Says He Laid DolDn
LauU to His Bride

Floyd Dell, popular novelist, dis
cussing marital problems in Hearst's
International claims he had the
temerity to address the following re-
marks to his bride the day after the
wedding:
IF you think this is one of those
modern, advanced, civilized, artistic,
sociological experiments, you are mis-
taken, young woman This Is regu-
lar old-fashioned honest-to-God mar
rage. And if one Of us finds the other
falling in love with some one else, she
had better not pretend to be refined
and unselfish and polite about it.
she had better trust to her instincts
and raise hi. Some things are worth
quarreling over and happiness is one
of them. And because we want to be
very, very happy, we shall probably
have many, many quarrels."

FIND WRECKAGE
OF MISSING SHIP
Steamer Clifton With CrelU
of 28 Believed Sunk in
Lake Huron Storm.

Cleveland, O.-Any doubt of the
sinking of the whaleback freighter
Clifton, with it's crew of twenty-eight,
was dispelled with the finding in Lake
Huron. of hatch covers and the for
ward end of pilothouse. No bodies
were found.
Capt. Dalton Hudson, of the steam
er Glencairn, of the Great Lakes
Transportation company, reported to
A. E. r. Schneider, general manager
of the Progress Steamship company,
owners of the Clifton, that he encoun-
oered the wreckage about seventy
miles from Goderich on the detour
Goderich course The wreckage as
described was identified by Mr..
Schneider as that of the Clifton.
1--WE arrived at Goderich at 1880
a. m. Sunday" the report states. En-
countered wreckage at p. m. on
Saturday about seventy miles from
GOderich on the detour Goderich
course. The wreckage consisted OF
broken hatch covers. In hopes of
finding something that could be iden-
titled as belonging to some particular
vessel, we cruised around for about
two hours. Finally picked up forward
end of pilot house. The pilot house
clock and searchlight we're attached"
The clock registered 4 o'clock, Capt.
Hudson told Mr.. Schneider over the
long distance telephone from Code
rich, Ontario, but whether the boat
sunk Sunday afternoon or Monday
morning is not known. She was last
seen passing Mackinaw at 1920 a. M.
Sunday morning en- route from Stur-
geon Bay to Detroit, laden with stone.
Capt Hudson was up bound on Lake
Huron last Monday. A gale was blow
ing from the westward when he pass
ed Harbor beach at a. M, and was
at it's height between and 5 o'clock.
A number of large steamers were
forced to seek shelter, and in the
opinion of Capt Hudson no boat the
size of the Clifton would survive the
storm if the vessel was forty miles
from shore.

HIGHT OUSTED
FROM MINISTRY
Confessed Prisoner of Wife
/ Banished From the Meth
odist Church.

Carbonate, Ill.-At the annual
meeting of the southern Illinois con-
ference here Rev. Lawrence M. Hight
of Ina was banished from the ministry
and from membership in the church on
charges of killing his wife and insti-
eating the poisoning of Milford
Sweetin, SO that he could marry Mrs.
Sweetin.
Hight was banished by a committee
known as the "select number" and a
report of its finding was submitted to
the conference. 1t was explained,
however, that this was mere for
mality and that the action was final.
Mount Vernon, ul.-The woman in
the Salem jail is on the verge of los
ing her mind.
Mrs. MILFORD Sweetin, love-pact hus-
band slayer, was in a semi-stupOr
when officials of this county seat Wis
tied her. She talked vaguely about
the murder to which she has con-
fessed, and she chartered about night
ly visits made by her dead husband
to her cell.
In only one respect was she coher-
ent. That was when she discussed the
associate in her crime, Rev. Lawrence
NJ Hight, who poisoned his wife so
that he and Mrs Sweetin might fulfill
their love pact
'I1e doped me-" she cried out. He
put something in the candy he gave
me that caused me to do his bidding.
"But / can't remember can't re-
member. Did / kill MILFORD? Did |
confess?
"Why. MILFORD came to see me last
night
Since being taken to the Jail at Sa-
lem, which is 25 miles north of here,
any effort to offer her solid food has
aroused a repugnance that even her
physician has been unable to under
stand. Her only sustenance was an
occasional glass Of milk.
Her brother, Earl Of st. Louis, Wis
tied her. He was greatly disturbed
over her physical and mental condi-
ton In her talk with him she DEM
.onstrated enough Conference of thought
to discuss her three sons, ByfOrd,
fourteen, Stanton, thirteen, and Harry
Lee, eight.
'What do they think of me?" she
asks
The brother evaded the question.
For the three children have become
violent in denunciation Of their
mother.

COOLIDGE HITS
U. S. OWNERSHIP
Lauding Continental Con-
gress, He Urges Sanctity
of Courts Be Preserved.

PhiIadeIphia.-S before a
large and enthusiastic audience at the
Academy of Music on the one hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary OF the
meeting of the first Continental con-
gress in Carpenters hall, President
Coolidge urged determined resistance
to all encroachments on the Constttu-
ton. By resolute determination to re-
sist all such Entertainments, he de-
clared, the people of this nation can
best show their reverence and appre-
citation for the men and the work OF
the first Continental congress.
Opposing ownership of the railroads
and public utilities by the federal gov
eminent, the President sought to show
that such ownership would impose an
impossible strain on the country's eco
nomic system. The people, he held,
should be left in control of their prop
erty.
Standing squarely once again for the
sanctity Of the courts as he did in his
Baltimore speech, the President advo-
Gated maintenance of the integrity OF
the judicial system, that the individual
may be secure in his rights.
Urging that the people keep control
of their government as well as their
own property, the President said he
believed this was one of the American
ideals of public welfare in harmony
with efforts of the first Continental
congress. He gave warning that
through breaking down of the courts
lies an easy way to cOrfiscation of the
property Of the individual and destruc-
ton of the individuals liberty.
He went back to the steps for CO.
operation of the colonies in the COM
mon defense in the French and In
dian wars. He told Of those exac-
lions of the English government which
threatened the liberties Of the colonies.
He drew a picture of the first Conti-
mental congress and referred to the
remarkable aggregation of men which
it brought together Emphasizing the
Importance of the work of the first
Continental congress, the President
said:
"Their deliberations and actions are
worthy of the most careful study by
the American people. If we would
better understand what they said and
did TO establish our free institutions,
we should be less likely to be misled
by the Misrepresentation and dis
torted arguments of the hour, and be
far better equipped to maintain them"
Setting forth in detail what was
done by the first Continental congress
in the way not alone Of addresses and
petitions but of effective actions, the
President stressed the wisdom Of the
men of the colonies of 1774 in policy
of restraint and moderation. From
this he drew lesson for present-day
application.

REPORT SHOWS PEAK
IN BUILDING PASSED
Caution Urged BY Trend Of
Rentals and Values.

Cleveland.-The Investment Bank
ers' association officially closed its
thirteenth annual convention with the
installation of the new officers for the
ensuing year, headed by Thomas N.
Dysart of the William r. Compton
company of st. Louis as president.
There were several important re-
ports presented to the convention,
notably that covering the real estate
situation, which caused probably more
comment among the delegates than
any other proceedings thus far.
The peak of real estate values, rent
ais and building costs has passed and
from this time on for a considerable
period the trend will be downward it
was declared in the report which went
into all phases Of the real estate mort
gage situation, considered one of the
most vital of investment topics in the
United States at the present time.
This significant paragraph was con-
tanned in the report:
Many dealers in real estate mort
gage securities feel that we are fac
ing testing time as to the soundness
and safety of a good many outstand-
ing real estate mortgage bond issues.
Statements have been made that loans
are out in amounts representing al
together too high percentage Of the
appraised value of the property; that
such loans night conceivably be good
for a limited period, but that in the
form Of long-term loans in cycle of
declining values loans on such an ex-
cessive basis would quite surely prove
unsatisfactory. 1t is obvious that the
greatest declines and heaviest vacan-
cies will occur in the poorer districts
and in buildings of least efficient de-
sign"
In the last few years there has been
a mounting total of securities sold,
based on leaseholds rather than actual
land ownership and the special COM
mittee of the Investment Bankers as
ISOLATION which has investigated the
subject warns that there are many
hazards in extending such loans or
selling securities based upon them.
