and Bootlegging Ruin
Uncle Sans Clean Dollar Bills

The automobile and bootlegger
were blamed for one more brand of
trouble today, when 1t was learned
that they are believed partly respon-
sible for the Treasury's new policy of
trying to substitute the old-fashioned
silver dollar "cartwheel" for the crisp
one-dollar bill.
It's the dirt.
The automobile and bootlegging
are dirty businesses-at least. the
greasy and soiled bills with oily fin
serprints and the filthy bills that
come out of the country'S bootlegging
centers SO attest
Treasury officials have found that
the most "offensively soiled" money

destruction halls from one certain
section-not named for publication

alleged to flourish in its most happy
hunting grounds. Some of this money

On July II. less than a month be-
fore her final decree was due, Mrs
McVickar again appeared before JUS
tice Tompkins and petitioned him to
invalidate the interlocutory decree,
pleading that she preferred to remain
married to bearing the stigma of di-

On August 10, McVikar asked JUS
tice Tompkins to reconsider the in
validation of the decree and reinstate
him in his briefly held role of di-
vorced man. 1t was this petition that
the court denied today.

of this condition that the Government
has been reduced to a hand-to-mouth
condition. so far as printing money is
concerned. 1T is unable to keep up

BERLIN, August 19.-The Reich
stag probably will be called Thurs
day to begin discussion of the laws
Germany must pass to make the Lon
don settlement effective and to enable
the Dawes plan to operate. hence the
question, what will the Reichstag
do?' is on the lips of every one.
The Geramn government has done
everything in it's power to prepare
the ground for smooth legislation.
1t accepted the counsel of the deIega-
ton to London advising acceptance.
1t convened the party leaders who
even those not in the government
advised acceptance. Now 1T Is plac-
ing the acceptance plan before a
committee Of jurists to advise IL 1t
is necessary to have a tWo-thirds
majority, since the treaty of Versail-
les provides for plurality passage of
laws necessitated by the treaty.
The news that the French are show
ing their good will by evacuating APP
penweir an important railroad CEN
ter, and are preparing to evacuate
the Dortmund region In occupied
Westphalia, is strengthening the
hand of the Berlin government
greatly. Appenweir commands the
main line from Holland to SwitZer-
land. Dortmund Is the advance point
Of the French occupation beyond the
Ruhr into Westphalia. 1t Is the home
of one of the largest SHINES works.
Opposition is expected from Ma
tionalists, headed by Ludendorff and
Won TirpitZ. The former has just
conducted d military review, iron
ically staged at Weimar, the home of
the German constitution. There was
a parade of fascist troops in uniform.
Speeches We're made denouncing the
Marx government and prolongation of
the Ruhr occupation. However. not
much opposition is expected. since
Ludendorff seems to be strong on
words but disinclined to do anything
except beat drums.
Hence Germany awaits without
trepidation the Reichstag meeting
Anyway. German laws and traditions
permit the dissolution of the Reichs-
tag If 1t is stubborn, and this would
mean new elections. with new gains
for the middle parties, since the cause
of peace is gaining ground

Left $2O5,OOO to Husband.
Mrs. Mors left an estate of $125,ooo
and $4,000 in life insurance to her
husband, 1t was revealed here today
by Mors' lawyers and the district at
torney's office.
Another development was the an
nouncement by Mors' attorneys that
$1,000 worth of jewelry, composed of
black pearl, a brooch and a dia-
mond and sapphire studded watch,
had been stolen from Mrs. Mors the
night she died. They demanded that
the district attorney Investigate the
disappearance
The will Of Mrs. Mors bequeathing
everything to her "beloved husband
was drawn in New York, August 4,
1921. One of the witnesses who sign
ed it was Mrs. Schapp.
The police abandoned search for a
moving picture actor, or pugilist. to
whom Mccoy was reported having
confessed early Wednesday that he
killed Mrs. Mors. This man, named
in an anonymous telephone call to
police headquarters by woman's
voice as Dick Summers, or Dick Som
mers, apparently is a myth, the police
say.
Mors was granted special letter
of administration by the superior
court, under which he may reopen
| tho antique shop OF Mors, Inc. by
posting a $4,000 bond pending the
probate of Mrs. Mors' will.

The much married former pugilist
