DIVORCED WIFE
dies IN WANT
Millionaire Dukes Mate Passes,
Suffering for Lack
Food

NEW YORK, Oct. 26. - Mrs.
Lillian N. Duke, who was divorced
twenty years ago by the late tobac-
co magnate, James B. Duke, died
early Sunday morning in her music
studio on West Eighty-eighth street.
She had been unconscious since De-
tober % when she suffered two cere-
bral hemmorhages.
Since the death of her former hus-
band on October 10, Mrs. Duke had
been greatly depressed, according to
her attorney, Miss Lillian Pugh, who
said Mrs. Dukes condition was I'M
doubtedly complicated by lack of
food. She refused to accept loans
from friends, her attorney said.
The tobacco manufacturers first
wife died in perjury, although twelve
years ago she was mistress of for
tune then estimated at $100,000,0O0.
At the time, Mrs. Duke pre-
sided over the fnbsand's mansions in
New York and Newport; in recent
years she had been reduced to giving
music lessons to a handful of pupils.
She had studied at one time under
Jean Re Reszke.
Miss Pugh said Mr.. Duke knew of
his former wife's difficulties before
his death. In his will, filed for pro-
bate on October %, he made no pro-
vision for her, but left the bulk of
his estate, now estimated at $780,
100000 to his second wife, Mrs. Nan
aline H. Duke, and to their daugth-
ter, Doris.
Mrs. Lillian Duke stood on a knoll
in Central Park and watched. with
tears streaming down her cheeks,
during the funeral procession of her
former husband on its way down
Fifth Avenue.
A year after their marriage. Mr..
Duke brought suit for divorce, nam
ing as correspondent Major Frank r.
Huntoon "a former officer in the Old
Guard and head of a mineral water
concern.
1t was said at the tim etha divorce
was granted that Mr.. Duke made a
settlement on her of 100000, but
Miss Pugh recently denied that Mrs.
Duke received any sum from the to-
bacco man for the divorce.
Three years ago, Fred A. Lindsey
was sent to Sing Sing prison for
swindling Mrs. luke of $325,O0O in
cash and $4,000 in jewelry.
Mrs. Duke brought suit last May
to have her former husbands divorce
invalidated.

BABY STRANGLED
IN A PORCH SWING

Donald Lewis Morfeld, the IA
months-old infant. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. B. Morfeld of the old ball park was
found dead by the mother under the
most narrowing circumstances. Mrs.
Morfeld found the baby chol1ed to
death by the cords of the movable
swing that depended above the crib in
a sleeping porch and the very highest
skill of medicine which was available
soon after the tragic discovery, was
unable to restore life to the little one.
Mrs. Morfeld had put the baby to
bed on the screened porch and went
about her customary duties. Some
time later, perhaps an hour or so, she
returned to the sleeping porch and
discovered that the child had become
enmeshed in the cords and had strug-
gled until the rope had tightened
about its neck and death resulted
Mrs. Morfeld frantically summoned a
doctor, but it was too late.-Prescott

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS ARE
LAID OUT AT WASHINGTON

Washington-An index of location
and routing for American tourists in
every section of the country was pro-
vided in a vast system of United
States highways selected by the joint
board on interstate highways at
Washington. A network of roads from
the Pacific to the Atlantic and from
Canada to the gulf includes $4,000
miles of highways. They will be desig-
mated by uniform markers telling the
tourist just what road he is on and
where it will take him. The work of
grouping roads into main arterial
highways was left to subcommittee.
The routing of national highways sys-
TENS through Arizona follows:
From Yuma to Gila Bend, Phoenix
to Globe and Solomonville and to Dun
can, from Phoenix, Tucson to Douglas;
from Douglas toward Lordsburg in
New Mexico; from Phoenix and Pres
colt to Ashfork; from Java, Calf, to
Ashfork, Flagstaff and Holbrook to
Gallup, N. M; from Holhrook to St.
Johns; from Flagstaff north to the
Grand Canyon, Kinball and toward

GOVERNOR OFFERS $500 RE-
WARD FOR GADSDEN BANDITS

A reward of $500 was offered by
Governor Hunt for the arrest and con-
viction of the three bandits who shot
and killed G. T. Hobbs, the cashier of
the Gadsden State bank, Thursday af-
ternoon.
The governor is of the opinion that
more trouble of this nature may be
expected in Arizona in the near fu-
ture and is urging officers to use their
utmost watchfulness in preventing an
ingress of the criminal element to Ari-
zona.
This belief is based on the fact that
in eastern and midwestern centers
hardest hit by the crime wave, vigi-
lance committees have been organized
among the citizens, armed with re-
peating arms and sawed-off shot guns.
The effect has been to scatter the ban
dit bands, and it is not without the
pale of resaon, thinks the governor,
that these bands should find their way
into Arizona.

Is a Lion afraid Of a cock2

Medieval wiseacres used to wag their heads
and tell tales like this in the village marketplace.
An amusing superstition, of course but is it
any more absurd than the belief that there is
something mysteriously better" about eastern
motor oils just because they cost more and
come from eastern crudes? Professional drivers
and economy-run experts out afterrecords don't
share this superstition why should you pay
tribute?
Zerolene the choice of Wesfern Motorists
Zerolene lubricates more cars in the Pacific
Coast states than any other oil made--a better
oil if it does cost less. Zerolene increases the
gasoline mileage, reduces the carbon removal
and maintenance costs and lengthens the life Of
any car in which it is used
Zerolene checked fifteen times for quality
AS matter of fact the best crude so far dis
covered for the manufacture of motor lubri-
cants is obtained on the Pacific Coast And the
most highly developed refining process is the
high-vacuurn process, the patents on which are
held by this Company. And Is positive checks
on Zerolene at the refinery make quality con-
troll absolute.
Why pay tribute to superstition when you
want the best oil you can get? Insist on Zero
lene-aSk for it by nan7e.
