 Mexican Statement

Washington. Jan. 27 R-Secre- tary Kellogg refused to make any comment today on the assertion of Senator Bingham, republican, Con- necticut, during yesterdays senate debate that the American govern ment of Mexico sought to instruct" the delegates who represented Dr. Sacaza in the Nicaraguan peace con- ference at Corinto.
 Senator Bingham's statement was made during colloguy with Sen ator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, who had quoted from Mr. Coolidge's Nicaraguan message passage say ing the American government was informed the Sacaza delegates had referred during the peace confer ence to their Mexican allies"
 Senator Wheeler remarked that he believed the president had been "misinformed."
 'The senator does not realize, then" said Senator Bingham, that there is in the ..cssession of the state uSpeAA lAISAiS O SOPy VI dA OIllCleit l1lcS- sage from the Mexican government directing it's agents to tell the dele gates of Dr. Sacaza that if they did not do as they were instructed to do, all further supplies and favors would be withdrawn pm them?"
 f'No. do not know anything about any message of that kind" replied Wheeler. "but even if such a message were sent 1t would prove nothing whatsoever upon which to base this statement"
 Senator Shipstead, farmer-labor, Minnesota, remarked that the dis closure was entirely new to him, and that no such message had Ieen pro- duced by the administration despite it's promise that it would lay all its cards on the table.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Reno is
losing its prestige as the divorce

and the Seine tribunal, where marital
misfits are undone with a minimum
Of inconvenience and discomfort, are
making serious inroads into the here.
tofore prosperous industry of the
Nevada desert metropolis.
First, there is the trip itself. Who
would not prefer the pleasure of an
ocean voyage on a comfortable
and commodious transatlantic liner
equipped with every luxury, landing
one at Havre or Cherbourg, with
short boat-train trip to Paris, all
within A week, to five days across
the American continent aboard q
cramped and stuffy train to Reno?
And then the wait OF a few months
to establish A residence and get

with its operas and cafes, than in

wait, there on the fringe of desert
and mountain waste.
The answer is clear. Paris wins.
And to prove it the United States
Census Bureau, which delves into
all kinds of statistics, is just out
with figures showing how Reno's
divorce industry is on the decline.
In 1925 courts in the State of
Nevada granted a total of 1852

total slumped TO 1,021, with Reno's
quota down to 1855, a loss for the
State of 81 and for Reno of AZ in
the year.
1t may be a bit surprising to dis
cover that as Reno is losing ground
in divorces 1t is gaining in mar
riages at a rate that within a few
years promises to elevate the marry
ing parson to higher pinnacle than
the divorcing judge.

PEDDLER SELLS.
BIC BUSINESS !.

NEW YORK. July 15.-George
Kern who came to America al
most a penniless immigrant in
1883 from Stuttgart, Germany, was
revealed yesterday as one of New
York's wealthy men. following the
sale Of his SO 100000 meat business
to Adolf Gobel, Inc. The price
paid was not disclosed. but he is
retiring with a fortune running in
to millions.
The business. which has been
conducted under the name of
George Kern, Inc, includes the
largest dressed and processed meat
plant in the city. 1t ranks next
in size to the Gobel organization
in the protested meat industry.
Mr.. Kern's business career has
paralleled very closely that of Adolf
Gobel, founder of the business
which now has absorbed the Kern
enterprise. He started in business

Gobel as a peddler serving small
butcher shops. Mr.. Kern did much
the same thing after a brief period
as a blacksmith.
1t took MIR. Kern thirty years to
build his business to its present
proportions with annual sales of
more than $1O,O00,0O0. Eighteen
years ago he was doing business
of about $4,000 year.
Hit, Farwel' & Company. invest

which involved all but a small
amount of the Kern stock. Adolf
Gobel has acquired 81 per cent of
it and the rest has been placed
privately by the bankers. The
Gobel company financed the tran
saction out of funds which it has
been employing in the call loan
market. No bank financing was
required. 1t was announced by the
Gobel company, of which Frank
Firor is president, that the name
of George Kern, Inc, will be re-
