timony of Mae Murray. screen and

suit in which she obtained a $4,000
judgment against Jack Donovan,
Hollywood architect has been order

charged Donovan had told her the
house was furnished with rare an
tiques but that in reality she found

they were exploited, robbed, and in
many cases ruined in consequence.
Their losses have never been COM
puted; they may be guessed from
these figures: From Sept. /, 1917, to
Dec. /. 1917. the market price of
beef cattle fell off $500 per Toe
pounds; and from Dec. j, 1917 to
March 6. 1918 (time Of the senate
investigation), the loss per steer
marketed was $50.

The answer is that they nay ex-
pect at the best the treatment re-
ceived from President Coolidge, that
is. nothing. and at the worst the

Hoover gave them during the war,
that is. something more to their dis
