BIZ Times Special

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 5.-Issues
are being formed in the 100000
suit Of Gustave Jordan, Anderson
factory foreman, against Charles E.
Miller, wealthy Anderson rubber
manufacturer, for alleged aliena-
tons of affections of the PLAINTIFFS
former wife, Mrs. Clara Jordan. The
case probably will be tried during
the October term of Madison circuit
court, unless a change of venue is
taken by one of the parties.
The manufacturer instituted suit
for divorce from his wife about a
year ago, but she won the decree
on her cross-complaint, alleging her
husband had been guilty of asso-
ciating with Mrs. Jordan while she
was married and after she had been
divorced. Jordan AYERS Miller was
able to win Mrs. Jordan's affections
because he was a man of great
wealth.
The divorce suit has been ap-
pealed to appellate court by Miller,
who is resisting an order awarding
Mrs. Miller $4,000 alimony.

OPEN SPACE DEMAND
OF CITIES DISCUSSED
Indiana Conservation Director
Speaks in Chicago.

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Oct. Sit is a far
cry from the Boston Commons to
the modern city park, but the ten
dency iS~the same, a demand for
open spaces in or about a city, de-
clared Richard Lieber, director OF
the Indiana department of conser-
walton, in an address here Friday
night.
Lieber was the principal speaker
before the Chicago Regional Plan
Association, and delegate to the
fifth Ohio Valley regional confer
ence on state parks.
The modern industrial city has
accentuated and accelerated the
demand for parks, without which a
city would choke itself, the speaker
asserted. Such danger now ex-
lists, for instance, in New York,
around Forty-second street and
Fifth avenue. Chicago, on the other
hand, has been especially fortunate
in making good use of it's superior
Typographical position by building
a city park system of extraordinary
scope and magnif1cence.
Lieber, engrossed with develop
ment of Dunes state park, largest in
the Indiana chain, of which he is
the director, pointed out that the
park in reality will be an outer Chi
cago park, and because of it's &C
feasibility to transcontinental mo-
torways, will draw patronage from a
large portion of the nation.
