SAN FRANCISCO, September s.
A jury today was expected to begin
deliberation in the murder trial of
Frank J. Egan, deposed public defender,
and his co-defendant, Albert Tinnin,
who are charged with the Staying of
Mrs Jessie Scott Hughes.
Superior Judge Frank H Dunno said
he was unable to complete his instruc-
tions before today because of the long
list of points of law offered by defense
counsel. There also was unexpected
delay when Judge Dunno sent Defense
Attorney Vincent w. Hallihan to Jail
fer contempt of court.
Hallihan, after several hours in Jail,
was released under $500 bond on a writ
of habeas corpus issued bv Associate
Justice Benjamin <. Knight of the
District Court Of Appeals. Judge knight
set Tuesday for hearing of the writ
The defense attorney was not permit
ted TO return to the court room, how
ever. A bailiff met him at the door
orders were that he was to be excluded
until such time as he had served

The Runaway Wife
By VERNE CONNELLY

we're talking the situation over and
making plans to leave. Here
hadn't a notion of how I was to
accomplish my divorce hegira, and
suddenly, in the most perfect manner,
fate takes the matter in hand and
haven't worry"
II have, and you're it, When we get
| to Reno I'm going to put you through
strict regime of 10 hours sleep, four
or five hours in the open, and a few lit
! tie things like that to straighten you
out. If you think you are going to lead
| the gay life in Reno, you're mistaken"
Il probably won't want to. The thing
that's on my mind right now is what
address to given Mr.. Junet and Mar
| tin"
Don't give them any. Have them
mail your pay checks direct to the bank,
and tell them we are going wandering
out West, and will write them when the
spirit moves us. Then we can either
forget to write at all. or get people we
meet in Reno, who are leaving, to mail
letters from other places for US"
Jean ended the discussion with this
though she worried about all the de-
ception involved She was naturally
herself, yet life was constantly forcing
her into situations where she must
hide the truth. She complained of this
to Marcia, but got small solace.
You are responsible for lot your
self, young lady, and don't ever forget
it. With your temper and your i'm
pulsiveness, you upset your own apple
cart with pretty consistent regularity"
That's not fair. You have told me
over and over again that I have i'm
proved SO much you'd hardly know me
for the same girl"
I'm sorry, Jean. You have done a
lot for yourself-no one knows that bet
ter than I. It's that Southampton epi-
sode that rankles, guess"
1T rankles with me, too. I'm angry
and hate myself every time I think
of it,"
Jean was busy for a few days pre-
pairing for her trip. It was necessary
to see a lawyer and arrange for some
one in Reno to handle her case. She
also sent for Jim to come and see her,
a fact which alarmed him.
You're not f1gurin' on maxim any
trouble, are you Jeannie?" he asked
apprehensively, sitting on the edge OF
chair. MY wife and I get along
swell. She never wants to be goin' out
to work; she's satisfied to be cookin
for the store and takin, care Of little
Jimmie"
She's not your wife. Jim, don't for
get that. But you have nothing to
fear. I'm going to get a divorce and
you must agree-give power of attor-
ney to lawyer in Reno, and I won't
have any difficulty. Then you can
marry this woman and give your young
ster name"
II thought Of that, but I figured as
long as nobody knows we're not legally
married, it didn't make any difference
any way"
1T makes a lot Of difference, or al
least it might some time. Besides,
want to be free-I want to get married
too. Now, tomorrow, you go and SEE
! this lawyer" Jean gave him card.
You're kinda different, Jeannie," HI
said. You're grown up like. You wa:
more little girl when :"
Yes, know, Jim. hope have &
little more sense now than I had then.

total building and loan assets" Mr.. Gel
lariuS pointed out.
This decrease is of little significance
because it but reflects the existing busi-
ness conditions. 1t bears no relation
ship to and in no sense affects the
safety, stability or fundamental sound
ness of the building and loan business.
1T will be met with a corresponding
and even greater increase as soon as the
forces of recovery gain sufficient mo-
mentum to restore men and women to
their jobs"
He said that the contraction Of lend
ing operations of the business to the
degree indicated by 1881 figures would
be more than equalized by the Federal
lions of dollars of additional credit
available for home mortgages.
Despite the adverse general business
conditions that beset the country dur
ing 1881, he reported the building and
loan losses during the year amounted
to but twenty-six hundredths Of per
cent of the assets. In comparison,
losses in 1880 amounted to twenty
seven hundredths of l per cent OF
assets.
Three Washington building and loan
leaders participated in the convention.
They are c. Clinton James, a past
president of the United States League;
William S. Quinter past president of
the Building Association Council of the
District, and Carl j. Bergman, vice
president of the local council.
Construction of more small homes,
repair and moderniZing of existing
dwellings of the country and adoption
on a wider scale of a policy of thrift
and conservation of resources instead
of taking lucky chance on fortunes
Wheel was urged on the public by
William E. Best of Pittsburgh, Pa, re-
firing president of the league. Stating
that the Home Loan Banks would make
1t possible to meet two of these condi-
tions, Mr.. Best predicted that the build
ing of loW-cost homes would be devel-
oped on sound basis during the COM
ing years.
"Overbuilding may be true in some
lines of construction, but certainly it is
not the whole truth in the home build
ing field" he said. I'VE have hardly
scratched the surface in the building
of homes in the low-cost field"
He urged that the building and loan
institutions make use of the Home Loan
Banks Immediately upon their estab-
lishment, so as to bring the greatest
possible assistance to the home owner.
He also suggested that the associa-
tions adopt policies so as always to
have funds to take care of the most
needy members, and that the associa-
tions be leading exponents Of system
attic savings by the public.

cradle success inducing employers to
shorten working hours and add new
workers, league explained, and the CO
ordinating Committee will work gen.
orally along the same lines. The en-
ployers will be reached through local
chambers Of commerce. the American
Legion and various business organiza-
tions.
The committee will seek to bring
home to employers that their cooper
alton is essential to any improvement
in unemployment conditions.
Adopted by 300 Companies.
While many employees might see Sc
rious difficulties in effecting the read
justment, the fact that it is not i'm
practicable is evidenced, Mr.. Teagle
said, by its adoption by more than
5000 industrial companies as volun-
tary measure to keep the largest pos
sible number of employees on their pay
rolls. Employees of his own company,
he added, were entirely willing to give
up part of their time so that addi-
t!onal workers could be engaged, and he
felt that the same spirit would be dis
played by employed workers generally.
There is a general feeling" said
Teagle, that the depression is on its
way out. Yet We cannot have pros
perity with some 100000 people out
cf work. Improvement cannot go far
until these men begin to move back into
jobs. Once they begin to move back TO
work, however. the employment situa-
ton will cease to be a drag and become
instead a spur to the return of pros
perity.
Successful operation of the job
sharing idea implied the complete
cooperation of all hands from the
highest executive to the lowliest worker
1t is not a fantastic idea, because 1t
has been successfully tried out already
in many industries"

HARTMAN URGES
REPEAL OF DRY LAW
Head of U. S. Chamber of Com
merce Favors Adoption Of
British System.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo Sep
tember 3.-Repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and adoption in its place
OF the British system of high taxation
and strict regulation in the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor was recon-
mended last night to delegates to the
Intermountain Economic Conference by
Henry I. Hartman Of Boston, president
OF the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States of America.
Mr.. Hartman said that whereas
under the British policy the consump-
ton OF beer has decreased SO per cent
and the consumption of hard liquors 70
per cent. "12 years of actual trial of
the eighteenth amendment has resulted
in almost as much alcohol being con-
sumed in the United States as in 1914
and drinking of whiskey and gin en-
couraged at the expense of drinking
beer and light wines"
This we have accomplished In u
years with the loss of at least s12,-
000. 100000 of collectable revenue to our
Federal, State and local governments
a sum equal to three-fourths of the
outstanding debt of the United States
in 1890"
The conference was called for a dis
cussion of business problems confront
ing western Mountain States.

victory Of John B. Chapple over the
veteran Senator John j. Blaine may
be a surprise to the state and ma
ton, but not to the neighbors in the
young editors north woods home
town.
He gets what he goes after, just
as he always has" was the talk
along the streets of this city of II 900
today.
But the politically-m n d d
citizenry, and that's host in Wis
consin, can't quite realize that 81
year-old firebrand, unheard of ex-
cept by friends a few years
ago, has crowded out the La Toilette
supported Senator Blaine for the
Republican nomination for the
United States senate.
1t is as hard to realize as that
Governor Philip F. La Toilette was
so signally defeated for the guber-
Material nomination by Walter j.
Kohler.
Chapple toured the state from one
end to the other, sending couple
Of his newspaper boys ahead in a
small automobile as advance agents,
following in his own car, and sleep
ing in tourist camps to save hotel
bills.
He once spoke twenty-five times
in six days. He polished. off the
speeches that he thundered at the
La Follettes by practicing in the
woods.
he built up strength to stand the
strain of the campaign by swing
ing an ak against big trees.
He had no money. He went sew
eral thousand dollars in debt and
mortgaged his home. He wrote
several books and pamphlets, scor-
ing the La Toilette regime and sold
them 20 audiences at a modest price.
Finally, Chapple shut up his home
here and sent mis- wife and their two
little girls to the home of the wifes
mother so he could give every min
ute to the struggle.
He charged the La Follettes were
using the same methods as the
Soviets, except there were no
machine guns" and were fostering,
teaching and actually putting into
practice the doctrines and methods
of Communism"
Chapple is a man of as powerful
physique as his convictions.
He can fell trees, pilot an airplane
or a motor speedboat; in university
