RIOT PREJUDICE
SEEN IN IOWA

LIE MARS, Iowa, May 18
0NSD-A spectacle which prob
ably, better than anything else,
discloses the present temper OF
normally law-abiding rural Iowa
was displayed in district court
here today.
County Attorney E. P. Murray,
prosecuting the farmers who
abducted District Judge Charles
Bradley from his bench and
attempted to hang him because
he refused to stop farm fore
closures, began arguments for a
change of venue for trial OF the
cases.
Only once before in the history
of Iowa has the State found 1t
expedient to ask a change OF
venue for trial of a criminal case.
For decades rural Iowa has been
the right hand of its law enforce
ment officers. But Prosecutor
Murray frankly fears he cannot
obtain fair trials" here. He is
arguing for a transfer of the
trials to Des Moines, Mason City,
or Cedar Rapids.

She continued:
First News of Case
"He told me Judge Louder
back had named him as re-
ceiver and approved the des-
ignation of Dinkelspiel and
Dinkelspiel as attorneys. That
was the first knowledge 1 had
Of a receivership being ap-
pointed.
"He told me they had full
charge and had nothing
further to say. He demanded
the combinations to the office
safes. 1 replied that only one
of the safes belonged to the
Prudential Holding Company,
and the others belonged to
other companies"
She declared Gilbert refused
to let her telephone to the preSi-
dent of the company telling her
"you can go to the telephone Of

cisco. attorney for the Golden

ings filed before Judge Louder

"The judge designated Dinkel-
spell & Dinkelspeil without con-
Sulting the interested parties.
The fees paid to this firm were
excessive, amounting to $751;

to the two Virginia State police
men detailed to escort her.
When the policemen, Sam Red

we're polite but firm. They had

they did as. they were told. Mid

turn to Washington right now,
Mrs. ROOSEVELT"
She said she wasn't. Said they:
"WelI, if you will excuse us
for mentioning it, you are back
on the Washington road"
For the rest of the trip they
led the procession. At Stratford
Mrs. Roosevelt told them:

HUSBAND TELLS
Of EXPENSIVE
HONEYMOON
Entertained Southern Beauty
Before Rites, Broker
Informs Court

NEWPORT, r. l., May 18
UN.S0 Intimate details in the
married life of beautiful South
ern girl, Mrs. Eugenia C'NiniD
woodward Jelke, were being barred
in Superior Court today as the
counter divorce suits of F. Frazier

The Wall Street broker has
testified that his young wife-She
is q and he 52-swore at him, was
lavish in the spending of money,
tossed $4,000 into a wardrobe and
cosmetics for her honeymoon, and
was entertained at Eagles Nest"
the Jelke summer place here, be-
fore they were married.
Drinking Ruled Out
Judge Charles A. Walsh, answer
Ing a defense motion, ruled that
all reference of excessive drink
tng" be stricken from the record,
declaring cocktails were the usual
thing before dinner.
Morgan j. O'Brien, defense
lawyer, asked:
What about cocktail parties?"
Judge Walsh responded:
That's not excessive drink
ing. That's the usual thing
before dinner; I'll pay no at
tentiOn to it,
The testimony of the husband
had been corroborated by Thomas
L. Haskins, mutual friend of the
Jelkes. Haskins told of a cock
tail party which Mrs. Jelke, her
husband, and another couple at
tended at the Atlantic Beach
Club, Long Island, in September,

had been calling him every half

her to give UP drinking compan-
ions, he said, but she replied:
C., I'll divorce you; I'll send
you q telegram about it,"
Jelke said he wired minis"
father in Birmingham, but never
received an answer. However, a
week later, said Jelke, his wife
walked into Chicago blatant and
hilarious with her dog Sugar"
which he bought her at Newport,
and "acted as though nothing
had happened"
Testifying regarding meeting
Eugenia at the Clambake Club
and of her weekend visits to the
eagles Nest" Jelke was asked:

MORGAN FIRM s
PROFITS SINCE
1925 Barred
3 Billions in Securities Sold
Public in 8 Years; Gross
Gain 120 Millions
BY LESLIE GOULD
International News Service
Financial Editor

NEW YORK, May Is G.N.S).
Three billion dollars in securi-
ties have been sold to the Ameri-
can investing public in the last
eight years by the international
banking house of j. P. Morgan
g. Co.
It is on its profits from these
deals that among other things
the firm will be questioned when
it's partners face Senate in
vestigation committee next week.
l2O Million Profit
The gross profit of the House
of Morgan and the members OF
the offering syndicates on the
average is estimated around 4
per cent, Thomas Lamont, Nor
gan partner, stated before Sem
ate committee some months ago
the gross cut" by the syndicate
ranged from to s and 7 per
cent.
A gross cut" of 4 per cent
that is, before deducting syndi-
cate expenSes-on three billions
would be 120 millions.
The biggest year for Morgan
syndicates was 1880. The next
best was 1925, excepting 1882.
1928 was strangely the smallest
year for syndicates, the 1929
total was comparatively a slim
one for Morgan Syndicates.
Due to Mergers
The explanation for this,
though, is found in the firms ac-
tivities in the merger field. Then
it was creating United Corpora
ton, the giant holding company
in the public utility field; Stand
ard Brands, the big foods COM
bine, and Allegheny Corporation,
the bag for the Van SWeringen
Railroad lines.
Investors in Morgan securities
have had varied fortune. Cur
rent prices for the bonds and
stocks sold range from losses Of
913s per $100 of bonds to a gain
of "a on an Italian industrial
issue, compared to the offering
prices.
The bulk of the Morgan issues
have been in the railroad field,
with the next largest offerings
in foreign issues.
