Complaining that George r.

women alone, Mrs. Natalie Nina
Watson, 1900 block jefferson St.
N. w., filed suit against him for
absolute divorce in District Su-
preme Court today, charging in
fidelity and naming two core

have two children. Early in 1881,
the wife stated, she left her hus-
band after discovering his love
affair with one of the core
spondents.
A reconciliation was effected,
the suit related, when Watson
promised to leave other women
alone. A few months later, the
wife said, her husband not only
renewed the affair with core
spondent No. /, but also became
involved with correspondent No. 2.
She left him September %.

Hearings before the Senate

today.

II should think MIR. Seal

fore the committee by next

"When the hearings were re-
cessed, 1 instructed Mr.. Seal
to obtain information SO that
certain points could be brought
out. 1t Is my understanding
that he has virtually COM
pleted that work and I believe
some important facts will be
shown. However, we probably
can conclude the hearings with
in short time, and the teSti-
mOny can then be prepared for
distribution to committee men,

HEARING
POSTPONED
% DAYS
TechnicaIity in Col. Cooper's
Injunction Plea Is Cause
of DELAY

A legal technicality arising in
the suit of Col. Wade H. Cooper
for a District Supreme Court in
junction to prevent liquidation of
the United States Savings Bank,
of which he is president and
majority stockholder, caused a
20-day postponement of the hear
ing when the matter was pre-.
sented to Justice Jennings Bailey
today.
ReIicensing Asked
Colonel Cooper, through his at
torneys, John w. Staggers, and
W. Bissell Thomas, had asked for
a temporary injunction to pre-
vent Treasury officials from car.
rying out threat to place the
bank in receivership, and had
also asked that the Comptroller
be required to relicense the bank
under a plan submitted some
time ago.
Justice Bailey first ruled that
it would not be necessary to issue
a temporary injunction because
any sale of the assets of the bank
would come before him for ap.
proval, and that a restraining
order could be issued at that
time.
Motion OverruIed
Attorney George P. Barse,
Treasury counsel, was then over
ruled on his claim that Colonel
Cooper's supplemental bill was not
properly in the case.
Justice Bailey granted Barse
20 days in which to answer the
bill, however, but stated that he
could not at this time promise
an exact date for a hearing.

SERIOUSNESS
FAILURE
Markup of 10 Per Cent Blamed
on "Chain Store" Influence;
"Last Ditch Fight" Due
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Wholesale and retail grocery or
ganizations split today as attempts
were made to legalize a proposed
master code for their industry
containing 10 per cent mark-up in
prices to the public.
One by one, as proponents Of
the proposed code sought to de-
fend it's provisions, elements
among those attending the hear
ing challenged their right to speak
for the trade.
1t developed finally that Henry
King, executive secretary OF the
National American Wholesale
Grocerymen's Association, de.
Scribed as a merger of several
groups, was not speaking for &
very considerable element of his
field.
Small Groups Oppose
Various independent and small
er groups rose to point out that
they had withdrawn or had re
jected the merger. Spokesmer
for supposed smaller stores or re-
tail organizations previously had
protested that the codes terms
would squeeze out many of Their
number.
George N. Peek, agricultural
administrator, and Dr.. Frederic
c. Howe, consumers counsel. in
dicated the intended makeup
would be unacceptable.
c. H. Jansen, of the National
Association of Retail Grocersr
made public letter to Peek, pro
testing against his position. He
said Peek's published comments
on the matter were regarded by
his group as IAN attempt unfairly
to prejudice them and their
position in the minds of the
public" Jansen defended the
code as an effort to eliminate
vicious" practices in the trade.
Last Ditch Fight"
H. C. Peterson, claiming to
represent three billion dollars
worth of retail grocery trade"
declared he and his supporters
would make a last ditch fight"
for the price mark-up. He
charged Peek and Howe had at
tempted to pack the jury"
against them.
In the hearing there were inti-
nations from spokesmen for ap-
posing groups that they regarded
the code as the product Of chain
store" influences and were un-
willing to accept it as an inde-
pendents' attempt to regulate the
retail food trade.

For several centuries the French
have believed-often with good rea-
