,JELKES DENIED
DIVORCES, co
OWN WAYS

NEWPORT, R. l., June / IN.s)
With their battle for divorce
ended in a legal tie, leaving them
still husband and wife, F. Frazier
Jelke, 52-yeaer-old Wall Street
broker, and his 28-year-old wife
Eugenia, went their separate ways
today.
Jelke at his palatial summer
place, Eagles Nest" declined tc
comment on whether or not he
planned to seek a Reno divorce.
Mini" was en- route to heI
parents home in Birmingham
Ala, refusing to state whether she
was Reno,bound.
Both Were Cruel
She left before Judge Charles A
Walsh, who heard the double
barrelled divorce case in Superior
Court. had made this finding:
TN this case, it appears that
each Of the parties hereto has
been guilty Of extreme cruelty
toward the 6ther. We cannot
grant either Of them relief"
OF the beautiful Dixie belle, the
court said:
I'VE are inclined to believe
that for her it was q marriage of
convenience and an opportunity
to indulge i'm luxury rather than
an. opportunity to become a
helpmate to her husband. The
wife liked excitement, social af.
fairs, and good time"
LOST TEMPER AT TINES
OF the wealthy broker, Judge
Walsh said:
eve are forced to the cOnclu-
sion that there were times when
MIR. Jelke lost his temper and
that, ut those times, he did use
vile and abusive language to his
wife, and, on occasions, used
physical violence toward her."
Mrs. Jelke has been receiving
$500 a month pending outcome O.
the case. She has seven days tc
appeal the decision of judge
Walsh. The two petitions wer
dismissed in a 130page reScript
Judge walsh held that:
Jelke was infatuated with mis-
young wife, but, because of the
discrepancy in their ages, they
appeared temperamentally un-
suited for one another.
Liked Gay Parties
Mini" liked gay parties and
enjoyed drinking, but was not
necessarily to be condemned for
this.
Jelke's charges of infidelity
against mini" were not sub
stantiated by the evidence.
Both used improper language
to one another.
Although he loved "Nini,"
Jelke did black her eye once.
He spent large sums of money
on her, despite her charges of
StingineSS.

Mr.: and Mrs. Prepare for Shopping Trips With
Banking Crisis in City Rapidly Passing Into History

as many checks issued by local de-
positors to persons in distant cities
will not be received here and
charged against local accounts for
several days.
The rush of persons to the banks
Tuesday to deposit currency which
for the last two weeks had been
boarded" in homes, gave striking
evidence of the confidence which
indianapolis holds in it's banks.
Tired bankers, worn out with
many sleepless nights during the
crisis while they sought to solve
problems brought on by the restric-
tons and the holiday, smiled weari-
ly, but happily. as they saw steady
streams of customers visit the re-
ceiving tellers' windows, while pay
ing tellers found time to chat in
between visits by customers.
In fact, about the only persons not
relieved by reopening of the banks
Tuesday were those with limited
bank accounts and pressing credi-
tors.
For today, they were without the
excuse that they could not pay their
bills because Of inability to get
money from the banks.

had refused to raise the oars against

holiday for four days, closed all local
banks and renewed the cash
problem, bringing on discussion OF
issuance of scrip in the form OF
clearing house certificates.
Several cities throughout the
country issued scrip, and samples OF
scrip were submitted to the In
dianapolis Clearing House associa-
ton. The idea was abandoned here
with announcement of federal plans
to release several billion dollars in
new currency.
End of the banking holiday def1n-

their cash resources depleted and

The banking crisis brought on a
spirit OF friendly cooperation which
may have lasting effects.
The old system of barter and ex-
change was adopted in some
quarters, and everywhere a spirit Of
consideration for the troubles of
others arose.
Public utility companies made
arrangements to take care of
patrons temporarily without funds.
Stores announced they would extend
the usual line of credit to customers
whose credit had been good in the
past. Grocers stretched a point in
extending credit. Even evictions Of
persons failing to pay rent was
halted.

The plaintiff is Thomas White,
about so, of near Washington, whose
mother was suspected of burying
$21 900 in gold coins and currency
received from the sale Of an 300
acre farm many years ago.
White alleged that four of his
nephews, Quill White, Owen Fitz-
gerald and Leon and Frank Raney,
all residents of Daviess county, dis
covered the hiding place of the
treasure and kept the money.
White is seeking the entire
amount and 5000 for alleged unlaw-
full detention.
Mrs. White had little faith in
banks, but disliked the idea of hav-
ing her life savings around the
house, according to Daviess county
lore.
So she purchased an iron pot,
reputed to have been about ten
inches in diameter, filled it with all
her coins and currency, and buried
it in secret. She never disclosed the
hiding place, the suit alleged, and
she died in 1891.
For nearly half a century the
story has been told and retold
among members of the family and
DavieSS county residents.
Relatives agreed to an equal di-
vision of the fortune if it ever was
found, according to the complaint.
In 1880, White found hole had
been dug near the farm home. The
suit attempts to prove that the pot
of gold actually was found.
The farm has been occupied by
tenants for several wears.

we may be able to get to the
beer bill today after disposing OF
the economy legislation" he said.
The bill provides that fifteen days
after its enactment it shall be Legal
to sell 80 per cent beer.
But any prediction as to the date
of beers comeback must take the
unpredictable senate into cOnSidera-
ton.
At present the fifteen to twenty
states in which the sale of beer
would be legal as soon as permitted
by the federal government are esti-
mated to have a population of 49,
100000. Federal modification proba-
bly, will result in quick local modi-
fication in other states.
The house passed the beer bill
Tuesday by more than three tc
one majority-316 to 81.
The house bill provides tax OF
SIS a barrel of thirty-one gallons
which would result in the retail
sale of beer at 5 cents glass. The
total federal tax yield would be
from $l25,OOOO0O to $150,000,OOO
annually.
Advertising of the beverage is per-
mitted, it can be sold to minors be-
cause it is declared Misunderstanding
and there is no prohibition against
radio advertising.
