It was deeper than that, though our divorce laws
made the whole thing possible Didn't Jelke,
frustrated, unhappy, bring about this divorce, in
stead of dignified quiet one, because he actual
Iy wanted the. public degradation of his wife
think he did.
He's over fifty, you know He has lived a
hard life. Perhaps he isn't quite "as sure of him
self" as he was when he was younger He knows
that And he knows Neenie knows it, too. And
she must have of him. She was cruel, undoubt-
edly. Her temper doesn't seem to be the sort
that would make her a candidate for the next
Americas Sweetheart. But Jelkes cruelty went
much deeper. He was willing to destroy COM
pletely the woman he once loved and who once,
he must have believed, loved him.
TELKE even brought evidence to prove that
Neenie had sighted his socially prominent
friends She wouldn't go to see them because
they bored her or because she'd have to walk a
few steps in the rain on muddy path. People
who were prominent in society were important to
a man who had made money in oeomargerne.
He'd bring the divorce publicly in Newport in
stead of quietly some place else. He'd bring
shame to Neene before the people she had dis
dained.
Neenie doesn't seem like the ideal girl bride.
Undoubtedly at times she did get out of hand.
Even so, don't believe she deserved quite the
things Jelke tried to do to her. A man trifle
more neurotic than Jelke might have murdered
her in fit of rage instead of trying to punish
her publicly and exhibit, in doing so, his own
wounds. After all, what did Jeke try to prove :?
That Neenie had been unfathful. That is the
gist of it. And wasn't Neenie unfaithful because
Jelke failed, as husband, to satisfy? Didn't he
spend fortune proving his own shortcomings? :?

Rothschilds in Europe, the Barring Brothers Of
London, the Lizards of Paris and the big private
banking houses of Frankfort-on-Main, Germany.
Yet, in spite of the lack of that hustling busi-
ness efficiency characteristic of American Offices,
it is the House of Morgan that has it's hand in
at least ninety of the nations leading corpora
tions and through "chain system" reaches out
and touches the life of almost every American,
no matter how indirectly. If you think of clothes,
radio, pickles, bread-almost any commodity
it leads inevitably to the House of Morgan.
The realization Of this vast power explains
the constant presence within and without the
building at No. % Wall Street of large corps Of
private detectives, constantly on guard day and
night
These same safeguards attend Morgan's
movements. Wherever he goes at least two
guards follow him. A guard even accompanies
him to church on Sunday.
His life is insured for $2,75O,OOO. Great as
this figure s he by no means leads the list of the
nations insured. Rodman Wanamaker's insur-
ance is placed at $7,5OO,OO0; Jesse L. Lasky's at
$4,000, ,0OO Frank P. Book, Detroit hotel man,
the same amount, and Pierre S. DUPONT at $4,-
100000 There are at least dozen others whose
lives are insured for more than $2,75O,OOO.
But then, it is unlikely that they have the
more comfortable insurance of private army
equal to that employed by Morgan. His friends

This simplicity marks the whole life of "The
House of Morgan" There is an air of leisure
about the place. There are no secretaries in evil
dence. When one is needed by Morgan or his
partners, she is summoned from the general
office on the second floor. There is no noise or
hustle in any of the offices and they suggest the
air of an old English commercial establishment.
In the quiet dignity and serenity of the place,
there is nothing to suggest the immense power
of Morgan: nothing to indicate that the House Of

both Jelke and Neenie guilty of "extreme cruel

eagerness to spend thousands to defiIe the woman
whom he had loved enough to marry, do not
stand alone. He is not rare phenomenon of our
civilization.
There was James A. Stillman, former Presi.
dent of the National City Bank, who, in spite of
the fact that it proved in court that he was
the father of Flo Leeds child and had had other
affairs far less respectable spent fortune and
sacrificed his own position and reputation in or
der to try to prove that his wife, Anne Potter
Stillman, had had an illicit affair with an Indian
and that her youngest child, Guy, was ilegiti-
mate.
The Stillman affair became slightly ridiculous
because the Stillmans came together again, Still
recognized the legitimacy of Guy-and then
Mrs. Stilfman got divorce and married
younger man.
Stillman and his wife were nearly Of an age
when they married but it was not until he was
we'll along in life that he took exception to Fred
Beauvas, the handsome Indian guide, and then
spent fortune and a reputation in order to
blacken his wife and incidentally innocent
child. Because of the notoriety, Stillman re-

THE divorce trials of W. E. D. Stokes ragged in
the courts for five years and Stokes attacks
were so bitter and so full of hate that he was
tried on charges of conspiracy to defame his
wife's character. Stokes was a member Of an
old New York family and married Helen Elwood,
a Denver girl, in 1911, when he was fifty-eght
years old and his bride was twenty-five.
In 1919 he brought his first suit for divorce
and was beaten. He tried again and again. Then
Mrs. Stokes sued for legal separation and OBJ
tanned it.
Stokes spent over million dollars. He en-
ployed small army of sleuths to get evidence
and to track down witnesses He accused his
wife of being an inmate of the malodorous Ever
leigh Club in Chicago, and that she had been
too friendly with negroes. His unjust accusa-
tions and his methods of securing his evidence
could only have been conceived by an insane
mind, mind turned in upon itself because Of
hate and Illustration.
FORTUNES spent. Regulations ruined. For di-
vorce? Because two persons find they are
bound together and want freedom? The desire
for freedom is only part Of it. The Jelkes, the
Stillmans the StokeseS-all are more than just
men who want freedom from women they no
longer love. They are disappointed lonely old
men, frustrated and unhappy, who feel through
a sort of mental twist, the necessity of Furnishing
the women to whom they once looked for hap
piness and who undoubtedly brought them, in
stead, domestic and intimate humiliation.
They gave fortunes and they gave their repu.
tatons. They lost money and position and power.
They had already lost youth and love. And in
the end they gained nothing at all.

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 G.N.S0.
The stock market was a dull
affair today with the main body
Of stocks holding around their
previous closing levels.
The action Of the list reflected
the current uncertainty over the
course of the dollar in the foreign
exchange market which was in
creased by the failure of the r.
F. c. to lift its gold price over
the world figure.
Reaction Checked
Opening steady to slightly
higher the market ran into some
offerings at the end Of the first
hour when the dollar turned
stronger and actually was higher
on the day.
The reactionary tendencies,
though, were dispelled by re-
newal of dollar sales which lifted
the pound and the franc above
their previous close.
Gold mining and metal shares
In general were erratic and hest
tant. United States Smelling,
American citing, Alaska
Juneau and Dome Mines after
opening higher turned easy and
surrendered most of their gains.
Liquor Shares Sluggish
Railroad and the pivotal in
duStrial shares swung in a COM
paratively narrow range to show
little change from their last
nights closing.
Liquor shares including Ma
tional Distillers, Schenley and
American Commercial Alcohol

HUSTON s BOND
FEE RAPED

CHICAGO, May / U.N.SJ.
Alfred in the muck Of Chicago
and Cook county's billion-dollar
receivership and foreclosure scan-
dial, the Sinnett legislative COM
mittee was adjourned today to
consider the astounding dis
closures revealed by witnesses at
inquiry hearings and to formulate
from the maze of evidence new
and model legislation designed to
protect bondholders from the par
asitic practices Of receivers.
The inquiry, begun as a more
or less routine legislative investi-
cation, has gained momentum as
bondholderS have appeared before
the committee and declared the
receivership situation "a racket" :"
and have revealed huge fees, fee
splitting by lawyers, juggling Of
accounts, and miSmanagement of
accounts and Of property.
One Of the revelations was the
charge that Claudius H. Huston,
one-time chairman Of the Repub-
hcan national committee in the
Hoover administration, received q
fee Of $4,000 for acting as ad-
wiser to Peabody and Company,
Chicago bond house, in that con-
Germs reorganization of a now
bankrupt railway supply house.
This was but one of many
large fees doled out by the bond
company. The reorganization cost
the railway supply house $478,-
900, and in the opinion of Fred
erick A. Brown, a former presi-
dent Of the Chicago Bar Associa-
Gon, precipitated receivership.
