ing between police and anarchists

SHELBYVILLE, KY, Sept. %.
(UP)-A joint murder warrant
was filed yesterday against the
three Carr brothers, Blue Grass
aristocrats, charging them with
killing Brig. Gen. Henry H. Den
hardt, who Tuesday would have
gone to trial the second time for
the Staying of their sister.
Eyewitness to Monday nights
Staying was Rodes K. Myers, Bowl
ing Green lawyer who was chief
defense counsel at Denhardt's
murder trial last May. That trial
ended in a jury disagreement as
to his guilt in the death of Mrs.
Verna Carr Taylor, pretty widow
to whom he was engaged.
Myers told his version of the
shooting yesterday to DR.. F. l..
Lapsley, county coroner, but the
brothers-Roy, Jack and DR.. +. S.
Garr-refused to discuss it when
Commonwealth Prosecutor II. b.
Kinsolving advised them that they
need not do so. Earlier, police
said, Roy Carr had tried to take
all the blame for the shooting.
The brothers will not be ar
raigned before Friday, it was said.
The Carr boys" as natives Of

VAST FORTUNE
NOW SHRUNK
Truck Valued at $40 All
That Is Left of Claus
Spreckels Estate
BY ARTHUR N. SUVERKRUP
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Corresponds nj
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. o.
(UP)-A broken-down, four-cyl-
inder truck, which will not oper-
ate and is worth only $50 today,
is all that is left of a fortune
once counted in the millions of
dollars.
The vast fortune which Claus
Spreckels inherited from his su-
gar baron father, the late John d.
Spreckels, dwindled during the
lifetime of the son to that wreck
of motor vehicle.
Unfortunate investments and
ill-advised speculation in the
stock market largely was reSpon-
sible for the swift drop in the
Spreckels fortune.
However, when Claus SprekclS
died here a few years ago, his
children, Claus, Jr., Frank, Bar
bara Ellis and Clair, and his wild
ow, Mrs. Ellis NJ. Spreckels, were
not left penniless.
TRUST FUNDS SET UP
Trust funds established by the
grandfather cared for their finan-
cial interests, independent of the
state of the fathers estate, it was
revealed, just as trust funds cared
for other grandchildren.
The widow is remarked now,
and Claus, Jr., only few months
ago took a bride at a quiet FAM
lily wedding in Coronado.
The fortune which disappeared
during the lifetime of Claus
Spreckels, ST., was only a part OF
the vast sugar fortune left by
his father, and the greater part
of that fortune, while now divid.
ed among grandchildren, is still
intact.
Spreckels' disastrous financial
history was revealed here when
Superior Judge Gordon Thomp-
son, with swift strokes of his Ju-
dicial pen, wrote "finis" to the
settlement of the estate.
ONE LINE TELLS STORY
Lawyers commented on the
ironical contradiction provided by
the single line in the inventory
of the estate as finally approved
by Judge Thompson. That single
linet read:
"Four-cylinder truck - not IN
condition to operate-$20."
Lawyers who handled Spreck-
els estate recalled that at one
time the man was high eXecu-
tive in the vast enterprise OF the
Spreckels companies. His fortune
at that time was counted in the
millions.
A few years before his death,
attorneys recalled, Spreckels was
forced to file in bankruptcy.
IN NEWS IN 1928
Claus Spreckels flared briefly
into the headlines in 1928 when
Bertha "Babe" Kaths was arrest
ed in Los Angeles and kept in a
psychopathic ward for two days
on . charge of alcoholism.
At that time Miss Kaths charg-
ed she was "railroaded" because
of her romance with Spreckels.
On the witness stand she recount
ed. during two hours of testi-
mony, how Spreckels had shower,
ed her with furs, jewels and
clothing during 'cross-country
idyll. -. yn
The recital won Miss Kaths her
freedom. 80 ,oo-
Spreckels died January IL, 1888,
and his estate was finally settled
q few weeks ago.

IDEAL MARRIAGE AGE
DECLARED TO BE Is

BOSTON, Sept. 22.-(UP).-
Young couples would have a bet
ter chance at martial happiness if
they waited until they were rs
years old to wed, according to
Mrs. Hilda Quirk, recently retir-
ed Boston marriage registrar.
Mrs. Quik believes the age be-
fore which girls must obtain pa
rental consent for marriage
should be raised to 81, the same
as now holds for boys.
A difference in age of man and
wife, if not too great, will not
affect their happiness, especially
if the man is about 40 or so, &C
cording to Mrs. Quirk.

Suggestions
For Filling
Stockings
There Are So Many
Items That Make
Good Gifts.
BY ELSIE PIERCE

ONCE We started scouting for lovely
little things as stocking sugges-
tions, we found so many that it would
take week or more to tell about them.
Here are a few worthy OF honora Bile
mention.
A little nail brush in the form of a
fish will be quite welcome to young and
old alike. 1t is shaped to provide a
convenient hold for thoroughly cleans
ing around the nail bed 1t has firm.
resilient bristles and it comes in colors.
The travel kit tooth brush Is another
swell tuck-in for the toe Of the Christ
mas stocking. The holder does a
presto-chango act, screwing to the end
Of the brush and becoming a handle
when it is not q holder 1t is much
simpler than it sounds in the telling
and it comes in red. blue, black, green,
yellow and rose. A perfect little luxury
for the traveller.
Another ideal gift for the traveller
is little Zippered bag. rubber lined
on the inside and washable on the out
side; holding two jars and two bottles
| into which you pour your favorite To-
tions and creams. In case of leakage
or spillage the rubber lining serves as
your protection. This little kit fits into
a mother kit, that looks like airplane
luggage, has two convenient handles
which you slip over your arm or sus-
pend from an accessible hook in berth
or cabin.
There are untitled kits, too, fat, en-
velope styles, which snap or zip and
are designed to hold many sundry arti-
cles.
Similar little envelopes are available
for the woman who travels from purse
to purse. A splendid time-saver is the
little envelope that holds all the little
makeup items that the average purse
collects. 1t will save tempers, too i.
tempers usually lost in hunting for
odds and ends that somehow find their
way to the out-of-the-wa corners Of
purse. I'm giving several Of these little
envelopes. They're available in stand
ard colors to match purse shades.
Small, compact manicuring sets
make splendid gifts. What a welcome
blessing they are when the nails need
repair.

Ski Suits.

While Tyrolean yodeling has been
confined for the most part to radio
hillbillies and cowboys, Alpine fashions
have gained more widespread in
dorsement. Female sport enthusiasts
have pounced upon the colorful Swiss
sweater blouses as just the thing to
wear while cavorting down the sides
Of New England hills.
More ambitious girls can crochet or
knit these blouses out of crochet cCt-
ton-the more lustrous and colorful
the better. The bits of embroidery
work about the collar and binding
will give them something to test their
ingenuity on before the ski trains
start rolling and transporting them
to snowy hills-and spills. Who
knows? Maybe It's the clothes the
Swiss wear that make them such adept
skiiers, and II you make your sweater
good enough perhaps the dops may
become fever and Lass jarring.
