The Miners left Detroit in Janu-

riences, before Doctor Miner re-
turns to Wayne in September.
Hard to Get Out
In a letter TO his associates at
Wayne, Doctor Miner. Saturday,
recounted his difficulties in getting
out of Africa after the beginning
of the war and the transportation
problems encountered by him and
his wife.
There were simply no boats
from Africa to any OF the Am
ericas." said Miner. "There was
one overcrowded limo with such
an Irregular schedule that one Z
man, who had n July reservation
10 sail, gave up waiting In No
yember, married and stayed In
Africa.
"The lack Of boats meant that
the desert route by which we
came down land vowed we would
not take AGAIN. was the only
way left.

Doctor Miner wrote. ut had be-

experiences we were certainly
impressed with the advantage OF

The Senates defiance Of the

The Republican nomination for

decided by the fight in Detroit
next week for control of the
Wayne County COP convention.
Edward n. Barnard, party chief
who lost control last September.
will be back battling with the So

to elect former Attorney General
Paul VOORHEES, as chairman of the
county meeting. Wayne's votes

rector Of the Wayne County road
commission.
But if Barnard regains control.
which is possible. then majority
of the state convention delegates
from Detroit will be for Charles
Ziegler, unsuccessful COP nomi-
nee for highway commissioner four
years ago.
Ziegler has lined up 80 or 40
out-state counties and can win the
nomination if Wayne supports him.

wrong since Mr Beck would marry her as
soon as hc could get divorce from his wife
who had been mistake.
The idea seemed reasonable. When per-
son makes mistake with the pointed end
OF a pencil he ribs IT out with the eraser end
and rewrites il right Mr. Beck having made
"a mistake in love would rub it out by divorce
and write her name as the right Mrs. Beck.
But alas he never got around 20 II.
Perhaps one reason was that Mrs. Beck
having never worked in the pencil factory
refused 10 be erased
If one cannot rub out an error, the best
alternative is TO start new page right
Stella says they did that very thing by going
20 various towns including Shclbyvllle where
her name was written down as Mrs Beck.
The Colonel admits that she did this by OPEN
ing accounts in stores in and around Shelby

To prevent embarrassment. his name was

he explained According 10 his version. Miss
Montalbano had left her JON not 10 be- mar

youth, in the transportation business.

tory doors until the
various suits have been settled.
Miss Montalbano announced that the pencil
company was due 70 receive a check for $780,
900 from ten-cent-store chain and wanted
the money impounded in her interest.
If the eye-feastng and rug-removng hurt
Stellas feelings, that lady prosperity was no
more pleasing 20 Louise who complains as
follows:
While the complainant louise was re-
ceiving the monthly pittauce of S75 which
was sometimes forgotten and often late the
said stella Montalbano last winter purchased
and charged to Beck. furs with which 20 be-
deck her body. at the cost of $1,000
Complainant is further advised that the
said Stella Montabano has bought the costli-
est of clothes and that she has nveigled Beck
into purchasing for her. diamonds and iewelry
costing many thousands Of dollars and that
Beck has furnished her automobiles of the
newest and handsomest makes has spent
fortune in payments to jewelers.. furrlers
dressmalters, hairdressers, etc
she has had servants TO wait on her and
has spent her time in ease idleness and lux
ury while the complainant the lawful wife
OF Frank II Beck has done all her own work
cooking, washing. scruhbing and cleaning the
house"
The lawful Mrs Beck does not consider
the body-bcdeckng justified by any business
partnership She says that Miss MontaIbano
never acquired bona fide partnership in the
pencil company and even accuses her Of con-
spring with an unnamed export accountant
to-deprive the manufacturer of his home and
the larger portion of the Empire Pencil Com-
pany which has acquired the assets of the
Detroit evening times., 1941-09-21

Your complainant further states" the
Dill continues that the defendant Stella
Montalbano is more than 80 years younger
than the defendant Frank H. Beck The only
interest that she could have had in him was
what she could get out of him by virtue of
Illicit relationship
The disparity of ages between the two
persons was too great for there to have any
other motive for her than TO feather her nest
at the expense not only of the complainant,
but ultimately of the misguided defendant,
Colonel Beck
That the motives Of Stella Montalbano
are further evidenced by the fact that she has
enjoined the defendant from entering his home
and that she has attempted TO wreck his
business by seeking a receiver for his prop
crty"
Referring TO Miss Montalbano, her COM
plant says
This person. in 1919 was employed in the
pencil factory of the defendant She was
known at the time as Stella Frank having
taken that name in lieu Of her real one. The
said Stella Montalbano soon obtained very
strong influence over Beck"
Mrs. Beck says that she spoke TO her hus-
band about the unfortunate affair" but that
II only resulted in their becoming more and
more estranged
Miss Frances Foster is round-eyed with, in
dgnant astonishment that her name should be
linked with person old enough to be her
grandpa.
Col. Beck wishes he could reverse one Of
his pencils and rub out the record of about
three ladies he has known But, as Omar
Khayam put it,
The moving finger writes; and having writ.
Moves on nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure II back TO cancel half line
Nor all your tears wash out a word Of it"

Col. Frank Beck, Whose
Fencil EraSers Couldn't
Rub Out His Troubles
with the TREE Women.
Including His Wife, Who
Are Now Involved in All
That Confusing
Litigation.

Also she charges that Stella
caused the accountant to write
Beck a letter outlining a
scheme whereby he could OBJ
tain a California divorce and
transfer his property to Miss Mon
talbano. through a will. All this
Stella vigorously denies.
Whatever papers may have
been executed" Louise's complaint
maintains, were wholly without
consideration and made for the
purpose of defeating her rights.
But the very nature Of the re-
lationship between Stella Montal-
bano and Frank II. Beck is of it
self a fraud on the complainant's
rights and such transfers are
tainted with immortality and if
made, were in consideration Of the
continuance of that immoral rela-
tionship"

veloped into something more than fatherlv
interest she says. adding that they lived to-
gether In New Rochelle Pelham and Bronx
vile r. all suburbs Of New York City
The Colonel denies ever promising mar
riage and relates that he and Louise had been
happily married until their l6-year-old daugh-
ter was killed in automobile accident
After that tragedy, he and Louise became
estranged and he started taking an interest in
Stella
But the Colonel now alleges that Stella
has become an habtual dIunkard who not
only has assaulted him with a whip hut some
times whips the servants all Of which is de-
MED by Stella who likewise says she was
never engaged 10 a bootlegger.
Not being even common-law wife Stella
cannot very well sustain a claim for dover
rights and having known throughout all those
years Of intimacy that Colonel Beck was
married man. a breach of promise suit might
look bit seedy in court therefore she asks
her share of the pencil wealth, on the ground
that she is a business partner
Stella charges that Colonel Beck provided
pretty Miss Frances Foster the newly pro-
NOTED eraser-fixer with a handsomely-fur-
nished home took her TO Nashville and pre-
sented her with new automobile
The last straw, according to her complaint
came when he pulled an expensive rug almost
from under her very feet at Shelby Pines and
gave il 10 Frances.
The Colonel asked the court 20 vacate the
temporary injunction against his living in his
own home and TO grant one forbidding her TO
annoy him at the factory
Chancellor Lee compromised by ordering
the Colonel to keep away from Shelby Pines
