$400,000,000 INVOLVED IN BANK MERGER Transaction Gives Chicago Second Largest Financial Institution in U. S. TWO ARE ABSORBED CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—A drama of high finance ended here today with the completion of plans for the absorption by the Continental and Commercial Bank and the Continental and Commercial Trust and Savings Bank of the Ft. Dearborn National Bank and the Ft. Dearborn Trust and Savings Bank. Millions were marshalled to save millions and what might have been one of the most serious disturbances in Chicago's financial history was averted. Out of the merger has come the second largest financial institution in the United States. Over-extension of loans and credits had impaired the capital of the Ft. Dearborn Banks to the extent that the interests of the depositors were in jeopardy. Officials of the banks, realinzing their position, called in officials of the Chicago Clearing House Association. After an all-day session, when most of Chicago was observing the New Year holiday, the offer of the Continental and Commercial Banks, made through George M. Reynolds, chairman of the board, was accepted. By this offer the Continental banks take over ail of the assets of the Fort Dearborn banks, with the clearing bouse guaranteeing against loss up to $2,500,000. The Continental pays approximately $1,500,000 for the deposits of the two Fort Dearborn banks. With the acceptance of the offer, immediate transfer of the effects of the Fort Dearborn banks to the Continental banks began and all last night the usually silent end deserted canyons of LaSalle street bustled with moving men and motors and money. Records and equipment also were transported. By the merger, the Continental banks hare resources of approximately 8525,C00, - 000 and deposits in excess of $400,000,000. Financing of manufacturing, merchandising and real estate by the Ft. Dearborn banks, coupled with the existing business depression, are said to have ben responsible for the troubles of these Institutions. The banks were headed by the Tilden family, one of the eldest and best known in Chicago.

In Frankfort, Orville Henderson, new fire chief, was initiated right speedily. Just as be entered headquarters to relieve the old chief, an alarm sounded and it fell to Henderson to direct the fight against a $30,000 fire. Muncie’s new board of safety, as the first step in a shake-up, demanded the resignation of every member of the police department. Here’s another that happened in Frankfort: An Indianapolis detective went to the Clinton County seat to get a prisoner. No one was in charge of the Jail and the newly-chosen police chief was unable to advise. The city attorney was called and he said, “Take him.” The jailer was out, but the jailer’s mother “guessed it would be all right,” as the cell wasn't locked anyway. Fred Hopp. the man wanted, was sitting In.the unlocked cell, but said he was “ready to go."

BEAUTY A POOR WIFE , HE AVERS German Husband of Actress Is Divorce Defendant. BERLIN, Jan. 3. —The unfque plea that a professional beauty is too temperamen tal for any husband to live with, is part of the defense that is being arranged by counsel for Walter Osterle, prominent German architect, who is being sued for divorce by a Chicago actress, known on the stage as Arina Roma. Miss Roma also charges Osterle with bigamy and witlp defrauding her out of SIOO,OOO. She avers, after their marriage, her husband got large sums of money from her and eventually left her. She traced him to Berlin where, she asserts, she found him living with his first wife, from whom he had never been divorced. Osterle’s lawyer is working up a sensational line of defense. Too much temperament, says the lawyer, who declares Arma was a shopgirl in Chicago before Osterle met her. Her beauty enabled her to get on ttie stage and into the movies. Ostrle contends, owing to his wife’s pronounced anti German attitude, he was forced to leave her.

BRIAND SEES SECURITY IN BRITISH PACT Will Hold Forth the Olive Branch at Cannes MeetingASKS STRONG ALLIANCE PARIS, Jan. 3.- Premier Brland and Louis Loucheur, minister for liberated regions, departed for Cannes this evening. According to an Interview appearing in the Paris edition of the London Daily Mail, the premier will hold forth the olive branch of conciliation to the British on his arrival. The premier pleaded for closer ties between France and Great Britain. * “The key to the whole European situation and to France’s security is a pact of alliance with Great Britain,’ he said. “France has repeatedly asked for such an alliance and has made known her willingness to enter into it. It would be the best proof that our naval program is not directed against our British friends. Let there be a strong pact between Great Britain and France which will gradually absorb other alliances. Other allies can be taken in from time to time tinder agreements similar to that in the Pacific treaty. But the Franco-Brltish pact must be the basis of all of them.” Three troublesome questions will come up at the supreme council at Cannes, on which the French and British hoid divergent views: 1. German' indemnity. 2. France's naval aspirations. 3. The situation in the Near East. WILL RENEW DEMAND FOR GERMAN COMMISSIONS. It Is taken as a foregone conclusion that M. Brland will renew the request he made in his recent conference with Premier Lloyd George in London, namely, that allied fiscal commissions of control should be sent into Germany to supervise the finances of the nation. The British oppose any such move. On the naval issue the British are hostile to France's demand for a big fleet of submarines and light cruisers. As to the Near East, British sentiment has favored the Greeks while the French showed sympathy for the Turkish na tionalists by entering into a treaty with them. The British recently arranged a large losn for Greece. Premier Gounaris of Greece is already at Cannes to discuss the allies’ plans for peace intervention between the Greeks and the Turkish nationalists. WHO ARE BEST HUSBANDS? LONDON, Jan. 3—Mrs. Clare Sheridan, the sculpturess, says if she marries ■•gain she will pick an American husband. Miss Marie Novello, -the pianist, says Irishmen are the best lovers. Miss F.

Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Pally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Domestic politics Is beginning to come into its own again as the conference, with its exclusively foreign note, tapers to Us conclusion. Gossip centers mainly around prospective developments affecting the aenatorlai situation. Who's-to be-who in the upper branch of the Sixty-eighth Congress to be elected in 1022 is already affording food for speculation both wise and wild. Interesting morsels concern Ohio and New Jersey. Rumor hath it, for example, that Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General, and President Harding's chief political buddy, is not unwilling to consider opposing Poinerene’s ambition to succeed himself. From New Jersey comes the authoritative story that Governor Edward I. Edwards will enter the list against Senator Frelinghuysen, with the wet-dry Issue as the major l one of ccntentlo l. Senator Calder of New lork, so the stories go, will have the fight of his life i for re-election against populir ‘‘Al’ fc E. Smith, who cut down the Republican gubernatorial majority so hnvily in 1920. In Indiana, where Senator New may have to overcome former Senator Beveridge in the primaries, the Kepuh’lean candidate may find himself faced by no less a Democratic foeman than Thomas Marshall. So, at least, and ad libitum, rung the gossip mill on the Ptomac. It will not be long now before President Harding and Chairman Lasker of the shipping board, will be asking Con gress and the country to be thinking and talking ship subsidy. There is every indication it will be the banner public topic of the new year, with debate pro and con of illimitable dimensions, not only in Washington, but throughout the Nation. Meyer Ltssner of California, a member of the shipping board, is chiefly cooperating with Chairman Lasker In the preliminaries of the great campaign. Commissioner Llssuer represents the Pacific coast on ttie board. He has expert knowledge of the great West's hopes for

It does not dignify the Washington conference with so much as an honorable mention. The Summary says "The principal event of November was the meeting of tne council of the league in Paris, which was almost entirely occupied with the question of frontiers between Albania and the Serb-Croats-Siorene state.” Washington is about to lose one of its princely diplomats, Prince Casimir Lubotnirskl, first minister of the new state of Poland to be accredited to the United States.
