‘LOVE NESTS’ OF CHICAGO ‘PONZI’ CROSSCOUNTRY Victims of Ten Million Swindler Appear Before Grand Jury, By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Victims of Leo Kortez's astounding oil swindle, which is now believed" to have netted him $10,000,000, were to appear before a grand jury today. At the same time Mrs. Kortez will testify in a bankruptcy hearing which is expected to indicate the extent of the swindle. The wife of the "second Ponzi,” it is believed, knows little of her husband's business operations. When the "oil bubble” first exploded, Mrs. Kortez was living with her children in an expensive suburban hoqje, surrounded by luxuries, all gifts of her husband, whom she believed was a millionaire "broker.” Kortez spenHittle time at his home. Last Seen In New York While investigation of the swindle was in progress, others were attempting to trail Kortez. He waa last seen in New York on Dec. 5. At that tiw' Kortez complained to friends ht . "sick and tired.” "I have been having trouble,” Koretz declared, “and I’m sick and tired* of the worries connected with this oil business. I’m going away for a long, long time, and you may never see me again. My physician gives me only six months to live.” Woman Angle Injected The “woman angle” in Koretz’s affairs, first Injected into the investigation when it was found he had been living in another part of Chicago for four years as "A1 Bronson” with a woman known as "Mrs. Bronson,? became more complex today. Investigators said they have discovered a "path of love nests” from coast to coast. "We started out by following the old French maxim, ‘Find the woman,’ and it has led us to not one woman but perhaps a half dozen.” Assistant Prosecutor Klarbowski said. Koretz supported "love nests” in New York, Chicago, Colorado Springs and a place near Yellowstone Park, Klarbowski said.

DR. WICKS BEGINS SERIES OF SERMONS! ON OUR DEBIS Pastor Shows What America Owes England for Gifts of Freedom, The first sermon of a series “designed to show that America owes of its greatness to other lands,” was preached Sunday by Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks, pastor of All Souls Unitarian Church. * England was the first country to be considered. He will preach one Mrmon a month of this series, including the countries of France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Greece and Africa.’ In discussing the object of the series, Dr. Wicks said: "The aim of the course is to meet and overcome a widespread prejudice against those we term foreigners, a prejudice that fciinds our Judgment, warps our feelings and introduces discord in our midst. **We must recognize that our blood flows from many arterie*. We have every nation under tribute,” he said. Our Debt to England Considered in Sermon In considering our debt to England,! Dr. Wicks said: "First of all, we are indebted for what we may call a Spirit, eluding all definitions, a Spirit that loves freedom and will have it at any price, a spirit tha demands wide spaces for the enjoyment and development of personality; a spirit which expresses Itself in laws and institutions that protect all in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. With our English fathers came all the laws that make for freedom. "They brought the common law, the basis of all our laws; they brought the writ of habeas corpus, protecting us from unjust imprisonment, trial by jury, the most effective way yet found for insuring justice; they brought the practice of democratic assemblage for the making of laws. “Their town meeting was the parent of democracy, passing, as the country grew larger, into representaive government; they declared for freedom speech, free press, free schools; the right of petition for redress of grievances; for no taxation without representation; all the laws that make a people free. "Almost as great a bequest as these laws Is our intellectual inheritance through a noble language which gives us Shakespeare, Milton and a host of literary geniuses as our very own.” he said. Dr. Wicks then examined the prejudices which have stood in the way of a recognition of our indebtedness, and showed how lacking they were in foundation. He promised that in dealing with other countries he would speak as generously as he bad done with England. t Winter Coughs and Colds With the changeable weather which we have at this season of the ( yeat; coughs and colds are very prevalent. Be prepared for them. Have a bottle of FOLEY S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND handy, and with the first sign of a cough or cold take a dose and prevent a serious ailment. FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND has been the standard family cough remedy for over 35 years, bringing prompt relief and when once used you will never be without it. Sold everywhere. —Advertisement.

FORTUNE EXTENDS JINKS FOR GIFTS TO HARDING FUND

Week-end and today’s contributions to the Harding Memorial fund raised the total to $8,693.71. Subscriptions are continuing to come Into the campaign headquarters at the Unon Trust Company. Wiliam Fortune, chairman of the Indianapolis committee, said: "The response in Indianapolis Jto the appeal for contributions during Harding Memorial week has been better comparatively than in other cities, and I believe it will be found that the Indianapolis contributions will comprise a large part of the total from Indiana. Again our newspapers have given the co-operation that has made this possible and makes community effort more successful in Indianapolis than in other cities where there is less effective support from the press. “A distinctive feature of the Indianapolis response has been the large number of contributions from $25 to SIOO. and the two of SSOO each from Thomas Taggart and Postmaster General Harry S. New. Contributions of SIOO were reported from Van Camp Hardware and Iron Company, Real Silk Hosiery Mills, Arthur C. Newby and Taggart Baking Company. Other contributions of SSO were reported from S. E. Rauh, A. M. Rosenthal and the Indianapolis Water Company. The Times made a contribution of $25 today and received $1 from O. T. Roberts. 3243 Park Ave. MRS.
