Clerk Is Post —Matrimony Aid

BY ARCH STEINEL “T TULLO Red! What did the big bread-and-butter man do foi- me JIJL this month?” Eighteen hundred times a month, sometimes more, affable John “Red” Roessner, juvenile court clerk, hears this query, with variations, at his “alimony counter” at the courthouse. Sometimes the queries are doleful, sometimes pert, but always they are from women hoping to collect “board-and-keep” for themselves and children from erstwhile mates or mates that want to be erstwhile.

“Red” recites how the county acts as a matrimonial collection agency for $21,500 monthly, how the much- vaunted “support money” ranges from $1 to $250 weekly, how 2.100 children are safe from the metaphorical wolf-at-the-door. because of the money he receives and doles out. But that’s not the real “Red” talking. The real “Red” Roessner is a philosopher. He hears wedlock’s record play a daily tune of hate, misguided affection, jealousy. unfaithfulness—and he’s not staying unmarried because of it. For Roessner laughs with them and at them because of scenes like these: Wife No. 2: tapproaching the counter! —“Well, here’s the alimony installment. I hope she chokes on it.” Wife No. 1: (Same scene. Two hours later)—“She’s getting her fill of him, I bel—and paying too. If he’d a stayed by me—well he wouldn’t be paying this money out.” tt tt tt IIFE had passed her by. It / had nassed her by as it might have walked away from the bench where she sat near “Red’s” counter. She fingered the stub that would obtain her “support” money from the cashier’s window.

A darkness smeared the rouge on her cheeks. She walked toward the cashier’s window, got the money, and walked out of the courthouse. “Her first payment since the divorce,” explained Roessner sympathetically. 8 8 8 “"*TOU say there’s no money for me this time?” and the maroon-dressed one fairly murdered the air with her words. “I’m sorry but there isn’t. Your husband left this note,” retorted "Red” as he handed her a blank of scratch-paper. She read aloud: “I’m having the seat of my trousers patched, my shoes half-soled, paying the last installment on the sewing machine you bought, finishing that bill you made at the department store, —and can’t give you anything this time. Will do better next time. Bill.” “Bill! umph.” she muttered.” Bills—that’s all he talked about when we were married and that’s all he talks about now.

ROARING flames from a burning auto illumined the darkness at White river and Kessler boulevard at 3 a. m. today. Miles away. Fire Lieutenant Edward J. Webber went about his duties at fire house No. 18, on West Washington street near Belmont avenue, innocent of the conflagration that was of so much interest to him. Not long after firemen from a north side engine house extinguished the flames and obtained the license number of the charred auto. Webber was disturbed by a Times reporter who phoned the engine house. “Webber, do you own a WillysKnight with license number 78497?" the reporter asked. “Well. I’m not sure that's the license number for sure,” Webber replied. “Wait a minute. I parked it in the rear of the engine house. Hold the line. I’ll take a look." Nothing but the early morning noises from the fire house sounded over the line for a minute or two. Then ' “Hey! My car is gone!” Webber yelled. Firemen who extinguished the blaze said a can of gasoline was found near the auto. Police said thieves apparently sneaked the car from its parking place during the night and set fire to it alter a joy ride.

GIRL TO TELL FACTS IN RIVER SLAYING CASE Gloria Rouzer Will Be Held Two Days to Give Deposition. fsn Prrtut NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 31.—A legal technicality will delay, for at least two days, the release of Gloria Rouzer of New York, who is held here in connection with the death of Jack Kraft. Miss Rouzer, who first gave her name as lone Ord, is held as a material witness in the case, but. under Louisiana law, she can not be detained indefinitely. It was planned to take her deposition today and then release her, but District Attorney Leander Perez pointed out he had not received the ' required forty-eight-hour notice for : filing of the deposition. Thus, the girl must be held until such notice I can be filed. Kraft’s body was found in the Mississippi river. An inquest revealed he died from a bujlet wound, but Miss Rouzer said he jumped off the rail of the steamer Creole, on which they were passengers. John MeGouldrick, second officer of the Creole, was arrested on a charge of murder when the vessel docked in New York recently. MeGouldrick will be arraigned in Plaquemines parish district court on Nov 7, at which time a trial date will be set. VERDICT REVERSED Former Klan Lieutenant Wins Liquor Appeal. Conviction of Court Asher, Muncie, former klan lieutenant of D. C. Stephenson, on bootlegging charges was reversed Wednesday by the state supreme court.

Attorney Tom Miller of Muncie has set a record for securing reversals in similar cases. The at-torney-general’s office made no effort to defend the conduct of the lower court. Asher, who was notorious in Muncie for his alleged liquor and KuKlux Klan activities, offered as defense that he was addressing a klan meeting at Columbus when charged with selling liquor to Delaware county deputy sheriffs on June 30, 1923.

I Sanctuary Rosenwald Guarantees Stock Market Accounts of Company Workers.

Bv United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—1n a copyrighted article, the HeraldExaminer said 'Wednesday Julius Rosenwald. chairman of the board of Sears, Roebuck & Cos., has guaranteed the stock market accounts of the more than 40,000 employes of the company. He has pledged his personal rortune of millions of dollars to prevent any employe facing the damage of having his savings swept away, the story said. The Herald-Examiner said Rosenwald’s decision was reached immediately after the disastrous plunge of stock prices last Thursday and that on that day he called a conference of company officials. Among those present were his son, Lessing, vice-presi-dent of the company; General Robert E. Wood, president; W. O. Lewis, treasurer, and John Higgins, another vice-president. 8 8 8 T TIGGINS was quoted as saying: “My first step was to look up the accounts of all our employes, not only in Chicago, but in all the other communities where we have branches or offices. In every case in which it is found that an employe is carrying an account on which, in this bear market, his margin has grown too narrow for safety, our procedure is to communicate with the broker handling the account. “The broker is asked whether additional collateral is needed to safeguard the account, and we simply put up the collateral, so that our employes shall be able to weather the storm.” HALLOWEEN REVELERS INJURE TWO BY PRANK Potato Thrown Into Car Showers Glass on Man and Daughter.
