‘GRANT HENLEY' MARRIED. LEGAL RECORDS SHOW Who Is This Man? Answer May Clear Manford G. Henley’s Marital Mixup. If Adjutant-General Manford G. Henley was not the “Grant Henley’’ who married Mrs. Ethel Williams in Toledo, O, Sept. 12, 1929, who is? This was the paramount question today in the investigation of what promises to be one of the strangest marital muddles ever brought to the attention of Marion county. On the marriage records at Toledo, O, and on the record books of fit. Paul Evangelical Lutheran church of that city for that date, investigators have found, photographed and obtained certifications that a marriage ceremony was legally performed by the Rev. L. P. Schuh. License Was Issued Mr. Schuh admits it. Phil A. Birkenhauer, marriage license clerk of the Lucas county (Ohio) probate court, says he issued the license. Mrs. Henley has filed a petition in Marion circuit court asking a two-year separation from the adju-tant-general, together with $5,500 in alimony and attorney’s fees. In the face of this, the adjutant general has reiterated his terse, but complete denial: “This whole affair is absolutely unfounded. I am not married to this woman, meaning that I did not participate in any marriage agreement with her, ceremony or anything else.” Press dispatches from Toledo state that neither Birkenhauer or Mr. Schuh can identify either of the parties as having been the participants in the ceremony performed there.The church records show that no witnesses attended the marriage, Ohio state laws not requiring them. Neither party signed the church record books, but someone signed the name of “Grant Henley” to the marriage license application. | Experts Examine Thus, this signature seems the only documentary proof of the presence of a “Grant Henley” in Toledo on that day. If Adjutant-General Henley is ■not the man who became a bridegroom that September evening, as he asserts, investigators point out that the question of that signature on the Toledo marriage record becomes supremely important. And upon that signature, the adjutantgeneral’s marital status may rest. Today photographers were busy gathering samples of the adjutantgeneral’s signature for the attention of handwriting experts. COUNTY COURT PAGES FILE SALARY SUITS Seven Employes Seek to Prevent Pay Cat by Auditor. Swelling the list of court salary battles started this year by county employes, seven pages in seven Marion county courts sued to mandate County Auditor Harry Dunn today to pay them salaries allegedly due from Aug. 15 to the end of this year.

NURSE SLAIN BY HIT-RUN AUTO Police Seeking Driver Who Fled After Accident. Struck by a hit-and-run driver, for whom police today are conducting a determined search, Miss Mary Killilea, 35, of 4025 Broadway, nurse at St. Vincent’s hospital, was injured fatally Monday night as she crossed Fortieth street and College avenue. According to witnesses the car was traveling south on College avenue at a high rate of speed and speeded up after striking Miss Killilea, throwing her clear of the car. She was taken to St. Vincent’s hospital where she died at 10:30. Floyd Starks, Negro, 23, 2438 Paris avenue, today was recovering from glass cuts and body injuries at city hospital. He was injured when a mail truck in which he was riding was overturned at Chester and Michigan streets Monday night. King Coleman, Negro, 2009 Alvord street, driver of the truck, said the vehicle skidded and, striking the street car tracks, overturned.

Who Signed Which? Adjutant-General Manford G. Henley says ho did not marry Mrs. Ethel Williams at Toledo, 0., Sept. 12, 1929. She has filed suit for separation. The upper signature is that of the “Grant Henley” who signed the Toledo marriage application. The lower one is that of the adjutant-general. Handwriting experts will probably be called to solve the puzzle of whether or not the two names were signed by the same person.

COTTON MILL I PAY ROLLS IN SOUTH BOOSTED 30 Per Cent Increase Is Reported by Head of Industry. BY FOSTER EATON I nited Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1930. by United Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 25.—George S. Harris, executive board member of the Cotton Textile Institute of America, said here today he estimated cotton mills of the south recently had increased their pay rolls approximately 30 per cent over the summer level. ‘ Our people must live through the winter,” he said. “They must be given an opportunity to adjust themselves to the changing conditions in the industry. This step has been taken as evidence of a willingness to help in every possible way.” Predicts Better Turn Harris conservatively was hopeful of the future, predicting that ultimately a shortage will occur in cotton good stocks of America which will send mills back into production on a capacity basis again. When that time may be expected, he said, can not be forecast. There are some 18,000,000 spindles in place in the south, normally employing during the last eight months some 250.000 workers, representing a total of about 750,000 persons dependent upon the mills for a livelihood. Operation has been on a basis of 50 per cent of capacity loom hours, he said, but now it is estimated to be 65 per cent of loom hour capacity. resulting in the 30 per cent pay roll increase. Signs Are. Hopeful Spindles in place in the north, Harris said, aggregate approximately 12,000,000 against 22,000,000 ten years ago, reflecting the southern trend in the industry. Hopeful signs in a situation which Harris characterized as “world-wide,” and which he traced to “war-time overproduction,” he listed as: Absolute lack of stocks on hand beyond the mills. Normal stocks on hand at the mills. Only slightly reduced public consumption. Reduction of purchasing to a “hand-to-mouth” basis. Production cut by the industry to 50 per cent of capacity for the last eight months, the lowest point in history.

He should have done it,” Mrs. Harding stated, “I never saw the report or I wou’d have corrected it,” she added. Donations by the food and supply merchants listed above ranged from $l4O to SSOO, Mrs. Harding’s report shows. BAN FILM CONTRACTS Supreme Court Justices Rule Present System Violates Anti-Trust L’ws.

‘KEEP UP WITH JONESES’ EVEN ON FUNERALS One Reason for Excessive Burial Costs in U. S„ Survey Shows. Bu PrriDns-Uotrard NcvsDnnrr Allianrt WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—“ Keeping up with the Joneses” even touches burial of the dead, and is one of two reason for excessive funeral expenditures in this country, the committee on the costs of medical care has ascertained. In its pamphlet, “Funeral Costs,” prepared by John C. Gebhart, the committee reaches two conclusions on why funeral expenditures are excessive. The first it names as “the desire on the part of the family for an elaborate funeral, either as a token of respect and affection for the departed, or to satisfy the demands made by the conventions or social and religious traditions of the group, or ‘to impress the neighbors.’ ” The second reason is given as “the lack of organization and waste in the funeral industry.” “In general,” the survey says, “funeral charges are highest in the east and lowest in the south, with the mid-western and central states
