WAITRESS TO TAKE STAND IN MURDER CASE Mother of Dorothy Jacob Testifies She Urged Girl to Give Up Morrison. Sensation seekers were promised a meal of morbid testimony this afternoon when Dorothy Jacob, 22, takes the stand to defend herself In criminal court on the charge of murdering Robert Morrison, her paramour. Asa morning of testimony closed, the crowded courtroom heard a defense which pictured the slayer as “very moral until she met Morrison.” The mother of the girl, Mrs. Doris Li, McGreavy, 1019 North Olney street, testified she urged her daughter to give up Morrison, but admitted she did not know they had been living together. Once Shot at Her She declared she aided them at one time when they were stranded in Michigan City by loaning them $lO. Other witnesses, some from the “half-world,” told of quarrels she had with Morrison and how, on one occasion, he shot at her in a hotel room. Probe into alleged perjury of defense witnesses loomed today as Prosecutor Herbert Wilson began a scrutiny of testimony of several persons known to police as underworld characters, who testified Wednesday. While defense attorneys sought to construct an alibi, the state today prepared its rebuttal case against the story that Miss Jacob killed Robert Morrison, her lover and common-law husband, in selfdefense. Lieutenant Michael Morrissey and Sergeant Patrick McMahan both testified they were well acquainted with Morrison and Miss Jacob. Morrison, they said, was notorious for his crime activities. It was known, they testified, that Morrison lived off the immoral activities of women, one of whom was Miss Jacob. Tell of Immorality Mrs. Betty Ferguson and Mrs. Jean Rogers, both admitted associates of Morrison, told of the numerous quarrels between Miss Jacob and her lover, and described the girl’s methed of earning “their living.” Willis W. Woods, 318 East North street, witness for the murderess, told of Morrison’s connection with Alexander and Theodore Geisking, brothers, both serving prison sentences for hijacking. Harry Siener, operator of a poolroom at 122 V 4 South Illinois street, testified that Morrison, on the night before he was killed, stated, “I’ve got a good job for my broad.” Leaves $1,000,000 Estate By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—An estate of more than $1,000,000 was left the family of the late F.

BLAMES BONUS AGITATION FOR DROPINBONDS Ogden L. Mills Makes Charge Before House Committee. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Agitation for a cash bonus was blamed for a drop in the government bond market in the last few days by Undersecretary ,of Treasury Ogden L. Mi; is. He appeared today with Treasury Secretary Mellon and Prank T. Hines, veterans’ bureau director, before the house ways and means committee to oppose bonus proposals. Representative Rainey (Dem., 111.) pointed out that the bonds had dropped following Mellon’s opposition to the bonus yesterday before the senate finance committee, and asked Mills directly “Don’t you think that was a manipulated market?” “No, I don’t think so,” Mills replied. “We’ve had a very weak market all the week. That’s what you’ve got to expect when the holders of bonds hear that the government may flood the market with $3,500,000,000 of bonds to pay off the soldier bonus. Naturally they are going to sell these bonds.” ( Mills reiterated to the house committee, which opened hearings today, the opposition _ expressed Wednesday by Mellon and read all the letters the secretary had written in the last few weeks criticising the proposal. Jointed criticism of Secretary Mellon was voiced by Representative Patman (Dem., Tex.), in appealing to the senate finance committee for favorable action on the bills. "With all due respect to the treasury department, I don’t believe we should take the statement of the treasury every time. We all know Mr. Mellon has been against veterans’ legislation. “I do not mean to say that he was dishonest or that there was any corruption, but a man’s feelings will cause him to make estimates in accordance with his views. Mr. MelBlackheads Go Quick By This Simple Method There is a simple method that makes blackheads go as if by magic. Get two ounces of Calonite powder from your drug store, sprinkle a little on a hot, wet cloth, rub briskly over the affected 'parts, and in two minutes, you will find every blackhead dissolved away entirely.—Advertisement.

lon'* feeling* about the veteran* are such that the mistakes he makes always are against the veteran.” Thomas Kirby, legislative chairman of the Disabled American Veterans, said Mellon had opposed all previous veterans’ legislation substantially in the same manner in which he now opposes the cash payment. John Thomas Taylor, legislative representative of the American Legion, read into the record a resolution of the Legion executive committee advocating further relief for disabled veterans and immediate cash payment of insurance certificates. Representative Connery (Dem., Mass.) said that "regardless of what the executive committee did, the rank and file of the Legion want payment now in full, without any half measures.” He termed the executive committee’s action a “straddle.” “A Wlckerstraddle.” suggested Senator Watson (Rep., Ind.)
