MILK BILLS

UNCOLLECTED

SPELL RUIN

James H. Gerrard Knox. Ind.. proprietor of a dairy which has been distributing milk in Hammond from a station at 646 State Line st., has been driven to the wall by the long dry spell and the difficulty in collecting accounts. He filed his voluntary petition in bankruptcy today in the federal court at Ham-mond. In the schedule is a long: sheet of names of Hammond people who owe him for milk. The amounts vary from $1 to $75. They total $610. He lists his debts at $9,206 and his assets at $12,660. This would be sufficient to more than meet all of his obligations except for the fact that $5,000 of the assets is machinery which may bring a much lower price at a sale and many of the open accounts are also likely to prove uncollectable.

TELL SORDID TALE OF DECEIT IN COURT South Bend's Notorious Case. Details Wrung From Erring Wife.

[INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE] SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Sept. 20. The sordid story of trickery and deceit wrung from the trembling lips of Mrs. August Tierman in her court

action to prove that Harry Poulin is the father of her baby born last November was to be taken up by her husband. Professor John Tiernan of Notre Dame university today. With Mrs. Tiernan's story of her illicit love romance with Poulin complete, even to the most intimate martial secrets. Prosecutor Floyd O. Jellison was next to establish through the testimony of her husband, wheth er theTiernans lived together as husband and wife during February and March of 1921- the 'love months' during which Mrs. Tiernan testified she kept her clandestine tryst with Poulin. If the court permits the professor will confirm his wife's statement that they did not live in the married relation during those months in an effort to prove that the eleven months old babe '"Exhibit A" in the case is not his child. M.rs. Tiernan has already explained how she tricked her huaband into believing that the babe was his own. Through blinding tears she told a story of carefully planned deceit. She went to him on April 2, she said, after she knew that she was to become a mother, and then on April 10th she told him of her condition. All went well until as Mrs. Tlernan said she was snubbed by her lover. Then heir love for Poulln turned to hate and the woman scorned determined to make the man pay as she had paid in the (heartaches over her sin. "I was crying around the house all the time I was preparing dinner." Mrs. Tiernan said speaking of the Sunday when Poulin is alleged to have snutbbed her. "Just before we were going to sit down to the table Mr. Tiernan asked me what the trouble was. "I couldn't stand he agony any longer and I told him." " That baby is not yours.' " "He said Oh my God' and fell face downward on the floor." The witness was trembling and sobs chocked her voice. Less than 10 feet away sat her husband, nerv-

ously biting his lip and glancing furitively at his wife. "Up to that time he had treated the baby as his owns bad always thought of it as his own?" questioned Attorney Samuel Parker for the defense. "Y --yes." stammered the mother. "It almost killed him. He get up and grabbed his coat and hat and left the house. He said to was going to find Poulin." It was not believed that the prosecution would complete its evidence today. Professor Tiernan would be on the stand for much of the day It was expected. Perhaps Mrs. Poulln, who is standing by her husband. in the denial of the charges, will be a witness at today's session. She has been subpoenaed by Prosecutor Jellison. Last night in answer to questions Mrs. Poulin declared that the world will soon be allowed to hear "their side of the oase." She also reiterated her determination to stand by her husband "to the finish."

[INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE]

NEW YORK, Sept. 20--Four hun-

dred and twenty-nine third class passengers, among, them about a dozen college students and sons of mil

lionaires, who arrived here today on

the United States Shipping Board liner President Adams, were forced

to disembark and undergo a fum-

igation process at Hoffman's Isand

The young men of wealth did not take third class passage from choice

but because they could get no other accommodations.

At quarantine, the first class passengers had been passed by the

health authorities when eleven third

class passengers were found to be

carrying "cooties'' which are barred

by the immigration laws. As the

eleven were being "herded" together one of them disappeared. When he could not be found. Captain Pendleton, of the President Adams, said that if the missing man did not turn up the whole 429 third class

passengers would have to be fumi-

gated. The protest was so violent

that a wireless call was sent out for a police boat. After a squad of police boarded

the liner the passengers calmed

down and fumigation followed. The missing man was not found.

The whole Hughes family is talented and lndmstrious. Mrs. Hughes is the author of a recent book of poems, published under the name of Adelaide Manola Hughes. A daughter. Avis. Is studying at a dramatic school. Rupert Hughes not only writes novels, short stories and photoplays, but is also an accomplished composer and musician, and occasionally models.
