THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., WEDNESDAY, JULY. 13, 1921.
STANFORD PROPERTY VALUE BROUGHT OUT IN TODAY'S EVIDENCE Testimony to show the value of the personal property of Roscoe Stanford, defendant in the divorce suit filed by his wife, Maude Stanford, now being heard by Judge W. A. Bond in Wayn circuit court, at the time of the couple's separation in June, 1920, was given Wednesday morning. The attorneys for both sides have been debating this question since the opening
day of the trial and finally agreed to an estimate of $2,715 on personal property. The value of the real property has not been ascertained yet and considerable debate is expected to arise over this. Roscoe Stanford, the defendant, was placed on the stand at 11:30 Wednesday morning by the pfaintiff to bring out some points relative to his possessions at the time of separation. L. H. Stanford, the defendant's father, preceded him on the stand, and testified concerning the management of Roscoe's affairs during last summer
when he was given the power of
attorney.
Tells of Live Stock. : Mrs. Hulda Hart testified regarding the amount of live stock on the Stanford farms the day before the couple f-eparated. She stated that Mr. Stanford had told her about all of his live stock. India Stanford, 19 year old daughter of the principals, took the stand in her mother's behalf Tuesday evening. The direct examination of her brought out the incidents immediately preceding the breach in the family. She stated that her father said that he "would like to get them all in a machine and drive over a bank and kill the whole bunch." On the morning that Mrs. Stanford left her husband the witness stated that Mr. Stanford saJd he didn't "give a damn how -oon they packed up and got away." Recall Mrs. Stanford. Mrs. Stanford was recalled to the :-tand Tuesday evening. She was nuostioned regarding her efforts to have a guardian appointed for her husband wnile he was in an Oxford j-anitarium. She denied this. Cross-examination of all witnesses was exceedingly keen. The children were asked to identify numerous letters written before and after the teparation of the parents in which words of endearment were addressed to the father. Mrs. Stanford will rest her case early Wednesday afternoon. Attorney Harlan states. The defense will be started immediately. Attorney Pigman is expected to make an opening statement which he reserved at the opening of the trial. To Produce Letters. Xumerous communications between the two parties will be the chief source of evidence that will be introduced by the defense it is expected. Mrs. Stanford is asking a divorce, care and custody of three minor chil-
batable cases the rule that presumption is in favor of the men should permit the making of a favorable awardWants Simple Procedure "It has come to my attention, Cel. Forbes writes, "that a great many disallowances have been made, and that almost automatically additional medical evidence has been required in every case recently filed. It has also
come to my attention that in somj instances the papers in the file are already adequate to justify a decision without further delay or without asking for further evidence. Probablv such cases constitute the minority and are due to the volume and press of work. However that may be, there is an almost uniform feeling in the field
among our representatives and in the country at large, among the ex-service men and other people, that this bureau is making" too difficult the matter of the presentation and prosecution of a claim by continual demands for new evidence and by the apparent attitude of resolving doubts in favor of the government and putting the entire burden of proof upon the claimant. . . It is my desire, therefore, that all employes shall be instructed
that although I expect and desire no indiscriminate and unsound decisions
relative to a claim for compensation or insurance, nevertheless I am convinced that at present we are somewhat too strict, and I desire liberality in the handling of claims before this bureau."

"The War Finance corporation authorizes me to say that it stands ready to assist in financing such reasonable amounts of cotton on a sound business basis under any proper plan by which the War Finance corporation may be definitely assured that the amount of its advances will be repaid through the export of cotton with a year." The spirit of this message could be condensed into three words "Please get busy" and it is apparent from recent utterances of Secretary Hoover of the deparatment of commerce that the same slogan represents his notion also of what is now most needed.

of it are protected financially and cannot be made to accept lower prices. The desired psychologica effect should be to make the European spinners realize that cotton has reached its lowest price, and thereby stimulate buying on their part. Send Telegram Having taken this step, the War Finance corporation, with an initiative characteristic of it but infrequent in government institutions sent a remarkable telegram to the Federal International Banking company of New Orleans. This banking company was organized last winter in the south under the Edge law, through subscrip
tions from 1,400 southern bankers and
phis to assist in financing cotton to be held in American warehouses for
export within a year. This loan is considered absolutely safe business and helpful in promoting the orderly marketing of the crop in the territory in which this cotton is grown. "Please Get Busy."
