It is estimated that the

were
lost. An unusual figure is the
one

So
me
thing
n
w
i
n
the case of
the strange
inheritance
left by big Bil~ Thomvson, one time Mayor
of Chicago. Big Bill
was
known to have been
well
off,
and it was beli ved th this estate would aaount to
about a
hundred
and
fifty thousand dollars. Then the
sensation, when they opened his safe deposit boxes,
aad
found
a million
and
a half
dollars in cash, huge
stacks of twenty dollar, fifty c::lollar, hundred dollar
and thousand
dollar
bills.
His
idow,
who
was present
at the safe deposit box Opening
keeled
over in a faint.
So
what proceeded
to
happen?
The usual thing
all sorts of peopie putting in claims.
One woman in
Canada
said she
thought she might be Big Bill's
daughter, anl asked for two hundred thousand. Another
Canadian
rote:
•His
story has l
e
d me to
believe that
he
must
be rel
a
ted to
my Uncles and Aunts of the
great Thompson r

ce of Ireland.
None of then, the
claimant explained, would make
a
ill,
and altf

An
od
d
t
ist
of politics hit the
news
today,
a cam
p
aign
complication
in
Texas -
electioneering
tangled
with
mar
ri
age.
In the Twelfth Texas District,
a candid
te for Con
g
res
s
is O.
A.
Cole,
a
orker in a
ar pant. And today he was in court asking for an
injunction to
p
revent
his
ife from running
against
him.
It
seems
th
a
t
wifie
has congressional aspiratio
s,
as
well as hubby.
So she has entered the race as his
opponent. To this he objects, and points out that in
the ceremony of marriage she promised to love, honor
and obey. And
what
kind of obedience was this?
Today the Jud
g
e handed down a decision in
the following
words:-
•No man; decl
a
red his honor,
•can
sue his wife
to
make
hefbey him - or keep her
xsz ■a■
from running against him for
political
office.•
So
that
ould
s
eem to be that, and wifie will
goon running ag
ai
nst hubby for Congress. He no doubt
is mutt ring sardonically
under his
breath
- love,
- d L ~ ~ J ~
honor and obey!

The German radio states that he has 1 ft the Turkish
capital, and

going,
Von Papen burned
his
diplomatic papers, destroying
masses of confidential documents. lhis is a usual
preliminary

At the
