Grand Jury to
Probe Acts of
U. S. Officials
Will Consider Not Only Brib
ery Charges on 2 Solons But
Also Suggestions of Wrong
Doing at Capital.
By AnorMrd PraM. *'
Washington, March 5.—Not only
the charges against two members of
congress, but evidence relating to
oilier suggestions of wrong doing by
officials in Washington will be laid
•before a federal grand jury here
immediately.
White House officials said today
that all phases of evidence adduced
recently hy the Chicg,go jury and not
passed on there because of lack of
judisdlction would be gone into by a
grand Jury here.
The subjects expected to come
under Inquiry involve charges that
one or more high officials used of
fieial information for purposes of
speculation; that liquor permits were
wrongly procured through use of
money; and that official government
files were turner’ over to persons not
entitled to tliem.
For the present no official will dis
cuss details of these charges nor dis
close in what direction the Inquiry
may lead. The development has cre
ated a stir in official circles, however,
second only to that which followed
the oil disclosures.
President Coolidge announced last
night that the charges against the
two members of the house, Involving
acceptance of money in connection with
the release of federal prisoners, would
be thoroughly Investigated by a grand
jury. Prior to that the senate vet
erans’ committee had held two ses
sions to consider the charges, and a
resolution for an investigation had
been introduced in the house.
John W. H. Crlm, who was in
charge of the Chicago investigation,
has conferred with members of both
senate and house, hut he has declined
to furnish them the names of those
involved or any details, taking the
position that the evidence requires
further development before any of It
can lie divulged. It was developed
incidentally at Chicago, In connection
with the veterans’ bureau Inquiry that
resulted in the indictment of Charles
R. Forbes.
Mr. Crim also has reported the facts
to the White House, leaving to Presi
dent Coolidge the decision as to what
• action should lie taken. Today's an
nouncement was interpreted as an in
dication that the executive was pre
pared to demand a complete sifting of
the evidence, regardless of who might
be involved.
The investigation resolution intro
duced yesterday in the house by
Democratic Reader Garrett was re
ferred to the rules committee, but
Chairman Snell sqid today that no
action would be taken on it for the
present. He reached this decision
after R conference with Mr. Crim,

Suspicion Enemy to
All Happiness
Dear Miss Allen: About one year
ago X met a man with whom I fell in
love at first sight. I am 20 and he is
about 15 years my senior.
At first my parents objected to my
going with him, but after a while
things straightened out.
I knew him for some time when
I went on ray vacation with him.
He treated me with the greatest re
spect and care.
When I came home from my va
cation my parents started to nag
me to give him up, as he was too
old for me. I was at a loss to know
what to do. We had a quarrel and
I left him.
I have not seen him now for over
six months, although he continues
to call me up and write.
I am sure he loves me, and I feel
the same toward him.
Do you think he really wants me
because he loves me, or does he want
me to go about with him again just
to spite my family and then forsake
me? ANXIOUS.
What causes your ugly suspicion?
Why should this man want to win
your love again merely In order to
spite your people, and once having
won It, why should he cast It aside?
Don't be so melodramatic. You need
not go searching around for all sorta
of hidden motives. The man hag
shown a high type of regard for you,
and has persisted In trying to win
you in spite of all sorts of discourage
ment. If your faith In him and your
loyalty to love is great enough you
can undoubtedly overrule yonr par
ents’ objections, which are. after all,
baaed on nothing but a matter of a
few years. If the man were eight
or 10 years older than you his age
would be regarded favorably. Four or
five more years do not add much to
the difference In your ages. What
Is st stake is your own sanity ami
devotion and depth of feeling. Only
you can measure and test them.
Dear Miss Allen: I have noticed
that many little gifts sold In the
stores are accompanied bv a rhyme.
Pould you suggest a way to reach
the manufacturers who use these
rhymes, or those who publish the nu
merous greeting cards? Klncerely
yours, • PERPLEXED.
In answer to your requeet for
rhymes accompanying glfte. 1 do not
know where you could sell your
rhymes but I do know there is a fair
ly good market at present for such
stuff. I would advise you to write
to the Omaha Printing company.

Morrie Schlaifer, Omaha Pugilist, Sued for Divorce;
Wife Says He I^as Home Only Two flights in Six Months
Extreme Cruelty Charged by
Mate, Who Admits Blows
“Close to Pugilism/’
Mprrle Sehlaifer, a pugilist, known
as Omaha’s "fighting fool,” was sued
for divorce "Wednesday in district
court by his wife, Hazel, who alleges
extreme cruelty throughout their
married life of four yean.
She suffered "physical and/ mental
pain and anguish." according to the
petition, filed by her attorney, Irvin
Stalmaster.
The direct cause which led to the
suit is that after his fight at the city
Auditorium last Friday night, Morrie
did not return to their home in the
Majestic apartments but went to Nor
folk, Neb., where he was second in a
prize fight.
Returned in Four Days.
When he returned, four days later,
an altercation ensued in which, it is
said, he slapped Mrs. Sehlaifer.
^hey were married in Chicago Feb
ruary, 2ft, 1920, at the home of Ike
Bernstein, who was then Sehlaifer’*
manager. Until recently they lived
at 923 South Thirty-third street.
"Did you marry him for love?" Mrs.
Sehlaifer was asked this morning.
"No, I think it was sympathy,” she
said.
“Did ho need sympathy?”
"It certainly looked like it to me.
He was just about down and out."
"How long has ha treated you
cruelly?”
"Just about all the time."
"Dkl he practice pugilism on you?”
"Sometimes it came very close to
that.”
The petition says Sehlaifer earns
upward of $10,000 a year. Hearing for
temporary alimony has been set for
next Tuesday at 9.
Without Funds
Mrs. Schlaifer says she is without
funds, in spite of the large income
of her husband. His earnings from
last Friday's fight alone are estimated
at more than $2,000. She said he
has not paid the installments on their
furniture for- two months.
Mrs. Schlaifer was divorced from
her first husband and has a young
child.
Summons in the case was rushed
through because Schlaifer is scheduled
to leave tomorrow with his manager
on a schedule of prize fights in the
east.
Gas Plant Options Taken.
Options on about 40 pieces of Prop
erty between Twentieth and Twenty
first streets from Dorcas street north
to the gas plant, have been ohtained
by the Metropolitan Utilities district.
Members of the board declined to say
Tuesday to what purpose the land
may be put if It is acquired.
■■■II ■ I II ..— -
Morrie and Ha/el Schlaifer.
Hazel Schlaifer’s Story:
“We have lived In this apartment,
six months, and Morrie has been home
just two nights."
Seated in the comfortably furnished
living room of her suite at the Ma
jestic, Mrs. Hazel Sehlalfer, wife of
Morrie Schlaifer, Omaha pugilist,, set
forth at length the domestic Infelici
ties which caused her to sue her hus
bund for divorce this morning.
“When I say two nights, I mean
two nights," she emphasized.
"Why, after every fight, I’ve had
to hire taxicabs to help find him.
These leeches that sponge off of him
keep him spending his money in road
houses around Omaha. Instead of
coming home, that's where he would
go.
"Morrie isn't a bad fellow. Tes, I
still love him, I suppose, even now.
But it was the road houses and the
gang and other women that wrecked
my home.
“He met a woman here in Omaha
while I was in the hospital. I didn’t

Judge Enters Contract With 78-Y ear-Old Bridegroom
He Recently Adjudged to Be Mentally Incompetent
□EVI KEISER, 71-yearold bride
groom. baa eigned a. contract
with the Judge who declared him
incompetent a few weeks ago. It was
admitted by Judge G. N. Parmenter
of Wahoo Wednesday. The contract
was entered into at the time Kaiser's
appeal bond was raised.
The contract, as completed and
signed by Keiser and the Judge reg
ulates the handling of the trust fund
which the Judge insisted must he es
tablished during the wait for the de
cision of the higher court.
Mortgages in Trust.
Judge Parmenter sent for Keiser
several days ago when objections to
the size of the appeal bonds for
Keiser were made. Kelso Morgan,
chief counsel for the defense in the
trial, feared a prohibitive bond and
asked that the bond be made $3,000
on condition that all mortgages held
by Keiser be placed in trust.
Both the Judge and Kelser agreed
to this and the judge suggested that
a contract be drawn up between
Keiser and the court.
The contract as first framed stipu
lated that all of these mortgages )>e
placed in trust in the hands of G. H.
Hanson. Wahoo hanker. The docu

Morrie fought Jones here, he made

"He only came home in the after

and demanded a divorce.
"I've stood for things that no wo
man would stand for. He hasn't a
thing on me. It* just the other
women that have been kidding him.”
Mrs. Schlaifer Intimated that Mor
rie wanted a divorce In order to mar
ry another woman.
She said she has seen her husband
but once since his fight last week.
Now she plans to move to Denver.

ment was handed to Keiser, who read,
it over carefully.
Keiser Demands Chances.
“I won't sign this as it is," ha de
dared when he finished reading it.
“There are acveral additions that
must be made first."
The court agreed to the additions
and the contract as signed contains
the additional stipulations that the
trust fund will be handled without
cost to Keiser. that all mortgages
and notes held in trust and falling
due through failure to pay interest
or taxes will be foreclosed only by
Keiser. and that all agreements or
renewals of the mortgages and notes
will be made by Keiser.
In the contract the banker merely
is holder of the mortgages and notes.
Keiser continues to receive his in
come of $9 a day and escapes the
cost of a safe deposit box in which
to keep the papers.
Keiser. in the opinion of the court,
is incompetent and unable to handle
his own affairs.

Federal Judge Woodrough will open
