SHUMAKER EXCHANGED WIVES
WITH RICH MEXICAN PLANTER,
ASSERT INSURANCE COMPANIES
Pittsburg, May 22.—The case of Ella
H. Schumaker against the Preferred
Accident Insurance Company, of New
York, Is pending In the United States
•ourt for the collection of life lnsur-
ince for the death of her husband.
According to attorneys for the com
panies, attempts have been made by
Mrs. Shumaker to settle the cases out
side the courts, but the companies re
fused to entertain such a proposition.
It Is declared that the attempt at
settlement was prompted by reports
that the insurance companies would In
troduce testimony of a startling char
acter, which will drag In tho names of
some prominent people.
The companies will also attempt to
prove that Ella Heffllck was never le
gally married to Shumaker, and that
tho latter did not meet with accidental
death, but committed suicide.
During the past few months, It Is re
ported, an attorney has been In Pitts
burg to procure positive confirmation
of the death of Shumaker. This attor-■ -
ney, It Is said, represented a wealthy son as a witness.
Mexican planter, with whom Shu
maker, It la alleged, exchanged wives
several years ago.
The first wife of Shumaker, It Is said,
was a St. Louts girl, who was taken
to the City of Mexico by Shumaker.
There, It Is alleged, the Mexican plant
er fell In love with her, and Shumaker
fell In love with the planter’s wife. It
Is claimed that, although they traded
wives, Shumaker did not take the trou
ble to get a divorce.
The object of the Mexican In send
ing an attorney hero was to get posi
tive proof that Shumaker was killed,
so that he could legally marry his first
wife. If Shumaker was never divorced
from his first wife, as the Insurance
companies will attempt to prove, then
his marriage to Ella Heffllck was Ille
gal.
These are only a few of many start
ling nllegntlons which are expected to
be brought out at the trial. It Is said
that affidavits will be produced- from
the Mexicans, and It may be that at
least one of them will appear In per-

Berlin.
The smoke house prison In which the
girl was kept was 6 by 8 feet In size,
with but one window, which had been
painted over to prevent the girl from
being observed 'by strangers who
might be about the premises.
When food was given the prisoner It
was thrown In on the floor. The rescu
ing.party was composed of the most
prominent citizens of Berlin. George
Heffley, the father, was arrested and

Fraud Is Charged .
To Big Concern
Philadelphia, May 22 —Two receivers
were appointed today for the Standard
Title and Truat Company. The court
acted upon complaint of stockholders
who declare they were defrauded. It la
said criminal proceedings will follow.
It Is said that more than a million dol
lars has been obtained from the sale
of stock In Chicago. Philadelphia, New
York and in small towns East and
West. • ■
There has been a mystery about the
Standard Title and Trust Company for
weeks. Its officers are all out-of-town
men. The Hat of officers as shown on
the stationery contains names which
have been used without even the
knowledge or consent of the owners.
This is the case with at least one of the
directors.
The reputed list la as follows:
President, 8. K. Ford, Chicago: first
vice president, H. Cohn. New York:
second vice president, E. A. Heffner,
Cincinnati: treasurer. H. F. Aspinwatl,
Freeport, I1L . . .. .
The concern made Its debut on l eb-
ruary 6, when the city waa flooded
with circulars stating: "We have pur
chased the exquisite banking house at
71* Chestnut street and have a capital
and surplus of 11,800,000, of which II,-
200,000 la paid In. The par value of the
stock Is $2S. and it has been sold to
subscribers'-at IIS.”

mained over to, attend the meeting of
the grand lodge today.
I-ost night’s feature was a reception
and dance by the local Rebekahs to the
delegatee, both ladles and gentlemen,
and was an enjoyable affair all the way
through.
The Rebekaha of the various lodges
of the state are here In force. There Is
naturally the keenest Interest In the
Rebekah degreo contests, which will

night, with the following teams In at
tendance: Clara Rebekah lodge, N°. 22,
of Atlanta: Woodlawn Rebekah lodge.
No. 21, of Augusta, and Miriam Re
bekah lodge, No. 7, of Columbus.
Some of ,the decorations are unique
as well as beautiful, and a sign at the
city hall, devised by Captfln Wiley
Williams, chief of police, cordially ex
tending the. hospitality of the police
station to the Odd Fellows, tickled the
sense of humor of the visitors.
The grand lodge was escorted
through the streets of Columbus this
morning by the local lodges to the city
hall.
A feature of today's exercises will
be the conferring of the third degree at
8 o'clock at night by Barnes lodge, No.
85, degree team of Atlanta.
The annual session of the grand as
sembly of Rebekahs began this morn
ing at 10 o'clock at the Masonic ball.
A roll call of the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows of Georgia showed 475
representatives, the largest number In
the history of the order In the stale.
The meeting wae preceded by a pa
rade to the hall. Fully 400 were In line,
with alxteen carriage* of Rebekahs.
A business' session waa held at 11
o'clock.
AUTO TOUR SHOWS
Committee Completes Visits
to Outlying Districts
of City.
That many citizens of the surround
Ing municipalities are willing and anx
ious to become a part of Greater Atlan
ta waa learned first hand by the execu
tlve committee oh city .extension Tues
day.
The committee completed the tour of
the surrounding municipalities and
communities In automobiles Tuesday.
In every Section the members were
treated cordially.
The party left at 11 o'clock In four
automobiles, owned by John W. Grant,
Charles Johnson, James R. Gray and
Asa G. Candler, Jr.

lantn, where the sentiment of the com
munity Is said to be practically unani
mous for annexation. From here the
autos sped to Pittsburg, to Browns
ville. to Edgewood, Kirkwood and De
catur. The party returned by way of
Ponce DeLeon.
Alt of the municipalities were found
to be more developed and more thickly
populated than most members of the
committee had thought.

ta Is now ready to deal with the com
mlttees appointed by the auburba to
represent them In the negotiations for
annexation.

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
Gains 12 lbs. on Change of Food.
When a change In food can rebuild a
man 77 yeara of age. It Is evidence that
there Is some value In a knowledge that
can discriminate In the selection of
proper food to rebuild the body. A few
months ago the physician attending a
man 77 year* old, told him that death
from old age would soon claim him.
He suffered from general weakness and
debility.
An old lady advised him to quit cof
fee. drink Postum Food Coffee and eat
Grape-Nuts food every morning. He
took the advice, and has gamed 12
pound*. Say* he I* as well as he ever
was. and can taka long trips In the
mountains, which he had been unable
to do for ir long time.
There Is a reason for this; In the
first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve
destroyer on many highly organized
people, both young and old, and many
people haven’t the knowledge to select
nourishing, healthful, rebuilding food.
Both Postum Food Coffee and Grape-
Nuts food are made from selected parts
of the field grains that contain delicate
particles of phosphate of potaah and
albumen. These two element* combine
In the human body to quickly rebuild
the gray matter In the brain and In
the nerve centers throughout the body.
Direct, sure, and certain results comr
from their use and can be proved by
any person that cares to make the trial.
