NEUMONIA ‘all a physician, Then begin “emergency” treatment with Two Modern Treasure Hunters Who Seek Wealth in courts. Glenn Bol!s, Mechanic, at Work. BY ROY GIBBONS Chicago April 13—Two modern-day treasure hunters are laying plans here today for a twentieth-certtury quest of vast fortunes. They hope to gain $160,000,000. They will not charter an antique sailing, vessel and cruise in the South ea. They will not comb sailors’ retreats for an aged salt possessing yellowed charts inscribed with cipher sym- bols. 6 e; Instead, in these modern quests, the qoral reef will give way to the judge’s bench and the “sailors” will be alert attorneys with brief cases as their “duffle-bags.” ‘The two quests will be carried out independently—indeed the two treas- ure hunters may not even know each other. For one is an attractive young ac- tress while the other is a Chicago me- chanic. But both will stake their all in a gamble to secure wealth. nee WEDGEWOOD CASE “Billle’ Wedgewood, former Boston and Newport society girl and now an actress, is studying law in the wings between acts.
