David yesterday took authority to annul the marriage of Louis Leon, 61. Leon told the court he was a des- cendant of Aaron, brother of Mores, and the first high priest. Under Jewish orthodoxy he is a “cohn,” a title inherited by all male descend- ants of Aaron. As such, he told the court, he is governed by the special laws of his faith concerning priests, though by profession he is a tailor. Through his marriage to Mrs. Rose Davis, 50, a widow and a di- vorced woman, he lost his title, was barred from worship and forfeited the privilege of burial in hallowed ground—a crushing decree for an orthodox Jew, he explained. It was not until after his marriage last February, he said, that he learn- ed she had been twice married before, her first husband dying, her second having been divorced. Thus, he told Judge David, he had twice violated the Mosaic law as laid down in Leviticus: “A widow, or a divorced woman ++ these shall he ‘not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.” Seeking relief in Illinois statutes, Leon was beaten to court by his wife, who sought separate maintenance. Leon’s attorney countered with a suit for divorce, basing his petition solely on the ancient Hebraic law. He pro- duced witnesses and records to sub- stantiate Leon’s claims. Judge David delayed decision un- til he had time to consult several Prominent rabbis. They agreed that uner Jewish law Leon had forfeited his rights of worship. “I will not bring shame on the tribe of Aaron,” Judge David said. “Though under the laws of this state you have almost no claims, I will sign the order.” here in mid-afternoon. The Graf Zeppelin, beating its way eastward on the fourth and last lap of a flight around the world, was awaited some time later. A reception outdoing any yet seen at the races was planned for the ar- rival of the two giant craft. The event broke into a schedule of races for the day which included ar- rival of two cross-country derbies, 9 number of closed course events, glider contests, a sham battle by army pursuit squadrons, and national para- chute jumping contests. Kansas City, Aug. 28.—(*)—Speed- ing eastward on the final lap of its earth-girdling journey, the Graf Zeppelin passed over Kansas City shortly before 10 a. m. C. 8. T., today and headed for Chicago. Circles City 11 Minutes After circling the city for 11 min- utes while virtually the entire popu- Jation turned out to gaze with awe at the giant air visitor, the dirigible headed northeast and disappeared in- to the low-hanging clouds. Apparently Captain Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, had set a course direct for Chicago, which would carry the ship northeast through Missouri, across part of Iowa and into Illinois. Original plans had called for a flight directly across Missouri by way of Jefferson City and St. Louis. Efforts to get in touch with the Graf by radio here to obtain definite information on the route were unsuc- Heads for Chicago Reports after the Graf Zeppelin de- parted from Kansas City confirmed the belief that Captain Eckener was steering in a bee line for Chicago in an effort to make up time lost in the pamens from Los Angeles to Kansas y. - The dirigible was sighted three miles east of Liberty, Mo., north of here at 10:05.

State's Attorney C. P.

In the state's charge against Turney lit is intimated that Turney in taking Mr. Pfeifer's car when the latter was not looking, not only committed a breach of etiquette, but also was iguilty of grand larceny—and the; stealing of an automobile under the laws of this state is no light offense.

W. H. Settle of Indian- apolis, chairman of the committee of 16, announced at noon that the sub- committee will be sent back to re- draft the plan. It is not expected to report again until tomorrow. Practically all of the meeting today was devoted to discussion of the sub- committee's report and objections to details embodied in their plan. A subcommittee of three sat up most of last night drafting plans to be submitted today. The committee consisted of C. E. Hough, of Salina, Kan., national president of the Farmers’ Union, chairman; 8.

The farmers’ national grain core Poration was proposed by the federal farm board when it met with repre- sentatives of cooperative groups from all over the country last July, the ob- ject being to create a clearing house through which the farm board might make supplemental loans to farmers for marketing grain.
