Dempsey filed suit Monday in Re- no, Nevada, charging mental cruelty. Soon after Miss Taylor heard of his action, she instructed her ‘attorneys to file for a divorce here, also charg- ing cruelty. ae | With Nevada divorce laws not re- quiring details of charges on which divorces are sought, particulars of Dempsey’s petition were not availabe. In Miss Taylor's complaint, drawn up Monday night and signed by her, she made general charges of cruelty and referred to the expensive automobile which she recently said was taken from her chauffeur by Joe Dempsey, brother of Jack, who gave her the car as @ present. The complaint will charge Dempsey “for a long time prior to the date of separation has been guilty of extreme cruelty in his conduct toward the Plaintiff in that he has wrongfully inflicted upon plaintiff grievous men- tal.pain and suffering without justi- fication or excuse.” Miss Taylor discussed the negotia- tions for @ property settlement which until Monday were said by attorneys to have been holding up the separa- tion suit. It was Jack’s fault, she said—his “display of temperament”— when her attorney insisted he post collateral to guarantee payments to her of $1,000 @ month for three years and four months. “It was such a little thing that I insisted upon,” she said. “A property t had been reached, and it , to complete payments on automobile and to pay attorney The. few thousand dollars that would be left would keep up the house for s year or Jess, until I could sell it. “Jack agreed to that, but when my In Flood-Torn China|siew up snd all our nepot ea ‘As One Chief to Coos Asks Pardon for Tribeswoman z i i i 3 eee Efe ting for Better Weather ESTELLE TAYLOR on the rocks.

Cabinet members and agency chiefs have submitted to the bureau of the budget reports on the amount of money remaining from appropriations for preceding years and for the pres- ent fiscal year along with estimates of current needs. In making these reports, govern: ment officials are carrying out Hoo- ver's request to reduce expenditures in view of the declining federal rev- enues and the large treasury deficit. The reports are to be studied by Director Roop of the budget before being sent to Hoover. They are be- ing compiled as rapidly as possible in an effort to determine how far ex- penditures are running ahead of treasury receipts. President Hoover warned in his July letter that expenditures were greater during the first few days of the new fiscal year than those of last year, when a total of $4,219,950,000 was expended. He had expected $150,000,000 would be saved as a re- sult of his conferences with depart- ment heads, but noted that as a re- sult of increased appropriations heavy demands were being made on the treasury. Impressing the officials with the urgent need for economy, Mr. Hoover told them the government's financial situation was serious. The government ended the fiscal year July with 1 with $903,000,000 treasury deficit. In the six weeks since then a new deficit of $340,391,- 153 has materialized. It represents cess of expenditures for the same pe- tiod last year. election. Plan New Building For Custom’s Men Grand Forks, Aug. 12—P}—C. B.
