McCormick of Chicago. Mr. Cochrane and the singer were married secretly in Paris in 1920. The wedding was a great surprise on both sides of the Atlantic for Mr. Cochrane the former “most eligible bachelor,” had begome known as a “confirmed blchelcr." In less than a year there were rumors that the romance had been shattered, with stories of prospec- tive divorce suits by both. The pro- ceedings finally were instituted by Mr. Cochrane and he was granted a @ecree by the Paris courts in June 1923. The grounds upon which the divorce was granted were not made | known definitely, nor was the finan- cial settlement made by Mr. Coch- rane to the singer. ‘War Messages In November, 1914, Mr. Cochrane. | on his own initiative, went to Eu- rope to make a personal investiga- tion of the needs of the distressed ypopulation of Belglum. While in | London he learned of the difficulties ot the American diplomatic service in transmitting offical messages be- tween the British and German capi- | tals. With the two countries at war | it was necessary for the American ambassadors to depend upon occa- sional travelers whom they could trust to carry messages. Mr. Coch- rane volunteered for the service and ‘wag placed on the payroll as a cour- fer at a small sAlary. The British government in 1917, before the United States severed diplomatic relations with Germany, offered Mr. Cochrane a commission, which he accepted. He was imme- diately placed in command of the ‘Warrior, formerly one of the larg- est and finest steam yachts in America which he had presented to the British government. Mr. Cochrane was about 53 years old.

The proprietor informed him that he could not cash the check but that he would take it to the Bristol Trust Co. to see if they would honor it. Philip Rouleau, a teller at the bank, to whom Blancos show- ed the check, recognized it as being similar to the one cashed by his bank a few days before. He left his cage and hurried to police head- quarters, where he imparted the in- fromation to the police, and, as a result, Jones was taken into custody. He admitted his guilt after & con- siderable amount of questioning. It later developed that he had also cashed a check for $10 at the Outlet Clothing Co. on North Main street after tendering the worthless piece of paper in payment for some arti- cle bought. The youth's parents were in court this morning and prior to that time had made restitution in both cases. At the end of the court session, Jones was rearrested for the Hart. ford authorities, who, it is under- stood, want him for similar activi- ties. Case of Corbett Nolled A similar charge of obtaining money by the issuance of a check with insufficient funds in the bank was nolled against Morris Corbett of 101 Myrtle street, New Britain. He was arrested in New Britain Wed- nesday afternoon by Detective Ser- geant George C. Ellinger and was brought back to this city by De-. tective Sergeant Daniel McGillicud- dy.

Paul Lindemann, 8t. Paul, edi- tor of the Lutheran American. The growing economic indepead- ence of women was ascribed by Rev. Martin Walker of Buffalo, os the outstarcing external factor in the decreased marriage rate and the increased divorce rate. “The chief factor is the loss of religion,” he sald, In remedying conditions, Rev.
