KRRSGE CHAIN STORES
OWNER SUED BY WIFE
Millionaire Merchant Alleged to Have Of
fered 6W Fortune to Become Wife.
New ifork, June 22.—Alleging that her
husband promised her 17,500 shares of
stock worth $7,095,000 if she would mar
ry hup. but gave her instead a cheap plush
<iog from one of his stores. Mrs. Doris
Mercer Kresge today entered suit for the
stock in Supreme court against Sebas
tion S. Kresge, former 'tinware salesman
i Who became the millionaire owner of a
(dhain of five and ten cent stores.
Hie plaintiff is Kresge's second wife,
and her suit is the second legal difficulty
into which his marriages have brought
him. A little more than a year ago his
first wife divorced him in Detroit in the
record time of 10 miqntes. The 57-vear
old capitalist married the second Mrs.
IKresge. who is 32, a few minutes after
divorce was granted.
> f Mrs. Kresge in her suit asserts that
before her ma triage Kresge promised to
give hewjJO.OOO shares in his five and ten
cent stores on their wedding day if she
would marry ban She accepted him, she
said, and received from him 2.500 shares
of the stock before tjm marriage.
On the wedding day, 24. 1024.
she said, Kresge came to her f'ark Ave
nue apartment for the wedding, bringing
no stock, but two lawyers and a contract.
By this contract she was to receive only
an additional 2,500 shares of stock, in
stead of 17.50t> and was in return to
waive her dower rights. She signed the
paper but now says she did so because ,
Kresge “took advantage of the situation."
After the .marriage, her attorneys said,
Kresge kept putting her off when she
asked for the stock, but finally Agreed To

confirmed reports from New York this
week.
The story of Smith's intention to cnier

to write political news stories.
The World reported that no arrange
ments yet had been made with Smith.
Close friends of Smith, however, indi
cate that the governor is very anxious
to retire from the political arena. s

NOBODY LOVES YOU
It is impossible to get anywhere if you

successful you must have a kindly, lov
able disposition. You can not have this

They don't go together. Mayr's Wonder
ful Remedy has given complete and per
manent results iu thousands of such
cases. Our advice to everyone troubled
in this way, especially when accompanied
with bloating in the stomach, is to try
this remedy. It is a simple, harmless
preparation that removes the catarrhal
mucus from the intestiual tract and al

Some Accidental Hangings.'
While "showing off” before liis
oompainns, Theodore Bray. 15. of

rope around his neck from a trniteze.

He put his head in a loop formed for a
hand grip. When a companion ran into
a near-by school and said. "Johnnie
looks as if he was choking." men rushed
,to the scene John's knees were dragging
on the ground. The* lad died soon after
wards.
A scarf worn by James Dress, three

ing to release himself he fell suspend-d

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
I MACCABEES’ ENTERTAINMENT
: | DISCUSSED AT CHAMBER MEET
to Be Throw* Open to Fraternal
>1 Organization on Its Visit Here July
14KK
1 1 Plans for the entertainment of the
> Macs bees, who wiff stop their caravan
' in Concord for a day on' their way to
. Washington, were and formu
lated Tuesday night at the regular raeet
! ■ ing of the board of doctors of the Cham
> her of Commerce.
I Clarence Keuster,; Charlotte secretary ]
i of the Chamber of OtUamerce, spent Toes- ]
day afternoon in conference with Mr. |
Blanks here detailing the plans which had j
been made for the entertainment of the !
fraternal body when it visits North Car- !
olina and arranging the details of their ]
entertainment for presentation to the I
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night, j
A committee contesting of Dr. T. N. j
Spencer, Charles B, Wagoner. A. B. ]
Pounds and Maury was tp- j
pointed at the meeting to have charge of ]
the program for the and. figura- I
tively speaking, to ktuid the keys of the ||
city to them on their scheduled vi»it, ;
June 14th.
As the plans call for at' the present :
the huge motorcade* of several :
thousand ears, will reach Concord short- j
]y before lunch. During the morning ]
they will have been entertained at a pa- ]
rade of all the fraternal organizations of j
Charlotte and as sohn as this com- ;
piled, they will journey to Concord. j
Ail the resources of the city are to be i
used for the occasion As it iR not j
often that four thousand persons drop in j
Concord for lunch, all cases, eating j
houses, church counters and even private •
homes will have to be opened son the j
occasion. It is not a charity affair. J
The visitors are expecting to pay for their j
meals here. :
After (titling, the Maccabees, together j
with as many of the Concord people who •
can do so, will repair to the fair grounds {
where an athletic meet will be staged for j
the diversion of the travelers and the ;
home folks. Track events will be held \
and afterward a baseball game between 1
the Maccabees and a local team. Stunt ;
1 events will also be arranged.
Toward the evening, when all is over, :
part of the motorcade will return to ■
Charlotte where the night will be spent, j
Others will remain-in Concord. On the ;
' next day the line of cars will move on ■
to Raleigh which is to be the next stop, j
Concord is considered very fortunate :
to be able to attract such a large body :
of motorists. The fact that the fair S
grounds offer an excellent place for the i
entertainment is. perhaps, one of the ;
reasons for the Rtop ■of the Maccabees. ■
The only other cities, they stop between •
Atlanta and Washingron are Spartan- j
bm;g. Charlotte. Raleigh and Richmond, g
The motorcade is pne of the five lines |
which will be headed for Washington |
where the national. meet of this fraternal -
organization is to bejjield. 3
