Artists were eager, to paint her nlcture as the most perfect type of American wuimiiinood. u miner ie .Mumm wns noted not only ns a millionn re wine mercl.nnt but also ns a sportsman, nviator, bal loonist nnd globe trotter. Following a brief courtship and en gagement, their marriage wns solem nized in London, June 2, 1013. It wns one of the notable social events of the season nnd attracted international at tention. The interest in the match was heightened by the dramatic incident which occurred a few mouths before in Paris, when De Mumm was twice wounded by Mrs. Marie Van Rensimer Barnes, an American woman. Rut the marriage proved a failure. At the outbreak of the world war, the sym pathies of the couple clashed and they separated. Mrs. De Mumm took up her residence in Switzerland, after her big country estate on the Marne had been overrun nnd destroyed by tho Oermnn invaders. Her husband, true to the traditions of his fatherland, joined the stnff of Field Mnrahni .. Hindenburg, to fight for his kaiser For acts of bravery in action in Helgiuin in- -, uwiiriien me iron Cross. Under the terms of the treaty of penca, the French Government will sell the vast De Mumm properties in France from which Mrs. De Mumm has been re ceiving large sums under the separa tion agreement with her husband, to pay the claims of French citizens against Germany. If she can regain her American citi zenship, she can claim the property in France under her own right, but if Congress foils to act before the Ficnch Government disposes of the Dp Mumm propertj, she will lose all her rights to the vast vineyards. Mrs. Dp Mumm returned to the United States two weeks ago. and is living nt Newport, R. I., awaiting the outcome of her rnce for millions.

NORTH PHI ASSETS Chief Prober of Wrecked Bank Says Experts Have Nearly Completed List STRANG OCCUPIES CELL Assets of the wrecked North Tenn Bank will be made public within a few days. This announcement, for which deposi tors have waited eagerly since the in stitution failed, was made today by Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey, In charge of the bank investigation. Colonel Tusey said his investigators had been buB.v since last Thursday com piling the list of nssets, and now had them virtually completed. Colonel Pusey made no forecast as to the amount of the assets or the propor tion of depositors' money which would be saved. William Morgan Montgomery, the at torney representing Ralph T. Moycr, accused cashier of the bank, said today thnt his client would benefit by the ar rest of Elwood II. Strang, who is now nn inmate of a cell in Moyamenslng, while he waits for some one to put up $35,000 ball for hU? release. Pleased at Arrest "The return of the $365,000 in checks found on Strang," said Mr. Montgomery, "will relieve my client o the charge of taking or destroying these checks." Mr. Montgomery denied thnt he had been the go-between in the return of Strang to Philadelphia. The former teller, in Moyamenslng under the heaviest bail bond imposed on any of the men connected with the failure of the North Penn Bank, prob ably will be interrogated again today by District Attorney Rotan and his assistants. Following his arrest, and before his arraignment in pollcp court nnd the fix ing of his bail, Strang is known to have given valuable information to the authorities. The nrrest of a man who has figured as one of the "men higher up" in the bank smnsh is looked for in the near future. Three other warrants art in course of preparation, it is said, for the arrpst of others declared to bo 1m plicated. Some Surprises Promised This, the sixth week since the doors of the North Tenn Bank were ordered closed by Banking Commissioner John S. Fisher, promises to develop sonic "surprises." Strnng, on a .$.1ii weekly salary, man aged to marry tw'o women, buy ex pensive homes, sport expensive clothes, diamonds and motorcars, is declared al ready to show the effects of his brief confinement in Moynmensing. The coarse food, principally bread and beans, does not appeal to his epicurean tastes, and the fact that lip has found it impossible to obtnin the $35,000 bait that would give him his temporary free dom, is said to have made him moody and despondent. Gordon Promises Arrests Asslstnnt District Attorney Gordon Is authority for the statement thnt ad ditional arrests will be made this week. Asked whether any move was contem plated to bring James J. Boland, of New York and Scranton, a large debtor to the bank, here, Mr. Gordon was si lent. He said that he did not feel he cared, at this time, to discuss future plans.
