Death once more tears the veil
of obscurltv from the Dast and
leaves a Salem widow facing the
claim or another woman, that she
too, is a widow of the deceased
husband. '
This revelation came to Mrs.
Georgiana K.i Heldecke. widow of
the late John A. W. Heldecke
through a contest of will filed in
probate court by Alice Christiana
Heldecke and two daughters
against the disposition of the es
tate of John A. W. Heldecke.
The contestant aDDarentlv was
married to Heldecke In 1883 and
claims no ..divorce was obtained.
He later married the present Mrs.
Heldecke in 1899 and she knew
nothing of the affair until the
win was contested.
The Oregon woman claims that
Heldecke deeded 74 acres of land
to someone In Pennsylvania some
time ago and this in turn was
deeded to Alice Christiana Hel
decke as full and complete settle
ment of any and all claims she
might have against him. This
settlement the second Mrs. Hel
decke claims should act a an es
toppel from claiming anything
more under the will.
, Heldecke was an invalid for
many years and during this time
the present Mrs. Heldecke cared
for him. Durlpg the time of their
married life much of the accumu
lation of property left at his
death, was due to the efforts of
herself, and that other of the
property was hers In her own
right, Mrs. Heldecke claims In the
answer filed to the contest claims
of Alice Christiana Heldecke.
The amount of the estate Is
$8000.

II HIM MEET
Charles F. Walker was the
speaker at the noon luncheon
meeting of the Salem Rotary
club yesterday. He is a past dis
trict governor of Kiwanls, and he
conducts the Northwestern School
of Commerce, of Portland.
He talked about the outlook for
1932, repeating part of a New
Year address to a crowd of stu
dents. He said we all climb to suc
cess over the backs of each other;
related the story of a recent sur
vey by the Carnegie foundation
in which 10,000 answers were
given on the elements of success
in life. The main points checked
upon related to skill and training
and the totals attributed 15 per
cent to skill and 85 per cent to
training that is, 85 per cent gave
personality as the prime requis
ite. An important part of person
ality, he said, is right attitude. He
illustrated this by the case of a
cobbler with a pair of shoes to re
pair, having two pieces of leather,
the use of the poorer piece giving
him 25 cents larger profit for his
work than the better piece. But
his customer bought his work ex
pecting the best service he could
give; so the cobbler used the bet
ter piece of leather. "There Is no
substitute for quality of mater
ials or service, he declared.
To the person starting out In
life, he said, there are two very
important questions: "What shall
I do, and whom shall I marry?"

Is expected soon.
There ha9 probably been
more discussion and controversy
over the matter of cell fronts
and locking devices for the new
block at the penitentiary than
over most anything else, and yet
of leas interest perhaps to the
general public. However the
matter Is important, bnt it nat
urally has held up completion of
the building.
The awards for th cell fronts
were opened late in 1930, but it
wasn't until May, after many dis
cussions and heated arguments In
the board, before they were
awarded to King Brothers. Since
that time there has been a con
tinual debate on the subject, and
probably will continue to be until
the Job is accepted..
The pew cell block at the
penitentiary la nearly complet

occupy the new quarters about
two weeks after the door situa

and will accommodate more
prisoners, relieving somewhat
the congestion at the institu

only one death during 1931 at
the prison. This was from pneu

PLEfl TO LEGALIZE
BEER SENT HOUR
Plea for President Hoover to
urge congress to legalize sale of
beer Is contained In a letter yes
terday sent to the president by
John J. Roberts, local hop man.
He asks not for return of the open
saloon, but for legalization.
Pointing to the 10 years Vol
sted experiment, to former saloon
days in Salem, and to days when
It was a disgrace for a man to be
intoxicated and the present-day
"craving desire to have that which
Is forbidden". Roberts winds up
his letter:
"It is the writer's prediction
that with but few exceptions ev
ery wet candidate will be alected.
The victories already won by the
wets shows the growing feeling
and sentiment of our people and
tend to verify this prophecy. If
you can at this time change your
ideas and views, as wise men
sometimes do, you will be consid
ered the greatest man of the hour
and of all ages by at least two
thirds of the American people,
having saved the hard working
people and taxpayers to this na
tion and the country from bank
ruptcy. Ignominy and disgrace."
