states Contagious Disease Fund.

The State Board of Health has requested
the Governor to authorize the use of the
contagious disease fund to fight smallpox
in Indiana. Some time ago, it is said. the
board presented TO Governor Durbin a plan
for the suppression of the disease in the
State. Governor Durbin did not take kind
ly to the proposition and went so far as to
discourage the work of the board. it is
said. Governor Durbin refuses to discuss
the situation, only saying that the emer-
gency funds of the State must be carefully
guarded. Since the Kentucky Health
Board wrote a letter TO the Indiana Board
of Health. in which it called attention 10
the prevalence ~ smallpox i'm the lower
counties of Indiana, the members of the
Indiana board have been trying to induce
Governor Durbin to take steps for the sun
preston of the disease. but as yet little en-
couragement has been obtained

odor through the house" He AYERS that

away she became enraged and. picking up
a stick of wood, struck his hound dog with
it. When he protested against this act. he
says, she threw the stick and hit him on

Yesterday afternoon while Sergeant Cor
rigan was sitting at his desk meditating on
whether his new uniform would fit him or
not there walked into the station a young
woman neatly dressed, who was smiling
profusely She sauntered up to the desk
and her smile vanished. She demanded
CURLY that the sergeant tell her where her
father was. Sergeant Corrigan told the
girl that he did not know where her father
was. but if she would take a seat and tell
him about her father he might help her.
The girl did as requested and began her
story. prefacing il with a series of giggles.
She said she lived in Scipio and that her
name was Edith Dement,. She says she
had not seen her father since she was a
small child. but she had heard through
friends that he was in this city. She said
he had been here for over two years The
city directories were appealed to, but they
did not furnish any clew. Sergeant COrri-
gan asked the girl about several ina ginary
families who he said lived in the neighbor-
hood of Scipio. and the girl said she knew
them all.

OF DOMESTIC ROW
FRANK j. LEIBOLD CITED TO APP
PEAR BEFORE JUDGE LEATHERs.
Case That Has Been i'm the Courts
for Long Time-Other Court
Matters.

Frank ]. Leibold was yesterday cited 10
appear before Judge feathers. of the Su-
perior Court next Friday and show cause
why he should not be held for contempt of
court. This is the last chapter of a series
of legal fights that originated in the filing
of complaint for divorce and later in the
carrying of a habeas corpus proceeding
through the Supreme Court.
Several years ago Leibold brought suit
against his wife, Louise Leibold, alleging
that she was neglectful of her household
duties. He failed to sustain his allegations
by the evidence and Judge feathers denied
the decree Leibold had been separated
from his wife for some time before filing
the suit and was boarding with a grass
widow. Judge feathers told Mrs. Leibold
that If she would file a cross-complaint he
would grant her a divorce. Mrs. Leibold,
being a Catholic, refused to file divorce
proceedings on account of her religious be-
lief
Leibold and his wife have two children
and 1T developed that he did not contribute
TO their support after their separation. The
children were finally sent to his boarding
place with instructions for him to care for
them. The children were cared for for
some time and then habeas corpus proceed
ings were instituted by Mrs. Leibold for
their possession and custody. Judge Leath-
ers gave her the custody of the children
and ordered Leibold to pay s. a week for
their support. Leibold carried the case to
the Supreme Court and the decision of the
lower court was sustained, but by agree
ment the allowance was reduced TO $3.50 a
week. The petition filed yesterday asking
that he show cause why he should not be
held for contempt of court alleges that he
refused 70 make the first payment about
the middle of January and the last on April
20, although repeatedly asked to do so.
