Through resolutions adopted at the ,e-
cent meeting OF the National Legislative
league, club women OF the country are
urged TO study the laws Of their respective
states in order that they may know what
are the unjust determinations against
them in the statutes regarding ownership
and inheritance OF property, the legal
rights Of their children, the power to make
a will and all other matters pertaining to
their welfare, and TO work for a readjust-
ment Of laws wherever they inhict injus,
tice or disability upon women. Attention
is called to the fact that In but twelve
states of the union mothers have equal
guardianship OF their children with the
fathers; that men have the right TO dis
pose OF their children as they see At, and
that, under the law, the mother is power
less TO retain the guardianship OF her
children. A great majority Of women are
in ignorance as to their status under the
laws of even their own states, and IT is
scarcely remarkable that as they have no,
generally interested themselves that the
lawmakers have not troubled to right the
injustices of laws, that in the main were
made when conditions were not what they
are now.

SUD Tried once before.

The suit was first tried before Judge Jes-
sen OF Nebraska City in Omaha in 1899, was
appealed by SchumaCher's attorneys, who
succeeded in securing an order for new
trial to a jury, and was TO have come up a
second time March ,. But the defendant
served notice that il wanted the dispositions
of Schumacher, OF Notary MCGEE, who had
sealed cOnveyances for him. and OF Corbett.
Corbett had gone to Colorado eighteen
months before and couldn't be located. At
torney Kennedy went TO Chicago and spent
the first three days of last week looking
for Schumacher and the notary. He found
neither. Schumacher was known to have
made conveyance OF some Omaha property
in 1894, but the Chicago directories now
give no clue, and up to date the man de-
tailed by the Pinkertons is unable TO re-
port any definite find. Meanwhile the court
waits to decide whether the absentee has

TO BIG SUIT MISSING
Plaintiff in Eighty Thousand Dollar Oas'
Cannot Be Found.
HIS LAWYERS HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM
Attorney for Defendant Corporation
Makes Unsuccessful search in Chi
caEO and Then Employs
PInkertOn Detectives.

John Schumacher, a printer and plaintiff
in an $50, 900 law suit against the Crane
company of 1915 Douglas street, is missing.
John l.. Kennedy, as attorney for the de-
PENDANT, has spent three days running
down" the various John Schumachers given
in the Cicago city directories and, being
unsuccessful in this, has employed the
Pinkerton Detective agency to make a spc-
cial search. Schumacher's attorneys, Judge
E. Wakeley and Byron G. Burbank, concede
they do not know where he is and never
have seen him. Judge Slabaugh of the dis
trict bench, before whom the case was TO
have been heard yesterday, declares it
the most remarkable one Of its kind he ever
encountered and has put the hearing over
to April 2, that the hunt may be prosecuted
further. He stated from the bench that an
even longer time would be granted If neces-
sary, as the court considers 1t only proper
that the defendant, since it desires TO take
plaintiffs deposition, should know whether
such plaintiff is alive and accessible.
COrbett Employs the Lawyers.
The litigation dates back to 1899, when
Wakeley and Burbank were employed by,
Charles Corbett Of Omaha, who claimed
to have power of attorney from Schumacher
to sue the Crane-Churchil company for
pOSSNSoloh u Nv FOVsVVu a VlO DOh6-
las and for the rentals and profits thereon.
which then amounted to a snug sum and
now amount to about SIS, 900. Schumacher
claimed ownership of the property
through a conveyance which was
not Of record when a certain foreclosure
suit was commenced in the United States
court in 1891. The deed referred TO pur-
ports on the records TO have been ac-
knowledged June 2, 1891, but was not, the
defendant asserts, recorded until July 8.
1891. Meanwhile the suit to foreclose a
S35. 900 mortgage to the Central Loan and
Trust company was commenced in the fed
eral circuit court on June 9. 1891.
Schumacher is understood TO be seeking
to recover on the theory that his title was
not cut off by the foreclosure proceedings,
because neither he nor his grantor, Shirk,
nor Tonchray, the grantee in the deed ac-
knowledged June 2, was made defendant
in the foreclosure suit.
