NEW PHASES DEVELOP IN
CHAUFFEUR EPISODE
BATCHELDER AND WIFE MAKE
CROSS CHARGES
Woman Asks Warrant for NonuSup-
port and Husband Wants to Put
His Better Half Under Police
Bonds

Tho tchelder~CumminSs .scandaI,
involving two families of social prom
ipence, was revived yesterday Wher
Mrs. Minnie Batchelder visited Dep
uty City Prosecutor Eddie to obtain a
warrant for her husbands arrest on
the ground of non-support
No sooner had the irate woman left
the office than her husband, Joseph d.
Batchelder appeared in state of
much excitement, asking that his wife
be bound over TO keep the peace.
Mrs. Batchelder recently filed a $780,
900 suit against George Cummings and
his wife, Mrs. Eva Cummings, for the
alleged alienation of her husbands af-
fections.
About the middle OF last month,
Batchelder. said to be connected with
wealthy Boston family, was Il chauf-
feur for George Cummings, living at
1910 Alvarado street.
Wife Revenees Herself
Through his alleged fondness for Mrs.
Cummings Batchelder became involved
in trouble with his wife who is said
TO have revenged herself on Mrs. Cum.
mingS in sensational manner.
According to the story. Mrs. Batch
elder surprised her husband and Mrs.
Cummings spooning in a big automo-
bile, and the angry woman is said to
have boxed Mrs. Cummings ears,
knocked her hat off and chased her
into house.
The suit for alienation of affections
followed this alleged episode.
The police end of the trouble began
yesterday.
The Batchelders live at 144 West
Adams street and claim wealthy rel
atives in London. The Cummings fam
lily is socially prominent.
Advised to Return
Deputy City Prosecutor Eddie told
Mrs. Batchelder to return Monday and
the complaint for non-support might
then be drawn.
81 Mr. Batchelder also had his story to
tell. He said that he was living in
bachelor quarters at the Koneta room
ing house on North Broadway and as
the result of visit OF his wife the
landlady bundled him out of his room,
bag and baggage. He informed the
prosecutor that his wife had made
things very unpleasant for him and he
wanted her put under bonds to keep
the peace.
Sidelights on the Batchelder- Cum
mings story are looked for when the
case is tried in the police court.

public by j. j. HILL of the Great
Northern The secretary makes an
answer today that breathes the spis>s
of optimism and confidence and as
surances of the future.
He admits the accuracy of the rail
road magnate's statement of facts, but
he opposes his deductions and prog
nostications. He declares that while
it is true the British farmer gets a
greater yield per acre than the Amer
lean. it is because he has adopted diff
ferent methods.
The secretary says the application
of new methods in the West and in
the Mississippi Valley will yield enor-
nous returns.
The secretary has no uneasiness
about the prospective lack of fuel

first step in granting free alcohol, and
this department is at work learning

But what of the land which lies above

not be taken? Well we are working
still more for it. We are finding
crops that will grow on it. We are
searching the ends of the earth for
them. Durum wheat, grown for cen
turtles in Algeria and dry parts of Rus

duce a good crop in ten inches of an

the crop will be much larger.

for something. We are raising the

Sullivans grand challenge to Bryan

as follows:
ITO test Mr.. Bryan's sincerity a lit

If | hold my position on the democrat

ought to resign. Ii Mr.. Bryan has
falsely accused me Of profting by
fraud, then he ought to quit running
for president; because no man it fit
to be a candidate for that high Office

any member of his party. Therefore
l propose that Mr.. Bryan and I put the
issue as between us UP to the men
who sat as delegates in the Spring
field convention of two years ago. Mr..
Bryan has said that a majority of
them were opposed to me for
national committeeman. Let US
poll those delegates. Let us have
this poll made under the direction of
the chief justice of the supreme
court of Illinois. If the majority of
those delegates will support Mr..
Bryan's present contention and will
say that l was elected to the natio-
nal committee by fraud, then I will
On the other hand-and this | con-
tend is but fair proposition-if the
majority of those delegates of two

allegation of fraud, then | insist that
Mr. Bryan shall publicly announce
that he will no longer be a candidate
for the presidency at the hands of
the democratic party. The Ameri-
can people believe in fair play. Call
