Among other things. the company has

Any SoldierIy Man May Vote.
In its decision in the famous Prime
Guest case the courts held that any
man subject and eligible to military
duty within the state had the right to
vote on the officers of the guard Sec
ton 8 of article vi of the constitution
of the state of Iowa provides that call
commissioned officers of the militia,
staff officers excepted, shall be elected
by the persons liable to, perform mill
tary duty, and shall be commissioned

This means, under the supreme court
decision in the Prime-Guest case, that
any man between Is and As years of
age, may vote when national guard
company has an election and may
have his vote counted for the commits

MRS. HARTJE MAKES DENIAL
ANSWERS HUSBANDS PETITION
FOR REoPENlNe OF CASE.
Ida Scott Makes Affidavit That How
ard Lappe Dictated Letters
Written to Him.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 30.-Embracing
damaging charges and counter charges
and combining REPUTATION with denial,
the answer of Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje
to her husbands petition to have the
Hartje divorce case reopened In the
superior court, sitting in Philadelphia,
was made public by Attorney John
Freeman, the woman's counsel, in this
city Tuesday.
The answer makes denial of ever
writing any letters to Nadine and de-
mics that she committed perjury at
the last hearing, The most sensation
al scathing is given to Howard Lappe,
who, it is alleged. sold the Ida Scott
letters to Mr.. Hartje. and to Mr.. Hartje
for his action in securing damaging
testimony against his wife.
One part of the Ida Scott affidavit,
which explains the position taken by
her in regard to the Lappe letters, is
as follows
"The statements referring to Au-
gustus Hartje, or the Hartje divorce
proceeding, contained in the letters
written by me to the said Howard
Lappe, were written at the suggestion
and dictation of the said Lappe, he
stating that with such letters he could
force my father to consent to our mar
riage. l am informed and believe
that with this end in view the said
Lappe did exhibit some of said letters
to my father, and sold the same to the
said Hartje or his agents"
