MRS. MAXFIELD'S
PETITION DENIED

Judge Mumford today banded down the
following rescript in the case OF Marion
Bowen Maxfeld vs.. Charles Redfern
Naxdcld The petitioner Is the wife or
he respondent, Charles Redfern Max
aeld By this petition she seeks the GUS
ody of their child, Charles Redfern Max
ield. Jr The following facts appear:
THE petitioner and her husband lived
With tho parents OF the latter until May
?ls. when the petitioner left her husband
roing TO the home OF her mother The
slder son Is now between two and two
md half wears old. and was born at
The home of the parents of the husband,
md has remained there since his birth.
Since the petitioner left her husband an :
ether son has been born. The petitioner
commenced divorce proceedings. but mas
since discontinued them She testifes
that she had TO leave her husband be-
cause OF his cruel treatment OF her. but
[ do not think she has proven this fact;
en the contrary, on this part OF the case
the evidence strongly preponderates
against her
Tho case is therefore that OF wife.
who. without justlhable cause. is living
apart from her husband. and seeks the
custody of their child. This fact alone Is
strong reason for denying the petition.
But a stronger and conclusive reason for
denying the petition is that in my judg-
ment the welfare of the child will be best
promoted by leaving him in his present
surroundings. No evidence has been Of
fered which shows, or tends TO show. that
the home OF the respondents Is an i'm
proper place for the child. or that they
are not proper and suitable persons In
every way to care for him. on the con-
trary, the evidence is clear that the child
has had proper care and is and has been
In excellent health. Under these condt-
tions the right OF the father and the well
fare OF the child both require that the
present custody OF the child be not inter-
fered with. The petition Is denied"

Newark. ~. j.. Jan. 2--Repeated fall
ures to discover the identity OF the WON

Thursday night have left the police with
no apparent tangible clue. Although a
great number OF false suggestions have
been followed by the police they have
thus far been able 70 accomplish nothing
that points definitely 10 the murderer.

A diver has been employed to under
take a search for the underciothes and
shoes OF the murdered woman. which are
still missing I'm the hope that some marks
may be found upon them which will re-
veal her Identity. but this is regarded as
n forlorn hope.
Harrison tomorrow night. IL 10 expected
that a reward Of $1,000 will be offered for
the apprehension OF the murderer.
The police devoted some OF their efforts
today 10 tracing the movements OF an
unknown man who was seen on a street
car In Newark, on the morning after the
crime. Men who saw him say that his
clothing was muddy and that he carried
roll OF money from which he offered the

Search was also made in Brooklyn to-
day for Newark man who disappeared
the day Of the tragedy.

DENTAL CODE OF ETHICS
Roast Being Prepared For Some
of Iowa State Dental Soci-
ETY. Members
ON UNETHlcAL ADVERTISING
Or. c. E. Woodbury. of Council Bluffs,
and Others, Have Collected Num-
Der of Such Newspaper Advertise
ments, Which Will Be Exhibited -
Reors anization of the Society.
Special to Times-Republican.


Council Bluffs, April est Is per-
haps just as well that the members Of
the Iowa State Dental Society should
be prepared for what is coming to
them when they meet in annual con-
vention in Des Moines next week
DR.. c. +. Woodbury., of Council
Bluffs. aided by several members of
the organization. have little roast in
store for number of their fellow
members, in the shape of ESSAYS" on
unethical advertising by dentists. DR..
Woodbury. has collected thirty or forty
newspaper advertisements, which he
says are clearly unethical. AdVer-
tisements calling attention to painful
or painless dentistry are outside the
pale of ethics, according to his CLASH
tication, as are likewise cards an
nouncing any sort of speciality. Cuts
of dentists or of teeth in newspaper
advertisements are enough to make
the doctor hold up his hands in hor-
ror, and, in view of the clippings that
he has collected. he has had occasion
to hold up his hands several times.
Some of the unethica practitioners
are members of the Iowa State Dem
tai Society and what will occur when
they see their advertisements in DR..
Woodbury's exhibit is a matter open
to conjecture, pure and simple. DIR.
Woodbury. says it will be valuable
object lesson to them. To make eff
fective contrast, he is going to have
some ethical advertisements, j. e..
merely professional cards, framed
with the "unethical" exhibits.
Code Of Ethics.
The reorganization of the society,
which is to take place at this meeting,
is Dr. Woodbury's warrant for basing
his classification of advertisements on
the proposed code of ethics of the or
ganization, which has not been adopt
ed. but probably will be next week.
This code of ethics declares that the
dentist should regard it as unprofes-
sional and beneath the dignity of his
calling to offer the products of his
skill in competition at fairs. or to
shopkeeper his goods, or resort to
public advertisements, such as cards,
handbills, posters or signs, calling at
tention to the peculiar style of BUSH
ness. lowness of price, special modes
of operating, or to claim superiority
over neighboring practitioners, or to
go from house to house soliciting or
performing operations, or to do similar
acts"

EXPLANATORY
RHEUMATISM
MOST TREATMENTS ARE UNsAT-

sLIAMS' PINK PILLS HAVE
CURED so MANY STUB.
BORN CASES THAT
THAT THEY COM.
MAND A TRIAL.

I. Is unnecessary to tell the sufferer
from infiammatory rheumatism that
the Ordinary treatments for this dis
ease are unsatisfactory.
Physicians are not of one mind on
the subtect but the highest authori-
ties held that rheumatism is dis
ease Of the blood. All admit that in
attacks of rheumatism there is a
marked and rapid thinning of the
blood. This Is a condition that a
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills at once arrests and cSrrects. The
thin blood is enriched, the strength
ened organs of the body throw Off the
poisonous impurities and the patient
gets well.
Mr.. John F. Crichton, retired gro
Ger, OF 1897 Fulton street, Chicago, ILL.,,
and veteran of the civil war, in which
he served as a member of Co. A. Hath
Illinois Infantry, bears witness to this
truth. He says:
II was afflicted with inflammatory
rheumatism for twenty years. and had
received only temporary relief from
the doctors About three years ago

not use either hand or foot for over
two months, and suffered intense
pain. My limbs were swollen and
could not move at all without great
pain. / had sleepless nights and
thought would never be able to get

rades thought was going to die.
II had paid out a lot of money in
doctors bills, but was not cured. One
day an old war comrade urged me to
)try! DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as he
knew 81 cases they had cured. Before
