and Immediately after the wedding
Banker Oglebay and his bride left for
the east where they will spend their
honeymoon. George III. Oglebay is
widely known among the financial men
of Northern Indiana, and his savings
pank in Tippecanoe county has been in
existence for many years and is ac-
counted as one Of the strongest of the
smaller banks in Indiana Mrs Ogle-
bay stated to the court that she was a
graduate nurse and while it was GER
tain that there was good story con
nected with the marriage neither the
banker nor his bride were willing to
give any information more than that
the marriage would undoubtedly come
as a surprise to the people Of the little
village Of Romney. The groom admit
ted that he was three score years of
age and that his bride lacked two years
of being fifty, but there was no doubt
but that both were Of an age of discre.
ton and Judge Slosson was willing to
marry them without having them give

bers of well known families in the Tn
diana village and it is stated from La
Fayette that they left their homes
early Wednesday morning with a state.
ment that they were going to Chicago
for little pleasure trip. The banker
had evidently heard of Kenosha as a
place to get married and once in Chi
cago the couple took the first train for
Kenosha. The marriage has already
been announced in the little Indiana
village and the officials of the bank as
we'll as the social friends of the bride
and groom are arranging to give them
a great reception on their home coming

SOCIALISTS HAVE BILLS
Socialist Assemblymen to Present Sew
eral Labor Measures to Legislature

Frank j. Weber, Fred Brockhausen
and E. j. Boerner, three Socialist as
semblymen from Milwaukee, went to
Madison Tuesday to be present at the
opening session of the legislature.
They have several labor measures
which. they wish to have enacted in
to law, including a bill providing com
pensation for injured workmen, the
money to be paid out of a. fund Gre
ated by the employers ana managed by
the state; a bill providing for an eight
hour day on all construction work; a

will permit workmen to strike and
boycott; bill to prohlpit the use of
private detective agencies in labor
troubles; a bill making a weekly pay
day compulsory; a bill to prevent the
employment of children in work dan
gerous to either their morals or
health, and bill to provide for the
appointment of attorneys TO give ad-
vice to the poor.

and old-age pensions, the prohibition of
the immigration of coolie labor and the
selection of federal judges by popular
election.

STATE TO Be PARTY
Bill introduced in State LegisIa.
ture Which Will Affect
Divorce Actions
MILWAUKEE, MAN DRAWS BILL

Believing that the state has an in.
terest in great majority of divorce
cases, Judge O. T. Williams of the
Circuit Court of Milwaukee county is
preparing Il bill to be introduced at
Madison this winter by which the state
will be made a party in every di-
vorce proceeding instituted
Under this law the papers in all di.
vorce proceedings will be served upon
the district attorney as well as on the
parties directly interested, and the
district attorney will have power to
appear in the case to safeguard the
interests of the state.
1t will oe provided also that all ali.
mony in divorce proceedings shall be
paid into the hands of the clerk of
the court, instead of being paid into
the hands of the plaintiff s attorneys,
as at present.
"The interest of the state is plain,n
said Judge Williams in speaking of
the proposed bill 'When there are
minor children who may be left as
public charges by the breaking up of
the home, the state should be placed
in position to prevent it if posslole,
In general way the state should look
after the interests of minor children
who are involved in divorce suits, if
those interests are threatened in any
way.
"As for the provision regarding ali
mony, it is better to have the money
paid to the clerk of courts so that
there could be no possible dispute or
misunderstanding as to how it is ap.
piled. Attorneys are almost invariably
trustworthy, but clients will be better
served and better protected if there
is some central authority to receive
and give out all money in divorce
proceedings"
Such law was introduced in the
Legislature several seasons ago, but
was not pushed to passage. The in
creased number of divorce cases and
the many involving small children
give rise to problems winch are per-
picking the courts and publicists, and
the bill being drawn by Judge Will
liams is intended to meet several of
the problems.

STRONG FOR RUDovITz
Many Attend to Protest Against De-
cision of u. S. Commissioner

Between two and three hundred peo-
pie attended the meeting held at Ger
mania Hall on Wednesday evening at
which Kenosha Socialists launched a
protest to the decision of Commissioner
Foot in ordering the extradition of
Christian Rudovitz. The crowd was
made up largely of Polish and Russian
people who were directly interested in
the outcome Of the big fight now on
but there was large sprinkling of local
socialists in the crowd. The principal
speakers were A. NJ. Simons of the
Chicago Daily Socialist staff who de-
llvered an address in English and
Henry Analucia who spoke in Polish.
After the addresses resolutions were
adopted denouncing the action of the
commissioner in granting extradition
and demanding that the treaty with
Russia under which the decision was
possible be abrogated.

Officials Send Out Statement of
New Law Regarding Natural.
ization Of Foreign Born
MANY MlSC0NSTRUE THE Law
Children Of Foreigners May Not be
Citizens Without Taking Papers
Unless Parent Took Papers
Before Their Majority

Many foreign born men are expert
encing more or less trouble In securing
their first and second citizenship papers,
because of being ignorant of the laws,
which have been changed a number of
times the past few years. A statement
has been issued by court officials in this
regard which is as follows
There appears to be a great deal of
Misunderstanding as to the rights of
persons to vote In this state since the
amendment to the state constitution at
the last November election.
All persons who have taken out their
first papers prior to December l, 1908,
will have the right to vote on those
papers until December |, 1912 After
December l, 1912, they cannot vote un-
less they have secured their second
papers. No person can hereafter vote
by taking out first papers only, unless
they got them previous to December J.,
1908. From a rough inquiry [ am sat-
isfed that there are hundreds of per
sons in this county who only hold their
first papers and after December J.,
1912, they cannot vote unless before
that date they get their second papers.
Under the new law first papers are only
good for seven years. The new law
took effect September 26, 1906, and all
persons who had taken out first papers
previous to that date are given seven
years from September 26, 1906, to Sc
cure second papers without invalidating
the first papers which they hold, not
withstanding that they were taken out,
in many cases, more than seven years
prior to September 26, 1906.
There are many persons in this coun-
ty who believe themselves to be full
citizens, while they are not. Any per
son who is not born in this country
even though he came here when two
months old, unless his father secured his
second papers before the boy became
twenty one years of age, is not a citizen
and must take out his first and second
papers before he can vote. Persons
may, if over eighteen years Of age, take
out their first papers the first day they
land in this country. The first papers
can be secured at the office Of the clerk
of the Circuit Court at any time with
out witnesses.
Persons desiring to secure their
second papers must have been in the
country five years and at least two
years must elapse between the first and
second papers. Any one desiring to
secure second papers must apply to the
clerk, bring with him first papers and
two witnesses, who are full citizens and
who have known him for the past five
| years. He will then make his applica-
ton and after the date of the apphca-
ton, ninety days must expire before he
and his two witnesses must return and
DE examined before the Judge.

COLD rs HELP TO MILKMEN
Ice Forming on Bottoms of Measures
Allows Dealers to Sell Scant Portions

Allows Dealers to Sell Scant Portions
Cold weather is attributed as the
cause Of a short measure of milk de-
iverer some of the dairymen and
peddlers of the city. Complaint was
made to the police this morning. The
complainant explained in this way:
When the cold weather prevails, the
peddlers fill up the measures. Con-
siderable milk and cream is left on the
bottom of the measure and this freezes.
In the course of few hours, the bot
tom of the measure is covered with one
or two inches of frozen milk and thus
the measure is way short when deliver
ed to customers.
One man declares that instead Of get
ting quart Of milk as ordered he only
got a. little over pint and others
claim the same thing. The police or
health department. claim that they can
not regulate this part of the dairyman
and milk peddler business. Whether
any action will be legally taken is not
known. The nlilkmen disclaim any in
tention of giving short measure
