ANNA SAID TO
Be AN ICEBERG
Charles w. Cordrey Alleges
That Wife Didn't Want
His Love and Caresses.
UNIQUE COMPL LAINT IS FILED
Couple Were Married in Evnsville
Five Years Ago and Were Separ-
ated in 1908.

Charles w. Cordrey made attempts.
too numerous to mention, to love and
caress his wife, Anna B. Cordrey. but
she success fully evaded each and every
loving advance. according to the COM
plant for divorce that was fled in
the Lake superior court by the in
imitable divorce attorney. William II.
Sfckman. of Hammond.
Mr. Cordrey lives at 2S3 Oakley ave-
nue. in Hammond. He claims that his
wife is large, healthy woman Of fine
proportions
They were married in Evansville,
May 5. 1904, and lived together until
Dec 20, 1908. During the five years
of their married life Mr.. Cordrey
claims that he made repeated efforts to
win his wife's affection.
Time and again he endeavored to
love and caress her. according to the
complaint but she was an iceberg and
repeatedly repelled him.
Threatened His Life.
Finally, instead of loving him. he
alleges that she could curse and swear
at him and threaten to kin him. Or
the 14th OF June she is said to have
told him that she would kill him If he
did not get out of the house
The couple have one child as the
fruits of their five years of married life
and the plaintiff claims that his wife
is not a fit person to have the custody
Of the child. However, he leaves the
disposition Of the child to the wisdom
of the court.
The case is one Of the most unique
divorce suit sthat has ever been fIeC
in the Lake superior conrt.

NJ 'ALEER HAS A
GREAT FOLLOWING
With Him at the Helm and Schaaf
as Candidate for Mayoralty Re
publicans Believe Their Chances
for Success Would Be Very
Good.

There has been considerable talk of
Attorney w. J. MacAleer for the office
of republican city chairman. Before
the announcement was made that Rich
ard Schaaf might become the republican
candidate for the office of mayor At
torney MacAleer refused to consider
the matter of taking the Craftsmanship.
Now, however, he has promised a
number of his friends that he woGld
take the office if Dick Schaaf would
De the candidate. In fact. MacAleer
was one of the men who originally
brought pressure to bear on schaaf
to induce him to run.
The fact is generally conceded that
MacAleer would make a splendid city
chairman. He is one of the aggressive
men in the party. and the requirements
of the coming campaign are such as to
demand the services of a fighter A
dyed -in-the- wool republican who will
not compromise with the enemy at any
stage of the game.
Has Large oFIlOwing.
MacAleer also has a large personal
| following, some of whom have urged
! him TO come out for mayor. To these
/ friends MacAleer has said repeatedly
4 that Dick Schaaf is the man to whom
the party must look for success at the
| polls next fall and he has steadfast-
! " refused to be considered for the Of

The belief is growing that the re
/ publican party will be successful a
the polls next fall by record break
i ing mapority. and it would be a feath-
er in the cap of any man who would
be instrumental in bringing about sucf
a success.
While there will probably not b,

this summer. it is expected that there
will be a very active campaign thi!

KRIMBILL PRAISES
WORK ON ROADS
Says That Very Little Dam
age Has Been Done to
Highways.

Oscar Krinbill today denied the stor-
les to the effect that the large number
of automobiles which passed over the
Lake county roads preceding and dur
ing the recent automobile races had
done much damage.
The traffic over the roads between
Hammond and Crown Point during the
races was about equal TO the ordinary
traffic of a month" said Mr.. Krinbill
today. and as I went to Crown Point
yesterday I noticed particularly that
there had been very little damage done.
In some places the fact that there
had been heavy automobile traffic was
noticeable, but nowhere did I see any
great damage done. On the other hand,
| went over the whole race couse and
I am in a position TO say that Lake
county has had presented to it one Of
the finest country boulevards in the
world.
improvements Arc Many.
The Improvement to the twenty
three miles of the race course offset
ten times the damage done to the other
roads in the county. We have not yet
had an opportunity to tell how roads
dressed with this taroid preparation
will stand up but it is my opinion that
the tar and oil will prevent the water
from doing the damage that it usually
does. during wet periods, to the roads
that are improved in this manner.
The experiment of using taroid
dressing is being given a trial, without
cost to the county, and if it proves to
be all that is claimed for it we may
find it a good thing to use on all of the
country roads.
1T stands to reason" he continued,
that an oil and tar preparation would
be a great thing to protect the surface
of our country macadams from the
rains, and l think the farmers and au-
to mobilists will agree with me that a
period of wet weather, in which the
ruts are filled with water will do the
roads more harm than twice as much
traffic in dry weather"
