LIMITED
DIVORCE
GRANTED
Judge Reiter Gives Bill in
Divorce Case, But Couple
May Find Themselves in
a Tangle Unless They
Watch Their P's and Q's.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wohrle have secured a
divorce. 1t is called a limited di-
vorce," and about every limit that
could be placed on a divorce is placed
on this one. The only other divorce of
the kind granted in the Lake superior
court is the one that was granted by
Judge Harry B. Tuthill to DR.. and Mrs.
Otto Negele.
If you had the kind of divorce that
was granted to Mr.. and Mrs. Wohrle
you would find yourself in the following
predicament:
1. You and your wife would be di-
vorced for five years.
2. Even If you should make up" you
could not lawfully live together for five
years without being married again.
8. After five years you and your wife
would find that you We're again mar
ried and would have a legal right to
live together.
4. If in the fve-year period you had
| decided to get a license and re-mar-
ry. at the end of that period you would
find that you were bound by two we'd
ding ceremonies.
Would Be Married Twice
5. If you married before the hve-year
period is up and then decided to get
divorce after the fve-year period was
over the question would arise. Would
you not have to get two divorces in
order to be legally separated from your
wife?"
1t is a terrible tangle. and the chances
are that the couple viii have to go to
Judge Virgil S Reiter from time to
time for explicit instructions on the
momentous subject, How not to live
together"
Other provisions of the decree are
that Mr.. Wohrle must pay his wife SIS a
week for the support of the children.
Mrs. Wohrle is to have the custody of
the children.
Limited divorces. such as the one
which was granted to the Wohrles yes
terday, are only granted when in the
| judgment of the court. the parties to
the controversy are incompatible and
| it would be unwise to permit them to
become involved in any other matri-
monial tangles.
While there was no positive evidence
introduced that Mr. Wohrle was at
tempting to secure a divorce for the
purpose of marrying Mrs. Lena Schaf-
er, the evidence tended to show that
| this is true, and the limited divorce will
prevent Wohrle from accomplishing
this purpose If he is disposed to do so.

SHAKE:UP

Rumor Has It That Officer

New List of Changes Is
Expected in Near Future.

Although there appears nothing on
the surface just at present that would
indicate shakeup in the local police
department, a few changes here and
there would not be a complete sur
prise. Chief of Police Austgen says
he knows nothing of any contemplated
changes, or IL he does ne is not saying
anything. At any rate, these changes,
If any are to come about, will be or
dered from higher up, coming from
Mayor Becker directly through the
board of police commissioners. The
board now has only two members.
Messrs. Anton Taper and George
Drackert, they being democrats AS
the shakeup or rather shakedown, may
affect only republican members of the
department, their case rests entirely
in democratic hands unless Mayor
Becker sees fit to appoint a republican

signed three months ago. The state
law provides for the appointment of a
bipartisan board.

The change which is said to be i'm

The COURTS
DECISION
Binzen and Scanlon Saloon
Cases Are Ended in the
Michigan City Court and
Attorneys Now Are Anx-
ious for Decision.

The famous Binzen and Scanlon sa-
loon cases, which have been in the
courts since the remonstrance was cir
culated in Calumet township last May
after which the county commissioners
refused to grant licenses to the Gary
men, were terminated today at Miehi-
gan City. Judge Harry B. Tuthill of
the superior court heard the last of the
arguments when Attorney Leonard of
the plaintiffs finished his plea this
morning.
Quite a large crowd of interested
Gary people went to Michigan City yes
terday to hear the finish of the cases
and the summary of the evidence.
Those who heard the evidence and are
impartial in their judgment say it was
impossible for them to determine how
the case would terminate. Among
those who went to Michigan City were
Sam Sax, Major John McFadden. Dr. F.
A. Smith, George O'Donnell. c. H. Ma
loney and Mike and Theodore Binzen.
100 Witnesses Heard.
There were no startling charges
made on either side by the attorneys

the evidence submitted during the two

RED LINE
PROSPECTS
LOOK Up
Hammond, Whiting & East
Chicago Line Will Be Re-
habilitated in Such a Way
That It's Own Father
Won't Recognize Tt.

The fact that the new capitalization
of the Hammond, Whiting & East Chi
cago line is to be s2.O0o,000 instead Of
s50O.00 Is an Indication of what is
to be done in the way Of rehabilitating
the local line.
1t is fact, generally known, that
until the regime Of A. l. Drum & Co.,
the Hammond, Whiting & East Chi
cago Electric Railway company stood
practically idle. For years the road
was allowed to run down, until two
years ago the Hammond, whiting Sc
East Chicago line was the worst piece
of traction property In the Chicago dis
trict.
After A. l. Drum & Co. took hold OF
the line a general program of rehabili-
tation was adopted. The work was
carried on slowly, however, owing to
the meager finances Of the company.
Abandon Aggressive Policy.
The urgent necessity for the rehab-
ilitation of the line made an aggressive
policy of railroad extension out of the
question and while it would have been
possible for the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago line to have headed OF
competition and secured a practical
monopoly in the region by the build
ing OF extensions to Indiana Harbor
and Gary. the lack of capital made this
impossible.
The result was that this work Of
pioneering was done by the Gary &
Interurban line the Chicago. Lake

ing. When the weather is cool It is
usually necessary to warm artifcially in
order to have it right. After the calf is
two or three months old, it Is possible to!
feed 1t milk that is cooler without sicls-
mess, If il is fed the same all the time.
The calf will not thrive If fed sour milk
one time and sweet milk the mex time.
In order to have milk in the right COIL
dition, II Is almost necessary to have a
farm separator. This allows the fresh
sweet milk to he separated and fed before
il becomes cold or stale, and with a little

used for feeding calves as clean as the
milk pals. It is also very important
that the stalls or pens in which the calves

Raising Calves on Skim MIX.

The most common mistake made in
raising calves by hand is overlooking. 1t
is exceedingly important that the calf be
not allowed to gorge itself with milk. 1t
is not necessary to feed more than one
gallon at a feed twice a day for any calf
no matter how large or how old. 1t ia
possible to feed a little more than this
without injury to the largest calves after
they are past three months old. A calf
should always be kept hungry. The
common ,aistake is to feed more skim
milk than is fed of the whole milk under
the mistaken impression that because it
" skim milk n larger moun should bc
fed. No o skim milk should be fed
than is fed of whole milk. Some arrange.
ment must be made for making sure that
each calf gs+s the amount of milk intend
ed for it. Good results cannot be had by
feeding a bauch OF calves from a trough,
~ is often done. as this gives some AMI.
mails a chance to gorge themselves, and
others, that are slow drinkers, do not &c,
4 sufficient amount. Feeding should be
done in such . way that each animal gets
just whst IL Intended for it and this
anae1nt should be measured or weighed
ont.
It's Of the greatest importance that
tn. young calves he siways fed milk in
the same condition regarding tey,pera.
ture and sweetness. A single feed Of
stale or soul mix OF cold milk will often
cause a case Of indigestion that may
check the growth Of the calf or ever be
enough todeed without additional heat.
