UUUFEn III JAIL.
Commitment Issued for Man of
Many Wives.
Has Failed to Obey Judge Whit
combs Order.
COMES TO THE END.
Has Refused to Provide for
Wife and Child.
Must Stay Until $50 Fine and
Costs Are Paid.

Unless hasty action is taken this aft
ernoon, John G. Cooper, divorce king,
will sleep tonight in the Shawnee
county Jail. A commitment for
Cooper was issued today by Judge
Whitcomb and this afternoon the
sheriff's force is looking for Topeka S
much married man.
1t is because Cooper not only failed
but refused to obey the courts or
ders in the recent divorce proceed
ings that may cause him to rest his
bald head on a hard straw pillow at
the county jail tonight. Cooper is in
contempt, the court says. and as much
as John G. and his attorneys may
argue to the contrary, Judge Whit
comb holds the trump cards and
Cooper must go to Jail.
There are any number of matri-
monial battles in which Cooper has
shouldered arms and marched away
with greater or less triumph But
this is the first time in all his 90
years Of legal joy and remorse that
the doors of the county jail have
weather man says it will be rather
cool tonight. It may frost. People
who have been there, say the county
Jail is damp and cold and dreary on
such nights and it may be that John
Cooper won't relish the meals that
Colonel Norton serves his boarders.
Yet the court says it has been lenient
with Cooper. He was given time in
which to obey the courts rulings and
set aside that Monroe street property
for the support of Baby Cooper and
to pay the monthly gas and grocery
hills for Cora Cooper. He hasn't done
ii.
It was more than two weeks ago
when Judge Whitcomb fined Cooper
$50 for contempt. He said Cooper
must obey or go to jail Cooper was
to have five days in which to prepare
an appeal. He has had Is days. Each
dav the larder in the little house on
Madison street in which Cora Cooper
and the baby live went lower and low
err No checks came from the dean OF
the marriage ring, to whom Cora was
once welded. Her mail order husband
continued to walk the streets free
man.
Now Cora Cooper's needs have called
a halt and she demands satisfaction.
When the facts in the case were pre-
sented to the court today, Judge Whit
comb signed an order demanding that
Cooper be committed to jail. There is
TO time limit on the term which Coop
er must serve. The courts order says
the derelict companion shall stay un-
til the courts orders are obeyed and
the fine and costs paid.
So if no new tangled legal machin-
cry is set in motion this afternoon,
John G. CooDer's name VII be added
to the already crowded register in Col.
