Breaks Loose.

Clinton, Iowa, June 29.-Charged with

pf Davenport. organizer Of number OF
furniture clubs in Clinton and other
cities, was arrested by the police Tues
aay afternoon ON a complaint filed In
he court of Police Judge Frank Ler-
hugweII. Over three hundred women
Ia Clinton are said to be members of
Mrs. Jacobs clubs, and it is said that
at one time there were more than five
hundred Clinton women tn the clubs.
The crime with which Mrs. Jacobs is
charged carries a penalty Of not more
than one years Imprisonment, $500
fine, or both.
Mrs Jacobs was arraigned before
Police Judge Lef1ngwell Tuesday after
noon, and her hearing was continued
until Wednesday. She was placed un-
der $1,000 bonds IN the meantime.
County Attorney W. T. Cakes asked
that the bond be placed at $1,000.
The arrest Of Mrs. Jacobs is the Gull
mination Of q siege Of the Offices OF
County Attorney w. T. Cakes, Police
Judge Lefingwen and other authorities
over fifty women at various times max
ing complaint, but none could be found
who would sign an information against
Mrs. Jacobs. Several weeks ago Mrs.
Jacobs was summoned 10 the police
station, and at that time was warned
that she might get into trouble She
explained that the fault did not lie with
her, but with the firm which she rep
resented.
PAY 80 CENTS A WEEK.
Each OF the women in the clubs, the
Organizations consisting of 33 members
each, contributed so cents a week A
drawing was held each week, and the
successful woman In each club was en-
titled to a piece Of furniture. The wo-
men continued to pay until they had
drawn a piece Of furniture or paid
SIC so, at the expiration of 33 weeks,
when they became entitled to a piece
Of furniture valued at 1850. Women
who drew furniture claim they have
not received It, although In some in
stances they have been awaiting the
furniture since the middle Of Novem-
Der.
Mrs. Jacobs, who represented that
she represents the Central Furniture
company Of Davenport, declared that
she was not to blame, but that the fas-
tories which supplied her firm with fur
niture were 30 rushed with business
that they could not make the ship
ments rapidly enough. Recently she
held meeting at the Revere hotel, at
which IT is said more than one hun
dred women were present 1t is alleged
that she told them then that she would
see that their money was returned to
them, and that a check would arrive

week The money did not materialize
TEN CLUBS IN CITY.
According to reports received by the
police Mrs. Jacobs had 10 clubs in Gin
ton, each with 80 women, a total of $50
women. but at one time she told the
authorities she had 800 members here.
She Is also reported TO have Informed
the members of the club that a branch
house Of the furniture company was to
be established in Clinton. An investi-
CATION made by the police failed to re-
veal the Whereabouts Of the Central
Furniture company in Davenport.
Mrs Jacobs made no distinction in
the character or class Of her club
members, her rolls in Clinton tnclud-
ing women OF wealth, washerwomen,
colored women, and foreign women,
all induced to join the club IN the hope
OF securing furniture cheap. She is
also said to have a thriving business
Of the same character in Fulton, Nor
rison, Sterling, Davenport, Rock Is
land, Moline, and other towns. Mrs.
Jacobs, 1t is said, represented that the
clubs were on the order Of an adver-
Using plan TO acquatnt members with
the high class of merchandise handled
by her concern.
RETAIL DEALERS SUFFER.
Her transactions in Clinton are al
legged to have fairly demoraized tae
business of local furniture stores.
1t is said that in the year the clubs
have been operating Mrs. Jacobs
coming here first about last July.
she has made 500 deliveries of furui-
ture At the time she was warned
by the authorities In May, she stated
she had delivered 1853 davenports 10
Clinton homes. AS a result, 1t is said,
the local dealers have experienced
dropping of in their business
Some of Mrs. Jacobs alleged vic
tins are said to have contributed as
much as s3s, taking several
unexpired memberships when the mem
bers dropped out after paying few
weeks, those taking the memberships
expecting to stand "a better chance OF
winning or at least of getting the
$3.50 piece of furnitlee as mary
times so cents cheaper as the deiin
quent members had paid. 1t is al
legged that Mrs. Jacobs represented
to those drawing furniture or be-
coming entitled to it by reason Of
paying the full 1880 that for SO or
81 more they could get a much better
piece, thus inducing them to pay the
extra money.
COLLECTORS ON JOB.
The authorities also claim that
they are prepared to prove that NJ -.
Jacobs bought some of her furniture
at local factories and a local install
ment house, representing to
the club member that the fur
niture came by freight and collect
ing 81 freight. Local women and two
girls from Davenport were engaged
as collectors, making weekly collec-
tons from the club members. To one
club member, whom Mrs. Jacobs met
Tuesday, she paid back $3.50 but II

TO A YOUNG LADY ON HER BIRTH
DAY,

The marching years go by,
And brush your garments hem,
The bandits by and by
VIII bid you go with them.
Trust not that caravan!
Old vagabonds are they;
They'll rob you If they can,
And make you believe it's play.
Make the old robbers give
OF all the spoils they bear,
Their truth to help you live,
Their joy to keep you fair.
Ask not for gauds nor gold,
Nor fame that falsely rings;
The foolish world grows old
Caring for ali these things.
Make all your sweet demands
For happiness alone,
And the years will fill your hands
With treasures rarely known.

BLIGHT OF DIVORCE
SECOND TO SLAVERY

Since slavery ended Rheta Childe
Door, says the most important social
evil of he United States is the accurs-
ed blight of divorce.
within the past twenty years 954,-
600 divorces have been granted in the
United States-two-thirds of them to
women" she says. This means that
in face of the anathemas of the
churches, in the face of tradition and
prejudice, excepting in the great ma
.jority of cases, the responsibility of
earning their own living, more than
100000 women have repudiated the
burdens of uncongenial marriage.
This is the most important social
fact since the slavery question was
settled. The prevalence of divorce
shows that women are no longer sat
isfied with the existing conditions OF
marriage, and the number of divorces
great as it is, by no means indicates
the number of women who are unhap-
PLY married. Many women will en-
dure unhappiness to the end.
"Any way we look at II, the econom-
ic dependence OF women and children
seems a mistake. A man commits Q
crime. Who suffers most when ht
goes to jail? A man is killed or in
jured in industry. His family |.
