WOMEN HELD FOR
EXPOSING LIVES
Mrs. Charles Wyncke and Mrs
Ed Heene Arrested in the
Railroad Yards.
WERE PICKING UP COAL
Both Close TO Death and Apparently
Obvious to That Fact-NIan
Is Also Fined.

Careless Of the fact that their lives
were being endangered each day by
their efforts to save a few dollars by
picking up coal in the railroad yards,
two women, Mrs. Ed Heene and Mrs.
Charles Wyncke, were placed under
arrest yesterday afternoon by Special
Agent T. +. Peterson of the Rock ISL
and road, and last night were fined
81 and costs for their actions. One
of the women when arrested was
crawling underneath a freight car to
which an engine was attached. Had
the road employees failed to see her
when they did chances are that her
life would have been snuffed out or
at least serious injuries inflicted
In the other instance, the woman
was between the tracks and a train
was brought to a stop for fear that
she would step into its path. Both
were made TO realize the extreme
peril in which they had placed them
selves and hereafter will observe eau
ton when near railroad tracks. They
were warned against further raids on
the scattered coal in the yards and
unless they take heed Of the warning
will be dealt with in a more severe
manner in the courts.

WE'RE NOT IN NEED.

Thelo Nabe was fined the same
amount on a similar charge. The
crime of the circumstance is that the
ones who were placed under arrest
are people in modern circumstances
and have no defense Of poverty to up
hold their actions. The man owns
property in Rock Island and the
women are supported by men who are
steady workers and make good wages.

Wed and Separate
Within Two Weeks

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-The mystery of
the marriage and separation within two
weeks of Valeska Suratt and her young
leading man, Fletcher Norton, is at last
dispelled The handsome actress herself
is the ole who has spoken the words
that explain why she took the surprls-
ing plunge into matrimony with the boy
ish Mr.. Norton as a partner. They were
married on January l3.
Il married to be in the fashion, sne
declared. 1T looks so much better TO
be married these days, and l just had
to be in the swim"
Mass Suratt pointed out that almost
every one of her feminine friends was
married or divorced, and that the world
in general seemed to have more esteem
for thin on account of their matrimonial
experience; therefore, she decided to try
it herself.
However, Miss SUratt is not convinced
that divorce is as fashionable as mar
riage.
Nothing at all in the report that 1
am going to obtain a divorce" said the
fair actress. but 1t is true that Mr..
Norton and l are separated. The sep
sration was quite amicable, and We re-
main good friends. In justice to my
husband, it should be said that he has
acted with great gallantry in the mat
ter. There was an induCement offered
TO him to agree TO divorce. but he
Chivalrously refused to consider it

SUIT FOR DIVORCE
BROUGHT BY SQUIRE
Navy Carpenter Released
From Insane Asylum
Begins Action.

Released from the Government Hos
pital for Insane last week, William II.
Squire, chief carpenter in the United
States navy, today filed suit in the Dis
trict Supreme Court for a limited di-
Vorce from his wife, Harriet Frances
Squire, of Philadelphia, whom he al
leges was responsible for his incarcera-
ton in the asylum.
When Squire was given a hearing on
his sanity last week one of the alleged
delusions the Government alienists de-
clared he had was the unfaithfulness of
his wife. 1t developed in the course of
the trial that he had employed de-
tectives to watch Mrs. Squire.
Squire alleges in his petition that
while he was in the asylum his wife
represented to him that she obtained
his release, but as a matter of fact had
planned his Incarceration. Her tesd-
mony was to the effect that she believed
him to be of unsound mind.
That his wife threatened again to
have him sent to the asylum unless he
returned to Philadelphia with her is an
allegation made by Squire. He further
AYERS that she planned to draw from
the Government his monthly pay of $lS4
If the jury adjudged him OF unsound
mind.
While in the asylum five months,
Squire states: Il suffered all the an
guish and horrors of a sane man in an
asylum with only insane men for COM
panionS.
The suit is unique in many respects,
and will be watched with interest by
attorneys. Campbell Darlington repre-
sents Squire.

Dear Sir-February, 1888, my spine was

have suffered from spinal irritation of the

all hope when a friend recommended me to

what am satisfied could not be done by any
other treatment. have been able to rec
ommend you to many sufferers.
1 have no doubt that If your trouble arises
from some ailment and not from an injury
the doctor will cure it, and that in COM
paratively short time.
Some of the gentlemen who practice the

cannot be promised, and that is where It is
caused by a specific poison in the blood AS

Germany in the Nenr East

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 That Germany is playing a shrewd dip lomatio game In the near east there is now little doubt. The practical agree Turkey of $30000,000, following the re- cent sale of warships, as well as the course of Emperor Williams ambassador at Constantinople, all tend to show that Berlin is seeking to recover the old-time influence exerted in Abdul Hamid's time. Another indication of the active interest being taken by Germany in near eastern affairs Is the recent treaty between King Charles of Roumania and Turkey. which practically bottles in Bulgaria. The King of Roumania Is Hohenzollern, and therefore willing to aid Germany in fur thering her policies in Turkey.
 Germany controls large railroad conces- sions in Asiatic Turkey, and Is rapidly pushing these railroads to tidewater in the Persian gulf. The protection of these railroad interests makes 1t necessary that German influence at Constantinople should be paramount It is said that not only the Turks, but the Persians and Egyptians as well, have appealed to En- peror William, asking that Germany con- stitute herself the protector of the Mo hammedan people. That this task would not be disagreeable to Emperor William may be assumed from the jealousy with which the position of Great Britain in Persia and the Persian gulf is regarded
 This British. possession of the Persian gulf prevents the extension of the rail-
 roads of Germany to tidewater there on the terms that are considered most ad- vantageous.
 That Germany is dissatisfied with the status of affairs in Persia, where Russia and Great Britain have practically di- vided the country up between them, is

Mythology,s waning Power

From the New York Times.
 It is hard to believe that even in Japan will 26 persons be put to death for participation in an unsuccessful plo, against the head of the government Of necessity, in a criminal enterpris,
 involving so many people there must
 have been different degrees of responl
 sibility.j and to impose like, and tht
 severest penalty on leaders and led
 would hardly be possible in the Russia
 of today or the Turkey of yesterday
 especially when the crime meditated came to nothing.
 The Japanese, however, are peculiai
 in that longer than any other race ap
 preaching them in civilization and
 national rank they have clung to thu
 idea that their rulers are descendef
 from gods and are still essentially diff ferent from ordinary mortals. Oi course. the educated Japanese does not believe this, in the same way that hf believes other things, but he Is con tent for political and social reasons tb keep up a semblance of the old faith and the old faith Is still much mora than a semblance with the mass oi the Japanese population.
 Naturally the myth Is threatened bi the adoption of Occidental habits and learning, and 1t is not without reasoi that the conservatives and reactiont
 aries of Japan are pointing to the plot against the sacred person of the Em' peror as a result of abandoning thb ancient mode of life. Yet in the old
 days the assumption of the Emperors divinity was made an excuse for dt- priviug him of all real authority and of reducing him to the level of g help less puppet in the hands of ambitious ministers.
 That is not so much better than .ls-
 sassination. especially for an empegor who knows a myth for what 1t is and prefers power to worship.

HISTORIC RACING TROPHIES
Bells Are Said to Have Been Earliest
 Prizes Given for Horse Races

From the New York Herald.
 Rt the Scottish exhibition of natural history, to be held in Glasgow, three racing trophies which are among the eldest in existence will be notable ex- hibits. These are the historic Paisley Bells and Lanark Bell, dating back to a period when such thing as a thorough bred race horse was unknown.
 Almost 100 years before the Darley and Godolphin Arabians landed in Britain lit- tie native horses were running four-mile heats for the Paisley Bells. These trophies are of silver, the larger one about four inches long, while the smaller in less than one-half that size. It bears the date 1920, and the initials I'll.

 These, in brief, are the chief methods of the counterfeiters. There are two ways for them to get the spurious money in notwithstanding it or buying ar ticles with big bills or coins and getting good money in exchange. The first is so dangerous that 1t is seldom done; with good counterfeiters the second is surprisingly safe.
 And yet in almost every instance. in spite of all care and all precautions. counterfeiters are eventually run to earth. Why? Three reasons: Banks, secret service and system.

AN ELKINs STORY
Late Senator's Struggle With a Razor
 of the Safety Kind

From the New York Sun.
 The news of the death of United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins was and the Belmont yesterday for the late senator used to stop at one or the other of these hotels whenever he came to New York. The last time he was here. about the middle of August he spent 10 days at the Belmont
 On that visit the senator uninten- tionally gave the information clerks lot of trouble. It was his habit upon arriving to impress upon them that he did not wish to see visitors If anybody asks for rie," he said the last time, you can just say I am no, here" Then forgetting that he was not in the. hotel he would often takt seat in the lobby, and of course would be spotted by callers who had been told at the information desk tha' the senator was not stopping at the hotel. The clerks would have to ex- plain to the irate ones that the sen ator had said he was not In, and they had to take his word for 1t.
 The mechanism of safety razol gave the senator and 8 house detec. tive a bad time one morning Senator
  con at noon that day with a prominent citizen whose home is at oyster Bay At g o'clock he telephoned for tht hotel detective to come to his room 1T a hurry.
 Look here" said the senator wher the detective entered Somebody ha. been in this room and removed my safe ty razor and left this blunderbuss in it. place" He held up what appeared tt the detective to be safety razor Whats wrong with it?" inquired tn, detective.
 "Wrong?" repeated the senator. "Why man, everything is wrong with it. won't shave. Here I've got to be a Oyster Bay by noon, and I had cal culated on shaving myself in two min | utes and attending to some business be fore catching train. and now I shal have to take a later one because IT have to go down to the barber shop. Wh, on earth do you suppose anybody selected my safety razor to steal?"
 The detective could not answer tn, | question, but took the pieces of steel th' senator gave him and promised to SCI | if he could not have something done. II | the hall he met one of the assistant man | agers, to whom he told the troubles, add | ing that he could not seen slow anybod. could have got into the room in the frs | place. The manager. who slaves him self, looked at what the detective had il his hand and found that Senator Elkin had apparently screwed two pieces of tn razor together, leaving out the blade which he had handed the detective aloni with the rest of the razor. The manage put the razor together properly and tool it in to the senator. The latter laughe when his mistake was explained to hin and reached his luncheon at Oyster Ba, on time
