Waterloo Woman Sues Husband foI
Divorce on Novel Grounds.

Divorce on Novel GROUNDS.
Waterloo, March 14.-Cupid must be
in tears over the unfortunate mating of
a couple past middle life, as shown by
a petition filed by the attorney for
Birdie Rosenkrantz against George
Rosenkrantz. They were welded at Ell
kins, w. Va, Jan. Z, 1912, about nine
weeks ago, and the complaint states
that they have lived together ever
since in the same house, under condi-
tons hereinafter set forth
Then follow some unusual allega-
tions on the part of the bride, who
says she is As years old and that Mr.
Rosenkrantz is So.
1t is alleged that the defendant, with
the intent of hectoring and annoying
plaintiff, when she was trying to sleep
at night, tickled the bottoms of her
feet and pinched and scratched her. 1t
is charged that the defendant, when
angry, pinched and bruised the plain
tiff about the body and that he twisted
her arms.
The brides home was formerly in
is practically stranger in Waterloo.
She alleges that because of the treat
ment shown by her husband, she fears
he may do her great bodily injury. She
says he has an ungovernable temper.
Another complaint voiced by Mrs.
Rosenkrantz in her petition, is that
her husband neglects to battle. She
ayers that because of this allegation it
is not desirable for her to continue to
lived with him.

large hopeless class OF INDECENT persons
who are afflicted.
The facilities. at present available for
the care and treatment Of tuberculosis
are very inadequate. The state insti-
cipient cases only and can when run
ming at full capacity, handle 40 cases.
Boulder Lodge. private institution at
Fort Dodge, takes care Of selected
cases and has a capacity Of twenty,
and is admirably adapted for this pur-
pose. Ridge Camp. which is operated
in connection with the Associated
Charities of Des Moines, cares espe-
cially for advanced cases and has a
variable capacity. This institution
makes provision for persons made in
digent by the disease and is rendering
great service, not only to the city of
Des Moines but to a number Of outside
communities who have applied for re-
lief. Several counties are now build
ing hospitals where in due time they
hope to make provision for their con-
sumptive population. All in all, the
general combat against tuberculosis
presents some very encouraging as
poets.
That there is need for some more
aggressive cooperation in the final
combat against tuberculosis is appar-
ent as it is entrenched behind centuries
of tradition and interviewer with our
complex social institutions. The disease
can be stamped out. but not until every
community in the state recognizes the
absolute necessity for adequate hospi-
taliZation Of every advanced consump-
tive.

ROW At MASON CITY.
City Council and Park Board in Quar-
rei Over Extent Of Authority.

rel Over Extent Of Authority.
Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City, March IA battle roy
al is on here between the city council
and park board and today six Of the
most prominent engineers in the coun-
try are In this city, taking sides pro
and con.
The question to be settled seems to
be two-fold, whether the city council
has the power to condemn park prop
erty for any purpose and just the rela-
ton that exists between these two
bodies. The Judge hearing the case
will also give his opinion whether 1t is
the thing or not to have an 1mhoff sep
tic tank in the east park. The city
council went to work and after oppo-
sition from the park board, had the
ground condemned and it was ap-
praised by the sheriff's jury. setting a
valuation Of $500 on the property.
From this the park board appealed
on the grounds that the council was
exceeding its authority. The battle was
on and the city council opened with
their testimony John Wilson. city en-
eineer of Duluth; Prof. Frederick Bass,
director Of engineering in the Mime
sofa University. and Leonard Pearce,
engineer Of Chicago, all gave testi-
mony and today the park board called
F. e. Pease, engineer of Des Moines;
J. G. Milliudrch, engineer Of Blooming
ton, Ill.,, and Chef Stevens, engineer Of
this city.
The contention Of the park board is
that the odor from the tank would be
offensive, while the city council con-
tends that It would not be. and the
witnesses examined for the city testi-
fed along that line.
The city park board wanted the sep
tic tank located below the park and IN
the questions seemed to indicate that
the board would have been content
had 1t been located $50 feet to the
west. This could have been done at an
additional cost OF less than $1,000. Ex-
perts for the city council testified that
the location further to the east would
have been Just as good as the one Sc
lected. Judge J. ]. Clark is hearing
the case.

seem more important than the cravats.
