TELLS OF STRUGGLE
TO SUPPORT FAMILY
William Bilderback Fears
Entire Family Will Take
Typhoid Fever.
IN HOSPITAL
Attending Physician Orders
SOn-in-law Removed to
Institution.

In a voice choked with emotion
William Bilderback last night after he
had returned from his days work al
the Hoosier Drill company, told Pal
ladium reporter of the hard work that
he had done to keep his family togeth
been stricken with typhoid fever and
asserted that he would never have
called upon any one for help as long
as he was able to go about his work
1t was only through the kindly inter
est of a neighbor that the attention
of the public was first called to the
brave effort that Bilderback has been
making to support his family.
This case has been investigated and
found worthy. Persons desiring to as.
sist the family are requested to notify
the Penny Club
Obtains Little Sleep.
The old man and his son Otto work
every day and were able to get along
nicely before the daughter and grand
son became i'll with typhoid, caused
by using milk from the Hartman dairy
it is said. Since that time the grand
father has had scarcely any sleep, be-
ing compelled to care for the sick
members of his family at night.
The daughter who is at the hospital
is doing we'll and is expected to make
a rapid recovery.
Il expect that the little boy would
have done better too if we had sent
him to the hospital" said the old man,
the tears rising in his eyes The doc
tor says it is probable that the rest
of us will probably take the disease. I
have not seen the doctor except on
Sundays since he first came, as | have
to be at my work. If l get it myself
| want them to send me to the hospi-
tai as there Is too much work now for
my daughter to do without caring for
another sick person"
Taken To Hospital.
Jesse Killing, the husband of the
woman who has been doing all the
housework, was taken to the Reid Me-
mortal hospital today. The removal
was made on the order of the attend
ing physician who declared that un-
less the work of Mrs. Killing was
lightened, she too, would fall an easy
victim to the disease.
The Penny club has already sup
piled the family with some necessary
and food stuffs and the Pal
ladium will supply the family with ice
out of it's special fund for that pur-
pose.
5aby's Condition Critical.
Roy, the three-year-old son of Mrs.
is in a very critical condi-
ton. The attending physician announc-
ed today that brain trouble has devel-
oped as a result of the fever, lessen
ing the child's already slight chances
of recovery.

OF SOCIETY
CAUSE OF DIVORCE
Judge Fox Says Desire for

Brings Separation.
WANTS LAW AMENDED
Young Persons Marry Before
Considering Income and
Cost of Living.

'The high cost of living and soci.
ETY. can be held responsible for most
of the divorces of today" said Judge
Fox, of the circuit court, today. The
divorce laws are so liberal that condi.
tions are becoming worse each year.
l never hear a divorce case unless l
am forced to-"
Judge Fox bases his statement on
the grounds that society of today is
teaching young girls to spend beyond
capacity and to expect as much when
they ars married as before.
Many Marry BIindIy.
For instance, take a girl who is ac-
customed to dancing, card playing and
other social diversions" said the
judge. Young men of today can give
the impression that they have lots of
money while in reality, they often
have nothing and are receiving small
wages. Such pair marries blindly and
the girl still expects to attend dances,
to dress with the same style as before
marriage and to keep up appearances
to the notch where they were before
she was married
THE result is a hasty conference
with a lawyer and a divorce suit is
filed. Then after they have seen the
folly of marriage and are divorced,
they see the wrong of their divorce
and would return to each other If their
pride did not prevent

number Of divorces granted would de-
crease by one-half."
Scores Equal Suffrage.
The judge also believes that the
only real grounds for a divorce, is
or abandonment, he said.
Women's suffrage was also scored
by Judge Fox who says the present
rate OF living for women will ultimate
ly result in their taking hold of the
reins. of government

HUERTA ADHERENTS
FORSAKE PRESIDENT
Foreign ENJOYS Ask 1000
Soldiers to Protect Mexi-
can Capital.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 16-The situa
tion of foreigners here is becoming
critical. A mob of students today
started a riot by denouncing Ameri-
cans and all other foreigners. The
mob was subdued in a brief encdairter
with the police. Further trouble is
looked for tonight.
Huerta's supporters are deserting
him, and the dictator and his cabinet
members are taking precautions to
guard against assassination. A Span
ish woman has been arrested on a
charge of attempting to poison Min
lister Aldete. Because Huerta =. had
taken over the duties of congress, four
judges of the supreme court have re-
signed.
The force of federal troops held
here for the protection of the Mexi-
can capital was weakened today by
President Huerta within twelve hours
after representatives of foreign ma
tions had decided to report to their
guard of 5000 soldiers were neces-
sary to assure the safety of foreigners
Sends Away Soldiers.
Disregarding the action taken by
the ENJOYS of Great Britain, France,
Spain, Cuba, Guatemala and Norway,
General Huerta ordered 1000 soldiers
to proceed to the north and aid in the
attempt to capture Torreon
The ENJOYS refused to comment on
Huerta's action, but Immediately mott
fed their home governments Of the
weakened condition of the defense.
The situation became more tense
today as a result of the arrest of En-
rique Enryle, Catholic deputy, on a

one of the fourteen members of the
court who sided with the governor
The decision reached in executive ses-
sion made it practically certain that

fact that this reception plan originated In the
fertile brain of j. r. Planetary, chairman of
the entertaining committee and head Of the

Richmonders to a sense Of hospitality, because

THE INFLUX OF ALIENS.

Indications are that the high water mark Of
immigration through the port Of New York will
have been reached this year when ofscials have
completed the figures for April. which will show
that something like 100000 aliens entered the
port during that month. The increase over the
same period in 1912, 1t is said, will total nearly
81. 900. and the increase for the first four months
of the present year will show an increase over
the corresponding period OF 1912 of something
like $4,000
