POOR HEATING in SCHOOLS
CAUSES MUCH SICKNESS

A number of little folks are Ill
because Of the poor heating of the
basement rooms in the Garfield
school. The pupils have been dis
missed several half days because OF
the cold. Is it not about time that
Abilene had enough interest in its
little children to take them out of
basement rooms anyhow?
The new Lincoln building, though
the most costly for its size in the
state, has developed poor heating,
two Of the rooms being uncomfort-
ably cold all forenoon every chilly
spell. An architect who would plan
a school building without making
proper arrangements to heat 1t
ought to be called to account. Cold
schoolrooms are first class breeders
of i'll health and disease.

SAME MRS.FREEMAN.
FAEIR ONCE THE
WIFE OF ABILENE MAN2
Mrs. Belle v. Freeman Pleaded
Guilty in Kansas City to Charge
OF Marriage" Fraud by
Mail

Is Mrs. Belle v. Freeman, S6 years
old, who pleaded guilty before Judge
Pollock In the federal court Of
Kansas City, Kan, to the charge OF
using the mails to defraud with c
matrimonial scheme the same Mrs.
Belle v. Freeman from whom Ed
ward A. Freeman of this city OBJ
tanned a divorce at the January term
Of court this year? The similarity
OF names and address lead to this
conclusion.
The charge against Mrs. Freeman
included three counts and Judge
Pollock fined her $500 on the first
and $3.50 on each Of the others. In
lieu of payment Mrs. Freeman will
be sent to the county Jail at Topeka.
It was last summer that Mrs.
Freeman, a widow, decided to oper-
ate a matrimonial "get-rich-quick'
scheme. She lived then at Belle
PLANE, Kan. She advertised extern
sively In various matrimonial mag
azines, had her picture printed In
most of them, then awaited devel-
opments. Her attractive face ap-
pealed to many men and they sent
her letters by the score, proposing
marriage. BY way of reply Mrs. Free
man would request that each victim
send her the price of railroad trans
portation. After receiving the money
Mrs. Freeman invariably would for
get the love-stricken sender. And
her scheme yielded liberal har-
vest.
Three of her victims, however, re-
ported the matter to government OF
ficials. Mrs. Freeman was arrested
recently at Shawnee, Ok, where she
was keeping a boarding house I'M
der the name of Mrs. Williams.
When Mr.. Freeman sued for d.
vorce summons was sent to Sum-
ner county to be served. 1t was re-
turned, with the statement that Mrs.
Freeman was not there. Later, per-
sonal summons was served upon her
at Belle PLANE, in Sumner county,
the same place from which the mat
rimonial advertising went forth.
Mrs. Freeman did not contest the
suit here.
