MARITAL TROUBLES
AGAIN IN LIMEu|GHT
Mrs. Mary Laney Has Husband Ar
rested on Assault Charge-Prose-
cutor Says Evidence Not
Sufficient-Case
Dismissed

Another chapter in the marital
troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Laney has been given to the public
during the last few days, and this
time 1t was the enraged wife who
accused her husband of wrongdoing.
Mrs. Laney came to Pullman last Fri
day, and that evening went to the
home of her husband and sought ad-
mittance. This was refused her, and
on Saturday morning Mrs. Laney ap-
peared before several lawyers and
police justices with request for a
warrant charging her husband with
third degree assault, her story al
leging that she had been forcibly
elected from her house, where she
went to see her children, and that
her husband had beaten her about
the face and breast. Mrs. Laney was
unable to secure warrant in Pull
man because of lack Of specific in
formation, and journeyer to Colfax
to take the matter up with Prose-
cutting Attorney Burgunder.
On Monday morning the county
prosecutor issued the warrant and
sent Deputy Sheriff Baker to Pull
man to arrest Mr.. Laney. Laney was
taken to Colfax on the afternoon
train, armed with sufficient bonds to
obtain his release pending trial, but
Immediately upon arrival the case
was dismissed because of lack of evil
dence and Mr.. Laney returned to
Pullman.
Each party to the case tells a diff
ferent story. Mrs. Laney alleged in
her complaint that she had been bad
ly beaten and kicked by her spouse,
who, she asserted, knocked her down
when she attempted to enter the
house. On the other hand, Mr..
Laney asserted that he had simply
put out his hand to arrest the ad-
vance OF Mrs. Laney, whereupon she
had become hysterical and called for
help. Mr.. Laney is emphatic in his
denial of the assault charge and as
serts that the attempt on the part Of
MS wife to take him into court was
ruse on the part of D. M. Haynes,
VINO Is being sued by Laney for
szo,OOO In an alienation Of affections
SUIT and his attorneys, to give Mrs.
Laney an opportunity to testify
against her husband, which privilege
Will be denied her in the alienation
suit.
Inc case Is attracting wide atten-
tlon because of the prominence of
Mr' Haynes, who Is former council
man and retired farmer of Pullman.
ana new developments are watched
Win interest. Judge McCroskey last
week overruled the motion of the in-
tense IN the alienation suit to make
INC complaint more definite. 1t is
''a'eo That Mr.. Haynes is now in a
sanitarlum at Portland suffering
from nervous breakdown, the re-
suit OF the notoriety incident to the
suit The answer of the defense %
ING information must be made this
afternoon.

ACCIDENTS
Occur To Two Motorcycle
Riders AT Races

Two accidents occurred at the race
track at Lake Hiawatha park during
the motorcycle races.
On Saturday afternoon Carl Lucas
was severely injured when the mo-
torcycle went over the embankment
at the east side of the track. Lucas
was an inexperienced rider and when
he went to make the turn at the east
side he turned ON the power, instead
Of shutting it off. He was thrown
several feet and was unconscious for
fourteen hours. His injuries are not
serious.
Sunday night William Ellis of In
diana was thrown from his motor
cycle near the judges stand. He
struck the ground on his face and his
nose was badly cut. His left eye was
also injured. A Mt. Vernon surgeon
attended both men.

BALMY
Temperature Is Prediction
For The Week

Washington, July 19-Another week
of generally fair weather, with moder.
ate summer temperatures, was fore.
cast last night by the weather bureau
"The indications are that temper
ature during the week will average
near or below the normal over all
parts of the country" said the bulle
tin, with little probability of ex.
tremely high readings in any section
The rainfall during the week will be
generally light and local.
mo important disturbances are
charted to cross the country during
the week, although an area of low
pressure, which will appear over the
far west Tuesday, will move slowly
eastward, attended by local showers
and thunderstorms, and reach the
eastern states near the end of the
week.
This disturbance will be followed
by cooler weather over the northern
and central states. There are no in
dications of disturbances in the West
Indies at the present time" ~

Unmarked Grave Of Author
Of Dixie
Is At Last To Have Fitting
Memorial
James Lewis Smith, Wealthy
AShtabuIa Man
To Meet The Expense Of
Erecting Monument
Ella Wheeler Wilcox To Write
Verse Of Inscription

Ashtabula, o., July 20-The un-
marked grave at Mt. Vernon, o., of
Daniel Decatur Emmett, the man who
wrote the famous song of the South,
"Dixie," is to have a monument erect
ed over it soon by an Ashtabula resi-
dent, James Lewis Smith.
For more than half a century the
southern states with their millions of
native sons and daughters have sung
Emmett's song. 1t has been their fav-
orite hymn, sharing honors with
America" and during the days of the
rebellion becoming the battle hymn of
the confederacy. Yet no southern state
er society has put through a project
to have the final resting place of the
author of their "'Way Down South in
Dixie" jingle appropriately remember
ed, and it has remained for son Of
the north-a "Yankee"-to make the
investigation which led to finding the
unmarked burial spot. And now the
same northerner, ]. l.. Smith of this
city, is to provide headstone.
Smith, who is probably Ashtabula's
richest man, has recently returned
from tour Of the state, in the course
of which he visited Mt. Vernon and
went to the cemetery there, learned
the identity of the remains.
Since that time Smith has caused
to be drawn plans for an eight-foot
monument for Emmett and has writ
ten to Ella Wheeler Wilcox of New
York, the famous poetess, saying that
the only contribution he asks towards
the project of installing the memorial
is four-line verse which he asks
her to write to be used as an inscrip-
tion on the stone.
Emmett was born in Mt. Vernon in
1915. He served in the army and
Joined circus company in 1885. He
formed the first negro minstrel COM

DEMONSTRATING
His "FitneSS" To Serve On
Supreme Bench
Sundays Enquirer)


The other day Hon. George Coyner,
Of Mt. Vernon, whom the granite
hearted Republican bosses have care
fully left off the slate, was spread
eagling down in the Jefferson County
hills. To prove that he was genuine
judicial timber, he declared that Ohio
was the most extensively governed
state in the union," thereby making a
perfect fool out of the United States
Census Bureau, which says something
far different. Then he coughed loudly
about Secretary Graves ruling" on
the primary law, and said that it
would "disfranchise" a lot of Bull
Moosers. Through this he belted his
party which passed the law. Then he
pitched into the Warnes taxation law,
and saw in it the death of liberty and
free government, apparently overlook
ing the demand of a number of Repub-
lican Governors for it. Predicting the
fall of the dynasty at Columbus" he
moved up the valley.
