Let Newlyweds Fight

Says Judge Fox
Parents Interference One Big Cause Large Number of D
vorce Suits Filed in Circuit Court Holds Jurist
Authority on Domestic Infelicity.

Il have found in many case that the
old 'motherin-law joke is not a joke.
1t may be that mothers-in-law are jeal
Gus, but l believe in most cases they
have at heart the best interests of
their children and wish to guard them,
when they meddle into the newly mar
ried couples household and personal
affairs.
But it doesn't work out the way il
is intended, and too many times ad-
vice from parents brings the children
scurrying to a lawyer and then into
the courts. l try to get into the heart
of such cases. and where it is possi-
Bile, straighten out all the parties with
advise to let the young ones steer their

for young married people to live with
their parents. Confidential advise
from any one possibly prejudiced for
one or the other of a couple is often

If you have to live In one or two
rooms to start. That's sound advice

on file for a period of one or two
years before it can be brought to trial.

EXPRESS CAR BURNS
CAUSING LARGE LOSS
Fire Caused by Explosion of
Lighted Kerosene Lamp
AS Train No. IL Crosses
Whitewater Bridge.

Explosion of a kerosene lamp in an
express car on No. II as the train
was crossing the Whitewater bridge
early this morning started a fire
which resulted in a loss estimated by
express company employees at between
$4,000 and $4,000.
The entire interior of the car was
gutted and the express was either
burned or ruined by water and chemi-
calls used to extinguish the blaze. it
is almost impossible to place an esti-
mate on the amount of the loss as
practically every record and way bill
was destroyed. 1t will take some
time to trace down every package and
adjust the losses.
Films Explode.
Firemen of the city companies en-
countered difficulty in fighting the
flames as the car contained number
of moving picture films which ex-
ploded from time to time, hamp ering
the work of the hose company men.
Chief Ed Miller was knocked against
the side of the car by one explosion,
but with other firemen in the car,
pluckily continued the work of stamp
ing out the flames.
Hose company No. ! was the first
to reach the burning car and other
companies arrived shortly after.
Chemicals were used first, but as the
blaze, famed by the wind, gained
headway, it was seen that water had
, n ha n
one-half hour to put out the fire.
Shriber Fights Blaze.
AS the train was crossing the White
water bridge lighted lamp hanging
in the middle of the express car, fell,
causing the explosion. The kerosene,
spread quickly and ignited. Taylor
Shriber, express messenger, was una
Bile to cope with the situation. Shriber
fought the flames as best he could,
frantically attempting to stamp out
the blaze which was rapidly spreading
to other packages and boxes in the
closely packed compartment Jerking
Off his coat he beat at the fire, but
then seeing that he could do nothing
to check it's spread, opened the door
and called to brakemen.
The train was stopped at the Eighth
street crossing and englnemen called
to other employees in the station yards
Ed Rice, Pennsylvania employe in
running to turn in an alarm of fire,
slipped and severely sprained liga-
ments in his leg.
There was no live stock in the car,
except a number of chickens These
were roasted alive. The car contained
everything from valuable jewelry to
wearing apparel and rubber mallets
A large deer's head probably was the
| least damaged by the conflagration
Train No. II runs from Chicago to
Cincinnati and arrives here at 6:35
o'clock.

New York Landscape Artist Brings
Paintings to Richmond Exhibit

Mr.. Symons was we'll pleased with
the art gallery in this city and accord
ing to his own words. 1T is the best
that l have ever seen for towns of
this size and even larger. The light
ing facilities are almost perfect and
in some instances are better than the
Fifth Avenue galleries in New York." J"
Whether the lighting system was
made perfect by accident or well
planned, l can say that 1t is excep-
tionally good. 1t gives the correct
impression of the picture without the
tiny shadows from the Jumps of paint
which often deadens the color of the
painting"

the Indiana pioneers in art also has a

fuses contributing to the exhibit 1t is
expected to be one of the best at.

AURORA, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE body

Let the young married couples
fight their own battles of life. The
less interference on the part of par
ents, the fewer divorce suits there
will be in court | find fewer divorce
suits resulting from the influence and
advice of attorneys who are unscrupu-
lous in dealing with married men and
women coming to them for advice,
than judges in other counties of the
state. Intemperance, lewd compan-
ions, and in many cases the lnterfer-
ence in the home of young married
couples by parents, are the primary
causes which form the base for most
divorce suits filed in Wayne county
With fifty years of experience in
handling the problems which come up
between husbands and wives, and
which can not be settled in the home,
Judge Fox, circuit. country supreme,
appellate and criminal judge for the
past eighteen years, made the fore
going statements today.
Few persons realize the influence
that an unscrupulous attorney can
have on young husband or wife who
is dissatisfied with his or her married
conditions. l am glad to say, how
ever, that the Wayne county bar is
free from such attorneys, and it would
be hard matter to find a shyster
who practices in this court.
when a man is a drunkard, WON,
an should be granted a divorce from
him. If man refuses to provide, the
wife should not be forced to live with
him. If he deserts her, she should
not be compelled to live as his wife
1t is the same with the man as with
the woman. Most of the suits filed
by men are cases where the wives are
untrue.
Another evil which enter into the
divorce court is the youthful mar
riage-not that all youthful marriages
are folly, but many are made too
hastily and before either party has
given any consideration of the con
tract they are making.

about the police automobile question

mending an appropriation Of $1,000

purpose. By that time council was ex-
hausted and time was called, the mill

March.
The committees report, presented
by Councilman Williams. was reject

too indefinite and too general in de-
tails, but the arguments which follow

Controller McMahan took part,
brought forth the desired information.
so the report was recalled and ac-
cepted
Councilmen Russell and O'Neal were
the only members who showed real
opposition to the proposed appropria-
ton. Prof Russell admitted the po-
lice department needed a machine,
but he was dubious whether the city
could afford to purchase it.
Desires Competition.
Mr.. O'Neal first advocated the pur-
chase of a large combination auto
patrol and ambulance. but said he re-
allied the city could not afford to pur-
chase such equipment. Then the
Sixth ward councilman said the four
dealers in the market to sell the city
car had bid as close to the maxi

tisement for bids as they had dared.

go into the auto market of the larger
neighboring cities and purchase a
good secondhand machine for much
less than the bids received. which
ranged from $500 to $1,000. The bid

meditatively watching a bucaneering
chicken-hawk draw widening circles
against the blue and listening to the
vibrant tattoo of "pecker-wood" on
a far-away tree, and the timorous wet
whistle of a bob-white. The whole
place was very quiet now. For Just
one thrilling moment 1t had burgeoned
into sound and movement: when the
sweaty horses had stood snorting and
stamping in the yard with the hounds
scampering between their legs and the
riding-coats windng like rubies In the
