 Ship 6obs Around.
 On board the ship no wireless is used. In peace times a little paper is printed every day on board, but we are dead to the world and the world is dead to us. It is week today since we sailed. It is awfully tiresome to go on this way. The boat sways and rocks because there is no cargo; noth- ing to go. to America. The steamer is immense, 4,1T0 tons. Racks are never used on the tables, and the chairs are not fastened down: if we were loaded as usual there would be hardly any motion, but the sea has been rough and we bob around quite a little. The boat is full to overf1owing: many Ger man Americans and Jews. They do not usually travel on this line, but now no German steamers are running
 We heard in Holland that no steam CTS would run after this one and the Pottsdam, which is supposed to have left Tuesday. A steamer followed us with just the crew on board; all it's little boats were swung out ready to pick us up if we were blown over board. They followed us until we passed Dover and were well out in the ocean. Warships were all along the coast and even out in the ocean one signalled us and nearly made us 20 back, though they must have known we were neutral.

 When in The Hague we heard the Rotterdam was held up; then we heard it would never sail again; then there was no news. Finally we heard it had landed but could not tell when it would leave. We were at fever heat all the time, as you can imagine. We really began to feel we never could get away unless we went to England and took a boat from there.
 At last we heard she was in and that she was held up because she had lot of copper on board for Germany and the English would not let it go to them. It is still in the steamer, going back to New York, to find out to what country it belongs.

Then followed clashes, the pacify-

reconciliations followed by other
clashes, detectives, the kidnapping of
their children by the husband and the
legal battles which ensue when a
wealthy woman and her husband
cannot get along in peace.
After a stormy period which last

Are the millions left by E. J.
cLucky'') Baldwin tainted with do
nestle unhappiness?
Does the specterof divorce dog his
great wealth? Have the marital in
felicities which marked his own ca
reer, by some strange alchemy Of life,
been transmitted to the fortune
which he left to his heirs, so that
their happiness fees from their fire
sides when old 'Lucky's" gold
crosses their threshold?
Thus it appears to have been with
the McClaughrys, who were happy
before they were wealthy. But al
most as soon as the Baldwin gold
came to them they quarreled, sep
arated and were divorced.
Thus it appears to be with the Sell
bys, whose separation became public
recently and whose divorce is deem
ed inevitable by man and wife.
Eve were happy until wealthy"
said the husband, David F. Selby, of
Oakland. Shortly after receiving
the inheritance from her fathers es-
tate, Mrs. Selby grew dissatisfied
and commenced to lose interest in
her home.
"She spent most of her time in
travel, visiting different parts of this
country and on her return announced
to me that our home no longer held |
any attraction for her, and that she |
was going to leave for good. She left |
for Los Angeles and later came back
and now resides in San Rafael, Cal"
The Selbys were married in 1906 |
and on their honeymoon visited |
Lucky Baldwin's Santa Anita
ranch near Los Angeles. 1t was then
that the aged millionaire recognized
Mrs. Selby as one of his daughters
and heirs. They have a 5-year-old
daughter, Helen Frances Selby.

Special to The Tribune
OGDEN, Feb. As another step in
the closer relationship of home and
school, Superintendent w, n Peterson
of the Weber county public schools has
introduced the adult school club with
the result that the innovation is prov
ing immensely popular throughout the
county. Several districts have already
organized clubs and taken up various
courses of study.
So far as known the plan has never
before been tried in this state and Su-
perintendent Peterson declared today
that he received the idea originally
from Denmark. About three weeks
ago, by asking the principals Of the
among students and parents, the super
intendent introduced his club plan. With
IN three days after the plan was intro
duced the West Warren district had Or
ganiZed club with twenty-nine mem
bers, Some idea of the interest may
be gained when it is known that the
district has school enrolment of forty
one students. Three meetings, one each
week, have been held and at the last
meeting twenty-sevea of the twenty
nine charter members were present.
While the plan may be regarded as
additional extension work already in
augurated by the Utah Agricultural col
lege, Superintendent Peterson Is idea of
giving straight school courses is being
followed. The West Warren club has
been divided into two classes The older
people take up and discuss agricultural
questions, while the younger people are
taking courses in arithmetic and Eng
lish. Superintendent Peterson has in
structed his principals and teachers
throughout the county to attend the
meetings. become members Of the club
and furnish any information desired;
but they are not to become officers OF
the clubs, and especially must they not
be regarded as instructors.
