HOW CHICAGO
PEOPLE LIVE
Another Triangle Love iIageoy
Comes to Light When Real wife
Complains. -...

limited Press Leased Wire Service]
CHICAGO, July 2O.-Chicago today
deyeloped another Of those triangular
tragedies in which the love OF two
women for the same man has once
more set awry the normal trend OF
three lives. Here's the story from
facts given today to a United Press
representative by the man and the
other woman.
Seven years ago, eighteen year old
Julia Millahr, fresh from Germany.
went to work for Ralph B. Brum-
baugh, wealthy furniture dealer and
owner of 100000 worth of Chicago
real estate About year later Brum-
baush confessed his affection for the
child. With Mrs. Brumbaugh's per-
mission, according to Brumbaugh and
the girl, she was given every care at
q local hospital. When the baby
came-a boy-the little mother was
established in fashionable apart
ment on Prairie avenue.
Brumbaugh, childless by his first
wife, was permitted to spend much
time with his love-wife and the baby,
according to his story. He spent his
afternoons and the early evenings at
the cote he established for his love-
wife as Julias Millahr. The remand
er of the time he remained with Mrs.
Brumbaugh at his office, or at home
on Drexel boulevard.
Two years and a half ago another
baby arrived at the Millahr apart
ment This time it was a girl baby.
The couple was delighted.
I'VE have planned great things for
our babies" said Mrs. Julias Mill
abr, today. THAT other woman-she
is not his wife in the sight Of God
cannot stop us. For long time she
realized that she was nothing in
Ralph's life and she was fine enough
to act accordingly. But she would
never consent to divorce so we
could marry. Such things are not
right. Now she has threatened Ralph
with the law, which proves she never
loved him"
Mrs. Brumbaugh today refused to
talk She merely said she had not de-
cided anything except that she could
stand the double standard of living
no longer.
Il have done nothing to be ashamed
off, said Brumbaugh, today. II am
glad the world knows all. l would
have had it so years ago had it not
been for the woman who bears my
name I understand she has gone to
the federal authorities with her story.
Whatever happens will make no diff
ference. In the end, I shall marry
the mother of my children"

take advantage of the offer was Mr..

The Keokuk Industrial association

The communication of Superinten.
dent Collins Is herewith printed:
To the President and Directors of3 the
Keokuk Industrial Association, Keo-
kuk, Iowa:
You are aware, the Keokuk and
Hamilton Bridge Co., on account of
the great increase Of traffic at this
point, have been compelled. with th.,
exception of piers, to build an en-
tirely new bridge. This calls for the
destruction Of their present plant and
a large expenditure of money for a
new one. An expenditure of 100000
in such an enterprise, at such a time
as this, can only be justified by an
anticipated largely increased develop
ment Of the commercial interests they
are created to serve, among which is
the growing importance of the cities
OF Keokuk and Hamilton which are
destined soon to be the center of
large manufacturing interests. This
last statement Is so patent to all that
we need not enlarge upon it. The
bridge structure will be of the latest
approved type, and is designed to
meet all the requirements of highway
and railway travel To fully meet
this demand they have wisely decided
to build what is known as double
decker, and by SO doing will avoid
the delay vehicles are now subject to
on account of the steam and inter
urban trains. The roadbed for pedes-
TRAN and vehicles will be twenty-six
feet above the top of the rails as now
laid and will leave the west end of
the draw span on viaduct five hun
dred and eighty feet long, crossing
the levee and Water street on grace
FIJI curve thirty feet above their sur
face, landing on the east side of lot
seven, block five, ono hundred and
sixty feet from the corner of Blon-
deau and Water streets. When COM
pleted this elevated bridge and via
duct will not only be a grand scenic
highway across the greatest river on
this continent, affording travellers a
splendid view Of many beautiful homes
on the bluff; of the second largest
dam and the largest electrical power
development in the world; the gov
eminent locks with their novel dfsap-
pearing gates which are equal in
width and exceed in height any on
the Panama canal, and our immense
dry dock but, in addition will be Of
incalculable value to the retail trade
Of our city provided we do the part
which falls to us to do. We -cannot
reasonably expect others to boost us
into heaven of prosperity while we
do nothing for ourselves. The bridge
company have done their part by pur-
chasing one half of blocS five and gen.

prediction that If there is any capital
in Europe when the war ends, it will
come over here to escape the tremen-
dous burden of taxation it will be
called upon to bear, and that If the
burden is all shifted upon labor.
which Is usually the case In Europe,
labor will come over here. America
will possibly have more problems at
the end Of the war than it has now.
