FOURTH EFFORT
MADE TO
GET A DIVORCE

With record Of three divorce
trials decided against them in Mis-
souri, one in which the husband was
refused a decree and two in which the
wife was unsuccessful. the domestic
troubles of Charles B. Miller have been
transferred to the Idaho courts. Miller
is now seeking 1 divorce in this coun-
ty. Judge Mccarthy heard the case
in part yesterday.
The suit is being bitterly contested
by Mrs. Miller, who, with affidavits
and court records galore, seeks to
show the court here that she IL not
to blame for the ship wrecked life of
the pair, and alleges instead that her
husband is at fault.
WIFE WoRklN GIN STORE. /.
Miller, who now resides at Notus,
early last summer tiled a complaint in
the district court, asking divorce from
his wife on the grounds of desertion.
A little later he received his first jolt
which came in a -etter from Judge
Jones Parker of the st. Louis court Of
criminal corrections, which cited that
Mrs. Miller was working in a depart
ment store for a small salary and had
no money with which to fight the case.
Judge Parker sent an answer to the
CONF laint and asked to have it filed II
any provisions could be made in a
case in which a defendant was without
funds. Later the answer was filed by
Gardner Adams and the case lay dor
mant until yesterday afternoon when
Miller took the stand to give testimony
in his gn behalf to secure a decree.
HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS.
According to the testimony given by
Miller, he was married in 1898, and
there are two children, both girls, now
residing with their mother. He gave
a brief history of their stormy career
for eight years, testifying that his wifi.
refused to move to a farm with him
for the reason that she said tfle Girls
were musical and they must live in
the city, where they could be well edu-
Gated and have music lessons.
Some eight years after their mar
riage. he testified his wife filed acton
for divorce against him and while he
did not contest It. she did not secure
a decree. Some Is months later, he
testified, she tried again and was again
denied divorce. After both cases, he
testified, he made offers to live with
her for the sake of their children and
that they tried it again for a time. A
year or 50 later, he testified, he filed
action for divorce on the grounds or
desertion and that was denied. Twice
| he testified, he took his family to a
farm and on both occasions his wife
left him, once afte rbut few weeks
and the second time after only three
days. She refused to come to him in
Idaho. SO Miller stated, and he declared
this was his reason for ask ing for di-
vorce on the grounus of desertion.

Belgians Themselves Re-
sponsible for Transports

borers, Claims Berlin in
Explaining Removal Of
Others Than Unemployed.
BY CARL w. ACkEREAN,
United Press Staff Correspondent

Berlin, Dec. 16.-Germany has al
ready returned 500 or 700 Belgian
workmen who had been transported
out of Belgium, because of mistakes in
clas Eff cation whereby they were in
correctly designated as unemployed.
This Information came the United
Press bureau here tonight in an execu-
tive telegram from Brussels.
behind this redress accorded by Ger
many lies an interesting story. The
mistakes by which these workmen
wer. transported wore due to playing
of politics by man. Belgian mayors

United Press from Rrussels declares:

Germany.
1T is doubtless true that mistak es
have been made
Many Belgian mayors refused to is
sue the II ,cessary lists of unemployed
because of alleged patriotic reasons.
n many in tances the patriotic rea
sons were untrue md the real reason
for the refusal was because of corrup-
tion in the local Belgian administra-
ton. If these mayors hgd given the
German authorities the lists of all en-
ployed, so that the unemplo ed could
have been chosen. 1.-THE their proteges
would have been transported, or the
fraud would have become known.
PLAYING OF POLITICS.
But IRIS cad, these mayors gave in :
formal not from the viewpoint OF
the unemployed. but from that OF
party politics, Many liberal or social
list mayors listed their clerical politi-
cal opp, nents as unemployed; while
the clerical mayors, in the same fash
ion saw TO listing as unemployed their
political opponents.
This explains why il was that a
great many intellectual people and not
mere workmen were transported by
error.
Not only did M yors do this. but
il many cases they put On the list OF
unemployed mauy working people
whom they suspected of ben friend

The fault for these errors lies not
with the Germans, but with the Bel
