Of her maiden name of Ruth John

years, while she often was forced to
pay the rent out of her own earn
ings.
Cruel and inhuman treatment of
Matilda DeBaets by her husband
Adolph DeBaets. which consisted of
sundry blows delivered by the man
was sufficient grounds for the grant
ing Of divorce TO the woman. They

FURNITURE WANTED
BY POOR FAMILY

Furniture OF any description, is
the cry Of another Of South Bends
needy families. according TO Miss
Leila Scott OF the Associated Chart
ties. In the family are three small
children and the furniture OF the
household consists Of only four
pieces. a bed. stove, kitchen table,
and one rocker.
II so many homes OF this city,
one can hardly believe that there are
not numerous pieces Of furniture
stored away and not used at all,
which would be Of so much com
fort and use TO such families as
this particular one. Instead of look
ing through the stores for pretty
Christmas gifts fer the poor, why
not just look through your home
and see if there is not some un-
necessary piece of furniture which
you will not use or can get along
very nicely without which would
make a useful gift. Even If it does
seem "a trivial gift 10 you, perhaps
il would be just what is needed in
some other home, and would bring
10 that particular home a feeling of
the Christmas spirit
Any kind Of furniture will be
gratefully received by the family
and will be called for and delivered
10 the right party by the Associated
Charities as soon as they are mott

GOOD WILL SUM
UP TO S14,268.0 o.
Charity Fund Gradually Grows
Managers Still Hope to
Raise $4,000.

At the end of the second week OF
the GOOD Will week campaign sat
urday. a total of S1426S.07 had been
raised. The second week Of the cam
paign netted s3.051.61. while the
pledges received during the first
week totaied S11,26S.07 The cam
paign will be continued vigorously
ali this week and the campaign man
ayers expect 70 raise at least as
much as was secured last week.
Although the pledges are coming
in slower the campaign managers
OF the Federation for Social Service
still have hopes that the amount
raised last year may again be reach
ed. There are "A number of expected
cOntr. butors who have not yet been
reached. numb Der OF factories and
stores where subscriptions were
taken up among the employees have
vet 10 be heard from. and there are
still a few solicitors who have not
reported. Augmented from these
sources. the found raised 10 date. is
expected 20 be considerably increas-
ed. a considerable amount Will prob

which will be taken up today in all
the Sunday schools OF the city.
BY the end of this week the total
fund raised. il is thought will be
near the $4,000 mark. The cam
paign will be continued after this
week.
Managers Satisfied.
The managers Of the campaign
were very we'll satisfied with the re-
suits during the past week which
brought $3,051.61 into the Golfers Of
the federation. They. however. urge
that the many solicitors and the
stores and factories where collec-
tions have been taken up as well as
many individuals. who intend 10 con-
tribute. but who have not been
heard from. make an effort 10 get
their contributions in as soon as pos
sible
IL has been found that those who
contributed to the campaign last
year are in most cases contributing
even moro generously this year. on
the other hand the proportion Of re-
fusal has also been larger. Prob
ably the most common excuse given
bv those who refuse TO contribute
is that they prefer giving to private
charities. many people refuse TO
come 20 the door when the solicitors
call. others put the matter of with
the most paltry excuses. Few will
admit this year that they are UNI
able To give. although many claim
as a reason for giving only a small
amount that the general prosperity
now prevailing, makes unnecessary
the raising OF a large fund
Among the stores and factories
where collections were taken up for
the benefit Of the federation and its
I3 dependent charitable OrganiZa-

GUARDSMEN AT
BORDER TO Vote
ACTION AUTHORIZED AT EXTRA
SESSION OF THE LE(sISLA-
TURE SATURDAY
LAWMAKERS ACT PROMPTLY
TRANSACT BUSIN ESS THEY ARE
SUMMONED FOR-ADJOURN
IN SIX HOURS

St. Paul, Oct. 3O.-The shortest
session of the state legislature in its
history was held Saturday, when 5000
national guardsmen on the Mexican
border were given the right to vote.
The session lasted less than six hours.
The keynote of the session was struck
by Governor Burnquist in a short mes
sage to the joint session. "Immedi-
ately enact into law the bill prepared
by the attorney general and then ad
journ," was the governors advice, and
the members received it with loud ac-
clamation. They put the bill through
in record time, enacted two small ap-
preparation bills and quit. The gov
ernor promptly signed the measures
and now they are laws. Six commits
sioners appointed by the governor will
leave late this week for Llano Grande,
Tex, with full set of ballots for
each soldier voter. Complete lists of
the men entitled to vote, with their
addresses, will be sent by wire from
Texas. After sorting them by coun-
ties, Secretary of State Julius A.
Schmahl will notify each county aud
itor of the number of voters from his
county and the auditor will send in a
corresponding number of ballots. A
large envelope will be addressed to
each soldier voter, containing ballots
for the national, state, county and
city tickets and an affidavit to be fill
ed out before one of the regimental
officers.
A hard fight was made for the a5
sent voters bill prepared by c. l..
Weeks of the attorney generals de-
partment for Senator w. A. Campbell.
The senate refused to receive the bill,
only eight votes being cast for it. The
feeling was that the time was too
short to vote intelligently on Il long
measure of such Importance, and to
put it into effect at this election. The
house received the bill and sent it to
the judiciary committee. The COM
niittee recommended it to pass, 16 to
10. When the report came in a mo-
sioit w pOoCpOilC Vic JILL
lost 81 to go, and the committee re-
port was adopted, "a to As. But to
pass the bill required a two-thirds
vote to suspend the rules, or 81 votes,
and the roll call on this was 50 to 49,,
killing the bill.
Minneapolis local politics had much
to do with the agitation for the extra
session of the legislature, just ad-
journed, and was actuated more by a
desire to minimize the mayoralty
chances of Thomas Van Lear of the
Mill City than any desire to see that
the boys at the front received their
voting rights. Van Lear is Socialist
and inasmuch as the street car fran
chise is involved in the mayoralty con-
test those who have the best interests
of the street car company at heart
are not any too strong for Van. In
connection with this statement, it may
be news to many that Mill City poll
tics are largely responsible for the
present nonpartisan law, which was
put on the statute books four years
ago. This lawawas passed for the ex-
press purpose of putting Van Lear,

was informed that the conference
had to do with an important matter
in which was interested and that the
strictest secrecy was to be observed.
I agreed, and was on hand at the
specified time-1O a. m. At that hour
my visitor made his appearance and
was admitted. Asking to be permitted
to examine the room for possible spies
he proceeded to make a thorough
search. His examination even ex-
tended to the one clothes closet in the
room, and after satisfying himself
that everything was all right he pro-
ceeded to unfold his scheme. He rep
resented, he said, an organization that
controlled large number of votes.
This particular organization, he in
formed me, had looked over my candi-
date and as he was free of religious
objection they were inclined to sup
port him. However, there was some
expense involved and if I could see
my way clear to take care of it every
thing would be all right. Naturally I
was willing, expecting that the
amount would be a nominal figure,
but imagine my surprise when he in
formed me that the price agreed up
on for delivery was $4,000. There
were number to be taken care of
and the amount named would be re-
quired. What I said would not look
we'll in print, but I am here to say
that my visitor went out faster than
he came in. I am not long on scruples,
but he sure "got my goat" This is as
my informant told it and I know him
we'll enough to stand by every word he
said.
