MRS. FROCCE MAY
RETAIN CHILDREN
Judge Rules Mother Can Keep
Children Till August 22-Ano.
Their Hearing Set.

After hearing the testimony in the
habeas Corpus proceedings instituted
by Arthur H. Frogge, of Wolf Lake,
ILL.,, against his wife, Mrs. Parable
Frogge, for the possession of their
children, Judge Snider in a special
session of the Common Pleas Court
yesterday ordered that Mrs. Frogge
retain the children under her care
and keep them within the limits of
Cape Girardeau County. He set Au-
gust % as the day on which he would
make his final decision in the matter.
Following the hearing in the case,
Attorney Orren Wilson filed petition
for separate maintenance in behalf of
Mrs. Frogge. He asks that the court
award Mrs. Frogge a monthly allow
ance proportionate to the wealth and
income of her husband.
The habeas corpus was filed Satur-
day morning by Judge Edward D..
Hays, attorney for Frogge. He asked
that the father be given the custody
of the children, alleging that the
mother was not capable of properly
caring for them.
The couple have had a series of
trouble during their married life.
More than year ago Mrs. Frogge
filed a petition for divorce against
her husband, but the suit was dis
missed after the couple had become
reconciled. Mrs. Frogge returned to
her husband, but left him several
weeks ago. She told her attorney
that her husband would not provide
sufficiently for herself and her chill
dren and that he would not even per-
nit her to correspond with her rela-
tives who live in New Madrid.

cording to Oscar Eaker, one of his
bondsmen and his business partner,
Slattery made an effort to jump his
bond, and for that reason, he caused
his arrest. He was held in the city
Jail for several hours, and during that
time his wife attempted to furnish
bond for his release but failed. He
was taken back to Benton in company
with his wife, child and Eaker.
Slattery and Eaker had been bust
ness partners for several months in
Chaffee, where Slattery has been en-
ployed by Jake Aston as bartender.
Wednesday afternoon Slattery was
taken into custody on charges of VIC
iating the liquor laws, and was re-
leased shortly on bond signed by
Eaker.
When it became known yesterday
morning that Slattery had left Chat
fee, Eaker asked that he be re-arrest-
ed. He learned from Mrs. Slattery
that his business partner had gone to
Cape Girardeau. When Eaker saw
Mrs. Slattery was also leaving the
city ne boarded the train and followed
Mrs. Slattery. He left the train at
the Cape, and when he saw the cou-
pie meet, had Policeman Freeman ar
rest Slattery.
The latter denied that he had made
an attempt to jump his bond. He told
q reporter for The Tribune that he
had business in st. Louis and had
walked to the Cape because of the
lack Of funds.

YOUNG FARMER IS
HURT in RUNAWAY
Roy Hanebrink Thrown from
Wagon, When Team is Fright.
ened by Auto.

Returning to his home from the
Cape after selling a load Of wheat,
Roy Hanebrink, 10 years old, son
of Fred Hanebrink, living north of the
city, was badly injured when his team
became frightened at a passing auto
mobile in front of the office of the
Cape City Grocery Co. last night and
ran away. The young man was thrown
from his seat into the street.
He was picked up unconscious and
a physician was called to the scene
of the accident. After a careful ex-
animation the latter found that the
young man had been only slightly
hurt. He suffered cut on his right
elbow and above his right eye. He
was taken to a rooming house over
the Boston store, and cared for during
the night.
The team raced north on Main street
and was stopped several blocks from
the scene of the accident by Harry
Masterson, another young farmer, who
had also brought load of wheat to
the city. The two had started home
together, Young Masterson driving a
short distance ahead of his friend. He
was attracted by the pace of the ap-
preaching team before he realized
what had happened.
Young Hanebrink was soon revived
from the shock. His father was mott
fed of the accident and hurried to the
city to take care of his son. Upon
advice of his physician the father did
not remove the young man to his
home. Mrs. Hanebrink upon learning
Of the accident at late hour last
night also came to the city, but re-

PICNIC RECEIPTS
ESTIMATED AT $500
Company L to Receive Money
After Expenses of Celebration
Are Paid.

approximately $500 was realized
from the picnic given Thursday at the
Fairgrounds Park in honor of Com
pany L, according to the report made
last night by Earl G. Granting, chair
man of the Finance Committee of the
celebration. Of this sum about $11OO
had already been collected, Mr.. Gram
ling said, while the remainder was
still due from the solicitors who had
aided in the sale of the tickets, but
who had not found time to turn in
the money for these tickets.
A vote of thanks was passed by the
members of the Commercial Club for
the ladies of the Civic Improvement
Association who sacrificed their time
and did everything they could to make
the event great success. This action
was taken at the suggestion of Sena-
tor R. B. Oliver.
After all the expenses of the cele-
bration have been paid the remaining
sum will be turned to the local COM
pany of the Sixth regiment. 1t is
planned to provide for headquarters
for the members of the company who
live outside the city, and who will be
compelled to live in the city before
the regiment is taken into the train
ing camp. 1t is believed that the regi-
ment will depart early Monday morn
ing, but no official notice of the hour
of leaving has been received as yet by
Capt. Wilson Balm, in charge of the
local company.
That the Cape company will be con-
verified into machine gun unit was
learned by Capt. Balm while in St.
Louis during the week. Owing to this
change, third commissioned officer
will have to be elected for the COM
pany. r. d. Harrison, first sergeant
Of the local company, has been sug-
gested candidate for the new Office
Lieutenants Howard Frissell and
Harry Gaines will retain their ranks,
as will Capt. Balm. They will be re-
quired, however, to pass an exanina-
ton under the direction of Federal
officer at the end of their training
course, which will last from three to
six months.
Orders have been issued by Capt.
Balm to have the company mobilize at
the provisional armory at the West
End Hall Sunday morning. After the
mobilization the men will be held in
readiness to move at a moments no.
tice. 1t is expected that the regiment
will be taken into the State training
camp during he earlier part of the
week, thence to the training camp in
Oklahoma, to which the Missouri Ma
tional Guard has been assigned.

Wife LIVED
With OTHER men
Arthur Byous Sues Wife for Dr.
v0rce-Wants Custody of
Two Children.

Charging his wife with desertion
ami associating with another man and
his sons, Arthur Byous, living at 532
College street, yesterday filed petit
ton for divorce in the Common Pleas
Court, asking for the custody of his
two children, Pulaski, 6 year old, and
Myrtle, years old. The couple were
married in October, 1911, according to
the petition, and lived together till
February, 1917, when the wife left
him, taking their two children with
her to live with one Boswell, a farmer,
residing near Wolf Lake, Ill.
Two weeks ago the petition cites,
Mrs. Byous returned to her husband
bringing with her the two children.
She agreed to live with him again, the
petition says, but failed to keep her
promise. Since that time, Byous as
serts in his petition, his wife "has con-
Quoted herself in a most unbecoming
manner, spending her time automobile
riding, drinking, swearing and carous-
ing until late at night"
The couple lived together only a
week after Mrs. Byous returned from
Illinois. She has since been rooming
at IL South Spanish street. Her hus-
band, who is employed by the Carver
Lumber Co., has called his mother
from Hayti, his former home, to take
care of the two children.

z FRISCO TRAINS
TO BE CUT OFF
SUNDAY MORNING
Passenger Trains Between
Chaffee and st, Louis Dis
continued.
WILL RUN BETWEEN ST.
LOUIS AND ST. MARY'S
Frisco Leaves Cape With Only
Four Passenger Grains During
the Day.

The Frisco trains running between
Chaffee and st. Louis will make their
last trip Sunday morning and even
ing, respectively. The Tribune learn
ed last night. Beginning that day the
two trains will have their terminus at
St. Mary's curtailing the heavy pas
senger service between st. Louis and
the Cape.
The trains to be discontinued next
Sunday are known as the Chaffee ac-
commodation trains. The one leaves
the Cape at 6:15 o'clock in the morn
ing, running to st. Louis, while the
other coming from st. Louis arrives
here at 10:4O o'clock in the evening.
In the future the trains will run only
between st. Mary's and St. Louis, the
center point between st. Louis and the
Cape.
Frisco officials have announced that
the curtailing of the passenger serv-
ice would be necessary in order to
give the Government better service.
An attempt to reduce the number of
passenger trains has been made sew
eral times by the Frisco, but through
the efforts of Mayor Hirsch and sew
eral prominent business men of the
city the plan was foiled.
More than a month ago the Frisco
officials were called before the Public
Service Commission, which met in St.
Louis, to show reason why these
changes should be made, and after
hearing the arguments of the rail-
road representatives and the reasons
offered by the city against the discon-
tinuance of these trains, the Public
Service Commission ordered the rail-
road to retain these trains.
The railroad officials say they can
not render efficient service to the Gov
eminent during war time if they are
forced to retain the full schedule az
ranged for peace time. Many cars,
they say will be needed for the ship
ment of Government orders, and many
coaches for the accommodation of the
soldiers.
For that reason, they claimed, they
must reduce the number of trains now
maintained for the public. During the
hearing before the Public Service
Commission in St. Louis more than
a month ago, it developed that the
Frisco had no shipments for the Gov
eminent from this section Of the State,
at least no unusually large consign-
ments, and therefore their request was
denied.
The discontinuance Of these trains
will leave four on the regular schedule
between the Cape and st. Louis, leav-
ing a period of twelve hours between
each train running in the same d.
rection. The trains running north are
scheduled at S:15 in the morning and
2:45 in the afternoon, while the trains
arrive from st. Louis at 1:2O in the
morning and 1850 in the afternoon.
