HAD THREE WIVES
Preacher With Mixed Domestic
Affairs Freed From "Pen."
Served Two Years for Violation
of "White Slave" Law.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 10.-Rev.
James Morrison Darnell, the Chicago
Unitarian minister, who was SEN
fenced to two years in the federal pen
itentiary here in 1915 on a white slave
charge was released today after hav-
ing completed his sentence.
Darnell has been employed as head
nurse and also worked in the prison
laundry. The case of Darrell first
came to public notice when he re-
January IL, 1915, after his marriage
with Miss Doris Vaughn of Chicago.
Previous to this time he had lived in
KenoSha with a girl of Wouatonna
Mimi, whom he had introduced in
Kenosha church and social circles as
his wife The girl became the mother
of a child, which during the develop
ments OF the case, Darnell said was
not his.
Ministers asked that the case be in
vestigated. The girls parents ! eclared
that Darnell had married their daugh-
ter in October, 1913, at Hammond
Ind. Darnell admitted only a com
mon law" marriage with her. Dur
ing the investigation a first wife
Ethel Spurgeon Darnell of Abingdon
Ill, was found, who had been legally
married to the minister but had had
the marriage annulled
Following the exposure of Darnell
he was arrested in Chicago. He was
taken to Milwaukee in March of 1915
to stand trial before the federal Judge
there for violation of the Mann act
He was found guilty and was SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth.

FARRELL AT HEAD
Named Chairman War Boards
District Information Bureau.
Will Look After Organizations
News in Kansas, Missouri.
EXPLAINS CAR SITUATION
Government Had Nothing To
Do With Alternating Shortage.
z. G. Hopkins, Former TOpekan,
Head of st. Louis District.

To facilitate the work it has in
hand, the railroads war board at
Washington divided the railways of
the United States into departments
which correspond with the govern
ments military divisions. This part
of the country is in the central de-
partment, and R. H. Ashton, presi-
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company, is chairman. The
departmental territory now has been
sub-divided for work by car service
commissions and information COM
mitteeS.
Mr.. Ashton has just announced an
information committee for a district
comprising Kansas and northern Mis-
souri,, with J. F. farrell of the Santa
Fe as chairman. Mr.. JarralPs chore
is to furnish newspapers, chambers of
commerce and other institutions in
terested, information about what the
war board is doing to meet the coun-
trys unprecedented transportation
needs.
THE most important thing the rail-
roads. thru the war board, are doing
to relieve car shortage troubles, is
sending freight cars where they are
most needed, regardless of owner ship"
Mr.. farrell said. 1.-The next most i'm
portant thing they are doing is bring
ing about cooperation of shippers iii
loading to city, or as nearly so
as possible. Notwithstanding the
rush of government material ana sup
plies, and the heavy commercial traf-
fic, the car shortage has been reduced
more than 10 per cent since May 1.
Roads Run Own Show.
1T has been stated by some public
men who generally are reliable, in
Guiding a few editors, that the in
creased efficiency in railway service
is due to the government taking over
the railroads for the period of the
war Mr.. farrell added. How in the
world anybody ever got the notion
that the government has taken over
the railroads is beyond me. The rail-
roads, thru a committee of their ex-
ecutives, volunteered to handle the
transportation problem. The govern
ment promptly accepted the offer, and
told the railroads to go to it. All the
lines, having resolved to merge their
merely individual and competitive ac-
tivities in the effort to produce a max
imum of transportation efficiency,
created the war board of five mem
bers, to work with the government,
and direct the operation of the rail-

A BLOODY STRUGGLE
Italy-Austro Battle Before Gorilla
Goes on undated.

Udine, Sept. 10.-The fight against
the heights northeast of Gorilla con-
tinues night and day. during good and
bad weather. The continuous contest
seems to the observer to be animated
by superhuman force, the Italians and
the Austrians almost constantly en-
gaging in hand to hand encounters.
A strange situation is brought about
by the two forces, virtually equal in
numbers, strength and determination,
struggling for supremacy in a circum-
scribed arc where it is impossible for
either side to employ more men or
artillery.
Gaps in the ranks are instantly filled
and thus the contending forces re-
main so balanced that victory APP
parently is impossible to either side.
The fireceness of the struggle is
proved by the fact that in twelve
hours the Italians attacked the enemy
five times.
