MEX|CANS DEFY
TRUANT OFFICER
FATHER AND MOTHER OF GIRL
WHO REFUSES TO ATTEND
SCHOOL is ORDERED TO COURT
TO EXPLAIN THREATS.

Victor Cobrrubis and his wife, both
Mexicans, have pitted themselves
against the laws OF the great state OF
Illinois i'm a hope that they will quit
victors in fight to prove that they
do not have to send their ten years
old daughter Marie to school il they
decide they would rather have her at
he me.
Besides defying the truancy regula.
tions the Mexican couple threatened
bodily harm to Miss Launia Aussem,
when she visited their home at All
Canal avenue, and attempted to per
suade them to compel their daughter
to attend school. The mother became
real menacing before Miss Aussem
firmly informed her what would hap
pen II she did not submit to the in
eyitable. Victor, aside from giving
his wife his moral support and an oc-
casional verbal thrust at Miss Aus
sem, made no attempt to use violence
upon the truant officer.
Marie. who had promised Miss Aus.
sem before the visit to her home. that
she would go back TO school, caught
the spirit of the occasion and joined
with the parents in deriding Miss Aus
sem, until that official decided to re-
sort to strenuous means of forcing her
argument to a successful termination.
Ordered Into Court.
Complaint was filed with Justice
George ,koenig charging Cobrrubis
with violation of the truancy laws.
and he will be taken before the Judge
to either admit or deny his guilt. The
statute fixes the punishment at from
$5 TO 500, and if he is found guilty $2t
would be an exceedingly light punish.
ment for his offense.
The defendant Is section hand ana
last night, when his trial was sched.
uled. he was unable to appear M
court. His hearing probably will take
place at o'clock this afternoon. Miss
Aussem and others who know the
facts In the case will be called upon
to testify against the foreigner
Marie, the girl in question, despite
her ten years and physical develop
ment. has only reached the second
grade In school. This her parents
thought sufficient education to last
her the rest of her natural life. The
mother needed her at their home and
Marie seemed perfectly satisfied with
helping with the housework when she
was given preference between that
and the schools.
To Force All Cases.
Miss Aussem has determined to
force all cases of truancy where the
blame Is traced to the parents. The
law is very exacting in this particular
and where violations are uncovered,
the offenders will be summarily dealt
with. Other cases are under investi
cation and If the goods are obtained
on tho fathers and mothers they will
be subjected to the same treatment in
store for the north side peon and his
wife.

County Clerk and his assistants will
