O.. Tlmes snecinl Serrlce .

News Times Special Service:
ELKHART. March 2I.-Much to
his sorrow, Edward G. Korbeck, ma
chinist. had his day in court" Tues
day when he faced ccnsecutively
statutory charge in police court, and
in the superior court a charge Of
wife desertion and suit filed by
his wife, May Korbeck, for divorce.
To both criminal charges Kor-
beck late Tuesday pleaded guilty.

the plea Of guilty in the wife deser-
ton charge was made, withheld SEN
tence on the condition that the de-
PENDANT pay TO the clerk of the court
SO per week. each week until fur
Their ordered, for the support of his
wife. commencing on April 3.
In police court, where Atty. Will
lard Chester presided as special
judge. Korbeck Jared even worse.
Upon his plea of guilty to the statu-
tory charge in which a woman who
gave her name as Jessie Vance of
Indianapolis was involved, Korbeck
drew a sentence OF six months in
the state penal farm, and was fined
81 and costs.
The only silver lining 20 the cloud.
so far as Korbeck could see il. was
the final dismissal of the divorce
suit.
Woman Also Sentenced.
The Vance woman was tried on
the charge OF having been associat-
ed with Korbeck in a room at the
Truck hotel, where the couple was
arrested last Thursday night. Spec
ial Judge Chester, after hearing the
evidence. concluded that the woman
was guilty. He sentenced her 20 six
months in the correctional depart
ment Of the woman's prison at In
dianapolis, and gave her a nominal
fine OF 81 and costs.
According TO statements made by
Mrs. Korbeck, who was the prose-
cutting witness against the Vance
woman. she has been endeavoring
for a number of years TO break up
her husbands Illicit love affair. Two
years ago Korbeck came TO Elkhart
from Chicago. He was followed soon
after by Jessie Vance, who. it was
shown. lived with him at the Lud-
wig flats. w. Lexington av.. for
about one year. Then Mrs. Korbeck
came TO the city and her husband
returned to her. 1t was while they
were living together that the Vance
woman is alleged to have broken
into their apartments, purloining
therefrom a handbag which she
filed with a choice selection OF Mrs.
KOrbeck's gowns and personal eff
fects
Upon her promise TO desist in her
attentions TO Korbeck. the case
against Miss Vance for larceny was
not prosecuted. Jessie thereup left
the city, but like the proverbial bad
penny. returned just in time to run
atilt the police crusade which is be-
ing conducted with a view TO stop
ping the use of hotels and room
ing houses for questionable pur-
poses.

At a meeting OF the council An
thony Deahl appeared as counsel for
the Chicago, South Bend and North
ern Indiana Railway Co and asked
that additional time be granted the
company in which to submit figures
going TO show that the Goshen city
lines are being operated at loss and
that the company should not be re-
quired TO do away with the system
of operating cars with one man.
Supt. Hardy OF the company. Mr..
Deahl stated. had been called 70
New York II was agreed to con-
tinue the matter until April 2, at
which time the next regular council
meeting will be held. Mr.. Deanl
said that the Goshen city car lines
are being operated at a heavy loss
and that while he was not author
lied to make such a proposition. he
understood that rather than place
motormen and conductors on the
cars the company would prefer to
give the property to the city.
Several weeks ago, on motion of
Councilman Nymeyer. the city clerk
was ordered TO notify the Chicago,
South Bend and Northern Indiana
Co. TO at once provide conductors
FOR Goshen city cars. For about
two years what have been called
"pay-as- you enter" cars have been
operated here, each car having but
one mana motorman. Claim was
made by Councilman Nymeyer and
others that the system is dangerous
and that some accidents had re-
suited. Last night Atty. Deahl said
Supt Hardy was preparing COM
plete statement. which it is be-
lieved, will convince the council that
il will be an injustice to require the
company to furnish conductors.

Where their duty may lead them
when actual hOstilities begin, is pure

interesting information. just such as
the American people are asking for to-
day.
me night meeting in TOmlinson hall
at which Vice-President Thomas R.
Marshall will speak, is expected to be
record breaker in point of attendance.
The fact that the vice-president comes
direct from the national capitol where
he has had every opportunity to learn
first handed of the war plans and de-
veloDments of the United States, as
part of the administration official
family, makes his coming at this time,
a special compliment to his fellow
Hoosiers who are doubly anxious to
hear him in this connection.
The indianapolis committee of bust
ness men who voluntarily pledged
their unlimited support to the plans Of
the state council Of defense in all its
plans for the conference, and made a
tangible manifestation of sincerity by
underwriting the entire cost of the ap-
pearance here of Sousa's Marine band
of 312 pieces. amounting to more than
$4,000, met Monday and assured the
council that every detail of the neces-
sary program for the bands visit and
reception, as well as it's public appear
ance in Indianapolis, as part of the
war conference program, had been
properly looked for.

WAR IS help
TO D. CUPID

LONDON, Dec. 11-"Crudely stated
the war has resulted in 100000 peo-
pie in the United Kingdom being mar
ried between August, 1914, and June
1917, who in the ordinary course
would not have married. says Sir
Bernard Ma.let, president of Statisti-
cal Society.
The loss Of potential lives to the
belligerent countries by the decrease
IN number of children born was per-
haps the most important effect upon
vital statistics produced by the war,
he said. In births the United King
dom had suffered far less than Ger
many and Hungary, the United King
dom having lost 10000 per each mill
ion Of the population, Germany 10000
and Hungary 10000 per million.
The infant mortality in the summer
of 1917 appeared to have been very
high in several German cities, and the
German rate all through remained at
some so percent higher than in Eng
land.
An alteration in the sex ratio of
birth appeared to be established by
the figures of the United Kingdom,
the proportion of males having noti-
ceably increased. Contrary to eXpec-
tations the war had produced no ef-
feet on the figures of illegitimate
births.
