GAYNOR'S DAUGHTER
SUES FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. Harry K. Vingut Alleges
Cruelty and Failure to Provide.
Says He Drinks to Excess

Reno, Nevada, July 12.-Basing her
application on allegations of "extreme
cruelty and failure to provide" Mrs.
Harry X Vingut, daughter of the late
Mayor William ]. Gaynor, has filed
suit in the district court here asking
for a divorce
Mrs. Vingut's action was filed
Wednesday. Among the allegations she
makes concerning Mr.. Vingut is the
statement that since their marriage he
has developed a strong taste for liquor.
She states that shortly after their mar
riage in Wilmington, Del, in 1910, this
taste on the part of Mr.. Vingut began
to show itself, and followed until she
was forced to take steps to release her
self from their marriage contract. Mrs.
Ningut says her husband was under the
influence Of liquor most of the time.
Among other statements, Mrs. Vingut
says in her complaint that she procured
the services Of a physician in order to
help her husband release himself from
the drink habit. To the physician, says
Mrs. Vingut, he confessed to drinking
quart of whisky every day.
She declares that on repeated occa
sions he told her he wanted her to leave
him, and that he took no interest in
their home and showed no affection to
ward herself.
Mrs. Vingut says that on several oc
casions her husband commented OH heI

enough, but you always come back"
She says that their relations finally

MAY ABANDON PLAN II
OF TRYING KAISER
British Newspapers outspoken
Against Placing Former En-
peror Before Jury
URGE DUTCH TO KEEP HIM

London. July 12.-Predictions that
the project to bring the former Ger
man emperor to trial in England will
be abandoned are growing in view Of the
almost unanimous opposition Of the
newspapers of all parties. !
Virtually all the leading papers, with
the exception Of the Northcliffe press.
are denouncing the plan.
The Northcliffe papers have taken Nc
stand in the matter, but print many
letters from prominent persons oppos-
ing the trial. The influential weekly
reviews all oppose or deride the project
of bringing the former emperor from
Holland
Walter Runciman. former member Of
the cabinet. writes: Feeling in this
country is justifably bitter against the
kaiser. Indeed. it is so bitter that the
public might take the law into its own
hands and lynch him."
The Saturday Review says: "1t Is
a mistake Of taste, want Of tact.
London is the last place in the world
that ought to have been chosen, first,
because the English are the chief enc
mics of the Germans, according to the
Germans; secondly. because London Is
the court OF William Hohenzollerp's
first cousin and the home of his illus
tlous grandmother; thirdly, because
William has often been our guest. King
George and the emperor must in their
younger days have lived in some in
timacy.'
The new statesman says: LET US
hope that the Dutch government will
cut the knot for us and save US from
the blunder of reinstating the last of the
IIohenzollcrns in the hearts of his dis
illusionized fellow countrymen.

HERE'S SOLUTION FOR
HOUSE MAID PROBLEM
(By United Press. J

St. Paul, Sept, :12::-The house
maid should not live in the home Of
her employer and SHOULD not work
more than nine: holirs q daylight
hours being The Preferable maximum
according 70 Eliza' M sEvans, secfez
tary OF the. Minnesota Minimum
Wage commission.
1.-THE house maid problem would
be solved If employer would cut out
long hours and. unreasonable Pc
mands," Miss Evans told the United
Press. ga.
MANY suggestions have been made
for solving the house maid problem,
but l don't believe the problem ever
will be solved until employers learn
to give their help, regular hours and
fair pay.
1T is so easy, after the maids day
should have ended, for the employer
to call her from her room in the
house and ask her to do some little
thing or many things. For this rea-
son | believe it would be much better
for the house maid to live elsewhere
than with the employer. When her
days work is done she would go to
her own home and report at a specl-
fed hour next morning.
