Attempt to Win Back
Wife Ends in Arrest on
Intoxication Charge

An attempt to win back the love
of his wife by L. NJ. Luther OF the
Wellington Inn, Sunday evening, re-
suited in his arrest on a charge of
intoxication. Mr.. Luther states that
after a quarrel yesterday morning
his wife deserted him, going to the
home of her mother, Mrs. w. NJ.
Ellsworth of the Drake court.
Il went up to the door" de-
clared Mr.. Luther, land raped. My
wife's mother, Mrs. w. M. Ellis
worth, answered, and when she saw
me she closed the door. She must
have called the police station, be-
cause some officers came out and
arrested me-"
Mr.. Luther, who is a livestock
specultor, denies he was drunk. He
says his wife filed a divorce suit
against him on January 4, shortly
after he received his discharge
from the army, but dropped it.
Since, they have lived in peace until
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Luther now states he may
file a divorce suit himself. He was
released on bond shortly after his
arrest

1--WE made a number of inquiries
concerning the whereabouts of
both boys. The first trace of Fred
was found at Fort Des Moines,
where he was a soldier in 1910. We
have received number of replies to
our inquiries which concern the pri-

Treated Unjustly.
1T is a source of keen regret to
me that Mrs. Walters and the other
women of the American War Moth
ers have seen fit to cast reflection
on the work of the Red Cross. We
have been treated unjustly. The
published statements have been I'M
fair. We have not neglected our
duty in this matter l shall not
accuse any one. | will say, however,
if there has been any irregularity
or seeming neglect in the case, the
Red Cross positively is not to
blame.
"The spirit which inspires the Ell
forts of our organization most GER
tainly would prompt us to respond
to a case concerning the mother of
one of our soldiers with eagerness,
with respect and with all of the aid
and assistance at our command. To
my mind this is a most unfortunate
affair. Our hearts go out to the
sons of this mother, and we hope
they will be spared the pain of hear
ing the sad and unpleasant details
of their mothers death and burial.
"Those who know something Of
the work we are doing realize the
extent of the undertaking and the
results we have accomplished"
Since its organization in April,
1917, the local service station of the
Red Cross has made more than
$4,000 visits and rendered material
assistance in $500 cases. During
January aid was given in 1887 cases,
Mrs. Wilhelm declared.

REPUBLICANS
FILL PLEDGES
IN LEGISLATURE
will Have Made Good on
Every Promise When Mill
Stops Grinding; Recon-
mendatiOn Approved.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March with less than
half Of the legislative session over,
if it should run as long as in past
years, the republican party has re-
deemed over hall of its platform
pledges and bills are now pending
in the house and senate covering
every other pledge which the party
made to the people.
When the legislative mills stop
grinding the first legislature in 10
years in which the republicans have
had a working majority in both
branches, will wind up their labors
after having made good every
promise made during the campaign.
Moreover, the legislature will es-
tablish the record of making good
practically every recommendation
made by Governor McKelvie in his
message to legislature.
Pledges Fulfilled.
Two platform pledges we're full
filled before the end OF the second
week They were:
Ratification Of the national pro
hibitory amendment.
Adoption of a joint resolution
asking congress to pass the national
equal suffrage law. The republican
platform contained a plank favoring
equal suffrage. There is now a bill
pending in the senate extending the
partial suffrage measure passed by
the 1917 legislature, but it is in TIE
form of a constitutional amendment
and suffrage leaders in the state arc
watching the outcome of the tlght
in the United States senate before
expressing their wishes with regard
to the enactment of this bill.
With the passage of the new state
capitol bill one of Governor Nickel
vie's principal recommendation was
approved. The republican state
platform did not touch upon the
question of q new capitol but Gov
ernor McKelvie urged it most
strongly in his message to the law
makers. ..
Foreign Language.
With regard to the question of
foreign language instructions in the
public and private schools and the
problems of Americanization the
legislature has redeemed every
pledge made in the platform in the
passage of the Siman bill.
Good roads legislation, incorpor-
ated in three bills which are still in
the committee, but which it is a tor
gone conclusion, will pass both
branches without difficulty. will full
fill the party's promises in all par
ticulars.
The governors civil code admins
tration bill, which will also pass
both branches of the legislature, will
complete the platform Of the party.
