Babe Ruth slammed out his fourth
home run in three days yesterday and
ran his total of four-baSe clouts up to
20. The worlds record for home runs
in the majors was made by John Free
man of Washington in 1899. He drove
out 25 circuit swats. Ruth has about
25 more games in which to beat this
record.
Rain played havoc with athletic
contests in the east yesterday. The
first game of scheduled double

was rained out. The Giants and Pi-
rates and the Braves and Cubs also
had an off-day on account OF j..
Pluvius' intercession.
Other sport events that were rained
out were the Grand circuit races at
Boston, the national lawn tennis sin
giles at Forest Hills and the national

This being ladies day" at Rick

Chief Of Police Eberstein Mon
day announced that he would file
charges against Detectives Paul B.
Sutton and L. H. Stolley in time for

terday and set a time for hearing.
The men are suspended pending

The chief yesterday stated that he
will await the return of ]. D. Ringer,

lnasmuch as no one in the city

commissioner, it is equally uncertain
when the chief will file the charges
against these detectives, whom the

charged with "incompetency ~and
conduct unbecoming police officers"

ORDER
RECALLS OMAHA
SOCIETY DIVORCE
Marital Troubles of King
Family Made Good
Gossip Here.

An Omaha society. divorce OF six
years ago was brought to promi-
hence again when an order was
made yesterday by District Judge
Troup reviving the order for ali
mony made in decree of divorce
granted to Mrs. Dorothy King,
from Leslie King, January %, 1914.
The Kings were very prominent
socially, especially in the Field
club set. Mr.. King was general
manager Of the Omaha Mill and
Storage company, and a member
of various corporations. He is a
brother of Mrs. D. c. Bradford.
Rumors Started Early.
He married Dorothy A. Gardner
Of Chicago, September 7, 1912, and
brought her, after their honeymoon,
to live in handsome home at 1902
Woolworth avenue.
Almost Immediately the rumors OF
domestic trouble began to circulate
among the society folk. Mr.. King
filed suit for divorce August 20, 1918,
that his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Eli Gardner of Chicago, was spend
ing too much time in his home and
influencing his wife against him. He
finally applied for an Injunction tc
keep his mother-in-law from visiting
his home. s
The war continued with the filing
of cross-petition by Mrs. King in
district court October 20, 1913. She
told a tale of dreadful cruelty. A
month after they were married, she
said, Mr.. King slapped her in the
Multonomah hotel, Portland, Orc.
A short time later, at the Lanka-
sham hotel in Los Angeles, he &C.
cused her of flirting.
Returned to Her Parents.
When they returned to Omaha,
she said she was compelled to live
at her husbands fathers home.
Once, she said, her husband packed
her trunks and told her to get out.
She returned to her parents in Chi
cago, where he appeared few days
later and asked her to return to
Omaha. Again, she alleged he tore
up everything in their apartment.
The order made yesterday by
Judge Troup commands payment of
$500 balance of the alimony award
ed Mrs. King when she was granted
a divorce on her cross-petition.

HOME BUILDING
CAMP A|CN PLAN

Shortage Of Houses Delaying
Growth Of City, Industrial
Manager Says In
Report.

A building campaign to relieve the
'erions shortage of dwelling places
viii be launched by the industrial
bureau of the Chamber of Com
merce in the near future.
]. M. Gillian, manager of the in
dustrial bureau, has been conduct
ing a canvass among Omaha real
tors and building and loan associa-
tions and discovered that it would
be necessary to erect 1870 new
homes in the city to keep pace with
the normal growth of the city.
a special committee on home
building has been appointed by the
industrial committee of the Cham
Der OF Commerce to investigate this
serious shortage and plan some eff
tcctive campaign to secure the
proper amount Of building during
the next year.
Realtors say that the growth of
the city rests to Large extent witt,
the ability of the city to furnish
housing capacity. 1t is also neces-
sary to produce sites and furnish
suitable buildings for new industrial
concerns, and the location here of
large concerns has been seriously
deferred by the lack of available
buildings, it is said. The industrial
bureau of the Chamber has repeat
edly emphasized the need of ware
house room with trackage facilities
and is now taking steps to increase
such facilities.
In written report on the situa-
ton Manager Gillian stated that in
1914, 1915 and 1916 there were 400
houses built in Omaha, exclusive of
apartment buildings. In 1917, 1918
and 1919 there were but 2,400 houses
erected, exclusive of apartments, the
report says.
Mr.. Gillian is now preparing an
extensive report on the various,
classes of houses, as to cost and
size, that will be required during
the next year. Active steps will be
taken to remedy the shortage of this
year and to erect sufficient num-
Der the coming year, he SAYS.
A. III. Thomas, of the publicity
bureau of the chamber, after can
vass of the larger cities of the coun-
fy, reported that while there was
4 great shortage of housing facili-
ties in Omaha, the shortage was no
greater than elsewhere.
