ALIMONY CLUB ADJOURNS

New York. Sept New York's
famous "Alimony club passed into
history at midnight last night and
thousands OF Stacker husbands who
fancied themselves immuniZed from
almony payments by sojourn at the
club" in Ludlow street Jail, again
will face the possibility of imprison-
ment.
The "Alimony club" was made pos
sible by law providing that when a
man refused to pay alimony he should
be committed to Jail for a period of not
more than six months. Thereafter he
was immune from further payments or
molestation.
Under an amendment to the code OF
civil procedure, however, effective at
midnight last night, the husband who
refuses to obey a supreme court order
for alimony payment faces possible
life Imprisonment
The amended law provides that the
delinquent husband may be jailed for
contempt of court for every failure to
pay instailments as ordered by the
court. He may be punished for con-
tempt time after time-until he dies or
reforms.

WHO PLUMB is
Who is this man Plumb, whit

Who Is this man Plumb, who
has set the whole country talk
ing about the railroad organi-
cation plan that bears his
name?
The railroad owners call him
bolshevist, socialist and worse
things.
But the surprising thing
about him is that he isn't any
of those things-he's a corpo-
ration attorney.
He got his experience in rail-
reading from the side of the
big railroad corporations, not
from the side of labor, as might
be expected.
He was born in 1855 In
Streator, H., and graduated
from Oberlin and Harvard and
the Northwestern university
law school, completing his edu-
cation in 1898.
Right away he started out as
a corporation lawyer in Chi
cago. practicing for two years,
and finally becoming president.
and general manager of two
street car lines.
Then he became interested in
the theory Of railway valuation,
and spent several years In the
study of constitutional debates
on charter provisions, stock Is
sues, etc. Probably no man in
the country, therefore, Is bet
ter posted on this subject than
he, because no man ever waded
through so many reports and
legal documents.
He served as special counsel
for the state of Illinois In pros
ecuting a case against the Chi
cago elevated lines, and later
acted for the city against the
Peoples Gaslight and Coke
company.
Then the railway brother
hoods heard of him and asked
him to appear for them In some
Of their cases. AS a result he
became general counsel for the
four railway employees broth
erhoods, embracing nearly all
the organized railroad en-
ployes of the United States.
He worked out the so-called
Plumb plan for Matchmaking
the railroads with the expe-
rience, not OF a labor agitator,
but of man on the other Side
of the fence. He was not ia
miliar with the British labor
mems naturalization plans; he
and he alone evolved the Plumb
plan as a purely American
mind trying to apply American
principles to the democratiza-
ton of industry.

dustry in saving and buying govern
ment securities
1.-THE receipt Of this wire means
that the saving division will not be
allowed to supply hand grenade banks
to the thousands of banks and merch-
ants in the Eleventh federal reserve
district. which ordered them for dis
trihution as rewards to the children
and adults saving and investing their
money in United States government
war savings stamps and registered
treasury savings certificates" Mr..
Smith said.
Il am very keenly disappointed, as
will be the bankers of the state and
many thousands of persons who desire
to become the possessors of one of
these rare and unique war souvenirs
he said.
Certificates of achievement, signed
by the secretary himself viii be for
warded to those who would have been
entitled to receive q hand grenade
savings bank.
At the savings division today the
task of returning to the banks and
merchants the remittances which
they made to the treasury department
TO cover the shipping costs of hand
grenades ordered by them was begun.
Mr.. Smith announced today that
the sale of War Savings Stamps,
Thrift Stamps and the new Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates has in
creased materially. This is due. he
points out. to the fact that the crops
are now being harvested and sold and
thousands of persons are investing
their savings or a portion of their
savings, in these securities.
