Judge Belden Hands Down
a Decision Overriding All
Motions Of DR.. Spalding
Against Plea of Wife.
ARMY SERVICE NO BARRIER
Judge Belden Notifies Attorneys To
Prepare For Final Division Of Estate
To Be Taken Up AS Soon AS the
Court Finds Proper Opportunity.

An order which is expected to- bring
final settlement of the divorce action
OF Mrs. Matte J. Spalding,. Blooming
ton, ILL.,, against John B. Spalding,
former health commissioner of Kenosha
and more recently captain in the med
zeal corps of the United States Army,
was filed by Judge Belden in the Cir.
cult Court this morning It directs a
division of the Spalding estate with
provision for final determination OF
the amount to be received by Mrs.
Spalding and her daughter.
The caseAis one. of the historic cases
in Kenosha county and it has been be
fore the courts of the county since 1909
when the first order granting divorce
to Mrs. Spalding was handed down.
Some time after the divorce was grant
ed DR.. Spalding remarked and later he
was in Mexico and California before
he entered the service of the United
States as a captain in the Medical
Corps. Twice since the original decree
was handed down the court has revised
the order referring to the alimony to
be paid to Mrs. Spalding and her
daughter and in answer to new com
plant of the plaintiff in the action DR..
Spalding interspersed the objection that
he was in the service Of the United
States Army and that while in the ar
my he was protected by the Soldiers
and Sailors Act.
Attempts to get service on DR.. Spald-
ing failed and a letter sent to him at
his last address at Camp Bowie in Tex
as was returned to the attorneys. I'm
der the ruling of Judge Belden he held
that the Circuit Court of Kenosha coun-
ty had full jurisdiction in the case and
over the defendant and that the de-
PENDANT was not immune on account of
his claim of protection under the Sol
diers and Sailors Act.
Under the decision of the attorneys
for Mrs. Spalding will promptly file a
motion for a final division of the estate.
It is said that Or. spalding is possessed
of considerable amount of property
but his pleas made in court have re-
|peatedly declared that he had nothing
in excess Of the salary he received as
an army officer in the United States
army. 1t is believed that further eff
forts will be made to find DR.. Spalding
before the final order of the court is
handed down but this order will not be
held up pending his reply to the com.
plant of his former wife.

Shortly after the accident some
doubt arose in the minds of police and
officials as to the Identification of the
victim when it was learned that the
holder Of the license for the death car
was Thorvold Petersen. This was all
cleared away when it was found that
Juska had recently purchased the ear
from Petersen in the same transaction
by which he became the owner of the
home on Sheridan Road and that he
had failed to have the license transfer
red to the new owner.
Hundreds of Kenoshans were drawn
to the scene of the accident on Monday
evening when the first word Of it
flashed over the city. The wrecked
car at the orders Of the railway com
pany was pulled out of the ditch at
the side of the railroad lines and taken
to the Pabst Garage late in the even
ing. .

I
author, editor and diplomat, when he
spoke to a crowd of more than four
hundred people at the Elks Club on
Sunday evening. Mr.. White was in
Kenosha as the guest of the Kenosha
| Evening News and the meeting was
one of the most unique and interesting
gatherings of Kenosha people ever held.
Mr.. White gave interesting inside
acts of the work Of the peace confer
ence and his story Of Shantung and
how Shantung happened to go to
Japan proved the feature of his inter
esting talk.
He showed that at the early sessions
of the peace conference the Japs had
shown little interest; that they had
paid no attention to the work Of the
conference up to the time they proposed
the amendment providing for racial
equality. He declared that the threat
ened bolt of the Italians from the con
ference was a bluff, but that it opened
the way or Japan to make the demand
for Shantung as the price of Japan S
acceptance of the plan Of the League
of Nations. Without the support of
Japan, the President realized that the
League of Nations covenant must
fail, = declared Mr.. White. "It was
the Gethsemaone of President Wilson at
the peace conference. He faced the
loss Of his ideal or yielding to Japan
and he finally decided that it was
worth while to yield to Japan rather
than to lose his fight for the League
of Nations.
Mr. White in a happy conversational
discussion, took up the question of
England IS Unequal Representation -
on the League of Nations. He declared
that the one vote of the United States
would count just as much as the six
votes Of England and that it was of
greatest interest to the people of this
country to bave the colonies of England
represented in the League of Nations.
He declared that these colonies would
side with the Uniteds States rather
than with England in the settlement
OF great questions.
Mr.. White declared that there was
one mitigating situation in connection
with the Shantung concession and that
was that Mr.. Wilson had provided for
an international banking syndicate to
provide for the handling Of investments
in Shantung..
In answer to questions as to whether
or not American soldiers would ever
be sent to Europe to enforce the de-
mands of the League of Nations, Mr..
White declared that the settlements to
be made by the league would be enforc-
ed by economic limitations of offending
members and that there was little like
hhood of the United States ever being
called to send troops.

DEATH REVEALS
WAR TRAGEDY

The death of Tom Wallos, who fell
dead Wednesday morning about ten
o clock, while helping to unload a car
of gravel on the Dunnebacke siding.
has brought to light one of the many
war tragedies, which have saddened
many Kenosha families of foreign
descent. Wallos was a native of Rus
STA and several years ago with three Of
his children left his wife and younger
children at the old home while he
sought fortune in America. His plan
was to bring the remaining members of
his family to the United States as soon
as possible and he had almost saved
enough money to realize his dream
when the war came and brought an end
to it all. Wallos had lived in one of
the war-stricken districts of Europe
and since the first of the war, he has
failed to receive any letters or commu-
nications of any kind from his family
In spite of money and letters sent TO
them regularly. For a year prior to
his death he had believed that his wife
and children had died as result of the
suffering attendant on the war. In Ke-
nosha Wallos is survived by two sons,
Joseph Wallos, lately returned from
service in the United States Army, and
Stanley Wallos of 116 West street. He
also has one daughter, Sophia Wallos,
Of Milwaukee. The funeral services
will be held propably. Friday morning
at the Hansen Chapel with interment
at the Green Ridge Cemetery.

WAR RELIC SHOOTS
GRENADE IN BANK
Great Danger in Handling War
Relics Proven By Incident
at Bank Of Willmar.

Some time ago Col. Cushman A.
Rice sent his father several relics
from the great World War. Among
the lot was one or two pieces which
he advised his father to keep locked
up in his room until he came home.
Among the souvenirs was a German
grenade thrOWer with a grenade at
tached. Not having the least notion
but that the "animaI'' had had its
fangs drawn" and was now but
harmless curiousity, Gov. Rice had
brought the throweg down to the bank
where he had placed it in the lobby
for the benefit of those who might be
interested to see such cOntraptiOn
Instead of grenade being shot out
from a barrel as is shell from a
Howitzer, it is placed outside of
cylindrical shaft which can be pointed
ton desired. A spring inside, when
released, operates a pin inside the
shaft which when it hits the cap in
side the grenade explodes the load
which throws the grenade. A pin on
the nose of grenade, if properly set
before the grenade is thrown, ex-

ground or any other object.
Last Wednesday shortly after noon
Peter Meyers, Ben Hedlund and others
| were inspecting the "Granatenwerfer"
| when all of sudden and most unex-
| pectedly the thing went off," Mr..
Hedlund had quite unknowingly trip
| ped the spring release.
The grenade was thrown on a slant
upward against the brick wall, passing
but few inches from Mr.. Meyers.
Making a big dent in the brick the
grenade glanced to the ceiling where
it made a hole and then fell on the
customers table breaking the plate
! glass top, but did not explode.
Had the pin in the grenade been
set the grenade would no doubt have
been discharged and the mere thought
of what might haye been the result
| makes one shiver.
| The conclusion Of the explosion was
| enough to almost stun the people in
the bank for few seconds.
Fhe men by the weapon and all in
the building, for that matter, have
reason to be thankful that the grenade
did not explode.
