Domestic Shortage A.

the legal columns of The State Journal
tonight.
Domestic Shortage Acute.
With snow and zero weather sched-
uled for tonight and tomorrow. the
fuel situation in Topeka today was the
most serious since the beginning of the
miners strike.
The acute situation in many Topeka
homes is now second only to the cri-
sis faced by local coal-burning fac
tories and steam plants. Dealers could
give no relief.
Plants Limit Output.
So far no industries have been re-
ported as shut down. altho some are
limiting their activities. The City Ice
company quit the manufacture of ice
several days ago and are taking care
of their local trade only.
There is a large quantity of fuel oil
in the city, it is said, SO oil burning
plants are not seriously affected The
installation of oil burners in place of
coal engines would cost the average
steam plant several thousand dollars,
however. 1t is claimed.

a few days after their marriage has

feelings of James Ford. jr., one OF

earning capacity has been cut to al
most nothing. That is the staten ent

Topeka, to win his love and his name.
They lived as man and wife only one
day, Ford states in his petition, and
then she resumed her work as tele-
graph operator at HartIand. a neigh
boring town.
Ford in 2 lengthy petition tells Of
the JOY and pride with which he re-
turned to Syracuse after the wedding
and rented rooms and gathered furni-
ture for their future home. He told
of bringing his wife TO Syracuse to
look ct their apartments. A goodbye
kiss and she went back to Hartlandr
The next day a letter arrived.
Letter of Lost Love.
The letter, a copy of which is at
tached to the petition, read, in part:
Dear james:
don't want to ever see you again
and please don't ever try TO write or
come to see me. You might as well
release me from my VOW, for l VIII
never live with you as L don't love you
enough, and that is the way Of 1t now.
The youth described his bitter dis
appointment in losing the love he bore
for the girl, who. he claims. did as
much wooing in the courtship as he
did. He told of his inability to pursue
his auto accessory business with sue
cess and the dwindling of the cash re-
ceipts each day. One rebuff after an
other met his efforts at a reconc1l1a-
ton the youth claims in the petition,
and finally, he admitted, he published
paid advertisements in newspapers
that he would not be held responsible
for his wifes debts.
Young Ford tells the court that his
share in the $35 900 estate which was
mentioned in his wife's petition is tied
up in litigation which may continue
for years and that the dwindling busl-
ness and an automobile are his only as
sets. He demands a divorce obso-
luteIy freeing him from moral or
financial obligations and asks that his
wife be restored to her maiden name
of Mary A. Grooms. Ford served with
the coiors in France. Mrs. Ford is
living with an aunt in Topeka.
