WEST SIDE WOMAN
SAYS HUSBAND MADE
ATTEMPT ON HER LIFE

Mrs. Rachael Emerich, lOCJ Doug
lass street has started a suit for di-
vorcc from her husband, Edward En-
erich in the Circuit Court. charging
cruelty and threats to take her life,
which she says failed in execution by
the timely interference Of her son
Sheldon, aged IS. The bill was filed
b. Attorney Lee O'Neil Browne on
Tuesday morning, but by order OF
Judge Edgar Illdrcdge was suppressed
until service could be had on the de-
fendant.
The wife charges her husband with
cruelty OF number OF occasions, al
leging that in the fall of 1900, not
long after they were married he
struck her on the head and chOked
her. In 1910 she alleges he threw
her to the floor and kicked her caus-
ing a hemorrhage OF the lung by pres
sure of his foot, and that some of her
ribs were dislocatcd or pressed ont Of
place.
In April. 1919, she claims he threat
ened to strike and kill her with a
heavy iron poker. and only the timely
interference of their son prevented
him from carrying ont his threats.
Her bill states that they were mar
ried May Il, 1909 i'll I.eonore. She
asks the custody of the three child
rem, Sheldon Sherman aged 10. Eve
lyn. AGED II and William aged s, and
for alimony for their care. An In
junction was secured by the wife,
prohibiting the husband from dispos-
ing of a home he oWls on Douglass
street.

SOLDIER BONUS
is EXPECTED OF
1 NEXT CONGRESS
Republican Majorities Be
lieved to Indicate Ger
tainty of Success.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT TEST
Provision Made by Individual
States Believed to Have r
Strong Effect.

With the pledged support Of Presi-
dent-elect Harding favorable commit
ments on the part of many OF the
newly elected Senator'S. and the House
Of Representatives already on record
In favor of soldiers bonus, pro-
porents OF the measure here are pre-
dieting success IN tho Sixty seventh
Congress. Their confidence is strength
ened by the conviction that the Re-
publicans will seek the first oppor-
tunity to show their resentmsnt of the
Democratic campaign charge that the
passage OF the bonus bill through the
House last June VOC merely an IN
sincere play for the soldier vote
Another factor counted upon most
strongly is the aid of former service
men themselves in the next Congress,
upwards of twenty-five former soldiers
having been elected to the House. ac-
cording to the legislative committee OF
the American Legion. while only three
failed of reelection: Charles Pope Caid-
well CD. New York: Jacob L. Milllgan
CD. Missouri and King Swope (R.) i,
Kentucky.
The fact that the people OF New York
and several other States went on record
In favor of bond issues for the payment
OF compensation TO those who served In
the war is counted upon TO have strong
effect In Washington as an indication
of popular sentiment
The argument will undoubtedly be
raised that the so!diers should be salts
ned with what the States have done for
them, but 1t will be answerel with the
contention that the generosity of lndi-
vidual States Will probably not be man
Tested by ALL and that. II anything is
due the veterans, the reward should be
uniform throughout the country. 1t will
be urged moreover. that the States with
their limited sources Of revenue cannot
be expected to raise the large sum OF
money contemplated in the proposed
"dollar-a-day" compensation to be paid
by the nation at large.
State aid for the soldier has taken
many forms, from the opening OF sol
dlers' homes to veterans of the world
war to the important one Of actual cash
In hand. Tke nine States paying cash
bonuses are: Massachusetts. Minnesota,
New Hampshire. Wisconsin. New York.
New Jersey. Vermont. Washington.
Rhode Island. This compensation Is
without any strings attached as to the
manner in which the money is to be

PLAN HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL.
 LEAGUE FOR CONNECr

Plans are being made to ocsan;ze 6 basketball league among the high. schools of Connecticut according to 2 letter le- ceived by the local high school from the Wesleyan University Alumni Council this week. It is the plan of the council, with the help of the school athletic direc- tors, to organize the schools of the state into four leagues. The schools in eac1 league will play for the championship Of their section, and the league c.Iampi0ps, in turn, will play for the state title.
 The purpose of the league is not pri- marily to secure the Connecticut cham pionship, however, but rather: ITO pro- vide a stimulus for the organization of basketball teams under proper supervis- ion. to improve the supervision of ath- letics in the schools, especially as .relat- ing to basketball, and to introduce uni form rules and standards of eligS5ility i; St6 improve the tseffer5tf standards of sportsmanship, and to raise Nthe general moral tone of athletic competition and lastly to further the physical training of large groups of boys under better con- ditions than exist at the present time.
 An informal meeting of the represen- tatives of high schools interested in the proposition will be held at an early date and at that time a permanent organiza- ton will be formed. If the plan meets with the approval of sufficiently large number of schools, schedules will be made out to cover the entire basketball season. The final game will probably be played at Wesleyan and a suitable tro- phy will be given to the. champions
