A cough, which Charls A. Crock
says he acquired ten years ago. on

Wednesday In the District Supreme
Court against the Associated Chari-

Crooks daughter. Miss Nellie
Crock, who was a minor at the
time. but now an attorney with Of

suit in behalf Of her father. The
cough. according to Crooks declara-
tion, resulted from his being ar
rested and taken to the patrol box
without his overcoat in winter time.
His arrest, Crock states. came
about by a complaint filed against
him by an agent of the Associated

to support his four children. This
complaint, he states. was dismissed
after he had been in the lookup
eight hours. Crock claims the $780,

Paris, March 1S.-I am unable to
give any news from Germany since
the present situation there is too
obscure. but France and her allies
have taken all necessary measures
to guarantee their position on the
Rhine now and in the future" said
Premier MilIersnd in the Chamber
of Deputies late this afternoon. He
denied negotiating with Gen. Won
Luettwitz to organize a common
campaign against Bolshevism in
Germany.
The chamber agreed by an over
whelming majority vote to postpone
for week all further interpelIa-
tions concerning Frances foreign
policy.
The latest word the German charg 2

that the majority of the Kapp-

SETS FORTH
WIFE'S WORTH
English Judge Values Help
mates at SIPS to
$3.50 Each.

The cash value of wives TO. Eng
lish husbands varies from sf25 to
$3.50. according to a ruling by Jus
tice McCardie. of the Divorce Divi-
sion.
The judgment, which has caused a
tremendous stir throughout Eng
land, makes clear that under the di-
vorce laws of his country it is
doubtful il a woman can sue an
other for taking away her husband:
she has not the some rights of own
ership in her husband as a husband
has in a wife.
In future divorce proceedings In
England, said the Judge, juries must
not consider divorce damages as
punitive but as compensatory. The
points to be regarded are:
1. The actual value of the wife
to her husband.
2. The proper compeEisation to q
husband for injury to his feelings.
the blow to his marital honor, and
the seriousness of the hurt to his
matrimonial family life.
The pecuniary aspect to the value
of wife, the judge added. depends
on whether she is a helpmeet in
business or her capacity as a house,
wife.
The wife's conduct has an impor-
tant bearing. If she is a fiirt her
value to her husband Is so much
less. If she parades as a single
woman for certain purposes. a con-
clusion adverse TO her value would
az once he drawn. 1t is also essen
tial, when considering the question
of value, that the husbands whole
character should be regarded. as
well as any shock caused to his
feelings.
The pecuniary standing of the CO.
respondent must be considered when
the court or jury assesses damages.
Money may have been the means of
causing all the damage to a hus-
bonds honor and family pride.
Damages ought not TO be given
against a correspondent who was
unaware that the woman was mar
ried
In awarding $3.50 to one wronged
husband as compensation for the
loss of his wife, Justice MqCardis
said the husband had sustained
commercial loss, as well as substan-
tial moral injury.
