FoibIes OF Dickens.

Charles Dickens invariably wrote in
blue ink on blue paper, as he held the
impression that the color Of ink and
paper greatly facilitated the flow OF
his ideas. Another idlosyncrasy of his
was the writing of day and month in
full, as, January twenty-sixth."

Is running rampant, according
to a statement in a recent issue

Jersey City, as well as Chicago,
has espoused the cause with a
force Of 1000 tenants, who
were notified of rent increases
and went on a rent strike,
backed by the Jersey City gov.

director of revenue and finance.
Mass meetings are being held
and much newspaper publicity
is lending its force against
rent proflteering. It is stated,
also, that the February strike
ended with satisfaction to 1000
tenants, saving each from So to
$40 per month-with loss to
landlords of about $4,000
monthly revenue.

36TH STATE IN
BITTER FIGHT
ON SUFFRAGE
Delaware Will Decide Next
Week Whether Nations
Women Shall Vote.
NARROW MARGIN SEEN

Enterprise Association.
WILMINGTON. Del. March 1.-THE
only thing that will cause the legis-
lature of this state to ratify the woman
suffrage amendment when it meets In
special session March 90 will be insistent
pressure.
Thirty-four states have ratified. Wash
ington will meet the same day and rati-
fcation there is only a matter of record
ing the vote. This will leave in the hands
of the Delaware legislators the question
of deciding for the whole nation.
I have just made a thorough canvass
Of the legislature and I can account for
majority Of only one in the house and 7
would say that ratification lacks one vote
in the senate.
FIGHT WILL
BE BITTER.
The fight will be a bitter one Anti
suffragists under the leadership of Mrs.
Henry P. Scott have opened headquarters
here and at Dover, the capital.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. former
president Of the National Woman Suf-
frage association, dishanded, and Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis and Mrs. Florence Bay
ard Hilles of the national woman's party,
will have headquarters at Dover.
Then there are local interests that may
hold up ratification. Delaware has a
school code, fathered by Gov. Townsend.
strong suffragist, over which the state is
divided. The Duponts run Delaware.
Just now a family political feud is on.
Alfred Dupont, reputed to have a ma
jority of the Legislature on his side,
wants the school code repealed or
changed Coleman Dupont, close friend
to the governor, is opposed to altering
the school code. Opposition to the school
code threatens to refuse to ratify woman
suffrage until Gov. Townsend consents to
school code legislation.
THREAT OF
SENATE HOLDUP.
Il win vote against woman suffrage
ratification until the governor signs a
bill we will pass on the school question. "
declared Isaac d. Short. president pro
tenn of the senate. IF he vetoes our bill.
the senate will adjourn without voting
on ratification"
The vote seems TO be 10 TO II in the
house for ratification and TO in the
senate against, but suffragists say It IS
possible to make the vote L 70 in the
senate and % to 10 in the house.
Some of the ants are beginning t.
waver and more pressure will turn the
trick, 1t is insisted by friends of ratifica-
ton.

PEACE TREATY
BIG THING NOW
BRYAN'S VIEW
Urges Democratic Senators to

WASHINGTON, March 17-The presi-
Dental campaign must be fought out on
the big domestic issues of interest to all
the people. but prohibition and the peace
treaty should not be numbered among
those issues, in the opinion of William
Jennings Bryan as indicated in an inter.
view here today.
Both parties will put prohibition
planks in their platforms and nominate
candidates pledged to enforcement of the
law" he declared shortly after he ar
rived.
REMAIN TRUE TO
DEMOCRACY"
He asserted his appearance in Wash
ington had nothing to do with the peace
treaty situation in the senate, but added :
LAS a democrat I am interested in see
ing my party remain true to the prinCi-
pies of democracy and refuse to believe
that any considerable number of demo-
Gratis will Join the irreconcilable oppo-
nents Of the treaty TO prevent ratification.
Such course is unthinkable and for the
democrats to do such a thing would be
an unspea kable disgrace forever after

htion and declared t:e treaty is the big

DIVORCE SEQUEL
TO POISON CASE
Father of Detroit Girls Begins
Court Action.
Northwest Corner Market and
Pennsylvania

DETROIT, March Troy E. Luikart,
whose two children, Shirley and Edna.
were given poison by their mother last
September. and later saved by the skin
Of Dr. Carter of Chicago, has filed a
petition asking a divorce. He also
charges that his wife's foster parents,
Mr.. and Mrs Alexander Zorba, had
threatened to kidnap the children. A
request for an injunction restraining
them is included in his complaint. The
petition was fled late yesterday.
In his bill of complaint Luikart says
his wife was much in the company of
a ROYAL Oak man, who had promised
10 take her to Europe just before she
attempted to end the lives of her chill
dren. The man is made a party to the
court proceedings
CALLS ON ALLEGED
AFFINITY To APPEAR.
The bill of complaints also calls upon
the Royal Oak man named therein TO
appear in court and answer as to his
ronduct with Mrs. Luikart in order that
The court may be fully advised in The
premises"
After reciting the fact that he and
Hazel Harrison were married at Herrick,
S. D., in 1911, Luikart says they lived in
comparative happiness the first three
years, although he makes the change that
his wife was extremely Jealous and caused
him mental suffering. Suddenly, says the
bill of complaint, these signs of Jealousy
disappeared coincident with Mrs
Luikart's Increased interest in the study
Of vocal music and composition which
she was pursuing under the tutelage of a
certain professor of music in Sioux Falls. -
The Luikarts had moved to that city.
TAKES Up WITH
NEW PHILOSOPHY.
In November, 1916, says the husband,
be and his wife came to Detroit About
this stage of their married life Mrs.
Buikart became a devotee Of the phi
lOsophy Of sex antagonism' and "harped'
on the topic She would claim, he says,
that women were the toys and play
things of men-that men never suffered
and that she had made all the sacrifices
and he had made none.' Furthermore
Luikart narrates, she dreaded the time
when her children should grow to woman
hood and suffer as she had suffered
The bin reviews the poisoning case and
the way in which Shirley and Edna were
saved in Chicago.
Then follow allegations that a Royal
Oak man and Mrs. Luikart had been
much in each others company" while he
himself was sick in a hospital He says
the man had made promises that he would
take Mrs. Luikart To Europe and support
her in luxury. Luikart alleges that on
the day of the poisoning Mrs. Luikart and
the man had an appointment which the
man failed to keep.
