MRS, TUCKER IS
GIVEN DIVORCE
Final Chapter in Famous Case
Written by Judge Var
nell Wednesday,
"CRUELTY" CAUSE GIVEN
Dissolution of Marriage Once
Refused-Ghost of BILLY"
Crawford Case.

The final chapter In the marital
troubles Of Walter G. Tucker and his
wife, Gladys craIgo Tucker, was
written In the circuit court Wednesl
day when Judge Oscar YarnelI
granted the wife divorce from her
husband.
4 This is the second attempt of the wife
ito obtain a divorce from her husband,
the first being in the ehancery court
where 1t was denied. However. the
charges made by the wife in her petit
ton heard Wednesday have arisen since
the trial OF the suit in Chancery, and
being assured Of this, Judge Yarnell
granted Mrs Tucker a divorce.
The couple have two children but no
mention of these was made in the suit
heard Wednesday. Mrs. Tucker was
represented by Harry r. Newton. No
one appeared for Tucker, the case being
uncontested. Tucker is now living in
Chicago.
First Attempt Failed.
The fuckers first came into the legal
lime light in 1918 when Mrs. Tucker fled
suit for divorce charging cruel and in
human treatment. The husband fired
his wife with infidelity and naming a
correspondent. The case was bitterly
fought for three days before Chancellor
w. B. Garvin, after which the court de-
nted either divorce but held Mrs.
Tucker guilty of such improper conduct
that her children were given to her
husband
Soon after the trial of the divorce
suit Walter G.. Tucker appeared again
in the iimeight this time as defendant
in a murder and attempted abortion
case. 1t was charged by Billy Crawford.
young stengrapher, on her dying bed
that Tucker had caused her death by
first being intimate with her and then
attempting abortion on her. The evil
dence, however, was not sufficient to con-
vict in this case and Tucker was finally
discharged and the death of Billy Craw-
ford unavenged.
Horsewhlpped Husband.
The next time the husband stepped
into the limelight was when Mrs.
Tucker met him on Market street one
day and horsewhpped him for remarks
he had made against her The wife was
tried for this in the police court and
discharged.
Tucker then deserted the state courts
and the next time he was heard from
was In the federal court where he was
indicted for sending obscene literature
through the mail. His wife was the
prosecutor In this case. she claiming to
have received a number of indecent

EASY TO JUDGE CHARACTER
Make a Study Of the Handwriting Of
Those Of Whom Doubt 10

Handwriting indicates a good deal
more than appears on the surface, If
what Louise Rice says in Peoples Mag

"Want a good. kind woman to live
in your widowed home and take care
of Willy and your bulldog?" she asks.
"Look at her capital a. and her small

that type Of mother, because there
are many different kinds Of mothers,

thought that If life were we'll regu-
lated we'd have special mothers for
infants, for half-grown children, for
lads and lasses, and some wonderful
mothers for us grown-up children. who

Hopeful people slant their writing
upward just as their cheerful smiles
keep the corners Of their mouths up

downhill when he writes, to match
his cynical mouth. Old Tronface'
Jones. just and severe. honest and
stingy, writes line across the page
as straight and thin as a ruler, a twin
to the slit that he calls his mouth.
Susy, who hasn't a thought in her
head which her mirror doesn't reflect,
writes every which way. A pencil
carefully drawn beneath her writing
will give a faithful representation Of
the channel on a stormy day.

AREMARKABLE ADDRESS

THE address of Mr.. will H. Hays,
: National Chairman of the Repub.
lican Party, delivered on Saturday even.
ing before the Young Mems Republican
Club Of Wilmington, was notable one.
It disclosed sagacious, far-seeing views
clearly, vigorously set out in fine Eng
lish abounding in many eloquen, pass
ages that deeply stirred those SO FORTH
nate as to hear them-a fact shown by
the frequent and tumultuous applause
that greeted those superb periods.
Among other excellent qualities the
address was marked by the emphaais
the speaker laid upon political. civie
and economic righteousness. He firmly
demanded a square deal" for ALL fol
Woman, Capital, Labor, Business, Bie
and little-together with the full4 4s'
recognition Of the paramount rights 'o1
government regulating it all under the
sacred forms Of Law.
His views are always forward look
ing; he is not only in all things quite
abreast of his time, but in many things
eagerly springing to an onward, en-
thusiastic leadership, championing,
boldly, fearlessly, many of the wise in.
novations in government, business and
politics. Thus, he urges the fullest re-
ception of Woman into the party ranks
and councils upon an absolute equality
without the slightest suggestion Of
patronizing her as the weaker vessel, :"
but rather as recognizing in her the un-
used and valuable other half of govern
ment and politics.
Again. He strongly advocates the
participation of Labor in the manage
ment of the industries for which it
toils-''a reasonable method for honest
and efficient Labor to acquire an inter-
est in the business which it is expected
to give its best efforts''-a doctrine so
revolutionary that its announcement 50
recently as at the last National Conven-
tion would have caused amazement and
probably elected strong dissent from
the friends Of Capital. But the doc
Gtnin goes now with the triphammer
urging of this independent. viriIe young
Chairman.
In one word, MIR. Hays views are con-
servatively radical. In the wisest way
he is an iconoclast sparing none of the
venerable images of Error and Wro1 3,
but always conserving those that the
wisdom and piety Of mankind, have lcng
and sacredly venerated. To give q
single illustration: He believes in the
regulation Of the railroads and other
great industrial activities; in leaving
Business, big and little, unfettered to
accomplish its greatest usefulness in
consonance with the highest public
good, though at the same time insisting
as to the common carriers ''that there
must be strong Federal regulation, but
not government ownership"
Here is bouquet of few of the
great things Mr.. Hays uttered:

(Taken from a Long Beach, Calf,
paper.)
The opening chapter of the auto
mobile industry came to an end yes
terday when Elmer Apperson, for
mer president of the Apperson Motor
Car Company, and maker of the first
gasoline-propelled vehicle, was strick-
en- while watching the game he Gre
ated and loved-automobile racing
from his box at the Beverly Hills
Speedway. He was carried to the
field hospital, where he died a few
minutes later.
Mr.. Apperson came here on Janu-
airy Is and was a guest at the Bev-
erly Hills Hotel. He attended the
races with his wife, Mrs. Katherine
E. Apperson, and number of
friends and was in the best of spir-
its and apparently in good health
when the end came. His home was
in Kokomo, Ind, where the body will
be shipped.
Mr.. Apperson was So years of age
He was here four years ago, and this
winter came again to rest and to see
the opening of the new factory
branch of his company here.
Mr.. Apperson's life was a life OF
industry. He started poor financial.
ly and at the time Of his death was
many times a millionaire. In 1898
he, with his brother, Edgar Apperson
and Elwood Haynes, constructed the
first automobile in the Riverside Ma.
chine Shop in Kokomo.
The Appersons were the mechanics
and Mr.. Haynes was the financial
head of the venture. With the
wheels from two bicycles and othel
rough material they created one
cylinder machine that was the first
of its kind. The electrical device
used to discharge the gas was con.
structed by the men and all the me.
chanical parts were made by hand.
Later, with money furnished by
Mr.. Haynes, the Appersons organ
lied the Haynes-Apperson Motor
Company. Some time later the COM
pany divided its interests and the
men organized two companies, the
Apperson Motor Company and the
Haynes Motor Company.
In 1907 Mr.. Apperson drove his
car in the first automobile road care
in this country. The race was sched-
uled to be from New York to Buffalo,
but it was stopped at Rochester be-
cause of the death of President Nc
Kinley.

both tread and body to tires, if they
absorb obstacles instead of lifting
the car and passengers over road

"Many tires are resilient when un-

ruinous. Michelin castings, on the
other hand, are super-resilient even
when inflated to the correct pressure
