construction of this large addition to
the plant" declared President Charles
W. Nash this morning, "and we plan to

the Milwaukee plant or we should not
be making the large expenditure for
the new building, 1t is to be a modern
plant in every way and will of course
greatly increase our output"
Mr.. Nash today expressed his regret
that this vast plant was not to be an
addition to a great plant for the manu-
facture of the four cylinder cars in
Kenosha. 1t has been known for long
time that the president Of the Nash
company has felt a deep regret that all
of the activities Of the company could
not have been conferred in Kenosha, but
he has held that it was the unwilling
ness Of Kenosha to meet the demands
of the big industries that forced the
location of the plant in Milwaukee,
The Milwaukee plant is constantly in
creasing its product.

HUSBAND TAKES
FRENCH LEAVE
Gustav Evans, Delinquent
in AlimOny Settlement,
Can't be Found.
OWES FOR Is YEARS

Mystery surrounds the disappear
snce of Gustave Evans, a we'll known
employe of the Nash Motors Company,
who has apparently taken french
leave" from the city because of the
pushing of a claim by his wife for
more than $1,000 in back alimony. His
disappearance was discovered this
morning when attorneys for his wife,
Mrs Christina Evans, of Los Angeles,
Calf, attempted to locate the man in
order 10 present the settlement which
she was willing to make in he case.
Delinquent Fifteen Years.
The affair presents unique matri-
monial tangle, which started more than
fifteen years ago,
The claim for support was started
several months ago when Mrs. Evans,
now residing in California placed her
affairs in the hands of an attorney and
asked that legal steps be taken to Sc
cure collection of her claims. She
told how they were married more than
twenty years ago and how after a few
years Of married life, a separation
agreement was reached whereby the
husband was to pay weekly allowance
for her support,
Since that time The husband has
paid but little of the money and the
claim now amounts to more than ST.,
000 The wife had traced Evans to
Kenosha and asked that a judgment be
secured against him.
Asks for Settlement.
Evans was located at the Nash plant
and admitted that he had been mar
ried to the woman in California. He
asked that some adjustment be made
stating that it would be impossible to
raise such a large sum Immediately
In keeping with this the attorneys
for the wife secured statement from
their client that she would accept APP
proximately $4,000 in full settlement.
When they went to the Nash Motors
Company to report on this, they
found that the man had not reported
for two weeks All efforts to locate
him have proved futile.
The suit came as q surprise to Ev-
ans friends, the majority of whom
had not known of his marriage. He
had come to Kenosha several years ago
and had been a popular and efficient
employe at the Nash plant.
