NEOS FIVE
WOMEN To
GET EVEN
Embittered by Experiences
While Only a Bigamist,
Embarks on Career"
BY international News Service.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. g.
Because his experience with one
woman caused him to "hate all
women" Forrest Warner decided to
get even" and marry as many as
he could" according to his reported
confession to the police.
Has Five Wives.
Warner, alias Hines, alias Wills,
alias Venable. has succeeded In mar.
rying' five without formality of d.
vorce when the latest wife" suspected
him on matrimonial proclivties and
put the police on the trail, the confess
sion relates. Warmers story, as told
by the police, runs like this:
Back in 1889 Warner married Matt
s. Wills at Greenville, Ohio. Five chill
dren were born before he departed and
became infatuated with an unnam ed
woman at Terre Haute, Ind. This
woman abandoned her husband and
four children and travelled aobut with
him as his wife, but there was no mar
r.age ceremony. She grew tired" OF
Warner, however, and deserted him.
1t was this experience, Warner said,
which "soured him against women"
and he determined to get even.
DO next ne married. MISS
Begley, thirty-three, of Canton, Ohio,
in September, 1918. under the name of
Elmer Hines. The ceremony took
place in Toledo.
AS Elmer Wills, he was married
TO Pearl Lowry, aged thirty of Zanes-
vile, Ohio, in February, 1919.
Next he became enamored of Miss
Beulah Head, twenty-five, of Little
Rock, Ark, but discarded her after a
weeks honeymoon. This time the
name was Edward Wills.
Again in Indiana.
Then, several weeks ago, he met
Martha Lucas. whose age is given as
about thirty-five, and married" her
in Vincennes, Ind, giving the name
Delbert Venable.
At this point wife No. S" takes up
the story thus:
At the,end of the first week of their
married" life Warner departed with
the last of his brides 1925 in savings.
and came to Indianapolis.
From an old memorandum book he
! left behind Mrs. Venable found the
name of Pearl Wills, wife No. l." and
correspondence followed which led to
Warmers arrest.
Warner Is fifty.two, but doesn't
look II" in the opinion of the police.
He Is being held on a formal charge Of
wife desertion while his alleged matri-
monial ventures are being aired.

Sub That Sank
Lusitania To Be
Made Into Cafe

COPENHAGEN, Aug. g.
The former German submarine
U-20, which sank the Lusitania,
may be converted into a seaside
restaurant. She is lying on the
west coast of Jutland, where
she went ashore several years
ago.
The Social Demokraten says
that proposal for converting
tbe submarine into an eating
house is under consideration
and that the sponsors believe it
would be a big money-making
project, owing to the historical
Importance attached to the ves-

The Washington times., 1921-08-02

In my analysis Of the various plans
suggested for solving the street car
tangle, today's subject-plan NO.
on the LISTS merger.
1t is doubtful II there ever was go
much unanimity of opinion on Dis
trict question as there is on this.
EVERYBODY wants merger. The peo'
pie who ride on street cars-which
means everybody in town-the Public
Utilities Commission and practically
all members of Congress want mers'
er.
1t is perfectly obvious to everybody
that the existence of two major street
car systems Is hurting the town. II
inposes inconvenience on the travel
ing public, retards development of the
District, makes the job Of regulating
street cars well-nigh impossible, and
produces HIGH FARES.
Why Not DO IT.
In most places, II everybody believes
a thing is good for the town and wants
II done, 1t usually is done, For some
reason or other. the District keeps on
rocking along, and 1t ISN'T done.
WHY?
Before considering that. let's see
what the good results of merger would
be. In order to appreciate those good
results, II is necessary to keep defin'
itely in mind the fundamental facts
about the two main street car systems
One-the Capital Traction-has a
profitable property. 1t makes a lot
of money. because every foot OF Its
tracks run through profitable territory
The other-the Washington Railway
and Electricians a much less profi1
eble property. 1t makes much LEI
money, because many of Its lines r
through improbable territory.
