Mrs. Harrington
Makes it FOrty-five
fRv Tinted press)

Danville, Ill.-Cold blooded science
and adherents of the old fashioned re-
ligion of blood and fire were agreed
today that Mrs. Sadie Harrington, who
is fasting to force her husband to
join the church of God, has not par
taken of food for forty-fve days.
Skeptics and scoffers and most of the
towns folk here were in that class
until day or so ago, but are now be-
ginning to believe that Mrs. Harrington
has been entirely without nutrition
since she announced the fast to save
the soul of her husband, Ernie Har-
rington, produce merchant. Mrs.
Harrington today was refusing admit
lance to newspaper correspondence.
"The lord will let me know when he
wants me to put piece in the papers, +"
she was quoted by Sister Ada Percy,
member of the Church of God, and
Mrs. Harrington's nurse.

TO NAME CABINET
POSSIBLY THURSDAY
Official Announcement from President
Elect Expected to Be Made With
in Few Hours.
(By United Press)

Marion, 0.-Oficial announcement
from President elect Harding regard
ing his cabinet, is probable within 48
hours, according to authoritative in
formation today. The appointment of
Charles E. Hughes as secretary of
State may be made public in this an
nouncement. 1t is understood Hard
ing has been waiting for an accept
ance from the former supreme court
justice and this is one explanation of
the silence the president elect has
maintained for nearly three weeks re-
garding his cabinet. He was prepared
to make an announcement ten days
ago but had not received acceptance
from Hughes, it is understood. The
appointment of Charles G. Dawes as
secretary of the treasury may also be
made at the same time Opposition in
many quarters to appointment of a
political" cabinet is causing Harding
to make over his list, which was fairly
definite ten days ago. The targets of
this opposition are: Harry H. Dough-
erty, Ohio; A. T. Hart, Kentucky; Will
liam II. Hays, Indiana and John A.
Weeks, Massachusetts. Cabinet posts
offered these men, it is claimed by
some, would be in the nature of re-
wards for political service.

MESSAGE BARES
LOVE TRIANGLE
James FOlIen Wires Protest
Against Former Wife's
Alleged Marriage.
DIVORCE In FEBRUARY
Husband Says Mrs. Follen Was
Married to Herman HOff
SIX Days After Divorced.

A Kenosha love triangle was barred
this morning in a telegram received
from James Follen, formerly depart
ment superintendent at the Simmons
company, to his attorney, in which
he asked for a vacation of the order
directing him to pay alimony to his
wife, Mary Follen of Kenosha, on the
grounds that she has been married to
Herman Hoff, also of this city. A di-
vorce was granted to Mrs Follen on
February 16, 1920, at which time a
settlement was reached in which Fol-
len agreed to pay $1,275 to his wife,
of which amount he paid S775 cash
and gave notes for the remaining $500.
In his telegram this morning Follen
alleges that his wife was remarked
within six days after the granting of
the divorce and for this reason he
protests against the payment of furth-
er alimony to her.
Claims Record of Marriage.
Follen's telegram was sent to Keno
sha this morning from Freeport, ILL.,,
where he has been living for the past
few weeks. In it he alleges that he
has "a copy of the marriage record
from Crown Point, Ind, showing that
his former wife was married to Her.
man Hoff on February 21st by Justice
Howard H. Kemp of the Indiana city.
In his telegram Follen also declared
that he would swear out a warrant
asking that this marriage be annuTled
because of the Wisconsin law forbid
ding either party in a divorce action
to remarry within year from the
time that the decree was granted.
Mrs. Follen with the ten-year- old
daughter, Irma Follen, is said to have
been living in Kenosha since the time
of the divorce. Herman Hoff, the man
to whom Follen alleges that his former
wife was married, has been a resident
of Kenosha for several years.
Mrs. FOllen Denies Report.
The only Mrs. Follen who could be
located in Kenosha, resides on Harry
avenue. She was reached early this
afternoon by telephone and denied the
report of her marriage. "It was not
anyone in this house." she told the
representative of the Evening News.
II know nothing about it."
Prior to the granting of the divorce
decree, the Follen home was located at
277 Tanners court. Mr.. Follen was at
one time one of the owners and the
manager of the K. & F. Mfg. Co., but
recently sold out his interest in this
concern. He had also been depart
ment superintendent of the Simmons
company. but more recently has been
employed by the Slower Mfg. Co., Of
Freeport, Illinois.

WILL REJECT
WAGE SCALE
Business Agent Of Building
Trades Says Unions VIII
Reject New Scale.
''WILL SET THEIR OWN

Kenoshans employed in the various
building trades Of Kenosha will reject
the reduced wage schedule unanimous
ly adopted by the Master Builders of
Kenosha, according to the statement
made this morning by Richard Crit
fiths, business agents for the Building
Trades Council. The statement came
as bombshell to the building situation
in Kenosha as it had been formerly
believed that the unions would be en-
tirely satisfied with the scale set by
the master builders.
Absolutely no., was the answer
made by Business Agent, Griffiths to
the query as to whether or not the
building trades unions would accept
the dollar-an-hour basis set by the
Master Builders at their meeting on
Monday evening.
Will Make Own Scale.
Il have received no formal Motif
cation that this scale has been set by
the contractors, said Mr.. Grifiths.
"but | am certain that if it is pre-
scented to the unions it will not be
accepted. When the time comes, the
unions will make their own scale and
present it to the contractors for ac-
ceptance. 1t is possible that the change
in the industrial condition may lead
to some reduction on the scale but
this cannot be announced definitely
now"
1t was declared that the annual
meeting of the unions for the purpose
of electing officers would not be held
until the latter part of January and
that the work of accepting wage
schedule for the coming year would be
up to the officials chosen at that time.
Any official action on the schedule
will be taken at that time.
Master Builders May Act.
Several days ago the Master Build
ers of Kenosha in formulating their
reduced schedule stated that this
change must be made in order to stab
ilize building conditions in Kenosha
and that in the event the unions did
not accept the wage scale, it would
establish an "open shop policy in Ke-
nosha. Hopes are still entertained that
some way will be found to unite the
unions and the contractors before thu
opening of the building season.

SEEKS TO UNITE
BONDS OF YEARS
Mrs. Anna Peterson Files
Suit for Divorce from ,
Paris Farmer.
CHARGE IS CRUELTY
Draw up the papers lawyer and
make them good and stout;
For things are sort of cross

wise and Betsey and are outs
The old fashioned divorce action
which called forth the famous Carle-
ton poem had its counterpart in a suit
filed in Kenosha this morning when
Attorney George w. Taylor "drew up
the papers and made them good and
stout" in the demand of Anna Johann
Peterson for divorce from her her
husband Thorkoel Peterson. They
have been married for thirty years
and better, have raised eleven children
the last one just attaining majority,
have won fortune off the farm in the
town of Paris but after all they have
agreed to disagree and the suit for
divorce is to be heard in the Circuit
Court in the near future. Mrs. Peder-
son in her petition asks for division
of the estate which she declares is
valued at $4,000
Charges Extreme Cruelty.
The plaintiff charges her husband
with extreme cruelty. She declares that
although they were wealthy she has
been forced to work in the fields as
common laborer and that her hus-
band has repeatedly sought to have her
adjudicated insane. In the last few
years Mrs. Peterson has been examin-
ed for her sanity by five Kenosha
county doctors and all of them have
held her sane. Peterson has not as
yet filed an answer to the complaint
but it is expected that the case will
be contested. Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson
We're married in Racine county many
years ago. Three sets of children are
concerned in the divorce and the divi-
sion of the estate. By former mar
riage Mr.. Peterson has five living chill
dren and under similar conditions Mrs.
Peterson four children. Two chill
dren We're born to them as man and
wife.
The parties to the action have been
prominent in the town of Paris for
many years and the announcement
that Mrs. Peterson has filed the ac-
ton fer divorce will be mild sensa-
tion in that town.
