Forgot to Get DiuOrce,'
Says Alleged Bigan,ist
Reich, 68 Years Old, Blnn,es
Memory for Dual Marriage;
Wires Join in Prosecution

1t is the firm conviction Of Roscoe
Reich, as he sits in his cal and thinks
about his marital affairs, that two
women are more than d match in wits
for one man, especially if the man has
made the mistake of being married to
both at the same time. roscoe, who is
sixty eight and hobbies with a cane,
blames his memory more than his
wives for his present predicament
He honestly meant to get divorce
from wife No. l, he says, until he had a
paralytic stroke and his memory went
to the dogs. Then the trif1ing matter
of being legally free of one wife be-
fore he took another slipped his mind
altogether. In fact, if it had not been
that the two wives got togethe,
through some stray letters he might
still be living in peace and comfort,
first with the one at Easton, Pa, and
then with the other at 672 Sterling
Place, Brooklyn. His immediate resi-
dence. however, is the Raymond Street
Jail, Brooklyn, where he is held in So
500 bail for the grand jury, following a
hearing before Magistrate James V.
Short in the Gates Avenue Court yes-
terday morning.
The two wives presented loving
front in court-to each other, but not
to Roscoe. They are big and strong.
Wife No. was Miss Ella Schirmer
until Reich married her at Tamaoua.
Pa. in 1878. She is the mother of his
four children. Wife No. was Miss
Augusta Hublin, who worked in the
plant where Reich was a bookkeeper
until he married her in 1918. There
was third wife, according to the de-

Manheimer then stated, according to
his wife's affidavit, that Tie nad been
keeping company with the girl, that
her parents had heard he was married,

She later went to the Braunstein

in getting a decree. She refused and

Inc phraseology of the present law

SAID. Few legislators here seemed
aware to-day that under the nresent
wide-open law there can be no prosecnS

persons live together as man and wife

one-time brokerage firm of L. T.. Lay

The firms vicissitudes furnished all

out with a promising future, gathered
about ii worthwhile and financially
wcll-fixed clientele, and then, just
when skies seemed to be brightest,
broke in the middle. Almost two years

had paid to most of his creditors, In
that last vain effort that a falling man
makes, something like so cents on the
dollar.
But L. T. Layton came back here
from his home in Philadelphia to pay
to those creditors every penny that he
owed them. Prominent business and
professional men who had lost varying
sums Of money by the failure of the
brokerage firm gathered together to
receive payment in full. There were

PROSPECTS FOR CATTLE MEN
Nebraska College of Agriculture En-
couraging Farmers to Increase
Their Operations.

The Nebraska College Of Agricul-
ture is encouraging farmers to expand
their live stock operations. The
scarcity of all kinds Of stock, especial
ly cattle, points to continued good
prices. With feed prices going lower
better days seem to be near for both
the live stock raiser and the live stock
feeder. While it is true that many
feeders lost money i'm the last two
years, feed prices may be so per cent
lower than last year. Likewise cheap
er feed and labor should stimulate
live stock raising. The number of
cattle in the United States has been
decreasing at an alarming rate. The
number in the United States has de
creased from 80 head for every 100
persons in 1900 to AZ head in 1919.
During the same period the rate of
slaughter increased 100000 head an
nually. Some people go so far as to-
predict that in few years only mil.
Iionaires can have beefsteak on their
tables. unless live stock production is
stimulated.

left here he had releases in full from

It took about two hours to get
through with the usual business trans

declared that his greatest regret was

give to the wo.k of the hog-cholera
serum. 1t is unwise and uneconomical
to depend entirely upon the serum to
protect the swine from this costly dis
ease. In 1913 the farmers paid a Sc
rum bill of over $5,000,000 and they
still lost $6,000,0OO worth Of pigs.
There can be no doubt as to the effec-
tiveness of the serum treatment, but
the sensible farmer will do what he
can with shovel, hoe and disinfectant
to remove the cause of the trouble. The
threat Of cholera is always present SO
long as there are undrained cesspools
and wallows. Straw stacks should
never be left from one year to the next
If they are where the hogs can reach
them. Shelters and pens should be SO
constructed that they may be easily
cleaned and exposed to the sunlight.

sort in the fall when the hogs have
been taken from the pens will co much
