WOMAN JUDGE IS
WORKERS FRIEND

Ohio isn't classed as a radical
state. For one thing, it has produced
Harding. For another, It is respon-
sible for Daugherty. But over half
million Ohio voters did themselves
proud election day, when they scratch
ed three of the candidates Of the two
old parties and elected a woman to
the highest iud. ial office OF the state,
on strictly independent and nou-
partisan ticket.
Judge Florence e. Allen, OF Cleve-
land, is not a politician. She has
proved herself an able fair-minded,
and honest judge in the common pleas
court Of Cleveland. and ran for the
supreme bench with no other obliga-
tions than those owe to the people

american history to be elevated to

son was well-known in town. But,
like many villagers, his finances
and his station in society were not
such as to cope with those of Mrs.
Vanderbilt.
The lieutenant sensed these vast
differences. And Mrs. Vanderbilt
appreciated perhaps even more
keenly the difficulties resulting
from the differences in their
wealths and stations. and most Of
all in their ages.
A SWIFT COURTSHIP.
A dozen other men were paying
court to Mrs. Vanderbilt. To none
she gave serious heed. Young
Fitz Simons paid ardent court.
The outer world did not know it,
but his suit was succeeding fast.
They had met shortly after the
armistice. During the Winter fol-
lowing they were frequently to-
gether abroad the ship or at Mrs.
Vanderbilt's home. In February
they had decided to marry. In
early April they were united.
Society was thunderstruck. Mrs.
Vanderbilt had been a Divorce for
eleven years. During that time
she had been sought by more than
a score Of admirers. Among them
was Count william Won Bentinch,
of the Potsdam Guards.
The war took her attention. She
devoted herself to Red Cross work.
with the war over she resumed
her interest in social functions.
But that interest waned rapidly in
favor of her interest in her sons

It has since been whispered in
Newport that 1t was Ensign Billy
Vanderbilt who tipped off his

romance had developed on that
most unusual Of places for a ro-
NANCE United States warshfp.
That was where Mrs. Vanderbilt
was wooed and won-rtght under
two wicked looking guns Of tho
destroyer Evans in Newport Har-
Dor. Her son. William Vanderbilt,
known as Ensign Billy. was sta
toned on the destroyer and the
craft was in command Of his chum
and superior officer, Lieutenant
Fitz Simons.
When Mrs. Vanderbilt went out
to tho Evans everyone supposed.
Of course, It was to visit her son.
At first that was her sole purpose.
Later though her friends did not
know It, her visits had q double
motive
And young Ensign Bill en-
couraged the suit of his chum and
stepfather-to-be. He had known
Paul Fitz Simons for years. Paul's
father was medical director at the
torpedo station In Newport and the

suit was the outcome Of a discus
sion between the two women Is
not known. 1t is fact, however,
that they continued friendly.
Mrs. Colford obtained her d.
vorce. She won the custody Of
her two children, Clara Knight
Colford and Dorothy Knight Col
ford. Thus terminated the ro-
nance that years before her red
blooded. hard-head obdurate father
had opposed in vain.

ELSIE FRENCHS CASE.
We now come to the third Of the
ex-Vanderbilt wives now in France.
the former Elsie French.
Few marriages caused as much
surprise in fashionable American
society as that of the former first
wife Of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
and Lieutenant Paul Fitz Simons,
U. s. N. 1t was not the disparity
Of their ages-she was considerably
his senior-that furnished the
main element of surprise. Such
differences Of age have been re-
corded before, and the bride re-
tanned her youthful appearance.
Nor was 1t the difference in their
social and financial standings. Mrs.
Vanderbilt is an acknowledged So
cial leader and her wealth runs
into the millions. Her bridegroom
was a villager Of Newport and his
salary in the navy was $4,000 a
year. Such matches. too, have hap
pened before and often create no
more than a ripple Of comment.
Matches Of this sort are not un-
common in the French family.
Did not her own niece, Julia T.
French, marry Jack Geraghty, a
chauffeur And did not her
nephew, Edward T. French. marry
a stenographer7
No, the really surprising feature
was how on earth Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt was wooed and
won without one OF her friends
suspecting the romance was in
existence?

ODD DENOUEMENT.
And now the same Mrs. Wander
bilt was taking as husband the
man who had been cast off by the
girl she had helped get into society
and whom she had Unanswered
into a marriage with young Col
ford.
Mrs. Reggie, like young Mrs.
Colford, had been so desperately
in love with her girlhood sweet
heart, Vanderbilt. that 1t seemed
she, like Clare knight, would die
Of a broken heart because Of the
stern opposition her romance en-
countered.
But she and Reggie were mar
ried. And, in a general way, their
matrimonial adventures ran along
the same lines as that of the Col
fords. When a separation came,
Mrs. Vanderbilt for a long time,
on religious grounds, refused to
get a divorce. 1t was not until
five years after their separation
that she finally steeled herself to
a divorce.
That left her free to marry again
free and young and wealthy and
attractive.
She became Mrs. Colford. Society
asked:
Twill It last? She saw the I'M
happy outcome Of the match she
had arranged for another with Col
ford. Can she be happy in the
match she has arranged for her
self? Can she keep the love her
chum. Clare Knight, was unable to
hold2"
And those who a few years ago
asked that series Of pertinent
questions are today wagging and
nodding their heads, and with wise
mien calling attention to the fact
that perhaps the trip to France OF

Then society saw a strange de-
velopment. The friendship be-
tween Mrs. Vanderbilt and Col
ford began to become more than
a friendship. 1t became so strong
a companionship that the wise
onee began to suggest that they
would marry.
And marry they did. Which
was a startling outcome. For It

Iknow in my own mind that we are going to get splen-

acres in Crane county, will come in a gusher.
Then the scene of my operations will shift to Kaufman
county.
By April 18th, our first well, on 5000 acres in kaufman
county, should be drilling payward.
Many wells are drilling in Kaufman county-some of
them will be producers, and some will not, but this much
| am convinced of-that fully three-quarters of our leases
