SHE FOUND HIN
A LOVE PIkER
Anne 'Pellegrino Tells of
Hardships of Her Mar
riage With Louis.
DIDN'T PLAY SQUARE
Complaint Says He Did Not
Furnish Even a Room and
Made Life Miserable.

"Love. Piker" isn't exactly what An
ME Pellegrino calls Louis Pellegrino
in her complaint filed in the divorce
action of Pellegrino VS.. Pellegrino, but
allegations made suggest that this is
the feeling of the young wife against
the husband whom she is seeking to
divorce.
Annie Pellegrino is young; so young
that she is still "child" in the eyes
of the law and is represented by a
guardian ad Item, who brings the
action for her, represented by R. V.
Baker as attorney. The marriage took
place little more than year ago,
and already one action for divorce has
been commenced and dropped and one
reconciliation effected which failed of
its purpose.
Married at Racine.
The couple were married at Racine
June II, 1922. In October, 1922, the
young bride commenced action for lim-
jited divorce, but in the midst of this
action, Pellegrino made overtures
which were accepted and the marital
relations resumed.
In her first petition for divorce
Annie Pellegrino stated that she be-
came seriously i'll three weeks after
her marriage but that Pellegrino re-
fused to secure a physician for her,
and that she procured one and was
sent to the hospital for surgical
treatment. She remained seven weeks
at ST. Mary's hospital in Racine and
tiufilsA sat time she claimed that her
husband paid her no attention and
did not furnish her with means of
support, or the wherewithal to pay
her physicians. VA
This charge is included in the pres
ent complaint and in addition other
charges are made.
Tried to Disgust" Her.
Pellegrino sought a reconciliation
secured it, and then came to I've at
the home of his wife's parents in Ra-
cine. While there, the complaint
states, he did not contribute to the
support of his wife or even pay his
own board.
He went farther, his young wife
charges, and quarreled with her par
ents and herself in order that they
the parents might come to the con-
clusion that the marriage was unen-
durable and force him from the house,
giving him grounds for complaint in
divorce action.
Refused Her a Furnished Room.
Pellegrino refused to furnishsa home
or even a so-called furnished room,
states the complaint. He would not
take his wife riding either, she says,
and when she beseeched him to, an
swered that he could find "better-look-
ing ones On June 121 1928, he told
her he was going to Chicago fer a
"good time, and on the eve of their
wedding anniversary, June II, 1923,
he promised to come home but ali
scented himself and later when he ar
rived said he had been to a dance
with some girls.

NEW CABINET TAKES
>REINIS in GERMANY
Chancellor Stresemann's New Coal
ition Established in Power
Now in Germany.
By CARL D. GROAT


Berlin Chancellor Stresemann's
new coalition government appeared
firmly in power today after its presen-
strong vote of confidence by that
body.
A majority of the middle groups of
public opinion seemed in full accord
with the government and ready to
back it against the communists and ex-
IRENE reactionaries-the only groups
fin open opposition.
/ Meantime the internal situation
showed signs of calming, despite new
outbreaks yesterday in Aaschen AK
La Chappelle) and vicinity, in which
ten were killed and upwards of 100
wounded and extension of strikes in
the chemical and electrical industries
at Frankfurt
The new chancellor's opening speech
in the Reichstag, during which he
boldly downed communist heckling,
showed the new government will fol
preceding cabinet of DR.. Wilhelm
Cuno.
Stresemann declared himself in fav-
or of consolidation of the political and
economic situation as an indespens-
able primary resumption of repara-
tions payment, continuation of pas
sive resistance, which he said was
fully justified in the last British note
to France and an internal gold loan to
provide funds for adjustment of wages
as demanded by the workers.
The chancellor appealed to the agri-
culturalists to relieve the food situa-
ton, admitting the government could
not expect the workers to remain quiet
unless they were assured an adequate
food supply.
In a general interview, following
his appearance in the Reichstag,
Stresemann told newspapermen Paris
is deceived if it thinks the change in
German governments indicates an end
to Germany's power of resistance
The chancellor said his new tax pro-
gram was expected to amelorate in
ternal finance considerably and reiter-
ated the policy that Germany considers
the Rhine provinces as inviolate.
Regarding the Ruhr, Stresemanr said
it will always remain the soul of in
dustry and a necessary symbol of the
nations material accomplishments.
The chancellor attributed internal
confusion to a breaking of the popular
nerve.
Nothing is so bad for a nation as
not to- know its future" he said "But
a people with the great past of Ger
many need not fear. We still have the
power to carve our own destiny"
Throwing a warning to France,
Stresemann said it would not be safe
to press the German people too far.
Disruption, he said, would mean boil
shevisnl, poison that would not halt
with German borders"
Dr. Cuno, it was reported, has been
mentioned as new German ambassador
for Washington, post he probably
will accept.
Berlin continued quiet today after
a minor clash in Frankfurrer avenue
last night inwhich one man was wound
ed seriously when police fired on a
crowd of demonstrators

COOLIDGE MOVES TO
CLEAR COAL SITUATION
President Coolidge Thru Administra-
ton Agencies Moves Today to
Handle Anthracite Question.
(By United Pressl

New York City.1-President Coolidge,
through his administration agencies,
moves today in handling his first big
domestic questionable anthracite coal
strike threatening for September list.
John Hays Hammond, chairman Of
the United States coal commission, will
tell the differing miners and operators
just how the government is stacking
the cards to protect the public against
a fuel famine and offer the services Of
the government for mediation. Ham
mond has received his instructions
from Mr.. Coolidge. They are:
The government, while not at
tempting to force the two opposing
factions into agreement, will lend its
services through the coal commission
to arbitrate the difficulties and press
for settlement.
Public needs will be protected at
all costs and fuel substitutes will be
provided to consumers through govern
ment channels, thus breaking the full
force of the strike.
Hammond meets the miners and OPP
orators at the Hotel Pennsylvania here
at D. m. The miners leaders are
protesting to be adamant as ever on
the question of the "check-off" now
rapidly becoming the chief bone of
contention in the dispute.
Before leaving Atlantic City to come
here for parley, John L. Lewis and his
associates made clear once more their
absolute insistence upon the system,
whereby union due are deducted from
the miners wages by the companies
statement issued by S. D. Warmer,
spokesman for the operators, indicated
the owners are still opposed toA this
"check-of" but are now willing to
submit it to arbitration.
Today's meeting will serve to put be-
fore the commission the conflicting
views of the two sides. Only fort
night remains before the existing
agreement expires-at the end OF
which time if an agreement has not
been reached, strike in the anthracite
fields is predicted.
The commission is prepared to urge
settlement and if this proves impos-
sible to report back to President Cool.
idge, who authorized its invitation to
the miners and operators to meet.
When the last conference Of miners
and operators at Atlantic City broke
up, they had agreed upon many points
previously in dispute but not upon a
wage iassease asked by the Eliaers
nor upon the "check7of.'

ARREST PROPRIETORS

Two warrants. one for gambling de-
vices and the other for violation-o the
dry laws, were issued today by the dis
trict attorney following a raid made
last night by Sheriff Fred Pabst and
Undersheriff Joseph Knipfer on two
Powers Lake resorts.
1t was shortly after 10 r. m. that the
sheriffs swooped down or the bowling
alleys operated by James Millet. Their
appearance stilled the sound Of the
tum'bling pins. A crowd >of men who
had been standing near a slot machine
suddenly melted away when they rec
ognized the visitors.
Grab Slot Machine.
"This looks suspiciously like a slot
machine" Sheriff Pabst commented to
Undersheriff Knipfer.
The undersherif approached the ma
chine and read the brilliant slogan un-
der the glass, Fortune awaits you"
"We1l see," he commented, as he
reached into his pocket for quarter
with which to operate the machine.
He inserted the coin and pulled the
lever. Instantly there was whirring
of gears. Under the glass he read,
'Your desire is realized" Then twelv ],
quarters tumbled out of the machine
"This. is too good to leave here" ne
commented to Sheriff Pabst. "Isguess
we had better take it back to the office
before all the boys get rich" So the
machine was bundled into the sheriff's
car.
Hit Eagle Inn.
The next stop was at Eagle Inn, pre-
sided over by W. E. Jewell. The place
is known officially as soft drink en-
porium. At the bar were several men
drinking beverages which looked at
least suspiciously like moonshine to
the officials. The sheriffs then pro-
duced search warrant and stepped
behind the bar. Standing in full view
was pint bottle filed with booze,
which was taken as evidence.
Jewell and Millet will be arraigned
in municipal court tomorrow to answer
the charges which have been preferred
against them, the officials said.
