H9LDUP ARTISTS GETTING
 BOLD IN THEIR WORK

Peter Coulter a resident of Seward was held up near the northern limits of the city Thursday night, his assail- ant wounding him slightly by knife thrust when Coulter refused to throw up his hands. Coulter alleges he was coming to town, shortly after 6 o'clock on the evening aforesaid and that the stick-up man stepped out of the bushes near the old powder house, with the command to Stick lem up" Coulter at first thought it was a joke and re- fused to comply, whereupon the foot pad struck at him with a knife, the coat, vest and shirt being cut thru, and the weapon glancing from the left ribs. Coulter swung with his right and knocked the man down, thereupon taking to his heels until he fell exhausted at Porcupine City. He describes the robber as a tall, thin man, with a wicked looking knife.
 A second hold-up IS reported to the marshals office, it being alleged that two members of the crew of the Starr were held up in dark alley, by an unidentified assailant, who also used a knife to terrorize his victims. It is not known whether the robber sue ceeded in securing any loot, as the Starr left shortly afterward for the westward. The matter is under inves- tigation by the marshaps office.

 Dr. Cook was remanded to jail in default of $75,000 bail Twelve CO., defendants with Dr. Cook were given one to eigth years in the penitentiary and heavily fined.
 Dr. Cook, who was made an inter- national character through sheer ef- frontery and bluff was conducting a cold-blooded, deliberate confidence game in fleecing the public, Judge Killets asserted.
 The testimony against Dr. Cook was especially damaging, showing that he had thrown number of worthless and fictitious companies into corpo- ration. selling millions of dollars in worthless stock to people who could i'll afford their losses. One woman testified that after reading Dr. Cooks prospectuses she took the carpets off the floor and sold them to buy oil stock. Another small cotton raiser said he mortgaged his farm and stock and bought stock, which later proved to be not worth the paper it was print ed on.
 Dr. Cook maintained elaborate of fees and a large clerical force, his printed contracts reaching huge fig ures.

penetrates every nook and corner of
the lsnd. These women have begun
a campaign for a national uniform
marriage and divorce law.
I'VE indorse the movement for a
national uniform marriage and divorce
law which shall prevent hasty and i'll
considered marriages, preclude inter-
state confusion, and insure proper jus
tice to all members of the family when
divorce Is necessary
This preliminary statement of pres
ent activities was made by the BIZ
ennial convention of the General
Federation last June at Shautauqna,
N. Y. The Federation's general pur-
Vose is ITO promote all movements
looking toward the bettermenf of life"
AS to this specific movement 4 holds
that the stability. of our national fam
lily life Is now menaced by tire diver
sity, contradiction and inadeq1acy of
the many state statutes dealing with
the formation and dissolution Of mar
rage.
That our American family He is so
menaced Is the opinion of many. Will
liam L. Manning. Episcopal bishop OF
New York, put the situation In nut
shell when he said from the put pit:
1.-THE institution of the family based
In monogamlc marriages Is the SUI
preme possession that man has won
through all the long ages of his moral
and spiritual progress. II is e. sim
pie fact that as a nation we are rap
idly abandoning the principle of mono
gamlc marriage. The teaching that
marriage should last only while love
lasts means in plain words the aboli-
ton of marriage and the substitution
of the system of legalized free love"
The General Federation is not the
leader of forlorn hope in the move
ment. 1t will have earnest co-Opera-
tion In many quarters. And all those
committed to the movement agree that
national uniform marriage and d.
vorce law Is the vital factor In the
situation. From the legal Viewpoint
our marriage and divorce laws are a
national scandal. The American Bar

n necessary legal reform, irrespective
of the merits of the question Of making
divorce easier or more difficult.
Supporters Of the movement for uni
form marriage and divorce laws In
sist that 1t Is not feminist movement.
They hold that the movement Is not
for the benefit Of women alone. They
contend that the reform will benefit
men. women and children all over
America.
A constitutional amendment and rati-
fication by the states are necessary
for the passage of uniform marriage
has nothing to say about marriage and
divorce. Regulation of marriage and
divorce laws belongs to the several
states. So, unless the several states
can be persuaded to make their lnws
uniform, the Constitution must be
amended to give congress power to en-
act legislation. Uniformity through
aojon of state legislatures Is appar-
entity hopeless. South Carolina. for in
stance, does not recognize divorce;
New York recognizes but one valid
cause for divorce; New Hampshire
recognizes fourteen.
The General Federation has done
more than simply demand that con-
gress submit n constitutional amend
ment TO the states for ratification. II
has prepared draft Of proposed
law. This bill Is the work of Mrs.
Edward Franklin White. deputy attor-
ney general of Indiana, who Is chair
man of the Federation's legislative de-
partment. Her portrait Is given here
with. Mrs. Winter is the General
Federation's president. Senator Cap
per of Kansas is the mere man who
sponsors the bill In congress. Sena-
tor Capper says of the bill. among
other things:
For a long time l have watched
with alarm the growing marriage and
divorce evil. Divorce laws generally
need reform, but the first and most
vital question Is that the laws In all
states should be Identical. so l was
glad to introduce the bill prepared by
the General Federation OF Women's
| Clubs. At the outset l am not pre-
pared to state that l favor all the
terms of the bill. but II Is fair be-
| ginning and from II we should get
reasonable, sane and safe nationwide
/ law"
| Mrs. White has prepared In the judg-
ment of many. the best draft of ma
tional marriage and divorce law ever
drawn. 1t is not probable. however,
even In the event OF n constitutional
amendment permitting legislation. that
the bill would be passed as drawn.
Congress, of course would debate its
provisions ut great length, and prob
ably would make many changes. II is
of interest, however, to know what
2,5O0,000 educated and reputable Amer
lean women from all parts Of the coun-
try think should be the national uni
form marriage and divorce law of the
land Here are some Of ~, high
points in Mrs. Whites bill:
One of the purposes Of the bin Is to
prevent hasty and foolish marriages.
The age at which girls and boys may
marry with consent Of the parents is
fixed at sixteen years for girls and
eighteen years for boys. The age at
