HUSBAND TRIES
TO END LIFE
w. Henson, Husband of Ke-
nosha Girl, Takes POis-
on in Chicago.
OUTCOME OF TANGLE
Suicide Attempt Comes as Out
come of Alleged kidnapping of
Bride by Frances Parker.

AS an aftermath of the episode at
Waukegan recently when Frances
Parker, formerly of Kenosha, was hail
ed before the sheriff as he was at
tempting to whisk away Mrs. Mabel
Henson to her parents home in Ke-
nosha, Will Henson, %, Of Chicago,
husband Of the former Kenosha girl,
took iodine in an effort to end his
life The attempt at suicide was un-
successful.
That Henson had tried to end his
life was told in a telegram from his
mother received by Sheriff Ahlstrom
of Waukegan and explaining why the
husband had not appeared to swear
out warrant against Parker. 1t
read as follows: /
Failure to serve warrant On Fran
els Parker and Mabel Henson was de-
layed by the collapse Of my son caus-
ed by an attempt at suicide earlier to-
day by drinking iodine. Case in my
lawyers hands"
The telegram was signed by Mrs.
H. II. Henson.
Had KenOshans Halted.
Parker, who was formerly a resi-
dent Of Kenosha, but who now lives
in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and is visiting
here, was arrested with Mrs. Henson
as result Of telephone call sent
by Mrs. Henson to the Waukegan@
sheriff maintaining that the wife had
been whisked away from her home
against the husbands wishes.
Parker claimed that he had BEEN
asked by the girls father, Michael
Dorfmeister, Of Kenosha, to bring the
girl home and that he was merely a
friend Of the family. He was spend-d
ing q vacation in Kenosha.
Kenoshans Are Released.
AS result of the failure Of Henson
to appear against them both Kenoshans I
were released by the Waukegan Off
Gals. Through his attorney, Parker
was allowed to end his enforced visit
at the sheriff's office under the agree
ment that should he return to his |
home in Fl. Dodge, Iowa, he would |
come back without extradition in the
event that a warrant was taken out
against him. 3
At the same time Mrs. Henson, wife
of the attempted suicide, was given
permission to come to the home Of
her parents in Kenosha.
Mrs. Henson, the mother of the Chi
cago man, maintains, according to
Sheriff Ahlstrom, that she will charge
Parker with kidnapping.
Officers we're inclined to believe /
howev5r, that no further legal action
would follow and that after the excite
ment had subsidized a reconciliation
would be arranged in some way.

have dragged the river for miles below
the scene of the accident and have
patroled the. banks of the river, hop
ing to catch some trace of the other
body.
Villages and communities farther
down the Fox river have been apprised
of the accident and have been told to
be on the lookout for the body. 1t is
thought possible that when the waters
recede the body may be found or that
today being the third day after the
tragedy, the body may come to the
surface of the water.
Coast Guard Finds Body.
The body of Miss Mary Doody was
recovered by a crew from the Keno
sha coast guard station who were
summoned to aid in searching for the
bodies by Coroner Truman 7. Park
err. This crew made systematic
search with graphing hooks of the
river for more than one hundred and
fftv feet below the scene of the
tragedy. The hooks caught on the
clothing Of the younger woman and
brought the body TO the surface.
The coast guard men were in boat
and the body was lifted into the boat
and brought ashore, after which it
was taken TO the Hansen Funeral
Home.
The body was found in mid-stream
about 100 feet from the place where
Ahe automobile had been submerged.
Relatives of Miss Doody came to
Eenosha on Sunday and took charge
of the remains, which are to be ship
ped this noon to Chicago, where the
funeral services will be held on We'd
nesday.
Car Probably Turned Over.
The condition of the wrecked car
seems to indicate that as it hurtled
over the cliff into the river, it must
have turned completely over. The top
is badly damaged in such way as to
indicate that the car turned turtle,
and then rolled into the river after
turning completely over. 1t is thought
probably that both of the women
were stunned by the force of this and
that they were unable to make any eff
forts to free themselves from the
watery prison,
Bell, the driver of the car, says that
he does not know just what happened,
but that he found himself in the water,
he fought his way out, thinking per-
haps his companions were out Of the
car. His story contains nothing which
would not leave reason to believe
that the car turned completely over.
Inquest This Afternoon.
Coroner Truman T. Parker has set
two-thirty O'clock this afternoon as
the time for the formal inquest into
the drowning. R. II. Bell, the driver
of the death car, who was also trap
ped in the automobile but who swan
out and was prevented by others from
leaping back into the river in futile
efforts to save his companions, has
been at Burlington hospital, but will
probably be able to attend the in
quest and tell his story of the acct
dent.
Jack Newcomer, husband of Mrs.
Julia Newcomer, the victim whose
body still lies somewhere in the waters
Of the Fox river, came to Kenosha

body. He had planned to leave Chica-
go on the week end vaeation trip
when he was reached by a Kenosha
News representative and told Of the
tragedy.
The theory which he holds of the
accident is that Bell, being unac-
quainted with the road, and also
probably being blinded by lights of an
approaching car, mistook the water
for continuance of the concrete paw
ing and driving straight ahead to
avoid hitting the corner of the bridge,
landed in the river.

FORD'S RAILWAY EXAMPLE

profitably the bankrupt railway
which he took over as an appendix
to his motor factory was not writ
ten for :he urpose Of opposing the
pending railway legislation in Con-
gress. 1t is all the more convipc-
ing for that. The first reason for
his success is that he operates his
railway like mis- factory. His
workers do what they are told, re-
CARELESS of the name of their job.

Labor Board is designed to COM
pei "recoe milton" of the national
continue their "feathered" rules.
On one of the leading railways
there are forty-four rules designed
to restrict service within clasSifi-
cation and thirty-five rules to en-
force duplicate payments for
single service. There are scores of
other rules for classifications de-
signed to increase pay, or to pay
for work not done, or to monopol-
lie jobs for the unions. Henry
Ford could not produce either
service or profits under such rules.
He is able to defy the railway
unions because he pays higher
wages than the unions ask or the
Labor Board awards. That is his
second explanation of his railway
method. He has no labor disputes
and therefore the Labor Board has
no power over him. His minimum
pay is about $25 monthly above the
general average of the highest
class railways, but his men earn
their wages. He began by dismiss
ing 1920 men. and now employs
abuot 300 fewer than the previous
company to transport 100000
more tons. Mr.. Ford says that he
worked his wonders with the aid of
q single million of capital. 1t ap-
pears that he needed in his opera
ton prOportiOnately about as much
now capital as other railways.
His result is creditable, but not
markedly better than the improve
ment on the change from Federal
administration to private opera
ton. There could not he a palmer

MORE NEIGHBORLINESS

The British government in seek
ing, by way of negotiation with the
state department, to provide a
remedy for an unintentioned wrong
which certain American legislation
has done British women.
The American law providing for
the separate naturalization of wo-
men and decreeing that a woman
does not acquire or lose citizenship
by marriage, leaves a British wo-
man who marries an American a
woman without a country as long
as she resides under the British
flag.
The British authorities consider
her an American and the American
consul says she is not.
The inconvenience becomes es-
pecially great if she desires to
leave the country, although there
are many other disadvantages and
legal disabilities connected with
her status.
The remedy sought, by agree
ment with the state department. is
t. entitle such a woman. for pass
port purposes only, to be consid-
cred an American citizen in ac-
cordance with common interna-
ton law and thus straighten out
the tangle.
1t follows in a sense the preced-
ent of the liquor treaty, which also
sought to smooth out a wrinkle in
the jointure of international and
American law.
