WIFE A NAGGER;;
ASKS A DIVORCE
E. Stem Files Suit Against
Wife on Grounds of
Cruelty.
CALLED HIM NAMES

Wearied by the continual nagging of
his wife, Evan E. Stem today started
action in circuit court through his at
torney, r. v. Baker, to be freed from
the yoke of matrimony, which he COM
plains has CALLED him until he can
wear it no longer.
On two occasions last year Evans
wife, Jenne, reached the same conclu-
sion and each time started an action
for divorce. The first was started in
February, while the second was in Au-
gust. Both suits have since been dis
missed and now it is Evan who an
nounces that he is through.
The couple took the vows in Milwau-
kee on March A, 1921, the complaint
alleges. Then for three months they
remained deeply in love andtheir mat
rimonial bark sailed untroubled seas.
Shortly after this the wife discovered
that instead of having married a god
she was linked with a plain man who
like other mortals have slight failings
Then she began, gently at first, to up
braid her mate.
Wife Has Hot Temper.
AS time went on the wife began to
have less control of her temper, the
husband alleges She began to find
fault freely, and this habit developed
until it became simple nagging. Fol
lowing this, her treatment became
cruel and she heaped contempt upon
him, he says.
On one occasion she so far forgot
herself that she used vile and obscene
language, interspersed with "high-
powered" profanity.
Three months ago things reached a
pass where the husband declared he
no longer considered it safe or proper
to continue living together. He then
left and considered the advisability of
obtaining a divorce. He claims, how
eyer, that he did not leave until after
the wife had so aggravated him that
it became unbearable.

BOY STRUCK BY
LAUNDRY TRUCK
Kenneth Chambers Taken
to ST. GATHERINGS Hos
pital Yesterday.
DARTS BEHIND CAR
Earl BIeicher Skids Car in At
tempting to Stop When Lad
Runs from Behind Car.

Kenneth, z years old, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lloyd Chambers of 152 Cedar
street, is at St. GATHERINGS hospital
suffering from severe bruises as the
result of being knocked down at Mil
waukee avenue and Middle street late
yesterday afternoon.
Had it not been for the quick ac-
ton on the part of Earl Bleicher,
10 years old, driver of the Reliable
laundry truck which hit the lad, he
would probably have been killed in
stead of just stunned, the police be-
Ieve. Witnesses who saw the acct
dent state that the boy started to
cut across Milwaukee avenue on an
angle, going behind street ear, which
hid him from the drivers view.
The truck was travelling about 20
miles an hour when the boy ran out
from behind the street car. In an at
tempt to keep from striking him.
BIeicher slammed on both the service
and emergency brakes, but the tires
failed to hold on the snow covered
pavements and the rear end of the
machine skidded and struck the lad
ing him unconscious.
Taken to Hospital.
Bleicher Immediately picked the hoy
up and rushed him to St. Catherine's
hospital where a hurried examination
revealed the fact that no bones were
broken. The driver then called the
police and told them what had hap
pened.
1t. Charles Rock and Detective John
Breidt went out to the hospital where
they took statement from Bleicher,
following which they released him.
He is a son of the proprietor of the
laundry and lives at $40 Strong street.
Mr.. Chambers, father of the injured
boy, stated that Kenneth was returning
from plotting his 5-year-old sister,
Violet, across Milwaukee avenue, as
is his custom. Violet is in the kin
dergarten at the Weiskopf school,
the boy is in the second grade.
Through an arrangement with the
school authorities the brother is al
lowed to meet his sister when she
gets out of school, and conduct her
safely across the street each day. He
then returns to his class room. 1t was
while the boy is in the second grade.
the accident happened
Mr.. Chambers, owner of the fish
ing tug Search, was out on the lake
yesterday when the accident happened
and did not learn that his son was
in the hospital until he made port
last night.

IMPROVE CONDITIONS.

Madison, Wis. = Improvement in
housing conditions at the state univer-
sity, especially for women students, is
sought by Senator W. A. Titus, Fond
du Lac, member Of the university
board of visitors.
Titus proposes acquiring dormitory
system adequate for needs of women
students either by leasing or building
necessary quarters. Fewer rooms are
listed in private houses for girls than
for men, he points out and rents are
invariably higher for the women be-
cause they desire to be nearer the uni
versity and because the houses must
conform to certain regulations.

TOO MUCH LEAP
YEAR COURTING
Neal Hammelink Says Girl
Did WOoing and 1t
Bored Him.
SHE SAYS HE BEAT HER
He Says She Broke into His
Room UNLIMITED and that He
HsThrew Her OUT.

Neal Hammelink came into the NUM-
cipal court this morning charged with
assault upon the complaint of Miss
Emma Rose who says that last Sunday
night the young man cheat her up" .
Hammelink pleaded not guilty, and
the case was continued until next
week, March 10, at 900 a. m. Ham
melink was placed under bonds of $50
for appearance at that time.
A warrant for the arrest of Ham
melink was issued at the Office of the
district attorney Monday after Miss
Rose had told her story and made a
complaint. According to Miss Rose,
Hammelink has been her STEADY"
fella" but on Sunday evening he treat
ed her with anything but the tender
ness and consideration of devoted
sweetheart.
The young woman said that she has
been "going with" Mr.. Hammelink for
over year, and that they have att
tended places of amusement together
many times during that period. She
just naturally set aside Sunday even
ings as his own, but last Sunday even
ing she said he did not show up.
Panied and grieved thereat, she went
to the place where he was, but she
did not tell the district attorney where
that was. During her conversation
with Hammelink he became sore" she
said and struck her, beating her up
and hurting her grievously, injuring
her feelings as well as her person.
Love waned under the administration
of blows and later she sought the arm
of the law for redress.
HammeIink Tells His Story.
According to Hammelink he has not
been as devoted to the young woman
as she has been to him. He says he
has found that every rose has thorn.
Und der wilde Knabe sprach.
Roslein auf der Heide.
R0slein wehrte SIGH upd stach--
(Ouch y
Hilf inn NIGHT klein Web und Ach.
Hammelink rooms at the Fischer
hotel where Miss Rose is waitress.
She rooms at another downtown
hotel. Hammelink says she has been
forever after him to take her out to a
show or for a ride, and that he got
tired of it. Cali these admissions are
not quite gallant, but then remember
this is leap year and the young man is
scared. Moreover, he's been pinched,)
On Sunday evening, according to
Hammelink, Miss Rose discarding
convention, ran up to his room in the
hotel and sought admission. He said
he didn't want to open, but she "broke
in" He said she pestered him about
taking her out to show, and
he did "get sore" He says he threw
her out of the room"
Hammelink asked for time this
morning in order that his lawyer, Ed
wardN Ruetz, at present engaged in the
circuit court, might be present when
the hearing is held before Judge
Slater. Postponement was accordingly
granted until the 18th of the month.

BACKED BY COURT
Emergency Act is Not an Innovation
and is Valid, Declares the
Supreme Court.

ion in the state normal regents case
against Secretary of State Zimmerman
which was handed down today by the
supreme court. A memorandum CIV
ing the courts ruling was handed

I'm the present case, no attempt was
made to confer legislative powers upon
the three state officers" the ruling
written by Justice Johnes declared.

mite in amount was complete when the
bill became a law, although mo- ex-
penditures under the appropriation
were to be made until certain facts
were to be certified by the public Of
fcers."
The court sustained the normal
board in all its contentious.

Pukcikus is Sentenced to
Prison Term in Waupun
for Crime.
MOON AND A KNIFE
Judge Tells Him He Reached
the Road Where Moonshine
Drinking Leads.

. Five minutes of using knife on
the face and person of another man
last Sunday afternoon, cost Albin
Pukcikus, 20 North West Main street,
FIVE years in the state prison at
Waupun.
The man who cut off Steve Koschoe's
nose Sunday listened to the sentence
this morning without emotion, and
prepared to take leave of his ac-
qaintances here as if he were just
going off to a days work.
Meanwhile Koschoe> of 26 North
Congress street, is still at ST.. Cath
crimes hospital whittier he was car
ried following the disgusting affair of
Sunday. The report from the hos
jital this morning announced that the
man would undoubtedly recover and
that he appeared to be fairly COM
Portable.
Moonshine Leads the Way.
Albin stood before the court this
morning, the type of illiterate foreign
err. He said that he had received his
second papers in 1918 after army
service, but there was nothing what
soever in his appearance to suggest
that he was entitled to carry the name
of an American citizen. An inter
prefer was used to explain the charge
and receive the mans explanation and
his plea to the charge.
Tall lanky, with dropping red "soup-
strainer" moustache, the man listened
stolidly to the judge and the interpre-
ter. The court asked him if he under
stood that upon a plea of guilty to-
such a charge he could impose a
prison sentence of from one to
stood that.
Job But No Money--No Wife.
Inquiring into the mans history the
judge found that he was unmarried,
but steadily employed at one of the
local factories at wages of 427s cents
an hour. Albin said he worked ten
hours day. He had not saved any
money, nor paid his attorney in the
assault case Of two years ago.
What have you done with your
money!" asked the judge.
Spent IT." said the defendant.
Eyes, on moonshine," said Judge
Slater. 'You were arrested for being
drunk year ago, and two years ago
you were arrested for assaulting an
other man with knife. You are
pretty handy with knife. At that
time you received fine, pbut this time
you will get something else"
Albin said that he did not know
what happened on Sunday afternoon
when he whipped out knife and cut
up his friends, but admitted that if it
had not been for "moonshine" it would
not have happened.
you will be committed to the state
prison at Waupun for five years at
hard labor" said the judge.
