ANGRY HUSBAND SUES M'COR MICK
E. w. Jacobs Says Har- vester King Stole Wife's
 Affections

NEW YORK, Dec 30.-The million aire Mccormick harvester family has again been brought into the national limelight. Cyrus H. Mccormick, son of the inventor of the reaper and foun- der of the Mccormick fortune, has been sued for $500,000 by Edwin W. Jacobs of New York for alleged alienation of the affections of Mrs. Jacobs.
 Existence of the suit was revealed late Tuesday by H. Starr Giddngs. at torney for Mccormick, when he filed an application designed to transfer the action to the United States district court.
 Jacobs alleges that Mccormick has showered presents and money upon Mrs Jacobs, beautiful young matron, and has so completely turned her head that she no longer cares for the plaintiff.
 Jacobs Is Silent
 At his home Tuesday night Jacobs refused to discuss the suit and referred all inquiries to his attorneys. The at torneys, however apparently were mak- ing an attempt at secrecy, and had left word at their homes that they would not return until goodness knew when.
 Jacobs is not actively engaged in business and is said to have inherited sufficient money to make his independ- entity wealthy. He is 45 years old, and his wife is ten years younger.
 Mccormick, the chairman of the board of directors of the International Harvester company, is brother of Harold F. Mccormick, who married Ganna Walska, the singer. He is about 60, and along with other children of his mother, the late Mrs Cyrus H. Me Cormick, ST., who died in 1923, re- ceived nearly $3000,000 as his share of a trust fund left by his father, in addition to other funds he already had received.
 Summons Is Served
 In applying for the change of juris- diction, Giddings said it was made on the usual grounds that the parties in the suit reside in different states. Com plaint and summons in the suit have been served on Mccormick, but have not been filed.
 Jacobs has no basis for his allega- tions," Giddings declared. But we shall be prepared at the proper time so that if Jacobs has lost the affections of his wife our client will in no way be held responsible"

ALL ITALY IS
STIRRED BY new
FASCIST CRIMES
Province of Parma Is in
State of Siege
tspscIaI to The palIy Workerl

ESPECIAL TO The Daily Wnrker)
CHlASSO, ItaIo-Swiss from
tier, Nov. THE province Of
Parma is today in a state of
siege, and the governors of
Trent, Milan, Turin, Verona and
Trieste are preparing to estab-
lish a rule of martial law in a
desperate effort to quell the up
risings which have been fiaring
ID all over Italy as a result of
the shooting by Fascist militia
of twelve ex-soldiers who were
taking part in Armistice Day
celebrations in Rome.
Fire On ceIebrators.
The demonstration Of Nov. 4, the
day on which peace was declared be-
tween Austria and Italy, in 1918, was
organized by Italia Liberia, q liberal
association opposed to the fascist re-
gime. The organization aroused the
wrath Of the blackshirts by refusing
to participate in the anniversary cele-
bration Of the fascist march on Rome
two years ago, and by launching an
appeal to the workers OF the country
to oppose the holding of the black
shirt 'sjubilee." While the sympathiz-
ers of the Italia Liberia were march
ing thru the Piazza del Popolo, in
Rome, gang of blackshirt militia
opened fire on them, killing one and
wounding eleven.
A tense situation has resulted. Gen.
eral Varini of the militia has chal-
lenged General GaribaIdi to a duel as
result of Garibaldf's manifesto
charging the militia with RESPONSE
bility for the attack in the Piazza del
Popolo. Deputies Violo and Ponzio
San Sebastino, up to now staunch sup
porters of fascist rule, have resigned
from parliament following a visit to
Mussolini during which they attempt
ed to make him give up the dictator
ship.
The fascist, in their turn, are deter
mined to crush every attempt at re-
bellion, even tho it be only symbolic.
An ex-soldier in Brescia visited the
graves of number of ex-soldiers, and
attempted to decorate the graves with
red flowers and photographs of Giaco-
mo Matteotti, socialist, who was Slain
by gang Of fascist. Blackshirts seiz-
ed the soldier and tore the flowers
and photographs from him.
Mass Revolt Evident.
But beneath the mere legal form Of
rebellion-beneath official visits to the
premier and designations from the
parliament, runs the current of mass
revolt. Labor organizations and the
Communist Party are going about
their tasks of organization with re-
newed vigor, preparing the working
class for the struggle which is immi-
nent. Parma, the province which has
been placed under martial law, is the
center of syndicalism in Italy, and
has been the scene of constant fight
ing against the fascist government
ever since the blackshirts establish
ed themselves In power. In Parma,
and in other labor and peasants CEN
ters, workers organizations have
launched manifestos, telling the work
res that now, il ever, is the time to
raise che red flag and to take up
arms against their oppressors.
The strictest censorship has been
established turnout the country. For
eign correspondents attempting to
send news thru the regular channels
have been stopped.

Former KenOshan
Accidentally Killed
Frederick Schaefer, 90, Electric Line
man, Killed at Globe, Arizona,
on Monday Says Report.

Frederick Schaefer, aged 20 years,
formerly of Kenosha, was instantly
killed Monday morning at Globe, Ari-
iona, according to word received this
morning by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Christian Schaefer, 588 Superior street.
The details of the accident in which
he met his death were not revealed;
he was employed as lineman for the
Globe Light and Power company and
it is presumed that he was electrocuted
while at work for that company. An
inquest into the death is being held
today at Globe with result that the
remains will not start on the last
journey until Wednesday morning.
The deceased was born in Russia,
July 5, 1895. He came to America
at an early age and had lived for many
years in Kenosha. In 1911 he had left
Kenosha and little was known of his
whereabouts until the death message
was received on Monday. Reports
from Arizona declare that during the
World War he served for ten months
in the American army.
Surviving the deceased are his par
ents, of Kenosha, two brothers, Rein
hold, of Kenosha, and Edwin, of North
Dakota, and two sisters, Mrs. Gilbert
Rain, Kenosha, and Mrs. Herman
Breilings of Kenoaha.

Father of DevIin Testifies.

Lawrence P. Devlin, Bristol, the
father Of the deceased Edward Dew
lin, took the witness stand at the re-
quest of the coroner in an effort to
learn more information about Dew
lin himself. The father was able to
give little light to the court on the
accident, not having been witness.
He testified that he had last seen his
son at one o'clock Thursday when he
left the home in the roadster without
saying where he was going. TIE told
of how he went to the Hansen Nor
tuary in Kenosha late in the evening
when he learned that it might have
been his SON who was in the accident.
The mangled condition Of the re-
mains, however, recluded all attempts
to identify the body, but watch and
other articles found in the clothing of
the deceased showed conclusively
that it was Edward Devlin.
With all of this evidence the COR
oner's jury chose not to return a ver-
diet at this time and the inquest was
adjourned until Friday
Attorney Peter Meyers represented
the st. Paul railroad at the hearing,
and Attorney A. S. Cantwell of Chi
cage represented the estate of the de-
ceased.

BLOOD FLOWS FREELY
In NEW TONG WAR
Three Cinnamon Are Killed in New
York in the Last Twenty
four Hours.

New York City - Police were pre-
pared today to take drastic measures
to prevent further bloodshed in the
renewed hostilties between members
of the Chinese longs.
Several hours before the end of an
armistice between the Hip Sings and
the On Leongs Thursday, Chong Food,
an On Leong member, was shot to
death in Bronx laundry. Within 36
hours two other men were seriously
wounded and one was stabbed to death
as he slept in Chinese tenement.
COX I'm was the man stabbed to
death and the two who were shot
through the abdomen in their Brook
Ign laundries, were Gong Sing and Tom
Hong. Neither is expected to recover.
Hong was a Hip Sing and Sing was
the son of an On Leong who told po-
lice that bullets which struck his son
were intended for him. Sing is a
cousin of Chong Food.
Hong and Sing were shot shortly
after meeting between the Chinese
consul general and Acting Police Com
missioner John A. Leach last night at
which the police official promised all
necessary action to halt the bloodshed
and ordered patrolmen station in all
laundries and other places where out
breaks might be expected.
