friends of the couple.
Mrs. Mahlstedt recently brought
her suit in New York, alleging aban-
donment and cruel and inhuman
treatment The case was trans
ferred to White Plains and Mahl-
stedt's counsel presented his side OF
the affair on Tuesday. The couple

In October. 1925, while dancing
with Mr.. Elsner, president Of the
Miami Beach Corporation, at the
! Hotel Plaza, Mrs. Mahlstedt made
spectacle of herself" Humphrey ].
Lynch, the defendants attorney, told
| the court.
Very Drunk
Without mincinE words, the
plaintiff got very drunk"
How is that possible nOw?" inter
jected Judge Tompklns.
"She was able to do So" continued
Lynch, urbanely.
"At 3 a. m, in the Mahlstedt's 8
apartment. the plaintiff insisted upon
telephoning to Mr.. Elsner. Mr..
Mahlstcdt took the receiver from
her and that constitutes one Of the
alleged acts Of cruelty"
Mrs. Mahlstedt gave Il Halloween
party at the Westchester Biltmore
Country Club and drank too many
high balls" the lawyer proceeded
she left her guests TO enter n
private diningroom where members
/ Of golf club were holding n private
dinner. She tried to dance with a
young man in there, but both fell to
the ground.
The manager OF the club put Mrs.
I Mahlstedt out. her husband broke off
relations with her. AID she went
home with a young man.
Next morning, while in the bath
tub. Mr. Mahlstedt was confronted
suddenly by his wife, who was
about to strike him on the head with
large hand mirror. She had been
drinking all night and still had her
youthful cohorts with her.
He Took Mirror
The denfendant took the mirror
from her and she tainted.
"This certainly did not constitute
cruelty. as alleged by the plaintiff.
"Mr. Mahlsteadt complains that
on several occasions his wife
slapped his face and called him: you
little Irishman.'
I'VE will SHOW through testimony
that Mrs. Mahlstedt has been in
toxicated on the dance floor of every
important hotel in New York"
Mrs Mahlstedt maintains her
husband is worth half a million
dollars" while he replies that his
assets do not exceed his liabilities
by more than $4,000, that Mrs
Mahlstedt gambled away his fortune
at roulette last summer. and that
as a last straw. she charged 50 900
mink coat to him the day before
she brought suit for separation

WIDE USE OF LNJUNCTIONS
AS ANTI-LABOR WEAPON
BEGAN WITH RISE OF TRUSTS
BIZ William z. puNNE.

BY WILLIAM F. DuNNE.
TIME first injunction in the United
4 States restraining workers was is
sued in Massachusetts in 1SSS-by a
state court.
In rendering its decision the court
took as precedent the English case
of "The Springfield Spinning Com
pany versus Riley" in which the COM
pany, in 1867, had secured from Vice.
Chancellor Malin an injunction re-
straining its striking employees from
issuing placards and advertisements
warning other workers that strike
was in progress.
OK years later this decision was re-
~ versed by the highest British
authority-the court Of chancery. The
lord chancellors ruled as follows:
The court of chancery had no Jur-
lsdlction to restrain the publication
of libel as such, even If 1t should
be injurious to property.
The Massachusetts decision, now q
precedent for all injunction proceed
ings, was therefore based on a legal
fallacy-an English precedent which
had been thrown out of court four
teen years before the Massachusetts
court based its ruling upon it.
THE respect for English common
i law on the part of American
courts is myth and nothing more.
Precedents established in English law
are good or bad as they serve or him
der the aims of the American CAPT.
| talists.
1t was not long after the Massachu
sets decision until the capitalists gen
orally began to recognize the value of
injunctions as weapon against the
workers.
The federal courts began to be used
and the spread of the injunction
menace comedies with the tremendous
justification of industry which began
in the late SOS and continued thru
the SOS to the present day.
| TN 1891 an injunction was issued by
the United States circuit court OF
| the District of Columbia restraining
Typographical Union No. Of Cincin-
natl from boycotting the Common
wealth." a newspaper in Covington,
Kentucky.
Then came the famous, or rather
infamous, injunction issued in behalf
of the mine owners of Idaho against
the strike of the Western Federation
of Miners in the Occur D. Alene min
ing district in 1892. This was the
first appearance of the injunction in a
mass struggle Of workers against a
really powerful capitalist group.
lNTEXT in order was the Injunction is
IN sued on March II, 1898, against
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers by William H. Taft, Judge of
the U. S. circuit court of the Southern
lOhio district.
This Injunction, from which Taft de-
rived his nickname Of Injunction
Bill" prohibited the officers and mem
bers of the Brotherhood from issuing
any instructions not to handle, re-
ceive or deliver cars to and from the
Toledo and Ann Arbor Railroad Com
pany.

sued against the Brotherhood Of Rail-

hour for switchmen.
Strikebreakers are receiving 81 an
hour, plus board, lodging. and special
police protection. When the scabs
were photographed by newspaper
camera men in the big I. r. T.
barracks, all Of them turned their
faces away or hid behind hats-with
the single exception of Alexander
Farlinger, the ex-scenic railway man.
He regarded the job as a lark and
posed for the photographers.
Submit Names.
The strikers submitted, with an Of
fer to arbitrate, the names of three
prominent clergymen from whom a
mediator might be chosen. The clergy
men suggested were William Mont
gomery Brown, recently deposed as a
bishop by the Protestant Episcopal
church; Rev. S. Parks cadman, presi-
dent of the Federal Council of Chur-
ches; and Father Francis p. Duffy,
chaplain of the Goth Infantry. But
the company refused to arbitrate.
Edward p. LAWN, Harry Bark, and
J. G. Phelan are leading the strikers
who have broken away from the COM
pany brotherhood and who have
formed a new union known as the
Consolidated Railroad Workers.

They are most popular with the two
toned pattern, the top in blue, gray

They are made in bigger head sizes
for long tresses or older women.
Because of their resemblance to
Satan's helmet, they are often called
Diablo hats. Reboux originated the
model in Paris as a novelty, but in
America they have become a fash
ion. The bonnet is also called the

variations.

THE WOMAN'S DAY
By Allene Sumner

this is the very thing that can't be
done. Falling in love on the part
of a man or a maid is something
quite apart from the world Of reason
and "fault-judging.
Men and women do not fall il love
because of what the other person is,
so much as in spite of it. Biologists
are convinced that there is no rhyme
nor reason to falling in love with the
usual elimination of marriage. And
il a girl loves a man, she does not
care a hang about his faults, even if
she recognizes them for faults.
Black Bear and OpOssum
a Christmas day menu from a IA
nous old hotel of 1879 is featured in
a popular magazine ad today. The
menu is reprinted in full. 1t boasts
leg of black bear, Tennessee opossum,
Kentucky coon, roasted quail, saddle
of venisorf canvas-back and red-head
ducks, blue-wing and wood ducks,
roasted wild turkey, wild goose, prai-
RE chicken, broiled pheasants, roast
ed Mallard duck sucking pig, capon
and few other trlfles.
Soup and Salad
The world today and the world
then are different in many ways.
But perhaps in no way so strikingly
different as in the world Of eating.
To be sure. this was a special menu,
Christmas menu, but not so diff
ferent from everybody's "groaning
board" No system, no balance, no
planning, just dump on the table
anything and everything that's in
the house, and whether it harmon
ICES any better than pink pansies on
a purple hat, doesn't matter at all.
Meat and meat and more meat, two
or three kinds of pie. and perhaps
total dearth of vegetables or salad.
Todays balanced rational meal of
soup. meat, potatoes and vegetable
salad, and dessert, is only one way
in which the world has changed for
the better.

NOT MUCH FLU NOW
But Smallpox Is on Increase In
State, Report Shows.

The "fiu," which during the war
and Immediately afterward played
havoc with thousands of Hoosier
citizens, as we'll as others through
out the United States; now is almost
negligible( according to the weekly
morbidity report of the Indiana
board of health.
Not a single case of inf1tenza was
reported from any Indiana city dur
ing the week ending last Saturday,
the report shows. There were but
sixty cases in the entire State, all
in the rural districts.
Smallpox, which was reduced to a
minimum during the war days, due
to general vaccination, again is on
the increase. A total of 176 cases
were reported. Health authorities
advise vaccination whenever there
is the slightest danger Of exposure.

CHARGES ATTACK
AIMED TO CHECK
SPEECH FREEDOM
Peace Advocate Declares
University of Oklahoma
Was Scene of Opposition.
Times WqshinQtoy bureau.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The lat
est attempt to suppress free speech
centers at the University of Okla
homa, Norman, Okla. according TO
John Nevin Sayre, Episcopalian min
lister and peace advocate.
Sayre, in a letter to Secretary of
War Davis, charged that Lieut.. Col.
G.. C. Lewis of the seth Reserve Di-
vision, Oklahoma City, attempted to
prevent Sayre's addressing students
at, Norman, Dec. 8.
Lewis wrote a letter to President
Bizzell of the university, Sayre said,
accusing him of communistic tenden-
cies. He included this letter in his
protest to Davis.
A group of students opposed to
compulsory military training at
tempted to obtain the university
Y. M. c. A. for his speech, he says,
but were unable to do so, and the
meeting was held in the First Pres
byterian Church, off the campus.
Sayre said he was heckled by a
uniformed student, accompanied by
the major in charge Of the r. o. T.
C. unit, and Lewis, arriving late, de-
nounced him and launched into
TRADE against the Bolsheviki.
Lewis letter to President Bizzell
says:
II hope you will be able to curb
pernicious tendencies at Norman"
as quoted by Sayre.
Sayre, writing to Davis, asked:
II should like to know if you con-
slider 1t a proper function of an
army officer to attempt to shut off
free speech in universities, Y. NJ. G.
AS and even churches. If the vs.
Department does not take energetic
measures to restrain Lewis and
others will 1 not be justified in
charging that the War Department
is responsible for the campaign OF
defamation of character and the at
tempt to repress free speech for
peace, in which its subordinates are
engaged?"
