stepping out" is new and effec-
tive cuphemism in the divorce courts.
John Preston Knox of San Francisco
told the judge he wanted divorce
''becausc my wife wants to step out"
She wrote him that he was too slow,
he said, and did her stepping out"
with r. C. Dicl, professional auto.

husband. The stepping out" being
proved. the husband got the divorce.
Lady Cathcart, thanks to q habeas
corpus writ. stays with US, and the
Aduitania sailed for Europe yester-
day with one empty cabin that Secre-
tary Davis had engaged to deport~ the
Englishwoman whose "moral past"
offends our high standards.
That cabin in the Aquitania is in.
teresting. The lady did not pay for
it, as she was to be sent away against
her will.
Did Uncle Sam pay for it, and if
so, did he engage private cabin IN
the Aquitania, first class; because the
lady accused OF immortality had a
British title?
Many mothers with children, with
no past Objectionable to our national
purity, are deported day after day
from Ellis Island in the steerage.
Why the discrimination in favor
of the charming lady to be sent home
because she once eloped with man
not her husband? We seem to mix
respect for British rank with our
hatred of loose morals.
Secretary Davis, with intentions
and moral character Of the best, says:
"Lady Vera Cathcart was seeking ad-
yertising and has got it, all right"
THAT may be. YBut Uncle sam was
not seeking advertising as very silly

PEOPLE
HAVE'M0NEY AT
HAIL BUREAU
Manager of Hail Insurance
Department Has $16,-
8O3.17 to Distribute.

Martin S. Hagen, manager of the
state hail insurance department., has
$16,803.17 on hand which he would
like to pay to the 1,40S citizens to
whom it belongs, This amount rep
resents the sum of hail warrants
made out by the state department to
persons having claims against the
hail insurance fund but who cannot
be found to receive the money.
In some cases the warrants have
never left the department office be-
cause no address was given by the
claimants. In other cases the war
rants have been mailed to the post
office or other address but have been
unclaimed. Although most of the
warrants are for small sums they
range in amounts from less than a
dollar to nearly $500.
Walsh County Has Clean Slate
Only one Of the 53 counties in the
state has clean record with the hail
department in this respect. 1t is
Walsh county.
Dickey county leads the list in the
amount due with $1,310.96 and Adams
county is second with $1,266. %.
Grand Forks, with only $1.76 due. is
next to Walsh county in the paid up
class.
Most of the unpaid warrants, Hagen
said, have been held over from prior
years. In a number of cases, he be-
lieves, people left the farms before
the warrants were paid and some OF
them left the state. He may ask the
next legislature to make some pro-
vision for outlawing hail claims after
q certain time from the date of issue
because they are beginning to clog
his files.
Unpaid Claims
The unpaid claims listed by coun'
ties. in addition to those already men.

PICTURES EXPECTED TO
REVEAL FINGER PRINTS

AllnOugn they nave very few clues
upon which to work. Grant county
authorities are waiting anxiously for
the completion Of pictures taken at

, the room in which Fred Stoller was
found murdered late Sunday night and
it is hoped that the pictures will dis
! close finger prints which may be
used in search for the murderer.
The wife and sons of the murdered
man believed at first that he had ac-
Icidentally set fire to the bedclothes
| while smoking. and that he had been
overcome by the smoke before he
could get out of the room. They
drove to Carson to notify the auth
critics when they found the dead
body on the floor. When the officers
examined the place upon their ar
rival they discovered the blood stains
and found that Stoller's skull had
been crushed in three places with
some blunt instrument, presumably
| a hammer.
Robbery the Motive
Robbery was clearly the motive
for the crime. according to Mr.. Mel
SON. as it had been generally known
in that vicinity for some time that
Mr.. Stoller carried large sums OF
money sewed into his clothing: The
greater part of this is now missing.
