Husband of II Wives
Comes To His Death
FOrSaken in Prison

OSS.NING, \. Y, Aug. 7.-George
Schultz, 6S, Sing Sings most married
inmate, died Wednesday. and of the
2l women whom he was believed to
have married, none could be found
to claim his body.
Before Schultz died, he gave pri-
son authorities addresses of two of
his wives, the only two he could re-
member, he said. However, in
quiries at both addresses revealed
that the women had moved.
Sentenced in New York last April
to a two and one-half years term
for grand larceny, Schultz was serv-
ing his eighth term in this state.
Previously he had served 10-year
term for bigamy; in 1912 was sem
fenced for five years on a similar
charge, and prior to that he had
served two separate terms for grand
larceny. I'm 1896 he served a sell
tence for bigamy and on two other
occasions had been sentenced for
larceny.
Schultz was knowh~, to police
throughout the country for his adj
ventures with gulliblc women and
for his scheme for deceiving them
which netted him thousands of dol
lars, all of which he squandercd, he
afterward admitted. "

This is the first time the national
dairy exposition has ever been held

agriculture, the bureau of dairying,
the Southern State colleges of agri-
culture, the state agricultural forces,
railroad development departments
and the Tri-State fair are all taking

outstanding merit.
Practically all of the regular de.
partments of the fair have been re-
taincd and enlarged. Several new
and unique features have been ad-
dcd. Premiums offered are so lib
eral that they should attract ex-
hibitors from far and near. Only
by studying the premium list can
one grasp the tremendous scale upon

breeds of cattle-Jerscy, Ayrshire.

stein.
Particular attention has been given

Civilization Dependent
Upon Religion, SQyS
George Bernard ShdW

CHICAGO. Aug. 9.-"This much
know. looking at life at 20; men
without religion are moral cowards
and mostly physical towards too
when they are sober"
This is one of the tart expressions
of George Bernard Shaw. famous
author, playwright and philosopher,
who granted George Sylvester Vier-
icsk an interview which will appear
in Liberty Magazine this week. Con-
tinuing, Shaw says:
Civilization cannot survive with
out religion. can conceive of sal
yation without a God, but | cannot
conceive of ii without religion.
Evolution is a mystical process.
II engulfed Europe in the World
war. Germany was not specially to
blame for the great conflict. Com
pared with Weismann, the kaiser
was as innocent as a lamb. Even
Poincare was comparatively guilt
less. The cause of Europe'S miserieS
was its lack of religion"
Discussing socialism and his advo-
cacy of equality of income. Shaw
said:
"lf you destroy the social balance
by making man mOnStrously rich,
you destroy that mans mental bal
ancc also. All rich men who are
nothing but rich men, are mad men.
Nero was civilized person en-
dOwed with remarkable talents. But
the possession of supreme power
made him crazy. If he had not gone
crazy he would have made name
for himself as a violinist."
Concerning love, Shaw let himself
loose with fine burst of contempt.
Love" he said, lacks personal in
tercst. Love is the most impersonal
of all the passions. Even Shakes
peare could not make il interesting.
Every man is the same sort of idiot
when he is in love.
"A happy marriage may last %
years; sex infatuation cannot be
depended upon to last 50 minutes.
But the infatuation may produce
first baby.
bad temper is better ground for
divorce than adultry. The relations
OF the sexes can never be really
wholesome until woman achieves
complete economic emancipation"
What would you do with pow
erty?"
Prohibit it. If necessary by put
ting to death every person earning
less than $4,000 a year or asking for
more. Poverty is malignant and
infectious disease, and idleness is
the root form of the crime of theft"
DO you think marriage will de-
velop along the revolutionary lines
evolved by the Russians?"
THE Russians have not evolved
any revolutionary lines. They have
frightened up the Russian marriage
'9w so as to force persons who live
Il 'her to marry one another, even
Il .ey have to divorce their wives
ard husbands to make that pos
sible."

Rickdrd Goes TO
Chicago to N0ke
Fight Preparations

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Promotcr Tea
Rickard of New York. who ha,
brought the worlds heavyweight
championship fight between Gene
Tunney, the champion. and Jack
Dempsey, the challenger, to Chicago
arrived in the city today to SET his
machinery in motion for the big
/ contest on Soldiers Field on Sep
tcmber %.
Rickard lost no time to announce
that all railroad offices in the coun.
Try will act as his ticket agencies.
The promoter stated that any boxirg
fan no matter where he lives, can re-
serve a seat when he purchases his
railroad ticket
The agent in the station where the
railroad ticket is purchased will
telegraph the Chicago office of that
railroad and the local agent in turn
will secure the ticket for the pas
Senger. Rickard asserted prac-
tically eevry railroad in the country
is cooperating and he intimated the
railroads will take in more money
than the fight.
Orders for tickets are now being
taken at the Congress hotel. Some
time this week a regular headuuar-
ters will be established in the Loop
In the meantime reservations are be-
ing received at the Congress hotel.
Checks should be made payable to
either Tex Rickard or George Getz.
The tickets, which are being printed
in New York and will bear en-.
graved cuts of Tunney and Dempsey,
will be ready for distribution on
August l6.
Rickard repeated former state
ment regarding the tickets, He
stated flatly he will have nothing TO
do with their distribution. A com
mittee composed of three men, whose
names will be kept secret, will be
apCinted, Mayor Thompson will
name one, George Gets another, and
President f. J. Kelly of the South
Park school board the other. All
seats will be reserved, even i'm the
- section, and Rickard expects to
sell every ducat before the day of
the fight.
The eastern promoter asserted the
stadium will seat at least 150,OO per-
sons when the temporary seats are
installed. In fact, few hundred
more may be erected if there is
room. These seats will be installed
by Pat Mulvey, the well known
builder of six-day bicycle tracks,
who came west with Rickard.
Dempsey and Tunney will be in
Chicago not later than August IS to
sign new contracts with George
Getz, who will be the promoter of
the show. This is merely a for
mality of conforming to the Illinois
boxing law. The training camps of
champion and challenger will be es-
tablished not more than an hours
train ride outside of Chicago, ac-
cording to Rickard.
