STOVE EXPLOSION
DESTROYS FARM HOME

The fine farm home of Fred Gel
mann near Blue Earth was totally
destroyed by fire last week with a
loss of $4,000. The fire was caused
by an exploding gasoline stove. Mr..
and Mrs. Geiman had gone to the
home of a neighbor to help thresh.
Three of the children were left at
home, and while they were preparing
a meal, the stove exploded. None of
the children were hurt or burned, but
the fire gained such Roadway that
the house could not be saved.

JUDGE GISLASON ORDERS
MUTUAL TO PAY INSURED

Judge A. B. Gislason of Marshall,
last Saturday found in favor of Os-
car Beal in his case against the Slay-
ton Township Farmers Mutual Fire
Insurance company, in which Mr.. Beal
sued that company for a settlement
on an insurance policy carried on the
Valhalla dance pavilion which was
burned to the ground last March. The
company had refused settlement on
the grounds that the insured failed
to pay $1,000 assessment within the
required time, which made his policy
null and void. The case was argued
and following the facts submitted
Judge Gislason ordered that the COM
pany pay the plaintiff the sum of
$4,000, with interest at the rate of 6
per cent from March 3, 1928.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Three
IN popular American poets are
involved in the recent marriage of
Louis Untermeyer, in which his
first wife becomes the third, and
Virginia Moore relinquisheS her po-
Sition as second, to become the ex-
wife.
Louis Untermeyer, poet and an
thrologist, married Jean Starr, a
writer of verse, in 1907. He di-
vorced her in 1926 to marry Vir-
GINA Moore, one of the lovelieSt
and most promising of the young
poets today. Immediately after
their divorce, which recently was
granted, he remarked his first wife.
IT remarked my first wife," I'm
termeyer said, because I usually
love her. That is as good rea-
son as I know for marrying any
body. 1 am not the first man who
has remarked his wife. 1t hap
pens every now and then"
There we're rumors that Inter
meyer and his first wife would be
reconciled last year, after their son
Dick committed suicide at Yale uni
yersity.
Friends of the two point out that
the Untermeyers are fulfilling the
prophecy Untermeyer penned ten
years ago in his poem, Home.

The present indebtedness is

hospital building programs now
projected will make serious inroads
into the 100000 margin and Off
Gals are expected to proceed with
caution in committing the city to
further large bond issues until a
considerable portion of the present
debt is met.
Seek to Keep Margin
Officials desire to preserve large
margin for protection in case of
emergency, such as an earthquake,
tornado or gigantic flood, which
might destroy expensive public
works.
Mayor L. Ert Slack has been
studying the bonding situation with
the view of curtailing further out
lays of public funds.
The mayor is anxious to turn the
municipality over to the city man
ager form of government in 1890
without a heavy Indebtedness.
Slack pointed out that three
major projects totaliing about
$2,045,00 had been forced" on his
administration by circumstances
and public necessity.
Blocks Spending Moves
The 100000 food prevention bond
issue passed during the Slack re-
gime begun before he took office,
the city hospital building program
which calls for an expenditure of
at least $750,000 has been pending
two years and the $675,000 airport
project grew out of the demand to
keep the city apace with other key
cities in aeronauticS.
Slack temporarily blocked the
movement for a 100000 coliseum
which was started by former Mayor
John L. Duvalls administration be-
cause of the heavy load on the
treasury.
City Controller Sterling r. Holt
declared that there is no danger of
the city reaching its bonding lim1
except in event of major cataStro-

Holt pointed out that the park
district has SO 1853 900 and the Sani-
tary district $3,632,O0O outstanding
in bond. The park bond limit is
S., 161 900 and the sanitary district

dition to the $13,5OO,00O general

OTHERS PRAISE JURIST

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5.-Judge
Ben B. Lindsey, famous Denver
jurist and champion of companion
ate marriage, is opposed to compul-
sorry birth control.
II cannot agree that any court
has the right to impose birth con-
troll on a man or woman" Lindsay
said in statement today to the
United Press, commenting on a
unique decision handed down by a
Cleveland (O0 judge, sentencing a
young couple to three years of birth
control.
Judge Lindsey recognized, how
ever, the precedent established by
the decision.
1.-THE Cleveland decision is unique
in that the judge recognizes the
legality of birth control Lindsey
said.
Judge Harrison Ewing of the
Cleveland common pleas court Tues
day told Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Kourim
they must refrain from having chill
dren for three years. This dictum
was in answer to the couples pc
tition for a divorce. The divorce
was refused. Kourin was earning
$24 a week. There we're three chill
dren born in three years.
Judge Ewing said this was en-
tirely too many to raise on Kou-
rims salary.
Apprised of the Cleveland judges
action, Judge Lindsey told the
United Press that, In his opinion,
no judge legally has the right to
say to any man or woman you shall
not have children"
Judge Lindsey, meanwhile, intends
TO carry on his fight for the "op-
portunity for the freedom of choice
of women in this country to have
their children when they want them
and not on a basis Of chance"

SUIT HITS CITY
FLOOD CONTROL
County Commission Moves
to Save Bridge.

County commissioners, repre-
Sented by County Attorney Clinton
H. Given, late Tuesday filed suit
against Mayor l.. Ert Slack, board
Of works members and the National
Concrete Company, to prevent tear
ing down of the Morris street White
river bridge as part Of the flood
prevention project.
The suit alleged the plans to de-
stroy the structure and erect a new
one have not been those approved
by county commissioners.
The complaint alleged county
commissioners were under the i'm
pressions that the bridge was to
be heightened in span area to reach
the river banks after the channel
had been widened. 1t also is al
legged that 'the pretended contract
calls for tearing down the present
structure and that moves already
have been taken along these lines.
According to commissioners, they
were not informed of the change Of
plans, and approved only plans to
remodel the structure. Merle N. A..
Walker, attorney, representing par
ties involved, told commissioners
they we're present when the new
bridge plan was up for approval
and signed in favor of it.
The bridge is the property of
Marion county, is adequate to han
die traffic, and destruction of it
merely would add an additional As

suit stated.
The suit was filed in superior

Action Called Noble

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-ConsenSus
of leading advocates of birth con-
troll here today was that Judge Har-
rison Ewing of Cleveland common
pleas court did noble thing in or
dering Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Kourim
not to have any children in the next
three years.
DR.. James E. Cooper, medical di-
rector of the clinical research de-
partment of the American birth con-
troll league, told the United Press
he believed Judge Ewing did we'll to
recommend such solution to the
domestic difficulties of the Kourims,
who were trying to support three
children on Kourim'S $24 a week
salary.
DR.. Cooper said he believed the
Judge used sagacity in refusing to
break UP the Kourim home.
May Give Advice
DR.. Cooper is author of "The
Technique of Contraception,' a
treatise on birth control which only
the medical profession lawfully may
possess!
Under Ohio laws, any physician
may advise married folk on birth
control if it is deemed wise for
economic or health reasons. In New
York state it is unlawful to give out
contraceptive advice.
officials of the birth control clinic
of the league in New York City,
have found by observation since
1923 that more than half the cases
appealing to the clinic included men
or women with incomes less than
the industrial conference boards
$50 to $40 week estimated stand
ard living cost for a family of moth
er, father and three children.
Law Is AssaiIed
The Kourim family is exactly this
size-the size of family adopted by
all statistical experts as the aver
age family.
DR.. Cooper complained that the
New York state. law has prevented
the league from helping in cases
where advice might have brought
about cure or prevention of disease
Mrs. F. Robertson Jones, presi-
dent of the American Birth Control
League, championed Judge Ewing
and said, Lack of birth control
causes a great deal of marital un-
happiness"
