COOKE DIVORCE CASE
 HAS LOCAL PARALLEL
Continued From First Page)

lieve Cooke from liability for the support of his wife. It was from this decision that the appeal was taken and the supreme court sus- taincd Judge Wolfe.
 While the appeal was pending in the supreme court, Schoell was bound over to the December term of superior court by Judge Stanley J. Traceski, after a lengthy hearing in police court in this city. Because of the similarity in the cases, the states attorneys office did not pre- sent Schoell, choosing to await the Cooke decision. It is expected that Schocll will be presented at the March term. In the meantime he is contributing to the support of his wife, Mrs. Rose SChoell of 362 Park street, this city, from whom he ob- tained a divorce in Nevada before marrying a second time, his bride being Plymouth, Mass. school teacher
 Schoell was brought back from WI "i o'Dltn, Y id, St lew NtthS db U on a non support charge, and later he was brought back from Las Vegas Nevada. Mrs. Rose Schoell has been an invalid for several years, her ailment being arthritis which makes her dependent upon her son and daughter, who are as- sisted by heighbors, for her every want. When she was in police court to testify against her husband, her son carried her in and out of the court room.
 Lawyers who are familiar with the case said today that the supreme court decision means that Schoell's s Nevada divorce is invalid in Con- necticut, and he is liable for the support of his first wife, inasmuch as he deserted her. AS to his second marriage, 1t was said that it might not necessarily follow that prose- cution for bigamy could be sue cessfully brought, as the supreme court ruling does not touch that point in the Cooke case because it could not be raised
 Schoell is at liberty in bonds of | S2,500, awaiting trial in superior court, and Is understood to be living with his second wife.

TRACK MEN AWAIT
 GALL FROM DEPOT
N. B. H. s. Runners to Work
 Out in Gymnasium

Coach Lionel Depot, head of track sports at the senior high school, said yesterday that just as soon as the new building and gym are opened he will start light workouts for con- ditioning the track r'en. Although the official call for track is not is- sued until later in the season, Coach Depot always holds light workouts early in the year as it means just so much less trouble in breaking in the muscles of the candidates during the regular training season.
 Coach Depot will be handicapped from now on with his track squads because there will not be any track in the new gym and the coach will have to depend on outdoor weather for training. However, he always holds cross country runs in the early spring which helps the runners.
 Coach George M. Cassidy called all candidates for the senior high school basketball team together in his office yesterday afternoon for a conference. After the meeting Coach Cassidy sent the candidates to the Nathan Hale gymnasium for practice.
 Class officer elections will be held tomorrow morning during the open ing period. All June classes will elect officers.
 There remain four weeks for the completion of work on the fourth assignment, which is the last of the current semester. It is always nec- cssary for students to do the fourth assignment in four weeks, one week short of the usual time, because Of | the Christmas recess.

Car Found In Bushes

Springfield, Mass, Jan '. P-The sedan believed to have been stolen Saturday night in this city by three escaped convicts from the Wethers- field, Conn.,, prison, was found cariy last night on the Southampton road, leading from the EaSthampton roa], near Holyokc. In the car, police found a heavy white birch club with one end of it freshly pared down as a handle. The machine was discov- cred by road workers about 200 fcet off the road in a remote section that is hardly ever travelled. It was drawn up alongside a heavy growth of brush and did not give any inli- cation of having been deserted in haste Very little gas was left in the tank.
 State police in their search for the fugitives were following up Q lead given by Frank J. Bissell, Jr, that about o'clock Sunday morning he was driving a car along North ampton street leading from Holyoke and that two young men, roughly dressed, asked for lift. He did not stop, but as he reached the inter- section of Dwight street. about q quarter mile on, another youth ac- cCsted him. He seemed fairly w"ll dressed, so Bissell picked him up, taking him to Northampton, where he got out and moved out of sight
 Bissell said his passenger kept his hand in his pocket all along an l frequently looked back through the rear window of the car. There was a marked resemblance between the picture of Roland c. Lalone, one of the escaped convicts whose picture he saw in the papers, and the man he carried to Northampton, Bisscll said

SHOOT AND HOOVER
 AFTER SUGAR SCALE

Shoot to wcrk out a practical slid ing scale. His name must not re mentioned in connection with the following information which he has given.
 "Thcre are various basis that might be used in working out a sliding scale. The sliding scale idea lust transfers the argument over the tariff rate from what will be the tariff rate to what will be the base line for measuring the tariff on the sliding scale.
 The sliding scale would be price fixing if changes in duty were exact iy corresponding with the change in price; but if a change in duty does not correspond to the change in price, 1t would not be price fixing, but merely tendency to stabilize prices
 He personally believes that a sliding scale would be practicable, and that 1t represents scientific 1 Cffort to protect the consumer and at the same time the domestic in dustry. However, he says it must be administered by somebody who | knows the sugar business. l "Tho Garner plan will not work. 1 Tho first thing to do in attcmptir E l to work out q sliding scale is to get an honest price on sugar. It can be done, it is just a matter of ad- ministration by some one who knows the sugar business.

EDWARDS JOINING WET ORGANIZATION
Major General Says Prohibition
 Nations SaddeSt Mistake

Boston, Jan. (UP)-Major Gen. eral Clarence R. Edwards, wartime commander of the famous Yankee division, today pledged his support to a campaign instituted by New York group for major offensive against prohibition.
 The general announced his will ingness to cooperate during a con- ference here today with A. Fitz Roy Anderson of New York, temporary executive chairman of the Associ- ated Organizations, Inc, who had come here to enlist the support of all of Boston's prohibition forces.
 Anderson disclosed that the pro- gram calls for unified protest throughout the country against the dry law, with virtually all wet or ganizations joining in the drive. He said Associated Organizations, Inc, favored repeal of the 18th amend ment and substitution of a system of government supervision.
 Plans "Libcrty ParadeS'
 According to Anderson the cru- sade would be launched with lib erty parades" to be held simultane- ously in all the larger cities of the United States. He hopes to have 8 total of 3O,O00,000 persons march in these demonstrations.
 'Inasmuch as Boston is the cradle of liberty, we would like to start the movement here where there will be a historical background" said Anderson.
 General Edwards, Anderson and Conrad w. Croker, general counsel for the Liberal Civic League, con- ferred for several hours and decided tentatively to hold a luncheon here January , for the purpose of dis cussing the movement.
 Prohibition is the saddest mis- take the country has ever made, General Edwards said. Tt is an abridgment of personal liberty and is cancerous in its effect on the youth of our land"
 Comments on Coast Guards
 The general asserted that it was a pity that the coast guard whose original mission was to save lives was now obliged Ito balance a bar rel of rum against a human life"
 Edwards said it would take $G0O.- 1 000,000 to enforce prohibition and later declared he doubted that the law could be enforced even with such an expenditure. He hoped that the army and navy never would be assigned to it's enforcement.
