Mrs. Stinson Saws
She Was in Daze
During Ceremony
Nurse Attended Wedding,
She Testifies in
AnnuIment Suit

Mrs. Lola Crounse Stinson, testi-
Tying IN District Court today at the
trial Of her suit for annulment of
her marriage to Joseph Whitlaw
Stinson, declared she remembered
practically nothing about her we'd
ding in Bar Harbor, Me-, September
~, 1887.
In support Of her charge that she
was drugged and deceived into the
marriage by Mr.. Stinson and a
trained nurse who chaperoned them
on Journeys, Mrs. Stinson told JUS
tice Oscar R. Luhring that she was
pretty dizzy" when the ceremony
was performed in a church.
Asked under cross-examination
by Carroll L. Beedy, attorney for
Mr.. Stinson, why the nurse, Miss
Jessica Shoemaker, did not attend
the wedding, Mrs. Stinson said:
"She did. I saw her eyes," The
comely and wealthy Washington
woman added:
when I came to I asked her
what had happened"
Questioned About Letter.
Mrs. Stinson admitted she wrote
letter which Mr.. Beedy presented.
1t was addressed to Mr.. Stinson be-
fore their marriage and started of
Hello, Joe-Joe, you precious boy"
Mrs. Stinson said she must have
written it while she was in a Balti-
more hospital You said on direct
examination that you liked Mr.. Stin-
son." the attorney recalled.
Il said I liked him very much"
Mrs. Stinson replied.
Doesn't that sound more like
love?" the lawyer asked.
Mrs. stinson replied perhaps it
did.
Another letter introduced in evil
dence referred to Mr.. Stinson as 80
real"
How did know he wasn't real?"
Mrs. Stinson retorted. II thought
he was"
Tells of Trust Fund.
Mrs. Stinson also said she gave
Mr.. Stinson 81 200 to pay some of his
debts. She contends that later he
persuaded her to set up a trust fund
Of $230,000 for him.
When Mr.. Beedy asked whether
Mrs. Stinson. who published two
volumes of poetry under the name
OF Peter Crounce, was able to write
any verse during the summer of
1897 while she and Mr. Stinson were
at Chester, Nova Scotia, she said:
Not a line. My pen would slip
out of my hand"
Mrs. Stinson's first husband, Will
liam Livingston Grouse, a widely
known journalist, died several years
ago, leaving her an estate of $780,
600. Mr.. Stinson is an artist, attor-
ney and engineer and has occupied
important positions with both the
State and Justice Departments.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Stinson
charged that Mr.. Stinson struck her
several times while they were In
Nova Scotia shortly before their
marriage.
Testifies About Argument.
Mrs. Stinson told Justice Luhrine
that Mr.. Stinson struck her on one
occasion when she had an argument
with him over his visits to "a tea
room where there were scantily clad
women"
Mrs. Stinson, who charges that
Miss Shoemaker entered into an al
legged conspiracy with Mr.. Stinson
to persuade her to marry him for
her money, was asked:
Did you ever know Miss Shoe
maker to do anything disloyal to
you?"
Not until all this transpired."
Mrs. Stinson answered.
Asked what she meant by that.
Mrs. Stinson turned to Justice Luhr-
ing and said: You answer for me,

N.L.R.B WINS
In LIBEL SUIT

Cincinnati (ILNS). - The U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld
a Kentucky Federal Court decision in
favor of the National Labor Relations
Board dismissing the $4,000 strip
tease" libel suit filed by the Glover
Fork Coal Company of Harlan County.
The circuit court decision affirmed
that Of Judge H. Church Ford at
London, Kl., that the N. L.R. B. was
an administrative agency of the gov
ernment and as such could not be
sued without government consent.
The company based the suit upon
charges of unfair labor practices
which the board preferred against the
company in July, 1887.
The board had accused the company
of hiring women to do "strip-tease"
dances and otherwise engage in
gratuitous licentious conduct" for en-
ployes of the company in order to keep
them from attending meetings of the
United Mine Workers.

Wage Established By Worker
Used AS Base For Benefits---

Workers Who Feel Employer Has Not Certified Their
of fReview-Employer Request Refused by Bureau

a higher full-time wage than that GER
titled by the employer, and the pay
ment of benefits was ordered based
on the workers record of earnings.
The administrator pointed out that
this method of comparative computa-
tion was necessary and particularly
effective in determining proper bene-
fits for workers in industries where
employers denied that full time
wage or work week had been or could
be established.
Unemployment benefits in those in
dustries are based by this method on
an earning rate which established a
ceiling" during the required period,
and the request of the employer that
benefit payments be computed on the
average wage was not allowed by the
bureau.
By recognition of the established
full-time wage of a claimant for un-
employment compensation and use OF
comparative computations in other
cases, Administrator Atkinson ex-
pressed the opinion that the B. U. c..
was complying with the intent and
language of the benefit section of the
Ohio unemployment compensation law.
Workers who feel that their en-
ployer has not certified their proper
wage of earnings, or that the B. U. C.
has failed to compute their benefits
properly, have the right to appeal
their claim to the Board of Review.

Columbus, Ohio. A study COM
pleted last week by the state depart
ment of public welfare of old-age as
sistance programs throughout the
country indicated that Ohio will rank
among the top three states in provid-
ing for it's needy aged during 1889.
On the basis of the study which
covered old-age assistance operations
for the first nine months of the year
in 48 states, the District of Columbia,
and the Territories of Alaska and Ha-
waii, Ohio ranked among the leaders
in practically all phases in taking
care of it's aged.
From January through September,
Ohio paid it's recipients grants to-
falling $23, 3,407, 800, an amount which
was surpassed only by two other
states California and New York.
During the nine-month period, total
payments in the eight most populous
states in the country included:
California, $38,149,416; New York,
$23,974, ,248; Ohio, $23, ,407 $50; Illinois,
$22,455,357; Massachusetts, $19,966,-
667; Pennsylvania, 15,232, ,708; Texas,
$14,739,193; Michigan, $11, ,664,3 1863.
For the entire year of 1889, Ohio's
total payments are expected to sur
pass those of New York since the
study showed that during June, July,
August, and September total pay
ments in Ohio were above those in
New York with the case-load and pay
ments increasing here in the state
while New York in those four months
showed little increase in case-load or
total payments to recipients.
Pennsylvania, with more popula-
tion, Jagged far behind Ohio in the
nine-month period in payments to
aged persons.
In the number of persons aided,
only Illinois and California surpassed
Ohio during the first nine months of
the year. The aid for the aged rolls
at the end of September in the eight
most populous states in the country
showed the following number of per-
sons being aided:
| Illinois, 135, 5,721; California, 134, ,668;
Ohio, 120,925; Texas, 120,520; New
York, 112,547; Massachusetts, 80,596;
Pennsylvania, 80,495; Michigan, S0,-
1873.
Since the first of the year, Ohio has
added a total of 9,742 new recipients
to it's rolls in the nine-month period
being topped in this respect only by
Illinois which added 10,259 to its list
from January through September
During the same period, Michigan in
creased it's rolls by 9,227 while Cali
fornia showed an increase of 1922
and Texas, 1927.
Since September, the last month fol
which comparative figures were avail
able, Ohio's aid for the aged rolls

vember was $10.22 and for partial
unemployment was $500, as compared
with the corresponding payments of
$1012 and $5.18 in October.
Coupled with the increase in initial
claims, total employment placements
for November numbered 14,231, an II
per cent decrease from October.
Placements in private industry de-
creased per cent from October.
Regular private placements those
lasting more than one month-de-
creased per cent. In addition, pub
lie placements reached low of 687,
or AZ per cent below October, 1899
Number of applications for work in
the files of the Employment Service
Division at the end of November was
the lowest for this year, and totaled
259,174. The number of new appli-
cants seeking work was %, 140-2 per
cent greater than October's figure.

Ohio Ranks Third In Assistance
10 Aged Pensioners; In Fourth
Position In Grants To Recipients
Study of OdAge Assistance Programs Throughout the
Country Completed Last Week-Administrativ Costs
of Division of Aid for Aged Lower Than in 1888

have shown further increases and at
the end of November the state was
providing for 125,525 recipients.
In the average grant paid per re-
cipient, Ohio ranked fourth among
the most populous states, being sur
passed in this phase by California,
Massachusetts, and New York.
The average grant per recipient in
the eight most populous states at the
end of September showed:
California, S32.46; Massachusetts,
$28.26; New York, $23.7S; Ohio,
$22.69; Pennsylvania, $21.34; Illinois,
$19.61; Michigan, $16.47; and Texas,
$14.23.
In the matter of burial expend-
itures for the year ending June 80,
1889, Ohio ranked first in the nation,
figures showing that the state paid
$668,137 in funeral expenses for bury
ing deceased recipients Michigan
ranked second in burial expenditures
with $315,709, while Illinois was third
with $2S7,976, and New York fourth
with $240,371.
Although no comparative figures
were available listing administrative
expenses in the various states, Ohio's
administrative cost in operating its
aid for the aged program was under
5 per cent during the first nine months
of this year.
Despite the fact that Ohio's pro-
gram during 1889 is providing for
more needy aged than at any time
in the states history, administrative
costs of the Ohio Division of Aid for
the Aged during the first nine months
of this year were $174,459 less than
for the corresponding period of 1888

Columbus, Ohio. - Unemployment
compensation benefits are paid on the
full-time wage reported for worker
by his employer if the record of earn
ings of that employe substantiate
that amount in any reasonable degree,
H. C. Atkinson, administrator of the
Ohio Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation, stated in an interview last
week.
However, if the reported full-time
wage of an applicant for unemploy-
ment benefits does not appear in avail
able records of his earnings, then
benefit payments are based on the
weekly earning which appears most
frequently in the workers wage rec
ord.
BY the application of this method
of determining benefits in cases
where the full-time weekly wage is
not established beyond a reasonable
and equitable doubt, Administrator
Atkinson expressed the opinion that
many injustices were avoided.
He cited cases where employers had
certified full-time wage, which, if
used as basis for paying benefits,
would have resulted in the claimants
receiving more in unemployment bene-
fits than actually earned in any week
in which they worked over long pc
riod of time.
Other cases were cited in which the
wage record of the claimant revealed

PEACE ORDERS ARE
MORE PREFERABLE
(From Forbes Magazine)

Peace orders are preferable to war
orders, even should the latter proffer
special profit margins. War is alb
normal. Peace is normal. No or
ganization can build permanent pros
perity on abnormal conditions The
prospect is that if, as is probable, the
European war drags along, belliger-
ents will want to place contracts here.
1t would be short-sighted policy for
any corporation or company or firm
to accept any overseas orders which
would interfere with it's ability to
take care of its steady domestic Gus
toners.
Assuming that hostilities are likely
to last from IL to 18 months or even
longer, and assuming also that the AL
lies will call upon the United States
freely for war and other supplies, the
thought must not be lost sight of that
the greater the war imitation, the more
severe will be the aftermath for all
concerns giving themselves over
largely to temporary foreign require
ments.
To keep in business, keep on the
right terms with regular, peace-time
buyers.

DURING NOVEMBER
Unemployment Compensation Fund

Columbus, O. (OLNS). Initial un-
employment benefit claims showed an
increase in November for the first
time since April, according to re-
port issued last week by H. c. Atkin-
son, administrator of the Ohio Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation. Job
placements dropped during the month
from September's peak.
Initial claims received in November
numbered 1928, an increase of 15
per cent over October. However,
reaching a new low for the year, the
number and amount of benefit pay
ments for November, based on earlier
claims, were the lowest yet recorded
since January, first month of benefit
payments. These payments totaled
$1,211,118 or LIS per cent less than
the amount paid in October.
For the fifth consecutive month,
benefit payments have declined from
the highest point reached in June
when $2,961 ,427 were paid to the eli
gible workers of Ohio for total OF
partial unemployment.
Cumulative total benefit payments
through November, 1889, amounted tc
$21, ,16S.577. Contributions and inter.
