MRS. ARTHUR AGEE
' SEEKSFREEDOM
Wife of Prominent Demo Poli
tician Makes Sensational
Charges in Suit for Sep
- arate Maintenance.
Arthur E. Agee, superintendent of
the court house and prominent in lo
cal democratic politics, was yesterday
sued for separate maintenance in dis
trict court by Anna M. Agee, who
alleges extreme cruelty, nonsupport
and infidelity.
Mrs. Agee, whose petition was filed
by Frank S. Howell, makes charges
of i sensational character against her
husband.
Mr. Agee has been superintendent
of the court house since last spring,
when the democrats came into con
trol of the county board. Prior to
that time he represented the state
insurance board in the affairs of the
National Fidelity and Casualty com
pany, which went into the hands of
a receiver.
He was an official of the Douglas
County Agricultural society and at
one time was a member of the Okla
homa state legislature.
The Agees were married at Papil
lion October 29, 1893. They have four
children, Mrs. Vivian Hansen and
Arthur, Vern and Bader Agee.
Mrs. Agee alleges her husband's
affections for her ceased five years
ago. She says he has neglected her
since that time.
His income, the wife alleges, is
from $3,000 to $6,000 a year, but she
says he has dissipated his money to
such an extent he has failed to pro
vide suitable support for his family.
She declares lie owns property
worth about $30,000, but has permit
ted it to become mortgaged and en
cumbered in large sums of money.
Family matters, she alleges, have
gone from bad to worse, until she is
afraid to live with him any longer.
Jjhe says she is afraid he will kill
her.
Mrs. Agee alleges he choked her
on December 26, 1913, and April 8,
1917, and threatened to kill her on
May 18 of this year, remarking so she
alleges, "he should have killed her
long ago." '
She says he refrained from further
assaulting her by the presence of one
of their daughters.
On June 13, Mrs. Agee alleges, her
husband again assaulted her and com
pelled her to flee from their home.
She says when she returned he locked
her out
"He contimiously showed his hat
red and contempt for me," she alleges.
She says he frequently told her to
"get a divorce on any grounds she
cared to allege, except that if she
should connect his name with any
woman he would fight , it 'tfl h
" freezes over.' "
Mrs. Agee alleges this remark wai
prompted by the fact "she had dis
covered he was clandestinely associ
ated with other women."
. She says she is withholding . the
name of one of the co-respondents
"out of regard for her family."
Mrs. Aaee asks the court to re
strain him from drawing any money
nut r banks, or disposing of any
of his property during the pendency
of the suit.
She asks $100 a month maintenance
money and possession of the home
at 5018 Burt street.

MORE ARGUMENTS
IN THE STRIKE CASE
t :
Chicago Attorney for Brick
layers Attacks the Suffi
ciency of the State's
Petition.
Hearing of a demurrer of Omaha
unions to the injunction obtained by
Attorney General Reed against them
and the Business Men's association
was resumed before Judge Leslie,
Judge Sears and Judge Redick, sit
ting in equity court, Monday morn
ing. .
C. N. Owens of Chicago, attorney
for the International Bricklayers' un
ion, who is assisting Anson Bigelow,
chief counsel for Omaha unions in
the legal fight, made the chief argu
ment. He attacked the sufficiency of the
facts in the petition filed by the state
when the injunction was granted by
Judge Leslie and denied tne unions
and the Business Men's association,
co-defendants, entered into a "con
spiracy in restraint of trade."
Not Specific Enough.
The Chicago lawyer declared the
allegations in the injunction petition
were too general and not specific
enough.
The state won a point Saturday
when the three judges ruled the at
torney general had the right to en
voke the Junkin act and bring the
injunction action.
If the judges hold the facts in the
injunction petition are sufficient for
a cause of action the case will then
be heard on its merits.

"Don't we look cool and happy on
a sizzling July 'day? We are the
committee in charge of the bridge
party for the benefit of yarn week in
the knitting division of the National
League for Woman's Service, to be
given at Carter Lake club Wednes
day afternoon.
"The reason that we are appearing
in this picture is that we wish to
show you just how cool and comfort
able you may be while contributing
your quarters to the work of the
knitters for the navy. Mrs. Otis M.
Smith, chairman of the committee,
and Mrs. S. P. Mason are going to
devote their entire time Wednesday
afternoon to showing those women a
good time who want to come to the
club to give their money for the
yarn fund, but who don't want to
play bridge.
"Tables will be set for the bridge
players in the cool halls of the club
building, but all who come may have
the privileges of the grounds. Boat
ing, bathing, bowling, the tennis
courts, the pavilion will be open to
all who pay their quarters. .

WOMEN'WILLSOON ,
DRIVETHE MOTORS
They May Soon Be Doing the
Motor Service at Fort
Crook and Fort
Omaha.
Women of the motor drivers' corps
of the National League for Woman
Service may soon be called into act
ive service, plying their machines be
tween Fort Omaha and Fort Crook
and the city.
Helen R. Basteno, national chair
man, has written Mrs, William Arch
ibald Smith, local chairman, urging
her to confer with neighboring mili
tary authorities with regard to pre
paring the women for federal service.
"I have always contended that the
work of the motor driving section,
headed by Mrs. Louis Clarke and
Mrs. E. E. Stanfield, was not merely
a free messenger service or to pre
pare the women for taxi driving,"
said, Mrs. Smith. "There is a real
service to the government to perform,
especially since the government has
not yet provided any motor service.
The United States will accept the
services of women motor drivers in
France, too, if they can qualify far
the work.
"Many women are here learning a
means of earning a livelihood in case
the men of their family are called to
war.
Motor driving, as well as motor me
chanics, will be taught in classes
which open in the falK now being Or
ganized by Mrs. Stanfield.'
Applicants for classes in wireless
telegraphy will be turned oyer to the
Western Union, with which institu
tion the national league is trying to
co-operate in this department of its
work. .
When the full quota of men is as
signed to the two neighboring forts,
the commissary department, hca.led
by Mrs. R. B. Howell, may bid for
government contracts to provide food
for the men. In other cities the gov
ernment has allowed 75 cents per
man per day. The women have fur
nished home cooking for thj price,
not regulation army food.

Reo Quality is Uniform
in all Reo Models
AND REO QUALITY at Reo Prices and backed
by the Reo guarantee, constitutes "The Gold
Standard of Values" each model in its class.
THERE ARE NOW SEVEN Reo Models, compris
ing Fours in Touring and Roadster types; Sixes
in Touring, Roadster and Sedan ; and the two Reo
Commercial Vehicles the -Ton " Speed
Wagon" and 2-Ton "Heavy Duty" Truck.
IN THIS ADVERTISEMENT we have space
only for a brief paragraph pertaining to each
Reo Model lest you forget the line is so com
plete that you can find the car you desire, in the
type you prefer, and in a Reo.
REO THE FIFTH "The Incomparable Four" is
America's most famous automobile. Standard
in practically its present form for now eight sea'
sons"going on nine". At its present price, $985,
this car is verily "A gold dollar for ninety cents".
Reo the Fifth
498S
TO REO THE FIFTH more than to any other, is
due the movement that is now so apparent the
return to the Four-cylinder type in all cars list
ing at less than $1,000.
THE FOUR ROADSTER is the handsomest
model of its type you'll see on the road at any
price. And, for , the present, you can get it for
$985 and freight from the factory.
OF THE SIX ROADSTER the same is true,
plus the extra luxury it affords the owner at the
extra cost $1385 f. o. b. Lansing.
THESE TWO ROADSTERS are of simUar design
and identical construction and are conceded to be
the handsomest cars of the type price aside.
Six-Cylinder Reo
& invsfwrvnnf)
FOR THE FAMILY that needs a car of greater
capacity than five and yet of moderate upkeep,
the Reo Six Touring Car also $1385 for the
present knows no equal.
NOMATTER WHAT YOU PAY you cannot
obtain a 7-passenger car of better design; one
that represents sounder engineering; more exper
ience; better materials and workmanship than
enter into the making of this Reo Six.'
THAT'S A BROAD CLAIM but we make it un
, hesitatingly and you know that the word of Reo
passes at par everywhere. ,
THE REO SIX SEDAN is the newest of all the Reo
models and therefore represents the best of Reo
experience and taste. ' , , .
REFINED AND IMPROVED at every point
, where last season's experience showed the need
or the opportunity. This body is staunch in
construction as well as graceful in curve and line.
AT ITS PRICE, $1,950, you will not find its
equal nor at a thousand dollars more, its super
ior. We state that in all confidence too.
Eeo 2-Ton Truck
Chassis
as Omfr's mf viiCth
!l800
OF THE REO TRUCKS what need we say here?
The -Ton "Hurry Up" Wagonat$l,125 (chassis
$1000); and the famous 2-Ton Reo "Heavy Duty"
Truck at $1800 each is the leader in its own
class demand greatly in excess of factory
- capacity.
BUT THAT IS TRUE of all Reo models, without
exception.
THAT'S WHY WE SAY "Reo Quality is Uniform
in all Reo Models," the uniform over-demand for
all Reo models justifies the statement.
ORDER NOW Af you'd " have your Reo soon.
Present? prices are guaranteed only till December
first. If you order now and specify delivery
before that time, you'll get your Reo at the
present price.
