14 A THE OMAHA - SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 9, 1917. LETTER WRITERS - SCOREDM COURT Judge Day Puts Over -Wight-man Case; Says Both Sides Have Written Letters to Him. ' : Judge Day, sitting in divorce court, this morning read the "riot act" fo lawyers and clients in the Wightman case at the beginning of what was to liave been, a hearing on a motion for l modification of a decree. The hearing never ' was held," for the judge, his judicial feathers ruffled, announced he would wait until Oc- . tober 1 to pass on that particular case. Grace S. Wightman; a woman phy sician, sued her husband, Dr. Hugh W. Wightman also a doctor, for di- . vorce August 3, 1916. The Wightman family formerly lived at 106 North - Twenty-fourth street. On February 24 of this year she was granted a decree ly Judge Day. Mrs. Dr. Wightman was given the custody of a child, Roberta Wightman, with the stipulation that, the husband should be allowed to visit his daugh ter at certain times.. v - Ask Decree Modified. A motion for a modification of the decree and two affidavits in support cf the paper were filed August 13. - Attorneys and the divorced couple appeared iin court expecting to "get action," on the motion. Instead they got a calling down from Judge Day, who declared that both Mrs. Dr. Wightman and -Mr.' Dr. Wightman had written him letters referring to the case. "Such actions are highly improper . and absolutely will not be permitted," said Judge Day. "Attorneys should advise their clients never to do such a thing.'- ; . , Objects to Letters. "In my sixteen years on the bench only two letters bearing on cases have ever been written to me as a judge. These ' were both within the last month. , -; "People must remember law suits are tried in court rooms on the evi dence submittedsnot by private com munications written to the judges. "I refuse to pass on this motion until I have read in court the letters wnttS.n!t0.,n bv th Wightmans. And I m ROine to set the hearinc nvr until October I to give you all plenty of time to think about it. That's all." Here is Most Unique Exemption Clctim Yet - Here's one vouched for by Ed ward Palmer, deputy in the office of the clerk of the county court. : According to Palmer, a husky weighing about 200 pounds came into county court Friday and asked for an exemption blank. "On what grounds do you ask ex emption?" interrogated Palmer. "I'm nervous and could not stand the strain of war;. I was kicked in the head by a pigeon," the husky is said by Palmer to have replied. . Palmer is reported to have said: "This way out rf ' Lincoln Man is Making ' Gasoline from Kerosene Walter Johnson of Lincoln is in Omaha manufacturing a machine which he claims will make a practi cal substitute for gasoline. The new liquid will be called electroline by the manufacturers. Two small experimental machines now in operation have made a suffi cient quantity to be used in automo biles. They say that at least one third more' mileage can be secured from a gallon than gasoline. More power can be secured with the new fluid. . A machine is now under construc tion which the inventor asserts will turn out 60,000 gallons per day at a cost of not to exceed one-half cent per gallon. It is planned to have this machine in operation in three months, when electroline will be placed on the market.. Electroline is manufactured electri cally from low-grade kerosene. Oxy gen is mixed with the low-grade oil at a high temperature. The new mix ture is similar to a combination of gasoline and wood alcohol and avoids many of the dangers of explosion found in gasoline. A corporation known as the Elec troline company has been organized and will place the new liquid on the market. The 'company is undecided as to the location of their factory, but expect to locate in Omaha. Mr. John son, the inventor of the process, is one of the largest stockholders in the company. Says Leeder is In Bad With the Omaha Lawyers Ed Leeder, justice of the pelce in Florence precinct, is "in bad" with the Barristers' club, according to Jesse Palmer, attorney. ; Palmer ays the Florence magis- tratn rnntinnattw "munim v..'- ----- w.vmjtya Ills JU1I9- diction. He has filed an injunction suit, against Leeder in district court in an attempt to prevent him from collecting a judgment in Omaha proper. Cedric E. Cramer is the plaintiff in the case. The attorney alleges Leeder has no authority to serve summons in Omaha proper.' declaring the justice of the 1eace has jurisdiction only in Doug as county outside the city limits. "If a person served -with one of Leeder' summons goes, to his court they've got hint, v says Palmer, "whereas, if the person knew that Leeder did not have jurisdiction in Omaha proper he would not have to showiup." . ': v...,: " The injunction case has been set tor hearing before Judge Day next Thursday, Negroes Get Six Months For "Toting Six-Shooters" Fletcher Claire and Howard John son, negroes, both 22 years old, were sentenced to six months in jail "each on charges of carrying concealed weapons by Judge Esteile, sitting in criminal court. They were accused of "toting six-shooters." The county attorney's office is In vestigating reports that the negrbes are draft slackers, according to Paul Steinwender, special investigator. Complai lint is Filed On Garbage Collections Health1 Commissioner ConneU re ceived a comolaint from his wife' rela tive to garbage collections from the Connell residence. Garbage Superintendent McDonald explains that unusual canning and preserving, by housewives has kept the garbage haulers moving at an un precedented pace. Lakeview Park Closes Its'' N Summer Season Tonight The climax to the season's fun at Lakeview park will come today when the management will Wer for the last time this season the opportunity to 9ance with Carl Lamp and his melodious mewers' of melody at the U)ig palace of dancing. The afternoon fsession will begin at 3 o'clock and the evening sess. on at 7:45. The season officially closes tonight. : Messrs. Munchhoff, managers, are quoted as saying that the 'season just closing has been the most extraor dinary in point of attendance. Al ready a number of local dance clubs, lodges, etc., have taken advantage of the after season and arrangements have been made to charter the park and its rides for th exclusive use of friends and members. Chicago Protests On Wheat Zone Division Word comes to the Omaha Grairt exchange that Chicago board of trade mehibers are not satisfieiith the limits of th grain zones, as fixed by Food Administrator Hoover, and that they have filed a protest and laterviU ssMpr a redistnctijjg.,pf the territory, 7 ; Members of the Chicago board of trade contend that the lone from which they are to receive grain is so arranged as to practically destroy Chicago as a wheat market. In, the Chicago zone is included Illinois and a portion of Iowa, an area, it is as serted, that does not produce enough wheat to keep the Illinois mills in op eration. ... Buck Privates Study French at University As a result of ah article in The Omaha Bee, Miss Selma .Anderson, registrar at the University of Omaha, is receiving many calls from the boys in khaki. It was announced that a course in' conversational French would be given to the soldiers expect ing to go to France as a patriotic ef fort on the part of the university. Over a score of Uncle Sam's prepar ing men have made arrangements to take the course. The captain of ma chine gun company now stationed at Twenty-fifth and Ifarnam streets has instructed all his men to attend. Probably several classes will have to be formed because of the many men who will be on hand. . Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success.
