    DIVORCE TRIAL
MAY BE LURID
Husband’s Cross Petition
Tells of City Bred Wife’s
Wrong Doings
ALLIANCE, NEB—(Special)—A
rttvorce suit that contains all the
colorful details of the most modern
screen romances is on file here with
a petition by Vera Gaddis and cross
petition by Prank Gaddis, who
charges cruelty and infidelity. He
also names Leo Berry as core
spondent.
The story goes back to the time
when Gaddis had Just returned
from Prance, where he fought in
the war. While in Chicago taking
treatments for an injured hand, a
romance began with the daughter
of a woman who ran a Chicago
woman’s apparel store.
They were married and came west
where’the city girl became a house
wife on a western. Nebraska ranch.
All went well for a time and then
her longing came for the buzz of
the >loop district. About that time
another man came on the scene.
Gaddis details alleged clandestine
relations between Berry and Mrs.
Gaddis, beginning in the summer
Of 1025. The husband claims that
his wife ridiculed him because he
did not “act like Berry.” In Janu
ary. 1927 Mrs. Gaddis was 111 In the
hospital and Berry is alleged to have
taken her flowers and delicacies,
his visits were so frequent and long
that some times the nurse had to
request him to leave so she could
attend to her patient, it is said.
Gaddis took her some sausage at
the hospital, he says and Mrs. Gad
dis upbraided him because his gift
of sausage was not as good as some
Berry sent her.

OVERRULED IN LYONS CASE

a well digging outfit at Lyons. Burt
county, and made an arrangement
with Sohl by which he was to man
age the business and get half the
profits, with a guarantee that he
would get at least $100 a month
The court says that this constitu
ted a partnership, and that the law
does not permit one partner to draw
compensation for injuries received
in the course of doing business. The
attorneys for Sohl contended that
it could not be a partnership where
half the profits were being giver
him for managing the business.

S' 5
Habitual Offenders
From the Kansas City Star.
Time after time, it has been
shown, the courts, the prisons, the
entire machinery of the law, must
deal with the same material. Much
of the work of the police is taken
up with known or habitual offend
ers; again and again the courts
and the prisons are called upon to
handle members of this class. Often
the first offender is related, direct
ly or remotely, to the socalled crim
inal element which continually de
mands attention. Were it not for
the repeaters the cost of law en
forcement would be materially re
duced and efforts of enforcement
agencies could be made much more
effective.
The condition gives special point
to the views of E. R. Cass, president
of the American Prison association,
at the organization’s annual meeting
here. Mr. Cass expressed doubt as
to the value, in permanent results,
of many of the present methods of
handling prisoners, the methods
that have to do with reforming the
offenders and turning them back
Into the social order.
In spite of the apparently excel
lent records of prisoners, according
to the standards of measurement
employed, the final outcome often is
failure. “The converted prisoner
sometimes backslides.” the youthful
offender, free from the reformatory,
often lands in a state prison; the
prisoner on probation may again
come before the court and receive
another sentence, while even “the
honor man (in prison) becomes in
outside life, in too many instances,
a man of dishonor.”
So it goes, leaving the enforce
ment mill to grind the same grist
over and over again. Mr. Cass favors
a thorough, disinterested study of
the whole question of prison meth
ods. That no doubt would help. It
probably would be found, as too of
ten has been shown to be the case,
that a fundamental difficulty is un
due consideration of the convicted
offender himself rather than his
probable future conduct, in the light
of his record, as a restored member
of society. For example, a prisoner
may be shrewd enough to make an
excellent showing with prison offi
cials for the purpose of gaining hta
release, yet remain essentially "un
refon*'ed” and at heart the criminal
he previously has been in fact. That
poesfbility has been demonstrated
repeatedly.
The obvious remedy seems to be
punishment of such nature and du
ration as will leave the person af
fected little chance of resuming his
career and serve at the same time
as a wholesale example to other po
tential offenders.
The S-4 Experiments
Credit, to the navy department,
it seems to us. is due for the ex
periments it is now making off
Block Island with the “S-4.” the
submarine which was lost olf
Princetown a year ago with fts
whole crew. Most of us will have a
vivid recollection of the harrowing
days that followed the sinking of
that boat, of the efforts to save the
men who were imprisoned in it, and
of the criticism that was directed
against the navy, not only for its
apparent helplessness of the mo
ment but for lts failure to have
provided submarines with any ap
paratus that would enable them to
be raised quickly in event of just
such a contingency. That criticism
must have been most unple&tfnt

Q Was all Capo dl Monte china

general public? M. C B
A. The Capo dt Monte factory
ito listen to, and It would have been
only natural for naval officers to
resent it. Some of them did resent
It, and some declared it was sense
less, pointing out that for every
device intended to increase the
saiety of a submarine in event of
accident there is a corresponding
increase of weight, and hence a cor
responding decrease of operating
efficiency and hence a greater
chance of accident. The wiser
policy, they declared, was to build
boats so manageable that they
would not have accidents.
Nevertheless, in spite of the bit
terness that marked the discussion,
there was a noticeable willingness
on the part of the department to
tackle the main point, which was
the development of feasible safety
devices for submarine crews. Only
a few months went by before there
came news of a “lung,’' or special
breathing appartus, by means of
which crews might escape from
sunken boats with some expectation
of getting to the surface alive. It
was tried out with marked success.
Now comes this series of experiments
with the ‘‘S-4,’‘ which has been
raised and especially fitted out for
the work. The first object is to as
certain the practicability of “pad
eyes,” by means of which, it is be
lieved, lifting chains can be attached
more quickly than by the old meth
od of running them under the hull.
The next object will be to ascertain
the practicability of the ‘lung"
under emergency conditions. No
doubt other things will be learned
which will be valuable to know. All
this is the result of a great deal of
thought, a great deal of work. and
a great deal of honest desire to
prevent a repetition of what we
witnessed last winter. Most of us
will not only hope for success in the
experiments but will applaud also
the spirit in which the navy depart
ment has gone about its task.

LINCOLN WOMAN POUND
TO BE ROBBER ACCOMPLICE
LINCOL N—While her email
daughter waited in a car nearby,
police say, Nellie Meyers, of Lin
coln, participated in a house *<- b
bcry Saturday night that resulted
in her aiTest and the recovery of
scores of stolen articles.
Though a male companion eluded
officers, the woman was captured
after a chase of several blocks in
which pursuers emptied their pis
tols in the air.
In the automobile, parked a block
away from the robbed home, police
found the womans child in the care
of Mrs. Jean Johnson. The latter
explained that Mrs. Meyers and the
missing man had asked her to wait
for them while they visited friends.
A woman’s footprints found
around numerous roebed homes, led
police to believe that Mrs. Meyers
was the man’s accomplice, they said.
The recovered articles, wearing ap
parel, jewelry, toilet accessories and
i even tabie lamps were found in her
rooms. They had been given her,
she said, by her companion.
COMPANY MUST
PAY THE CLAIM
Nebraska Supreme Court
Assesses Double Indem

LINCOLN. NEB.—(UP)—The su
preme court held Monday that
Jacob Ita, of Merrick county, died
from blood poisoning contracted in
an accidental injury and that the
Elkhorn Life and Accident company
was liable for the double indemni
ty clause in its insurance contract.
The policy specified that the
company would pay double—$6,000
—if the person died from the ef
fects of an accident but not if death
was caused by infection. The court
held that the company failed to
specify that it would not pay if in
fection was contracted in an acci
dental injury and then caused
death.
OMAHA BANKER SOON
GOES TO CHICAGO
Omaha—(UP)—Omaha bade fare
well to her most prominent citizen
Tuesday, when 500 of the city’s
business, religious, educational and
social leaders joined in a testimoni
al banquet to Walter W. Head.
Head, president of the Omaha
National bank since 1920, resigned
to become president of a large Chi
cago financial institution. He will
assume his new duties March 1.
Among prominent persons who
came here for the banquet were
James E. West, of New York, chief
executive of the Boy Scouts of
America; Fred Sargeant, president
of the Chicago and Northwestern
railway: Governor Arthur J. Wea
ver; Oscar Hansen, of Chicago, with
whom Head will be associated, and
R. E. Brown and Henry Krug, Jr.,
St. Joseph, Mo., bankers.
Since coming here from St. Jo
seph in 1917 Head had become
easily Omaha’s foremost citizen.
There was hardly any worthwhile
project in Omaha or Nebraska with
which he was not Identified. He
holds executive positions in more
enterprizes probably than any other
man in the history of the state.
He came here ns vice president of
Omaha National, being elected
president in 1920. Several years
later he was honored by being elect
ed president of the American Bank
ers’ association, a position he held
for one year.
WOMAN LAWYER HANDLES
TAX TITLE CONTROVERSY
LINCOLN—A woman lawyer, Miss
Helen McGerr. of Lincoln, made
her bow in supreme court where she
appeared to defend the right of Os
car and Albert Peterson, land own
ers of Rock county, to read their
titles clear. Eack in 1S22, Jabe Gib
sen bought three tax certificates
against this land, but did not seek
to foreclose until after five years
had passed. Miss McGerr main
tained that the law plainly says
that such action must be begun in
five years, while Gibson’s attorney
says that the law has been repeat
edly changed with the result that
there are now two conflicting sta
tutes, one giving a perpetual lien
for tax certificates and the other re
quiring foreclosure in five years. Ke
argued that a proper interpreta
tion of the laws would make eight
years the limit.
The case has attracted consider
able attention in investment cir
cles, and an Omaha lawyer was em
ployed to intervene as a friend of
the court. He argues that the
statutes, construed together, fix
seven years as the limit.

SCHOOL FIGHT
TO HIGH COURT
Director Says He Resigned
“to Save Bloodshed”—
Right to Place Resisted
LINCOLN. NEB.-^(UP)—De
scriptions of a school board meeting
in which threats of bodily injury
became so serious that one of the
members resigned to “save blood
shed” were told in supreme court
Monday by attorneys interested in
the case of Charles W. Purinton
against Frank Lief which originated
in York county.
The meeting was held June 11,
1928, in district 33 of York county.
Purinton is alleged to have refused
to re-employ a teacher who kept
company with a man to whom he
objected. Her parents and the
young man attended the annual
school board meeting.
Such a demonstration of physical
force was made, according to
Purinton. that he was forced to
hand in his resignation. The board
had appointed Frank Lief to serve
the remainder of the term but
Purinton re-claimed his position.
When taken into court, the dis
trict court decided in favor ot
Purinton and Lief has appealed.
ASK COURT TO
REMOVE STING
LINCOLN, NEB.— (UP) —Attor
neys for W. A. Fraser and other of
ficers of the Woodmen of the World
appeared in supreme court Monday,
to argue their motion to eliminate
those portions of the opinion in the
Globe Life company case that chal
lenge their motives and accused
them of fraudulent conduct in the
bringing about of the investment
of Woodmen funds in the life com
pany and in carrying out the pro
ject. They said that if this were al
lowed to go into the law books it
would forever besmirch their names
and that it would hold them up to
the ignominy of the members of the
order. They said that these find
ings were wrong, in the first place,
and unnecessary to be included in
the second place, after the court
had held that the sovereign camp,
by whose authority they had act
ed throughout, had no power to or
der the investment made.
Attorneys of the members who
complained objected to the deletion.
They insisted that it is no defense
for a person who does wrong to say
that he did so in obedience to or
ders from a superior. They said that
the question of fraud entered into
the case, was argued and considered
by the court for much of its opinion
is an analysis of evidence on that
point. They claim that the officers
really controlled and dictated the
action of the sovereign camp, and
that Fraser had defeated a motion
before the camp to have the Wood
men retain 51 per cent, of the Globe
stock. They charged that the mo
tion to delete was equivalent to ask
ing the court to help conceal from
the members the details of their
conduct and to exonerate them
from betrayal of their trust, as
found by the trial court.
