Poison Expert is Rushing Vest vard by Plane Doctor Flies from Omaha to Fresno, Calif., to Rescue 31 Thallium Poison Victims. Omaha One of the only two men in the world who have made an in tensive study of the poison thallium and its results sped out of Omaha on a westbound air mail plane Thursday evening for Fresno, Calif,, where he will endeavor to save the lives of thirty-one Mexicans suffering from thallium poison. He is Dr. J. C. Munch, Glenolden. Pa., a department of agriculture toxi cologist, who spent many months ex perimenting wih hallium after its discovery by a German scientist. "Our chief battle now is to save the reproductive glands of the vic tims," he said. "Thallium destroys the endocrine glands and particular ly the reproductive glands. It is more toxic than strychnine. It was used in California in place of strychnine because field rodents of that state became immune to strychnine." He said he would experiment with a combination of pilocarpine and hyposodium bisnlphate in an effort to save the thirty-one Mexicans from becoming nonproductive. The former medicine is a poison which South American Indians use on their poison arrows. The latter Is used by photographers in develop ing plates. "In my experiments" with thallium I found that it removed almost all of the hair from animals I worked with." Dr. Munch said. "The human victims no doubt will lose most of their hair, even their eyebrows, un less we can check spread of the poi son." RED GAS ORDER CHANGED Governor Bryan has modified his order which is to go into effect Feb. 15 and which originally prohibited the use of colored matter in gaso line except gasoline containing tetra ethyl lead, a poison, as an antiknock agent which might be colored red. Complaint was made that the order gave a monopoly upon the use of red for one particular kind of gas oline. The modified order permits any gasoline to be colored red which contains antikneok characteristics eQital to octane number 65 of the knock rating system adopted by the United States bureau of standards. The new order says: .. "Any gasoline not containing tera ethyl lead or showing art antiknock standard equal to octane No. 65 must be sold without , the addition of any foreign coloring matter.' -'i The :; order will fifreVeht the use of "rainbow' colors", common at present; The state department of agriculture has ordered a nonportable machine to be used at its quarters in the capi tol for testing gasoline under the new order.

The jcb of making the Chicago Cubs bar.eball champions cf the world William Wrigley's most cherished dream has been left to his son. Phil K. While there is no definite infor mation concerning the disposal of Wrigley's vast fortune, his controll- Ping share in the Cubs is believed cer tain to pro to his son. Phil K.. him self a sports enthusiast, already hr.s become president of the Wrigley gum interests. Wrigley was buey just before Li3 fatal illness planning ways and means of realizing his dream cf seeing the Cubs win a world championship, and thus wipe out the memories bitter ones to him of the club's failure to win in 191S and 1S29, after conquer ing the National league. From the time he became asso ciated with major league baseball in 1915, Wrigley wanted a cham pionship team, and nearly $6,000, 000 was poured into the club toward that purpose. Manager followed man ager Fred Mitchell, Jchnny Evers, Bill Killirer. Robbit Maranville, and George Gibscn. until Joe McCarthy was brought up from the Louisville club of the American association. McCarthy delivered to the extent of steering the Cubs to the National league champions-hip in 1929. This outfit won only cne game from the Philadelphia Athletics, and after the team finished in second place in 1930, Rogers Hornsby became Mc Carthy's successor. Wrigley personally had handled the deal which brought Ilornsby to the Cubs from the Boston Braves, and it was the most stupendous deal in baseball history. Arcund $250, 000 in money and players were turn ed over to Judge Emil Fuchs, own er of the Braves In return for Horns by's services. Not all of the money Wrigley spent produced results so satisfying to the man who was determined to have a world championship club. It is said that he dumped more than $400,000 into third basemen alone, in an attempt to find a star for that position. He died without having found one, unless young Stanley Hack, purchased last fall from the Sacramento club of the Pacific Coast league, delivers. HEAR WOW CASE ON MONDAY Washington, Jan. 28.

British Judge's Baling, Recognizing a Wife's Freedom to Follow Her Own Inclinations, Has Precedents Here. V ' v-v. nrP, ft J ! . . 7 ' 1 ; -2Sv V Justice. l f I ' ' 1 jJkX vlVfi Mud y&J KoseRothenbekg By a recent ruling of Justice McCardie, British bachelor judge, the woman has the right to leave her husband; to choose her owqi occupation, political party and religion, and 'decide whether and when to bear children. A. woman is m citizen, not a serf, according to the Judge, and as such has a right to decide her own future. The ruling was hailed in England as the ultimate step in the emancipation of woman, but in these United Statss it is "old tuff.' It was only last year that a New York court upheld the refusal of Mrs. Marion Kahn, a Brooklyn, N. Y., stenographer, to bear children. In refusing to grant the husband an annulment on the pica that his wife failed to' keep a pre-marriage promise that she would bear him a child, the Court decided that the matter of having children was solely the wife's affair. Supreme Court Justice Salratore Cotillo, of New York, does not agree with his British brother jurist. He thinks that a husband has a right to demand that his wife have children, in return for has supporting her. Judge Cotillo asserts that he usually gives an annul ment to a husband who can prove that his wife refused to bear chil dren. Miss Rose Rosenberg, assietant district attorney of New York, agrees with Judge Cotillo sli r as child-bearing is concerned, but support Justice McCardie in hit ontention that a woman or a man should have the privilege of see!. . Iiappiness elsewhere if they caluaot 6nd it with the i-.ate they married. New York The ruling of Justice McCardie, famous bachelor jurist of England, that "a woman's body is her own, she can leave her husband by her own will, chose her own oc cupation, political party and religion and can decide whether and when to bear children," is hailed in Britain as the ultimate in the emancipatory proces-s of woman. Giving her the right, one presumes, to select Hen ley's "Ijivictus" for a theme song. Justice McCardle's ruling was made in a case where a deserted hus band sued a doctor who, he charged. had alienated the affections of his wife. In dec iding against .the hus band, the jurist declared that a wom an is a citizen, not a serf, and that she is entitled to decide her own fu ture. In ether words, if a wife thinks she would be happier with another man, it is her privilege to throw liiend hubby into the discard. That may be new in England, hut in these United States It is rather ancient history. Here the law is ninety-nine per cent on the side of the woman in martial tangles. As far as ownership of the body is con cerned, it has long been recognized hr.-ie thr.t the. female of the species has exclusive rights in perpetuity to the male, not only body but soul. A woman may tire of a husband. go to Reno and divorce him, demand ing whatever alimony she thinks fit and heaven help poor hubby if he cannot pay. He need not look to the law for aid. There is only one place where he can find peace and that's where he goes to jail. As regards alienation of affections. It has been proved by the records that virtually all claims for stolen love are flled by women. The same is true of breach of promise suits. Eminent jurists have designated this type of case as legalized blackmail, but nothing can he done about it. Cases of men suing for breach of League Clears Way for a New Investigation Two Articles, X and XV, of Cove nant Are Invoked by Chi nese Envoy Geneva, Jan. 29. Impressed by' the extreme gravity of developments in the Far east, the League of Nations council today brushed aside Japan's technical objections and cleared the way for immediate organization of a neutral inquiry into the conflict at Shanghai. It was an unexpected manifesta tion of firmness, explained in part by the knowledge that the United States views J the y disturbance with profound concern and appears ready to co-operate energetically in restor ing peace in the Pacific. ... Dr. A. W.l Yen. for China, In voked Articles X end XV of the lea gue covenant when t'j; ccuncil met. Article X guarantee j the political indepeucicu've and territorial integ cJUSTICE CbTIILO promise or alienation of affections are aa rare as the eggs ot the dodo. As far as childbearing is concern ed, Justice CcCradie has said noth ing new. It was only last year that the law upheld Mrs. Marion Kahn, a Brooklyn, N. Y., stenographer, In her refusal to bear children. In en deavoring to secure an annulment, Alfred A. Kahn, the husband, said that prior to their marriage the wife had promised to bear children and as she had failed to make good he thought he was entitled to call oft his side of the bargain. The court decided in Mrs. Kohn's favor, ruling that the matter was entirely up to her whether or not she wanted chil dren. Supreme Court Justice Salratore A. Cotillo of Xew York does not quite agree with Justice McCardie. Jus tice Cotillo is of the opinion that when a wife walks out on her hus band he should have some recourse other than a visit to a speakeasy to fing the bottle cry of freedom. He thinks the marriage contract Implies that in return for supporting his wife a man is entitled to have a family if he wants one. The judge further declared that he usually grants an annulment to a man who proves that his wife refuses to have children. Justice Cotillo finds support in Rose Rosenberg, assistant District Attor ney of New York, who asserts that it is a wife's duty to have children and if she does not feel that way about It she has no right to marry. But regarding suits for aJlenation of affections. Miss Rosenberg is in agreement with the English jurist. The woman legal luminary believes that if either party to a marriage be lieves he or she can be happier with someone else, it Is their privilege to try it without exposing the new ob ject of their affections to an embar rassing court battle. rity of the signatories, and Article XV gives the council the right to act in circumstances such as these without the vote of the interested parties. Naoake Sato, for Japan, challeng ed the council's right to act, con tending that the situation at Shang hai is entirely different from that envisaged in the covenant. The chairman overruled him and asked the secretary to make all the necessary, arrangements for full in vestigation of the dispute between cmna and Japan. The ' secretary tomorrow0"1 rent h,s proposals Tonight it was believed the inves tigation proposed would be made at ?a.ugh!il. y a commission composed ot the diplomatic representatives of the United States and the other great powers now in China and Japan.
