Bossie, Ruth r in France on “Tolerance” State Department Launches Probe of Reported “Wed ding” at Lawrence, Kansas. Spwltl Ill-patch to The Omaha Bee. Washington, Jan. 24. — Reported niarriage of Claude Bossie, former Omaha city clerk, to Ruth Wamsley, in Lawrence, Kan., December 22, was being investigated by the State de partment today. Bossie sailed this month on the Ma jestic with the Wamsley woman, leaving another wife In Omaha. The pair is now In France, although their passports were canceled upon arrival at Cherbourg. Expect Cabin Today. According to the State department, Bossie and the woman he Is said to have married December 22 are re maining in France merely under tol erance of the French government, and it is impossible to determine how long it will be before the French gov ernment deports them. The depart ment was expecting a cable at noon today. The cable Is expected to contain an answer to a query for more informa tion from Bossie as to his marriage to the Wamsley woman, and his al leged divorce from the Mrs. Bossie in Omaha. Suspects Divorce. The department Is Inclined to the opinion that a divorce may have been obtained from some Isolated Judge, but if so. the divorce will be con sidered a fraud by the State depart ment. Officials of the department were unable to state on what charge Bossie will be prosecuted until In vestigation now In progress Is com pleted, and declared that the matter will not be turned over to the De partment of Justice, which must de termine what to do with Bossie, until that time. Married in Kansas. According to word received here last night from Lawrence, Kan., It was found that In checking over the marriage licenses Issued there, a li cense was issued to Bossie and Emma M. Wamsley by L. H. Munger, pro bate Judge, on December 22, 1923, and that the couple was married by Mun ger. Bossie gave his age as 47. while Mrs. Bessie's age was given as 37. Bossie gave his residence as Denver and Mrs. Bossie gave Redlands, Cal., as her home. According to the pro bate judge, another couple accom panied the two and witnessed the ceremony. "I don’t know what to do—except go crazy," said Mrs. Bossie, whom Bossie deserted in Omaha. Omaha Is Butter Maker of Nation Cream Shipped Here From Fight States—Product Goes All Over Country. Omaha, a leading butter producing city of the world, contributes a large percentage of the spread for the bread eaten on Broadway in "Little Old New York.” The Omahan In restaurant or cafe in the big city by the sea will eat butter manufactured in his own city. And the same Is true of every city in the country, although New York City has taken a decided fancy to Omaha butter, according to reports of the creamery men here. E. F. Rector, president of the Fair mont Creamery company, which or ganization is celebrating Its 40th an niversary this week, stated thia morning that his company sells one tenth of all of the butter used In New York City. There are seven other creamery butter plants In Omaha, which also ship to the east. Facta and figures of Omaha's but ter induetry eerve to stimulate the imagination. Five years ago the an nual output was about 30,000,000 pounds. Chamber of Commerce eeti mated that the total production last year was 65,000,000 pounde, which was sold for approximately $23,000,000. Butter men say Omaha will hold Its lead as a produetlng center. The Nebraska Dairy Development society, whose slogan Is, “One million dairy cows by 1930,” will be an Important factor in the butter Industry of this city and state. There are now 600, 000 dairy cow* In Nebraska. “Butter and aalry product* arc me only things that have held up In price In proportion to the cost of what the farmer has to buy." Rector said. "Omaha U centered in the best agricultural district of tho world. Within a radius of BOO miles we have •he garden spot of the world. In Nebraska there nre 3,000 licensed ream buyers distributed In cities, owns and villages. These buyers of fer a dally caah market for the farm er who has cream to sell. The farmer can salt to any of these 3,000 licensed buyers or he can ship directly to any market. The New York Produce Review and American Creamery of January !• published a list of New York whole sale butter prices from 1111 to 1023. the figure for each year being the average for that year. There was a gradual upward trend from 27.96 rents In 1911 to 61.44 cents In 1920, when the peak w/ib crossed. In 1921 the averftge was 43.25, In 1922.it was 40.58, and last year. 46.79. Cream is shipped to Omaha from Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas. Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota ind from thousands of buyers In this state. Nebraska ships 75 per cent of all huttsr manufactured In the stats. Last year the Fairmont com pany produced 50,000,000 pounds of butter st Its plants In Omaha and other polnta It Is noted that the dairy Industry has developed faster In Nebraska than the population of the state has Increased. To stimulate dairy production and to distribute helpful Information, the Dairy Development society will en gage an expert In Us campaign to Increase the dairy cows of the state.

J SYNOPSIS. After seven years separation Stella Dalian In requested by her hunband’s at torney to get a divorce on the ground of desertion. When nhe refasen she in told the alternnntive will be an action In which nhe will he charged with Immoral conduct with Alfred Munn. an old admirer, from whom nhe received attention while her daughter. Laurel. 13. was visiting her father, Stephen Italian. In New York. She Indignantly denies wrongdoing and de clares she will fight. Stephen In desirous of freedom no that be muv marry Helen Morrison, a widow, but after threat by Stella, under advico of her attorney, to name Mm. Morrison an corespondent In a counteraction he tells the latter marriage is Impossible. Four yearn later, finding herself ostracised. Stella seeks an Inter view with Mrs. Morrison and offers to get a dlvorre if nhe will marry Stephen, take Laurel and give the girl good social standing.' The offer Is gladly accepted hut Laurel refuses to leave her mother after her father marries Mrs. Morrison. (Continued from Yesterday.) G. They mounted together to the lav ender-tinted room, which Helen hud told Stella last summer would he Lau rel 8. ("She'll be sleeping In that. 1 suppose," Stella had remarked, from the threshold of the room, as she had Based upon the bed. fresh and crisp with muslin valance and canopy. “I’ll be thinking her In that," and she had wiped her eyes.) Helen recalled the scene, the voice, the tears, as now she set about preparing with her own hands the waiting bed for that absent woman's child. Behind her. Laurel was standing, here, as downstairs. Impassive and indifferent, just where Helen had left her when she withdrew her arm that had guided her hither. “Come. We'll undress now." “Mother has married a man 1 hate." Laurel took up the interrupt ed motif again. "She's married a man she knew l hated. She has chosen him Instead of me. She has married Ed Munn. He’s awful. He's horrible. An animal Is clean beside him. And she likes him. My mother! She's fond of him. She's been waiting for years to marry him." “Oh. no. Laurel." “Yes. she ha*. I know. Read that. Read that “ She drew her mother's letter from tfee front of her dress and passed It to Helen. "Do >ou want mo to?" Laurel nodded. Helen sat down on the foot of the bed and opened the folded sheets. The letter had been written by Stella In pencil, carelessly, In haste apparent ly. It was read by Helen slowly, painstakingly, as If It had been writ ten In blood. She read It twice. Aft erwards ahe looked up at Laurel. Laurel gave a little shrug. “You 066.'* “Yes, I think I see,” said Helen slowly. "I thought It was Tor me she gave father the divorce, so I could come and be with you. And It made m# glad. It made me proud. But 1 was mistaken. It was for him. It was to marry him, that creature. He'e her kind, down underneath. She Is his kind. She chose him. Father’s right. The others are right. I'm the one who's been wrong about her all this time. Oh, Mrs. Morrison, she's killed my respect for her, and knew she would—we have been quar reling about that man for weeks— she knew she would! But elm didn't care. She didn't care." Thus pitl lessly Laurel sunk her aharp young teeth into the hand that hurt. Helen murmured, "Greater love hath no woman than this." Laurel didn’t hear her. 'Tin very unhappy, Mrs. Morrison,” she stated dully. Helen replied, "You are very tired. You need sleep. Does it fasten be hind?" Very tenderly, as If she were han dling a precious body from which life hnd departed, Helen unfastened Laurel's dress. She sllpis U It off her shoulders. It fell to tho floor. Bare armed, bare-shouldered, n shiver ran through Laurel—like a breeze rip pllng a docile sail. Helen put both arms about her sheltering!*’. "Oh, Mrs. Morrison! Mrs. Morrl son!" Laurel cried out at the touch, and suddenly the storm broke, the long withheld flood hurst, the bout tossed, the sail strained and pulled. But Helen's hand was firm and steady* on the tiller. She held Laurel close. "That's right. fry. You'll feel better. Cry. Cry." loiter In the morning, she would show Laurel tho rainbow. «. When Helen went downstairs half an hour later she found Stephen In thoehlg room waiting for her. lie hod been smoking ever since she left him—tho ash tray bore witness to thill—and wulklng up Hnd down tho room. The two Shernton arm chairs had been carelessly shoved out of their usual places to clear a straight path from the fireplace to tho window. As Helen entered the room she replaced one of the chairs, apparently unaware of Stephen's agl tatlon. "Well?" said Stephen at sight of her. Helen looked up at him and smiled. "She's asleep," she said, and start ed to replace the other chair. "Poor child, poor child!" Stephen broke out In a tone that was almost a groan, "it's torture to me to think my own child should have to tear the burden of my mistake. Immellately Helen crossed th# room to Stephen. He was standing by the fireplace staring down upon the unllghted logs. "Why, Stephen,'' she said gently, reassuringly, "she'll be better tn the morning. It’s hard to see her suffer. I know, but It's mostly from shock. In a day or two she'll see clearer." "See clearer!" Stephen exclaimed bitterly1. "Why, Helen, don't you know who the man is whom Stella has married?" he Inquired. "Yes, I know." “Well!" he shrugged. "Don't you see It Justified our suspicions? For Laurel's sake I hoped they might never be Justified. I didn't want the evidence which Morley Smith brought to my attention several years ago forced before me for consideration again. For Laurel's sake I’ve hoped there was that spark of controlling decency In her mother that wouldn't accept Intimate relations with a man like Munn, even though she could endure his society. That hope has gone. This act of hers has destroyed it." Helen gazed at Stephen and shook her head slowly, wonderlngly. ' You too?” she murmured. He didn’t hear her. (Continued In The Eienlng Ree.)

Wife Leaves Her Husband and Shocks Villagers Cousin Upset Because Young Couple Separate After Year and a Half of Marriage —Not Unusual. My MARTHA ALLEN. '.My cousin lias set a bombshell among the villagers here by calmly announcing that she has left her hus band,” writes Theresa from a western town In Neraska. "The worst part of it Is that she has only been married a year and a half. Now, Martha Allen, don't you think she could have tried to live with him Just a little longer? Our family is disgraced.” No, Theresa, if your cousin is going to leave she'll leave, but there Is some times a hope of reconciliation. It doesn't pay to put endurance on too long a test. There’s hound to he a breakdown of resistance. Crimes that few people would commit have taken place Just because of this snap In the general makeup. The fact that your cousin Is going to part from her husband after a short marriage Isn't half so appalling as some cases of separation. When an elderly couple with grown chlldlren must part on account of Inability to keep peace at home. It seems more tragic. The etruggia of years seen'j to fall In a heap. Perhaps your cousin's troubles are only Imagined. The first years of married left are usually trial years Mutual sympathy and understanding are brought to light, faults are learned and concessions made. When man or woman have made their choice of mate with careful consideration there Is no reason to part unless there is outside Influence. Separation should not be questioned or deplored when there are good sound reasons for It such as another woman or man In the race for attentions, or else, lack of support. Sound common sense will bury many hard feelings that are imagin ary. But let them settle the differ ences themselves. It Is of no use for you or any of the other villagers to Interfere. Your cousin and husband know the reasons for their trouble. If any, and they are the ones to handle the situation. B.
