Grounds for School Girl’i
Divorce, Court Holes.
New Haven, Conn., N'nv. 4 —A
school girl romance, Involving an
elopement, getting married by means
cf forged documents, ami a summer
flirtation has wound up here with the
Mill finding she is tied as permanent
ly ns may he to a young college stu
dent. while the student, through the
gill's admissions, face* trouble with
the authorities.
■'Though all the allegations of Ihe
complaint," says Judge James M
Peasley in the solemn language of
the law, "are true, they do not state
facts from which a divorce may be
obtained under the laws of Connecti
cut. The plulnllff by her own con
duct shows she married the man of
her choice.”
Irene Smilh, IT. and Klmer Field.
3ft, freed from Ihe restrictions of
high school for the summer, went to
the marriage license bureau in Jft22
to tie put on thp road to a wedding.
There was nothing doing without the
consent of the girls parents. So
Field, according to the girl, slmplv
drew up a formal certificate of per
mission and signed her mother n
name. That document won them the
license and they were wed. Field pur, ^
into his application new given names
for the girl and himself, and that
threw folks off the track for a ohil*.
Then Field went off to college In ’he
fall and the girl kept on with high
school.
"You are married." said the ecus
pie's friends. "Oh, no," thev both re.
plied. To prove the fact Field took
another girl to a Yale Harvard boat
race and proposed to her on the
Journey. So the real Mrs. Field de
clared In court.
■The offense is against the state,
not against the plaintiff," ruled the
judge in dismissing the action.

Sinn Fein Leader
Tells oi Fights
“Prince of Assassins” Admits
Own Party Opposed Ruth
less Struggle.
London. Nov. 4.—One of the most
amazing documents of recent times is
the book. "My Fight for Irish Free
dom.’’ by Dan Breen.
Dan Breen was a. Sinn Fein leader
in the warfare that preceded the
Irish P'ree State. In his own words
he was "a fighter for Irish freedom.’’
but;he admits that the British author
ities characterized hint as "the prince
of Assassins.’’
Breen’s own record of his life seems
to indicate that he killed rather
freely; yet his point of view is that
of absolute frankness and does not
smack of anything of a bloodthirsty
nature. He appears to have had no
selfish ends to serve, and no personal
hatred of his victims, only a deeply
instilled hatred of that for which
they stood. As he saw the issue, any
Irishman who could lay his hands
on a gun was justified In using it
against the forces of the British
crown in Ireland.
Threatened With Deportation.
This record of desperate adventures
disclosed that the campaign of death
carried on by some Sinn Fciners was
not entirely with the approval of the
real leaders of the party. Breen com
plains bitterly that, while he was
being hunted by the troops and po
lice, a plot was hatched by the mod
erate Sinn Feiners to deport him
and his followers to the United
States. The moderates felt that
Brain’s activities with the gun were
injuring their cause. A daredevil
rescue of one of his band after a
fight in a railway train, in which two
policemen were killed and four of
Breen's men wounded, was Breen's
answer to the moderates.
Breen's prestige was Increased
when the British resorted to tactics
similar to his own and began a ruth
less warfare in Ireland.
Despite orders from Sinn Fein
headquarters that he was not to en
ter Dublin, Breen went to 4he Irish
capital and proceeded to shoot down
political detectives employed by the
British crown. He discloses that the
extremists were determined not to
stop even at this.
Largest Lump of Coal Mined
Chicago- Florida
Road Open Nov. 15
IVrw Dixie Highway ^ ill
Sate Motorists 1.000 Miles;
Most Expensive Project.
Chicago, Nov. 4.—The Pixie high
wav. Route A, front Chicago to Flori
da, will he opened officially Novem
ber 15. according t" Charles O’Connor,
engineer in i barge of construction.
The highway cuts through Uie
Muson-Dlxnn line and enables motor
ists to save approximately 1,000 miles
of travel en route from Chicago to
Florida.
The construction of the Important
connecting stretches of road through
hitherto Impassable mountain regions
of the south is said to be the most
extensive piece of co-operative high
way construction and financing In
the history of American roads. The
funds fot* the construction In those
counties which could not finance the
road were raised by civic clubs In
Kentucky, Tennessee and North Caro
lina, by a gasoline tax agreed to by
owners of gasoline stations along the
route of the highway, and by contri
butions from various civic and motor
associations and individuals in the
cities of Chicago, Detroit and Day
ton,
Some of the south's most pictur
esque and historic points are reached
and passed through by the highway,
and Chicagoans and other northern
ers along the route may now tour
these places over improved roads that
have been hitherto impassable moun
tain paths. Such places as the fa
mous Blue Grass stock farms of Ken
tucky, spots made famous in. the revo
lutionary and civil wars, the Vander
bilt estates, where the handicraft In
woodwork and textiles has attracted
Interest all over the world, and other
features of the Cumberland and Blue
Ridge mountain country.
Scout Cruiser Tragedy Scene
Aimed at Leaders.
"Why," writes Breen, "we asked
outselves, should we not strike at the
very heads of the British government
in Ireland? . . . England could
carry on all right with a few police
men less; it would lie difficult to
carry on without a lord llputenant.
Such arguments as these led to the
attack upon Lord French in Phoenix
park in December, 1919. Breens
stirring account of this attack sug
gests a large-scale battle, but some
thirig went wrong, and there w,os no
assassination.
Breen's narrative is a remarkable
stufy in psychology. One infer^a that,
If the British hud hot adopted a
ruthless policy in answer to Breen's
activities, he would have been finally
restrained. However, Great Britain
idopted tactics which seemed to leave
Irish people with only the choice of
supporting one of two bands of ter
rorists, and they chose to support
their own countrymen.
The Irish situation is baffling to
most people. Breen's exciting story
merely makes it more baffling, f'
it seems to deny all ordinary logic
end psychology.

"Every Omahan kill a rat," was the
advice of Health Commissioner A. S
Pinto Tuesday morning, in discussing
possible invasion of this city of the

the Pacific coast.

cality by infected rats which may be
conveyed here in freight. The in
stinct of the infected rate is to mi
grate," declared the commissioner.
"The rat population is figured -«s
equal to the human population. There
fore, Omaha has approximately
210,000 rats. The only preventive
measure we can take against the in
ception of the disease here 1s to kill
as many rodents as possible.'

himself to further rat campaigns,
according to Dr. Pinto.
The plague is carried to humans
by the rat flea, according to Pinto.
It can be conveyed from one person
to another by coughing and expec
toration.
The pneumonic plague is similar to
the bubonic plague, except that it
affects the lungs Instead of the
glands. It is AS per rent fatal.
