DIVORCE LAW PIT 10 TEST

IOWA AND NEBRASKA WRESTLE WITH IT
Uaeatloa la, C'a mroreed Pfn
from Jlebraaka Croaa I.Iae
ad a Once Remarry
la limit
Two canes ar now pending In the district
court of Douglas county Involving divorces
already granted which have gained re
newed Interest from the hearings In Coun
cil Bluffs of the suit of Robert A. Ball
against Mark Sweney,' both of Omaha, In
w,hleh Ball charges Bweney with having
"knowingly married the wife of another."
Both cases present exactly similar features
as to character of testimony on which the
divorce was granted and as to resulting, en
tanglements. The main legal question for consideration
by the towa court Is, "Can a person di
vorced In Nebraska come across the state
line and at once remarry?" If so, he Is
dodging the provision of the Nebraska
statute, which prohibits the marriage of a
divorced person until after the expiration
of six hionths from the date of the divorce.
Zenelta Ball secured a divorce from Rob
ert A. Ball In July last on charges reoog
nlsed by the statute, and on testimony
given, as Ball alleges, by Mark Sweney.
Abfint a month ago Ball filed a petition to
have the divorce case reopened, alleging
that ho had been deceived by his wife when
she brought the case to trial. He says she
Informed him she would drop her suit.
Ball's suit to reopen the case has not yet
been heard. He also has a suit for dam
ages pending against Sweney for alienation
of his wife's affections. It was after the
bringing of the first suit that Mrs. Ball
wejjt over to Council Bluffs with Sweney
and married him.
Other Caae ia Doaalaa.
The other case originating In this county
Is that of Edmund O. 1 chuchardt, a
tailor, against his wife, Emily, for re
opening of a divorce case in which she got
a decree, and for damages against his
nephew. The latter was the principal wit
ness for Mrs. Bchuchardt and the next day
after the divorce was granted In Omaha
by Judge Button the wife and the .nephew
went to Council Bluffs and were married.
Judge Sutton afterward set aside the de
cree of divorce on the ground of collusion
between tho plaintiff and her principal wit
ness. Bchuchdrdfs main contention, as is the
fact. In the Ball case, was that his wife
had led him to believe she would not press
her suit and had thus allayed his suspicions.
This rase and Schuchardt'a damage case
against the nephew who married his wife
are still to be settled.
Mrs. Bchuchardt found herself with two
husbands on her hands, one married years
ago In Nebraska and one married recently
In Iowa. In tho Ball case the divorce suit
baa not yet been reopened, and In that
phase It differs from the other. And tho
Bchuchardt case differs from the Ball case
only In tho fact that Bchuchardt did 'not
have his nephew arrested.
The Iowa justice of the peace who heard
the Ball-Bweney case has taken It under
advisement to enable, him to look into the
law. In this connection It may be stated
that the Nebraska supreme court has up
held the six months' inhibition against the
remarriage of divorced persons. In Ne
braska, at least. The exact point raised In
the case at Council "Bluffs has, It seems,
never been passed on by the higher courts
In Iowa.

New Tork Spectator;
The scandal In life insurance originated
In the Equitable Life, and charges of a
more aerlous chsrscter than extravagance
have been made against some of the for
mer officers. These charges are now before
the courts In one form or another, and It
IS unfair to pronounce upon them until the
proper rourts have decided them. But thfl
Equitable affairs are among the Issues of
the past. The company has Wen reor
ganized, the old officers have been removed
and a new management Is now In control.
The new officers are men of high standing
and national reputation and are pledged to
economical and reform methods. They
promise that there shall be no specula
tion with company fupds. and that here
after the sole business of the Equitable
will be providing life Insurance and pro
tecting to the fullest the Interests of Its
policyholders, fnder Its new auspices the
Equitable is certainly entitled to public
confidence. The slate has been wiped
clean; its past practices belong to the past;
the company has entered upon a new era,
and Its present management should be
Judged by the manner In whictr It fulfills
It promises.
