Perfection and Contrast of Conjugal Love
Personified in Triangle Comedy
By JOHN KENNEBECK
Do husbands live up to a perfec
tion of love for their wives?
Does the conjugal love of hus
band for wife last?
Is the modern husband a Locliin
var, so faithful in love, so dauntless
in trouble? .
Here is a story of two types of
husbands, one staunchly standing
by his wife in her pain and alleged
rong-doing$, the other ably choos
fcif? his distance from his family
while the frail wife alone deliber
ates unceasingly upon a plea for her
defense of a criminal charge against
lier.
Mrs. Len V. Van Ausdell shot
Mrs. C. B. Ijanis, wife of a wealthy
eastern packing-house executive,
through the back, victoriously cry
ing: "You've stolen my husband.
"You've wrecked my home. Now 1
hope you die."
Husband Deserts Her.
The husband replies to his plead
ing wife: "Stick by you after what
you've done? Never."
Mrs. C. B. Ijams lies in the hos
pital at the point of death. Her
Juisband, the other type of man, is
constantly at her bedside in a spirit
of prayer for her recovery. He has
tened from Detroit when he heard
his wife had been shot.
Conjugal love in both cases is at
stake. Ever watchful, ever loving,
ever cheerful, the husband of the
victim of an intended fatal shot is
t the bedside of his wife.
Unrepentant, without care' for his
family and faithless to his marriage
vows, the husband of the frail pris
oner takes a stand against his wife.
Lacking the indomitable courage
that might be afforded her by the
Jiusband in her plight, Mrs. Van
Ausdell must face the court alone
to feel the humanity of justice.
Husbands to Clash?
The verbal clash between the two
husbands must come. The peace
ful spirit of one is exemplified in
the words: "Why should I talk to
Van Ausdell about the case? I have
nothing to say to him. My whole
anxiety is for my wife." The de
fiant spirit of the other is exempli
fied in words to his wife: "I'll never
Stick by you." j
Defying the pleadings of his two
daughters, Monrieve and Gaynelle,
that he return to his family, Van
Ausdell makes a flat refusal. For
the rest of their lives, the mother
and two daughters must feel the
pangs of the deeds that caused a
broken home. They pleaded with
the father to return to the home, and
finally in the mother's present mis
fortune and anxiety, to make a stand
for her defense. Finding their plead
ings in vain, Monrieve Van Ausdell,
the elder of the two daughters,
wrote the following:
"In a case of this kind, I hardly
find how father can completely turn
down Gaynelle and me, after we
have tried so hard to do -what is
right to him always, never in any
way showing him any disrespect un
til this happened. His assertion that
mother was insanely jealous is not
true. In this statement he must
Van Ausdell Who Turns
from His Accused Wife
' 1
refer to the many times she has
begged him with tears in her eyes
to do what we thought to be right
in supporting the family, so that no
bad reflection could be cast upon
us girls through his actions of the
last two years.
NoTemperamental Fits.
"'Threatening his life repeatedly
and fits of violent temper' were
never a part of mother's disposition
since I have known her. Her pa
tience for standing this as long as
she did is more than most any one
could endure. 'The trivial incidents'
of which he speaks must be the
many times he has taken this woman
to different restaurants in the city
(two times, of which I can recall,
on money that I drew on my ac
count to provide our family with
food over Saturday and Sunday);
the number of times he has left her
residence at 5 and 6 o'clock Sunday
mornings, and the fact that she
called up the exemption board re
peatedly last fall in my mother's
name. -
"Father has made good money
since we have been in Omaha, but
we haven't spent any of it except
what he has paid for rent; and he
never would have done that much
for us had Sister Gaynelle been of
age. When the court decided, at
the time of his arrest for nonsup
port, upon the amount of support
we were to receive from father, he
went to work as a common laborer
so he wouldn't have to pay to us
that paltry sum of $60 a month.
Borrowed Money From Daughter.
"Two years ago, he borrowed $50
from me. He told me he was going
to use it for expense money. I have
never received a cent of it yet, and
he laughs in my fac; when I ask for
it.
"Yes, father stood it until four
weeks ago, and then left the liouse
because I told him I could not af
ford to see a man of his character
going to and from our home.
"We don't want father to take our
side in this affair now, because he
never helped us in any way before.
(Signed)
MONRIEVE VAN AUSDELL.
So with the mother, Mrs. Van
Ausdell, wan and marked with
worry, receiving the tender affec
tion and encouragement of her two
daughters, the husband retains his
stand against her, while the wound
ed Mrs. Ijams lies in the hospital in
full faith and confidence in the love
of her husband, constantly at her
bedside.
The imperfection and perfection of
conjugal love arc personified in the
two types.

NEW 15-STORY
SKYSCRAPER
Old Telephone Building in the
Heart of City is on Market
for Half Million
Dollars.,
With the exception of the Tyler
and Douglas exchange equipment,
the Nebraska Telephone company
has completed removal into its new
15-story -building at the northwest
corner of Nineteenth and Douglas
streets.
The west portion of the building
formerly occupied by the telephone
company are now vacant. Several
months will be required, to vacate
the corner building at Eighteenth
and Douglas because of exchange
equipment there.
Appraised at $500,000.
However, these buildings have all
been placed on the market. They
have been appraised at $500,000.
The older buildings, while all
jnioed, are known as three build
ings. They have a total frontage of
198 feet on Douglas street. The east
one has 66 feet on Eighteenth
and the west one goes back 132 feet.
The buildings that are on the mar
ket, according to II. A. Tukey, in
charge of them, are in first class
condition. They are being vacated
merely because the telephone com
pany doesn't need them.
Portions of the old building that
contained toll boards are now being
vacated by means of installation of
new toll boards in the new building.
The new building, in addition to
housing offices that were in the com
pany's own buildings, is now taking
care of offices that were in rented
space in the Brandeis and Kennedy
buildings.
One feature of the 15-story build
ing that made officials anxious to
get into it, is the Philadelphia smoke
tower. This is separated from the
main building by two walls, entered
by a system of doors that is smoke
proot.

Real Estate Board to
Endorse Bond Issue
for Surfaced Roads
The proposed $3,000,000 bond issue
for hard surface roads in Doughis
county probably will be formally ap
proved by the Real Estate board
next Wednesday.
A report of the board's good
roads committee of which L. C.
Slides is chairman will ask that the
plan be endorsed but probably will
recommend that no road be built up
to the Platte river until the location
af a bridge between Douglas and
Sarpy counties has been determined
by the state engineer.
The Real Estate board has for
several years been working for a sys
tem of paved roads in Douglas
county but it has consistently op
posed make-shift projects or pro
posals that appeared to have been
gotten up for the benefit of special
interests of localities. The present
program calls for pavement of 101
miles of road in Douglas county.

Office in Bee Building Earlier
A new tenant for the Bee build
ing last week paid a 200 premium

of his offices a month earlier. This,

ager of the building, illustrates the
demand for office space in Omaha.
