Chicago Man Keeps Secret of Love for A .1 t r anotner len lears Chicago Tribane-Omaha Be Leased W ire. Chicago, April 9. For 10 years tiyatt Lemoine s love tor a woman not his wife was a secret locked in his heart until at last his craving ior tne otner woman undermined his health and wrecked his domestic happiness. Yesterday Josephine Jbouise Jemoine was granted a di vorce on the grounds of desertion. Mrs. Lemoine submitted a letter from her husband, explaining his long battle with his better emotions, parts-of which follow: "Dear Josie: The task I am about to perform will be painful to me, but I must be honest and candid with you. When1 I left last April, my sole object was to see a woman, the woman I have loved for 10 years. I have honestly tried to forget her and so has she me, but our love has stood the test of time, sacrifice and sorrow." The Lemoines were married in Gretna, la., April 30, 1908. They have no children. They separated June 18, 1917. Mrs. Lemoine says Norma Hancock of Dallas, Tex., is her husband's "soul mate." Chicago Utilities Board Starts Probe Of Telephone Service Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire. 'Chicago, April 9. Chicago aims to be first in all things, but, try as it will, other cities somehow get ahead. Take the phone service. Chicagoans firmly believe this city had the most abominable service in the United States, but statistics show it runs third, New York and Washington coming ahead of it. The public utilities commission is conducting an inquiry into condi tions here and much of the testi mony is spirited. W. A. Day of Frost & Co., who tried to use a tele phone from 25 to 50 times a day, told of his exasperating experiences, but admitted that the service here was better than that in New York and Washington. The evidence shows that tele phone meters, like gas and electric light meters, keep right on working regardless of whether any service is being rendered or not The tele phone company says it is short of a thousand operators and cannot supply the deficiency, although the highest wages are paid. It is also asking permission to increase its rates.
