FROM GERM AN Y American Wife of Unnatural ized Husband Gets Court Order Preventing Emi gration With Baby. A district court, order restraining William Muleka from taking his 8-months-old child and going back to Germany was issued yesterday by District Judge Sears, on petition of Mrs. Ruth Muleka. who filed suit for divorce. Mrs. Muleka is the daughter of George Green, well known South Side stockman. She married Muleka in Papillion, November 20. 1918. "Had European Ideas." She soon found, she says, that her husband held decided old country ideas of "woman's sphere." He ex pected her to pitch hay, plough, cul tivate, shock grain after the binder and other little jobs in the fields, while resting from her household duties. He was fond of quoting the words of Wilhelm Hohenzollern that "woman is fit only for the church and kitchen." She says he refused to take out citizenship papers and abused this country and its flag. "Wanted Boy to Be Soldier." He frequently remarked that he was going to take their baby son to Germany and "raise" him there to be a German s61dier. All this, she says, was extremely abhorrent to her, as she is a patriotic American and loves this country and its institutions. The court order prohibits him from disposing of property and from taking the child back to Germany or going back himself, pending decision on the suit for divorce. Fire on Coal Miners.. Bluefield, W.

McKelvie has de clined to permit the Tenants' Pro tective league to have a representa tive present when an accountant for the state examines the books of the Drake Realty Construction com pany. This refers to the contro versy which is pending between the tenants of Drake court and the Drake company. City Commissioner D. B. Butler, an officer of the league, wrote to the governor and the following is the governor's reply "In cases in which the state makes investigations of the records of pri vate concerns it feels obligated to hold inviolate all trade secrets that are not in violation, of the law. I understand in talking with Mr. Drake that his plan of organization gives him an advantage over other contractors in the conduct of his business, in the construction and maintenance of his buildings. If this is the case, he is entitled to have these facts protected from his competitors." Bonds for A. D. T.
