KIDNAPS BABY IN FFFORT TO MAKE UP WITH HIS WIFE Wife Follows James Andersori From Home Where He Got Child, Pair Row as He Seeks Place.

ASKING DIVORCE SHE IS Insists She Will Have 2-Year- Old Dorothy Back and Con- tinue Her Suit. In the effort to get his wife to dis- miss her divorce suit and return to him, James Anderson of 4413 Norfolk ave- nue went Tuesday morning to his broth- er’s home at 4203 Racecourse avenue, where Mrs. Anderson and her 2-year- old daughter, Dorothy, have been board- ing, and took the child away, to hold her as a hostage. The mother was at her place of em- ployment, a tobacco factory. Her broth- er-in-law, who with his wife has taken her part in her marital troubles, went *to the factory and told her of her hus- band’s action. She hastened to the Manchester Avenue Police Station and told the police her baby had been kid- naped. She was informed that no kidnaping or other offense against the law hai been committed, since her husband had the same right to the child, in the ab- sence of a court decree, that she had. Policeman Goes With Her ° She then asked that a policeman ac- company her on a visit to her husband, and this request was granted. Patrol- man Kingsbury, who was assigned to the task, was told that his only duty Was to protect Mrs. Anderson, and that he should not interfere in the contro- versy over the child, or attempt to award the infant to either husband or wife. The policeman, listened politely while ; the mother, at the Norfolk avenue house, demanded her child, and while’ the husband refused to give up the in-. fant, save on the condition that Mrs. Anderson return to him. The policeman listened while the con-~ versation went around in a circle, the husband insisting ‘‘You shall,’’ and the wife declaring “I won't.” Then, decid- ing that he was no longer needed, he excused himself. With Hat on Sits in House, A Post-Dispatch reporter who arrived as the policeman was departing, found Mrs. Anderson sitting in the house with her hat on and with no indication of any purpose to make herself at home. “No, indeed, I’m not going to be rec- onciled,” she said in reply to a question. “I’m here to get my baby and I intend to get her. My divorce suit will go right on.”’ The husband sat in a corner and re- fused to say anything. Baby Dorothy was not visible. 12 WOMEN DIE IN LONDON FACTORY FIRE They Try to Escape by Roof, but Flames Below Make Fire- men’s Aid Impossible.

Hope to Overcome Extremes. “This is not the first time the subject has been discussed by the St. Louis circles of the congress,’’ said Mrs. Nu- gent, “but at this meeting we hope to devise plans for overcoming these extremes in styles. “I favor the moderately short and moderately close-fitting skirt, because it is convenient, does not collect dirt as a longer garment would and is cleaned easily. “There is a class of people, however, who carry all such things too far, and we think it is time to act in a pre- ventive way against letting the situation become any worse. “I have noticed the Post-Dispatch’s articles and pictures on this subject, and I considered them splendid in call- ing attention to the extremes to which many women and girls are going in the matter of dress. Would Persuade Women. “I believe this subject should be taken up by women’s organizations of ali kinds. What our congress will do in a remedial way, I am not able to say at present. We hope that many feasi- ble plans will be suggested and that we can select from them some scheme of making all women realize the need of abolishing such uncomfortable, im- modest and indecent styles as the very tight skirts now so common. “For one thing, we may ask the min- isters of the city to discsus the subject from the pulpit. The Rev. M. H. Lich- liter of the Maple Avenue M. E. Church has already denounced the tight-fitting skirt and the enormous earrings, which he described as ‘chandeliers.’ ”’ Mra. Baumhoff Favors Campaign, Mrs. F. W. Baumhoff, president of the State Sunshine Society, told a Post- Dispatch reporter Tuesday she favored a campaign against tight skirts. “I hope something can be done to end the present styles,”’ she said. ““‘They are both immodest and ungraceful. A pretty form is highly desirable, but it is not exactly a matter for public dis- play. “Such dresses on young girls are im- modest and suggestive. On matrons and older women they are decidedly un- becoming because they accentuate the size, if nothing else.”’ Mrs. Dan W. Kneflier of 5273 Water- man avenue, president of the Women’s Trade Union League, declared the re- sponsibility in matters of dress should rest with mothers. She declared that if she had a datighter, she would for- bid her to wear. skirts of the type now prevalent. They are no® decent, she caid. It would be impossible, she said, to reach the really responsible’ persons, those who set the styles, but girls can be prevented from following them. Style models, she declared, are often copied thoughtlessly, and many of the young women do not stop to consider their propriety or impropriety. Mra. Pattison Defends It, Mrs. Everett W. Pattison of 4250 Olive street, prominent in the Art Section of the Wednesday Club and author of a book on art, defends the tight-fighting skirt as long as it is not carried to an extreme, and blames the laziness of woman for the ‘foolishness’ of present- day fashions. ‘Women must endure foolish styles lazy to fight

Kansas City Woman Shoots as Man, Sued for Divorce, Comes Up Stairs.

Spécial to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 23.—A 15- year quarrel between the father on one side and mother and daughter on the other, ended early today, when Ethel Gamble, 21 years old, a beautiful girl, shot and killed her father, Charles Gamble, a machinist, who had broken into the family home, 409 Wes: Fifty- eighth terrace. Mrs. Gamble, Miss Ethel and Mrs. R. C. Chisholm, a companion for the daugh- ter when the mother was absent at her sewing work, were asleep. The first ring of the doorbell awakened them. For two weeks, since Mrs. Gamble filed suit for divorce, they have lived in fear that Gamble would return and carry out a threat to kill them both. This fear caused Mrs. Gamble to en- gage the companion for Ethel. Thought He Was Burglar. Chisholm called to the man at the door. He refysed to answer. They heard him battering on a basement window and Miss Ethel picked up a re- volver and stepped into the hallway. The light had been switched on. The man downstairs turned it off. She could just see his hat as he came up the stairs. She says she thought he was a burglar. “Mamma, I am one to shoot,’’ she called. She fired and the man fell. Her mother ran to his side and found it was her husband. Miss Gamble, at a police station with her mother, talked quietly of the shoot- ing until her mother’s brother, S. U. Peet, principal of the high school at Emporia, Kan., arrived at 11 o'clock. Then, with her arms around her uncle’s neck, she wept. “I would not have shot had I known it was father,’”’ she sobbed. “I know he would have killed us, but I could not have done it.’’ She said she intended hitting the man from the shoulder. The shot which killed her father was from the first re- volver Miss Gamble ever fired. July 5 there was a family quarrel. Ethel locked herself. in her room to escape her father’s violence. He is al- leged to have threatened to kill her. Peet came from Emporia and July 8 the suit for divorce was filed. Gamble had declared he would return and kill the entire family if the suit were filed. So the wife alleges. When Peet returned home he left his revolver with the women for protection. It was the re- volver used by the girl. Tella of 15 Years’ Abuse. “Since the suit was filed we have lived in a fear of our lives,”” Mrs. Gam- ble said. “For 15 years he has abused me and Ethel took my part. Time and again he threatened to kill us. If she was kind to him he called her a ‘snake in the grass.’ If she scolded him for his abuse of me he would threaten to kill her and she would have to stay locked in her room.” Mrs. engaged nothing was said regarding family quarrels and she thought Mrs. Gamble was a widow. She declared, however, that Miss Gamble could not have acted otherwise last night. © HADLEY CALLS ON DIXON CHICAGO, July 2%.—Gov.

Ben Schlesinger, 47 years old,’ re- tained half of a $5 bill which two ‘‘strong-arm’’ robbers tried to take from him early Tuesday, but he lost his coat and vest and a pocketbook containing $4.60 in the struggle.

Twenty-four hours after filing a di- vorce suit in which he named his broth- er as corespondent Frank Fischer of 5323 Florissant avenue announced Tues- day afternoon that he would withdraw the suit. At the same time Fischer’s young bride, Bertha, was preparing to file a crossbill denying the charge made against her and charging a conspiracy to damage her reputation so that her husband might be rid of her and marry a former sweetheart. There was a striking climax in the strange tangle of family relatiagships when Frank Fischer and his brother, Edward, the coresponde®t, shook hands and said they would stand by each other Tuesday afternoon. “I’m going down to my lawyer, Judge Klene, and have that suit withdrawn, Ed,”’ said Frank. “Well, good luck, old man,” said Ed. “IT hope you will. We'd be in a fix if you didn’t.”’ She Calls on His Former Love. At the same time the young bride accused in the divorce petition was co- operating with Miss Ida Yager of 4206 Clay avenue in an effort to obtain ma- terial for her cross-bill, although, she says, Miss Yager formerly was Fischer's sweetheart. Frank Fischer and Bertha Wilhelm were married at the bride’s home in Jennings, St. Louis County, May 2, and separated May 22. Fischer in his. petition says the sep- aration came when he discovered that his bride was unduly friendly with his The bride says she left Fisther after ‘he had beaten her. “ As proof that she had done nething wrong, she says she spent a night at the home of Fischer's sister, next door to the Florissant avenue home, and re- turned to her mother in Jennings the Tollowing day.

He went away. When he returned he had been drinking. He flourished a revolver and said Bertha would have to marry him right away. I took the revolver away from him. The next day he and Bertha were married. “Frank and his brother, Ed, started a grocery store at 4260 John avenue, but failed. Two weeks later they went in the saloon business on Florissant ave- nue. Frenk and Bertha lived above the saloon and Ed roomed there. “Frank went to Louisville May 16. A few days later I received a letter from Miss Josephine Yager of 4206 Clay avenue, telling me that Frank had telegraphed to her sister, Ida, to meet him in Louisville and that Ida had departed. I tearned that Frank had been engaged to Ida Yager at the time he was engaged to my daughter. Ber- tha never did anything wrong. She left Frank because he mistreated her and failed to supoprt her.” Denies She Went to Louisville. A Post-Dispatch reporter saw Miss Ida Yager. She said she had known Frank Fischer a long time, but denfed that she went to meet him in Louis- ville. “I went to Louisville to visit a cou- sin,”” she said, “and I accidentally met Frank Fischer on the, street.’’ The young bride, accused in Fischer’s petition, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that she would use every means to clear her reputation. “After we were married,” she said. “Frank told me about another girl whom he said he loved, but I thought he was joking.

Miss Lizzie Verlin Will Continue “‘Treatment,’’ Hoping to Fur- ther Reduce Flesh.

For 32 days Miss Lizzie Verlin, years old, of 2604 State street, East St. Louis, has taken. no neurishment except un-ice@ hydrant water, she says, and has found it a splendid diet for reducing if flesh. When she gave up solid food June) Miss Verlin weighed 211 pounds. | Tuesday her weight was 192. She says Friday and believes that she- will then have reduced her weight to 188 pounds, a total reduction of 23 pounds in 3 days. "I felt badly all the time,” said Miss Verlin to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘and I was convinced that my illness was caused by excessive weight. “I had read about Dr. Irvin Eales of Belleville who regained his health by fasting and I went to see him. He told me that if I would take nothing but water I could quickly and safely reduce my weight. Terrible at First. ‘I came right home and started in on the water diet. It was terrible at first. For three days I thought I would die of hunger. When I saw foods ad- vertised on the billboarc. it nearly drove me wild. When I passed a.grocery or bakery I could scarcely resist the temp- tation to go in and get something to eat. - “After the third day WW scarcely bothered me at all. I would just take a glass of water when I. became hungry. On the fifth day and since then I have had no desire for food. I can go into the dining room where other members of the family are eating with- out having any desire to join them. Since the sixth day of my fast I have had absolutely no desire for food. “I do not drink the water at re¢e- viar intervals which would correspond to meal times. I just take it when- ever I feel hungry or thirsty. Drinks Les, Water. “I do not drink as much water now as I did when I started my fast.’’ Other members of the household say they have not seen Miss Verlin take solid food since July 21, and they ac- cept her statement that she has sub- sisted on water. Miss Verlin is a picture of health. Her cheeks are firm and rosy and her friends tell her that the. reduction in weight and apparently improved health have greatly surprised them. Second Best Record. Dr. Eales told a Post-Dispatch report- er that he has no .reason to doubt that Miss Verlin has fasted for 32 days. ‘‘Her usual consumption of water has been from three pints to two quarts a day,”’ he said. “In the fasting perio: she has visited me for consultation three times a week and each time she has ay- sured me that she took no solid food. ‘*‘Miss Verlin now has a fasting record which is the second best ever made bv a woman.
