Mrs. Arnold Says She Sent Him Away to See if He Could “Make Man of Himself.”

In order to be legally free from a hus- band she describes as a ‘40-year-old, soft and silly baby,’’ Mrs. Annabel An- derson Arnold, attorney, college lecturer and president of the Arnold Private School, has filed a divorce suit against M. A. Arnold, a graduate of a medical school. At the home of her mother, Mrs. W. H. Anderson, 4828 Cook avenue, Mrs. Arnold told reporters, Saturday, that she had to support her husband from the time they were married, in Decem- ber, 1906, until last December, when she sent him to Bliss, Okla., to see if he could establish a medica] practice. Wanted Mental Inquiry. “He simply was silly,’”’ said Mrs. Ar- nold. “He coukin’t make a living. He couldn’t take care of hffMself. He ac- cepted money from me all the time and yet he was so extremely jealous that I once asked him to let me have his mind examined. He' wouldn't consent to the sanity test. “He nagged me and bothered me all the time. He used to come to my pri- vate school in the Benoist Building. If I happened to be busy, he would stand in the outer office and keep switching the electric lights off and on until I had to stop my work and go out. Then he would make some nonsensical request. She Sent Him Away. “At other times he would lean against the desks in the school and just stare as if he were bewildered and helpless. “He differed with me in ature and in views on nearly all important questions. I am fond of swimming, horseback rid- ing and other outdoor sports, and he cares for none of them. Because of his silliness and disagreeableness, I finally eent him away and told him to see if he couldn't brace up and make a man of himself.”’ Mrs. Arnold said she was lecturer on medical botany at the American was graduated there. Then she went to night law school, supporting her hus- band and herself by teaching in her private school and lecturing on medical Latin at St. Louls University’s school of medicine, she said. Mrs. Arnold is a member of the Busi- ness Women’s Equal Suffrage League and the National Women's Club. She was one of the organizers of the 8&t. Louis Women Lawyers’ Club, which was formed about six weeks ago. ‘SNOW IN DENVER IS THREE INCHES DEEP Colorado and Wyoming Both Storm-Swept and Tempera- ture Falls to 34.

GIRL FLIRT TARRED AND BANISHED BY EIGHT OHIO WIVES In Men’s Apparel Women Lure Her to Woods and Smear Body With Hot Fluid. WILL NOT BE PROSECUTED Village Authorities Declare Vic- tim Had Ignored Their Warn- ing to Leave Place. NORFOLK, O., Sept. 14.—Statements that Mr. and Mrs. Henry La Valley, parents of Minnie La Valley, 19 years old, who was tarred and feathered and driven out of Cartersfield, this county, will appeal to the courts to have the perpetrators punished, were rife today. Don Young, Prosecuting Attorney, said that unless complaint is. made nothing will be done. It was learned today that the tarring party, supposed to have consisted of eight women, wives of farmers, dressed as men, poured a bucket of tar on the La Valley girl. It is said here that the girl is in Cleveland. The town authorities, who say they -also warned the girl, declare that they |'will not prosecute the members of the tarring party. Dressed as men, the women had kept a pot of tar boiling in the woods for three days and nights, while they planned to get the girl to the spot. A clever ruse, in which three of the wom- en persuaded the girl to take a walk along a dark road in the direction of the wood proved successful. Arriving at the spot where the other members of the committee were in wait- ing, the girl was seized, bound and gagged, carried into the wood, forced to undress and then the hot tar was poured over her naked body. The women then allowed the girl to dress, and while she was writhing in pain, compelled her to go home, get sufficient wearing apparel and accom- panied by her sister, forced her to leave town. The hostility of the women had been growing for some time. The girl could not ignore it, because it was shown too plainly wherever she appeared. But she laughed at the women who “cut’’ her.

Flirted With Husbands. “You can’t drive me out of here,” she said. “Can't we?” was the reply. “Stay and you'll .see.” The girl, who is very pretty, is said to have been flirting with several mar- ried men in the village, and this start- ed the trouble. An appeal was made to the authorities, who, in turn, urged the girl to leave, but when she did not the women took the case into their own hands. Before it was certain the sisters had left the village, which has about 100 population, women stoned the house of their father. Public indignation became apparent first several weeks ago when women requested the town officials to take a year-old daughter from the family and place her in a charitable institu- tion. To prevent this separation of the ‘family the second oldest, later the vic- tim of tarring, left town, but returned a few days ago.

PANAMA CANAL TO UPEN NEXT FALL, IS NAVY ORDER Arrangements Begun for Inspec- tion of Zone by Men in Ser- vice With Fleets. WILL INCLUDE RAIL TRIP Engineers Think .Few Obstacles Will Be Encountered Hereafter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—The Pana- ma Canal is to be opened to traffic in the fall of 1913. This statement was made officially at the Navy Department today, with an announcement that the Atlantic fleet would be rendezvoused at Colon this winter before the water Is turned in. The estimate as to time of opening is based on the latest report from the army engineers. Secretary Meyer, after consulting with the Isthmian Canal Commission, dis- covered that construction work on the canal had progressed so far that un- less action was taken immediately there was a probability that the men of the fleet would have no opportunity to ex- amine the connecting link between the two oceans before it was in operation. The visit of the fleet will include rail- road trips for the men throughout the canal zone. While there has been much specula- tion and a number of prophesies con- cerning the early opening of the canal, the Navy Department was the first to announce the surprising fact officially. The date for the opening originally was set for January 1, 1915, and engineers fer some time had doubted if the en- sineering difficulties could be overcome to permit completion of the work by that date. The remaining work Is said to offer few obstacles. DEMOCRAT QUITS RACE IN FAVOR OF A WOMAN Believes Party. Can Higher Service Than Opposing Widow, Republican. WINFIELD, Kan., Sept.’ 14.—P. H.

In his published letter of withdrawal Guy said: *“T am convinced that a majority of the Democratic voters of _ Cowley County believe as I do, that there is a higher service for the party than that of attempting to defeat this woman for office.” Mrs. Tonkinson’s husband was elected Clerk of the Court four years ago, but died two weeks later. “TEX” O’REILLEY HELD AT MEXICAN BORDER EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 4—E. 8.

PROGRESSIVES 10 NAME CITY TIGKET EXGEPTING JUDGES Ben Westhus Suggested for Sher- iff-and Dr. O. D. Meyer Men- tioned for Coroner.

Candidates for all city offices, except Circuit Judges, will be nominated by the Progressive party city convention at the Majestic Theater, Euclid and Del- mar avenues, Saturday afternoon. The party leaders have not determined what course will be pursued with. re- spect to the judicial vacancies. Some of the leaders favor indorsing two Dem- ocrats and two Republican nominees, while others favor leaving the nomina- tions vacant, on the ground that the party was too recently organized for its members to make necessary investi- gations to recommend judicial candi- dates to the voters of the city. John Field, who ran for justice of the peace against George W. Relich- mann two years ago, will be tempo- rary chairman of the convention. It is probable that Arthur N. Sager,. who was permanent chairman of the State convention, will be selected for perma- nent chairman of the city. convention. In advance of the meeting of the con- vention but two names have been sug- gested for nominations. One was Ben Westhus for Sheriff, and the other was Dr. O. D. Meyer of the Twenty-fifth ward, for Coroner. Westhus formerly was internal revenue collector in St. Louis, and is a South Broadway mer- chant, conspicuously identified with the South Side business organizations. Some of the party leaders said they expected a bitter fight at the conven- tion between the leaders now in charge of the city headquarters and .the fac- tion which believes that more energetic, effective and systematic efforts should be made to organize the Progressive forces in 8t. Louis. BURGLARS GET TOWN MARSHAL’S BEST SUIT Benbow City Official Misses Clothing When Three Other’ Houses Are Visited. Burglars in Benbow City, the Standa:d Ofl town, seven miles south of Alton, visited four homes Friday night, tnclud- ing that of Jerome Ford, the Village Marshal. From Ford’s home an $18 suit of clothing was taken. At the residence of George Wisdom, a coal dealer, Mrs. Wilson's $6 watch was stolen from a hair rat, which she uses as a hiding piace for valuables. The burglars also got $8 in change. A screen was cut away at the home of Michael Bushen and a watch and a pair of trousers were stolen. Mrs, Frances Beers heard the. burglars cutting a screen at her home and frightened. them away by calling for her son. Ford was on duty until 3 a. m. and believes the burglary was committed before he got
