The title of the pamphlet is "I qua! Rights—How Not to Get Them H "Would women lie subject t < inscription in the same basis as men, if Congress should pass an amendment to the United States Constitution, granting women equal rights with men." the pamphlet asks. “Could wives legally claim support from their Husbands? “Would fathers be jointly liable with mothers for the support of illegitimate children ?“ Objections to the amendment as cited in the pamphlet are that it ■would cause discrimination against women in their right to labor, that it would have a bad affection protestive legislation for women, and that it would "result in legal choas" because of the difficulty in interpreting the meaning of the term “equal rights" with regard to all legal provisions concerning women.

E. E. Terry yesterday and advised him of the arrests- Names of the men held were not obtained by the sheriff. > Mr. Sluterbeck, his daughter, and Darius Albert, Paulding boy who was i forced to drive the bandits to Indianapolis and Terre Haute, will be taken to Terre Haute today by the sheriff in an effort to identify the men. "I am confident these are tiie men we want.” Terry said, after he had talked to the Indiana police chief. Terry was told that the four men arrested got SSOO in the Indiana postoffice robbery and that they are wanted in New York City for a post office robbery. When taken by the police they had a Cadillac sedan which had been stolen at Detroit. Stolen from Chicago The sedan used by the bandits here , Wednesday, and which is now being held in Gilleiu's garage at Paulding, was stolen from J. J. Guinn of Chicago on November 17, Terry has learned. License plates on it were stolen from a Nash coupe in Chicago but the four had forgotten to remove the driver’s license from the inside of the car. Should Identify Men There should be no difficulty in identifying the men if they are the same ones who committed the local robbery. Any one of the three persons to be taken to Terre Haute should recognize them The Sluterbeck family was robbed last Saturday morning between 7 and. 8 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Sluterbeck' and their daughter were in the house , which is located one piile south of Scott when four men came to the . back door and asked to see “the gentleman.” Pushing their way inside they represented themselves as officers looking for whiskey. When Mr. Sluterbeck denied they were Van Wert county officials, one of, the men drew a revolver from his pocket, pointed it at tiie aged man, and demanded his money. More than SIOO ami three revolvers were taken by the quartet after they had tied "up the Sluterbecks with two-inch adhesive tape. After the robbery, both Mr. and Mrs. Sluterbeck and his daughter declared they could identify any of the men. Darius Albert, young man held up by the bandits when he was on his way from his home in Paulding to. Haviland to get married, should also! be able to identify the men. Five j guns stopped Albert and the men made him drive them to iudkinapoli < and Terre Haute, then after ordering him to return to Paulding without stopping, followed him with a spot light focused on his machine for 40 miles out of Terra Hanse. ' Yesterday Mr. Sluterbeck again declared that he is ready to write a <heck for SSOO to any person who captures ami convicts the bandits. _ 0 FEW CHANGES IN OFFICES IN COURT HOUSE (Continued from Page One) elected judge of the Adams Circuit court last November, assumed office on November 13.
