FLU EPIDEMIC MOVING AWAY TO SOUTHWARD Disease Slowly Losing Grip on Indianapolis, State Reports Show. SWEEPS 32 COUNTIES With a total of 6,670 cases of Influenza and 202-denths reported to the state board of health by tblrty'-two Indiana counties daring the last eight days, Indications are that the epidemic Is slowly moving southward. Thus far the most serious outbreaks of the disease have been north of Indianapolis and In Indianapolis Itself. The disease now Is most prevalent in Wabash county, according to reports to the state board. In this county 1,396 cases end seventeen deaths have been reported. The death rate Is low, the number of deaths equalling only one in every eighty-two cases reported. Although only 875 cases have been reported to the state by Marlon county, the death rate Is the highest in the state, according to reports available. There were eighty-eight deaths, or more than one for each ten cases. St. Joseph county reports only thirty cases with twentyfive deaths, but this Is obviously due to a failure of health authorities to report all cases, for the death rate for no disease Is as high as this Indicates. Allen county, of which Ft. Wayne Is the county seat, is third In the list, with 688 cases and nineteen deaths. TABLE SHOWS NUMBER OF CASES AND DEATHS.

The board of health Is advising against the closing of the schools, declaring that there is apparently little benefit from such action. The board is insisting, however,- that teachers send h*me every child who shows any symptoms of Illness. Influenza In Indianapolis was on the decline yesterday, according to reports In the office of the city board of health. Only thirty new cases were reported, bringing the total to 1,265. Dr. Herman G.

SENT TO ACTIVE , WOMEN WORKERS.

letters went to women heads of ciubs, church societies and other organizations, signed by Margaret M. Scott, director of the teaching center. “With the great increase in the number of influenza and pneumonia patients end the impossibility of the majority of them obtaining either trained or practical nurses, it behooves the women of Indianapolis to prepare themselves to care for their own sick—whether relatives, friends or neighbors," she says in the letter. The flu instruction will be given by Miss June Gray, R. N., in one lesson of an hour's length. Miss Gray, who saw service in France jjrith the Lilly base hospital, is now on the teaching staff of the Red Cross center. , RAILROADS HIT BY FLU SPREAD WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—lnfluenza has wrought havoc in the ranks of railroad employes, seriously crippling the operating forces on some roads and necessitating curtailment in service on some lines, Director General Hines announced yesterday. Bad weather also is a contributing factor in delaying the movement of trains. Because of the tieup ot equipment and congestion at various points embargoes have been laid in some divisions, particularly the eastern against certain classes of freight. Along the lines east of the Ohio are great accumulations of freight which will be delayed in delivery. Asa conrequence of conditions passenger traffic has been considerably restricted. Cabaret Girls Strike in Tokio Geishas TOKIO, Feb. 9.—The municipal amusement tax which Japanese town councils have imposed as a means of helping them to meet rising costs was responsible for a strike of geishas in tho city of Sendai. The geishas, together with their "agents," the keepers of the geisha houses and the restaurant or teahouse proprietors, held ft mass meeting In the public park and passed resolutions denouncing the city fathers and pledging thmselves t;o go on strike until the tax was removed. AH the geisha houses and the restaurants which cater for the “geisha spree" trade, have since been closed, and the tax remains. v . Barbwire Fence Is Death Trap for Elk PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 9.—Winner In numerous battles with bull buffalo and males of its own kind, a big elk, king of Scotty Phillip's herd for more than a decade, recently fought its last battle, end a barbed wire fence was the victor in a struggle to the death. Evidently taking a dislll e to the heavy wire fence surrounding the Phillips’ ranch, the elk attempted to clear it, but failed and landed squarely on the sharp barbs of the topmost wire. After a terrific struggle, the animal tore itself loose, but died of Its wounds. \ BOOKSELLERS DISAPPEAR.

Scheldler of Second Evangelical church Friday received word MAN, 70, PLEADS AGAINST DIVORCE Asks Court to Deny His Wife Chance to Wed Another. • Pinkney Parker, the aged husband of Mrs. Breunettie C. Tarter, 57, who conducts a boarding house at 515 Kentucky avenue, Saturday appealed.to Judge T. J. Moll of superior court, room 5, not to grant a divorce to his wife. Parker wrote the court a letter In which he stated that he did not know that, his wife after thirty-three years of wedded life v was attempting to obtain a divorce until he read newspaper accounts of it. “I am 70 years old and I lived with mya wife for about thirty-three years and have raised eleven children," he wrote. "1 did not leave my home, but was run away from there by one of the police. I do not want her to have a divorce. I have a little home now about half paid for, and the door of my home is always open'for her.” Parker states that his home is at R. R. L-l, and that he does not want his wife to marry another man. Mrs. Parker thought that the court had granted her a divorce and applied for a license to marry Stanley Bates, 29, a boarder at her home. Mrs. PaTker Is 57, the marriage application shows. When the court heard of the attempt at remarriage and the decree bad not been signed, an entry was made granting Mrs. Parker a limited divorce for five years. During that time she can not live with Parker or remarry. Scrofula Rheumatism and Catarrh are constitutional dis- ( eases. They require a constitutional remedy.

BRITON FAVORS DRY LAW IN U S. Predicts Canada Soon Will Follow Example. • LONDON, Feb. 9.—Not all Englishmen who return from America are infuriated at what most of them believe to be the “Idiocy of prohibition.” But Dr. C. W. Saleeby, one of Britain’s foremost eugenlsts and sociologists, is the first one to get a column in any British newspaper purporting to show that prohibition has not been rammed down the throats of America by a trifling minority, and that vast good already has been accomplished by the latest constitutional amendment. Dr. Saleeby predicts that Canada soon will follow in the United States' footsteps and that It is high time for England to quit looking at the prohibition movement through colored glasses. HIGHLY PRAISES PROHIBITION LAW. “The prohibition law Is being broken in America," Dr, Saleeby admits, “and It will continue to be broken by the froth and dregs, by the criminal rich and the' criminal poor—like other laws in all countries. “The American prohibition measure Is an exceedingly strong and thorough one; the magnificent brains and devotion at the command of the Anti-Saloon league having been applied to it, and supported by the mass of the nation everywhere. “That, of course. Is what no one understands here, where the obvious lie is sedulously spread that, by some means undefined and Inconceivable, the most democratic, self-determining and highly educated people In the world have imposed on them . policy that they abominate by a chljaera called “pussyfoot." The Joke would be admirable If our own national destiny and our place In the world were not gravely prejudice*! by its success. Tt can not, however, succeed much longer. UENEFICLAL EFFECTS EXCEED .HOPES, “Throughout the United States, as in Ontario, the effects of war-time prohibition have exceeded the expectations of its advocates, and have strengthened public -opinion, already determined, for the Anal measure. That Is why the i. forcement act has been made so extraordinarily strong, and by such Immense majorities in congress. “The improvement in social records and vital statistics, the unexpected pros, perity of erstwhile breweries, now making Innocent and useful things, and sharing In the general prosperity which fol. lows from 'their own conversion, the increase In private bank accounts, tho unprecedented order and freedom from crime that attended the miners’ strike—the biggest In the history of the United States—such things have made assurance trebly sure.” Dr. Saleeby was In the United States during the saloons' last debauch In their “unrepentant last hours." Prepare for $375,000 City Sanitary Loan Preparations to negotiate a temporary loan of $375,000 to pay off bonds of the department of public sanitation due Feb. 15, are being made by Robert H. Bryson, city controller. The state board of tax commissioners approved the loan Friday. It was passed by the city council Monday night.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9,1920.

Oh, Mercy! What Our School Girls Say About That Silk Hose Edict Revolution today is brewing among the fair coeds of the Shortridge High school. Why shouldn’t the girls wear ’em as thin as they want to? Many of the girls' at filiortridge were openly indignant at an order of Mrs. Delia Thompson, dean of girls at Shortridge, prohibiting the girls from wearing diaphanous silk stockings.

The ban on thin stockings and low shoes was placed In effect by the dean as a health measure to protect the girls from grip and the Influenza. The trouble started Friday ' when several of the girls were sent home because of the diaphanousness of their silk hosiery and low pumps. THEN, TOO, MOTHER DOESN'T LIKE IT. A mother of one of the girls who was rent home for this reason expressed herself as highly Indignant at the action of the teachers. “It is disgraceful,” the mother said, after prohibiting the use of her name. “The whole Idea Is ridiculous as applied to my daughter as she was wearing wool stockings with low shoes.’’ A number of the girls attending Shortridge talked freely to a reporter today, but their mothers forebade the use of tbelr names. “It Is none of their business wb.it 1 wear,” said one pretty co-ed. “It is going too far when they prescribe just what I shall wear to school." With a stamp of Ibe foot, which could be heard over the phone, one young woman said: “It Is Idiotic and they have no authority to tell us what we shall or shall not wear.” “Foolish, crazy, unfair,” and other adjectives were applied to the silk stockARE INTERESTED. AND “THE BOYS” “Every place we go since the order went into effect there Is always some one, I mean the boys, looking to see If we girls are wearing the regulation hosiery. It Is emba erasing, ’’ said one young woman. Several students pointed out that a certain young woman of tho faculty wears “pure silk hose and lower shoes than any student.” "Yes t we told the dean about that, loo," said one girl. ’ George Buck, principal of the school, J said Saturday tho order was given to j protect the girl’s heglth during the In- j fluenza epidemic and was suggested by i Dean Thompson. "It Is the duty of the teachers to seethat their pupils are properly clothed," said Mr. Buck. Efforts to reach Dean Thompson by phone failed. WRAT’S IT COMTNO TOO? SHE ASKS.

“The next thing they will be telling us with whom we can have dates," snapped one pretty miss. No general orders have been Issued at Emmerich Manual Training High school and Technical High school, putting- a ban on the wearing of thin silk stockings, the principals of the two schools declared Saturday. “The only Instructions that have been given tho students of this school.” said E. H. Kemper MoComb, principal of Emmerich Manual Training High school, “regarding the wearing of any kind of clothing have been general warnings to keep dressed properly, keep the feet dry. I have not seen any great disposition on the part of our girls to take chances with catching cold by wearing thin stockings.” Milo H. Stuart, principal of Technical High school, also said that no orders have been issued that would forbid the girls Iroin wearing thin stockings. “We have not Issued any wholesale warning about such a practice, and It has only been discussed in individual cases, I believe, but we have not found It necessary to take any steps to safeguard the health of the students,” stated Mr, Stuart. GUNMAN SAVES ‘PAL’ FROM JAIL Fair play on the part of Harvey Blow- j ers Saturday In the criminal court saved Charlie Tierney from going to prison. Blowers admitted that he attempted to hold up the cashier at the National dairy lunch, on North Pennsylvania street, on JBn. 2 last. When Blowers attempted the holdup, i William J. Clary, a night ■watchman, who was in the kitchen, came to the rescue of the restaurant man. Clary was painfully but not seriously shot by Blowers. Blowers stated today that Tlernoy was his innocent companion and had no knowledge that Blowers was going to "pull a Job." The state then moved that Tierney be dismissed from further prosecution, which was .done. Judge James Collins sentenced Blowers from two to fourteen years at the state prison. Boy Killed by Train; Father Asks $5,000 Judgment of $5,000 was asked Saturday the circuit court by Alonso Kays against the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railway, the Indianapolis Union railway, Walker D. Hines, director gen, eral, and H. M. Franklin, a brakeman on the C.. C., C. & St. L. Kays alleges that his son, Ralph Kays, 13, was killed on Feb. 9, 1919, while riding on a box car. The father claims that his son, who had Jumped on to tho cars with other boys, was frightened by the brakeman, which caused him to release his hold and fall under the moving train.

ENGLISH OPPOSE UNION DECREE Resent Marriage Annulment Because of Barrenness. LONDON, Feb. 9.— The decree of a lan, Italy, court annulling a on the ground that liffwas childless has aroused a chorus of dlscusslOD here, mostly In disapproval. “It is a gross impertinence in Italv, where women are not represented In the legislature,” declared Miss Florence ‘Underwood, secretary of the Womau’a Freedom league. “The advocates of compulsory annulment for this reason will iind no adherents among British, women.’ “I consider,” said Mrs. Hudson Lyall of the London County council and the Marriage Defense council, “that the proposal to make childlessness a compulsory or voluntary basis for annulment •>f marriage Is not only thoroughly unchristian but n degradation of womanhood. To regard marriage as only a means of raising children Is a lowering of the whole Ideal of the greatest and best of human partnerships.” DECLARES CHURCH WILL NOT HEAR IT. “The Roman Catholic church will nevei ! tolerate such a decree," said George j Egerton (Mrs. Golding Bright) the j writer. “Marriage must be regarded as ; a sacrament or a mere civil contract. The Catholic dhurch regards It as a sacrament and never will ai’cvl It on the 1 ground of barrenness." “I say emphatically that childlessness ! Is not a suitable plea to put In the fore- j ground of an application for divorce,” j says Havlock Ellis, the eminent psyohol- j ogist and eugentst. “Many of the hap- j plest marriages are childless. Far from ! encouraging the birth df more children, | I think the birthrate Is far too high In j Europe. If It bad been lower In Ger- | many wo probably should not have had j the great war; and again, there would • not be so many people starving. NO GENERAL RULE GOVERNING FAMILIES. “It is Impossible to make a general | rule as to the limitation of families. The ] larger the number of children healthy 1 baye, the better the welfare of j the community. The problem Is how. to \ discourage the unsound from bringing children into the world. If It were generally recognized that it Is a disgraceful thing,for people who are not fit In health to pave children, It would act as a great social force.” Mrs. M. L. Koaton-Tiedman, secretary of the Divorce Law Reform union, takes a different view, saying “There are thousands of people who would welcome a law making childlessness a basis for divorce. Where childlessness leads to excessive unhappiness and separation, and which is continued, say for three years, an opportunity might well be given the parties to seek dl- ! voroe. We have letters showing there are many childless homes where children are desired. "The high cost of living appears to be increasing the proportion of childless mar- j riages. In several cases that h%ve been j brought to our attention there is a dlf- j fereuee of opinion between the husband j and wife oa the question of whether children can bo afforded. For these the ) law should give some avenue of escape.” ! Fails to Find Work, Colonel Kills Self % -eLONDON, Feb. 9.—“1 have no wish to take the step 1 hav etaken, but it Is possible to be heartbroken by repeated disappointments to get employment,” read j a letter from Col. Hugh Richard West- j macott, to the coroner of Bristol. “I have reached the limit of my en- j durance. The outlook for the future fills j me with despair," Tho letter was found on the colonel’s ! body after ha had shot himself through ; tho heart. This Census Taker Loses Money on Job STEUBENVILLE, 0., Feb. 9—A. K. McLane, census supervisor, lost money gathering names for Uncle Sam. He had considerable farm territory to cover and his figures show that, Including meals for himself and feed for the horse, he lost Just $1.63 a day.

PLAN TO FIGHT SIPE RELEASE State to Carry Court-martial Case te Supreme Court. The state of Indiana has decided to contest the ruling of Judge Louis Ewbank which prevented Richard Slpe, county dlerk, from serving a live-day sentence at hard labor at tho Indiana state farm on order of a court-martial. In behalf of Adjt. Gen. Harry B. ,Smith, the attorney general Saturday served notice upon Judge Ewbank that an appeal would be carried to the Indiana supreme court. Judge Ewbank fixed the bond at SIOO and as soon as the bond Is given the legal controversy will be carried to the higher court. Slpe was found guilty of failing to report for strike duty when the Indiana state militia was called to Gary, Ind. The alleged court-martial sentenced Slpe to five days’ hard labor at the penal farm, ordered him dishonorably discharged and deprived of al ! . pay. Slpe tied the state officers up by a writ of habeas corpus and prevented the officers from taking him away to do hard work for five days. Judge Ewbank held that the required legal oath was not administered to the judge advocate and the court-martial and that its finding was without any force or effect. ' The state has Indicated that it will contest the ruling of the circuit court to the limit.
