DIVORCE SEQUEL TO POISON CASE Father of Detroit Girls Begins Court Action. DETROIT, March 17.—Roy E. Lulkart, whose two children, Shirley and EdnS, were given poison by their mother last September, and later saved by the skill of Dr. Carter of Chicago, has filed a petition asking a divorce. He also charges that his wife's foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Zorba, had threatened to kidnap the children. A request for an Injunction restraining them Is Included In his complaint. The petition was filed late yesterday. In his bill of complaint Lulkart says hia wife was much in the company of a Royal Oak man, who had promised to take her to Europe Just before she attempted to end the lives of her children. The man Is made a party to the court proceedings. CALLS OX ALLEGED AFFINITY TO APPEAR. The bill of complaints also calls upon the Royal Oak man named therein to appear in court and “answer as to his i-ondnct with Mrs. Lulkart in order that the court may be fully advised in tbs premises." After reciting the fact that he and Hazel Harrison were married at Herrick. F. D., In 1911. Lulkart says they lived in comparative happiness the first three years, although he makes the change that his wife was extremely jealous and caused him mental suffering. Suddenly, says the biU of complaint, these signs of jealousy disappeared, coincident with Mrs. I.uikart’s “Increased interest in the study of vocal music and composition which she was pursuing under the tutelage of a certain professor of music in Sioux Falls.” The I.uikarts had moved to that city. TAKES CP WITH NEW PHILOSOPHY. In November, 1916, says the husband, be and his wife came to Detroit. About this stage of their married life Mrs. Luikart became a devotee of the philosophy of “sex antagonism ’ and “harped” on the topic. She would claim, he says, that “women were the toys and playthings of men—that men never suffered and that she bad made all the sacrifices and he had made Furthermore, Luikart narrates, “she tlreadeil the time when her children should grew to womanhood and suffer as she had suffered.” The bill reviews the poisoning case and the way In which Shirley and Edna were saved in Chicago. Then follow allegations that a Royal Dak man and Mrs. Luikart "had been much in each other's company” while be himself was sick in a hospital. He says the man had male promises that he would take Mrs. Lulkart to Europe and support her in luxury. Luikart alleges that on the day of the poisoning Mrs. Lulkart and the man had an appointment which the man failed to keep.

36TH STATE IN BITTER FIGHT ONSUFFRAGE Delaware Will Decide Next Week Whether Nation’s Women Shall Vote. NARROW MARGIN SEEN By GEORGE B. WATERS, Staff Correspondent of the Newspaper Enterprise Association. WILMINGTON, Del., March 17.—The only thing that will cause the legis latnre of this state to ratify the woman suffrage amendment when it meets in special session March 22 will be insistent pressure. Thirty-four states have ratified. Washington will meet the same day and ratification there Is only a matter of recording the vote. This will lea*e In the hands of the Delaware legislators the question of deciding for the whole nation. I have just made a thorough canvass of the legislature anrl 1 can account for a majority of only one in the house and I would say that ratification lacks one vote in the senate. FIGHT WILL BE BITTER. The fight will be a bitter one. Antisnffraglsts under the leadership of Mrs. Henry P. Scott have opened headquarters here and at Dover, the capital. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. former president of the National Woman Suffrage association, disbanded, and Mrs. Lawrence Lewis and Mrs. Florence Bay ard Hilles of the national woman’s party, will have headquarters at Dover. Then there are local interests that may bold up ratification. Delaware has a school code, fathered by Gov. Townsend, strong suffragist, over which the state is divided. The Duponts run Delaware. Just now a family political feud is on. Alfred Dupont, reputed to have a majority of the legislature on his side, wants the school code repealed or changed. Coleman Dupont, close friend to the governor, is opposed to altering the school code. Opposition to the school code threatens to refuse to ratify woman suffrage until Gov. Townsend consents to school code legislation. THREAT OF SENATE HOLDUP. “I will vote against woman suffrage ratification until the governor signs a bill we will pass on the school question." declared Isaac D. Short, president pro tern of the senate. “If he vetoes our bill, the senate will adjourn without voting on ratification.” The vote seems to be 19 to 17 in the house for ratification and S to 9 In the senate against, but suffragists say It is possible to make the vote 12 to 5 in the senate and 25 to 10 in the house. Some of the antis are beginning t* waver and more pressure will turn thtrick, it is insisted by friends of ratification. Adman Takes Place . With TirejCompany Frank L.

PEACE TREATY ‘BIG THING NOW,’ BRYANS VIEW Urges Democratic Senators to Vote to Ratify, Despite Reservations. POINTS TO JEFFERSON By HUGH BAILIIE. United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, March 17.—The presidential campaign must be fought out on the big domestic issues of interest to all the people, but prohibition and the peace treaty should not be numbered among those issues, in the opinion of William Jennings Bryan, as indicated in au interview here today. “Both parties will put prohibition planks in their platforms and nominate candidates pledged to enforcement of the law,” he declared shortly after he arrived. “REMAIN TRUE TO DEMOCRACY." He asserted his appearance in Washington had nothing to do with the peace treaty situation in the senate, but added: “Asa democrat, I am interested in see ing my party-remain true to the principles of democracy and refuse to believe that any considerable number of democrats will Join the Irreconcilable opponents of the treaty to prevent ratification. Such a course is unthinkable and for tbu democrats to do such a thing would be an unspeakable disgrace forever afterward.’’ Bryan wared aside reference to prohibition and declared the treaty is the big thing now. “it must he ratified,” be insisted. “It must be ratified, no matter what sendors nmy think of the reservations that have been adopted, nearly all by more than a two-thirds vote. Jefferson said that acquiescence in the will of the people was the first principle of republics, and It is certainly the fundamental principle of any party that has a right to call itself democratic. I take it for granted, therefore, that the democrats who are in favor of ratification will accept the reservations adopted by so decided a majority and proceed with ratification. IMPORTANT TO WHOLE WORLD. “If the democratic party feels that the senate has made a mistake it can ask for a reversal at the polls and then proceed to secure iu the league of nations any change that the people want l our !*eve>n Hour—Gloo.brenaer’*.

Card Clubs Take Place of Saloons WASHINGTON, March 17.—Demands for playing cards at social clubs, which have sprung up in large numbers since the dry era began, are Increasing Uncle Sam’s revenue receipts and offers a partial offset to loss in liquor revenue. Cards for games of chance are being sold at the rate of 3,500,000 a month, an increase of 1,500,000, according to internal revenue bureau figures. made. But we can not afford to stand before the world as a nation fighting to make the world safe for democracy if we are not willing to trust democracy in our own country. “Asa citizen I am interested in seeing my nation discharge its duty to the world. Its advice now may be more valuable than Its army and navy a year from now. Asa citixen I am also interested in seeing the treaty out of the way in order that both parties may turn their attention to the great domestic probli ms that must be solved.” EASIER TO THINK OF FUTURE.

Farms WJ& Feeling against profiteering landlords is running rampant, according to a statement in a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune. Jersey City, as well as Chicago, has espoused the cause with a force of 1,000 tenants, who were notified of rent increases and went on a rent strike, backed by the Jersey City government, and managed by the director of revenue and finance. Mass meetings are being held and much newspaper publicity; is lending its force against rent profiteering. It is stated, also, that the February strike ended with satisfaction to 4,000 tenants, saving each from $5 to $lO per month—with loss to landlords of about $30,000 monthly revenue.
