WORLD LEAGUE OF DIVORCEES IS ORGANIZED Group to Uphold, Champion Cause of Wives Who Part With Husbands. By United Press PARIS, March 27.—The International League of Divorcees, an organization of women who avow they will uphold and champion the cause of divorced wives throughout the world, came into being today. Contrary to expectations, the inaugural congress did not develop into a series of tirades against tire male sex, the speakers explaining that the objects of the associations are not anti-masculine. They wish solely to come to the support of divorced women who .consider they have a grievance. The league also announces it will pursue campaigns in various countries for revision of laws partial to one sex. For the moment, the league will be occupied mainly with activities in France, where women are still deprived of privileges which in the United States and England are accepted as rights. A kind of “magna charta” of divorced wives has been drawn up, with the following principal points: Divorce should be made more difficult for men than for women. There is more need for codification of international divorce laws than for codification of commercial or political laws. Speakers at the first session pointed out that a husband can divorce his wife in some countries without the woman being aware of the action. The league holds that there is a duty incumbent on all once-mar-ried women, whether divorced or widows, to secure greater respect for the marriage state.

By Times Special CROWN POINT, Ind., March 27. —Counsel for Leopold Milasich, Indiana Harbor grocer, did some explaining for his client in Lake criminal court here that resulted in the grocer escaping with a fairly light penalty—a fine of SIOO and a suspended six months sentence—for prohibition law violation.

However, few were sold, and Milasich, to salvage something from the debacle, used the fruit in making vinegar. But police who raided the grocery, said they found wine—twelve barrels of it.

a national political issue. Replying to a statement of Senator Wesley L. Jones (Rep., Wash.) in which it was indicated that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt was disqualified for the presidency by his alleged Tammany affiliation, Wheeler said: “Os course no decent person condones corruption in office anywhere, but back in 1923 and 1924 when politics was redolent of the Teapot Dome scandals, the Daugherty-Jess Smith-Tom Miller grafting and other iniquities of the Harding regime, it may be recalled that the high priests of Republicanism discovered that the paramount issue of the impending presidential campaign was the chaos that might result through throwing the election into the house if Calvin Coolidge did not get a clear majority. “During all that time Senator Jones demained absolutely silent. At that time he did not betray the

slightest concern over corruption in government, but now he sees an overwhelming issue in the iniquities of a political organization which is confined to the borough of Manhattan.’’ CAVERNS TO HAVE ‘LIFT’ Elevator Will Be Used to Avoid 750Foot Climb to Surface.
