HARBOR ROMANCE IS ENDED IN CHICAGO

Almost as swift as the biplane with which he daily courts death was the romance and marriage of "Jimmy-' Ward, the aviator, says the Chicago Jnter-Ocean. His married life proved almost as brief, for yesterday, a little more than a year after they had first met, Mrs. Ward started divorce proceedings against her husband. They met. eloped ad were married all within a period of two days. Ward narrowly escaped crashing into the motordrome at Riverview park yesterday afternoon, and soared to a jrreat height, making dangerous spirals to the applause of the spectators. It was only after he landed' that he learned of the proceedings against him. Charging that at the time they married "Jimmy" had another wife from whom he was tiot divorced. Mrs. Maud Mae Ward filed action In' the Circuit court to have the marriage annulled, asking the restoration of her maiden name of Mauger and reasonable alimony. ( Wooed and Wedtlrd Fast. Maud Mauger. was 17 years old when she met "Jimmy" Ward, April 21i 1911, at the home of a young married couple in Chicago. He was so enthralled by the girl's dainty beauty that he Immediately declared his love of her. On the following day she consented, and accompanied by the couple at whose home they met they eloped to Nashville, Tenn., where they married the same day, April 22, 1911. Notwithstanding the girl's youth and the disparagement in their ages Ward Is now 32 years old it is said the girl's parents, in Indiana Harbor, offered no objections when Informed of the elopement. Since their marriage they have traveled about the continent, Jimmy performing at aviation meets in many cities. While flying in the international meet in Chicago last August Ward's

bride had her first 'rude awakening when Mrs. Margaret Warner War-J, then living at 4213 Ellis avenue, caused the aviator's arrest on a charge of wife abandonment. His bride stood with him, however, even after Mrs. Ward No. 1 obtained a divorce a few weeks later. She refused .to believe that the woman had even been Jimmy's legal wife. At that time Mrs. Ward No. 1 said

she married Ward in a detective office in IaSalle street May 29, 1909, and that he Immediately deserted her and she had not directly heard of him un- , til she saw his picture in the news- J papers during the air meet. She said j she had heard the rumor that Jimmy . had married another woman, but did.

not know as to its truth. Separated on Maj 21. Mrs. Ward No. 2, the bride of a year, was then with Jimmy at the hangar in Grant park and refused to talk and professed not to believe that the woman who had caused the aviator's arrest was In reality his wife. She continued to live with him until May 21 of this year, when she left him. AVard left Riverview yesterday afternoon Immediately after his thrilling escape from death and had not returned to the Wellington hotel last night. I,ast August at the time Mrs. Ward No. 1 caused his arrest he deni'ed that he

had ever had any relations whatsoever with the woman, but she later produced a marriage license in court. Criminal Proaeeutlon Probable. Attorney Barnhart said yesterdiy there was a grave question as to whether the Tennessee marriage was legal, even in that state, and that Ward undoubtedly had committed bigamy under Illinois laws. Although the girl's father is extremely bitter against Ward, the attorney said he did not think Mauger would cause criminal prosecution or go farther than to assist his daughter to have the questionable marriage annulled.

INTEREST IN COL. CARLISLE'S BOOM IS WIDESPREAD CConttnued from Pag-. L

was Intended It should do create sentiment In favor of the nomination of Loekwood. Lockwood would not accept the nomination, however, unless the republican state platform contained a declaration In favor of the re-enactment of the county local option law. He is a county optionist to the core, and has been fighting that battle for years. He proposes, according to his friends, to stand or fall on that issue, and he' is not willing to compromise on any basis, The platform must declare emphatically for county option If he is to be a candidate. They say he would be Inconsistent if he were to accept a nomination on any other platform. The question, of course, in this connection. Is whether the party wll ladopt such a plank In its platform. It may or it may not. If It does not the nominee for governor will be some other man. But the Indications are at this time that the county option plank will go in, for the temperance forces are organizing and lining up for a supreme effort to put It over. The anti-saloon league would not stand for Mayor. Lew Shank of this city as a candidate for governor not for a minute. The league regards Shank as a. poor enforcer of the law, and as entirely too wet for a governor. They believe he would run the state about as the city of Indianapolis is now run

in that regard. The attitude of the anti-saloon league Is pretty clearly indicated by the publication In the American Issue of an editorial taken from the Noblesvllle Ledger, a red hot county option paper. The editorial Is as follows: "Does Mayor Shank earn his salary as mayor of Indianapolis? Cltiiens of the metropolis are continually complaining about a lack of business administration. The streets are In a miserable condition, raloons and bawdy houses violate the laws, and the mayor Is indifferent to his duty. Instead of staying on his job Shank Is pulling off his "potato" stunt over the country, and last week he was down at Louisville betting his money on the Kentucky derby. It Is reported that he was a big winner on these horse races. He was so aroused over his winnings that he said he would return this week and play the races to the end. Is this the kind of a man the republicans of Indiana, w"t for governor?"' One of the Indianapolis papers a few days ago made the statement that James P. Goodrich wa certain of the nomination for governor, and that he had made up his mind to go after the place. Goodrich has made no such statement or announcement. It Is well known that his friends have been trying to coax him into the race, but he has not entered, and it is regarded as extremely doubtful that he will enter. The politicians say there would be no room for any other candidate If Goodrich would enter the race, but that he will not get In. It Ls said th.t the antisaloon league would be satisfied with the nomination of Goodrich.

Another demonstration of the danger of dogs kept chained until they become vicious, was given in" the experience of Steve Pinschak who conducts a saloon at Railroad and Chicago avenues, Kast Chicago. Pinschak was almost torn to pieces' Thursday night by an immense yellow mastiff owned by him, and which he keeps chained almost all of .the time. The night before, the brute attacked three women and it "was with difficulty that he was restrained from doing them serious harm. He has since been killed. Tinschak had released the dog during the evening Thursday, and later he happened in the vicinity of the anlrml. The dog leaped at his throat, without warning, it is said, and sunk his fangs

deep in the flesh. The man was powerless to protect himself against the tremendous strength of the dog and the latter had chewed his head, arms and breast, before he released his victim. With blood streaming from a score of places, the saloon keeper was picked up by patrons of his establishment, who hurried htm to Dr. Schlieker's drug store where his wounds were given a preliminary dressing. He was thence conveyed to St. Margaret's hospital. The dog was shot after the assault on Pinschak, his head severed from his body and sent for examination to the Pasteur Institute in Chicago. Pinschak's experience may be a lesson to a number of East Chicago sa

loon keepers and others who keep dogs chained all day and much of the time at night and warning against the practice has been issued. It is a wellknown fact that dogs deprived of a reasonable amount of liberty become craeid and desperate, and not to be trusted when they are set free.

18 YEAR OLD LAD IS ELECTROCUTED Details of Steel Works Tragedy Are Not Given to the Public.

An eighteen-year-old boy employed at the Gary works of the Illinois Steel company was electrocuted while it work yesterday. No details regarding the death are available and apparently an effort was made to hush it up. Victor Slovinskl of Fifteenth avenue and Main street, Tolleeton, la the name of the victim. His remains were taken to Hoover's morgue yesterday and from there were sent to his home. On Wednesday Javel Spainlslaw, 23 years old, an employe of the American Bridge company, received Injuries that caused his death. This makes two steel worker deaths for the week.

A TIMES

Your Dollar Buys More When you buy a Studebaker-E-M-F "30" or Studebaker-: Flanders "20" you get more for your money, dollar for dollar, than in any other car built. There may be other good cars but what is their price? .That's the nib.. If they really are good cars, they necessarily cost more because comparatively few are built. Some poor cars, you know, are high priced too, so that the dealer can fool you by cutting the price. What a car is really worth, not what it costs, should be your standard. The Studebaker Corporation has the largest and best automobile factories in the world. We could build and sell any competing car today for less money than its present price. In your Studebaker-E-M-F "30" or Flanders "20" you get full value, because the biggest factories and the best brains in the industry build these cars.

There is a possibllit ythat the United States Steel corporation will expand its coke oven facilities at Gary. During the past few weeks "President Farrell has been Inspecting the Frlck company's (a steel trust subsidiary) bee-hive coke ovens In the Connellsvllle district and It is rumored in that part of Pennsylvania that the GaryJoliet district is to have new coke ovens. In A Big Industry.

Gary now has 560 by-product ovens which are equal to 4480 ovens of the bee-hive type. They are operated by the Ilinois Steel company at a cost of $7,500,000 the money being appropriated three years ago. , The ovena em

ploye 830 men and consume 7,000 tons of coal daily. Despite the heavy production, of coke it is stll necessary to import 1,000 tons of Pennsylvania coke daily for use of the Gary and South Chicago nMlls. The Connellsvllle Courier, the recognized journal of the coke trade, and true to the Pennsylvania interests views Gary in no small light. It fears that it will be the coke cente"r of the west. This week's Courier prints in connection with President Farrell'a inspection tor of the east: Oary'n RIk la Feared. "If the visit of the President Farrell and Vice President Kerr of tha United States Steel Corporation to the Connellsvllle region and the careful inspection of the coking plants of the corporation here portends no new acquisitions or improvements, it la at least a marked tribute to the prime Importance of Connellsvllle coke as furnace fuel in spite of the large sums

of money spent In the construction of

by-product ovens at Gary and Joliet to make coke from the inferior coals of

Indiana and Illinois.

"While the Steel Corporation has

been chary . indiffusing information

about the character and yield of It

lake shore by-product ovena, experi

ence has demonstrated tljat the best coke is made, from the best coal, but that an available coke may be made of inferior coal In by-product ovens at a minimum cost. By an "available" coke we mean a coke that though inferor in chemical and physical quali

ties, and smelting a less quantity of

ore per ton, ls still at cheaper coke at

the furnace than the cokes of other regions made In bee-hive ovens from

better grades of coal.. Freight To Gry Costly.

'The freight on Connellsvllle coke from this region to Gary and Joliet Is $2.35 per ton. Considering the value

of Connellsvllle coking coal .per ' acre and Its limited quantity, Connellsvllle coke laid down at the Gary and Joliet furnaces ls worth $5.00 per ton. It ls probable, that the by-product coke, making due allowance for Its smelting capacity and other deficiencies, ls atill

a good fuel proppsitlon. Gary Needs More Coke. The Steel Corporation has 560 by

product ovens at Gary and 280 at Joliet. It was announced some time

ago that these would provide all the coke for the plants there and no more Connellsvllle coke would be shipped to

those points; nevertheless, it is a fact that about 1,000 tons per day Is still being shipped from this region to these Lake front furnices. It is possible that this coke is necessary because of delay In operating the by-product ovens to full capacity, or it may have been found advisable to mix Connellsvllle coke with by-product coke just

as the Indiana and Illinois coals are

mixed with Pocahontas ooal to Im

prove the quality of the Gary coke product. In any event It seems that our coke is still necessary In some

quantity at the lake front plants of

the Steel Corporation." '

culiarly well qualified for the position she seeks for the reason that she knows country school work as well ss

she does city school work.

"Her experience as a teacher extends over a period of twenty-six years, nd wherever se has taught she

has left her impress not only on the

student body as a whole,' but particu

larly upon the character ordinarily

known as the "bad boy" In whose breast she has planted the desire and

ambition to be a man. Mrs. Hedlund believes that teachers who have taught for twenty-five years are entitled to recognition in some substan

tial manner and favors a law provld

lng for the pensioning of teachers.

She favors the establishment ; of

home for old teachers who are not

able otherwise to enjoy the comforts

of home life. '

"Mrs. Hedlund believes ' that progressive methods should be emphasised in rural school work to the same extent- that they are in the city school

work and that the farmer's boys and girls are entitled to as' good training as is the boy and girl in the city. To that end she favors a law similar to

that known as the "German civil serv

ice law," which makes the qualifica

tion of the teacher the basis for the

salary, and which provides for the same class of teachers In country schools and small towns as in tbe city school. v . ' "Mrs. Hedlund has declined promotions to a princlpalshlp In order that she might remain in cloie touch with boys and girls. Her best recommendations are the bcya and girls whom she has taught aid It Is predicted that she will not inly be triumphantly nominated at Jthe primary, but that she will be ele led In November by a large majority."' -
