EVIDENCE OF DEFENSE COMPLETED FRIDAY IN GREGG DIVORCE CASE

The defense In the Gregg divorce case completed Its Introduction of testimony before Special Judge William ' Sparks ' in Wayne circuit court " Friday morning. The hearing , of the case was resumed Thursday morning. Judge Sparks will hear the arguments Nov. 10. - The case. Mamie C. Gregg against William H. Gregg, has been stubbornly contested by both sides and its hearing has occupied more time than any other divorce action tried in Wayne circuit court for many years. The Greggs have lived on a farm near Centerville for a number of years and are well known. The' disposition of the property and the custody of the three children are the principal points of dispute. The farm is owned by Mrs. Gregg. .Her husband asks for an interest in the property because of the money he has invested in it for repairs and improvements. Mrs. Gregg on two other occasions has filed suit for divorce, but later withdrew her complaints. In the complaint which, resulted in the trial which has been in progress this week, Mrs. Gregg charged cruel ana inhuman treatment. Gregg filed a cross-complaint charging his wife with cruel treatment of himself and the three children. Principal witnesses introduced by the. defense Friday were Miss Genevieve Gregg, sister of the defendant, Harold Gregg, one of the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Gregg, and indge William A. Bond, who had been attorney for Mrs. Gregg on one occasion. Miss Gregg testified that her brother did not treat his wife cruelly and. in fact, had been very considerate of her. She described Mrs. Gregg as a moodv woman who had been known

not to speak to her husband for weeks at a time. She said Gregg had several times suggested to his wife that she buy new clothes and new hats but that she refused to do so. Miss Gregg also testified that Mrs. Gregg would not make enough clothes for the children and that on occasions f he had made the boys wear damp ovealls because she would not iron their clothing. She said the baby frequently had many sores on her body, due to improper care. She testified that Mrs. Gregg refused to invest her monov in farm improvements. She denied that Gregg had once forced his wife to sign a note to meet the expense or building a corn crib by threatening her with his fists. Asked on cross examination if it were not a fact that Mr3. Gregg's manuscripts for magazine articles, which the defense claims are plagiarisms, were secured from a book case by Miss Gregg breaking the book case lock, the witness stated that the lock was not broken but had been opened with a button hook. Miss Gregg testified that she was a miniautre portrait painter and had lived in California .24 years, returning to this county about a year ago. Harold Gregg, a boy in short trousers, stated that his mother. had remarked to him that if she could "put that old devil out of the way," she would take the children and buy a large farm. He said the person she referred to as an "old devil" was his father. He said he told his mother he preferred to remain with his father He told how his mother had tied him to a tree with his hands behind him.

Junior High Notes

One hundred witches, boys, girls, old men and old ladies were in evidence at the Hallowe'en masquerade party given for Garfield girls in the gymnasium Thursday evening. Each person unmasked as her schoolmates guessed her identity. A cat and dog hunt after peanuts and stunts by groups were part of the entertainment. After a lunch the party had fortunes, past, present and future," told : by two very glib and resourceful fortune tellers. The party was one of the most successful of the year at Garfield. Because all the girls cannot he accommodated at a time it is necessary to plan parties. for only 100 girls at a time. Teachers from schools in Alexandria, O.. were visiting at Garfield Junior high Friday.

COX ATTACKS IDEA OF CHANGE IN TALK AT STATE CAPITAL

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29 James M. Cox, returning to Indiana for his thirtieth Hoosier address of the campaign, spoke before an immense crowd at Tomlinson hall last night. In his speech he sought to meet the arguments of those voters who demand "a change" in the national administration at Washington. He reminded the crowd, a reminder which he first offered a heckler in a western state, that Cox and not Woodrow Wilson is the Democratic candidate this year and declared that "a change" would be a change to a Republican administration that would offer everything that is bad in government. Appealing to German-American voters. Governor Cox declared that had it not been for the United States at the peace conference, "Germany would have been cut to pieces like a beefsteak." Governor Cox was given an enthusiastic reception when he entered Tomlinson hall about 8:30 o'clock. Before going inside Mr. Cox, standing on the south balcony, spoke briefly to an overflow crowd that spread out over Washington street. Tomlinson hall was filled immediately after its doors were thrown open at 6 o'clock. Those who came early got the seats, though they had a wait of more than two and one-half hours before the candidate appeared. Thomas Taggart was chairman of the meeting. He first introduced Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch, nominee for governor, who, beginning shortly be-

iore 8 o clock, spoke until Mr. Cox arrived. Declares People for League. Governor Cox's speech follows in part : "When I started this campaign, I made the prediction that we would drive our opponents out of the front trench by mid-October. I have now visited thirty-six states. Not only has that prediction come true, but the retreat of the reactionary forces has become a rout. The American people clearly are for our going Into-the league. The lines are definitely set. My election means our going into the league, and notwithstanding the "wiggling and wobbling' of Senator Harding, the voters have taken him at his word that he is against the leasrue

i and that he has turned his back upon

it. "As in 1912, when the forces of reaction were beaten, the rout has come with the understanding of the American people that this is not a partisan campaign and by the acquisition to our cause of the Independent Republicans and Progressives who joined Roosevelt in administering the rebuke then. Every smoke screen set up by the senatorial oligarchy has been pierced and every entanglement has been torn down. The specious attempt to build up a slogan for a 'change' is the last to fall. With analysis of what a change would mean, the people have gained understanding and have m&tle their decision. Believes Cause Sacred "I have not" made this a partisan campaign, but have urged the support

! of all right thinking people in behalf jof a cause thaj is sacred and which

ougnt not to be in pontics at all. I have definitely announced my position for entrance into the league and have demanded that my opponents make their fight upon that issue and upon me. They have failed in their attempt to divert the issue. "In my pilgrimage I have talked with many men of all parties and of all creeds. Republicans, when thev

were honest, have acknowledged what

is patent to every one that no one really wants Senator Harding for president. And yet they tell me that, as partisans, many expected to vote for him because they had been taught to believe that they 'wanted a change'.

The expression waB preached, as propaganda by reactionary leaders until It has become nauseating to the public, and in revulsion they have paused to ask themselves . these questions : "Do they want a . change that will mean tax revision from a, big business point of view? That Is the change they would get from Senator Harding."

BIDS OPENED FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Bids for the erection of the Junior!

high school at Seventh street and Peacock road were submitted to the school board of the city at their meeting Thursday afternoon, and taken under consideration for the 10 days. The architects, Perkins. Fellows and Hamilton of Chicago had estimated the cost of the building at $450,000. The aggregate of the lowest bids submitted amounted to $373,644 or $76,356 less than the estimate. The total highest bids offered was $512,651 or $72,631 more than the estimate. The bids coming under the estimate were pointed to by Charles Jordan, president of the board, as an indication of a drop in prices. He predicted that when bids for the other school house contemplated by the board are received that they will be considerably lower. If the present bids are allowed, as seems probable, the new Junior high school will be the highest priced building, with the exception of the high school, in the city.

QUAKERS WILL REST SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Earlham football men ,will have a vacation Saturday, that being an open date on their schedule. Coach Mowe will not let the outfit off without any entertainment and has decided on a short scrimmage to keep the eleven in good condition. The cold weather has put considerable snap into the practices the past two days. The intensely warm weather that has prevailed throughout the football season thus far has worked hardships on all teams in general and the Quakers in particular. The change to colder weather will undoubtedly aid the Quakers in perfecting their of fense.and defense for the Kalamazoo game. Coach Mowe has his squad settled down to a hard working outfit. No great changes are expected in the lineups for the rest of the season, unless some more serious accidents occut to mar the chances of the Quakers for their record season. Although several of the Earlham uad are bruised up most of them will be in shape for Nov. 6's contest. Carter will continue to pilot the team from the quarterback position, in spite of the fact that he is playing with a broken hand. Captain Hall may be shifted to a backfield position because of a broken finger. Bookout

and Nicholson, two of "the" best endsi that ever represented the Maroon and.; White, are in good shape and working ,

, hard to discourage any attempts of the Kalamozoo team to chase runs around them. -. ' : - j i f l j r: :
