WISCONSIN WOMAN
FIRST TO RECEIVE SUPPORT OF PARTY
(By Associated Press) OSHKOSH, Wis., July 11. Mrs. Ben C. Hooper, of Oshkosh, Wis., is the first woman in Wisconsin to receive the indorsement of a political party for nominee as United States senator. At the recent state Democratic conference she was unanimously chosen to represent the party at . the September primaVes. This means that she will oppose either U. S. Senator Robert M. LaFollette or Dr. W. A. Garfield, nominees of two different factions of the Republican party at the general election. . For the last 15 years, Mrs. Hooper has been an ardent worker for woman suffrage. When women were given the right to vote, she was instrumental in organizing the Wisconsin League of Women Voters of which she has been president since its organization ife!1919. She was a member of the National committee on Armament Reduction of the Wisconsin League of Women Voters and also was a member of the National American Women's " Suffrage board. Born In 1865
Mrs. Hooper was born in WinneBheak county, Iowa in 1865, and be
cause of delicate health, never had an opportunity to attend public schools,
receiving her education through training of a governess. She has been a resident of Wisconsin for the last 35
years
Marriage, according to Mrs. Hooper
does not destroy womans identity,
and she is quoted as saying: "The time is coming when women, in her
tenacious ability to get what she is 'after, will find a way of marrying and
having a home and family without giving up her identity and independ

ENOCH ARDEN LAW MAKES ALBANY FAMOUS; STATUTE PROVIDES GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

NEW YORK CITY, July 11.--iAlbany.'
which is usually quite overslsndowed by the dazzling personality of;its sis
ter, New York City, has recejntly acquired a brilliant fame all lt3 awn. It is the home of the new Enochs Arden divorce law.
As such, it is attracting mucfc attention; distinctly flattering to ons whose importance has at times been flighted. People who never heard of .Albany before know of its existence maw. The desks of officials are piled higli daily like those of movie stars, with letters from enthusiastic divorce fans siU over the country, eager to know ifl their matrimonial status may be entHd under the new statute, which makfcs five years' absence a second ground or divorce in the state of New York. These letters are written upcn all sorts of stationery, from the elaborate, monogramed and faintly scented) kind to the cheap scratch-pad vicriety. About five out of every six are from
women, showing that, the male fx is more inclined to leave home and forget to send a forwarding address than is the feminine. Many Inquiries thave also been received from law firmsSboth in and out of the state, indicating: Hhat numerous divorce suits of the Ite.och Arden variety are in preparation. First Edition Exhaueted
ine nrst edition or the law in nam
new Swift act 13 probably due to the Conner, of Indianapolis, dined with
fact tiat it is regarded as essentially fair and Just. When one of the partners to a marriage contract suddenly vanishes without warning, leaving no trace, and remains in silent retirement for a period of five years, the deserted partner most people will agree is justified in taking steps to end the marriage. In the past, the New York divorce
law made no allowances for such a situation. A married woman had to present the court (and at the same time all of her friends and acquaintances) with certain unelevating facts concerning her husband before she could obtain her freedom. This necessity, always regrettable, was also impossible when the husband had completely disappeared. As a result, the Enoch Arden drama occurred rather frequently in family life, sometimes with ugly complications. An Unusual Case There is the case of one woman, for instance, who was cruelly deserted by her hwsband, a young actor of roving disposition, when their baby wa3 only three months old. The young wife, herself scarcely more than a child, worked and supported her boy for 10 years. At the end of that time she received an offer of marriage from a

merely request copies of tho law, loth

Circuit Court
TWO DIVORCE SUITS Two petitions for divorce were filed in Circuit court late Monday afternoon. Rose Busherse applied for a separation from George Busherse, charging cruel and inhuman treatment. The couple was married Jan. 25, 1922, and finally separated on July 10, 1922. Mrs. Busherse asks her maiden name of Rose Wessel. Grace A. Roberts filed suit against Charles W. Roberts, of Centerville. asking for a divorce. The couple was married Oct. 4, 1910, and have six children ranging in age from 11 years to five months. The couple separated July 6.

that while her husband had been geme five or six years, she was very happy to get rid of him and now looked fearward to the complete preservation (Cf that happiness by a divorce decree.
One Who Drifted Away. Another woman in asking for a coitr
of the law casually informed the see-
retary that her husband, who had been a professional balloonist, performirfe for the benefit of county fairs, mu it have "drifted away,' 'as she had heairi nothing from him since 1916 when h? was in the Middle West. Many of the letters consist of long' and eloquent praises of Governor Milt ler who signed tho Swift act, "thus
opening an avenue of escape" as one woman put it "to thou lands of help-

but also because she could not rely upon the patience of her wealthy
suitor. As ehe confided to a friend, "It was a chance that had to be snapped up quickly. And I took It." Finds Wife Married
Three years later, as they say in the
movie captions, the actcr husband re
turned and found his wife happily mar
ried to another man, enjoying an
attractive home and social position and a delightful baby girl. It was
manifestly up to him to melt patheti cally out of the picture in the time
honored Enoch Arden fashion, but he refused to accept his proper cue. Instead, it occurred to him that here
was a fine opportunity for blackmail
Not long after that, the whole melodramatic story was reported in the news
papers. The wife had finally disposed , Ca;n and

SHOCKED AND KNOCKED i FROM TOP OF INTERURBAN & ANDERSON, Ind., July 11. Ray Carpenter, 35 years old, an interurban motorman, was knocked from the top of a traction car near here yesterday when the wrench he was using came in contact with the trolly wire. Six hundred volts of electricity passed through his body. He fell 15 feet from the top of the car. Carpenter was hurt about the chest, but it is believed that he will recover.

woman evidently assumed that the! word "Swift" referred to speed rather l than the author, for she wrote, for a 5
copy of the "quick divorce law." Since the law has gone into effect, some puzzling cases have come to the attention of the secretary of state. One man stated that ho was a former resident of New-York state, but that he had married a Canadian and had been
living in Canada for the past seven or eight years. Hi3 wife suddenly left home about five years ago and has not
been heard from since. The husband, still living in Canada, wants to know
if under the new law he can obtain a
divorce. Receive Other Inquiries Other inquiries of a complicated nature have also been received from hundreds of alleged New Yorkers dwelling in other states. Apparently everybody who has ever lived in New York and has since been deserted by a nomadic spouse wants to take advantage of the Enoch Arden feature. Most of the cases, however, are brought by permanent residents here in the state of New York, who have hitherto been handicapped by the stringency of the old divorce law.
