(Asortll Prom Leased Wire)
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 21. Be-
net Unit fear of economic respoitei
. bilfly should not hamper marriage
VimonK young people haw emmed E.
. HuldemuuJulius, prominent Kan
bus publisher and an tit or, to ap
prove the wedding of his 38 year
old (laughtpr to a youth of 20 on a
companionate basis, he explained
hi an announcement printed by
Kansas City papers.
The 38-year-old publisher who
first gained prominence by distrib
uting millions of booklets contain
ing extracts from classical works
at nominal prices, declared he be
lieved his daughter, Josephine,
would be better off married to the
youth she loves than to await the
time when they would be finan
cially Independent.
Josephine, a -junior in high
school at Girnrd, Kansas, where
her father's largo plant Is located,
will finish her schooling there and
then enter college, Mr. Haldeman
JuIIuh said. The bridegroom, Au
brey C. Uoselle, is a sophomore at
tho University of Kansas. He is
Ihu sou of II. A. Rosulle, Guard
trenmery, owner. .
While Mr. Haldeman-Julius did
hot give a specific definition of
his conception of a "companionate
union," he explained that neither
of tho young people will assume
uny financial responsibility.
"They will go and come largely
ns (hey please," his announcement
said, "meeting In either of their
pnrental homes, attending their
different schools. If the union
proves satisfactory and love con
tinues between thtni, an ordlnury
marriage will result. Otherwise a
divorce will sever the relation.
"In case of children, however,
the union would be a 'family inar-i
rlage," he said. He believed this;
would place economic responsibil
ity on the parents. Me added that!
ho expected "the union would go
forward on a childless basis until
it was proved permanent."
"I am attacking the notion that
marriage spells the beginning of
life's hard economic battle for
youngsters. They are old enough
, to marry long before they are old
enough to get Into the world's
work. In many cases," he con
cluded. Mrs. Hnldeman-Jullus, In a state
ment to the Kansas City Star, said
she wished to distinguish between
tho confusion existing in the pub
lic mind between a marriage on aj
MAR G
companionate basis anil tne so
called "trial marriage" which she
declared was exactly the opposite.
"Josephine and Aubrey certainly
are going into it In all earnestness
and with full Intention of making
a life long success of it," Mrs.
Haldeman-Julius said at her home
In Girnrd.

'companionate marriage only be

'All right! Let's go," Oslund
said he told her. She produced a

Oslund, a bookkeeper, said he ar
rived here recently from Califor

drinking a poisoned rose spray at
the home of Mrs. Marlon Johnson,
who died from drinking the same
poison, was still alive today anil
hospital attendants believed he
might recover.
On a tnble in Mrs. Johnson's
kitchen were found four whisky
glasses. In two of them police
said they found the remains of
moonshine and in the other two
were dregs of the poison.
Mrs. Johnson had left a note In
dicating her wish that her 12 year
old son and everything she possess
ed should go to the boy's grand
mother. Mrs. Rose Pnirett of Ya
kima, Wash.
Nothing was found to indicate
that Oslund had participated In a
suicide pact with the woman.
Police are trying to discover how
ho happened to drink the poison
with the woman.
The poison was the same kind of
spray that caused the deaths at a
party here about a week ago of a
man and woman who were believed
to have drunk it from a bottle
which they thought contained wine.

learned from uu authoritative
source that friends of Governor

thirds vote to nominate the candi

The Times, which is friendly to

thnt there is little llkllhood of his
opponents getting a block of more

The governor's supporters, the

tation against the two-thirds rule
would provoke ill feeling that
might prevent the governor's elec

that It would be well for tho sake
of party harmony to avoid any
comnci over tue rule.
Barring a change In the situa

CHICAGO, Nov. 21. A terror
Ism uh barbaric as any In the cata
log of crime terrorism that com
mits mayhem, disabling its vic
tims for life has been uncovered
iu the police Investigation of wild
cat labor racketeering.
Underworld hoodluiuism, grown
lenn In the cramped and crowded
fields of bootlegging, rum running,
und gambling, has turned, lu some
Instances which the police have
found, to the more lucrative sphere
of "wildcat" orgunlzlng Into unions
of small tradesmen, itinerant deul
ors und others.
Tho police are confident that
John P. McLaughlin, an officer of
the dental laboratories, Mechanics'
Union, who was shot by a police
man Friday night after walking in
to a police trap, went into tho
"labor rucket" when money got
scarce in the liquor trade. Mc
Laughlin, they said, became a la
bor racketer .only recently, after
leaving the service of Victor Mc
Erlane, listed as one of the Chi
cago "beer baronB'."
McLaughlin and Henry Atlles,
president of the Mechanics' Union,
confessed, police said, that they
were waiting In a dark alloy "to
break all the bones In John Ko
masa's hands, so ho could not
'scab' any more"
Komasa'a name was on one of
three cards hidden behind a pic
ture ou the wall of the union head
quarters These three, according to
Walter O. Wulker, a special assis
tant slate's attorney, who has been
conducting the investigation, were ,
"marked fur muyhem" by the rack-1
elurd. Their finger were to have i
been battered so that they cduld
no longer do their work, Walkori
said.
Mayhem, as a terrorism weapon, 1
has evolved, the police pointed out,
from slugging, window smashing
and bombing, all three of which'
have been employed by outlaw or
ganizers seeking to force stubborn :
workmen and tradesmen to join
their organization.
"Slugging? were used at first to
fill the ranks," Walker said. "This
proving Ineffectual, window smash
ing was employed, and then bomb
ing. Property damage by window
breaking or bombing usually prov
ed only a temporary scare. More
often than not, the damaged projH
erty was not owned by the man
the organizers sought to intimi
date. "Tho records of men now found
in the various 'racket' show that
many of thorn started out as petty
pollco characters, went Into boot
legging when money was to be
made, and now are In the profit
able racketer movement. The rec
ord of McLaughlin is typical of
many others."
