In which brother was arrayed against brother and sister against sister was written today by County Judge Anderson, who held- that ' " 1 w a. vummon-mw mar riage between Leona Case and the late Ernest PL Case. By his decision. Judge Anderson re moved any question as to the good name of little Dorothy Case, aged 2 years, and made certain that she would chare the estate of her murdered father. "There is more than mere property rlght3 involved in this case; more than a mere matter of dollars and cents," Judge Anderson said. "The good name of this little girl, Dorothy Case, is In volved. All through this series of tragedies she has been the innocent pawn of circumstances, a victim at "very turn. Through my decision she will escape a stigma which would fol low her through life." Baby's Grave Is Evidence. The common-law marriage was proved largely through deeds, notes end letters from other members of the family in which Leona was always mentioned as Ernest's wife. Three let ters from Mrs. Belle Booth, sister of 'he late Ernest and Sam Case, in which Mrs. Booth called Leona "Dear Sister," were introduced as evidence.

In response to a request from the Republi can National Committee that he give his reasons why Charles Evans Hughes should be elected President of tne United States, Governor Withycombe today replied as follows: "Charles Evans Hughes Im a man whom Americans Indorse with sincere satisfaction, be they Republicans, Pro gressives, or of that class which care more for individual reputation than it does for party affiliation. "Xo man in the United States has a more . admirable . record than Mr. Hughes. He is, and always ias beer, a vigorous champion of the square deal In public private and commercial life. 'He has held high office with great credit. His past Is clean; his hands are tied by no one. He is a free agent of wide experience, unquestioned ability and progressive vision. .

A vote for Hughes may put in the Pres idency a man who stands unequlvo cably for the Susan B. Anthony amend ment and a party who is not bound by an outgrown shibboleth of state's rights." Laboring Women Turned Down. Miss Whittemore. of Detroit, Mich., organizer for the state of Oregon for the National Women's party, followed Mrs. Kent. She told of 400 women of the laboring class who called at the White House and asked for a five-minute intervlewwlth the President. Al though the rt-esident was in normal health, they were kept waiting two hours, standing in the snow, and then he gave them an opportunity to pass through and gaze upon him, saying he could not give them an interview and that he could not even stand the strain of shaking hands with them." "A number of people here, both men and women, have voluntarily told us they have changed their minds and will vote for Hughes." Miss Whittemore said after the meeting. "Great num bers of people at every place we have visited have made similar statements." ROSSI TO SEEK DIVORCE COXFEREXCB OF- ATTOR5ET3 AJfD PRINCIPALS CALLED.

The United States radio station being constructed at Englewood, a sub urb of Marshfield, Is about one-third finished. The piling for the residences has been driven and the grading at the site is one-half completed. A hill Is being cut away to make the fill re quired for the grounds surrounding the station. A large percentage of the lumber has been delivered and the buildings now are under way. California, pointed out that the Na tional woman's party, of which she Is National vice-chairman, does not on- pose the Democratic party or favor the nepuniican partj. as a party, but does oppose the re-election of President Wilson, because of the stand he has taken against equal suffrage. All parties, the speaker explained, have Indorsed women suffrage, but by different methods, and tho Republican party has made it a National issue, making it one of its platform planks. Issue Dodged, Says Speaker. "President Wilson, in explaining why he urged the child labor bill through the last Congress, said he did so be cause the bill was a plank in the Dem ocratic platform." Mrs. Kent said. "He further explained that as the Fed eral suffrage amendment was not a plank in the Democratic platform he was obliged to stand only for the state-by-state method. "As he wrote the child-labor bill plank, he could also have written the Federal suffrage amendment plank and therefore could have insisted on the passage of this measure. It is, of course, clear that Mr. Wilson disbe lieves in the Federal amendment meth od, and this being so, the deduction to my mind is equally clear that no wom an who believes in equal suffrage as a paramount Issue can vote for Wil son." Mrs. Kent declared that the women's party has but one platform plank and that is equal suffrage. Suffrage Is Big Question. "It Is the big question now." she said. "Every political party has a suffrage plank in its platform, but only with ORPHEUM STAR ENJOYS COOKING FOR HUSBAND Naomi Glass Tries Out Each New Recipe on Partner and Says She Is Wife and Mother First, Actress Second. BY LEONE CASS BAER. IN THE first place, Naomi is not her name. It's Nhyoma. "So don't say there's nothing in a name," , says its owner. "Grandmother got Nhyoma out of a novel she read in her girlhood and saved up the name until she could tack it onto someone. When I happened along she wished it on me. And it was all right as names go until I went. In for a career on the stage. "Can you imagine an audience puz zling over Nhyoma on a programme? So I just changed it to the name that sounded nearest it. That's why I'm Naomi. And my little girl is Naomi, too." "Your little girl," I echoed, "why you're lust a little girl yourself." "Well, maybe it's not good theatrical ethics for actresses to prattle about their domestlo lives, but I am mother first and lady of the footlights second," said Naomi Glass. Saying which she handed me a photograph case, from out of which smiled Naomi the second and Sam. Partner on Stage Is Husband. Bautlful llttlef aces theirs are, all sunshiny smiles and graces of youth. Sam is named for his grandfather. Sam Morton, of the team of Sam and Kitty Morton, and of course you know that Paul Morton, Miss Glass' partner at the Orpheum, is also her husband. He used to be one of the Four Mortons, until bis sister Clara came out as a single. Sam and Kitty made a team and the little Naomi and Sam were big enough for their mother to return to the footlights. So these two fixed up an act. and all of that bungalow chat ter and the baby-buggy tango stuff you see in their act was inspired right in their own little dove-cote at Free port, Long Island, where they keep house whenever they're not on the road. Just now the children are In Chicago with their mother's mother, and there's lots of lonesome hours for daddy and mother. ! Family to Have Reunion Christmas.-' "We get letters all scribbled over with pictures and printing," said Miss Glass. "Christmas week we will see" the kiddles. Their governess will bring them out to meet us in Omaha, and we'll have a tree and a reunion. My husband and I are counting the days. "I'm awfully domestic, too. I love to cook, and each tasty new dish I run across I get the chef to give me the recipe and I experiment on Mr. Morton. t A:- s -N Si' ": 3 1 Naomi Glass. Orpheum Star, Wo Discusses Domesticity. Have you got any recipes you can give me?" She paused expectantly. I told her that what I didn't know about cooking would fill several libraries. "Well." she said. "I'll start your edu cation with the very best and choicest recipe in my collection. It's a break fast dish, and you know that every thing depends on starting a day rightly. , "You take some nice thick ham. and then you take. a tablespoonful of dry mustard and a tablespoonful of sugar and mix them. Then you sprinkle It on both sides of the ham and put It in a roasting pan with Just enough milk barely to cover It. You cook it until the milk is all absorbed. When it's done It's browned thick, kindy crusty like. And it's dee-lich-eeous! You serve It with nice. hot. crispy buttered toast " My mouth was watering. Even though my bump for cooking is a fine large dent, I know a good thing when I hear It. "Now do try it on your own little stove." said the charming Naomi at parting. And I said I would. I gotta a fat chance. I live in an hotel, and my best little stove is a darned old team rsdis'or. "INVISIBLES" ARE SCORED (Continued From First Pa ge. present Administration has done a great deal for business. It is said 1 believe it was said in this city that It had unshackled business. Well, when I inquire how this has been accom plished X am referred to the anti-trust act. "It is said that business was heavy with uncertainty because of the lack of clear definition of the wrongs de scribed In the anti-trust act. and that this Administration had come to the relief of business, and had secured ade quate definition of the evil. Anti-Trust Act Not Clarified. "I know something of the statutes, and I think I know what they declare and what they mean, or at least what it can be said they do not accomplish, and I am free to say that I am amazed at any such claim as there has been put forward. There has been no clarl llcation of the anti-trust act. There has been no definition of the offenses described by the anti-trust act. "What has been done is the addition of a phrase to the law. the intent ol which no lawyer knows. I refer to the phrase 'unfair competition' or 'uniai, methods of competition.' which hat been introduced into the law through the Federal trade Commission bill, a term of unknown purport. "It is said that the matter Is referred to the Federal Trade Commission, and here Is another extraordinary fallacy. The Federal Trade Commission cannot define its own powers or the legal meaning of the terms which confer those powers. What has been accom plished by the introduction of this fake phrase Is the invitation to years of litigation, in order that in some way we may find out what It means. "Then, it is said that business has been aided by the Government shipping bill. Now, that is the kind of aid to business which it does not seem to me business can afford to have. I do not believe in introducing the Government Into competition with private industry of the country. Real Opportunity Neglected. "If we desire to ascertain what is the real attitude of the Administration to business, we have little difficulty in ascertaining the facts. We saw at the very outset of the Administration a greiit opportunity for this Nation to participate, I mean for certain bankers who had taken up the work really, I believe, at the suggestion of former Administrations, in the great loans vwhich were to be made for the devel opment of China. "Here was a legitimate basis for the extension of American enterprise. If the Admlnlstraf.on had really desired that we should have American enter prise expanded throughout the world and that we should have our lust Influ ence in the Far East, there was an opportunity for a proper basiB for it. Instead of that, it was discouraged, and the result was that the participa tion was not taken advantage of. "One of the most distinguished sup porters of the Administration, Dr. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, exam ined the record of the Administration, to the conclusion that its record with respect to Mexico meant this: That hereafter we did not propose to afford full protection by force of arms to those who represented American en terprise in foreign parts; and yet it was only four years ago that our op ponents wrote large In their platform that the constitutional rights of Amer ican citizens should go with them throughout the world and that they should have full protection wherever they were lawfully for their lives and their property. Americans Not Protected Abroad. "The result is that, according to the analysis made of the record of the Ad ministration, notice has been served that full protection will not be accord ed to those who go abroad carrying American enterprise in foreign parts, and yet. it is said we should encourage foreign trade; yet It Is said we should serve humanity." Mr. Hughes left here at 1 A, II, for points in South Dakota. - Mr. Hughes spoke today to farmers in Hastings. Grand Island. Columbus and Fremont. He again answered the declaration that a "vote for me means a rote for war." "hen we criticise our opponent's action in connection with foreign af fairs," Mr. Hughes eaid. "we are told that we must desire war. A more bankrupt Justification I cannot im agine! A more preposterous suggestion I cannot conceive! It Is said and pro claimed as though the American elec torate could be deceived by such words that a vote for me means a vote for war.
