Attention Fixed by Guggenheim Case Begs Fielder Jones to Go Home.
Troubles of Millionaire Babies Public Schools Under Critic's Lash."

BY JONATHAN PALMER.
CHICAGO. June 19. (Special.) The
town is stirred up on the divorce
question again. The latest angle
in the Guggenheim domestic drama i
the cause of it. The former Mrs. Will
la n Guggenheim seeks to have her de
cree of divorce granted eight years ago
by Judge Edward F. Dunne declared
void on the ground the court was de
ceived. That would make her still the
legal wife of Guggenheim and place
the present Mrs. Guggenheim and her
children in an unenviable predicament.
There is not much interest here in the
domestic, affairs of the Guggenheims.
Chicago's resentment against this revival
of an old and supposedly closed incident
lies In the fact it calls attention anew
to the lax divorce conditions that used to
obtain. Illinois has been trying to get
out of the class with South Dakota and
Nevada. Then, about a year ago, came
along the census report on divorces,
showing that for every 12 marriages there
is one divorce In this country; that the
rate Is the highest In any civilized coun
try In the world; that and there was the
rub Illinois granted more divorces than
any other state and gave the rate a big
boost.
. New Way to Prevent Fraud.
Sixty per cent of the divorces granted
In South Dakota In 1908 were to men and
women of other states, who had gone
there for that purpose. South Dakota,
although the state is said to have been
enriched $5,000,000 by divorce immigration,
grew tired of her distinction and has
taken steps to wipe It out. Even Nevada
is making a move in that direction.
Thereupon comes the haunting fear that
Illinois will take first rank again, hence
the sensation caused by this Guggenheim
affair.
To make duplication of the alleged Gug
genheim fraud practically impossible. It
Is now proposed there shall be a divorce
commissioner whose duty it shall be to
investigate applications for divorce here.
Thus the state would become a party and
would have better means of keeping
blotches off Its escutcheon. The divorce
commissioner would stand to the court
somewhat In the relationship of a mas
ter in chancery. It is conceded the com
missioner would have to be a man of un
assailable integrity, else he would fall
before temptation. If he were more
thrifty than scrupulous, the chances are
he would quickly amass a fortune. The
South Dakota records show that divorce
candidates are usually willing to pay a
good price for freedom.
Yearn for fielder Jones.
The stay-at-homes were glad Portland
showered the visitors from the Chicago
Association of Commerce with so many
of her roses, but they would have thrown
up their hats and howled for Joy if the
trade extenslonists had kidnaped one
Fielder Jones and brought him back to
the White Box. meantime rtfling his
pockets so that he couldn't go home
again. There was a feeling of Jealous
envy when word came that the former
baseball master was to don a uniform
"wnd play for charity in the Oregon town.
Tha White Sox are much in need of some
first aid to the Injured. Dr. Jones would
be about the right person to lend a hand
In the hour of distress, according to the
solemn judgment of the bleacher kid, who
usually knows what ho is talking about.
There is still a lingering hope that
- Johnny Kllng will come back to make
the Cubs get up on- their hind legs and
perform better, but no such hope lives
for the return of Fielder Jones. His
successor, "Billy" Sullivan, is working
heroically to maintain the glory of the
Sox. but he is handicapped by the atten
tion he has to give to his backstop work.
The morale that was In evidence when
Jones was at the helm is somewhat lack
ing. He was one of those field generals
who inspire the rank and file with their
own enthusiasm, optimism and person
ality. Prosperity Has Come.
General Prosperity is not bothering
himself to wait for the tariff bill to be
dressed up for the big business party.
He Is In the midst of the guests and the
festivities are almost. If not quite. In full
swing. Bank clearings in Chicago and
these are the barometer for the Middle
West are running fully $70,000,000 a
month in excess of those of a year ago.
An even more marked sign of better
things lies in the building activity here.
l.ast year, when a new record was estab
lished, permits were taken out for build
ings to cost $63,0(10.000. During May of
mat year the total of permits was $6,049.
RSO. In the same month this year the
total was J12.609.4S0. or more than 100 per
cent increase. This sum includes $4,500,000
for the new City Hall, but without that
Item the total still is remarkable. As .a
proof of a substantial building spirit it
is safer to take the number of permits
than the amount Involved. Here again
the figures favor the year over all others.
Chicago has not had a "boom" since
World s Fair year, 16 years ago. It is not
having one now.

solicitor for an insurance company, sank
out of sight weeks ago. Presumably he
is held for ransom, possibly murdered
because Mrs. Porter did not find a way
to yield to extortion. Did Mrs. Cleminson
slay herself with poison In bed beside
her husband. Dr. Cleminson. or is her
death to be charged up to' him? Is either

ling and shocking nature, a statement has
been published in the Record-Herald from
the most reputable source that in twenty-three
months 600 pupils have been
treated In one hospital for disorders
traceable to Immorality. The ugly' face
of the assertion is softened somewhat by
the explanation that insanitary conditions
surrounding the schools and heredity are
responsible for- most of the infection. It
is not a story to dwell on save in profes
sional Cloisters, but the attack on the
schools does not stop here.
Otto C. Schneider, president of the
board of education, fires the heavy artil
lery in his annual report. He deplores
that the school curriculum is chaotic;
that sickly sentimentality has .crept In
where practical common sense should pre
vail; that teachers have become "con
struction mad;" that the whole school
organization Is radically wrong and ad
ministration lax; that the board Is cum
bersome and Ineffective: that ridiculous
sites for school buildings have been
chosen and paid for; that the "three R's"
have been shamefully neglected for fads
and foibles of theorists. From scores of
business men come 'complaints that the
schools do not teach, the pupils ithe
ordinary accomplishment of properly con
structing or punctuating a sentence or of
correctly spelling words In every day use.
There is too much Latin and not enough
English,' too much algebra and not
enough simple arithmetic; too many soci
eties, too much snobbishness and class
distinction and not enough democracy;
too much coddling and not enough spank
ing; too much veneer and polish and not
enough substantial wood. With the school
authorities and the public in the present
mood, it looks like a safe guess there
will be getting back nearer to the old
fashioned days of spelling matches and
corrective rods.
Daylight Saving Plan Dies.
Paragraphers have been having all sorts
of fun with Chicago's weather. '"What so
rare as a June day in June" Is the way
it has been made to read. Light over
coats were in order right up to the middle
of the month and at night the same cov
ering that served last January has been
used. The more daring souls came along
on calender time with straw hats, but
the dingy old derby is distinguished for
longevity.
It has been so unseasonably cool and
rainy that the movement to set clocks
forward an hour or two hours In the
summer months died of exposure. The
plan, seriously fathered in the city hall
and indorsed by many citizens, was to
make what is now five o'clock either six
or seven o'clock, so that workers would
rise earlier and get more of the morning
sunshine' and less of the afternoon heat
There would be more time for golf, ten

Cool Drinks to Soothe Savage
Thirst in the Summer Time
Season for Lemonade, Fruit Punch, Claret Cup, Sauterne Cup and Ginger
Beer Has Arrived.
BT LILIAN TINGLE.
PORTLAND. July 15, 1909. I was so glad
to see your recipe for raspberry vinegar in
last Sunday's Oregonian. Will you not so
a step further and give some suggestions
for other cool drinks, fruit punch, "claret
cup" and tho like?
Of course, lemonade Is always 'good, but
one likes to serve something different some
times. Do you think I could make English
"stone ginger beer" at home? An aunt of
mine used to make it when we were chil
dren, but I don't know how.
MRS. Wl B.
LEMONADE, as you say, is always
good if well made and is really the
best foundation for a large number of
drinks with fancy names. It is a good
plan to keep on hand a supply of lemon
syqup, made by boiling sugar and water
together in the proportion of one-half cup
water to every cup of sugar, and mixing
this with strained lemon Juice. Cut thin
slices of washed lemon rind so thin that
they are yellow on both sides and cook
them in the syrup for additional flavor.
Orange and lemon peel "extract." made
by cooking the thin-cut or grated yellow
rinds in a little water, always adds in
terest to a fruit punch or lemonade.
Where wine or liqueurs are not used
in fruit punch, a little black tea say
two-thirds cup rather strong tea to a
quart of punch, will improve both the
flavor and refreshing properties of the
drink. The tea, however, should be
carefully made, and must not stand on
the leaves more than five minutes. Use
one full teaspoon tea to every cup of
water. For tea punch proper a larger
proportion of tea sbjould be used; but in
the quantity here suggested the flavor
simply blends in with the fruit, and. is
usually liked even by those who do not
care for tea as a general rule. In com
posing fruit drinks, don't forget the
value of the "extra touch" the sprig of
mint, or borage, or balm;' the slice of
cucumber In claret cup: the floating
strawberry, banana, or orange-slice, and
the Maraschino, cherry. A suspicion of
spice is good occasionally. This may be
obtained by Infusing a bit of stick cinna
mon, a clove or two or a bit of mace or

Farmer's Daughter Who Married
Count Appeals to Court.
VIENNA, June 19. (Special.) The ro
mantic marriage of a peasant girl to a
rich nobleman is recalled by a case which
the court at Trenesen, in Upper Hun
gary, will shortly have before it. when
Count John Fingraz will be tried on a
charge of cutting and wounding his
mother. The countess has demanded an
inquiry. It is Uieged that the Count
struck his mother several times with a
whip, and that she was driven from the
castle by her servants. In lodging her
complaint against her son, the old Coun
tess told the story of her life. She was,
she said, only a poor peasant girl when
Count Edward Pingraz met her. She be
came his mistress, and after two children
were born he married her and treated
her with every tenderness until his
death. A singular fact, however, has to
be recorded. He would not allow his
wife to learn to read and write. The
Countess told how last year her daughter
fled from the castle in order to marry a
farmer. She declares that her daughter
had also been Ill-treated by Count John.

KILLS MOTHER IN SLEEP
Farmer Dreams of Murder and
Wakes to Find It Reality.
VIENNA. June 19. (Special.) A ter
rible occurrence Is reported from Kra
guvejac. In Servia. A young, well-to-do
farmer, named Milan Subovic, gave him
self up to the police yesterday, and with
bitter sobs confessed that he had mur
dered his aged mother, to whom he was
deeply attached, in his sleep.
According to the story told by Subovic.
he dreamed that his mother was being
greatly annoyed by a disreputable wo
man, and that he went to her assistance
and slew the woman with a hatchet.
When he awoke in the morning he re
called the dream, and went to his
mother's bedroom to tell her about It.
To his horror, he found her dead in bed,
and a blood-bespattered hatchet lying
beside her. Then he noticed that his
own hands and shirt were stained with
blood, and the horrible truth was borne in
upon him that he had killed his mother
while he was dreaming.
As it was ascertained that the relations
between the mother and son were always
extremely affectionate, and as the doc
tors could not deny the possibility of the
deed, as told by Subovic. the Public Pros
ecutor set the matricide free.
