Many a Tale of Marital Woe Re
counted in Divorce Court
Today
Nearly fifty separate and distinct
tales of marital woes were listed for
an airing to-day before President
Judge Kunkel and Judge Henry Leb
anon, at the February session of di
vorce court.
Among the tales told in Judge Hun
kers court was that of Mary S. against
Benjamin F. Davis, Jr. Two weeks
after they were married Mrs. Davis
said her husband went out to get her
tome medicine —and never came back.
Another tale that was told Judge
Kunkel was that of Pauline and
Ralph E. Brook. Mrs. Brook wanted
the knot untied. They lived at the
foot of Mont Alto, she said. Brook
frequently liked to tease hor until she
got angry—and then he'd lick her
with his belt and razor strap, she said.
Two years was as long ns she could
Btand for that sort of thing.
Over in Judge Henry's court the
tale of the marital agreement between
Mary and Ignatus Mahoric was re
counted. When they married Mary
agreed to help out in defraying the
family expenses by "taking in wash
ing." Ignatius however eventually
welched on his part of the contract.
He didn't even care for the youngs
ters and in fact, the tearful wife
said, he only saw his five-day-old baby
once.
Elmer G. Spatz, it appeared from
his wife's tale suddenly departed from
this neighborhood when her father
talked of mysteriously missing $36.
Besides that he drank, gave her no
money and treated her in anything
but a loving manner.
PRESIDENT DODGES
SUFFRAGE SUPPORT
EOontinued from FU-st I'nge]
working women It is either the sana
torium for tuberculosis or the streets."
Mrs. Evans referred, in closing, to
the fact that she had visited Mr. Wil
son at Sea Girt when he was a candi
date for President and claimed to have
gotten some encouragement for the
cause of suffrage.
"Why, we worked our finger nails
off to get you elected." said Mrs.
Evans. "I though from what you said
that you were in favor of our cause.
You were gunning for votes then."
"I was much freer to express my
opinion then than I am now," said
the President. Some of the women
refused to shake hands with him.
"There are 300 working women out-
Bide awaiting your answer," said Mrs.
Evans.
"I want to say just this,'" returned
the President, "I need not tell you
that what you have said makes a pro
found Impression upon me, but I have
already explained my limitations. Un
til a party as such, lias taken a posi
tion on a question. I am not at liberty
to speak for it. lam limited in ex
pressing my opinion no matter .what
tny individual thoughts may be. I
have no doubt that your visit will
make a profound impression."
The President himself hastened the
handshaking ceremony, thereby end
ing the discussion, though Mrs. Evans
remarked that only ten minutes of
the allotted fifteen had been used up.
The President began shaking hands,
however, cutting off further discus
sion.

Letters to the Editor
HUNTING OF BIRDS
Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 2, 1914,
Dear Sir: Some days ago an article
was published In one of the Harris
bur* papers, the Patriot, and signed
"A Hunter," complaining about the
law that imposes a penalty upon the
people of the State who inlght de
stroy certain birds that he, the hunter,
considered Injurious. If this gentle
man had signed his name so that peo
ple might know him I might be able
to write you to a certainty regarding
his conclusions. I might be able to
say that in my opinion this man had
never spent one hour of his time in the
investigation of the subject upon
which he writes. X might say that he
had not examined the contents of tfie
stomach of one of the birds that he
desires to kill, and I might have point
ed out other reasons why this hunter
writes as he does, but I must take con
ditions as they are.
Almost every State in this Union
has an officer known as a zoologist.
| We have in Washington an organiza
tion known as the Biological Survey,
who have scientists devoting their
time, day in and day out, year in and
year out, to the consideration of sub
jects that mean beneflt or injury to
the nation. It is their duty to Inves
tigate, and these officers from the
various States agree with the officers
In Washington, that through their In
vestigations made they are in position
to prove beyond question that the
great majority of hawks and the great
majority of owls found in Pennsylva
nia are far more beneficial than harm
ful. These men are not making such
statements except after the surest and
most complete investigation that could
possibly be made. They have not gone
into the lleld and reported that certain
hawks were killing this or that kind
of game because they saw a hawk sit
ting on a tree, but they are making
their reports after a careful examina
tion in field work and laboratory work,
in which the contents of the stomachs
of hundreds of each of the species of
birds under consideration have been
examined, and also the droppings of
theso birds have been carefully inves
tigated and examined.
There are some people In this State
who seem to Ihlnk they have an in
herent right to destroy anything they
may choose, and they are disposed to
justify their action by the declaration
that the bird killed was destroying
their property or was Injurious In some
way. When ?t comes down to proof,
they are absolutely without evidence.
Upon the contrary, the evidence Is
overwhelmingly In the other direction.
This morning one of our officers ar
rested and had convicted before an
alderman of this city a farmer who
had clubbed a poor, little screech owl
In his barn, had broken Its wing,
brought It in to Harrisburg, and sold
it for a quarter, his action apparently
indicating that he was after the quar
ter rather than anything else, but
when approached upon the subject he
declared he lias a right to protect him
self, that this bird was destroying his
young pigeons. It might be that an
owl of this character and size, a little
bird not over seven inches In height,
and weighting less than half what a
pigeon would weigh, might destroy a
pigeon, but investigation made by or
nithologists in all directions show that
these birds are not disposed to harm
either domestic fowls or birds of any
size.
The owl apparently bolts its food;
that is, swallows whatever may come
before it, whole, where that is possi
ble. feathers, bones, and all. After
a while the feathers and the bones,
through some natural provision, are
ejected through the mouth of the
bird, they fall to the ground, many
thousands of these bolls having been
collected in various sections. Through
the tearing apart of these bolls the
examiner is able to say exactly what
the bird has been eating, and the unit
ed statement of the scientists regard
ing this question is that the great ma
jority of our hawks and the great
majority of our owls, and especially
the screech owl, do far more good
through the destruction of rodents
and insects than they do harm in any
way.
I am going to cite but a single Illus
tration from the Biological Survey at
Washington, where 255 stomachs
taken from screech owls were ex
amined, the report showing that 1
had eaten a part of a pigeon; 91 had
eaten mice; 11 had eaten other small
mammals; 3 8 contained the remains
of small birds, principally English
sparrows; 100 contained insects alone;
and some few were empty. The ex
amination of tens of thousands of
bolls dropped by the screech owl in
various sections of the United States
tell the same story, so that after a
careful investigation of these questions
the Legislature of this State mado
the law as it is, concluding that more
credit should be given to the state
ments made by the man who had
given his time and attention to a con
sideration of these questions, rather
than to the statements of a man who
was either ashamed, or afraid, to sign
his own name to the article he might
publish.
We have twelve kinds of hawks in
Pennsylvania, 5 of which are consid
ered Injurious, the remainder being
beneficial. We have ten kinds of
owls in Pennsylvania, eight of which
are far more beneficial than destruc
tive, each one of these beneficial birds,
hawks or owls, doing a work that
can't be done by any other bird, for
the benefit of the people of this State,
yet this hunter thinks the law oppres
sive and unjust that will not permit
him to destroy as he pleases. He has
asked for the opinion of hunters re
garding this subject and I hope those
who may agree with him will give
their reasons for their position, tell
how many days they liavo spent in
following a hawk, how many stomachs
they have dissected, what the contents
of the stomachs were, if they know,
how many of the bolls ejected by
owls they have dissected, so that the
scictlst and theso gentlemen may
be brought together and this question
be finally settled.
Respectfully yours,
JOS. KALBFUS,
Says County Could Save
Money by Closing Jail
and Paying Alimony
By Associated Press
New York, Feb. 2.—Sheriff Max S.
Grifenhagen, in a report to the board
of estimate on the cost of maintaining

confined in the Jail refuse to pay, allow
them their liberty and close the build

LOCKE sirs INDIIUiS
WILLSOONHPPEIOI
Believes Redskins Should Be Al
lowed to Live as They
Did Years Ago
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Feb. 2. The
prediction that the full-blooded
American Indian will have disappear
ed in a half century was made here
to-day by Victor M. Locke, governor
of the Choctaw Nation, one of the" live
civilized tribes. He estimates thut
there are 100,000 fulibioods living to
day.
Governor Locke attributes the enor
mous death rate among the full
blooded Indians in the last few years
to pneumonia and other diseases of
the lungs. "It is not strange, how
ever, when one thinks about it," he
said. "Half-breeds and quarter-breeds
are perhaps naturally not so hardy a
Mice ns the full-blood, but the latter
are not adapted to the new manner
of living which the government hus
prescribed for them. The mixed
bloods can.
"In recent years, instead of raising
his own meats, vegetables, and bread,
as he did fifty years ago, the Indian
has been obliged to eat the food pur
chased from stores by the government.
Though this food Is good, it seems to
, be impossible for the full-blood In
! dian to thrive on it. It is against his
I nature. Give the old Indian the op
i portunity to rovo the plains again, let
i him hunt for his food and he will con
tinue to live for many years."

ON IMIGRITI
Lecturer in Japan University Dis
cusses Question With
Executive
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.—Presi
dent Wilson regards !t as universally
agreed that there should be some re
strictions to prevent what is known as
"assisted immigration." He has not
yet announced his position on the lit
eracy test feature of pending immi
gration bills and indicated to-day that
he would not do so until consulted by
leaders in Congress. There is said to
be some ground for the belief that Vie
may suggest certain modifications in
the literacy test as now proposed.
Secretary Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Labor, informed Congress to
day that ho was not opposed to the
principle of the literacy test. He
recommended making the immigra
tion bill more drastic in several par
ticulars, especially in regard to "white
slavery," and that skilled laborers im
ported under contracts, as well as
unskilled laborers, would be barred.
Provision to bar aliens who have com
mitted a crime or misdemeanor in
volving moral turpetude, whether con
victed or not, and to deport aliens
committing crimes in this country also
was asked.
Lecturer in Conference
The Rev. Sydney L. Gulick, lecturer
at the Imperial University of Japan,
discussed immigration to-day with the
President.
Under arrangements made by the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, which includes
thirty Protestant denominations, the
Rev. Mr. Gulick has been visiting lead
ing cities, suggesting a new immi
gration policy. He suggested to the
President his plans to treat all na
tions on a basis of equality, "re
nouncing all invidious legislation and
differential treatment," by allowing
only a maximum annual Immigration
of nationalities by a fixed percentage
of those already here and naturalized.
OPEN KIDS FOR COLLIERS

ships and other naval craft at sea.
DEATH ACCIDENTAL
Accidental death is given as tho re
sult of the coroner's probe into the
death of 3-week-old Margaret Ethel

POLICE EVERYWHERE
Canadian Cities Taking Up Idea
and Duke of Connaaght
Approves Them
Canada ia becoming interested in po
licewomen. Alice Stebblns Wells, po
licewoman No. 1 of IVOR Angeles, who
has Just returned from a trip across
the border, explained the growth of
tho movement and the good which it
is believed policewomen can do to the
Duke of Connaught, governor-general
of the Dominion. The latter declared
his lirm belief that every city would
be benefited by having plain clothes
women as well RS plain clothes men.
Toronto was the lirst Canadian city
to appoint women to the pollco l'orce
with full power. It now has two such
officials. Ottawa has recently given
police power to two women. At pres
ent their salaries are paid by a private
organization, but it is expected that
their names will appear on the city
payroll soon. Peterborough), Montreal,
St. John and Halifax are actively in
terested in the movement.
In tho United States the number of
cities and towns which have placed
women on the police force with full or
partial power is increasing so rapidly
that It is no longer possible to keep
count. Chicago, of course, is the re
cent shining example. Within the past
two months San Francisco has
changed its charter so as to admit
women to the force without meeting
the physical requirements which apply
to men. Three women have already
been appointed. Fargo and Grand
Forks, N. D.; Topeka, Kan.; Ottawa,
111., and Kansas City are other places
which have recently entrusted police
power to women.
To what extent the movement has
been favored in Europpo is not a mat
ter of record. It is said there are
policewomen in Sweden. Mrs. Wells
has received Inquiries into the nature
of policewomen's work here from Aus
tria, England and other countries. —

nance.
Problem Not Discussed
City plannning, the tree trimming
commission, the Hardscrabble prob
lem and several other matters were to
have been discussed at the meeting,
but the consideration of the mercan
tile ordinance occupied several hours
and the other questions were not
reached.
Commissioner of Parks and Public
Property M. Harvey Taylor said to
day that he didn't believe the appoint
ments for the City Planning Commis
sion would be submitted to Council to
morrow, although he wasn't certain.
Tho Park Board members are to be
the city planneTs, it is said.^
The report was general in municipal
circles to-duy that V. Grant Forrer
might be succeeded as park superin
tendent by J. Raymond Hoffert, now
assistant superintendent. Mr. Hoffert
has also been spoken of as engineer
for the planning commission. Mr.
Taylor has said that he hasn't de
cided upon the question of superin
tendent, but that if any action is
taken it will not be before April 1.

I Father Sam a in Steelton, October 11,
1911. The bride left her husband at
tho altar und Fure to-day asked for n
divorce.
Attorney Houseman showed that by
tho cpurt records of New York State
the Fures had been wed, but because
they are Catholics they decided to
have the knot tied under the rules of
the church by a priest. Then the
bride decided she didn't want Mich

why a divorce should be asked for, as
they couldn't have been married un
less both agreed—and that notwith
standing they had the legal permis
sion, they didn't believe they were
man and wife unless the church sanc
tioned it.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid, which almost paralyzes tho
kidneys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish ami
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in tho back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. Tho
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore ana irrltuted,
obliging you to seek relict two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush oft
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass! of water before, breakfast for a
few days, and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithla, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure. and makes a delightful effer
vescent lithla-water drink. —Adv.
