Name Address FORGIVES (HASTENED WIFE Husband Says He Merely Follows Christ's Example Allentown. Pa., March 25.—John H. Green, a trainman on the Reading Railway, nppeared before Alderman Bower yesterday and withdrew a charge of larceny lie had' preferred against his wife, a handsome of 28, who about six weeks ago eloped with John Smith or John Vandenberg, of Philadelphia. . Green was very angry \t the time, because they broke open his trunk and took his savings of $157 and locked alone in the house his aged paralytic mother, who nearly died of exposure by the time he returned from his run. Green said that his reason for with (hawing the warrant was because his wife had returned very penitent, and iie had determined to give her another chance rather than set her adrift in the world. She had her full share of bit terness for her escapade, her compan ion deserting her and enlisting in the army as soon as the money was gone, and she was suffering for want of lood and clothing when she came back. '•I may be thought foolish by some,'' said Green, "but Christ for gave Mary Magdalen, and 1 guess 1 won't go wrong following His ex ample.

BONDHOLDERSAFTER CANAL Want Award of Interest on Coupons Paid by the Pennsylvania Ball road Set Aside Philadelphia, March 25.—The pro tracted litigation arising from the in terpretation of the terms of a mort gage executed by the Pennsylvania Ca nal Company in 187 Oy to secure an au thorized bond issue of 15,000,000, again came up before the Supreme Court yesterday from a decision of Common Pleas Court No. 5. Samuel Rea, president of the Penn sylvania Railroad, the trustee of thf mortgage, asked the Court in 1911 to foreclose the mortgage for non-pay ment of the bonds and interest. Bond holders intervened and challenged the allegations made by the trustee that the fund 1 realized by the sale of the mortgaged property should be used for the payment of coupons owned by the railroad company, which were mora than sufficient to absorb the entire fund. Judge Balaton decided that thi bondholders were first entitled to be paid, but the Supreme Court reversed this and an amended decree was there upon entered by the lower Court award ing priority not only to the coupons, but also to interest upon each coupon frm its due date until the date of pay ment. Thomas R. White, who appeared for the protesting bondholders, argued that there is no authority in the lan guage of the mortgage to treat inter est on the coupons as a prior claim, and that the terms of the mortgage do not justify it. He contended that pri ority was given to the holders of the coupons for their face value only. While it is estimated that the in terest would be probably in excess of $2,000,000, as a matter of fact the sale of the premises will not equal the face value of the coupons. The im portance of the question involved, how ever, arises from a dispute as to the validity, of certain transfers of the ca nal property covered by the lien of the mortgage, which is now being liti gated in the United States Court. John (j. Johnson appeared for the railroad and the canal company. Decision was reserved. Y. M. C. A.
