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. "

REBUKED BOY ENDS LIFE
Ends Carbolic Acid Chapter to Lure of
Pool Rooms
Kane, March 25.—Becuse his father
criticised him for spending his time in
a pool room, Flora Lucia, aged 17, of
Warren, committed suicide Tuesday
night by drinking carbolic acid. He
left « note which read: "My father
made me drink this poison."
The boy's father went to tho Saul
pool room Tuesday night and when he
discovered his son there he rebuked
him. The .boy immediately left the pool
room and went to the Keig drug store,
where he purchased an ounce vial of
carbolic acid. He then went to his
home and drank the acid, after which
he begged of his little 4-year-old sister
to get him some water to save his life.
MULE LOST HIS CASE
Owner Pleaded Self-Defense to Charge
of Beating
Langhorne, Pa., March 2<s.—Christo
pher Hargrave, a farmer of near
Kmilie, in Bucks county, was charged
with cruelty to animals, that he had
beaten a mule with un ax handle.
, Arraigned before Magistrate Tom
liuson, Margraves pleaded self-defemse
and won his case. He not only won it
—the prosecutor actually withdrew
the charge against him, and no costs
were assessed.
"It was either mo or the mule,"
pleaded Hurgraves, "and I decided it
fliould be the mule. I wanted to see
my family again."
HAWAII WOMEN WANT VOTE
Legislature Asked to Request the Fran
chise of Congress
'Honolulu, March 2">.—Congros* will
be asked to extend the franchise to
the women of Hawaii, if a resolution
introduced in the Territorial legisla
ture yesterday carries.
A movement has been begun to elim
inate the Japanese "picture-bride"
»ystern by statute. Japanese educa
tors, 'business men, editors and minis
ters are sponsoring tho movement, and
are advocating that, only Hawaiian
born Japanese girls be taken as brides.
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.

Nosqudhoning, Pa., March 25. —The
Nesquehoning shaft of t'he ljehigh Coal
