Her Husband Objected Violently.
RICHMOND HILL, L. l., Nov. s.-For the al
legged use OF too much force in endeavoring to
induce his vito to cease whistling Liberty
Bell Frank Danstadt, q New York lawyer.
now living in Richmond Hill, was in Justice
Ash's court this morning. d.
Mr.. Damstadt said that his wife whistled CON-
tinuously for four days and nights. when she
was not sleeping, simply to annoy him, and bis
nervous system was shattered. From carly
morning until late at night, even while she was
eating. she kept it up. The first thing that sa-
luted his ears. before the alarm clock could
perform its duty. and the last thing he heard
when, he retired was the same old Liberty
Bell"
Mrs. Damstadt, who is young and pretty. APP
peared before Judge Ash last week and made a
complaint of assault against her husband. Mrs.
DRmstadts hair is brown and her eyes dark.
An additional duskiness had been given to tho
left eye by a bruise directly beneath it. She
avcrrcd also that her husband had struck her
Violently in the LEFT side.
The defendant this morning protested that he
had simply grasped her by the wrists and led
her from the room after she had tortured him
all through breakfast with Liberty Bell"
Judge Ash reserved his decision. He wishes to
hear Liberty Boil" whistled before he can
judge Of Damstadt's provocation.

STATE


Jefferson Davis. the President Of the Southern
Confederacy, was. l Ike Abraham Lincoln, a Ken
tuckian by birth. Mr.. Davis was born in Chris
tian county, Kentucky. Mr.. Lincoln was born
in Larue county. The date OF Jefferson Davis's
birth was June 3. 1908. and in the State Of
Fiorida-Florida is the only State to observe it
birthday OF Jefferson Davis is
celebrated as a legal holiday. A proposition to
extend its Observance to the State Of Georgia Is
now pending and in advocacy ofthe project it has
been urged that Georgia is one OF tho five South
ern States which celebrate as n legal holiday the
anniversary OF the birth of Robert f. Lee. Jan. 10.
and, as the Empire State OF the South. Georgia
could with propriety celebrate the birthday Of
the civilian head OF the lost cause as well as
that OF the military commander of the Southern
forces. The other States OF the South which
celebrate Gen. Lees birthday are Virginia. Of
which State he was n native; North and South
Carolina. and Florida. The bill offered In tho
Georgia Legislature to make the birthday OF
Jefferson Davis q legal holiday was reported
adversely by the Judiciary Committee. hnt the
House of Representatives has by a unanimous
vote rejected the report. and it is thought
probable that the views of those who de-
sire to see thi, day commemorate officially
in the Cracker State will prevail and that
Georgia will be added to Florida AS one of tho
sissippi, OF which jefferson Davis was 80 long Il
resident, which he represented in Washington.
IN House anu senate, almost conScri!tlvely for
sixteen years and of which he was a resident
until HIS death. has taken no action OF this
kind. Tho explanation OF the matter il to DO
found. perhaps. in the fact that Mississippi is
one OF the southern States which recognize few
legal holidays.
As a general rule. those Southern States
which have a considerable Spanish.speaking or
Creole population, or. which have. as is the case
in Florida. the traditions OF Spanish settlement
or occupancy. are the ones in which holidays
are most common, whereas those States which.
like Mississippi and Alabama, are of Eng
vances very generally. Louisiana is the first
among the States in the number of holidays
celebrated. Florida and California follow close
behind, and it seems almost as If the Partially
for holidays in Louisiana exceeded reason
able roquiremeptS: For instance. there
as Confederate Memorial Day, following
Nardi Gras, and in November Louisiana
has four legal holidays exclusive of Sundays
All s4ints'Day. election day. Labor Day, and
Thanksgiving Day. In Texas the anniversary
Of the battle OF ) N Jacinto Is celebrated as a
legal holiday, and in North. Carolina the ami
yersary of the signing Of the. Meeklcnburg
declaration. But tho birthday of Thomas JET.
fcrson is celebrated in no. State; neither is the
birthday OF Andrew Jackson, and Mississippi
docs not observe as n legal holiday the birthday
Of George Washington.
