patrick, who is u large importer of glassware at
30i Hudson street, has brought suit against
him for separation and maintenance on tho
grounds Of cruelty and neglect. Both husband

Mrs. Fitzpatrick alleges that her husband
habitually treats her with cruelty and calls her
by opprobrious names and reflects on her verac-
iy in the presence of their children. For the
past eight or nine years, she AYERS, he has made
il a practice to lock himself In his room, away
from her, after dinner. 1t is alleged that once
he threatened to strike her on the street.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick makes n general denial. and
asserts that his wife is of n jealous disposition.
and has accused him of indelicatc attentions to
servants. Mr.. Fitzpatrick is a member OF the
Catholic Club and of :he METROPOLITAN Museum
Of Art. Husband and wife are past 90 years OF
age. and have been married for more thsn
thirty-tive wears. They are still living under one
roof. at 1871 East SiXty-ninth street. but Mrs.
Fitzpatrick desires separate maintenance. and
to that end asks that the court pass judgment
on her charges OF cruelty.

EMPLOYEES HAVE NO CASE.
State Board of Arbitration so Decides n
the Moline Dispute.

Springfield. Ills, Dec. 15.-The state
board of arbitration rendered a decis-
ion i'm the matter of the joint appli-
cation of the Deere & Mansur company
of Moline. Ills, and certain of their en-
ployes. The Deere & Mansur company
is engaged i'm manufacturing agricultur-
al implements. The employees in the
painting department, about thirty in
number, demanded an increase OF
wages. The company refused to grant
the advance. and without suspending
operations both sides joined in a petit
tion for arbitration.
In its decision the arbitration board
says the only reason set forth for the
demand for increased wages was the al
legged fact that higher wages were he
ing paid for the same kind of work by
competing companies. The board finds
that the employees were misinformed
as to the wages paid by other compa-
nies. The day wages paid by the Deere
& Mansur company are higher than the
wages paid by most of its competitors
while the prices FOR piece work average
quite as much as the prices paid by
the other companies The board finds
therefore that the demanded increase
Of wages is without sufficient justifica
ton.

tence being subsequently commuted
