RIGHTS OF HUSBANDS.
Judge Peabody, of St. Louis, Defends
uF His Ruling on Wife Beating

ST. LOUIS, April Judge Thomas H.
Peabody, of the first district police court,
who discharged Bernard Kretzer, charged
with wife-beating, on the ground that
there are times when a husband who
sIaps his wife, but does not actually in
jure her, should not be punished, had This
to say today in defense of his decision:
when l ruled that KretZer was not
guilty for beating his wife did not want
to be set down as a wife-beater, but there
are cases when men are driven to emo
tional insanity, and what they do then
they are not always accountable for. If
KretZer had harmed her or done any
bodily injury it would have been different.
In the case I had before me she was
more guilty than he for trying to counter
act and thwart her husbands will in the
presence of their children. 1t was set
ting a bad example which he had the
right to rebuke.
when woman takes man for her
husband she does so knowing full we'll
that he is to be the ruler of the house, and
shall have as much to say as she. When
ever there is a dispute between them and
the husbands desire is a good one it
should certainly be acceded to. If he
is then provoked to undue anger l think
he would be partly justified In striking
her. whole lot depends upon the wom-
an. There are women and there are
otnerS. II is my misfortune to have to
deal with a few of the Others AS a
rule they are disagreeable women, with
whom 1t would be impossible to get along
without giving them an occasional 'dres-

Mp. HADFIRST CHOICE
DECISION IN THE CASE INVOLVING
LANDS IN CARLTON
COUNTY
ROAD CLAIMED THEM


Judges Otis and Bunn, Decide That
the Interests represented by
Receivers McHcnry and BigeIow
Hads Firmly Secured the Neces-
sary Title before the Duluth
Company Had Definitely Located.
Judges Otis and Bum in district court,
yesterday filed a decision in favor eff
the plaintiffs In the case of Edwin II.
McHenry and Frank C. Bigelow as re-
ceivers of the Northern Pacific Railway
company against the st. Paul 4 Duluth
Railway company. The decision which
is accompanied by two memorandum
and involves several fine points of law
has the result of quieting title to certain
lands in Carlton county claimed by both
roads.
On May 5, 1864, congress authorized the
legislature to grant five sections of land
for every mile of road in the construc-
ton of a line from st. Paul to the head
of the lakes with Indemnity land to be
taken within ten miles either side OF the
right of way. On July 2. 1864, congress
passed the Northern Pacific land grant
bill, which gave the road ten sections
per mile in all of the states through
which the road should pass with the in
demnity-, lard to be taken within ten
miles of either side of the right Of way.
In 1865 the legislature granted fran
chise to the Lake Superior and Missouri
Railway company to construct a line
under the act of May s. 1864 It was
afterwards found in 1866 that portion
of the road ran close to the state boun-
dairy that there was no chance for the
selection of the indemnity land one
side of the road bed Accordingly the
act of May 5, 1864, was amended to give
the road the right to select indemnity
lands thirty miles west of the line. This
in Carlton county confiicted with the
Northern Pacific grant and the Northern
Pacific brought suit to quiet the title
against the ST. Paul & Duluth road as
the successor of the Lake Superior &
Mississippi! road.
Both judges hold with the Northern
Pacific for the reason as expressed in
the memorandum that under the terms
of the Northern Pacific act the title to
lands afterwards definitely located be-
came vested in the company from the
time of the passage of the act and that
the act under which the st. Paul & Du-
lutn claimed title did not vest the title
until definitely located.

MOTHER GETS HER CHILD.
Judge Bazflle Decides Mrs. TOucey
Is Entitled to Little Leo.

Leo Blanche, the year-old baby whose
parentage and custody have been in dis
pute In the probate court, was, yesterday,
turned over to Mrs. Toucey, the mother,
after an extended hearing before Judge
BaZille. Rev. E. T. Savage of the Chill
Gren's home, was removed as guardian.
The small object of dispute was not in
court, but Mrs. Ezra Toucey, who claims
ed to have been the mother, while Miss
May Whitcomb, Miss Nellie Gordon, her
cousin, DR.. Dohm, Mr.. Toucey and Attor-
ney L. j. MeDermott, were all on hand to
look after the interests of Mrs. Toucey
The rival claimant Mrs. Mary Simmons,
of 437 East Seventh street, was repre-
sented by Rev. E. p. Savage, Lieut. Po-
Mangan.
DR.. Dohm testified that he had been
called to the Glenwood hotel TO attend
the child six days after it's birth. He.
had seen Mrs. Toucey and was positive
that she was the mother. Miss Gordon
said the birth had taken place in her
room on Feb. TO- 1895, and she had seen
Leo Blanche when only three hours old
Finally Mrs Toucey herself was called
to the stand. She said that after the lit
tie one was born she had observed that
1t had better be taken to an asylum or a
home, as she was unable to care for it.
Mrs. Simmons, the neighbor who now
wants 10 ADOPT the child, had objected
and offered to care for 1t herself. She
was permitted to take the baby and kept
1t six months, during which time the
mother had paid So per week as board.
When she took little Leo from Mrs. Sim
mons there was ST due which she paid
at the time.
1t is my child and 1 want it," said Mrs
Toucey.
Attorney Mangan, who had been cross
njoO ho xx,ftr
that he knew nothing of the Minneapolis
woman who claimed to be the mother
but he was prepared to show that Mrs
Toucey had several times denied the par
entage of the child in the presence Of
Mrs. Simmons.
The court ruled out the hearsay testi-
mony and awarded the child to its moth
er, who wept with emotion, and Mrs.
simmons also burst into tears when the
decision was announced

SEEDIyGlS BACKWARD
MORE THAN HALF
DONE
NOT EVEN A START MADE YET
An Authority on the Situation Tells
of Existing Conditions and What
Might Possibly He the Results of
the Snow I'm the Southern POr-
tons and the Frost in the North
ern Portions of the Northwest.

Considerable interest is being mani
prospective conditions in the Northwest,
for spring seeding of grain.
At this period, one year ago, the work
was more than half done in Nebraska
and Northern Iowa, and well started in
Southern Minnesota and South Dakota.
April 25, last spring. the seeding had
been finished even in the extreme north
ern sections. Speaking about the situa-
ton man in position to know what
he is talking about, says:
Conditions prevailing this spring have
prevented any start being made thus far.
Throughout the southern and central
portion of the spring wheat territory the
ground is still covered with snow, or in
ritory,- while there is almost an entire
absence of snow, the ground is frozen
deeply, and the weather has been cold
and backward. Present conditions indi-
cate that even under most favorable cir
cumstances from this time forward. seed
ing can not be completed before the 10th
to the 10Th of May, or from three to four
weeks later than last year.
AASN CAUSES more or less aDpr6-
henslon among farmers that the wheat
may be caught in the soft or dough
stage by the hot July winds, resulting In
a rusted and blighted crop. Late seed
ing also implies late harvest, and dam
ger from early frosts in the northern
country. These features of the situa-
ton will naturally tend to a reduced
acreage in wheal as compared win lasl
year, and all increased sowing of fax
and coarse grain 1t will also give the
spectators something to think and talk
about for a time at least.
Ordinarily the farmers of the south.
ern portion of the spring wheat belt are
enabled to commence spring work from
TWO to three weeks in advance of their
northern nelghbors, but owing to the
comparative absence of snow in the
northern section this year, it is not like
ly that such an advantage will he on
joyed.
"A weeks continuance of the nrasen+
moderate weather and thawing condi-
uohs would enable general start to
be made In wheat seeding in Minnesota
and the Dakotas"
