WIFE BEATING CONDONED.
A ST. Louis Judge Says the Practice Is Not
Always Bad.

A ST, Louis Judge Says the Practice Is Not
Always Bad.
A decision was rendered by Judge
Peabody in the ST. Louis city police
court Wednesday that under certain
conditions a husband has the right to
beat his wife. The case was one Be
nard Kretzer, charged with beating
his wife because she would not agree
with him in the management of their
children. Judge Peabody said in pass
ing judgment:
Gin this case the wife was more
guilty than the husband for trying to
contradict and thwart her husbands
will in the presence Of the children
and setting them bad example which
he had right to rebuke. There are
times when wife irritates her hus-
band to such an extent that he cannot
control himself and uses his hand or
fist. AS long as no serious harm is
done, don't believe in punishment. !"

TENNESSEE JUDGES SKIP OUT.


They Will Test Action of Assembly In
Oustlng Them.
Some strange developments seem to
be following the action of the Tennes-
see general assembly on the judicial
redistricting bill.
Judge 7. A. r. Nelson, of the Knox
county criminal court, and District
Attorney Fred Mynatt have, it is
stated, left the state in order to avoid
service of notice that their offices are
to be vacated.
1t is said that a number of other
judges affected by the bill have taken
the same course, and are where the
sergeant-at-arms cannot reach Thorn.
Where this will leave the legislature
is problematical.

A dispatch Of Wednesday from Ha-

ban military assembly announced
Tuesday night, does not cause any
particular comment upon Cubans or
Americans here, such a step having
been discounted two weeks ago.
The American military authorities,
while pleased that an obstacle to the
disposal Of the Cuban army has been
removed, had been preparing 20 dis
tribute the SO, 100000 with the aid Of
the assembly's roll, by causing TO be
drawn mp duplicate rolls.
In this work the provisional COVER
nors were cooperating with the Gu
ban commanders in their provinces.
In addition, the assembly's rolls are
being verified and corrected by indie
pendent inquiries, a task that may last
another month. In spite Of this, the
distribution Of money to the Cuban
soldiers will possibly begin in the
vicinity of Havana within a fortnight.
The general rules controlling the
distribution are to exclude all men
who have enlisted since July II, 1898,
and to exclude former soldiers now
