Had Trouble Before.

This is not the first time that Ford has had trouble with his wife. On a former oc- casion she left him and went with her mother to the old family home thirty miles beyond Atlanta. At that time the husband remonstrated and 8 sensational scene was enacted In the union passenger station.
 Those who know Ford say that his fam fly troubles can be directly placed to his unsuitable love for money. The first quar- rell between MT. and Mrs. Ford resulted, according to the wife's statement, from his failure to provide her with sufficient cloth ing. Chief Austin also states that Ford treated his wife very badly.
 With $12 as capital Ford started a small grocery store few years ago, and by ex treme economy and the assistance of his wife as clerk increased the stock until 1t is now worth probably $1000 While his wife worked in the store the husband sold vegetables from a wagon. It was found last week that another clerk was needed and Ford hired a negro to assist his wife. Mrs. Ford objected and another quarrel ensued. Finally the woman said she would leave if the negro was put to work The husband was equally as stubborn and Mrs. Ford left the home and went to the house of a friend, where yesterdays tragedy occurred.

Episcopal Church in Virginia, has re-
belli6n in his diocese. A church has detied
him, and asks what he 10 going to do
about it. The Bishop Is a strict dlcipllnar-
ian and very low church.
Bishop Whittle was called upon few
days ago to confirm class in Epiphany

firm the class he caught glimpse OF Inc
communion table He heaitated amoment
as if about to address the congregation,
but checked himself amp went OH with
the confirmation services. When he had
finished ho turned turned toward the con-
gregation anb exclaimed.
"That table must be taken out OF this
church. l will have no such display III

See that this is done"
Then the storm broke The rector, the
Rev, Fl. p. Chrlsman. vestry amp the con-
gregation all declared they would not
obey the bishops order.
IF you do not" said the bishop SOL
emnly, II will never darken your doors
again and will not confirm another class
in your church." :.

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The police de-
partment yesterday withdrew its officers
from all the cars and power houses of
the st. Louis Transit company and re.
turned them to their regular beats. The
transit company continues to augment
its force of nonunion employees and its
transportation facilities at ratio that
promises to see the system In full swing
before many days have passed.
At the herring in the corOner's inquest
over the bodies of strikers and a citizen
killed last Sunday by members Of the
sheriff's posse comtatns the testimony
adduccd tended to show that Deputy
Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick Bohne, the
citizen in question, but the witnesses dis
agreed as to the dapuiy's proyOcatiOn foi
shooting. After hearing the testimony OF
about So witnesses the jury returned a
verdict of homicide. Several of the dep
uties testified that Police Lieutenant
Stuck ordered the deputy shcrisfs to fire
on the crowd. Will" Stack declared he
did all in his power to prevent the depu
ties from firing.
The disappearance Of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was startling development at the

left the city. No further search will be
made for him probably unless friends OF
