New York, March 1s.--William Carroll,
a section foreman in the employ OF the
New Jersey Steel and Iron company, was
before Magistrate Kramer, in the Lee
Avenue Police Court. Williamsburg yes
terday. charged with abandoning his al
legged wife Agnes.
In order to make the arrest Policeman
Martin schnepf bad TO climb 10 the top
of the Williamsburg tower OF the new
East River bridge. where Carroll was
experimenting the placing of iron work.
II was a perilous undertaking for the po-
liceman. and Carroll appeared 10 enjoy
his prospective captor's anxiety Az he
climbed the one hundred and fifty feet
During the court proceeding IL trans
pired that Carroll had married the sister
of the woman who had caused his arrest,
and also that his wife's honeymoon con-
sisted I'm her climbing to the cap of the
bridge tower on the Williamsburg side of
the river
According 60 stories told in courf. Car

arrest. Later they agreed to live together
as husband and wife From Montreal
they went TO Buffalo. and then 10 Yon-
kers. where Carroll was employed for a
time on the big steel grand stand at the

abandoning her The complainant answer
ed this by saying that she had been i'm
troduced many times as Mrs. Carroll by
the accused and also that he had made
frequent promises TO have ceremony
performed. Carroll was held in $1,000 bail

SOCIAL CONVERSE STOPPED.

Buffalo. March is.--The boys OF the Gen.
tral high school want chance 10 get
acquainted with their girl classmates and
have rebelled against some new rules
which interfere with this social inter-
course.
For many years il has been customary
for the boys and girls 10 meet in the
Railways.
On Monday the pupils were notified that
no talking or lettering would be allowed
in the Railways, and that each student
Immediately on leaving the cloak-rooms
would have TO go directly TO the study
room.
Another new rule requires that after
the classes have been dismissed IN the af-
ternoon each student who wishes to go
10 any school-room must sign his name
on a register in the basement, telling
why he wishes to return.
When they wanted to talk TO one OF the
teachers i'm a classroom they were noti-
tied that IL would be necessary 10 write
note and take ID up TO the one in charge
of the study-room. From there IL would
be sent TO the teacher for whom 1t was
intended
If the teacher saw fit TO give the writer
an audience "A reply was written. The pu-
pills say that by the time they had gone
through with all these proceedings II was
usually too late to get a satisfactory in
terview.
On Monday morning when the students
gathered In the chapel for the usual exer-
cises there was q marked silence among
the boys. When Principal Vogt announced
that a song would be sung the only ones
who took part were the girls. The same
thing happened yesterday.
Two hundred boys congregated I'm the
basement yesterday forenoon, and at two
minutes before o'cl3ck they all marched
up To ~ne study-rooms.' The janitor told
the boys several times that they were
wanted upstairs. but they paid no atten-
ton to him. Prof. Vogt has taken no Of
ficial cognizance Of the matter so far.
