REPENTANT WIFE GOES HOME.
Accompanies Her Husband Back to &C.
dar Rapids TO See the Baby.

There was a dramatic scene yesterday
when William Cooper, a good looking
young man from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
encountered his wife in one of the halls
of the GlenWood hotel accompanied by
another man.
Mrs. Cooper is a very handsome young
woman. She is well dressed and of styl-
ish figure. The Coopers We're married
two years ago when the wife was six
teen and the husband not much older
They have one child
week ago there was serious mis-
understanding between the pair at their
home in Cedar Rapids and Mrs. Cooper
left town with another man, leaving her
child in the care of its father. The run
away pair came directly to this city.
Cooper placed the child in charge of
relatives and started in search OF his
wife. He had searched a good many
hotels and boarding houses before try
ing the Glenwood hotel. There he ran
across Mrs Cooper by accident.
Cooper asked his wife if she had en-
joyed her trip, whereupon she burst into
tears and replied that she wanted to see
the baby. This proved a very good start,
and before the UnSuSpeCting friend of
the family knew what was happening
negotiations for the return Of Mrs. Coop
er to Cedar Rapids were well under
way.
The young wife appeared heartily
ashamed of her escapade, and Cooper
refused to discuss it further than to ad-
nit that there had been a misunders tand-
ing which was now adjusted. AS soon
as the conditions of affairs became APP
parent the man who had been in Mrs
Coopers company took to the tall tim

their Iowa home last night.

CORBETT-M'GOVERN
MATCH CALLED OFF
Fighters Admit FutiIlty of Attempting to
Battle.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-The feather
weight championship match between
Young COrbett and Terry McGovern is
off. Owing to the failure of the Louis

Sam Harris and Young COrbett met
at the wrestling match in Madison Square
Garden late last night and after talk
with Jim Kennedy, manager of the YoSe-
mite club of San Francisco, it was de-
cided to declare off the championship
Young" Corbett said: There is moth
ing else for us to do. We have heard
from Bob Gray in Louisville and chances
are so slim for a meeting there that they
are not worth considering. The COnsi-
dimes have been looking over the ground
thoroughly and find the situation hope
less. l have been told San Francisco IS
not oVeranXiOus about McGovern, and no
club there is willing to make an offer
worth considering. I'm tired Of waiting
and losing money
Harris said I'VE were anxious to
title to England with him. At present
there is no hope of holding the fight any
where in the United States. If oppOrtu-
nifty offers the match Will be made over
again Immediately"
Jim Kennedy announces that Young
Corbett will fight Eddie Hanlon on Feb.
26 and on March IL will meet Jimmy
Britt. Both fights will be at 40 pounds
ringside, before the Yosemite club,
"Wednesday. McGovern will fight cubs"
around the East until April when he
goes to England to train for the Jordan

C0HEN'S TRIAL
BEGINS TODAY
E1-Detectiye NOrbeck, of
saltwater Prison, Will
Testify Against Him.

The case against Joseph Cohen, one
of the alleged municipal corruption
lists, which was to be commenced yes
terday, will go to trial this morning.
Cohen's attorney was engaged in the
trial of another case.
Christopher G. Norbeck, one of the
witnesses against Cohen, was brought
yesterday from Saltwater, where he is
serving a three-year sentence. Nor
beck seems to have improved much
since his Incarceration, as to general
health and personal appearance. He
has lost the flaming headlight he for
merly carried as the characterizing
feature of his physiognomy, and walks
with an erect, firm step.
Norbeck's testimony is relied on to
convict Cohen. He was associated
with the latter in gathering graft"
and is able to recount innumerable in
stances where money was paid.

JUDGE DOUBTS THEIR STORY.
TWO Young Men Who Explored a Board
ing House Held to Grand Jury.

TWO Young Men Who Explored a Board
ing House Held to Grand Jury.
William Lichleiter and S. H. Buck, two
young fellows of good appearance and
address, were before Judge Dickinson yes
terday as suspicious characters. They
Were found proving about the interior of
Miss Elizabeth McCourt's private board
ing house at $40 Tenth street south and
given in charge of the police They were
held to the grand jury in bail of $500 each.
The predicament of the two men points
a moral 1t deals with the uQWiSdOm of
entering private house and looking for
a room number on the second floor sim
ply because lady has asked you to call
and given minute directions as to find
ing her abode.
When Lichtleiter and young Mr.. Buck
were found squirting at the room doors
by means Of matches held aloft, the lady
of the house inquired quite pleasantly for
whom they We're searching, and when Mr..
Buck replied in a somewhat mysterious
manner that he and his friend were in
search of Jennie and Kate" she be-
came suspicious Immediately, for she had
tian names.
But the two young fellows stuck to their
story in court and seemed seriously cha
grined when Judge Dickinson expressed
doubt of their motives.
I'VE were at Dance" said LichtIeiter
ut was very nice dance and the young
ladies were very pleasant to us, especially
Miss Jennie and Miss Kate One Of them
was dressed in pink and the other in blue.
They seemed like real ladies. Of course
we got pretty well acquainted in the
course of the evening, and they asked us
to call. The first time we had a chance
to be out together we made the call.
suppose the girls were Stringing US"
Judge Dickinson expressed the opinion
that while there We're possibilities in the
story, and that it might be true, there
seemed to him certain weak points in its
construction. At all events he decided
to give the two Lotharios a chance to
explain to the grand jury.

FOUL STRIKE RULE
IN THE BALANCE
Fate of Fool Regulation Will Be Decided
at Chicago Meeting.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The fate of the foul
strike used by the National league for
the past two years will be decided at the
joint session of the American and Ma
tional league committees this week. and
the deliberations OF that body will be of
considerable interest to the ball fans
throughout the country
The critics are practically unanimous
IN predicting that the rule will go and the
old rules used by the American league be
adopted. Whatever way the matter il
decided. 1t will undoubtedly be settled
amicably. but a long discussion is likely
TO precede the final decision.
. President Hart. of the Chicago Ma
tional league club is the father of the
foul strike rule, and Ned Hanlon, his
companion on the National league rules
committee, has also been an ardent sup

hit ball not caught on the fly, unless two
strikes have been called necessarily
helps the pitcher. and at the time the
change was offered it was Col. Hart's
plan to equaliZe matters by allowing the
batsman to take his base on three balls
instead of four.
In the discussion which will come up
this week this change will probably be
advocated by Hart and perhaps by Han
The most of the fans have noticed lit

all are a unit for uniform law between
the two leagues.
Bruce the American league representa-
tiYes, will all favor the adjustment of
the foul strike rule. and if Max Fleisch-
mann, the third member of the National
league committee, whose position is as
vet unknown, should side with the John
sonites there is little chance for the rule
to survive in any form.
President Hart has stated that if on the
first vote there is majority against the
rule he will shift on the next ballot with
the majority. so as to have the final de-
cisiOn come unanimously if possible.
It is probable that the committeeman
will hold their session Fere not later than
the middle of this week, and their DELHI
erations will be watched with interest by
all followers of the game.

bearing upon the New York Situation

that city. SO far as dealing with a syn

the statement that he could down a
quart of the corn extract and was prompt

When the quart was ordered it was
handed out in pint TASKS.
O'Brien drank the first pint without
any trouble. He left the place and came
back in an hour and emptied another
