STERN BROUGHT
BACK FROM CANADA
Baltimore Contractor Has
Hearing and Pleads Not
Guilty Of Postal Frauds
CONTRACT PLACED IN EVIDENCE

washington, Oct. 21. - Leopold J..
Stern, the Baltimore contractor, ar
rested IN Toronto under two warrants
charging false pretenses in the sup.
ply to the government Of satchels for
rural free delivery carriers. was given
& preliminary hearing in the police
court. Stern pleaded not guilty. Much
OF the time WIS consumed in argu-
ments by attorneys. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Taggart reviewed the
charges against Stern. who. he said,
submitted a bill and received money
for satchel straps which he never fur
nished.
"The bill on its face" said Mr. Tag
CART. was a lie. There were 1857
satchels supplied. but they did not
have the straps as stipulated in the
contract"
The defense contended that If the
department ordered that the Lamb
straps" with which Stern was supplied
and which he used in place of his own,
be used as they interpreted the gov
ernment's position, Stern was certainly
entitled to the money he received, as
such order constituted a modification
Of the contract.
Posto1lce Inspector Mayer identi-
fed Stern's original contract with the
government. which was admitted in
evidence, despite the objection of the
defense.
The defense contended that the
United States did agree that Stern
furnish the satchels without the
straps. the government supplying him
with certain straps known as the
Lamb straps. which only one concern
could furnish.
Mr.. raggart called attention to the
omission in Sterns bill OF anything
to indicate that he had not supplied
the straps as stipulated. He explained
later to the inspectors, said Mr.. Tag
CART, that the government relieved him
OF the expense of the straps owing to
the higher prices of leather on ac-
count of the Spanish war
The defense contended that there
was not a word about straps in the
/ NOHAIutI llAAouhANN. hNAN Noo 'HHfN
thing about straps in the specihca
tions. but those they did not have t'
deal with
In his testimony Inspector Moye
said he had a conversation with tn
defendant at his place Of business II
Baltimore, in which the latter az
knowledged having but one contrac
with the government for the furnishin
of satchels. and that his contrac
called for a certain kind of strap
be placed on the satchels. On eros
examination. the defense brought OF
the admission that Stern had elaine
that he had secured the permission
} two postal officials to furnish tn
satchels without straps. The hearin
was continued.

ATE in HIS SHIRT SLEEVES
MRS. KNERR OBJECTED AND HUs-
BAND SEEKS A DIVORCE.
He Alleges that She Ruined His Pro-
fessional Observation-Disclosures PeO-
pie In Court-Court Cases.

DR.. Charles B. Knerr filed a complaint
for divorce yesterday which narrates
enough domestic troubles TO go around a
neighborhood. DR.. Knerr complains that
his wife, Leonora Knerr. has made his life
miserable Inundated him. destroyed his
happiness and peace and broken up his
practice as a physician in the eastern part
of the city because of her dislike for him.
which has developed during their married
life since 1884. In his complaint DR.. knerr
tells the story of his family relations. AT
the time of his marriage, he says. he was a
machinist and had saved about 500. His
wife had $50 and the two pooled their in
terests and five years later owned home
OF their own, had become prosperous and
owned jointly property valued at 5000.
He became tired of earning his living by
manual labor and studied medicine. Two
years later he graduated from medical
college and established a practice In the
community. He has been successful, ne
says, and until his troubles with his wife
began was enjoying an income Of 5000 a
year.
For some reason which he fails to give
DR.. Knerr secured the dislike of his wife
and unceasing trouble. 1t began with his
wife telling him that he should not be
practitioner of medicine, but blacksmith
She informed his patients of her opinion OF
his professional worth, and in order to save
the family fortunes studied medicine her
self and graduated from college with the
degree of doctor of medicine. She did not
practice her profession, however, but ac-
cording to Knerr devoted her energy TO
destroying his reputation. That the neigh
bors might be fully advised OF their
troubles, DR.. Knerr says, his wife opened
the windows of their home and spent hours
in berating him for his professional short
comings and faults. To show that he
failed to provide for his family she spent
the entire day on several occasions in the
yard washing clothes, although there was
no necessity for this action. Another cause
for complaint is that Mrs. Knerr objected
to her husband eating in his shirt sleeves.
Dr. Knerr asks the court to grant him
an absolute divorce and to give him the
custody of their five children.

The Vogue of Gray.

New York Ledger.
One is almost glad that the winter season
is nearly ended. so that furs may be BAN
ished from the imagination. The vogue of
squirrel and chinchilla has been fatal to
many a maidens beauty.
Few women seem to understand that it is
not alone the richness and style of their
furs that is to be considered. but also the
relation they bear to their coloring. No
one whose complexion is sallow and whose
hair is pale can expect to look well in
either of those mentioned above. The soft,
dark furs are universally becoming.
Gray should be tabooed by every one who
has not either a warm olive or fair and
rosy complexion. 1t is neutral tint intend
ed as a background. Observe it's use by
that careful and shrewd artist Nine. Ma
ture. She puts it on her lichens, her tree
trunks. her rocks; she paints the sky with
ii to throw out the violet and silver Of the
lightning; she lines with it the wings of
tropic birds; everywhere she uses it as con-
trast. She ignores fashion. aiming entirely
at effect. So also should the woman who
would be beautiful, as what woman would
not? 1t is melancholy to see so much fem
mime attractiveness inundated on the altar
of the prevailing mode.
