STEAK FRYING
AS LAW DELAYS
Mike Kolasak Forsakes Chop
house, Leaving Sizzling
Meat on the Gridiron
TO FRY UNTIL MONDAY
Will Be the Longest Short
Order on Record When
Sheriff Takes Possession

For once a chophouse beefsteak will
not be underdone. In the restaurant of
Mike" Kolasak, at Union street, a
piece Of beefsteak has been frying since
last Thursday. 1t will sizzle on the pan
till Monday morning. The law has
said 1t.
On Thursday afternoon Mikes chop
house was deserted and the proprietor
gave up hope. Chipping off a chunk of
the round" he softened it on the an
vii and put it in the pan. Lighting the
gasburner under it, he sat down to
brood over his troubles.
They say that 1 serve my steaks
raw" muttered Kolasak. "Ha, ha! This
one will be cooked to a turn"
Mike seized his hat and took the 30
cents from the till. Then, after locking
the place, he went south to parts un-
known. Sheriff Curtis was ordered to
take possession of the hashery for SIS
which the proprietor owed his landlady.
While the legal forms were being at
tended to the steak continued to fry. 1t
scented the neighborhood with an ap-
petizing aroma. Hoboes crowded the
sidewalk to whiff the odor and wax fat
thereon. And 1t Is still frying.
A deputy sheriff arrived yesterday,
but under the law he may not enter the
chophouse until Monday morning at 10
o'clock Meanwhile the steak will sizzle
on the pan. 1t ought to be cooked to a
turn when removed.
There is much discussion at the Sher-
ifs office as to the disposal Of this
well-cooked tidbit. If the landlady does
not want it the steak will be preserved
as the longest short-order on record
and the first chophouse product that
was not underdone.

DIVIDED HOUSE OF BARRY
AIRS GRIEVANCES IN COURT
After Being Twice Divorced the Parents of Five
Children Again Clash and Judge Mogan's Tri-

permitted to witness drunkenness, tina
was all the more reason why their
father should not appear before them
In drunken condition. If he were sin
cerely solicitous that his fifteen-year-
old daughter should be kept aloof from
drunkards and drunkenness, why was
he drunk when he went to visit her?
His practice was inconsistent with his
precept. Then the case was continued
till next Friday.
Miss Lucy B. Fisher, a visiting nurse
for the Associated Charities, told Judge
Conlan such a story Of Mrs. Mary Proc
tors maternal neglect that his Honor
expressed horror and ordered the
woman into custody for further exam
ination next Tuesday.
Mrs. Proctor and her husband,
Charles, stableman, live at 260 Ship
ley street, and for years she has been a
drunkard. She has three children
George. aged years; Edith, aged
years, and Gladys, aged 2 years-and
they were naked, hungry and filthy
when Miss Fisher found them alone In
the house. the mother being absent on
a spree. Gladys, who Is affected with
tuberculosis, was sent to a hospital,
and the other little ones to an institu-
ton for homeless children.
THE 2-year-old baby" said Miss
Fisher, has been starved and neglect
ed so that 1t is no larger than fair
sized doll. and it's eyes are dilated in
way that indicates alcoholic poison
ing"
This is one of the most distressing
cases that has ever been brought to my
attention" said the Judge, "and 1 Will
continue it till. Tuesday in order to as
certain just how much of 1t the chill
dren's father is responsible for"
Ulysses K. Jerome, booked for va
grancy and assigned to Judge Fritz for
trial, sent word from the prison that
he would like to be excused from api
pearlng in court, as he knew he looked
like a guy and did not desire to be
made laughing-stock for the bench
warmers.
What's the matter with his looks?'
inquired the Judge.
Bailiff Conlan described Mr.. Jerome S
appearance. When arrested early yes
terday morning at Pine and Kearny
streets the defendant was stupidity
drunk and his head bore evidence of
some practical joker having ran bar
ber's clipper crisscross through the
thick hair until the Uranium looked as
if it had been plated. Three avenues,
about two inches in width and three
inches apart, were shorn from the fore
head to the naDe of the neck, and an
equal number of bare streaks extended
across the skull. The general effect

Mrs. Helen T. Barry, mother Of ave
children, told Police Judge Mogan yes
terday that Michael ]. Barry, ma
chinist, from whom she was divorced
last March. Is too mean to be permit
ted to roam at large and she would
like to have his liberty curtailed. She
owns and manages a variety store at
1856 Fifteenth street and Mr.. Barry al
leges that her miscellaneous stock In
trade includes whisky. This she de-
MES and dares him to prove.
Fifteen years ago the Barrys were
married and twelvemonth later were
divorced. After two years Of single
harness they were legally reunited and
from that time until they again were
separated by judicial decree their do
mestic life was a steady succession of
jars. The court awarded the mother
possession Of the children, but two Of
the youngsters seeded and are dwell
ing with their father.
After the complaint had painted the
defendants character a lusterless black
she was taken in hand by his attorney
and forced to say some things that she
evidently did not like to say. Not until
the Judge explained to her the defend
ants right to have counsel and the
right of that counsel to question her
would she consent to cross-examina-
ton and even then her answers were
given with Ill grace. 1t was true, she
acknowledged, that money given by
Barry established the general mer-
chandise business that enabled her to
live and that he did protest against her
selling whisky and allowing scenes
of drunken revelry to threaten con-
tamination of his flfteen-year-old
daughter. While she denied the liquor
selling and the revelry, she confessed
that she had taken out a Federal IL
cense for the sale of intoxicants.
Barry stated that his object in visit
ing his former wifes place Of business
was to see his three children and that
he paid her IS for the window he had
smashed after she locked the door
against him. Yes, he had been drink
ing, but that was no reason why he
should be refused permission to see his
progeny. If their custodian were
total abstainer there might be logical
excuse for her declination to admit him
to their presence. He had it on ex-
ceIlent authority, however, that the
flowing bowl circulated frequently in
the variety store" and that his little
ones could scarcely avoid cognizance
Of its effects upon those who slipped.
The Judge opined that Mr.. Barry's
plea was rather debilitated, inasmuch
as it was based upon the theory that
two wrongs make a right-that one
fault justif1es another. Even If the
children in the mothers custody were

fcharge Of growing disinclinatlon TO-
wards marriage upon the part of men
A century ago or thereabouts the
first step which young men ordinary
| took towards establishing themselves
in life was to find each a good wife
as helpmeet in the struggle. Now
most men who pride themselves upon
being long headed wait to make their
own foothold stable before they
attempt to carry weight and give hos
tages to fortune. Waiting thus, a man
is apt to grow more and more ac-
customed to standing alone and to
conclude that. after all, he is better
without a wife than he might be with
one This, of course, provided he
does not fall in love, and whistles pru.
dence and selfishness down the wind,
after the usual manner of lovers;
whereafter his repentance, or the con-
trary, depends upon his choice of 4
wife. This last paragraph applies
chiefly to men of society with the
big S. Those who are out of its
world can afford to disregard its criti.
cisms and neglect its requirements
They may dare to be happy in their
own way, and reap the reward of their
courage. One of the greatest obsta
cles to contentment is the desire to
live up to other peoples expectations
and to confirm to their standards,
however false they may be.
Such men as these are in the great
minority and the fact that they wait
to make their fortunes before they
take wives unto themselves does not
lessen the marriage rate in any appre-
ciable degree. BY far the greater
number Of men marry, sooner or lat.
er, and these usually do so late in life.
But 1t is reacting upon the present
generation of society women in that
many Of them no longer marry while
young or, If they do, frequently be.
come the girl wives of elderly or mid.
die aged men, a result which goes far
to subvert the fundamental theory Of
which is that Of unity and
