MAYNARD HUSBAND
 IS GIVEN A CHANGE
WHITE MAN CHARGED WITH DE- sERTlNG HIS FAMILY IS AL LOWED TO GO FOR 30 DAYS ON PROMISE OF GOOD BEHAVIOR.

John Wendt, the white man who was ar rested Wednesday night by Policemen Me Donald and Hawkins on a charge of dis orderly conduct and deserting his wife and family. was yesterday allowed to go free for thirty days on promise of good behavior.
 In court Judge Feagin stated that the evidence was against Wendt and that he should be punished, but that the punish ment would be harder on the family than on the man. Judge Feagin made Wendt promise to support his family. stop drink ing and behave himself for thirty days. and then allowed him to go.
 On the 24th of next month he is to re- port to court, accompanied by his wife, who Is to testify as to his good behavior If the man has not cared for his fam fly and behaved himself Judge Feagin states he will be inclined to give him the limit of the law. Judge Feagin says that Justice and right will be carried out bet ter if this man can be made to support his wife, than if he were placed in jal and the wife and family allowed to sui fer for food and clothing while he Is there satisfying the law.
 This makes about a dozen white men that Judge Feagin has out on probation in this manner, all of them beng allowed to go for thirty days on the promise of good behavior. In a number of cases this has proven a very effective and satisfac- tory method of correction, and only once or twice out of large number of cases has 1t proven a failure.

1t is quarter of century since the
beginning of the long distance telephony,
says the Boston correspondent Of the
Sunday "CaIl"
Before 1879, no telephone message had
been transmitted fro none city to an
other, and the idea that the sound Of the
human voice could be carried over wire
forty or fifty miles in length was not
generally entertained. 1t was, however,
firmly fixed in the minds of the men
who had recently formed the Bell Com
pany, and they even then predicted that
the time would come when the country
would be covered by harmonious net
work of telephone wires, and the dis
tance over which conversation could be
carried on would be measured by hun
dreds and thousands Of miles, bringing
the entire population in communication
through a single universal system.
