asserts that for long time he will
live a life of absolute seclusion. He
vehemently asserts his innocence of
any intention of wrongdoing, and says
he never induced Mrs. Edwards to
leave her home, but upon the contrary
when he found that she was not Miss
Edwards he tried to persuade her to
return to her husband. When seen to-
night Russo said: My heart is more
broken than ever. My heart was
broken six months ago when Collama-
rini left me. Since them / have loved
no woman and never could again Now

Independent Owners Reduce Wages
and Trouble is likely to Follow.
The members Of the Hackynen's
Union are still dissatisfied and It is
likely that the case will be reopened.
The men held q meeting last night at
B p. Han and discussed the situation.
They seem to be in favor OF making
more demands on their employers and
prospects Of a final settlement are any
thing but bright.
The independent hack and stable
owners were paying their men 81 SO
per day, but when the settlement was
made on a 81 25 basis these owners i'm
meddately reduced their scale Of wages
20 81 25. The men employed by them
at once became dissatisfied and it is
said they VIII make demands for 81 30
per day, or II not they will probably
reopen the case and begin negotiations
anew.

DIVORCE MUST
FOLLOW FLIGHT
u. M. Edwards Will Go Into
Court to Secure Legal
Custody of Minor Child
Russo is CO.
Plaintiffs Wife Will Ask
for a Decree on Ground
That She Has Been Good
RUSSO is CORRESPONDENT

Mrs Laurie M. Edwards says she is
going to have possession Of her daugh-
ter Robena, even If she did happen to
be at Pastori's resort when her hus-
band found her coming from the din
ing-room with Domenico Russo. the
tenor and erstwhile music teacher, and
Laurie M. Edwards, her husband, says
she will not. 1t will be up to the SUI
perior Court to decide and if the adage,
possession is nine points Of the law"
holds good, Mr.. Edwards will win, for
he has the child and is anxious to make
his claim for possession.
Following the sensational gun play
at Pastori's resort on Tuesday, l.. NJ
Edwards, who accused his wife OF IL
licit relations with Russo, came back
to the city with the child In his arms
and placed the little girl in charge of
friends while he went forth to seek
legal advice and consolation.
In the meantime his girl wife. who
had entered into a hasty marriage by
elopement from Savannah, Ca, five
years previous, went to her mothers
home at 345 Haight street and amid
tears told her side of the story.
Edwards claims his wife has broken
the vow of chastity. She shrugs her
shoulders and simply says the state
ment Is untrue. Lawyers are trying to
patch the differences with legal home-
made cement. but several attempts
have failed to secure an adhesion of
the broken parts.
HE WANTS CHILD.
Edwards says he wants the child.
not the wife. The wife says she wants
the child. not Edwards. With two
negatives working in contradiction and
the force of the child not being suf-
ficient as a positive, no current of
mutual results can be reached, and it
now remains for the legal arm to sup
ply the lacking quantity.
Edwards has placed his case in the
hands of E. j. Hill and has furnished
that attorney with facts to institute
suit for divorce and the custody OF the
minor child, Robena. Domenico Russo
will be cited as correspondent and the
charge will be inf1delity.
Edwards says he found his wife and
the tenor from the Tivoli in the Pas
tori resort on Tuesday and the circum-
stances thereto attached were sufficient
for him to make the charge. Edwards
stated yesterday that after the blood
less and shotless duel was over, he had
a conference with Russo in a private
room of the resort and that before the
conference was completed Mrs. Ed
wards was summoned and took part.
contends that the burden of
the conference was the possession of
the child, but that Russo recommended
a reconciliation. That, Edwards would
not have Mrs. Edwards admits having
been called into the conference and in
sisting on retaining the little girl.
In the office of E. ]. Hill yesterday
afternoon l.. M. Edwards said:

Is there no possibility Of reconciliation. for

None whatever. My wife has done something

girl to be in her charge.
Mrs. Edwards was at her mothers
home She paced up and down the
room, while her thin lips twiched nert
vously. Il have done nothing wrong
and l want my baby" was the burden
of her cry. God! oh, God! Why do
suffer so? have done nothing wrong,
l have done nothing wrong"
When asked If it was true that she
had attended a conference between her
husband and Russo at Pastoris. she
replied in the affirmative. She wanted
her child, she said, but could not put
up any longer with the treatment of
her husband. The records at Pastori's
would show that she had not at any
time occupied Russo's room and that
she was perfectly innocent of anything
wrong. Yes, she had taken breakfast
at the same table with the tenor and
he had been giving her music lessons,
but that was all. Her daughter was
with her at the breakfast table, for
she had come back to San Francisco
Sunday and taken her away.

get me back my little girl"
Mrs. Smith, the mother of Mrs. Ed
wards, advised her daughter to go to
her room and try and be calm, for the
strain under which she was laboring
was telling on her nerves. Mrs. Ed
wards took the hint by adjusting her
fluffy blonde hair and going to her
own apartment.
Domenico Russo, the man in the case.
tells the same story as Mrs. Edwards.
There were no Illicit relations between
them while at Pastori's resort or else
where. The reason for his running to
his room and securing a shotgun was
the fact that he thought Edwards was
going to kill the woman and his Italian
chivalry would not permit such man
to escape.
All the facts In the case are to be
aired in the courts, for both sides say
there is no chance of reconciliation and
in the meantime Edwards has the child
and it's mother walks the floor.

The Board Of Trade will give 3 ban

way 10 connect the Delaware and

ago the Bosid Of Trade, while con-
sidering the deepening Of the Chris

and the digging Of a So foot channel
for the Delaware River, had the COM
mercial importance Of an inland canal
to connect the Delaware and Chesa-
peake Bays brought to its attention by
Alfred o. Crozier, a new member Of
the bosrd and Delawarean Of fewer
than two years residence.
Realizing the vast importance Of such
a canal 10 accommodate the largest
vessels, not only in general commerce
but also for strategic purposes in time
Of war, the board determined to advo-
cafe the construction Of such water
way. United States Senator L. Heisler
Ball, who was present, assured the
board Of his co operation and shortly
afterwards United States Senator J.
