weeks ago, after having been ousted
from the Bond building for being be

| However, it was not long before Cole
was said to be frequently in an in
toxicated condition. causing trouble on
| more than one occasion. One day he is
said to have created big sensation by
beating his wife in the office. The story
is that her cries attracted several men
in the building, Ind arrest and disgrace
were averted then simply because his
wife refused to u Jsecute him and beg
gcd the men 1t 20 report him to the
police
Shortly after this incident Cole got
behind in his rent, and after trying to
stave off the superintendent he was put
out. 1t is said that his wife practically

of prominent officials may occur
through little provision put into the
last law making appropriations for
deficiencies in the governments ex-
penditures. Practically every depart
melt has spent or incurred obliga-
lions which will necessitate the dis
bursement of every penny appropriate
ed for the present fiscal year; and
there remain two months of the fiscal
year yet to run. AS has been the
custom in the past it was intended in
order to continue government work to
authorize contractors and employees
to go ahead with their jobs and ask
congress to make deficiency appropria-
