Which Menaces the Domestic
Life OF To-day.

New York, Aug, 9.-sdrred by tho
presence IN his court room OF 100 WOO
men, followed by mob Of children
each woman demanding a warrant for
the husband, whom she charged with
dlscruon ana uon-support, Magistrate
Pool yesterday declared that wife de-
sertlon IS one Of the most serious
menaces to domestic life that now con-
fronts New York After hearing the
charges. the magistrate issued 20 war
rants and turned the remaining cases
over to court officers for immediate In
yestlgatlou.
Later u discussing the problem with
% reporter the magistrate said
"Thc large number Of cases that are
coming before magistrates IN the po-
lice courts show the grave nature Of
the problem that the lawmakers must
face
when a man tires Of a wife or is
attracted by a pretty face, an that he
has TO do Us 10 refuse 10 support his
wife, and then when she has him SUM
mouod before me. he can give q bond
for the payment of weekly sum, ana
20 nee OF interference from INC N'r
man or from the law am Elad to
say that in the largest number of cases
that appear before me the husband
Is OF foreign birth.
"A serious side OF the problem is that
women who appeal to the police court
| for aid only when they have exhausted
! every other means Of bringing the hus-
! band back To- them
when a woman appeals to me for
| aid, ! can only summon the husband
/ and force him To give bond for the pay
| ment Of O. stated sum each week II
/ he refuses j can send him 20 the work.
| house Many prefer 10 80 60 the work
! house TO paying their wives anything
| at ALL
A probation officer In Magistrate
! Pooles court said he had given the
| question Of wife abandonment careful
| study and that such cases are con-
stantly increasing In number in this
| city He asserted that family inter-
! ference and troublesome relatives were
the two causes largely responsible.

wreck on the Northern Pacific at
Brainerd today tied up that branch
for several hours. A switch engine
was on the main line and head-on
collision occurred In which both en-
g.nes were wrecked and the conductor
and several passengers bruised, but no
ono seriously hurt
The strikers claim the wreck was
caused by a lack Of Geographic COM
munication.
one OF the telegraph companies whose
lines follow the Great Northern be-
tween here and Duluth, was without
communication with the latter place
nearly all day. Linemen sent out are
reported to have found the wires
crossed near West Duluth, a fine wire
having been wrapped around the con-
nection Of al the wires on the pole.
