'EARLE'S NIGHT IN JAIL.
Puts Him in Sorrowful Mood and He
Wants to Make Up.

Monroe. N. Y, Aug. 26.-The trou-
BILE between Ferdinand Finney Earle
and his "soul mate" wife, Julia Kutt-
ner Earle, which landed the artist in
Jail, on a charge of wife beating, gave
promise today of an early adjustment.
Both Earle and his wife are said to be
DESTROYS of a reconciliation and it is
not believed Mrs. Earle will consent to
appear in court to press the charge on
which he is held. Earle, himself, who
at first appeared to be opposed to any
movement having for it's object his
release from Jail. was said to be in a
different mood today. He passed a
sleepless night in the Jail at Goshen
and was constantly watched by guards
who feared he would attempt TO end
his life. Today he broke down COM
pletely, wept and declared that he
would attempt to gain his wife's for
giveness. II was after the news of
Earle's change in demeanor that his
wife expressed a willingness to over
look the treatment which resulted in
her husbands arrest. The trouble be-
tween the couple arose because Earle
had forbidden his wife to nurse their
baby.
Application was made in Middletown
today for bail for Earle and County
Judge Boise fixed the amount at 81
900. 1t is expected that Earle will
furnish the security required and
shortly be released. s-r <,r -a,...

would take eight times this pressure
to overturn the structure.
The new Equitable building, which
is about 900 feet high, will be the tall
est office building in the world and the
Eiffef tower. This is nearly twice the
height of the Washington monument
and over twice the height of ST.
Peters in Rome. 1t makes the Singer
