FAILS IN APOLOGY
TO FAITHFUL WIFE
Adolph IL. Wittrock, Acting on
Courts Suggestion, Attempts
Reconciliation
Abused Spouse Scorns Him and
Her Divorce Case Goes
Over One Week

You ought to go down on your knees
and ask her forgiveness said Judge
Graham yesterday to Adolph Id. Witt
rock after hearing the testimony in
the suit for divorce brought by Will
helmina Wittrock The husband ad-
vanced with murmurs of apology, but
Mrs Wittrock waved him aside
L can not forgive YOU" she said. and
she started to leave the courtroom
with the man following behind, still
begging for forgiveness. In testifying
Tor herself Mrs. Wittrock declared she
had four children, all of them over age,
and all of whom had children of their
own She said that since her marriage,
% years before, she had worked stead
lly and faithfully as wife and mother,
and during recent years rather harder
than should be expected of a woman.
She did not mind the hard work, but
her spirit failed her when she learned
that her husband had been going
around the community accusing her of
infidelity The four children took the
mothers side, and one of them, Mrs
Elsie Rewid, was outspoken in her de-
nunciation of her father The money
gained by the wifes labor, 1T seemed,
had been boarded up by Wittrock, and
but little of it ever given to the wife.
Wittrock made no defense and was
anxious for a peaceable settlement.
Judge Graham severely lectured the
man and at the conclusion told him he
ought to go down on his knees and
beg his wife's forgiveness. Wittrock
was about to literally obey the advice
when his wife turned away.
Judge Graham gave Wittrock a week
in which to make peace with his wife.
Failing in that, all the community prop
erty and the money she has earned will
be awarded to her. together with her
divorce.

CBy Willis J. Abbott
Washington. u. c., Mar 3.-Spe-
cial The failure OF the democrats in
the legislature of Kentucky to elect
United States senator is a disgrace
to the party in that state and an in
jury to the cause of democracy
throughout the nation That there
should be a fight against Gov. Beck
ham who had sixty votes for him, is
perhaps not without reason Gov.
Beckham mas carried matters in Ken
lucky with a high hand, but even so
he represented the enormous majority
Of the Democratic votes In the eau
Gus The scattering votes showed one
for Blackburn. one for Ollie James
and before the vote was wholly cast
there was an attempt to break a
quorum by having all the democrats
leave the hall. But in the end four
alleged democrats all OF whom We're
controlled, curiously enough, by form
er Senator Blackburn. cast uleir votes
for Bradley, the republican candidate.
They did this after GOV. Beckham had
expressed his willingness to withdraw
his name and to have his sixty votes
cast for any democrat upon whom
these four alleged democrats would
unite.
There are two explanations given
in Washington OF the willingness OF
four so-called democrats to elect for
six years to the Unitei States sen
ate republican who stands for high
tariff, for the Capitalization of gov
ernment. for a central bank and for
everything watch is against the dem
ocratic creed. one explanation is
that If any man had been given the
| vote of the BeCkham faction, the fight
| in Kentucky would have been be
| tween Beckham and the foes of Beck
/ ham at the next election, and that
/ these four wise men who gave their
votes TO the republican party, thought
| ii best 70 eliminate Beckham this
time by eliminating any candidate on
| the democratic ticket for senator OF
the United States. How much that
may mean for the men who did it can
be left to the judgment of their con.
stituents in Kentucky.
The other comment upon it in both
/ the house and senate today is this
and expressing it am simply express
sing or possibly better, quoting what
is being said here Gov. Beckhan
succeeded in beating Senator J. 5
Blackburn, better known as Joe
Blackburn. Senator Blackburn haC
served his state long and well. a.
had been leader of the democrati.
party in the senate, his defeat was tC
him a bitter blow. When defeated he

At the moment of this writing Sen

the most modern and beautiful bank

suite of rooms furnished them with
mahogany and Turkish rugs and
therein has begun the systematic
work for the denomination of Mr..
Roosevelt for his third term or as
Senator Bourne calls 90. his second
electoral term He has engaged a
press agent cartooui-ts. clerks and
stcuograIlcrs galore. He insists that
he has not consulted Mr. Roosevelt
ON the subject, and really most of his
friends i'm the senate ana among the
press in Washington think that in so

there isn't one of them who doubts
that whether consulted or not. NJ;

Some people think that Taft is a
party to his plan to make Roosevelt

is being made vicarious sacrifice of
the republican ambition, but nobody
thinks that there is any sincerity in
the Roosevelt support Of Taft, and the
general opinion Is uaat Taft is either

and cast their votes for Roosevelt
1t is a pleasant situation for Mr.
Taft to be in. Perhaps it might i'm
prove it if he would resign his 20
sition as secretary of war and go on
as seli-respecting candidate for tn,
presidency. As it is now he is Meth
