His Wages, Says Suing
Wife.

Mrs. Rosetta Adams has brought suit

mond by which she expects to secure a
legal separation from her husband,
Charles Adams.

separated in February, 1908. She says
that her husband represented to her
that he had not collected all of his
wages, but that he was receiving in
terest on them and that they repre-
sented saving that he was making.
Instead of that, Mrs Adams says she
discovered that her husband was spend

averaged SO day. Mrs. Adams says

81. 900 and she demands $4,000, a divorce
and the restoration of her maiden name,

FRANK HAD 8
WARM FIGHTS
So Judge Me- cMahan Decided
That He Had Enough
and Let Him Go.
WH|sKEY CAUSED DOWNFALL
Wife Gives Him a Thrashing and
Then He Sobers Up and Gives
Her Good Measure.

Frank Hulock, living at No. 10, COM
pany house, in the Standard district, got
into three kinds of fights yesterday.
He first got into a booze fight and
then went home where his wife was so
provoked that she jumped onto him
and gave him a good thrashing.
She was able to do that for the rea-
son that the booze was helping her
out and he could not hope to win
against odds. After being driven out
of the house Frank went away and
sobered up.
The more sober he got the more he
began to feel the bruises which had
been inflicted by his wife. the more
convinced he was that it was an out
rage for an bodied man to take
such a beating from the weaker sex.
His ire finally rose until he went
home in rage and after locating his
wife he gave her a terrible thrashing
The police were finally called ant
brought Frank Hulock to the station.
There he explained that he had three
fights, one in which whiskey got tn,

BECKER CALLS II
ALL TOMMY. rot
Says He Is Not Interested in
Getting Bill Passed So
He Can Be Reelected.
MAYORS ARE GETTING BUSY
Other Executives Intimate That
They Have Friends Who Want
Them Returned to Office.

The Times telegram from Indian-
apolfs last evening, to the effect that
Mayer Lawrence Becker of Hammond
had called a meeting of the mayors of
the Indiana cities, to meet at the Clay
pool at Indianapolis next Tuesday, with
a view of discussing amendments to the
cities and towns law, has caused stir
In local political circles.
The revision would naturally include
an amendment by which it would be
permissible for mayor to succeed him
self a thing which he cannot now do
under the law. To the uninitiated this
caused all the more of a surprise when
it was learned that this movement
should start with Mayor Becker but
the mayor himself, and those who know,
have an easy solution to this answer.
Mayor Becker is, first of ALL the
chairman of the legislative committee
of the municipal league, and as such
would naturally call a meeting on any
mattr pertaining to proposed legisla-
tion. AS to the mayor simply creating
an opening to succeed himself in 1910,
Mayor Becker answers:
'Tommyroti The amendments to the
bill are numerous and the provisions
for the mayors to succeed themselves
| has not near the weight that others
have which we will propose. There is
| the sale of Improvement bonds, for in
stance, for which q waiver may be
signed, no matter how small the assess
ment and Furthermore, that lock of a
provision in the present cities and
towns law by which the burden of ex-
pense is thrown on the city to collect
| for delinquent assessments.
THE way the cities and towns law
reads now no single city official can
| succeed himself, neither a councilman
nor city clerk nor any of the elective
officers, and it would seem that 1t would
be a popular move with the people il
they had their choice to return some
of their friends to office
A dispatch from Indianapolis to THE
TIMES says:
The meeting of mayors of Indiana
cities which has been called by Mayor
Becker of Hammond for the 18th day OF
this month in this city will probably
be love feast more than anything else
The call states that the purpose is tt
start a movement for the repeal of tha
part of the cities and towns law which
prevents a mayor from being elected
to succeed himself.
Many of the mayors of the cities il
the state are of the opinion that the.
should not be bound up in this manner
They argue that they are just as com
petent to fill the office at the end o
four years as they were at the start
| and that they should be allowed t
hold the Office another term if they cal
be elected. They are satisfied to hol,
on if they have the chance.
