Miss Gingles' Chargss.

Chicago, July 8.-Assislsnt States
Attorney Short today expected to place
on the stand DR.. Vim. Krone, an ex-
perLs, wheo the Gingles lace larceny
case was resumed in Judge BrenaBo's
court
The state wishes to introduce testi-
mouy through DR.. Krone. to support its
contention that the whole horrible story
told by Mics Gingles 10 which she
charged MISS Agnes Bsrrette, Mrs. Oe-
ella Kenyon, aud an unknown man,
with terrible crimes is flight of the
girls imagination.
Short says be expects to attack the
girls story on the ground that she is b
monouanics on the subjects to Whicd
che ha0 referred in her testimony ana
that she has framed her story after read
ing "Erotic Olssscs," of George
Reynolds, and some such medical books
and "PsYcopathic Ssxualis," collec.
ton of reports by European scientists.
DR.. Krone examined Miss Gingles al
the time she WAS found bound and
gagged in the Wellington Hotel and his
reports to the states attorney expresses
the opinion that the attacks to which
she testified did not occur and that she
herself was the primary agent 10 in
aicting the wounds shown on her body.

dead, which at this time defes accurate
estimation, railroads paralyzsd, tele.
graph and telephone communication
interrupted, combine to make the situa.
ton confronting the rescuers in the food
swept district today one Of the most
serious 10 the history of the middle west.
The number dead is varionsly estimated
up to twenty. The fate of a number Of
persons carried away by the food is not
known. Five men we're swept away
with a railroad bridge near OhilIicOthe,
late yesterday. Motor boas went 10
pursuit of wrecksge to which the men
were clinging. Darkness came before
the boats had overtaken the wreck.
Four men are missing at Pattonsburg.
1t is believed that they were drowned.
Reports received this morning say the
water In many places is still rising and
the extent of the food is increasing.
No word was received up to late this
forenoon from PsttOnsburg, but it is
known that two relief trains dispatched
yesterday to succor the people of the in
udated town are hopelessly stalled In the
food.
At dark Isst night much OF the rescue
work was abandoned. The dangers
of the food we're so great that resources
could do bat little. Today parties have
set out again hoping to rescue those who
have taken refuge in trees or whose homes
are surrounded by water.
six people who lived 10 the Grand
river bottoms near ChillicOthe, we're
reported 10 danger. A rescue party went
10 search of them bat could not fiud
them. 1t is presumed they are dead.
A farmer living alone near Gillatien
was reported in peril. Resources found
his cabin in Is feet OF water. His fate
is not known. Boats we're scarce sud

ed RATS. These we're found to be very

Four granddaughter Of Charles
Dickens have each been granted pen
sion of 81 so per week by the British
government Gin recognition of the liter
airy eminence of their grandfather, and
in consideration of their strsitened cir
cumstances." Dickens was doubtless one
of the most uutirlDg literary tOilers thai

much profit from his pen IS any other
author, But, like the great majority
of the class, his fate was not to accum.
mulste, and in rearing large family be
spent bis money as fast as be earned it.
He failed to transmit his genius TO any
of his progeny, and his grandchildren
are now, in a measure, public charges.
While Dickens lived his reputation
placed him in position by which be
could dictate terms to publishers, and
his revenue was sufficient to meet ell his
needs as well IS ofthOse dependent upon
him. Il has not been so, however,
with all who have welded the quill.

rious existence, while Johnson, Gold

Meantime, hordes of outlaws have
taken possession of the deserted towns

The government hiss had coined a
large number of new one-cent pieces.
These coins are doubtless for use among
the working men who voted the repub-
lcsn ticket last fall and who are now
eIrniug pennies where they once earned
nckles or dimes. How many of the
wsge-earners in the country stop to think
that while the tariff fxers in Congress
have been increasing taxes on the plea
of projecting" the lsboripg man every
addition to the tariff rates on food,
clothing, utensils. medicines and other
necesssries of living, by so much as such
additions increase prices actually reduces
the wage of the lsboring man? Under
the pies of helping Workingmen, as we'll
say the Philadelphia Record, the stand
pat,ers have couspired to plumber them.

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 5. 1909.

TIE question Of the legal status Oh
men deserving their families is no" De-
log discussed by some Of the state news
papers. Virginia has statute MAKING
deser!iou and non-support miSdemesn-
or and under which q recreant husband
NAV be arrested aud required to give
bond that be will divide bis wages or
s,lary with the wife or 90 10 jail as an
alternative. A jurist in one of the cities
of the state has held that 3 man who
b,s once been arrested and has been re-
assd on bond cannot be punished If be
again deserts. Such a construction rem
ders the law useless as deterrent upon
non.support. The Salem Times-Regi''
ter suggests a statute making deSertiop
of a wife or dependent children BY the
busbspd or of husband or dependent
children by the wife felony, and says
a man who deserts his horse or his COW
and leaves the animal to suffer the
psugs of hunger or thirst may be pun
i,bed by law for such cruelty, but man
NAV walk of aud leave wife and de-
Osndent children without subjecfine
himself to punishment of any kind
Continuing the Times-Register says;
Would It DOT be wise for our legisls'
tors 10 make the act of desertion a GRIM
inal offense. The marriage cannot bt
solemnized except in pursuance OF law
Would it not be wise that a separation
could not take place except in pursuance
oflsw. II a couple are unhsppilV mar
ried and desire separation, make a Law
40 that the separation can be had In pur'
suance of law by petition to the court Il
decree the separation, fix the rights suc
responsibilities of the parties to the
marriage, and provide for the support o.
the Offspring. Let the law make 1t al
ofense for either man or woman to de-
SeTt, ana NIKE Iuo Pouai'y oS'S'S w.
and it will briog our young married
people to sense of The responsibilities
they assume when they enter msiri
moDy.
Commenting upon the above the Dan
vile Register says:
There is sound sense 10 this sugges
ton. While thoughtful men are seek
ing to limit the evil of divorce, excep
upon the gTsvest provOcstion, it might
be we'll TO consider some action to pre-
vent desertiOD, which is the most fire
quent cause of divorce. 1t would tend
10 deter men or women from hastily
assuming the marriage relation, snd
weuld enforce regard for it when once
assumed. Provision can be made fOl
separation by consent which would en-
tail no such penalty as that provided In
the contemplated statute. Let US have
q more drastic law sgsinst desertion as 8
means of limiting this abuse.
