WIFE MAY SLASH !
HUbbYS CLOTHES
It is Also Legal for Her to
Take All His Money If She
Lives Out in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-A woman
may cut, slash, rip or destroy cloth
ing at will. take the money out of it,
and the law can't touch her, pro-
vided she is wife and the cloth
ing is that of her husband. So de-
clared Municipal Judge Newcomer
in the Desplaines street court when
the case of Mrs. Maggie Wittick
was presented. Charles Wittick, her
husband, had the woman arrested
on a charge Of disorderly conduct.
According to his story, his wife left.
him two months ago, but returned
yesterday and broke into his room.
Finding his Sunday-go-to-meeting
suit hanging in a closet, she cut it,
ripped it, tore it, and put it in such
shape that to appear on the street
in it would make him liable to ar
rest, declared the indignant hus-
band. He wanted a severe penalty
imposed.
81 can't do anything for you," said
Judge Newcomer. Il have no juris-
diction in cause between husband
and wife. 1t is not possible for
wife to steal from her husband un-
der the law. She can either sew on
or cut off the buttons on your trous-
ers, take all your money or break
down your door if you don't admit
her. While she is still your wife,
Mr.. Wittick, l cannot punish her for
what she has DONE"
But l have a bill for divorce
pending against her, your honor"
said Wittick.
"That makes no difference; she
is still your wife,"

JAPS STRIKE IN HONOLULU.
Laborers on Sugar Plantations Want
More Paw

Honolulu, May. 19.-With no pros
pect of receiving recognition from their
employers, the 5000 Japanese plantation
hands on strike in the Hawaiian islands
are politely but firmly standing pat and
they are quietly awaiting developments.
The plantation strike in the islands,
which was begun week ago, was the
result of determined and long standing
agitation on the part of the Japanese
laborers on the sugar estates for an in
crease of wages from SIS to $22.5o a
month.
The Sugar Planters association I'M
Willingly brought about the agitation
by flooding the islands with Japanese
workmen toward the close of last year.
1t was not long before these same
workmen, whom the planters had i'm
ported in order to solve, as they
thought, the labor problem, surprised
their employers by beginning spirited
campaign for the Improvement of their
own condition.

Broom Mans Troubles.

The manufacture of brooms is one of
the industries that has grown from a
very small industry to one of such
magnitude that it covers all sections
of this and many other countries. The
broom is one of the necessaries that
every business man and family is com
PEELED to have, and for this reason it
must always remain an article of pop
ular and general use among the civil
lied and other peoples who set any
value on cleanliness, says Brooms,
Brushes and Handles.
1t is hard to say just when the first
broom was made; but no doubt it was
a bunglesome affair made of twigs,
reeds or some other like material, and
tied to rough stick with some of the
same stuff of which it was part. But
it served the purpose, and that was
something, at least, for decency's sake
and the inventor deserves credit for
this much.
The growth and cultivation of the
broomcorn industry has made possible
the manufacture of brooms on large
scale at a comparatively low price;
furnishing a very desirable material,
and, at the same time, giving employ
ment to many thousands of hand an
nually. Machinery has done consid-
cradle part in the development of the
business as well, and has, at the same
time, made it possible to keep prices
moderate
But of late there have arisen several
matters that have a rather threatening
aspect as regards the price of this com.
modify, and something should be done
TO counterfeit these evils if such they
can be termed. In the first place, the
cost of the broomcorn has increased Sc
that the profits of the manufacturer
particularly the small one, have felt
it keenly; then the price of handles has
increased, due, in great part, to the
scarcity of timber suitable for such
purposes, and last, but not least, is the
increased cost of labor itself.
Regarding the handle question, tn,
only possible relief seems to be in the
adoption of some substitute that will
give the same satisfaction as the pres
emit handle. What this will or can b,
must be studied out; perhaps aluminium
OF something similar.
The broomcorn question seems abou
as difficult as the other two, and it il
one of the all-important consideration
and must be met.
These are some of the consideration
that must soon confront the broom
manufacturer; in fact, they alread,
have to an extent, and they can not b.
met too soon, if we are to have a goot
broom on the market that can be sol,
at reasonable price and at the SAM
time net the manufacturer a fair prof
on his capital invested. Brooms tn
people must have, and brooms they will
get, but there are considerations to b
taken into mind that cannot be over
looked indefinitely.
