FORMER OFFICER
GETS PROBATION
Magistrate DeferS Hearing OF
Former Lieutenant jenkins
on NOnsuppOrt Charge

OAKLAND. Oct. Percy T. jenkins,
= former lieutenant in the United States
army and a son Of the late Admiral
Jenkins. was arraigned this morning
before Police Judge Samuels on a
charge of failure to provide for his
wife and eight children. Inasmuch as
Jenkins and his wife seem about to be
reconciled the magistrate deferred a
preliminary examination until Novem-
Der . and released the erstwhile lieuten-
ant on his own reeognizance. This
virtually puts Jenkins on probation.
The former officer was until recently
employed as a life insurance agent. He
had been a few years ago at the head
Of the weather bureau in San Fran
cisco. for which service his West Point
education fitted him.
Il was while Jenkins was soliciting
insurance that his wife and he sepa-
rated six months ago. The husband
agreed to pay $40 a month for the sup
port OF the family, and a few weeks
ago fell short in his payments. Then
Mrs. jenkins. q daughter Of the late
Judge Darwin Of the district court of
Washington. took work in a mattress
factory TO support her offspring. The
police court officials believe the man
and woman viii resume their life to-
gether eventually, as Jenkins has
pledged himself TO devote 10 his family
four-f Of his income as soon as he
can get employment.

LAFAYETTE TIES
PENNSYLVANIA

franklin Field, Philadelphia, Noyem-
Der 6.-The University of Pennsylvania
was played to a standstill today by
Lafayette. the final score being 8 to g.
Neither team was able to score in the
first half, so powerful was the defense
of each.
A bit of hard luck paved the way
for Lafayette's first score. Scott, the
Pennsylvania fullback, had kick
blocked on his own 1S-yard line, La
fayette recovering the ball. The East
onians had trouble in making the nee
essary distance and each time the ball
was blocked but Lafayette recovered
and retained the ball. Finally COM
bination end run and forward pass
from McCaa to Irmschler scored a
touchdown, from which McCaa kicked
the goal. With the score to 0
against them, Pennsylvania put in three
new backs. 1t was largely through the
individual running of Hutchinson, who
had not been in a scrimmage for three
weeks, that Pennsylvania scored her
touchdown minute before the game
was over. Lafayette had the better of
the game two-thirds of the time.
