claims that four years ago, during the
winter and spring, the former Senator

life of his wife as miserable and
wretched as possible. Conditions became
such that after a long period OF abuse
he turned both his wife and daughter
out of the house. at the same time.

make her life as unbearable as pos
sible. On another occasion the former
politician, SO il is alleged, came home
one night and wanted to borraw some
money from his wife's aunt. He was
refused and then vented his rage on
Mrs. Rogers by grabbing her by the
throat with such force that her head
went back and her combs were Violent
Iy thrown from her hair. During this
little scene the husband is alleged TO
have said: Nov scream, / wan some
one to come in here. / feel Just like
fighting"
Mrs. Rogers sets out that she was In
constant fear of personal injury. and,
after becoming a physical wreck, she
fled to the GUS occupied by her chill
dren. She claims that the hatred of
her husband toward her Is so great
1t would be unsafe to return to
him and live with him as his wife.

MAKING THE RIVERS WORK.
Americans Should Emulate Germany in
Utilizing Natural Resources.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Two factors enter Into the greater
efficiency Of the German waterways.
Imperial appropriations, devoted to a
system of light-draught channels, have
extended over a scheme Of great dimen-
stons and have opened the way for
river navigation far into the interior Of
h country. Individual enterprise. APP
preciating the advantages of river
courses for commerce. a conceived
and constructed boats adapted to the
available d~raught. This Is ''utilfza-
ton" contrasting with development
A third factor, distinct from either ma
tional or individual enterprise, has beer
n local encouragement given to river
commerce. Wherever, along q German
river, there is a city of two or three.
thousand people there is a shiphaven
for the river boats. This Is built In
part by the state and in part by the
city. The shiphayen consists OF q
dredged basin. surrounded by a dixie to
protect 1t against floods, and within
the dixie, n on a quay, a public ware
u Direct railway connection is
furnished. the latest equipment for
loading and unloading and transferring
cargoes fs installed, and the Individual
shipper, great or small, Is afforded the
benefit of the latest and most complete
methods and appliances for freight
handling. At the harbor Of Ruhrort-
Duisbork, where Westphalian coal
comes to the water, the installation of
improved loading equipment at the,
public docks saved SITS on every 1000
tons of coal, and there are 49, 00, 900
tons shipped from that port every year.
American riverside cities confess In
fact, If not in words. that they cannot
do these things. Why? The Germans
do 1t. and without assessing the gem
eral funds of the PUBLIC. Breslau spent
$1,000, 900 on a port equipment, and pro-
vided for the interest and principal by
a sinking fund created through a slight
charge on traffic benefiting by the I'm
proyement. Bremen spent $50, 000, 900 In
deepening the Weser and constructing
port-havens, and Will redeem Its bonds
by charges on the traffic thu benefited.
American cities do not undertake such
great public works because the citizens
will not trust their own Representa-
tive" local governments with such re-
sponslbilities. Americans fall to utilize
