After a married life of twenty-four
years, the domestic troubles of Mrs.
Achseh Z. Tseadway and her husband,
CorVil o. Treadway, a Civil War vet
eran, were carried to the superior court
yesterday, when the wife tried to pro-
cure a decree of divorce on grounds OF
cruelty. Her effort was fruitless, but
in order that the couple may live apart
in some degree of comfort the court or
dered that the woman be given the rent
from p house held jointly by them and
that TreadWell be allowed to spend MS
pension as he pleases.
The Treadways live at Ocean Park.
They have 81 been married twenty-four
years and their relations were quite
amicable until two years ago, when the
husband developed a desire to save
money while his wife was visiting in
the east. His first action in his plan
of economy was to rent their home and
take UP bachelors quarters in the barn,
much to Mrs. Treadway's disgust when
she returned, accompanied by a pretty
and fastidious niece. Things went
from bad to worse, Mrs. Treadway said,
until her husband, she says, Threatened
TO shoot her. Then she left nome. A
decree was denied. Mrs. Treadway will
receive 1924 a month. the rental of the
house, and, as Treadway receives the
same amount as pension, the court be-
lieves an equable adjustment of the
case has been reached.

cided that no more intoxicants should
be sold within tbs limits. This resulted
in a failure to provide the necessities OF
life for his family. A decree was
granted.

The Metropolitan Life recently ap-

the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super

active educational campaign by dis
tributing 3,50O.0OO pamphlets among

Ne Friction with United state


One Of the striking features in con-
nection with the building of the Gun
nison tunnel by the United States gov
ernment has been the utter absence
Of labor troubles or strife Of any kind
among the men employed on the work.
Uncle Sam built towns for his en-
ployes at each portal Of the tunnel.
and, while the accommodations were
by no means sumptuous. the men were
made comfortable and given plenty OF
food at q nominal cost at the govern
ment boarding house. Recreation
rooms were provided and many OF the
employees took their families there to
live while the work was going on.
Liquor was strictly barred from the
camps. and there has not been q seri-
Gus disturbance since the tunnel was
started. 1t is in striking comparison
with the ordinary contractors camp.
The work has by no means been
easy. The tunnel was drilled for six
miles through solid rock, and for the
greater part Of the time the men nave
been forced to work in water up to
their ankles. and under a constant
flow from overhead. The work is now
finished and the tunnel will be for
mally opened by President Taft late
in September. 1t will supply water
for 100000 acres of land. large part
of which lies in Delta county, the larg-
est fruit producing section of the
West. Plans are being made by the

tion to give President Taft an automo-
