DESERTED WIVES LOOKING
FOR MAYNARD HUSBANDS

Pittsburg. Jan. 27.-Deserted wives
in great numbers have appeared at
the Central police station within the
last few days asking aid in the loca-
ton of their mates. Tuesday eight
weeping women told their stories and
one man reversed the tale by asking
the police to find his wife. Yesterday
five more women appeared and ap-
piled to the detectives. Captain VIM.
Gilmore, is authority for the state
ment that a wave of wife desertion is
sweeping over the city.
About half of the disrupted couples
are childless and the others have
large families.
The childless couples, after an in
vestigation, were shown to be the bet
ter off. but those couples with large
families found the struggle of life was
hard. Captain Elmore believes that
the increased cost of living has some
thing to do with the desertions.

States probabl~ exceed those of any
other country in the world. 1t may be
chat the American has never learned the
lesson of discipline, of the necessity OF
absolute obedience to orders. A story in
the last issue of the Saturday Evening
Post illustrates the lack of this trait
most strongly when an American com
mander of a lighthouse boat is placed
over a Scot as a mate and an Irishman as
a chief engineer. Order No. 113, the
name of the story, was never to leave
moorings On a stormy night a life boat
containing the wife of the mate passed
the lighthouse vessel on the raging sea.
The commander was for going. to the
rescue. but the mate and the chief en-
gineer steadfastly refused to disObey
order No 113 and the mates wife and
the others from stranded steamer
were lost. a wild shrill whistle came
through the noise Of the storm. 1t was

old, was playing on the street car track
in front of ia Aurora" candy store,
she was run down by a street car and
was instantly killed, the car passing
over her body and cutting both her legs
off from the trunk The conductor and
motorman are in Jail pending an in

On Sunday afternoon, Antonio Tueme
came very near being killed, havin~ been
knocked from a rapidly moving street
car He had stepped out onto the run
ming board which nuns along the side OF
the car with the intention of changing
his seat. In making the change he
leaned out too far and was hit by an
electric light pole. He had a deep cash
cut in his head and his hip was badly
bruised.

1t has just been learned here that an
attempt was made to wreck the special
train bearing the American and Canadian
journalists, at small station OF Guada-

of conductor Coffev and engineer Craig.
Engineer Craig was feeling his way
along down the slope and on nearing
the switch he discovered a pile of rocks
on the track and upon further investiiga-
ton it was found that the switch had
been cooked" and had the train been
going at usual speed, it is almost i'm
possible to estimate the damage which
would have been done.
The knowledge of the affair was kent
from the members of the party and was
at once reported to the police at Zaca-
