MRS. ZITA M. DUSENBERRY
SUES FOR NON-SUPPORT.
Breaks Umbrella Over Head on
Last Refusal of Aid.

A complaint charging non-support,
filed with Oyerseer of the Poor Bald
win today by Mrs. Zita NJ. D~usenberry
against Leslie Il. Dusenberry, came as
a climax to al interesting series OF
Dusenberry events.
Mrs. Dusenberry recently consulted
0verseer OF the Poor Baldwin concern
ing the proper course to take. She said
that her husband had consistently re-
fused to support her; thai their B.
months-old baby died last Wednesday
from lack of nutrition, and that she
had been put out OF her home, at 100
Stone street, and forced to live with
her mother, Mrs. Harry Totten, at 4s1
Broad street.
Overseer Baldwin advised Mrs. Dus-
enberry to make a final appeal to her
husband for support, and, if 1t failed,
to secure a complaint alleging nom
support. While acting upon this ad-
vice Mrs. DusenEerry awaited her hus-
band outside of the Westinghouse
works yesterday. When he came
she asked him what he proposed to 10.
According to Mrs. Dusenberry her hus-
bands answer was unsatisfactory and
insulting. She proceeded to break the
umbrella she carried yer his head,

The Commuters' League of New Jer-

Referring to Governor Forts mac

but that Is evidently all We are to get
from him.
He acts like a man who H.

been robbed Of mis- best intentions hy

that OF the railroads or his ambition

Governor Carroll.

Iowa Methodist: In the issue of
the Iowa Methodist Immediately pre-
ceeding the primary election OF June,
1908. appeared an editorial heartily
commencing the candidacy of Hon. B.
F. Carroll for governor. Our paper is
a religious publication and therefore
non-partisan, but its editor claims the
right as an individual citizen, to IA
vor such men for public Offices as will
be credit to the state. We endorsed
Mr. Carroll as christian gentle
man whose splendid record for faith
fulness and efficiency in the state SEN
ate and as auditor of state, had dem
onstrated his eminent fitness for the
office Of governor. The Republicans
of Iowa gave him remarkably large
majority at the primary election snd
he has fully met their expectations as
1 the executive of the state. AS 1t is
I customary to give the occupant OF
/ that Office second term, Governor
Carroll is again a candidate for nom
4 nation 1t is surprising that there
/ should be an organized opposition tc
i his denomination as he has not iden
tilted himself with any party fac
tons To defeat him for a SECOND
term would be discreditable to the
political party to which for many
4 years he has been loyal and hon
ored member. We do not favor hi!
candidacy because he is a Methodist
but primarily because he Is public
official OF ability and integrity and de
serving denomination from his party
We urge all readers of our paper er
, titled to vote as Republicans at tn
primary to support Governor Carol
and thereby endorse the record of
r good and faithful stryant"

There is one citizen of this congress

man Charles A. Kennedy. This gen.
tleman remains steadfastly at his post
in washington, attending diligently to
the duties which he undertook
when the oath of office was admins
tered to him. Every member OF
congress from Iowa, with the excep-
ton OF Mr.. Kennedy, is stumping his
district in an effort to obtain the
denomination. Both of the Iowa sena-
tors are or have been touring and can
yassing the state for political ends.
Kennedy remains in Washington, the
sole remaining working member OF
the delegation from great state to
the greatest law-making and business
body in the world. Congressman Ken
nedy's colleagues are looking after
their political fences; Congressman
Kennedy is looking after the interests
OF his constituents which is TO say
that he is doing his duty and earning
his salary. Congressman Kennedy If
