HUBBY GAVE HER
TEN CENTS A DAY
Mrs. Stein Couldn't Make Ends Meet
and Carried Trouble To Divorce
Court-Several DEGREES Granted.
COUNT TOSTOY.

Just how her husband, Joseph
Stein, expected her to keep house on
10 cents day in these days of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff, Mrs. Minnie
Stein was unable to explain, but in
divorce court, Saturday morning, sue
testified that. one dime per day was
all Joseph gave to her with which to
keep the house going and clothe her
self The attempt was failure and
at the end of Ave months, Mrs. Stein
left home. Judge Hosmer assured
her that she was quite justified and
gave her a decree.
Lillian Merritt, the rather pretty
wife of William c. Merritt, at differ
ent times a barber, saloonkeeper and
now a Michigan Central brakeman,
was granted a decree and the right
to resume her maiden name OF Lillion
Leonard. She charged her husband
with drunkenness and cruelty, alleg-
ing that he struck her and called her
vii enames. She testified that once,
while i'll, she went to her mothers
home for care When convalescent
she went to her own home, and found
her husband there with another wo-
man.
She asked for an explanation, and
was told that If she ever mentioned
the matter again she would be killed.
A nurse who cared for Mrs. Merritt
during an illness said she never saw
Merritt sober while she was in the
house, and she never heard him speak
TO his wife without cursing her.
That her husband attempted to
throw her from second-story win
dow was one of the charges made by
Julia against William +. Malaska. She
made other charges of cruelty and
was granted a decree.
Jennie 'Jeffries was quite the daln-
test and most deliberately gowned
woman in the court as she tripped TO
the stand. She wore a light-colored
tight-fitting coat of latest cut, pretty
tan shoes, and an elaborate hat of
white. Mrs. Jeffries said she was mar
ried to Percy Jeffries in Los Angeles,
in 1906 They lived for six weeks in
a hotel in great style. and then went
to Mrs. Jeffries' home to live, where
1t become necessary for the wife's
mother to supply the food. Later
Jeffries went to San Francisco and
never returned. Mrs. Jeffries Is now
a resident of Detroit. Decree granted.
Mrs. Henrietta Colborne testified
that her husband, John H., came
home 'soused" one day, carrying a
bottle of beer. He was unable TO
find a cork-screw so he beat his wife
with the bottle, inflicting bruises that
required the attention of a physician.
She was given a decree

LOOKS LIKE PHELAN
WITHOUT FIGHT
Recorders Popularity and. Fine Rec
ord on Bench Make Opposition
For Reelection improbable.

Barring the scattering olleys Of re-
count talk, and the various post-mor-
TENS on promising political careers,
nipped in the bud, the political atmos-
phere is now cleared until the begin
ming OF hostilities for the spring judi
cial elections, TO be held Mondoy,
April 3, 1911.
The early-and-late Proctor Knott
Owens has already announced his in
tention Of running for the circuit
bench, which presages the injection
OF little hilarity in usually rather
prosaic campaign.
In addition TO the judges of the cir
cult bench. one police justice, and
both Recorder James Phelan, and
Judge William F. Connolly, OF the re-
corder's court, will be up for re-elec-
ton.
1t is already being freely gossiped
that Judge Phelan will have no oppo-
sition in his campaign for reelection.
Two previous elections have seen
the sacrifice of some ambitious young
Republican lawyer-politician who has
heard the call of his party to make
the run for recorder"-for advertising
only. But in each instance Judge
Phelans majority, in Republican and
Democratic strongholds alike, has
rolled along in a way to discourage
even the campaigner for advertising
only"
Talk OF opposition for the popular
recorder comes and goes, while Judge
Phelan sits serenely upon a record OF
sustained decisions in which the peo-
pies interests have been well guarded.
Judge Phelan Is occasionally over
ruled by the supreme court. A recent
instance was in the Lois Mole case,
where the trial judge, acting upon
discretion in preference to statutes,
placed the child in custody. under
very heavy bail, which was promptly
reduced by the supreme court. But
no case In recent years aroused such
storm of public sentiment as did
the succeeding trial OF the ehild's
father. In his behalf the little girl
perjured herself. Judge Phelan's
overruled decision was intended as a
guard against that very contingency.
In the forty-four odd cases against
the ID. U. r., involving the sale of
worklngmen's tickets on the Jefferson
line, Judge Phelan's decision, which
was assailed vainly, has been the big
gest real victory of the city, in the
many years OF litigation with the
street car company.
Judge Phelan numbers some OF his
strongest supporters among Republic
cans who do not believe in peanut
politics but In the man for the posi-
ton"

SAYS PROHIBITION
WAVE HAS BEGUN
To RECEOE
E. w. Mason Admits Temperance
Cause Is Losing Ground, But Pre-
diets Big Revival in Movement
Within Few Years.
Consumption of Liquor Greater Than
Ever, He Declares-Denial From
Supt. Morrow.

The prohibition wave il receding,
but 1t will be only a matter OF time
until II returns in another form,
said f. w. Mason, campaign manager
for the State Prohibition committee,
TO The Times.
That the temperance cause Is los
ing ground is evident from the re-
suits OF the recent election, the 'drys'
having lost Florida, Oregon and many
other states.
1T was apparent last spring that
the reaction had set in. when Illinois
and other states turned against local
option. States which had been dry
for years went back into the wet
column The temperance workers
have quit and will now take a rest,
After they have rested a while they
will jump back into the fight with
renewed vigor This has been the
history of every temperance move
ment since 1903, when the first move
ment for prohibition started. AT that
time people signed a pledge TO refrain
from the use OF liquor, except on cleo
lions and holidays.
Different movements followed, with
the result that the United States was
practically dry at one time. Micht
gan was totally dry for about 20
years, from the early SOS to the early
7O's. Then the prohibition cause was
defeated by an unfair Legislature. The
vote showed that there was a major
ity OF 1,l56 for the continuance of
temperance In the state, but the hg-
ures were handled In such a manner
that the state was declared wet Eff
forts were made on the floor OF the
legislature 10 have the vote reviewed,
but the legislature overruled the mo-
ton. The Prohibitionists were pre-
pared to show that in Gogebic county
there we're over 1000 more votes cast
on the matter OF prohibition than
there were peoRle in the county. Yet,
In face of this evidence, the legis-
lature refused to act.
81 am firmly convinced that the
reaction has set In on the most recent
movement, yet II is fact that we AM
one and one-tenth per cent better In
Michigan. this year than ever before
However, there Is no denying the fact
that the wave is receding in other parts
OF the Union. But We are not discour-
aged In spite OF the showing. FOR we
expect such reactions, In view or the
history OF the movement. Our candi-
date for mayor this year, George w.
Pierce. polled about 600 votes more
than the normal showing. Yet he was
away behind the vote given DIR. Low

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.
No. 578.

F. Irving Fletcher, clever adj
vertising writer as well as a much
sought after contributor to pub
locations because of his ability to
write short stories, is intensely in
terested in the subject of adver-
Using.
He comes to my home oc-
casionally and we discuss adver-
Using from every standpoint. I
asked him the other day to write
me a story on why Doctors
Should Advertise" Here is what
he sent me:
Should doctors advertise? Emphat-
ically yes! The day is passing when
a shingle and a smattering OF Latin
will suffice. Think OF the doctors
who, outside OF a speaking acquaint-
ance with materia medica, don't know
any more about the science OF medi-
cine. broadly applied, than wood
pecker does about the rule OF three.
Get 1t out OF your head that the
medical profession has not the same
proportion OF incompetents as any
other profession There are good
plumbers and bad, good doctors and
bad. And don't overlook the fact
that, whilst a man can survive a bad
piece of plumbing, bad piece OF doc
toring Is liable to finish him altogeth-
er.
II is a profession in which there is
no comeb back. THIS IS REASON
ENOUGH WHY A MAN SHOULD
BE CAREFUL IN HIS SELECTION
OF A DOCTOR, AND REASON
ENOUGH WHY "A GOOD DOCTOR
SHOULD BE BlROA NDED
ENOUGH 10 TAKE THE PUBLIC
INTO HIS CONFIDENCE.
II want TO insure the title to my
house, employ reputable title com.

whether he will keep me In bed ms
long as he n, first because he needs
experience, and second because he
needs the money.
When a mans appendix develops a
tendency to be fashionable. is It not
natural that he should want to en-
ploy the best talent available? Now

WIFE TRIES TO DIE
Famous Russian Commoner Disap-
peared From Home Oct. 10, Leav-
ing No Trace of Destination.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Specials from
Moscow today declare no trace has
yet been found OF Count Leo Tolstoy,
who has fed from his home for an
unknown destination, with the state
ment that he intended TO spend his
last days in solitary retirement.
Reuters News Agency today re-
ports that Countess Tolstoy has made
two unsuccessful attempts to kill her
self In her grief over her husbands
disappearance. Tolstoy disappeared
Oct. 10.
The countess. yesterday. walked out
on the frozen surface OF pond on
the Tolstoy estate and preclpitated
herself through hole in the ice. Be
cause of her depressed spirits, she
has been closely watched, and SER
wants who saw her fall, ran to her
rescue. Later in the day the countess,
II is said, evaded their care and
made a second attempt to drown her
self, but was again saved by her ser
wants, who missed her almost as soon
as she left the house and who ran to
the pond, suspecting that she had
gone there to end her life.
Tolstoy's family today organized ex-
tensive search parties and are MAX
ing strenuous efforts to locate the
missing novelist
In a letter which he left for his
wife when he disappeared, Tolstoy
wrote:
II cannot continue longer to live
surrounded by luxury. Like many
other old men, / retire from the world
to contemplate my life in solitude.

of sojourn. and that you do not come
to it If it is discovered. l beg forgive

The novelist's reference of living
amidst luxurious surroundings Is TAX
en- by many to indicate that his III
is unbalanced, in view of the poverty
with which he has surrounded him

III for some time. He has been SUI
