WIFE SOBs AS SHE
TELLS OF BEATINGs
Mrs. Dobie Goldstein, Seeking Di-

Shamefully for Years.

Mrs. Dobie Goldstein shook with
sobs In Judge Donovan's court, Mon
day morning. as she recounted the
years OF cruelty she said she endured
as the wife of Joseph Goldstein, and
II was with difficulty that she re-
gained her composure sufficiently TO
give her evidence. Mr.. Goldstein.
who is contesting her suit for divorce,
gazed about the room abstractedly
during his wife's recital. and was ap-
parently little moved by her tale.
The Goldsteins were married In
Russia, II years ago. Mrs. Goldstein
endured daily beating, she said. until
she could stand II no longer, and then
went to England. Her husband fol
lowed, and his conduct was soon as
bad as ever.
"Did you ever call policeman to
protect you7" asked her husbands at
torney.
"No. I was ashamed to-" she re-
piled, but the neighbors interfered,
and a woman grabbed q stone and
wanted to kill him."
"As a matter OF fact isn't your hus-
band SO crippled with rheumatism,
that he cannot beat your asked the
attorney again. :,
''Ninety-hve per cent brandy Is all
that bothers him." she replied, de-
claring that he drank strong liquor
continually.

that he had ever struck his wife, and
declared that what trouble they had
was started by the wife's mother.

DECISION HELD UP
in ]. R. HAYES CASE
Wayne Hotel Proprietor Accused Of
Employing Women in Cafe
Where Liquor Is Sold.

The case OF James r. Hayes. pro-
prietor of the Wayne hotel, who is
charged in police court with employ
ing women musicians in place where
liquor Is served. was tried before Po-
lice Justice Stein. Monday morning.
The court reserved decision until next
Friday. $780, --------
State Factory Inspectors Diehie and
Smith testified that music was pro-
vided in the Wayne pavilion by the
Straub Sisters orchestra, and that II
is contrary to the law because liquor
is served in the pavilion.
Mr.. Hayes took the stand and testi
fed that the orchestra was a part of
the entertainment OF the hotel. He
said the Straub sisters provided music
for the entertainment of his diners.
He declared that properly speaking,
the women did not play In the rooms
where liquor Is served. They sit on
a platform midway between cafe
and the pavilion.
IL cannot see why the inspectors
selected the Wayne hotel to try out
this matter" said Judge Stein. There
are several places OF questionable
character where women are employed
and where liquor is served. A man Is
perfectly safe In taking his wife or
daughter to the Wayne. There is
never anything questionable or OBJ
jechonable there. These women who
play there are all refined ladies'"

MAYOR IS AWAY,
SECRETARY FUMES
Ernie Kurz Incensed That Commit
mittee Fails To Buy Brick His
Boss Recommends.

Because OF the absence OF three
members, the council committee on
streets did not take up the brick ques-
tion In itH 4fegplar meeting, Monday
morning. but postponed consideration
OF It until 10 o'clock, Tuesday morn
ing. The most important matter to
be considered in this connection Is
the mayors communication, Urging
the purchase of guaranteed brick out
side the existing contracts. This is
likely to provoke a lively discussion,
as Public Works Commissioner Haarer
has declared that the mayor has moth
ing to do with the purchase OF brick
for the city.
"The brick is all ordered for this
year." he declares.
Mayor Thompson Is out Of the city
today. but Secretary Ernest w. Kurz,
who writes the veto messages and
has the brick situation at his finger
tips, Is on the job. He was consider
ably agitated, Monday morning. over
the street committees failure TO act
promptly on the offer OF the Wiscon-
sin Lime & Cement Co., TO furnish the
city 100000 Of brick, guaranteed to
stand the mayors test The offer no
longer holds good, the company hav-
ing wired the mayor that itlhas found
q market for the brick elsewhere.
This company has put 5000. geo
brick into Chicago In one year and the
brick showed only 16 per cent abra-
sion In the rattler tests" said Kurz.
I'VE had a chance to get some OF the
same Kind of brick and the streets
committee, with its dilatory tactics,
lets It go by. That's what call
sloppy work"
Mr.. Kurz announces that the usual
veto OF paving brick bills will be forth
coming, Tuesday night.
A visitor to the mayors ONCE had
the temerity to defend Commissioner
Haarer In the secretary's hearing and
the latter went up IN the air.
'Tf the mayor had the power, he'd
fire Haarer In three minutes" he
fumed. "It ism I true that the mayor
is after Haarer's Job for the sake OF
the patronage. II you were a business
man and you had a man In charge or
one o. your departments who bought
rotten material against your protests,
how long would It take you to get rid
of him."
The rattler will be put In commits
sion again, Tuesday. and Boiler In
spector McCabe will make tests OF
metropolitan block for the mayor and
OF Townsend block for the department
of public works.
"If the Metropolitan brick stands
the test will the department buy that
brick?' was asked Porter Murphy, Sec
retary Of the department.
mo, Il will not The brick are all
bought for this year." was the prompt
reply.
In defense OF tho commissioner, bis
friends in the city hall point out that
foundations which seemed to be In
good shape when streets were resur-
faced with brick have since gone TO
pieces, with the result that the pave
ments are In bad shape II was an
error in judgment on the commission
er's part, but he has profited by the
mistake and In resurfacing pavements
now he is putting on a new layer con-
crete over the old foundations, which
for the most part are OF natural ce-
ment.
