SCARLET FEVER
AND WHOOP|NG
COUGH HALT SUIT
Mrs. ROwe's Habeas to Recover
Children Held Up Pending
Their Illness.

Scarlet fever and whooping cough
prevented the immediate official settle
ment of the troubles of the Rowe fam
lily in the Court of Chancery today,
where the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Abner Kalisch on behalf of
Mrs. Ada Rowe, of New York city,
against Mrs. Lizette Bate Rowe and
Charles 7. p. Rowe, of 49S Summer
avenue, were practically brought to an
end
Prompted by her mothers love, Mrs.
Ada Rowe began her legal fight for the
possession of her two boys, Clarence
A. and Thornton b., who are in the
custody of the defendants, Mrs. Lizette
Bate Rowe, being the grandmother and

Father In Insane Asylum.
The father of the children Clarence
p. Rowe, is now in the Hospital for the
Insane at Morris Plains. Soon after
the fathers illness had developed, the
children were put to board. first with
strangers and after that with the de-
fendant relatives, as the mother ap-
peared to be unable to care for them.
Since the litigation began, however.
those interested in the boys have de-
cided that it was to their advantage
in material sense to keep them where
they are. This was so reported to the
vice-chancellor today, and he agreed
to sign the necessary order in two
weeks from today. He would have
done so at once, but he was told that
Clarence, who is 6 years old, is down
with scarlet fever and that Thornton,
who is 2 years younger, has the
whooping cough.

LOVE COLD, BURNS
ANEW; OFF WITH
OLD, ON WITH NEW
Accuses Wife in Marriage Strife
Which Brings Another
Man to View.

A strangely contorted romance is re-
vealed through the arrest of Sherman
Baxter of 663 Bloomfield avenue, Mont
clair, whose wife, Bertha. charged him
with assault before Recorder Yost.
Baxter not only denied the assault
charge but unfolded so convincing a
story OF the manner in which his wife,
who is 2S years old and pretty, and his
former partner, who is 20 years old. but
wealthy, had conspired against him
that the recorder dismissed the case.
Mrs. Baxter said that her husband
had threatened to kill her. Baxter said
that the charge was frame up
simply another move on the part of his
wife and aged Thomas Elliott of Will
lam street, Montclair. to get rid of
him.
Elliott, Baxter said induced him to
sell his restaurant in Upper Montclair
and to move to the present address on
Bloomfield avenue, which he. Elliott,
fitted up at cost of $1,000, covering
this expenditure with chatter mort
gage on the fixtures. Meantime Elliott,
according to Baxter. was buying Mrs.
Baxter such trinkets as flowers,
dresses. canary birds and sewing ma
chimes.
Wife Away Eight Days.
On the pretense that they were going
to Kingston to buy a home for the
three of them, Baxter says Elliott and
Mrs. Baxter departed and were gone
eight days. When they returned they
said they had been visiting sister of
Elliott.
Baxter brought suit against Elliott
for 5000, alleging alienation of his
wifes affections, and according to his
story was Immediately thrown out into
the cold, cold world through the
medium of the chattel mortgage.
The alienation suit will, 1t is believed,
furnish the material for the next scene
in this interesting little domestic
drama.

itary condition. Beginning today a
new system will be inaugurated- A
man with q horse and wagon, to op-
crate as a merchants special, will
start work cleaning alleys in the
business district only. The territory
that he will visit Is from Fourteenth
to Seventeenth streets and from
Second to Eighth avenues. The plan
is to have him clean the alleys in
this section three times a week and
If he finds that he cannot accomplish
this task he will be provided with
additional help. The health inspec-
tor and the commissioner Of public
health and safety will visit person
ally every merchant and urge that
receptacles be provided in which to
deposit paper. Those who keep
horses In this section will be request
ed to remove manure from the boxes
every day. The commissioner will
insist that garbage cans be supplied.
If the proper spirit is shown the al
leys will be kept in first-class condi-
ton. The man who will make the
rounds will be furnished with a
broom, rake and fork. Alleys that
are paved will be swept and those
that are not improved will be -aked.
The merchants special will be in
service during the remainder of the
summer and fall. 1t is anticipated
that the plan will prove a popular
one,
