man who entered Rector's exclusive
restaurant last Sunday morning, and,
at the point of tevolvers, gathered in
$500, was himself stuck up" one min
ute later and robbed Of every cent Of
the loot.
This unique turn taken in the daring
robbery case has resulted in the arrest
of William LOTUS, a saloon keeper, who
furnished the revolvers which Willard
used.
Willard, Roy saisl'ne, and Harry An
derson have confessed that they engi-
neered the "hold-up," but the police
could find none OF the money. Willard
swore that the instant he left the res
taurant, after robbing 1t. he was seized
by three men, who hustled him across
the street into an alleyway and took
all the loot from him. This story Is
borne out by passing policeman, who
thought three plain clothes men were

three professional stick up" men to
wait for Willard and rob him as soon as
he had robbed the restaurant.

GOULD WOULD BAR
THE MOTHER-|N-LAW
No Right In Mans Home
Without His
Consent.

A mother-in-law has no right in a
mans home unless by his consent. ac-
cording to Justice Gould, of the Dis
trict Supreme Court.
The court gave this opinion today in
divorce case in which IT was alleged
that a mother-in-law was the cause Of
the domestic difficulties. Mrs A. Golden
v. Springmann was the plaintiff against
Elmo 8. Springmann.
Answering the allegations made by
his wife, Springmann. through his cOun-
sci, Campbell Darlington, charged that
first he was made to clean up around
the house, then wash dishes and, lastly,
do the family washing.
"It was when II came to doing the
family washing that this young man
rebelled,' stated Attorney Darlington.
His wife Is great big, robust woman:
weighing over 200 pounds, and he did
not think it was up to him to scrub
clothes.
There could be a reconciliation ex-
cept for the mother-in-law. Mr.. Spring
mann had divorce suit pending against
his wife in Baltimore, and she has one
against him in the District of Columbia,
but both would be dropped and the cou-
pie could take a new start except for
the wife's mother, who persists in living
with her daughter"

TO Boston for interment. Complete ar
rangements for the funeral have not
been announced.
Mr.. Peabody's death was expected and
his fiaucee, Miss Edith Deacon, was

he obtained a divorce on the ground
Of 0esertion in 1907.
Three times the marriage OF Mr.
Peabody and Miss Deacon had been
postponed by his illness. Some say

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

The term household economics or do
nestle science is usually misunderstood,
or at least only partially understood. A
girl studying domestic science does not go
to college merely to learn to cook. but
rather to study every department of the
profession of homemaking. A physician
does not attend medical college merely TO
learn one branch of medicine, but rather
to gain as accurate knowledge as pos
sible of the entire anatomy of the human
body, the ills 1t is her to and the very
best methods of remedying them. The
