NEWELL IS FINED.
Wichita Contractor Promises to Send
Money to Family.

James H Newell. the Wichita con-
tractor who left his wife and babies for
peka today to answer a state charge un-
der the delinquent parent act; pleaded
man must also send his wife SIS a month
Tor the support of the children.

Wichita, Mrs. Newell claims, and this
complication of domestic relations de-
stroyed the happiness in two homes Mrs.
Newell and the four children came to
Topeka The "other woman's'' husband
left home and never came back; and
money on the second woman. The sec
ono woman had silk dresses. a horse and
PPTV{g aS and theater tickets. all at the
For more than year Mrs. Newell had
Struggled through prosperity and adj
Versity-rnostly adversity-in an effort to
keep the children together. Then she
swore to complaint against her once
fond companion She told of letters
which she found In husbands possession.
They were written by the "other wo-
man. and were enlivened with endearing
blush.
When Newell came to Topeka today. he
went at once to his wife's home, 424
children and his former love, Mrs Newell
today refused to repeat. Doubtless there
was something OF reconciliation, but It
didn't reach the point where Mrs. Newell
invited the contractor to bring his trunk
home.
Mrs. Newell walked to the court house
with her husband and there Newell was
as meek as lamb. He was guilty of all
the complaint charged, he said. and when
the couple reached the office of Probate
Judge SchOch. Newell entered a plea of
guilty. He was fined 500 and costs, but
didn't complain. Then Judge Schoch said
that the contractor should send s25 a
month to Topeka for the support of the
four children. Again Newell was sub
missive and entered never a protest.
When Newell explained to the court
that he was a busy man and would have
to work for the $25 a month. the court
granted a parole and Newells first check
for the children is to come December l.
in plenty of time for Christmas.
But, away down in Newelrs heart,
there were sore spots that would not
heal He objected most bitterly to the
newspaper reports of his domestic COM
plications and many loves.
Down at Wichita" Newell wrathfu1ly
told an assistant in the county attorneys
office. they spread my troubles all over
the newspaper. What was the result7
Why, I lost my job
Then Newell ground his teeth and
looked daggers out of a pair of coal black
eyes. Evidently Newell was reviewing in
his mind the joy he would find in
eating a few dozen insignificant newspa-
per reporters.
After the formality of pleading guilty
was at an end. Newell walked from the
building and to the depot Solemnlv he
promised to be good-and Mrs. Newell
gave a deep sigh of relief in the thought
that the responsibility of supporting the
family of five would not fall entirely on
her shoulders.

POSTAL BONDS BELOW PAR.
First Sale Brings Only 92N for 215
Per Cent Bonds.

New York, Nov. THE first sale of
United States government 215 per cent
bonds, issued through the postal savings
banks department, has just been made
on the market here. the bonds fetching
only 9214. 1t was realized BY bankers from
the time that the first of these postal
savings bonds were issued, that they
would not be worth par but the sale at
921A has put lower valuation on them
than some government bond dealers ex-
pected.
1t thus appears that the small depositor
who takes bonds at par must hold his
bonds until maturity, twenty years hence,
or, if forced to realize on his holdings,
must accept heavy loss on his principal
For example, the holder of $500 of these
212 per cent bonds who bought them last
July for $500, has now sold them for $685.

Lacrosse. Nov. 7.-Omcial interpre-
tation from the treasury department

provision of the federal laws regulat-

tariff act of 1909 in a manner crafty
ing to flour manufacturers of the

The department ruling, contained in
q letter to Congressman Esch and the
Listman Mill company of this city is,
in its important provisions, in part as
follows:

paid thereon and the flour and by
products produced therefrom export
ed, with the benefit of drawback equal
to 80 per cent of the duty paid, under
section 25 of the tariff act August 5,
1909.
IN operating under this section it is
not necessary to bond the mill, but
the duties must be paid on the wheat
imported.
'This wheat may be milled in con-
junction with domestic wheat and the
drawback obtained. The amount of
retained by the government, is dis
tributed to the flour and the by-prod-
ucts according to the relative values
thereof If the flour and all by-prod-
ucts are exported, the entire 80 per
cent of the duty is refunded. If the
flour alone is exported and the by
products are retained in this country,
only a portion of the duty is refund
ed, the amount refunded depending on
the relative values of the flour and
several by-products.
Wheat also may be imported and
mil1ed in bond under section % of the
tariff act of August 5, 1909. In this
case no duty is paid on the imported
wheat but the mill must be bonded
and the milling done under govern
ment supervision. storekeeper
should be provided and the expenses
would have to be betrayed by the par
