STRANGE AND SAD
ARE TALES TOLD BY
ABANDONED WIVES
One Husband Deserts After
'Thirty-one Years-Another
Too Free With Kisses.

Despite the Police Department. activ-
Ay in rounding up wife deserters, this
evil continues, and several cases daily
reach the Juvenile Court.
Yesterday an aged pair was in court.
The defendant was John Nash, 100S1a
Sixth street southwest. He is fifty
eight years old and had left his wife
and eight children three years ago.
When arraigned Nash said he was
unable to work on account of heart
trouble. Mrs. Nash brought the court
20 silence when she told her story.
I'VE have been married thirty-one
years and until three years ago no
home was happier than ours" she said.
I'VE have eight children. five Of whom
are grown and the other three de-
pendent upon me and the older chill
dren for support. 1 can't understand
why my husband should have left u.s."
Nash gave as his excuse that his
wife expected too much money from
him now, when he was old, and that
what he made was not half enough,
and that he thought best TO go himself.
Judge De Lacy sentenced him to serve
six months in the workhouse, but the
wife, with tears IN her eyes, pleaded
Judge De Lacy then told them to go
into an adjoining room to talk 1t over'
and then come back and he would re-
consider. The conference resulted In
the faithful promise by Nash that he
would never again leave his family. He
took the oath to refrain from liquor for
a year. Nash his wife, and one daugh-
ter then went their way rejoicing.
Another case was that of Simon Ran
dolph, of Anacostia, father of nine chill
dren. who had deserted his family. The
wife said he was overfond of hugging
and kissing and had the grizzly be;tr
hug" and grizzly bear kiss" down pat.
She said the hug was a very tight
embrace and that the kiss was a sort
of a triple affair; one on each cheek
and one on the lips in rapid succession.
There was no complaint on the score
that he had praSticed these osculatory
abnormalities at home. however.
The husband said his wife was only
Jealous and that the only outsiders he
ever had kissed were a few Of his
wife's friends and cousins. He was Or
dered to pay his wife "a a week.

ANASOSIlAg -. u, JOLt ~
The, Commissioners Of the District and
the managers of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company are still in
disagreement over the double-tracking
Of the Congress Heights branch of the
railroad company's system, between
Anacostia and Congress Heights, and
the citizens Of the latter suburb, who
have been instrumental in securing ac-
ton up to the present stage, believe
that the prospect of securing the addi-
tional street car facilities Is not encour-
aging in the absence of legislation Dy
Congress. A committee Of the Pubic
improvement Association of Congress
Heights has again conferred with Com
missioner Judson regarding the matter
with the effect Of learning that the
Commissioners will insist upon their
views being carried out. Gen. George
H. Harries, OF the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, has answered
the associations late communication on
the subject by the statement that the
company will adhere to what 1t believes
to be a proper attitude In the matter.
The deadlock has come about through
the question Of the paving OF Nichols
avenue, along which the single track
Is now laid. The Commissioners insist
that the railroad company shall pave
eleven feet of roadway on the west
side of the highway, now practically
unused, as 1t is to have a similar space
for Its tracks on the cast side Of the
street. This the company has declined
to do, consequently the permit for the
work Is held up. Citizens of Congress
Heights, fearing that nothing can be
accomplished through the means en-
ployed by them to date, say they will
