"WelI. Here Goes"

why did you attempt to jump into

"Oh, | was half crazy over the
trouble I've had. When the police
came to arrest me ] became cra2ed at
the thought that would have to spend
a night in Jail, It drove me out of my
head I don't know what I did"
Mr.. Fergg was before Judge Hahn,
in the First Precinct Police Court, to-
day. e said that he hef 'esn unable

MIR. and Mrs. Fergg have been mar
ried six years. They have a daughter,
Madeline years old. On July %,
last year. Mrs. Fergg charged her hus-
band with non-support He was Or
dered to pay her SO a week. At that
time Mr.. Fergg was paroled to get a
bondsman but, 1t is said, he neglected
to do so. AS he promptly paid the all
mony no further action was taken by
Mrs. Fergg until yesterday, when she
complained to Judge Hahn that he
had not sent her any money for three
weeks 1t was then that the bench
warrant was issued.
Child with Mother.
according to the story of Mrs. Ferge
her husband frequently drove past her
me, 412 South Sixth street, in an au.
tomobile accompanied by other women,
andsthat he would mockingly wave his
hand to her. The child is with the
mother.
MY .omestic troubles have driven
me almost crazy" said Mr.. Fergg to
an Evening STAR reporter from his
cell in the First precinct. Talking
from behind iron bars isn't a pleasant
job, and l assure you it's all misun-
derstanding or l wouldn't be here at
all l am trying to get bonds through
my counsel, Nathan Berger,
The charge my wife has made
against me Is unjust. When she SAYS I
nave been going around with other
women she is mistaken, and especially
when she says 1 take them out in an
automobile, for I haven't any automo-
bile. Once In a while I go out in nv
friends automobile.
THE trouble all started because she
wouldn't get me any breakfast I
gave her an allowance of so much a.
week, and when she didn't get me any
breakfast I cut off part of her money.
Then finally it got so bad that she
wouldn't do any house work whatever,
and I cut her off altogether. That was
In April, 1910, and we haven't lived to-
gether since"

ASKS COURT To
ApNUI MARRIAGE:
FORCED On HIM
Oertly Says Justice Gave Him
Alternative of Bail, Jail
or Altar.

a After backing up on the Witness
stand what he had alleged when he
filed papers through Abner Kallsch
asking for the annulment of his mar
riage, into which he was coerced, he
says, Albert H. Oertly. jr., of % Sea-
bury street, will be called upon next
Friday TO go on with his story, as
Vice-Chancellor Stevens, before whom
- was begun, had another case which
demanded his presence in Morristown
today.
The young woman from whom he
seeks freedom from matrimonial fet-
ters was Miss Annie McCrea, of 10
Madison street. Orange, whom he first
met at a picnic. She is living In the
Orange home with her sister and he
with his mother.
Oertly's story is remarkable and
duplicates Henry Bosset, justice of
the peace, who married the couple
April 4, 1910, after he had been arrest
ed on charge made by the young
woman, who is two years his senior.
He says that her charge was unjust.
Then, so his story runs, the justice de-
manded that he either furnish bail in
$4,000 or go to Jail. AS he could not
furnish the bail and did not relish Jail
he married the girl.
Before Oertly was heard in detail on
these points 1t developed that he was
shy" on So a week alimony since
March last, and the court said that
the case could not go on until he had
made good" This the mother prom
ised to do
"A few days before the marriage"
Oertly testified, Miss McCrea came to
the house, said she wanted to speak to
me and told me, why she wanted to be
married. / laughed, but a few days
afterward l was arrested on the car
where l worked and brought before
Justice Bosset. He told me to marry
the girl right away.
What did you say?" asked his coun-
sci.
II told him l was not guilty of that
foffense," was the answer, "but she
kept pressing the charge and insisted
on my going to prison or marrying her,
ana the justice did the same thing.
Then l married her"

JUDGE GREEN WOULD
ACCEPT THE NOMINATION
As A Candidate For Congress To
Succeed Walter !. Smith In
The Ninth District.

While the Republican has not been
authorized to make announcement Of
his candidacy, it is becoming well
known among his friends that Hon. w.
X. Green of Audubon would be pleased
to accept the nomination for Congress
In the ninth district provided it should
come to him without a heated contest.
He would not make canvass to secure the
nomination and in fact would not desire
it unless it should come practically un-
amiuous from all the republicans of the
district, so that he might be assured of
united and active support on the day Of
election. We are pleased to see the
harmonious feeling that exists through
out the district and the manifest desire
to get together that seems to prevail.
There are number of men of congress
sional size, but some of them would not
make good candidates because they have
been at the forefront in our fractional
controversies; and others lack the ex-
tended acquaintance with the people
necessary to run well without time TO
make an active canvass throughout the
district. Judge Green is strong in both
these particulars Word comes from
other parts of the district that he
stands in high favor and may receive
the nomination without opposition.

Announcement.

The forthcoming visit of Uncle
Joshua Higgins" will no doubt be
warmly welcomed by the lovers of all
that is good in comedy drama. 1t is
beyond question one of the cleanest and
most interesting plays that has ever
visited our city. The author belongs to
that class who understand how to reach
the heart, and hold the attention of the
audience. In Uncle Joshua Higgins,
he has constructed a play around a
theme which will never grow old. The
comedy element is introduced in such a
way that it becomes revelent to the
story, and the climaxes are worked ont
naturally and logically. This play will
be at the M. w. A. Opera House for
one night only Friday night. March 10,
and Manager Roberts tells us that no
settlement will be made until after the
show is over and that in case any one is
not entirely satisfied with the play they
can get their money at the box Office.
A card from I. j. Suerzman, Manager
of the Adair, Iowa, Opera house to
Manager Roberts reads as follows;
Adair, March 18th. Joshua Higgins
played here last night to fair house,
good play, good people. You can safely
recommend them to your patrons as a
clean show and good evening of fun.

Honor To Senator Allison.

do YOU know inquired Wilbur
Reaser, the New York portrait painter,
that when my painting of Senator
Allison was hung in the lobby of the
Senate the precedent of forty years was
broken?'
1T is fact that since the beginning
of constitutional government the Senate
had bought only nine portraits for the
lobby. The first was Washington's and
the eighth was Charles Summers. For
almost forty years nobody was consid-
cred worthy to follow in the distinguis-
ed line.
1T was generally thought that no
other portrait would ever be added to
the group; but when Senator Allison
died, after serving longer in the Senate
than any other man in the history of
the government, the rule was broken
and his picture became the ninth. -

THE PRESIDENT CALLS
AN EXTRA SESSION
For The Purpose OF Considering The
Reciprocity Agreement Made By
Him With Canada.

Members of the lower house of Con-
gress are elected for two years. Hence
every Congress expires by limitation of
time at the end of two years The diff
ferent congresses are numbered in con-
secutive order. The one that expired
last Saturday was the sixty.first. The
one beginning the same day is the sixty
second This will be made up of the
men elected last fall, and this is the
body that President Taft has called in
extraordinary session. Whether his
action is wise or not remains to be seen.
He gave the senators and representatives
fair warning that if they did not either
confirm or reject the agreement that he
would call the new congress together to
pass upon the measure. The house
passed the bill to endorse the proposition
but certain senators refused to let it
come to a vote. After serving eight
years as speaker of the house Uncle Joe
Cannon has retired Only one other
man has served the same length of time
in that high position. Speaker Cannon
is the only man who has served thirty.
six years. He was elected again last
fall and will take seat in the new
Congress called to meet April A. For a
president to call an extra session of
Congress when the opposition party
controls either house is very uncom-
mon thing and only two presidents
have done such a thing. One was by
Franklin Pierce in 1856 when the repub-
licans had secured control of the house
and the extra session became necessary
to pass the appropriation bill for the
army. And the failure to pass appropri-
alton bills compelled President Hayes
to call special sessions in 1877 and 1879
when the democrats controlled Congress.
