TELLS SAD STORY
OF DISCRETION
Mrs. Meyer Says Sire Got ABB
s0lute Proof of Husbands
Deception.

Through a note pinned to an over
turned chair. to the effect that heghad
left for Chicago never to return. Mrs.
Charles L. Meyer, of 1853 Peshine avenue,
learned that her husband had deserted
her. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Meyer re-
turned from a visit in Trenton with her
two children. She expected her husband
TO meet her at the Pennsylvania sta
ton.
When Mrs. Meyer arrived at her home
found everything in disorder. A
boarder, Francis Wister, had also left.
The story told by her was one of
suffering and neglect during her short
married life of less than three years.
She said:
II was married in Trenton and at that
time my husband was employed rs a
salesman In Stra wbrldge & Clothiers,s
store in Philadelphia.
For more than two years after my
wedding we lived with my parents in
Trenton, Mr.. Meyer committing to work
every day. This we did as we wanted
to save enough TO start housekeeping and
my parents practically boarded us free.
Though our expenses were small except
when our first baby was sick my hus-
DADu LOT SOHle rehSOn cOufu nol ave
enough to give us a start even in n small
way.
This way of living continued until last
fall when Mr.. Meyer got a position in
McGregor & Co.'S store in this city and
he<hoarded here for about three months.
During that time he sent me about $50
from his salary and with some borrowed
money we started to keep house here
last November.
For a time we were happy. but soon
he began keeping late hours, and three
weeks before my little baby WIS born /
got absolute proof of his deception. and
from that time he tried In every wav to
make things unpleasant for me, though
| was In a critical condition and O
expected to live.
This was denied in an interview with
Donald McGregor yesterday, who said
that Mover approached him Thursday
and asked for the loan of $50. as he
wanted to get away before his wife ana
returned home the following
day. Mr.. McGregor said that he hao
only one side Of the story and
gave Mover s25 on his promise TO pay il
back as soon as he was settled. Moyef
then drew what was left of his wages
drawn some earlier In the week
and left.
Before departing he said he was going
to Chicago and would never return ac-
to Mr.. MeGregor.
Mrs, Meyer said yesterday that she had
but $1.25 from her husband dur
the past six weeks and that was TO
nav her fare to Trenton when she went
the visit. The only other thing he
has done to contribute toward the sup
port of his family she claims is to buy a
pair of shoes for the baby.

After landing at the dock the apostolic
delegate allowed himself to he photo

wonder at the impressive skyline of New
York. His next was praise for the Amer

remain a long time.
The voyage owe was extremely rough
and cold, the delegate said. and although
the party was on the lookout for Ice
bergs none were sighted. On the way
over Archbishop Bonzano celebrated
mass daily in the mushroom of the
Koenig Albert. He had little to say
regarding himself and his mission, but
consented to talk of the Pope's reported
death which startled the world.
His Holiness was in good health when

strong as we would wish. When you
consider his s~eventy-seven years and the
daily audiences he holds. besides the
burden of work he accomplishes,. his fee

credence from the fact that His Hoii

BALTIMORE. May 4.-The following
men, claiming Brooklyn as their home.
left their names with Mayor Preston thi.
mornings: e.. Davis, ]. Butt. John Mar
tin, George Corrigan, Thomas Levin,
Arthur Brill, Frank Philips and John
Spax.
One hundred young men, of whom the
eight anne above constituted a part
applied to Mayor Preston for transpor-
tation to Brooklyn, asserting they had
been shanghaied here on the pretence
that they were to work outside of
Trenton
Twenty-Five men. who were brought
to Baltimore last Wednesday as strike
breakers. appealed to Mayor Preston for
aid In getting to their homes. 1t was
said they had been brought here against
their will, without even knowing what
city they were in.
They said tina If they were to remain
in Baltimore without work they would
become public charges and thereby be
dependent upon the charities of the
State. The twenty men were upheld by
Counsel Jackson. of the Stevedores'
Union Mr.. Jackson declared that there
was no other work for the mel besides
that of unloading ships, and this the
men refused to do. regardless of the
Inducements.
A committee of the men called upon
Secretary Schuster. of the trustees of
Bay View, and asked for help. Mr..
Schuster held that the fund at his dis
posal for the assistance of stranded per-
sons could not be utilized in that par
ticular case, and stated there was plenty
of work to he had in the city.
In answer. Mr.. Jackson said he could
find more than 5000 men at the present
time walking the streets of Baltimore in
search of employment. Mr.. Schuster re,
piled tina the men could work at any
thing for only n few days and earn
enough to defray their travelling ex-
penses. As neither side could reach an
agreement II was decided to consult
Mayor Preston. with the result that IT
was finally arranged with Superlntend-
ent Wise, of the Friendly Inn, to keep
the men at the latter institution until
they obtain work.

CIRCLES SQUARE
ON GERAN BALLOT

In an effort to straighten out the con-
fusion that has arisen over the apparent
Inconsistency of the provisions of the
Geran law and the amendments of 1872
with relation to the squares on the pri-
mary ballot. in which voters are to indi-
ate their choice among the candidates
for President and Vice-President and
delegates to the national conventions
Assistant Acknowledgement Gaskell has
given 1t as his opinion that the intent of
the Legislature in amending the Geran
law was to ~place%these squares to the
left of the names.
The opinion In full Is as follows:
There has been called to my attention
an apparent conflict in the provisions OF
the statues relating to the pfesloehtia
primary, soon to be held, with reference
to the ocation of the square in when
the voter is to mark his preference
among candidates for President ana vice.
President.
Geran law clearly Indicate that the
choice for President is to be Indicated
by marking a cross in the square at
the right Thereof"
1t appears tina by paragraph 8 Oh
charter 81 of the laws of 1872, the pril-
mary tickets as used at the general pri-
mary elections in September has been
80 changed that the square, instead OF
appearing at the right, as hertotore' now
comes to the left.
Paragraph 10 of the Geran law PROVIDES
that the form of ballot to be used at
the presidential primary shall be as near
as may be to the form authorized In sec
ton 40. which has been amended In the
manner to which ! have referred.
: am forced to the conclusion that the
amendment of section 40. resulting from
the passage of chapter 31 of the laws
of 1912, provides for an arrangement OF
the primary ticket with marking squares
at the left. and that this Is to be taken
as a repeal by Inconsistent provision of
the language contained In paragraph %
of the Geran act providing for a mark
ing of choice for President at the right
in order to avoid confusion which wouio
arise from having the presidential choice
expressed by a mark in the square at the
right, and all other indications of choice
being shown by marks in squares at the
left.
1t seems to me that the intent of the
Legislature is clearly shown by the
amendment to section 40, and that in ac-
cordance with its provisions all squares
for the indication of choice upon the pr
mary ballot SHOULD be placed at the left.
