Charge OF Nonsupport Thrown
Out When Wife Refuses
to Live Here.
HEARD BY COMMISSIONERS
District Attorney Prosecutes
Case. Which Came Up on
Washington Warrant.

Charles L. Woodward who was ar
rested last week on the charge Of non
support OF his wife, was acquitted
yesterday by United states Commits
sioner Melvin Flegenhe!mer. under
whose jurisdiction the case came from
the fact that Woodwa.d's arrest fol-
lowed an Indictment found against
MIN in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court of the District OF Co.
lumbIa.
The case was heard in Mr.. Flegen-
heimer's Office and occupied two hours.
District Attorney Lunslord L Lewis
conducted the prosecution. Mrs. Eva
&. Woodward, the plaint.ft, was accom-
panied from Washington by her sister,
Mss Elsie f. Moulden. They testified
That the defendant had since January
!, 1912. maze no attempt to support his
vile and child.
Mr.. Woodward, who was defended By
Attorney John a. Lamb introduced
witnesses to show that since Novem-
Der. 1911. he has been at work as a
member OF the construction force Of
tho new POST Office. and that he had
been willing at ali times to support
IN Richmond. This, he claimed, she
declined 10 DO. His testimony was
supported by his mother and sister. as
Wen as the foreman in charge OF the
force at the Post-Oficc. all OF whom
appeared Gs Witnesses.
Husbands Residence IL Home.
Commissioner Flegenheimer held that
the husbands residence is the legal
home of married couple. and that the

could not be held responsible for the
support OF wife who would not live
~ him. He therefore dismissed the
Charges against him, leaving him free
from prosecution by any Richmond
court Unless he should return to
Washington. where the case might be
taken up anew. there Will be no fur
ther proceedings.
The difficulty. which was aired be-
fore Commissioner Flegenheimer yes

Says Trniiic Is Too Small.
While the matter is still under cons

~ likely that the additional service
asked for by Claremont will be put
on any time soon. While 1t is true
that the river town has but one mail
train q day. said Mr.. Elan. it Is more
fortunate after ali than number OF
towns in Virginia with a larger popu-
lation. To make special stop in or
der to deliver dozen or SO pieces of
mall would prove too expensive a
plan for even the opulent post office
department.
1t is a mistake" said Mr.. Elan,
Ito believe that such matters rest en-
tirely with Ae department. They de-
peril to great extent on the kind
OF contract that we can mako with
the steamship companies. In many
cases they have a monopoly--or think
they have a monopol,--of the river
service and are in a position to de-
nand such terms as TO make the de-

.PR0GRESSIVES
HELD MEETING
At Bank Hall Thursday Eve
ming ---- Speeches Were
Loudly Applauded.

l.
fact that there were several
social affairs held on the same
evening there were about $50
present to hear and applaud the
speeches made. Posters were is
sued to the effect that Hon. Geo.
Creel and Hon. E. P. Costigan
would speak, but neither of them
were able to be present. Mr.. Cos
tigan was detained by a business
engagement of Importance Mr..
Creel was i'll and unable to be out,
however, the crowd was not dis
appointed in being treated with a
good progressive speech. In fact
they had the pleasure of hearing
three well-known men advance
ideas on the progressive move
ment. The first to take floor was
our fellow townsman, Geo, P.
Campbell, and he made a splen-
did talk advocating the bi-parti-
san progressive movement. Next
followed that well-known repub-
lican, D. C. Burns, who also
touched very emphatically upon
the leading questions that are be-
ing advocated by the progress
sives of both parties and de-
clared that it was the proper
thing for the people who wanted
good government to get to-
gether regardless of former po-
litical belief. Mr.. S. Dunleavy,
a democrat, followed Mr.. Burns
and made a number of good
points in regard to the movement
that is making such rapid growth
all over the state and especially
in this county. In fact from
the speeches made, it would have
been a difficult matter to tell to
what political party the speakers
belonged as they were all ad-
vocatihg good government of the
people, by the people and for the
people. While it was a dis
appointment to some not to hear
the speakers advertised, we feel
sure that they returned home
feeling we'll paid for coming out.
The Rebekah lodge gave card
social and supper at Barth's hall
Thursday night, the proceeds of
which were donated to the sup
port of one of it's former men,
bers who is sick and in dire con-
dition financially. The forepart
of the evening was spent in play
ing cards and about ten or ten
thirty a splendid supper was
served. An admission of 25 cents
was charged for playing cards,
including the supper. A large
crowd attended the affair and the
ladies' netted a nice sum for their
suffering member.
The Jefferson county Sunday
school association held it's con-
vention at Wheatridge last Thurs
day and was attended by a large
number of Sunday school workers
The program was an interesting
one, the speakers were well pre-
pared and some very excellent
things were said that must have
been a great help to all who were
present. North Evans ofArvada
presided. The Eastern part of
the county was well represented,
and the schools contributed freely
to the county work. The state
convention will be held in Colo
RADIO Springs next June and
speakers of National reputation
will be present.
The Enterprise man made a
trip to Morrison last week and
after talking with number of
business men and others of both
parties found that the independ-
ent-progressive movement was
very strong in that end of the
county and the people over there
were getting tired of being
