This makes the third time that Mrs.
Altman has left her husband. Twice

and brought back by Altman.
Both Were Jealous.
Altman came to Richmond to take
the management of the Union store,
and his wife was employed as a filter.
They did not remain there long be-
cause Mrs. Altman became jealous of
a bookkeeper and Altman disliked the
attentions that a salesman paid his
wife, according to the story told by
Mrs. Hawkins.
Mrs. Altman confded to her land
lady her intentions of seeking annul-
ment of her marriage with Altman on
the grounds that he married her with

MINISTERS TO PRAY
FOR FREE SCHOOLS
Special Services to Be Held
in Many Churches
Sunday.

Special prayer for the public schools
of the land will be offered next Sun
day in a number of Richmond pulpits.
following the action of the Presbyter-
ian General Assembly and number of
other evangelical bodies last summer
in endorsing the action Of the Ma
tional Reform association, which has
named the second Sunday in Septem-
Der for the offering of prayer from all
the pulpits of the country for the free
schools of the land.
This date has been selected, be-
cause the public schools have just
opened, the churches are filling and
the general reorganization of Sunday
schools is going on at this time.
During the last seventy years there
has been a day set apart as a day of
Prayer for Colleges. While the stu
dent world numbers 100000 there are
nearly seventeen million children in
the common schools of the nation.
The service next Sunday for the
common schools will be world wide in
extent, and is part of the program
mapped out by the second Worlds
Christian Citizenship conference held
at Portland, Ore, this summer. One
of the aims of this organization is to
nave the Bible made a text book in all
schools.

ODORLESS LIQUOR
VEXES DEPARTMENT

Odorless intoxtcants is new form
of the liquor problem vexing the po-
lice. Patrolman Westenberg found
John Heidelberg in the South Tenth
street park in what was considered an
intoxicated condition, but no odor of
liquor was noticed when the man was
examined at police headquarters. The
police were puzzled and solved the di-
lemma by stating him dope fiend. ="
Thoroughly perplexed, the police today
charged him with public intoxication.
Heidelberg pleaded guilty to the
charge and was fined 81 and costs in
police court. The police have been
unable to find the stuff that Heidel-
berg drank
Lewis w. Nye was fined 81 and costs
for intoxication. He was arrested last
night at the Grand hotel, where he
disturbed the guests.

A heavy guard surrounded Thaw for
two purposes. One was Thaw's fear
that Jerome, and his retinue of pri-
vate detectives under Capt. John Ian
yon would kidnap him; the second
was that the rural people of this
section are stepped in Thaw sentiment
and might try to rescue him.

the fight for the extradition upon the
warrant charging Thaw with cOnspir-

Thaw lawyers are considering every
angle of defense offered. They decided
to make one branch of their defense
upon the contention that Thaw, being
insane in the eyes of the New York

The biggest crowd in the history of
