ARRESTS FORMER WIFE.
Mayor Of ottumwa Takes Woman TO
Jail on lntoxication Charge.


Ottumwa, May 20.-Pat Leeny, Of
tumwas expert switchman" mayor,
made a new claim for space in the
public prints here when he arrested
his divorced wife, Minnie Leeny, on
the charge of intoxication.
Mayor Leeny has been aiding the po-
lice force occasionally since his inaug
uration, April Z. but the arrest Of mis-
former wife was the least expected OF
any action of his spectacular career.
An effort will be made by Mr.. Leeny
to have Mrs. Leeny sent to the in
ebriate asylum.
Mr.. Leeny was accompanied by the
patrol wagon and Night Captain Smith,
and when Smith informed the woman
of her arrest she made no protest but
remarked. This is the work Of Pat
Leeny.' Mrs. Leeny is now in the
county Jail awaiting the action Of the
district court which she will face to
answer to the charge of intoxication in
public.
Mayor Leeny and the woman were
principals in bitterly fought divorce
proceedings two years ago and the
husband secured the decree. The one
son was given to the father with the
wife having the privilege to visit him
at intervals.

The New Laxative

If other laxative remedies disappoint
you, try Pinl>lets.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules,
easy to take, do not grippe or irritate but
gently assist nature.
Strong, harsh purgatives defeat the very
hope OF cure by leaving the bowels dry
AMI the constipation becomes aggravated.
Pinklets slightly stimulate the stomach,
thorough digestion being essential to the
cure of constipation.
So gentle and natural is their action
that there is no fear of continuing the
use of Pinklets too long. They never
lose their helpfulness. They can be
taken with any other medicine.
Pinklets are recommended in cases OF
torpid liver, biliousness, constipation and
headache, to clear the complexion and
whenever gentle laxative is required:
Every druggist can now supply this
new laxative.

LACK OF OFFICERS
IS FELT BY NAVY

Washington. November oo.-Thc
number OF officers now in the navy is
not sufficient To man all the fighting
ships In the event OF war with "A for
cign power. is the declaration made in
tho annual report OF Admiral Vic
tor Blue, chief Of the Bureau OF Navi-
cation, made public to-day. He urges
that Congress enact legislation pro-
vidng for a gradual redistribution OF
offers in the various grades to obviate
a condition that is growing worse
Admiral Blue points out that there
now are 900 officers OF tho grades
OF Junior lieutenant and ensign as com
pared with $50 officers above these
grades. and that at the prcs=c:i rate of
promotion of forty each year the
junior ensign reaches the grade of lieu
tenant at an age at which officers are
now promoted to captains.
Admiral Blue says a circular letter
is being sent to the principals Of high
schools to ascertain If the eXamina tior
for admission to the Naval Academy is
such that the ordinary high school stu
dent should be capable OF passing. Mem
bcrs of Congress, also, are being aided
i'm their selection of candidates by the
naval medical officers, who conduct un-
letters signed by the members. In
this way it Is expected to detect ply
steal defects before the regular acad-
envy examinations, affording oppor-
tunity for cure before the boy pre-
sents himself at Annapolis.
Recruiting Unsatisfactory.
Recruiting for the navy last year
was unsatisfactory until June. when
there was an unprecedented number of
cnlistments in large part due TO the
approaching European cruise OF the
battleship fleets. The enrolment Of a.
naval reserve is strongly urged. 1t is
pointed out that the authorized peace
strength OF the navy. 81, 500 men. is far
short of the number required to put
into active commission all OF tho naval
vessels.
The main dependence Of the navy
must be upon the men who have honor
ably left the service after one or two
enlistments. Many thousands Of these
men arc now in civil life and should be
enrolled In a national reserve and given
a short period for drill upon shipboa rd
ut stated intervals.
There also should oe included I'm the
reserve ex-ofiiccrs OF the navy, yachts
men and officers and men of the NOR
chant marine. as well rs those of sea-
faring occupations. The bureau has
already established an Office OF national
reserve which has obtained pledrea
from 1850 mon to enroll If an organi-
cation Is provided by Congress.
