PICTURES And THINGS
STOP RECONCILIATION
Wife Says She Found Photo
graphs and WOmen's Clothes
in Husbands Home.

A wife's story OF an unsuccessful ef-
fort TO become reconcled with her hus-
band, after Supreme Court Justice Giege-
rich had refused to give her a decree
OF separation and had advised her to
return to her husband. was told yesterday
in the Supreme Court when Mrs. Nina
Ray Wagner asked $50 a week alimony
and 5000 counsel fees pending a second
suit against Albert F. Wagner owner OF
an automobile supply concern at 1902
broadway. He Is alleged to have an in
come Of $4,000 year.
Mrs. Wagner said she went to her hus-
bands home on July 81 TO talk over
plans for the future. She noticed in his
room, she says. many garments belonging
to woman which she never owned, and
in silver frame where her picture was
kept was the picture of a woman she
did not know. In a small gold frame was
the photograph of her husbands stenog-
rapher. She said that before She had an
opportunity to say anything about what
she saw her husband threw her out of
the house and kicked her.
Mrs. Wagner wrote a letter later to
her husband in which she said:
when | went to YOUR house this after
noon I meant to explain to you that I
am willing to go back and live with you
so that I may maintain our home prop
crly, but you didn't give me a chance.
and unwarrantedly assaulted me and
threw me out OF the house. such an
action on your part is cruel and unjust
vet | am satisfied to take up my quarters
with you. ! now offer to go back and
live with you, but | shall expect you 10
cease paying attentions to other women"
Mrs. Wagner said that her husband
failed to reply to the letter. and that
when her attorney went to see him to
discuss a roconciliatio he tried to find
n heavy weight with which to assault
Elm. Wagner denied. his wifc's charges
and said hp was willing to become recon
clcd, but that his wife's attorney In
sisted that the negotiations be Conducted
through him.

Mccall has the backing of Mayor Nit

The fact that they are supporting him

HISTORY OF THE CANAL.
Mo, ement for Its Construction Be
gan In 1870.

Immediately after the completion of
the Suez Canal in 1889 tine attention of the
world WIS directed to the possibility OF
cutting through the American isthmus.
In 1879 Il group of Freuchmcn, under
the dire ction pf Lieut. l.. y V. WySe, got
a concession from Colombia pernittin
the construction of the canal. Three years
later an International congress met in
Paris under the auspices OF Ferdinand
de LeSseps, builder OF the Sue7 Canal.
TO consider the bcst route for canal from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. \ company
Was formed as the oui come Of the de-
liherations of this congress 10 construct
the canal, the cost OF Which de l,esseps
estimated at about $3.50. 900. 600. But this
company vas the victim OF eNtravaRancc
and became bankrupt in 1851. after about
500 900 900 had been spent.
Five years later a new company was
formed, and within another hye years.
after il had expended about 81 7,O00.mn.
the company got into financial difficulties
aud was glad to sell out to the United States
for $40 900 900
The Colombia Senate refused to ratify
a treaty permitting the United States to
buy the concession, but il 1905 Panama

dietary Plank.

Even more revolutionary is the Judi
ciary plank of the tentative platform
drawn by eX-Judge \. T. Clearwater of
Kingston
In order to shorten litigation and do
away with int-fminable legal delays he
would abolish the code of civil procedure
altogether and allow the Judges to make
their own code According to hrs pro-
Rramme n Judge would have the power
OF making any one who is involved In
an action party to II.
The third important constitutional re-
form which has been suggested to the
committee relates to a scientific State
budget. There is little difference of opin-
ion on that, but on the other points de-
feat for the liberals il predicted. Tho
committee will not finish its work until
Monqay and Is not telling what II is up
to until the final report is submitted to
the convention on Tuesday.
To-night the Subcommittee meeting in
Senator Bracketts office heard n plea
for suffrage from two groups of zealots,
the Women's Political Union and the EN-
pire State campaign committee which rep
resents all the organizations except the
w. i. l..
These women want the convention not
only to reRffrm its 1912 conviction that
there should be n referendum. but to come
out flatly for suffrage next week. Each
group has headquarters In the United
States Hotel.

As the party managers and factional

The fact that Senator Roots committee.
which is to submit a constitutional dele

to determine what should be the State's 5
fundamental law was all but forgotten by
the gossips who swarmed along the We
randa of the hotel, and by the strateglsts
who were sticking pins IN their war maps
In private rooms removed from public

tonight, though not as a delegate. and

1t is clear that both the whitman and
