SHRIEKS
AS HUSBAND Is
LED TO PRISON
In Frenzy of Grief, Throws Her
self On Spouse's Neck In
Courtroom
CREATES FRESH SCENE
IN CORRIDOR OF JAIL
Man Can Dodge Six-Months'
Term II He Pays Fine
of Fifty Dollars

Women spectators In Judge Connol-
ly,s court turned pale. Monday morn.
Ing. when Mrs. Mary Naposny. Of No.
30 0ubert-st.. emitted a series Of
agoniEed shrteks. as her husband.
Mike" Nabozny was taken from the
court room to the county tail, IN de-
fault OF payment of q $50 fine imposed
because he had failed to deliver to the
police dog that annoyed the neigh
bors by bowling.
AS Nabozny was led to the prison
ers' dock, after the sentence OF $50
fine or six months In the House of Cor
rection was imposed. the woman threw
herself upon her husbands neck as
court onicers tried to lead him to the
dock. She cried pitifully. struggling
to get into the dock beside him. until
Judge Connolly ordered that the man
be at once removed to the Jail.
Then the woman went into a regular
frenzy. struggling with four officers
who tried to keep her away from her
husband. and shrieking until persons
rushed from all over the building, to
learn the cause. while several women
In the court room shivered, and turn
cd pale from emotion.
The man was rushed into the ele-
vator. The woman turned and plunged
down the stairway. bursting In on the
little party as officers and prisoner en-.
tered the corridors OF the county Jail.
There another wild scene was enacted,
the woman being held back by main
force OF half dozen officers, while
her husband was locked In jail. For a
long time she haunted the corridor,
crying bitterly, until some citizens
quteted her. and sent her home.

BERRY ADMITS BLUNDER
If He Hnd Stopped Vessel Collision
Would Have Been Avotde ed.

iSDeclal to The Times -DiSpatch.1
Philadelphia, February 25.--If Cap
tain Berry, commander of the Mer-
chants and Miners Liner Nantucket,
had stopped his vessel when he first
heard the sound signals of the Old
Dominion Liner Monroe. instead OF
keeping ahead at full speed, the col
lision between the two vessels In a
fog on the Virginia coast. which cost
forty-onc lives, would have been
aVertcd.
This Captain Berry himself admitted
to-day at the government probe OF the
disaster
Grilled also by Albert #. Thurman.
special solicitor of the United States
Department OF Commerce, Captain Ber-
ry admitted that he had blundered, or
had at least been guilty OF an error of
judgment In estimating that he could
see ahead OF his own vessel for milo
or more through the fog in which he
suddenly encountered the Monroe with
such disastrous results.
Instead of being able to see through
the fog to such n distance as he had
testified yesterday under direct eN-
animation of John G. Lewis, his coun-
sell he admitted to-day under cross
examination by the government in
vestigators, that he had not seen the
Monroes lights until they were one
eighth or quarter OF mile away.

Flour" Decision of Supreme Court.
n{nJ IN, ,hr


Washington, February 25.-Dr. Har-
vey w. Wiley, former government pure
food expert, to-day offered to cooper
ate with Congress In the establishment
or new law which would Offset tho
"bleached flour" decision OF the Su-

Courts opinion had killed the pure
food and drugs law"
The food and drugs act must be
made 80 specific by Congress-" said
Pr Wiley, that any form of adultera-
ton can be punished. Tho proposition
been shown to be injurious to health
are liable is body blow at the law.
Should Congress prepare a new law
covering all authorizations, I would be
glad TO render any assistance IN my
power"

case as precedent for the strengthen

In this case Congress passed an amend
mcnt to the food and drugs act pro-
hibiting the circulation Of false claims
