BLAMES SISTER-IN-LAW
FOR TROUBLE THAT
COST HER HUSBAND

The usually quiet and serene office
OF Magistrate Buckley resounded with
adiectives verbs. pronouns and con
functions uttered in the Italian
language last night, when tie magis-
trate was called upon to exert his
wisdom IN settling the old, old aues-
tion Of family troubles" This case.
however. differed little from the
man -and-wife quarrels," as it was
trouble between sisters -in-law that
was finally given an airing before
the magistrate.
The case was brought by Giovanna
Digiacobbo against her two sisters
ip-law. Maria Mazzetta and Mar
guerieta Catoloyne. both of No. 227
Parish street, charging them with
disorderly conduct toward the COM
plainant on June Is.
After hearing much testimony.
which was frequently interrupted by
outbursts OF Italian language, the
magistrate finally ascertained that
Giovanna, the complainant had mar
ried a brother Of the two defendants.
The latter did not like their new
sister-in-law. according to the testi-
mony, and they proceeded to per-
sUade their brother to leave Whining
ton and return to Italy
The brother finally yielded to his
sisters persuasions, and last week he
sailed for Italy. leaving a heartbroken
wife swearing vengance behind him.
Almost her first act after her hus-
band had left his small family. was
to swear out warrant for her
sisters-in-law whom she blamed for
her troubles.
Philip l.. Garrett represented the
State. The defendants were not repre-
sented. After hearing the testimony
the magistrate held the two defend
ants under Sl00 bond each TO keep
the peace.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Theodore

stone was reported today to have re-
ceiNed letter from Roosevelt asking
permission to appear. and stating that
he wanted 70 explain his objections

Senator Stone during the day, ad-
mitted receiving the letter from
Roosevelt, but refused to make it pub
lie, at least not until after confer
ehec az today's committee meeting.
Some time ago, there was consider
able talk about summoning Roosevelt
before the committee and asking him
about the history leading up to the
Panama revolution, by which the
United States acquired the right to die
the canal despite the opposition OF
Colombia. This talk died down. how
ever, with the loss in interest in the
two treaties by the Senators. Until
the receipt of the letter from Roose-
welt. it had practically been decided
mat there would be no hearings on
the Colombian treaty. or any further
hearings on the Nicaraguan treaties.
There appeared to be no disposi-
tion today to refuse Roosevelt a hear
ing. His appearance would be in tex
ecutive session. behind closed doors
and his testimony kept secret. if the
committees past policy is followed.

That his mission in Tampico may
