IN COLD WEATHER.

1t is the husbands duty to get up first

about It and this opinion would be held
by any court in the land. OF course, If
your wife is a suffragette, 1t may be all
right to allow her to do It, This ques-
ton has probably caused more divorces
than any other on the ground of incom-

this very thing sometimes when they grow

Big Southpaw Yields to Man
ager Carrigan's PersuasiOns.
VIII Leave for Training Camp mt Hot
Springs within n Few Days--Spenk-
er the Only One Of the Team
Now Lacking.

William f, Carrigan, manager of the
Boston Red Sox, arrived in the city Fri
day evening after an all days ride from
Lewiston, Me, and teephoned to Ray
Collins that he wanted to see him at the
Hotel Vermont and wouldn't Ray join
him in having something to eat. Ray re-
sponded at once and the two old team
mates had a gladstone reunion, after
which they stroled into the lobby and
had a long talk For about two hours
the subject of the conversation was Mr..
Collins's farm, and Carrigan appeared to
take great interest In what his favorlte
pitcher had to say on scientific dairyng.
Within ten minutes of train time, how
ever, the conversation took serious
turn and Carrigan asked Collins If he
had made up his mind to go back to
baseball again this year. Collins said
he had given the matter much thought
and had finally decided he would. Car
rigan had no contract with him but he
obtained Rays word that he would start
for the training camp at Hot Springs by
the 24th of the month, which Is the date
when the new pitchers will be sent to
have their work out under the veterans
Carrigan told a Free Press reporter that
he would just as soon have Mr. Collins $
word rs a contract, The contract will be
sent to Collins some date before the
Ath, and he will probably leave Burning
ton the 23rd.
Ray is the last Of the Red Sox to sign
up and he was the last man last year.

anything in particular, he says, but he
has frequently considered leaving the

BURGLARY THE CHARGE.
LoOting of Freight Car Leads to Ar
rest of Laduke and FIcury.

The looting of a freight car in the
Central Vermont yards Thursday night
Of last week has led to the arrest Of
James Louis Laduke, better known as

record for the number of convictions
against one man for intoxication in city
court, has been out of the State hospital
at Waterbury for only a short time hav-
ing been committed to the institution for
the treatment some months ago. The
cure evidently did not work in his case,
for a complaint was made that he was
intoxicated few days ago and he was
taken into custody, which led to the dis
covery that he knew something about a
satchel that had been lost and ad-
vertsed in the local papers and that
certain articles stolen from the car above
mentioned were on his premises.
There was stolen from the car a
quantity of smoking and chewing tobacco,
some packages of cereal and some candy.
When Laduke's house at hoe Pearl street
was searched by virtue of warrant
issued by the States attorney Saturday
afternoon, lot of the stolen stun was
found In a bag. 1t was also ascertaned
that he had sold a travelling bag to John
Fleury for sl.25. This was recovered and
in it were a silk dress and some tobacco
Of the kind that was taken from the Cen
trail Vermont car. The bag and the dress
in 1t were the property of Mrs. John
Collins of Chazy, n. Y, the bag having
fallen from hack when Mrs Collins
was on her way to the train. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY found by Laduke. When 1t was
sold to John FIeury, Charles Fleury was
in 4.aduke's company and the last named
Fleury was arrested on suspicion of being
