WIFE CANNOT
STEAL MONEY
FROM SPOUSE
Mrs. Joseph Frasunek, Dismissed
On Charge of Robbing Hus-
band, Sues for Divorce.

Husbands, keep your hands on your
pocketbooks.
A wife cannot steal from her hus-
band, or at least if she takes his money
she cannot be prosecuted.
There is nothing, however, to pre-
vent her from Immediately filing an
action in divorce on the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment.
All this was developed this morning
when Mrs. Joseph Frasunek was ar
raigned before Judge Carey on a
charge of stealing $500 from her hus-
band, miner at the Minorca mine.
Arrested At Duluth.
Mrs. Frasunek left her home Tues
day of last week taking with her the
family bankroll amounting in all to
something like $500. She didn't tell
her husband where she was going or
ask his permission to take the change,
but she took it. This morning when
Ahe was arraigned before Judge
Carey the case against her was or
dered dismissed. County Attorney
Boyle declined to prosecute.
Thomas Mexican, her attorney, said
this morning that his client had left
her husband because he had mistreat-
ed her. "Mrs. Frasunek will file an
action in divorce at once," said Nc
Kean, "charging this man with cruel
and inhuman treatment"
Mrs. Frasunek was returned to the
city from Duluth this morning.

PLAN TO DRILL
FOR COAL Mine

Several range contractors have re-
Gently had requests from Baudette
people to furnish figures on drilling
proposed to be done in land in that
section, where it is believed coal meas
ures may be found. Float has been
found at several places in that section
and leads to the belief that extensive
deposits may be found somewhere in
the region.
Interest In Polk County Find.
Local mining men are taking much
interest in the reported finds of a good
grade Of bituminous coal in the coun-
try about Mentor, in Polk county. Mar
tin Moe, of the firm of Moe Bros, dia-
mnd drill contractors, recently visited
the country about Mentor. He reports
that there are float indications of q
considerable body of valuable coal
somewhere in that district. but believes
it remains to be developed just where
it is located.

SEND MONEY BY
STANDARD OIL

The Standard Oil company is in
closer and more accurate touch with
many sections of the war zone in Eu-
rope and eastern Asia than is the
United States government. This is the
discovery just made by the Messrs.
Jereissati of Virginia, who have been
investigating how best to send money
to their parents, residing near Beirut
IN Assyria. The matter was taken up
with the United States consular au-
thorities who advised them to send it
through the Standard Oil company if
they wished to insure it's delivery. The
course suggested is being pursued by
the Messrs. Jereissati. For six months
they have not heard from their father
and mother in Assyria. Their home
town has been the scene of operations
by the Turkish army.

first part of his cross-examination of
Theodore Roosevelt today, William
WINS, chief counsel for William

governor unless he had been a resi-
dent of the state for five years prior
to the date of his election and that he
had made affidavit the year previous

some time had been a resident of
Washington. Roosevelt's counsel made
no objection whatever to the line of
questions which resulted in these state
ments. This is the colonel's third day
on the stand.

GREEK MAY GO
HOME TO FIGHT

Thomas Givas, who has been en-
ployed as cook in several of the ho-
tells and restaurants in Virginia during
the past few months, left last evening
for Duluth, where he will visit for
several weeks. Givas belongs to the
Greek reserves and is contemplating
going to his mother country to fight.
He is familiar with the Notifications
at the Dardanelles and says that it is
impracticable to try and take them
from the seas, since it has innumer-
able defensive advantages. Perhaps
one of the greatest of these is that it
is situated just round curve in the
straits in the shelter of dense over
hanging cliffs.

LONDON, April 22.-The deadlock
in the negotiations between Austria
and Italy has been broken, and hopes
Of the settlement Of the questions ut
issue without resort to arms have
been revived in Rome. It is not known
by any but those persons closely con-
cerned what change has taken place,
but Rome assumes that either Austria
or Italy has made some concessions.
Italy was represented previously as
demanding all of the Trent Austrian
districts as we'll as the Dalmatian
islands in the Aegian sea. "'A"~~~'
Austria is believed to be wi;l'n" 70
yield only comparatively small part
of this territory.
Turks In Strong Resistance.
A strong Turkish army is preparing
to offer resistance to the land forces
with which the allies are expected to
attack the Dardanelles Notifications
from the rear. Athens says that the
Turks are strongly entrenched along
the coast Of the Gulf of Saros. In this
vicinity, according to unofficial advic-
es, 10000 British and French troops
have been landed.
Germans and Austrians Summoned.
Geneva, April 22.-All German and
Austrian subjects in Switzerland, even
those who never did military service,
were recalled yesterday by their re-
spective governments. News reached
Luegno that the Italian government
had stopped transatlantic service with
the United States. Passengers who
purchased tickets had their money re-
funded. The Italian government, the
report said, required all it's steamships.
Germans Sink Submarine.
Berlin, April 22.-The German ad-
miralty today gave out statement
saying that in a certain German bay
of the North sea, British submarines
had been repeatedly observed recent
ly and were attacked by German fore
es. One hostile submarine was sent to
the bottom on April II and the de-
struction of several other vessels was
considered probable.
The admiralty statement specifies
Heligoland bay as the scene of the
appearance Of the British submarines.
This bay lies between the mainland
and the island of Heligoland, and is
perhaps the most important German
naval station, behind which is supposed
to lie virtually the entire German fleet
under the shelter of the enormous
guns of the island.
