WORDS CRUELTY IN

Haunting Of Wife, Says Justice
MOrschauser, Worse Than
Any Blow.

WHITE PLAINS. N. y, Oct. ga man
may innict extreme cruelty. not by blows
upon his wife, but by his actions, which
may strike deeper than the blow. Cruel
ties can consist not alone Of blows. but
by the lash Of the tongue, which can in
nict a greater sting Than the blow from
any strong arm"
This statement was made to-day by
Justice Joseph Morschauser in the SUI
preme Court at White Plains In the trial
OF the suit for a separation brought by
Mrs. Anna r. Mead against her husband.
Lawrence j. Mead. manager Of an office
building In New York, IN the ground that
he not alone abandoned her but treated
her cruelty.
Mrs. Mead told how her husband had
taunted her about the girls he had met
and said that he believed every man
should have a harem. This testimony Is
what brought out the meaning Of cruelty
as defined by Justice M%orschauser. Mr..
and Mrs. Mead have been married four
teen years and have two children. They
have a summer home at Darien, Conn.
Mrs. Mead said that on one occasion
she went to his Office and found him with
his stenographer. Some OF her hairpins
were on the floor and she was flushed.

Clinton T. Taylor. counsel for Mrs.
Mead. asked.

He said that he had been trying to force
the girl to eat a stick Of candy"
did me ever talk to you about his
views on the Continental idea Of mar
riage?" Mr.. Taylor asked her.
Yes" said MRS. Mead. He told me
that the idea of a man being faithful TO
one woman was ridiculous. lie said he
believed In the Turkish and French ideas
and he thought men should have
harems.
My husband told me that he was IN
love with his stenographer and that he
went skating with her. He said that
man has two sides to his nature. the
higher and the lower side. Once he said
he would like to take his daughter when
she got old enough to restaurants and
places Of amusement Just to hear the
people say. who Is that old Que with
that pretty and charming little girl?"
The trial will be continued tomorrow.

II has been generally believed that

C0ALING WARSHlPS AT SEA.
Sixty Tons Of Fuel an Hour Whirled
From Vessel to Vessel.

From Vessel to Vessel.
How the British vessels OF war are
coaled while sailing through heavy
seas at a rate of twelve miles an hour
without hindering their activities in
any way is told In the Manchester
Guardian:
A collier packed TO the matches with
coal gets into touch by wireless with
battleship whose bunkers need to be
replenished On sighting the vessel
the supply ship maneuvers until it Is
within 400 feet OF the battleship. The
collier then dispatches a small boat
that carries two cables. One end Of
each is attached to the masthead of
the supply vessel. The lines pay out
as the boat advances, and when 1t
reaches the warship the sailors fasten
the cables to the stern of the ship on
the port and starboard sides.
The two ships. therefore. travel In a
straight line fastened together, while
from the mast of the collier to the
deck of the warship stretches trans
port cable for carrying coal bags.
Sacks of coal that weigh a ton are
hoisted from the foot of the Golfers
mast to a platform at its head. below
which there is a net to protect deck
hands from falling pieces Of coal. By
means Of wheels that run on the cable
automatic winches force the load along
the sloping transport line at a rate OF
5000 feet a minute. On reaching the
deck Of the battleship the load is au-
tomatically released. and the trans
porter starts on Its return Journey.
BY means Of this apparatus sixty
tons of coal can be carried every hour
across the gap of water that separates
the supply ship from the battleship,
The great advantage is that both
vessels can move at the rate OF
twelve knots an hour while the coaling
goes on.
