LAW GIVES HUSBAND
WHAT WIFE EARNS
Ruling in Transfer Case
Causes Suffragists to
Study Statutes.

where the husband and wife are
living together and mutually engaged
in providing for the support of them
selves and their family. and there Is
nothing to indicate an intention on the
part of the wife TO separate her earn
ings, the husband is entitled to her
earnings as well as her services
This was the decision handed down
by Supreme Court Justice Morschauser,
at White Plains, yesterday, in the case
of Ludwig Kuenstler against Andre
and Mary Hopke.
The decision was brought out by an
action to set aside transfer OF prop
crty on Rivcrdale Avenue, Nonkers,
from Andre TO Mary on the ground that
the transfer was made to dcfraud cred
itors Of Andre. The decision of the
Judge set aside the transfer TO the
wife.
The evidence showed that the wife
had mingled her earnings with her
husbands, and that when he got into
financial difficulties he transferred the
property to his wife. alleging that 1t
was her money and earned by her.
The ruling of Justice Morschausor
that husband is entitled to the earn
ings of his wife during marriage while
living together. unless specific agree
ment 10 the contrary is made, created
great interest and caused a number of
suffragists.t 90 TO the Supreme Court
library in the White Plains Courthouse
TO look up the law.
Justice Morschauser when seen after
court had adjourned at White Plains
said: There is nothing extraordinary
about my decision. The law followed
las been stated many times. The ser
vices of the wife belong to the husband
during marriage while they live to-
gethcr, and so do her earnings.
"She may engage in any business, and
If il is the intention on her part to
separate her earnings she may do so;
otherwise the husband is entitled to
her earnings"

an Englshman seeking funds to con-
tinue art studies, visited a saloon in
Ninth Avenue, just north of Paddy

its of the spectators he sketched the
proprietor and the bartender. Vastly

AN who might that be-" queried a
man.
You'll see in a moment" replied
Goldstein.
They did. It was King George V.
Fists, bottles and glasses began TO fly.

and that was probably why there was
no blood on the floor or on other por-
tions of her clothing. She said that
from her childhood the sight Of blood
had made her faint.
Ballou's Gift Thrown Out.
Mr.. Cummings won approving mods
from the women in the courtroom when
he asked about the bottle of cherry
wine. Mrs. Angle testified that she
threw it out on the back porch because
il reminded her of Mr., Ballou and his
injury The District Attorney said:
at was his last gift to you, and you
threw it away" Mrs. Angle made no
reply.
The last stir Of the day was caused
by Mr. Blondcll He took the stand late
in the afternoon TO testify that ms
daughter had always tainted when she
had seen blood -,
The summing up of the case will
probably occupy the entire day to-mor-
row. Each side is allowed three hours.

:
We've always been opti-
mists, on our own business at
least, and one Of the results
is that we can now invite our
friends to look over a larger
stock of Spring goods than
we have ever shown before.
Even in the first days of un-
certainty which the great war
brought, we concluded that
our traditional policy was still
good-that if we had gen
erous stocks Of clothing and
everything else men and boys
wear we would get the busi-
ness.
Especially as the general
tendency of mechanism such
times is to skimp their stocks.
We don't mind saying that
it has worked, as it always
has worked with us, and the
year 1914 wound up with
larger sales than 1913.
Instead Of holding off the
manufacture Of goods for
this Spring, we went ahead
even earlier than usual, so
that no wartime delays could
possibly hinder us.
AS a result our stock to-day
is not only larger by the addi-
tionof fourth great with
itsadditional stock, butismore
completely ready thus early
than aneverbeforein ourhistory.
Everything for the Spring
wear of men and boys.

son saved the life of William Co

with him when he became entangl-

of becoming panic stricken. instant

Cochran reached the scene just in
time to save his life, as the belt was
rapidly tightening about him and
drawing him into the shelter, where
he in a minute or two would have
been crushed to death. He was ter
ribly bruised from his hips to his
shoulders.

In his testimony on Wednesday,.
relative to this point, Mr.. Zangle tes-
titled that he had borrowed the key
to the committee room, in which the
ballot boxes We're stored, several
times. He stated that the last time
he borrowed the key was on a Mon
day afternoon. The reason for get
ting the key, according to his testi-
mony, was that during a term of
court the jurors and spectators
crowded into the office of the coun-.
ty auditor and made it practically i'm
possible to accomplish any work. On
this account, he stated, he got the
key to the committee oom and
into it some of his books and the

without being disturbed.

He accepted his position in the Will

Mr. Bryan's chief work as secre-

Of International peace. He drew up
treaties intended to prevent d dec

try, or onsthe part Of another coun-

treaties provide for an investigation
In all cases Of international differ
eAces without any exception what
ever, each nation reerving the right
to act Independently after the in

Although Germany did not sign
one of the treaties, 1t accepted their
principles shortly prior to the out
break Of the present European war.
Therefore, when President Wilson
decided that the time had come to
call Germany to account, it became
apparent that the Bryan peace prin-
ciples were to be given. the supreme
test.
Germany demanded On investiga-
tion to ascertain the facts. President
Wilson insists that the facts are

assure the United States that 1t will!
