started FOR the Tatum house.
In the minutes before Allen reached
Pontica Mrs. Tatum had suffered a
change of heart 1t wasn't a complete
change. She still wanted her husband
arrested. but she believed he had gone
70 bed and she didn't want him to be
taken out into the chill night air. She
wasn't so particular about Henry Cod
dington, for she had seen 70 it that a
warrant charging him with disorderly
conduct was sworn out.
Door Smashed by Constable.
Allen was barred when he got to the
house, and his efforts TO gain entrance
smashed up part of the front door.
Coddngton was arraigned before Judge
Hayden and paroled in his own custody
until Friday morning.
After that another row was put on
the ways, and it slid down to the wa
tiers of discomfort with spectacular
ease. Coddington and Mrs. Tatum
said some nice things to each other,
Mr.. Tatum had a verbal battle with
James Macarthur and Miss Macarthur
and the telephone bell in the Office or
William A. Dodge, justice of the peace,
tinkled him out of bed at o'clock
yesterday morning.
I'VE want warrants; we want war
rants" said Coddington and Tatum.
arOurd Two a WbOla now mad
of them" said Dodge.
In another hour two automobile loads
of warrant seekers reached the Dodge
home. Mr.. Dodge had set out fifteen
or twenty pens and was ready. In
walked Tatum, Coddngton, Mrs. Ia
tum, Miss Macarthur and Mr.. Mac
Arthur.
"Sfootl" said Dodge.
81 want warrant for Mrs. Tatum,"
said Coddington.
81 want a warrant for James Mac
Arthur and warrant for Mary Mac
Arthur" said Tatum.
Silence fell.
Anybody else want a warrant"
asked the Justice. Speak now or for
ever after hold your peace"
Nobody spoke.
"fIl take Mrs Tatum's case first"
said Dodge.

And he was as good as his word.

and Mary Macarthur.
"Ill issue the warrants" said Dodge.
And so he did.
81 parole the defendants in their

il well to declare an intermisslon here
and now"
They all went out, returning to Pom
tica. Allen was still anxious TO serve
the warrant on Tatum, but Mrs. La
tum said il could be done when Mr.
Tatum arose Yesterday morning.
But Mr.. Tatum didn't go to bed IN
the Tatum home. About o'clock ne

sighted the machine later in the morn
ing and chased il, but tire OF the con-
stables machine ran off and broke up
the chase.
Ten o'clock in the morning had come
and Mrs. Tatum reflected that she
hadn't sworn out a warrant IN nearly
ten hours. Something had to be done.
She ordered all of the employees who
wouldn't take her orders to get right
out of the house. Some Of the servants
women quit, and new ones were in
stalled in the vacancies. But Pearsall,
the gardener, and Toussaint, the butler,
refused TO heed her demand. SO oil TO
Hayden's house motored Mrs. Tatum.
Warrants, the justice of the peace
figured, were running pretty low, and
as the probability is that the Tatums
will draw on them heavily from now
on, HAYDEN didn't want TO use them up
on mere servants. SO Constable Allen
was told TO go to Pontica and annex
Pearsall and Toussaint. They surren-
dered readily, and on the charge OF dis
orderly conduct were permitted TO go
until Friday morning.
Only one detail was yet TO be per-
formed the arrest Of Tatum. He had
telephoned news of the developments
to his attorney, Terence J. McManus,
who lives in Hackensack. ,'r. McManus
went down 10 Glen Cove. met Mr..
Tatum and they went before Judge
Hayden, who put the case over until
Wednesday. As there may be con-

probable that the cases on one side will
go over until Friday.
Tatum Bows TO Law.
Mr.. Tatum surrendered about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He and
Mr.. McManus were In conference for
about an hour and then went TO Pom
