THREATENS TO BRING
 CHILDREN TO POLICE
If Husband Should Be Sent to Jail Mrs. Albert Anderson Would
 Look to City.

Mrs. Albert Anderson of 25 Flor ence street, whose husband was ar rested at o'clock Sunday morning on a charge of drunkenness and breach of the peace, told Prosecutor G. w. Klett in police court today that her husband is a good man, but some times when he gets paid he feels hap DIV. She furthermore said that she has been married fourteen years ana loves her husband more and more each year. so if he should be sent to jail she would take her five little chil- dren rigkt up to the police station and make the city pay for their sup port during their fathers incarcera- ton.
 Anderson. who lives on the second floor of the tenement at 25 Florence street and Albin Johnson who lives on the first floor, were arrested OE Officer John Carlson for breach Of the peace The officer said that when i,c arrived he found Anderson some what drunk, with his clothes torn and his throat scratched, and he com plained that the man downstairs had beaten him. Johnson, 'the man downstairs" said that Anderson had
 
 it. so he went up to eXpostulate, whereupon he was attacked. Mrs Anderson added to the general maze of testimony by accusing Johnson Of knocking down her mate, and Mrs. Johnson just as stoutly declared that Anderson was the man who attacked her husband. A neutral witness, Mrs. Larson who lives on the third floor, said that MT. Anderson comes home drunk and happy and makes much noise and it was that noise that in duced Mir. Johnson to interfere. Judge J. IT. Kirkham said both men were old enough to know better, and fined each of them $5 and costs.
 At 3:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon Joseph Harmaravich of Hartford ave- nue came to police headquarters and imparted the information that he had been informed he was to be arrested at o'clock. If it was true he wanted to know it, he said. Chief Rawlings told him he was fifteen minutes early, but he would overlook his over-zeal- ousness. He placed him under arrest and In court this morning he was fined $5 and costs for assauting Peter Ma zoic in a Hartford avenue saloon Sat urday night.

brought up in Lincoln county as a girl
and was known as "Mattie" Curry.
As "Mattie" Curry he went to school
at Hamilton and after he was grown
he taught school, associated with wom-

SUES FOR WAGES WIFE KEPT
Man Says She Saved $4,000 and In
tends to Leave Him Nothing

New York, May AFTER having
turned over his pay envelope to his
wife for twenty-seven years Jeppe Mel
son, of Perth Amboy, yesterday asked
Vice Chancellor Stevenson in the Jer-
sey City Chancery Court to order a
partition of funds saved by the wife.
Mrs. Nelson, her husband says, has
saved $4,000 from his earnings and
intends to cut him off in her will. Both
parties to the suit are about " years
old.
They were married in 1883 and sep
arated in 1910, when Mrs. Nelson made
a will which gives 1900 to her daugh-
ter, $4,000 to son and $1,000 and
mortgage to the other son. The chill
dren are married. Two inheritanees
of his, the husband asserts, were put
into mortgages by his wife.
Mrs. Nelson said her husband gave
her the money to do with as she liked.
81 often asked him for one kind
word" she said. "When I got back
from Europe in 1910 with my daughter
my husband was standing in the front
door. | kissed him and asked him if
he wasn't glad to see me back. Ger
tainly not he said. You ought to
have stayed where you were. % The
children corroborated their mother.
Vice Chancellor Stevenson reserved de-
cision.

GIRL ELOPES WITH HUSBAND
Mrs. Chane, IA, Adds Another Knot in
Tangled Ohio Case

Findlay, Ohio, May 7.-Disguised
as woman of thirty, with a long
dress, Mrs. Roland Chane, formerly
Ellen Gilmore, IA, has tied another
knot into kinky case, by clipping with
her own husband, Roland Chane, 19.
The girl was in the detention home
last December when it was quarantined
for scarlet fever, but managed to elude
the officers and escape over a high
board fence to her sweetheart on the
outside.
The two went to Monroe, Mich,
where they married. When they re-
turned the girl was taken in charge
by her parents, and the Juvenile court
sentenced the youthful husband to the
workhouse for nine months.
The common pleas court ruled
against this proceeding and liberated
them both. Then the father of the
bride fled action to have the marriage
annulled, and the girl was sent to the
detention home again. Her second es-
cape from that institution has chagrined
the officials.
