edge and that she added indignity to
indignity to injustice by placing the
garbage can under his bed because he
had forgotten to empty it before going
to work. They lived at 52s West
Eighth avenue.
The suit itself was not up before
Judge Dana today. He was listening
to arguments over d motion filed by
John Schenck, attorney for Mrs.
Wright, asking that Wright be COM
PEELED to pay Mrs. Wright alimony at
the rate of $50 a month during the
tendency of the suit. When the case

unnatural look She rose from her
chair and wavered towards the door

and the two attorneys helped her to
a chair in the office of Charles Bower
clerk of the district court, and Wright
called DIR. A. 3. Jeffreys by telephone
Mrs. Wright had suffered an attack
of heart trouble and was in bad con-
dition. Wright lowered around her
chair constantly until DR.. Jeffrey ar
rived and administered a stimulant
Then he and the driver carried Mrs
Wright to the elevator and out to the
waiting taxicab and she was taken
| home. The arguments over the motion
were dropped then and there.
Before the physician left Wright
asked the amount due for his services
and paid the bill, notwithstanding the
| fact that the couple has been separat-
ed for weeks and he is suing her fol
an absolute divorce, alleging that there
can no longer be any harmony be-
tween them as married people.
Douglas Mote, attorney for Wright
| stated after the incident that it would
| have no bearing whatever upon the
divorce action; that the case would be
pushed.

Farmers Win Price Fight
Against Chicago Dealers.
Every Buyer Except One Has
Now Come to Terms.

Chicago, Ill, April S--The milk
strike is over and the farmers have
won. Every dealer in Chicago, with
the exception of the Borden concern
has agreed to the terms demanded by
the Milk Producers association and
the picketing of milk shipments in
tended for the other big dealers was
stopped Friday night by order of r. b.
Swift, president of the association.
In the meantime, representatives of
the Borden company in Chicago are
communicating by wire with the New
York office, in order to obtain au-
thority to concede to the price de-
manded-s1.55 per 100 pounds for the
ensuing six months.
Although the milk producers have
won their battle for higher prices, the
methods they employed in forcing
dealers to meet their demands may
result in a federal grand jury inves-
tigation.
Michael L. Igoe, acting district at
torney, asserted that many complaints
had been received by the government
which indicated the possible existence
