"Slim" Caldwell
Arrested by Wife
Yankees Pitcher Gives
Bond for Failing to Pay
$3.50 a Month Alimony

Ray Caldwell, pitcher for the Yankees,
who is known to baseball fans the
country over as "Slim," never pitched
himself out of tighter hole than he
finally managed to work out Of yester-
day afternoon. Facing Ty Cobb with
three men on bases, two men out and
the score tied in the ninth inning will
be easy for "Slim" from now on.
The difficulties Of the pitcher arose
out of the marital troubles Of himself
and mis- wife, Mrs. Nellie r. Caldwell,
OF Salamanca, n. Y. The legal umpire
in the case had already banished
"Slim" to the Ludlow Street jail, when,
at the last minute. the pitcher was able
to sneak over a third strike and retire
the side. But it was by a narrow mar
gin.
A month ago Mrs. Caldwell, who has
been parted from her husband since
1916, brought suit for separation. Cald-
we'll failed TO appear and Mrs. Caldwell
was awarded alimony of $3.50 a month,
which her husband failed to pay.
Alleging that she feared her husband
would leave the jurisdiction Of the
courts Of this state as soon as the
baseball season closed, Mrs. Caldwell
obtained an order Of arrest from JUS
tice Sears, in Salamanca, which re-
quired Caldwell to furnish a bond Of
81 900. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Arch
ibald went up 10 the Polo Grounds and
placed the pitcher under arrest.
Caldwell didn't happen to have 81 900
in cash in any Of his pockets, and
there being no officer of the baseball
club about with authority TO advance
that amount from the days receipts
Ludlow Street Jail doomed big. At the
last minute, however, friend who had
been summoned by telephone arrived

The first conference is expected to
deal largely with general questions,
without specific action, except possibly
on undisputed revisons. The principal
contcsts. will come over the war profits,
income, postage and inheritance Sec
tions.
The House members are expected to
stand out for revision of the pre-wsr
graduated war profits system and for
higher rates on swollen" profits and
large incomes.
Elimination Of the Senate parcel post

not in dispute, the Senate having made
no changes.

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.--I. is an open secret that congressman are try ing to dodge the prohibition issue for the benefit of their individual political fortunes.
 Many members of both houses who are known to be opposed to prohibi- ticn on both economical grounds and from personal preference have re- fiained so far from opposition to the Webb resolution for submission of 2 constitutional amendment for nation wide prohibition to the states for their dc cision.
 These solons maintain that 1t IS better for the states to vote on the question once for all and they are confident that the required two thirds vcte of the states cannot be obtained as only 25 states are in the dry column DOW and the remainder are densely populated and opposed to dry laws.

GOVERNOR Tells
ABOUT FEEDING
OF GUARDSMEN

Gov. Pinkham today sent to the
house of representatives a lengthy
communication outlining the reasons
for feeding members of the National
Guard at the armory in 1916, partly
from immigration funds.
The governor says that guardsmen
were fed at the armory between jan
uary and March IA, 1914. One Satur-
day afternoon Brig. Gen. Samuel |.
Johnson informed the governor, the
report continues, that he was going
to Hawaii and that many of the
guardsmen had exhausted their own
means of shelter and, subsistence, and
that some Of the men were forced to
sleep in the open.
Upon learning this, the governor
says he ordered that cots be placed
in the armory for such of the guards
men as were without shelter. To
settle for the time being the food prob
lem, he says he gave 500 out of his
own pocket and that, at the same
time, Gen. Johnson contributed $50.
In addition to this the governor Sc
cured an additional $50 from private
sources. .'
On January 8 or 10, says the report,
things came to- a point in the guard
where he was forced to turn to the
appropriation for the aid of the in
digent and the unemployed
The governor points out that, in,
aiding the guardsmen. $s3Q.37 was
used from territorial funds, in addi-
ton to $694.10 that he secured. from
private persons, making total OF
$152447 X. - -
