WOMAN'S WAY TO
GET SATISFACTION
Advised by Police TO Live Peace

Mrs. Mike Nisch and her husband
had domestic tiff at their home on
Arch street, Saturday night. On one
thing they agreed, and that was that
they would let the police arbitrato SO
OIL they marched to Commercial
street. Not satisfied with the advice
to go home and patch up their diff
ference, Mrs Nisch accused her hus-
band of theft. AS a result of her, &C
cusahon, Nisch was before police
court today charged with theft Of cut
lery valued at $1,000 from Landers
Frary & Clark's and was sentenced 70
80 days in Jail. He admitted one Of
two counts of theft.
Patrolman William Hayes went to
the Niscl1 home after the visit of the
couple, Saturday night, and found a
quantity Of cutlery Nisch claimed
that some of the knives were given to
him by Mike Matulis as a present
when the Nisch baby was christened
Paul V. Guiberson, of the sales de-
partment at the factory, submitted
records of sales made in the past two
years to Matulis and they failed to
reveal any of the articles. Matuls
said he gave a half-dozen knives and
forks to Nisch at the christening, but
none of them was among the state S
exhibits.
Police Lieutenant Bamforth testi-
fed that Nisch and his wife and child
called at the station Saturday night,
and, after being advised to go home
and live peacefully, Nisch took the
baby and started off. Mrs Nisch then
delivered her ultimatum:
IF YOU can't arrest him on that
complaint, you can for stealing cutlery
at Landers. Frary e. C1ark's. Come to
the house and I will show you
Nisch insisted that he was given
knives by Matulis and, probably be-
lieVins in the rule of $3.50. said some
of the knives and forks in question
were procured by his wife, who also
worked at Ianders
With a toss of her head and her
eyes flashing, Mrs. Matulis took the
stand in defense of her husband. She
said her husband had made a. gift to
Nlsch. but none of the property In
question was given by him.
IF YOU listen to his wife (indicatinx

said.

sence from the Yale Faculty until
Septembe Der in order to devote his time
to his duties as a member of the Unit

been professor of law at Yale since
his presidential term expired. His
request for a leave of absence was
granted by the corporation in re-
Spouse to a letter in which he called
attention to the Importance of his
work in averting labor troubles. His
letter follows:
My Dear President Hadley: I
have been appointed by the president

a labor commission whose duty it will
he to mediate in all disputes between
employers and employees in the busi-
ness Of war production. in order to
prevent strikes, and, by preventing

of such Importance that I have no
right to decline accepting it,
The duration of the work of the

I ought now to apply for a leave Of

The fact that the classes are small,
