nlGk0 WIFE IN t1E,
 SENTENCED TO JAIL
Cave Man Methods Not Tolerated
 by Judge Kirkham

Coming home and finding that his wife was asleep in the bedroom in a nelghbOrS house next door, Alex An draisic of Franklin street "playfully' grabbed his wife by the hair, threw her on the floor and then kicked her in the right eye. In court this morn ing Alex pleaded guilty to assault and was sent to jail for 1 0 days by Judge John H. kirkham. His wife appeared in court with badly discolorcd optic.
 On the stand Mrs. Andra isic proved to be an excellent witness for her husband. She said that Alex had told her not to go next door, and when she disobeyed him he kicked her just once in the eve. She said this was the first time that he had ever assaulted her.
 Alex, in his own defense, said that he came home yesterday and found his children alone in the house. He immediately went next door and found his spouse asleep in one of the beds. He then started to admonish her and when she rolled to the floor he "acci- dentallN' kicked her in the eye. He admitted that he was slightly intoXi- cated at the time, having One-half a pint of Whiskey in storage from June 30. Stanislaw SlabOsky and wife, in whose house the assault was commit ted, appeared against the accused.
 A fine of $5 and costs was imposed on Mike SIis of 97 Broad street for as saulting WadislaW Thursk Osky, five years of age, on Sunday. Sis was rep resented by attorney Stanley Tracesk and the court proceedings were onliv- ened by several verbal tits between him and Assistant Prosecutor Joseph wifi fio1 that Sis picked up young Thurs kosky and threw him forcibly to the sidewalk, bruisng the youngsters right arm. It appeared that the boy had been wrestling with Sis' son and when the latter complained to his ia ther that he had been hurt the alleg- ed assault on Thurskosky followed.
 Ignatz CascO was in court on the complaint of Jacob Wrinkle, proprietor of the New Britain Cleaning company, for embedding $11 from him, was dis charged by Judge Kirkham. Winkle testified that he went to Hartford and Hired Casco to work for him. He also paid his board bill and gave him s4 in cash. CascO commenced work the following morning. He worked for about an hour and then disappeared leaving his tools on Main street Casco, in his owns behalf, said he left work when the other window washers went on strike. He is at the present time working in Hartford and intends to pay back the money he owes Wrinkle, he said. As there is a question as to whether he obtained the money under false pretenses, Casco was discharged

THE RAILS LETTER.

G. r. Rails of Atoka, in a let
ter addressed to an Oklahoma
City paper has the following to
say concerning an editorial
printed in that paper against
the $50,O00,000 road bill of the
state. 1t is reprinted here on re-
quest:
"In your issue of April 18th
you set out eleven points against
the $50,000,000 road bond bill.
You say that the $50,000.000

You do not give your figures

years will be practically moth

"In point six you say that the
$50,000,000 is placed in the
hands Of one man to spend.
Now, you certainly have not
read this bill, because the pro-
posed amendment says that the
bonds shall be placed in the
treasury of this state and shall
not be sold for less than par
with accrued interest and they
shall only be sold as required
for road construction.
81 presume you refer to the
governor when you say one man,
and / take it that the insinua-
ton there is that the governor
of this state cannot be trusted
hy the people. If that is Your
opinion of the governor, we
ought to know why you have
formed such an opinion. II the
expression is prompted to assist
you in your fight against the
good roads bonds, and you have
no knowledge of matters that
aussify the insinuation, you are
failing to comply with your OH
legations to your subscribers in
that you fail to furnish news
and information based upon
facts. The large majority of
the people of this state trusted

posed amendment provides for

Cleveland, Ohio, April 10 - The shipyards of the Great Lakes have
 been steadily turning out steamers for the Emergency Fleet Corporation

SPLENDID IDEA TO HAVE SHIP READY
American Delegates Are In No Hurry, Though They
 Can't Wait Forever

Paris. April 10.-'Talking cannot go on forever" and similar cryptic replies are the most definite tnforma- sociated Press has been able to ob- tain from the members of the Ameri- can Peace delegation. who decline to clear up the mystery which involves the proceedings of the Big Four.
 When asked yesterday why it was necessary for the travehng plans of the American delegation to be de- pendent upon the steamer George Washington, and why 1t could not go home on the Leviathan or on other ships sailing on an earlier date for the United States, one of the Ameri- can delegates replied that he did not think 1t necessary to make hurried plans.
 The harsh dsnunciation of the American Peace delegation by the French press and charges that the ordering of the transport George Washington to come to Brest before its regular time IS nothing short of blackmai1 have not affected the American delegates, who apparently are not surprised at the newspaper criticism.
 While the Americans repeatedly re- progress has been made in the last three days, one member remarked today:
 Tt Is not a bad idea to have the ship at Brest ready for the return"

MRS. COMPTON SHARES PERILS OF
 LIFE AMONG RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIKS

Omslt, Siberia, April 1o.---tCorre- spondence of The Associated Press) ---HDcdting adventures have fallen to the lot of Mrs. Carl c. Compton, of Chicago, who, with American wo- manly pluck, has accompanied her husband in many months of humani- tarian relief work among the Arme- nia-ns and later during the most ex- citing moments of the Bolshevil1 rev. oluuon. They had never left Illinois before coming to the Caucasus for the Committee on Armenian Relief. Now, Mir. Compton is in charge of the American Young Mems Christian As Foctation work at Omsk.
 They wero first stationed at Alex andropol, Caucasus. then in the hands of the Russians and were occupied with industrial relief work Positions were found for refugees s thoy ar- rived. fleeing from Turkey They es- ainate that they and other members Df the corps distributed clothing for l5O00 Armenian orphans, whose pa rents had been massacred by the Turks. Help was furnished to about 60, 900 refugees.
 Then, suddenly, the Russian revo- Hutton developed. The Bolshevilxi abandoned the battle front and the Turkish army advanced. It was deare1 that tho Germans would come down the Black Sea and seize the line from Batum to Tlf1ts. The American consul advised all the Americans to leave at once, and a special train conveying GO foreigners finally ar rived at Baku on tho Caspian Sea. There they were caught in a battle between Bolsheviki and Armen1ans on one side and Tartars on the other. The street in which they lived was dominated by Tartars who sprayed the roadway with nachine-gun bull Jets. For three days they fdHd not dare Ieave the house and had only bread 7o 1.-Two on. Eventually, by paying a high price, they were able to charter a special steamer for Astrakhan which is situated at the mouth of the " olga. We had to sleep on the deck throughout the whole trip" said Mrs Compton. '"The crew and the families of tho crew slept in the cabins, and refused to give them up.
