of his royal father told the monarch that he would
have none of this wholesale marriage business,

as well as the queen Of my realm" His father
took the decision of his son very much to heart
and some have gone 80 far as to say that his boys
stubborn adherence to his word helped to end his
royal fathers life. When his majesty Maha
vajlravudh-known thereafter as Rama VI
came to the throne as there was no queen and
no heir, a crown prince. or, as they say In Siam,
an heir presumptive had to be chosen. and the
lot naturally fell to the late Prince Phitsanuok,
who was a brother of the king by the same
mother
Siam is a polygamous country. According to
Siamese law a man may have many wives as
he can support. The households of royalty ran
into almost countless numbers Old King Mong-
kut, the grandfather Of the present monarch used
to say:
II like large families. have eightysix
children"
The present king has something like twenty
half-brothers and any quantity of half-ssters In
doing away with the royal harem his majesty
struck blow at one of the Oldest and most funda-
. mental customs of the country. And II he

noted ever since he came to the throne.

Armstrong in Court for NOn-suppOrt

Emmett Armstrong of New Haven APP
peared before Judge Dickens in the
Municipal court Wednesday, May .,
for contempt in having failed to com
ply with a former order of the court
enjoining him to pay ten dollars per
week toward the support of his family
The defendant had been before the
attention of the court at other times
during the past several years, and II
Judge remarked hat term in the
House of Correction seemed to be the
last resort if hope of a change of mind
were to be entertained. No faith
could be had in the defendants prom
Use said the court, as he had been given
every chance to redeem his word and
support his family. Instead the town
of New Haven had given to the suppo
of his wife and two children slightly
less than four hundred dollars.
Counsel for defence argued that Arm
strong had lately been judged physical
" unfit to work and was wholly in
capable of earning single penny. He
had become a total nervous wreck
Here counsel Donoway risked the
opinion that the husbands nervous
condition might be attributed to the
belligerent character of the wife, who
had made home "hell' for him. "She
has Buffalo Bill and Wild West skinned
mile" counsel remarked. Not only
wood and such projectiles did she hurl
at husband on his attempt to share the
responsibilities of housekeeping, but
the vilest of names, and "she has gu
vocabulary" he persisted.
The court was inclined to leniency
when it was learned that a total dis
ability compensation had been request
ed by Armstrong, in favor of his fam
ily as well as himself His brother
Julius Armstrong, pledged surety that
lighter weekly allotment to wife and
children would be regularly paid by the
defendant Court then fixed the terms
OF the new order at So per week, to be
paid to the treasurer of the town OF
New Haven until further notice. Arm
strong. was instructed to report to the
court each 60 days, by letter or in per
son, and the contempt proceedings were
to be held in allegiance during the
pleasure OF the court.

GERMAN CABINET
 IS REORGANIzED
(Continued from First Page.)

Paris, March 25.-The German government has reached a definite agreement with the workmen in tlte Ruhr Valley, where the general strike has been paralyzing industry and where hostilities between soldiers and workers has been in progress for sev- eral days past, according to news reaching French semi official circles today from Berlin.
 The basis of the agreement, the advices state, is as follows:
 Formation of a WOrkmen'S army charged with maintaining order.
 Remodelling of the cabinet with labor unions participating.
 Disarmam of the troops which took part in the recent coup d'etat.
 Passage of laws for. social reform and the carrying out of administra- tive reforms.
 Specialization of the mines, particu- larly the coal mines and the potash workings.
 Dissolution of counter-revolutiona formations.
 Improvement of the food supply system.
 Majority Parties Agree.
 All of the majority parties, it is declared, have accepted the conditions under which the government does not consider it will be necessary to form a new cabinet. believing a few changes will suffice.
 The dispatches represent the ma jority parties as believing new re- actionary movement is not impossible. They point out that General von Seecht has failed to disarm the Baltic troops, which still are concentrated 8 few miles from Berlin under the command of their former chiefs.
