Wife Faints When
Cripple's Prison
Record Is Revealed
WOman's Plea for Clemency
Denied and She Learns of
I0-Year Jail Career When
Observation-Disclosures

Edward T. Tate, crippled by pro-
longed rheumatism, hobbled into the
Court OF General Sessions yesterday to
be sentenced after having pleaded
guilty to attempted burglary in the
third degree. Before sentence was
pronounced a well-dressed woman who
had been sitting in the courtroom
rose. She was the prisoners wife.
She pleaded that her husband be
given another chance, saying she was
certain he would not get into trouble
again.
After hearing her plea. Judge Wad-
hams told her That Tate's prison record
had covered period Of nineteen years.
and that he had served prison terms
in half dozen states. Amazed and
bewildered Mrs. Tate sank into a chair
and had to be carried fainting from
the courtroom Tate, it is said, had
been successful in concealing his
prison record from her. Judge Wad-
hams sentenced him to two years and
six months in state prison.
week ago Mrs. Tate visited Judge
Wadhams and related her experiences
since she was married, about six years
ago. Shortly after he MARRIAGE she
said, Tate disappeared and she went to
Providence to search for him. She
found that he had been convicted of
burglary and was serving a term at the
Rhode Island State Prison. When she
visited him at the prison. she said, he
confessed that he was under Indictment
when he married her. and said that he
ran away to prevent her from learning
Of it.
Thinking this his only jail experience
Mrs. Tate accepted his story, and when
he was released they lived in a 212th
Street apartment. She went to work as
a model at SO all hour.
On the night Of October %, accord
ing to Mrs. Tate's story to Judge Wad-
hams, Tate left the house ostensibly
to visit some old friends. Mrs. Tate
said that she did not want him to 70
because she was afraid he might get
into trouble Shortly after he left the
house he was arrested in the drug
store of Alexander II. McRae, 4257
Broadway, while irving to open q safe

hech he hastily s scraped the dirt and leaves
back seized the fat hickory nut and
scampered back to his hiding place
IN the top of hemlock tree. Once
there he began to think, thing he had
oeen too excited to do before, and he
remembered that his other big cousin,
HAPPY Jack the Gray Squirrel has a
nablt OF burylng nuts under leaves and
IN the soft earth, putting onlv ono in
a place. Could it be that Rustv ~
FOX Squirrel had the same habit? II
looked very mucn that way.
But even if he did he must have
storehouse, too. The thing for him to
90 now was to spy some more and trv
to lind that storehouse. He iust
couldn't and wouldn't believe that
Rusty hid every nut he found in the
leaves or ground. No, sir, he wouldn't
believe that. There must be a storaI
house somewhere, and he would find i
Why didn't Rusty come back there?
He had had plenty of time to 20 over
to the big hickory tree and return 70
bury another fat nut 1t must be thai
ne was taking those nuts somewhere
else. Chatterer hurried back THROUGH
the treetops TO the hiding place from
which he had first watched Rusty. Sure
enough. there was Rusty going in quite
another direction.

Chattcrer the Red Squirrel snickcrcd
glcefully as he scampcred over to the
place where he had seen Rusty the Fox
Squirrel hide fat hickory nut under
the leaves in the Green Forest He
snickered because he thought himself
very smart to have 50 soon discovered
where Rusty was hiding those fat hick-
ory nuts and because he was planning
TO take every one of them for himself
He has been busy all morning, so
there must be lot Of them in that
hole thought Chatterer Z" won't take
ono now. Iii just have peep at
them aud then go away so that he will
not suspect anything. If he doesn't
suspect anything he'll fiji that hole and
then leave them until he needs them in
the winter. He'll get little surprise
then. Yes, sir, Rusty will get little
surprise then. There won't be a nut
there and he won't know what has pc-
come of them. I won't have to hunt for
those nuts among the dead leaves; he
IS doing that for me, only he doesn't
know it. This will be the easiest har-
vest I've ever known" Chatterer snlck-
cred again.
BY this time he had reached the place
where Rusty had hidden that fat nut.
Chatterer hurriedly pulled away The

to hole. There was no hole there,
Chatterer looked both surprised and
puzzled. Il am sure this is the very
spot" ne muttered. He pulled away a
few more leaves and then he noticed
little soft place in the ground as if the
surface of the earth had been disturbed
recently
Chatterer began to dig hurriedly.
Almost at once he felt something hard.
"Ha, I thought sol" exclaimed Chat
terer, and brought out fine fat hick-
ory nut. 1t had been buried just be-
meath the surface of the soft soil. He
tossed it aside and dug faster than
ever. He wanted to get to the opening
to that hole he was sure was there
somewhere, and he wanted to do it be-
fore Rusty should return.
But though Chatterer made the dirt
fy he found no hole and he found no
more fat hickory nuts. That one was
the only one. Quite forgetting that
he didn't want to be caught there bv
Rusty, he lost his temper, which. YOU
know. he loses quite easily. and scat
tered the leaves this way and that wav.

RAIL BILL WITH
 MANY PROTESTS
 REACHES WILSON
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The rall- road bill was sent to the White House today and the president is expected to act on it one way another before the roads are returned to private con trol next Monday. The measure is opposed by the railroad brotherhoods and their representatives now m Washington, considering the presi- dents proposal for settlement of their wage demands, were drafting today memorial to the executive asking him to veto the bill.
 A similar request was made yes terday by George P. Hampton, man. aging director of the Farmers National council. who asked that the president hear a delegation from his CrganiZa- tion tomorrow. Other big farmers organizations, however, in a letter sent to the White House today, urged approval of the legislation. There has been no indication from the White House as to the presidents views on the measure. He. has had before him for several days digest of the bill prepared by Director General Hines after the senate and house conferees finally had agreed to the measure in the form in which it was approved by the house last Saturday and the sen ate last Monday.
 Wilson Has 10 Days to Act
 After it was received at the execu- tive offices today the bill was sent to the department of justice for an opin- ion as to it's validity.
 In the usual course, such an opinion would not be ready under four or five days, but to meet the present rather unusual situation the department is expected to speed up it's operation. The president, of course, has 10 days, excluding Sundays, or until midnight March s, to act on the bill before it would become a law without his sig nature, but since he has ordered the roads returned on March 1, he is ex- pected to act promptly.
 The farmers letter asking approval of the bill was signed by w. I. Drum mond, chairman of the board of gov ernors of the International Farm con- gross and T. c. Atkeson, Washington representative of the National Grange. It pointed to the memorial drawn up at the recent meeting here of repre- Sentatives of the International Farm congress, American Farm Bureau fed eration, National Grange, National Farmers union, Farmers National congress, National Milk Producers federation, American Cotton associa- tion several state farmers unions and the Dairymen's League of New York
