WIFE CHARGES
HESLEW LOVER
Husband Held When AL
legged "Soulmate" Is
Found Dead.

Scranton, Pa, June 4.-Frantic
with grief at the sight of her soul
mate lying dead with bullet wound
in his head. Mrs. Joseph Nemec, 3s,

and brought about his arrest by the
county authorities. Nemec is held
on a charge of staying Alexander
Miskell. 25. star boarder in the Ne
mec home at Simpson. The prisoner
denies his guilt.
When the body of Miskell was
foVnd in a bed in the Nemec home
Mrs. Nemec hugged and caressed his
body and became hysterical.
you killed my lover" she scream
ed at the top of her voice, as she
pointed to her husband.
When the police and an undertake
er arrived and prepared to remove
the body of Miskell to a morgue
Mrs Nemec became historical.
The death of MIsKell and the ar
rest of Nemec records another chap
ter of a sordid love triangle. "A
year ago Miskell, n miner. came to
boa rd at the Nemec home. He and
Nemec's wife became very friendly
and last April they eloped to a city
in Connecticut. Mrs. Nemec refused
to return to her home unless Nemec
permitted Miskell to return and live
with the Nemec family. The hus-
band consented ard the trio returned
to Simpson.
Nemec mas BEEN brought to the
county jen in this city and will he
arra:gned tomorrow. He is 20 years
old. The Nenec family came from
Russia, and Miskell was also Rus
sian.

Capture Denied.

London, June 4.-The Persian Le-
cation here today officially denied
the reports that Bolsheviki had en-
tered Teheran. capital of Persia.

FEDERAL ACTION MAY
HELP END CONGESTION

Branding as arbitrary the action
of 1000 striking Philadelphia long
shoremen, the Shipping Board yes
terday notified all it's operators
and managers that the increase in
ship operation entailed in the mems
demands could not be permitted,
The Philadelphia dock men asked
for an increase from so cents to
81 an hour. They struck in viola
tion of their contract, which runs
until September 80 and assures
them the prevailing wage rates for
the Atlantic Coast.
The Shipping Boards action is

Waterbury, Conn, June 4.-Ten
thousand excited persons, mostly
strikers, followed 400 former serv-
ice men to the city hall this morn
ing and created wild scene when
refused permission to see Mayor
Sandland.
The former service men wore
their uniforms and went to the city
hall in a body, despite warning
from the police.
When the sergeant leading the
column gave a command to enter
the city hall there was a struggle
with the police. and finally the COL
umn was halted. Mayor Sandland,
from his window, witnessed the
scene. The police argued the men
to go to Library Park, about 200
yards distant, saying the mayor
had a message for them. When
the former soldiers reached the
park they found a company of city
guardsmen with glistening bayo-
nets waiting. -
The mayor consented to meet
fve service men and told them he
would not permit the parade. After
an uproar the soldiers filed bacI,
to headquarters. surrounded on all
sides by policemen and. city
guardsmen carrying fixed bayonets.

PLAN TO BLOCK
FUNDPROBERS
Republican Senators Oppos-
ing Extension of Investi-
CATION to Elections.
tPublic Ledger Service.D

Republican opposition developed
in the Senate yesterday to the reso-
luton of Senator Atlee Pomerene, of
Ohio, providing for extension of the
Senate committee investigating cam
paign expenditures into election ex-
penscs. due to the belief that the
Democrats are attempting to make
the political issue this year one of
political finances"
After blocking action on the reso-
luton by recessing instead of ad-
journing last night and thereby cut
ting off the necessary passage of a
legislative day required for the con-
sideration of a resolution. the Sem
ate late in the afternoon referred it
to the Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses with instructions that it be
reported out favorably today.
: VIII BE Bitterly Opposed.
Indications were last night that 1t
would be bitterly opposed and prob
ably defeated by a strictly party
vote, or that action would be de-
layed through parliamentary proceed
ure, so that nothing more could be
done on the matter until December.
There is no doubt in Washington
that Democratic circles from the
White House on down consider that
the investigation into preconvention
expenses has been the kindest thing
that the Republicans have ever done
for them, whether Intentionally or
not.
The net result as they see 1t so
far is that in exchange for the
demolition of the Palmer boom the
Republicans have destroyed Wood
and Lowden. weakened Hiram John
son and furnished the Democrats
with campaign thunder of the finest
sort.

FOOD VALUE OF MILK.

Much has been written of the food value of milk, but for technical au- thorities of the highest order one can do not better than to turn to Bulletin No. 2i5 of the Connecticut Agricultur- al Experiment Station at New Haven, The Food Value of Milk written by Miss Edna l.. Ferry. Any resident of Connecticut can get this bulletin free by addressing card to the Ex- lperiment Station at New Haven
 Just few of the general facts about milk are reputed here from the bulletin:
 MIX is the only food that supplies all of the food elements which the newborn animal must have in order to live and grow.
 Among wandering Indian tribes the child whose mother fails to nurse it is doomed to die because no other milk can be had.
 Tn countries where milch animals are scarce, as in Japan and China, mothers from necessity, if not from choice. nurse their children for reia- lively long periods, sometimes for two and even three years.
 'In countries where dairy cattle are abundant the COW is the foster mother of large part Of the infant population which for one reason or another does not have it's mothers I milk.
 The world has had no more pitiful tragedies in the present war than the | starving to death-or to lifelong in- efficiency - of large infant popula- | ton.

HOW MANY CHICKS?

One well grown, matured bullet from every six eggs incubated is the stan- dard set by many pouItrymen when they start the incubation and breeding season, says Roy F. Jones, poultryn1an for the extension service Of Connecti- cut Agricultural college at Storrs. While most everyone hopes to do bet ter, it is after all about the average obtained from many farm figures and 1t serves as standard to work from in planning seasons work
 Starting with any given number of eggs, q 50 per cent. hatch. early and
 late, and under all conditions. is all that can be expected. The chick nor tality and losses due to all causes up
 to the time of sale or maturity win
 average 70 per cent. of all chicks matched.
 One-half of every lot of chicks may
 he expected to be cockerels If we
 then cull our mature bullets from 10 10 70 per cent. depending on the uua1- ity of the flock, we have one good bullet for every six eggs set. The time of matching will. of course depend on the breed method of care and management and the time in the fall when the highest production is desired. The general tendency is to hatch too late rather than too carly according to MT. Jones. Hatchine dates accepted by many poultrvrnen who want maximum fall and wintA, production are, for Plymouth Rock and all meat breeds, not later thar April 1. For Reds and Wyandottes 1t should be not later than April 15 ] and for Leghorns and all light breeds not later than May Is.
