 The little wife went forward and reached out her hand to her hus- band. He took it for a brief mo- ment and returned the smile she gave him. The mother came as did the sister and then the three hur- ried from the room. As they pass ed out the little wife waved a pitiful little greeting and smiled through her tears.
 A few moments later the mother came hurrying back. "Have they talk en young Wade from the room yet?" she asked deputy. "I hope not, for I have brought him a clean col- lar and a tie which he wanted" The deputy took it, but it was tn orough- ly inspected before it was given to the prisoner.
 Not long after a big deputy sheriff walked into the courtroom and took his place alongside the prisoner. Five minutes later the two stood in the dim-lighted corridors waiting for Sheriff Simeon PeaSe. There was a gleam of steel at Wade's right " ist. The same steel was upon the left wrist of the big deputy. And twelve men are being selected who will say whether or not that steel will ever be left from Wade's wrist; who will say whether or not it shall be a hempen rope, a prison cell, or a ward in a sanatorium that | awaits him.

Wifie's WOolen Hose
 Caused All His Woes

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 31-With bills for five hats staring him in the face, a one-year-ol doctor bill un. paid and general financial debility expressing him, a. yourg man was summoned into the free legal aid bu- reau to explain why his wife was about to sue for divorce on the grounds of non-support.
 'T am supporting my wife, the young man told w J. Burke, legal aid attorney. "She has become en- ragged simply because I refused to allow her S5 for a new pair of woolen hose. Now all her ether hose are f1irnsy silk, but m.- wife wants one pair of woo1en hose for an occasional change. Hence my doctor bill for in- fiuenza.
 Last year she did the same thing, wore a. pair of silk hose one day and a pair of wooden hose the next In- f1uenza was the resuft.'
 Let her sue,'' ejacu1ated MT. Burke. sfYour case will stand.''

Preparing to Go Out at

The strike of railwaymen employed

terday. The 1,500 men employed in
the shops were all at their posts
Statements made by the general super
intendents at the Offices of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in Jersey City and
New York we're to the effect that there
was no strike and that "the situation is
unchanged" Inquiry at the shops
failed to reveal anything in the nature
of walk-out.
That there is still some apprehen
sion that a strike might occur or some
similar action be taken was evident
but officials were inclined to be opti
mistic An investigation was under
way from the office of the general
superintendent of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad in New York to keep officials
informed as to the real strength of the
men who have been making the strike
threats.
Daily Melting Not Held
The insurgent railwaymen, contrary
to their daily practice, held no meeting
at Grand View Hall, Jersey City, yes
terday. J. P. McCann, member of the
executive committee of the Eastern
Railwavmens Association, said that
the committee had nothing to say on
the situation.
The following statement was issued
from the Offices of the Pennsylvania
Railroad:
Not shopman on the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Philadelphia, Camden or
elsewhere quit work to-day This was
shown by reports received by General
Manager c. S. Crick. AS far as the
management of the railroad has been
able to ascertain. no strike call was
issued"
E. G. Riggs, executive assistant to
the president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad, declared
that the situation on the New Haven

fight Mr.. Drew said yesterday. "If
the other side is the aggressor we will
defend ourselves, and the open shop

measure of defense on our part"
Riley asserted yesterday that the
figures on the movement of freight
issued by the comm .stee are incorrect.
lie said that as matter of fact but
very little of the freight on the con-
gested coastwise piers had been moved.
isle lumber of trucks employed by
the committee, Riley said, had been
reduced from eighty to thirty seven,
chiefly because the committee mad
great difficulty in obtaining> men to
drive them. According to Colonel
Frederick A. Molitor, in charge of the
trucking operations of the citizens
committee, the number of trucks was
gradually reduced because the freight
congestion was being correspondinCly
iessened and there was no necessity OF
keeping the committees full trucking
lolce IN operation.
Service Boards Take Action
The Public Service Commission and
the New York Terminal Committee,
the organization created by the Inter
state Commerce Commission; the New
the Public Service Commission of New
Jersey. took hand in the pier termi-
nal congestion problem here yesterday.
An inspection of the freight unloading
facilities of the railroad lines on the
East and Harlem rivers was begun by
Deputy Public Service Commissioner
Charles V. HALEY jr. and B. c. Craig,
j. A. Miller and James Mayburry jr.,
of the New York Terminal Committee.
The committee, it was declared, has
made material progress in reducing the
congestion at the freight yards in and
around New York, and is now turning
its attention to constructive measures
to prevent if possible like occurrence
in the future.
Particular attention was given dur
ing the inspection trip yesterday to
the Harlem River terminals. There are
several of these, among the most i'm
rortant being the 125th Street termi-
nal. They all serve the Bronx. and
Commissioner HALEY is particularly in
terested in these. The rapid growth of
the Bronx and the congestion which
occurs at the freight terminals in that
borough is drawing attention to the
probable need of new and extensive
terminal improvements in the Bronx
