MADE HER LEAD LIFE OF SHAME
Wife Tells Appalling Story of Husbands
 Cruelty.

Declaring that her husband, David Berger, of TYP Howard avenue forced her to lead an immoral life, Mrs. Will helmina Berger, of 176 Park street told a sordid story of her married life, when she was arraigned in the City court this morning, on technI- cal charge of breach of the peace.
 According to the girls statement, she married Berger, who is a jitney driver, three years ago, but has not been living with him for the past six months. She claims that her husband took her to Beardsley park in his jitney on several occasions and forced her to meet men. She also alleges that he hired a room at the corner of North and Madison avenues and
 brought men to see her there. Money
 which the wife secured as the result
 of these visits, was turned over to Berger, according to the testimony which the woman gave in court. She stated that her husband told her he was saving the money so that he might make a home for her.
 Berger made a general denial of his wife's statements, and both cases were continued until tomorrow, by Judge Frederic A. Bartlett It is probable that Berger will be bound over to the Superior court. The man | and wife were arrested by members 1 of the vice squad, May 27, and an in- yestigation has been under way since that time.

KEEP LEAGUE QUESTION
 FROM OPEN DEBATE

Chicago, June 9-The League of Nations plank still was undef1ned to- day 24 hours before the Republican platform was to be presented to the national convention.
 Senator Watson of Indiana. head of the subcommittee maintained that in the end the Indiana plank with some notifications would get the support of all elements Sena- tors Borah of Idaho and Mccormick of Illinois thought there would have to be material notifications to pacify the irreconcilables. The mild reser- vation group also wanted changes made but in the opposite direction.
 Bolstering the prediction of an agreement however, was a feeling in many quarters that the league ques- ton must not be permitted to reach the convention floor where everyone realized it might set off fireworks of destructive nature.
 Aside from the treaty issue most of the platform material was in such shape that only the finishing touches had to be added by the sub-commit- tee. There still remained to be de- ternined however, some details of the Mexican declaration and some ques-
 
 relations.
 Realizing that it had serious party history to write. the subcommittee moved away from the swirl of dele gates. took up quarters in a secluded hotel bedroom, left orders that it was not to be disturbed for anyone or l for any reason, took off its coats lit orally as well as figuratively and set | tied down to it's job. Members pre- dicted it would not be ready to quit l before midnight at the earliest. Senator Borah was on hand from l the start although the league plank | was not to be taken up for severa | hours. He picked out a comfortable berth on a bed and waited.
 At the outset of its meeting the sub committee read through the re. 1 port of Chairman Hays committed l of I'll as it has had been revised ir | pre-convention conferences. It deal | with virtually no controverted sub l jects and most of it was written in | to the platform without extended dis I cusSion.

Aside from guesseS as to what the more than 500 uninstructed delegates will do when the roll is called for their votes, the main topic of conver- sation, assertion, counter assertion and conjecture has been the number of ballots through which the s'big three" can hold the lines of their in- structed cohorts. Should their forces remain firm indefinitely the search for a dark horse will begin in earnest to break the three-way deadlock that would result
 The convention escaped a second keynote speech, by the selection of Senator Lodge as permanent chair man, thus following the plan of 1912 and 1916 of making the temporary organization permanent.
 Todays business consisted of hear ing a report of progress from the committee framing a platform and a report from the credentials commit tee which takes up the permanent roll.
 Missouri got back her two lost delegates, through last nights action of the credentials committee which reversed the national committees de- cision that conditions in the e1ector- ate in Kansas City were so bad il would not seat any of the delegates That restored the total number ot I delegates in the convention to 9S4 and the number necessary for a nom | ination to 493.
