CHARLES STILL
 ION WAY BACK

London, April Ex-Emperor Charles of Austria was still lon the way back' at noon today. A dispatch to the Central News from Vienna says the train in which he is return ing from Steinamanger, Hungary, to Switzerland, has been held up at F'rohnleeiten owing to trouble on the railroad line at Bruck.
 At Bruck a thousand workers seiZ- ed the station and would not let Charles train proceed until they had been given a chance to express their opinions. The eX-ruler arranged to receive a deputation and listen to what they had to say.
 The above despatch shows that the former Austrian ruler is still within more than 200 miles from the Swiss border. Frohnleiten is situ- ated in the part of Hungary called Styria- 14 miles from Gratz. capita of that province. Both Gratz and Bruck are more than 200 miles east of the Swiss frontier.

Wife Says She Got
 Rough Treatment
 As Christmas eff

When she wanted to come home from Orange, N. J., and spend Christ mas with her people, never having
 missed one, her husband punched her face, ruined her suitcase, and locked her in all day Christmas when all are supposed to be merry with the Yuletide spirit
 This was the story told by Mrs Lillian M. Yereance, 28 Monroe street, South Norwalk, when she ap- peared before Judge George B. Hin . man, asking a divorce on the grounds of cruelty and non-support- While she was confined and after son was born she was beaten. dragged through the hall by her hair, and supported by mother from her peo- pie, with an occasional meal given her by Zenas Williams, a bachelor who did his own K P. duty in the same house where the Yereances lived, with az randmother of Yere- ance- Zenas' description of the way the grandmother and husband abused and picked on Mrs. Yereance was graphic, so much so that it sounded like seven cats fighting, and order in the court was almost lost sight Of for the time being. His testimony was so damaging that other witnesses were not needed and Judge Hinman granted the decree. John J. Cuneo represented the plaintiff. The suit was uncontested- Her sojourn in orange seemed to be one big lemon

Leaders Pleased With Visit Of
 French Envoy

Washington, April 6-Repubrican leaders of the Senate today expressed qualification that the visit of Rene Viviani former French Premier and now Envoy to the U. S., has resulted in crystahzing the avowed purpose of the majority of Republican Senators and Representatives to support the Knox resolution for peace with the Central Powers by Congressional res o1ution.
 Discussions Viviani has had with Republican Senators regarding the Senate's attitude toward both the League of Nations and the Knox res olution can have left no doubt in his mind they say, as to where the Re- publican leaders of the Senate stand on them.
 Some of the Senators apparently resent efforts of Viviani as the ac- credited Envoy of the French gov ernment to influence the foreign pol icy of both the administration ana the Senate and pointed references to his activities will be made by has Senatorial critics in the Senate in the near future.
 It has been pointed out to Viviani that the Knox measure is a slmp4e ..businesss proposition'' entailing the with the German and Austrian gov ernments through regular diplomat ic channels, as well as ending the still existing technical state Of war
 
 many ard Austria which is seriously hampe1ing American commercial business and financial interests.
 He has been asked by Republican Ii senators why the United States should be denied the right any longer of having an ambassador at Berlin and consuIs throughout Germany, to look after American Interests, when the duly accredited diplomatic represen- tatives of France are doing business direct with the Germans at Berlin and elsewhere in Germany
 To this he Is represented as con ceding there is no answer.
 Viviani has also been informed that the Knox resolution paves the way for the negotiation by the American government of commercial treaties with Germany and Austria and of reciprocal arrangeme for the am ica;ble disposition of the property of German and Austrian nationals held in this country and of the property of American nationals held in Ger many.
 How far these negotiations would proceed or how soon they might be undertaken by the State Department cannot be determined until the Knox resolution is re-passed by Congress approved by the President, and then accepted >by both Germany and Aus tria- But Republian leaders declare they are convinced the Knox measure as the first step towards re-establish- ing this country upon a genuine peace basis, will have a sa1utory effect not only upon this country's commercial reLa tons but upon its economic con- ditiOnS.
