him at p. m. The owners accepted
the offer. The miners ignored il.
There was hope that despite the
rebuff. Lloyd George would again
demonstrate his eleventh hour clev-
erness and bring the two factions
together in final settlement.
While the mine owners were be-
ing pressed by the public and large
employers to make wage concessions
| their business was being undermined
/ by German and American collieries
France took great quantities from
German mines and much coal from
the United States is being used here
This development gave members oi

DESIRE STATISTICS
ABOUT MORTGAGES

The Federal Bureau OF Census is
seeking information regarding the
amount OF encumbrances on homes
in Wilmington as OF January 1, 1921.
In compiling statistics it is neces-
sary to show the number of houses
mortgaged, the market value Of such
properties at that date, the amount
OF original encumbrance and the rate
of interest being paid.
About 5000 letters and blanks
were mailed to citizens OF this city
and only about 1000 replies were
received. The statistics compiled
from this small proportion would be
misleading and the result would not
be indicative of the actual condi-

The hearty cooperation of all the

SAYS, 10 YEARS

After sending for his wife, who had
remained behind him in Italy, about
len years ago, Giovanni Contino re-
fused to live with her after her ar
rival here. but continued his friend
ship with another woman. while his
wife lived in an adjoining house, it
developed in Municipal Court this
morning when Contino was arraign-
ed on a charge OF non-support Of his
wife
Leonard r. Wales, attorney for the
plainuff. told the court that even
when Mrs Contino arrived at the
station here. expecting to be greeted
BY her husband she was met only
by the common-law wife. p. War
rem Green, counsel for the defend
ant. stated that his client denied the
allegation. as we'll as other accusa-
fions OF the wife.
Mr.. Wales said that Mrs. Con-
tino. refused a home by her hus-
band. was compelled to live in a
house adjoining the one in which
her husband and his common-law
wife were living. An effort was even
made 20 have Mrs Contino caught
in a compromising position, the at
torney said, explaining that a man
was stationed in a room through
which she had 70 pass. and that
when the man accosted her, others
loomed in sight with cries OF as
constituent as IL the two had met
by previous arrangement.
Contino, at the November term OF
Superior Court, was granted a di-
vorce decree nisi on statutory
grounds but at the last session OF
he court, the decree was set aside,
upon application OF Mr.. Wales
when It was brought out that the
man himself was guilty OF the
crime he had charged against his
wife.
For several years Mrs Contino has
been living in Providence, r. I. she
said this morning that she married
Contino in italy in 1889, and that
her husband had not provided for
her in the past ten years
Confines common-law wife was IN
he court room at the hearing this
morning.
After hearing the testimony OF
Mrs- Contino, Judge Hastings re-
ferred the matter to Detective Nc
Dannen for investigation. He re-
marked. before taking this action
and after listening to points of law
brought before the court by the at
torneys, that "a whole day ought to
be set aside for this" He informed
he attorneys that when the case is
again heard he will want to hear
more on the law relating to such cir
oumstances as surround the Continc
case.
