A March Morning.

From ths Toronto Globe.
TThro' all the hours OF night the storm
had ragged:
From every compass point the winds
had fought
Each other. madly whirling weapons
wrought
From softest snow. Old Winter had
been Gagged
And tanned In spirit and his wrath as
suaged
BY springs advancing warmth, yet
once more sought
Sway TO regain by furious onslaught
And passionate endeavor. wildly waged.
As in fairy tale. the wizard wand,
Held by the sun. dispels tumultuous
night,
Displaying lacy trees outlined in white.
And snowdrifts' curves provoking feel
ings fond:
In glorious radiant stiffness morn hath
dawned,
Bringing to waking eyes unschoord
E delight.

Her Marriage Slavery,
Accused Wife Charges
Mother, Seeking to Keep Her
Daughter, Says Husband Had
Threatened to Brand Her

Amelia Siracusa, accused Of being an
improper guardian for her seven-year-
old child, Antoinette, told a story of
Sicilian married life in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, yesterday which
aroused the sympathy of Justice Dixie.
After questioning her daughter, JUS
tice Dixie said he would announce his
decision July 18.
Mrs. Siracusa is living apart from
her husband, fruit dealer of 20 North
Oxford Street. Their marriage was a
loveless one, she said, and had been
arranged by her parents. Her hus-
band, she said, beat her for small
faults and forbade her to leave the
house under penalty of having a mark
cut on her throat to remind her to
stay at home.
"After my marriage, which was
forced upon me by my father" she
said, 81 received $1,000 from my
father. My husband promptly took the
money and he also took sloo which
practically slave"
She worked hard, she said, to sup
port herself and Antoinette, loved the
child dearly and could give her as
good care as any one. Counsel for
her husband interposed to say that
she had admitted that she did not love
him. Justice Dixie responded that
Sicilian domestic rule was outlawed in
the United States, and as to Mrs.
Siracusa's lack of affection, said:
81 don't blame her; I wouldn't
either"

Referee Is Named
To Hear the Crane
Family Troubles
Wife of Importer Charges
She Had to Sell Effects
to Buy Clothes; Husband
Replies That She Drinks

Justice Finch yesterday appointed a
referee to hear the separation suit
against Wilbur E. Crane, president o. of
the Illinois Steel Bridge Company and
vice-president of Tenant & Sons, i'm
porters, at 10 West Forty-fourth Street
Mrs. Crane complained that it had
been necessary for her to dispose of
some of her effects, including house
hold furnishings, because her husband,
since they had lived apart, had not
supplied her and their two chill
dren with sufficient funds to buy cloth
lrg. Mrs. Crane said Mr.. Crane had
paid only her rent at 1876 Riverside
Drive and her household expenses. The
plaintiff said the annual expenses of
the family used to be between $4,000
and $4,000
Mrs. Crane charged that her husband
beat and choked her and tried to in
duce her to return to ST. Louis, where
he sued her for a divorce, later dis
continuing the action.
The statement of Mr.. Crane, in re-
ply, is that the unfortunate situation in
the family has come about through
MRS. Cranes fondness for liquor. He
denied that he neglected to provide for
his family and alleged that the ex-
sAavaSaHCe Oh ms WlIe kept MN IN debt.
The husband cited in proof of his al
legation of Mrs. Cranes incorporate
habits q trip he made with her to the
Panama Canal On the way, said Mr..
Crane, ne found his wife intoxicated in
tf elr stateroom and he had to pay a
bar bill of $3.50 contracted by her on
the steamship.
Mr.. Crane said he dropped the st.
Louis divorce action on the promise of
his wife to refrain from drinking and
to discontinue her extravaganza use of
money, which promise, he said, she
failed to keep. The husband alleged
that Mrs. Crane ordered him out of
their home because he refused to allow
her to go on a trip to Egypt or Ber-

Ammonia fumes which followed the
blowing out of cylinder head in the
ice manufacturing plant of John
Counes, confectioner and ice cream
dealer, at the corner of 149th Street
and Third Avenue, the Bronx, shortly
after 10 o'clock last night, damaged

After diluting the fumes in the cell
lar by turning in stream of water
from standpipe, firemen sent in call
for the rescue squad. Lieutenant John
Coffy and member of his squad,

said to have been responsible for the
blowing out of the cylinder head.

His wife is accused of conspiring
with Edward Rose, a farm hand whit
whom she was infatuated, to kill John
son. The elimination of the alleged
plot came last February, when some
one wounded johnson three times with
a shotgun as he was driving home
through the woods in a snow storm.
Rose has admitted that he fired the
shots and pleaded guilty yesterday to
a charge of attempted murder in the
second degree. He confessed that il

his employers wife and asserted that
he was the father of Mrs. Johnson's
three children.
