Daughters Too Gay,
Dad Leaves Home

Mrs. Minnie Buys. who lives al
River Edge, has instituted action for
separate maintenance, charging that
Buys, who holds an executive posi-.
tion in New York City, where he
earns more than $4,000 a year, de.
serted her and their family last Sep.
tember. She says he left without
cause and for three months failed to
provide for her or the children. She
says there are payments overdue on
the mortgage on their home and that
she is practically destitute.
The husband, Richard Buys, lives
at 157 Jackson street, Passaic. He
enters defense and counter charges.
He says he left home because his
wife and two older daughters, Minnie
r. Buys, 19 years old. and Anita A.
Buys, Is years old, had entered a
conspiracy to make life unbearable
He says he is church member and
believes in keeping holy the Sabbath.
He says his daughters chose to go to
places of amusement instead of to
church on Sunday and that when he
demonstrated his wife opposed him
and supported the daughters. He
says he objected to the girls frequent
automobile rides at night, but that
his wife said they could and should
go if they pleased.
While these two older daughters
were enjoying extreme liberty and
furnished with the most expensive
and attractive clothing, Buys says,
neglect and abuse. He says they were
permitted to be dirty and unkempt
and slovenly. These children, three
young boys and baby girl, he says,
enjoyed none of the affection and
bounty lavished by the mother upon
their grown sisters.
He further says he offered to meet
the mortgage payments and reduce
the allowance of $40 week he gave
his wife, but she would not agree to
this, nor would she agree, according
to the husband, to the sale of the
home. He says she has two bank ac-
counts and that the older boy and one
of the daughters are employed, while
the other grown daughter, Minnie,
might find employment if she chose
to work.
In another part of his answer Buys
says he agreed to comply with a sug-
gestion from his wife that he pay her
$40 week while they live apart, but
that she refused this sum, insisting it
was not enough. Through her coun-
sci the wife asks for $50 a week for
herself and the children.
Vice Chancellor Bentley finally de-
cided that the husband should pay
his wife IS for each of the small chill
dren and SIS for her own support,
making a total of $35 per week. The
Court also ordered counsel fee of
$10O.
Buys is secretary to the vice presi-
dent of the Linen Thread Company
Of New York.

interest that has been aroused in the
minds of the electorate. I do not be-
lieve that ever before in the history
of the state have the people known
so much about what their legislators
were doing at Trenton. Never before
have they seen the wheels go round.
Never before have they looked so far
on the inside.
"Never before have the workings
of the bosses and politicians and the
selfish interests been so apparent.
"All of this has stimulated the peo-
pie of the State to take an interest
in their own affairs. This has been
especially true of the women.
"Out of evil there always comes
good. So l believe, as a result of the
actions Of the present legislative body,
there will be stimulation of public
interest that will give the State of
New Jersey much better government.
That is the outstanding feature of the
present session.

ment, whenever the people take gov
ernment out of the hands of politicians
and selfish interests, and into their

TWO OF MISSING GUNS FOUND

Two OF the guns taken by burglars
from the Hays-Hilliard Hardware
store a short time ago were found
by the city police last Saturday at
ternoon when n visit TO one Tony
Badamento brought some OF the
missing artillery 10 light.
A preliminary held at the court
house Tuesday afternoon brought a
plea OF not guilty from Tony. who.
unable TO furnish the $1,000 bond
required. must stay In the county
Jail until the October term of court.
The charge against Badamento Is
burglary.
II seems that Tony went into the
Cullen Mercantile company store
Saturday for tho purpose OF pur-
chasing some ammunition and having
forgotten the calibrc OF his fire
arms he went back to his house and
got the guns and returned with them
to the store. The clerk. who had
been advised by tho county author
tiles to be on the look out for amy
new guns. informed policeman Jack
NeHkc that Tony might be the man
wanted. Neskc then took the mat
ter up with officer Sam Kuykcndnii
and tho two followed up the clue.
Tony produced the runs when asked
10 do 30 by tho Officers but his
stories as to how he got them are
reported TO have varied considerably.
He finally said that he had found
them lying In an opcn space on the
ground In the west end Of the u. =.
yards but city and county officials
claim that had that been so the
guns would have rusted considerably
during the timc they remained In
the open.

"Mr. Webb also seems very much
interested in the welfare Of the con-
sumner.

sumner.
Il venture the opinion that Mr..

price OF wool when he is buying

the attention Of western sheepmen
that Mr.. Webb made any great eff
forts to stabilize the price Of wool
In 1920.
We have overheard it said that
Boston was the cheapest wool mar
ket in the world. Perhaps western
prices are not so high when COM
pared with world prices.
1T must be remembered that Mr..

Charges made recently by Charles
j.. Webb, of Charles j. Webb Sons
and Company, me Of the largest
wool and yarn dealers in this coun-
try, that woolmen in the west were
forcing up the prices on raw wool
n that such practices are fraught
with danger nave drawn fire from
local woolgrowers. kleber H. Had
sell, well known woolgrower of Raw
Inns and vice-president of the Wyo.
Woolgrowers Association. a t e s
that Mr.. Webb's efforts are not ap-
preciated in the west.
In a formal statement under the
caption Has Wool Reached the
Top?" Mr.. webb says in part:
80 few people realize that wool
had its boom last year and now
other commodities, like C p g r
steel and iron are following suit.
We must not forget that wool has
advanced fully 2OO% since 1921.
We must not forget, also, that wool
is higher than it ever has been, ex-
cept during the war period. We
cannot everlastingly keep booming
prices until we cause strikes and
then the inevitable reaction. Right
now the wool men are buying wool
in the far west on the Sleeps back
on the suppsition that there must
be a further advance.
"All these things go on without
any thought of the ultimate con-
sumner. Where will he get off? We
have only a year or two to look
back see, when we had the buy
ers strike. what it did to the
try. Is it not far better to study
conditions and bend our efforts to-
ward stabilizing prices rather than
everlastingly pushing them up?
The American business man pays
too little attention TO the advantage
derived from sterilization. We have
examples set us, however, by the
large businesses like the American
Wooden Company, U. s. Steel Cor
poration. Hart Schaffner and Marx
and others; but we go right on in
our own sweet way and to be
never able to learn by such power
full force of example hat is set by
these captains of industry. Stabil-
ization is a crying need of the coun-|
try, both of merchandise and wages, |
and unless we can in some way do
this. W. will run into another vicious
circle. which ends in disaster"
