into city police headquarters this
morning and politely oustcd again
by Judge Perkins. It proved only
one thing and that is that Il house

wife and his two children wished
themselves into his nome. Then, he
said, arguments between him and
his wife began and were ccntered
about the brother.
According to information some
of these arguments got into the
flstic line with the husband using
fists on his wife. The brother is
said to have interfered and beat up
the husband, relieving him of a
tooth.
The husband then sought to have
the brother arrested on a charge Of
assault. In the meantime the wife
had no particular bone to pick but
wanted hef husband pay check.
She went to her husband S employer
and sought to get it. She was re-
fused.
When the lineup faced the court
this morning the wife said that she
wanted to swear out Il warrant for
her husband charging battery un-
less he gave her the pay check. The
husband wanted to charge the
brother with assault but after wait
ing about an hour for the Judge to
appear he cooled off considerably
and decided ne didn't want to file
the charges.

to make Il collecting agency out of

Removal Of the consulate from La
