and found girl friend visiting his
wife. The wife announced that the
friend was staying for dinner.
Whereupon Eustace is alleged to
have slapped Mrs. Eustace. Then
he tore up all her clothes except
the dress she wore at the time
Mrs. Eustace. wearing the only
dress she said she had left, told
Judge Isaac r. Hit of the destruc-
ton of her clothes.
The husband claimed that the
clothes he tore up were given to
his comely wife by other people
and he preferred to do all the
providing himself. This grievance
has ranked for some time, he said
and it eliminated last night when
he found the other girl was there
against his wishes. another thing
he didn't like.
Judge Hit sentenced him to 80
days and suspended sentence.

the occupants of the building
to the street, grew to four
alarm proportions, and pro-
vided several thrilling rescues.
The blaze, which required more
than an hours work before 1t was
brought under control, caused con-
sternation among residents OF the
nearby section who saw the bright
flames leap into the air.
No one was injured, but seven res
cues were made by private citizens,
firemen and policemen. The fire was
confined to the roof, the third,

on the roof and the fourth floor.
Wind Famed Flames
The fire was thought to have
started from a chimney. 1T was
famed by a high wind and poured
dense smoke around the streets for
about five blocks.
When the alarm was sounded in
the building, f. p. Roderick. so, of
the second floor, dashed in and res

Police and firemen at the scene
declared that it was the quick

that saved the lives of some of the
people on the upper floors. kettler

Some Trapped in Apartment
Many OF the occupants of the
blazing structure took refuge in
nearby apartments. but several
aged and III persons were trapped
in their apartments.
Two sisters, the Misses Emma
and Eleanor Marston. both more
than 80 years Of age. were helpless
in their fifth floor room until fire
men arrived and carried them to
the street.
Two policemen. arriving at a
second floor apartment, discovered

Members of Congress will be
Blow to interfere this year if
the Capital Traction Company
presses its petition for higher
street car fares, it was learned
today.
Higher fares were averted last
summer by a flood of protests from
Senators and Representatives. Many
of these legislators have now de.
cided not to interfere again.
The reason for their change of
heart Is that the same organiza.
ton which solicited their protests
last summer on the grounds that
it was improper to raise fares while
the merger plan was pending in
Congress, later appeared before the
Senate District Committee ana did
Feel Aggrieved
Some of those Senators who re.
sponded to the appeal Of this
organization last year are of the
opinion that they We're double
crossed" by it when that organiza-
ton tried to block the merger.
One of the first kilograms to be
received by the Public Utilities
Commission protesting against
action on the fare petition last
year was sent by Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg of Michigan.
Senator Nandenberg said today
that if the petition for higher
fares is renewed this year, he will
make no protest over it's considera-
ton by the commission. His part
in the proceedings will be that of
an interested spectator, he said.
To Renew Petition
The board Of directors of the
Capital Traction Company has
authorized it's executive committee
to renew the petition whenever it
thinks the time proper.
This probably means that the
company will soon make move
for higher fares.
