ASKS SALE AND DIVISION
OF PROCEEDS IN SUIT
Charges Second Mate Deceived Him
Into Signing Over Possessions;
Fears Bodily Harm.

Declaring that he was induced by

tons on the part of his second wife,

ploye of the Government, to change
the title to his home, 629 Maryland

father of seven grown children, today
asked the District Supreme Court to
enjoin his 44-year-old wife from enter
ing the home, which she has occupied
with him and her 15-year old daughter
by a former marriage. None of his
children reside with him, the father
explains. Sale Of the property and
division of the proceeds are also asked

Charges Persecution System" Begun.
Through Attorney Marvin E. Bischoff
the husband says he was married at
Hollywood, st. Mary's County, Md,
January 8, 1927, and that he then
owned the home in question, worth
$500 and encountered for $500, and
that he had a quantity of furniture,
cash in bank and notes, which he
charges the new wife set out to get into
her possession. He asserts that she
started shortly after the marriage a
system Oh persecution ana caused MIN
to become a nervous wreck, unable to
eat or sleep regularly" She demanded,
he says. that he change the title to
the real estate, which, he asserts, he
was reluctant to do because of his re-
gard for his children. He finally agreed
to do so February 81, last, he asserts.
Burroughs informs the court that his
wife'S treatment of him did not i'm
prove, despite the transfer of the title
to his property; and four months ago
his wife refused to ALLOW him to touch
her in any manner" and as a result
they are occupying different parts of the
house. When he demonstrated, he says,
she told him If he was dissatisfied, ne
could move out, as 'she cares nothing
for him."

The plaintiff declares he is in bodily
fear Of his wife, who continues to nag
him. despite his feeble condition, and
causes him great mental suffering. She
refuses to leave the house, he states
and declines to disseminating what he
calls persecution. He takes no meals
at home, Burroughs says, in an attempt
TO avoid meeting mis- wife. He says his
life will be seriously endangered unless
the court grants relief by excluding the
wife from the home.

McKELVIE SAYS RETAIL
BREAD PRICE TOO HIGH
Farm Board Member for Wheat
Declares Farmers Loss Not
Consumers Gain.

By the Associated Press.
Samuel r. McKelvie. Farm Board
member for wheat, said today he
thought the retail price of bread was
too high.
Other board members recently ex-
pressed opinions that the retail price of
meats and fruits and vegetables should
be reduced.
McKelvie said it made little difference
in the retail -1rice Of bread whether the
farmer received $3.50 or 81 a bushel for
his wheat.
This subject is of vast Importance to
both the producer and consumer" he
said. The price to the former Is toe
low. Therefore, If we can secure q
correSpondingly low price for bread and
thereby enhance consumption of wheat
not only will we have benefited the
consumer but also some ultimate benefit
may accrue to the producer"

ROAD CONGRESS AIM
Worldwide Improvement in High
way Construction Is Major
Purpose.

Sensing worldwide improvement in

president of the American Organizing
Commission that is preparing for the
sixth International Road Congress here
October to IL, said last night that
Washington will witness great gather
ing of foreign engineers and highway
administrators, representative OF more
than so foreign governments. Each
delegation will number from IS to 80
persons, he said, in illustrating the
magnitude Of the conclave.
The convention will devote its atten-
ton to problems of engineering. admin
tstration and financing of highways. as
we'll as traff1c regulation. An interna-
tional exhibition of bodybuilding ma
chinery. under the auspices of the
American Road Builders Association,
will be feature of the gathering.
THE direct public reaction to the
congress will be the impression that
world affairs are getting back to their
normal course" Mr.. Chaplin said. THE
sessions will serve to rivet public atten-
ton to the question of highway trans
portation, a question that Is Of vast
economic significance TO every one, and
they thus will help to turn the worlds
thought toward more fruitful channels.
1T is well known that trsnsporta-
ton is one of the most important keys
to economic progress and inaSmuch as
highways are built at comparatively
small cost and are built quickly We
can look for an expansion of highway
systems all over the world within the
comparatively near future"
