The husband admitted that he pushed her and she fell, atriking her head against the kitchen stove, but he proved to the satisfaction of the court that he had been without a warm meal for several weeks simply because his wife had heard he was paying attentions to another woman, when, as & matter of fact, he was entirely innocent of the charge, WOULD RECONSIDER SECOND POST ROAD Commissioner Macdonald Calls Present One Adequate Till 1936 That the Boston Post road, wid- ened under present plans, will ade- quately met the requirements of tratric until 1936, and that the auxiliary highway parallel to it which was sanctioned for construc- tion by the General Assembly of 1927 would cost in the neighborhood might well be moved to wonder at the workings of the minds of the| principals who would sacrifice their time, money and even their reputa- | tlon and that of others by giving a| ‘public airing to conditions which the | average person ordinarily would| hide at any cost. Welfare workers| trequently come in contact with cases which are surprisingly easy to pettle, from outward appearances, yet their ramifications as they un-| fold themselves in the course of in- tigation and inquiry, are so far reaching and of such complicated | character as to fairly shriek defiance | of solution except through the/ courts. | The recent case in police court, in | which an assault was precipitated by | the failure of a husband to give llisi wife sufficient room in their bed was not the most unusual in the history| of the court, according to observers whose experience dates back over a number of years. It was not the most pathetic, either, these author- itles say, despite the touching sight of a little girl tearfully relating her reaction to the fight between her parents, culminating when she Yashed her father's hand with a| knife. Hundreds of other cases are| on record, it is said, that rival this | one in all its aspects. Wife Became Marathoner The husband who, some years ago, insisted on having his wife pass the | factory in which he was employed, every time she went “down town” in the afternoon, was put in a class by ‘himself, not alone for the unreason- ablenens of his command but also because of the excuse he gave for it. Iis place of employment was more than & mile from his home and not | in the direction his wife would or- Qinarily take to reach the shopping Aistrict, yet he compelled her to take' the roundabout course so that I:e could look out of a window in the factory and see whether or not she was wearing & new hat and coat which he had allowed her to buy with the distinct understanding that she could wear them only to church on Bunday. 1t happened that the cause of his arfaignment in court was not con- nected with his attitude towards her wearing apparel, but during the in- vestigation into the case, this fea- ture came out and he did not deny it, His contention was that the hat and coat were paid for out of his earnings and he had the right to dic- tate the use to which they could be put. It developed that this was but one of the restrictions imposed on her, and the authorities marveled at her abllity to refrain from com- plaint for as long a time as she had done. Comversed Ouly During Quarrel Another case recalled locally for its unusual features had to do with a married couple who lived in three | rooms for more than a year without exchanging so much as a word ex-| cept when they were quarreling. They had been married more than 10 years, according to the story un-| folded to.the authorities, before the | husband took to liquor. For several months his wife tolerated his over indulgence but when he became €0 zddicted to the habit that he lost time from his employment and his health began to fail, she remonstrat- ed. That was the beginning, and whether the end has come yet or not is not known, for the coupie moved {be given further consideration | were made and | most entirely new of $10,000,000 and should therefore by the present legislature was the rec- ommendation made by Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald in a letter sent today to Governo John H. Trumbull. As it was incorporated in the trunkline system by the 1927 legis- lature in Chapter 282 of the Public Acts of 1927, the auxiliary Post Road, sometimes referred to as the Merritt Boulevard, would parallel the present highway between Strat- ford and the Connecticut-New York state line where it would join with the Hutchinson River Parkway P g through Westchester county to New York city, It would furnish an almost direct route, approxi- mately 33 miles in length, from Stratford to the state line and thence directly to New York., This project has no relation whatsoever to the petition now pending before the legislature for a privately con- structed and operated toll highway across the state. Immediately after the passage of | the act calling for the construction of the road, which went into effect on July 1, 1927, the highway de- partment began making detailed studies of the proposition. Airplane photos of practically the entire arca several highway “lines” were experimented with, Two routes over which the road might possibly pass were selected. Eoth of these routes, in order to avoid expensive grading and cutting, would necessarily proceed over al- rights of way. The estimated ultimate cost of the project, including the purchasing of the new right of way over ecither route, was fixed at $10.000,000. With reference to the present Poston Post Road, which the auxil- iary road is designed to relieve, the commissioner sums up the situation as follows: The road now extends at an ap- proximate width of 40 feet from the New Haven city line to the New York state line at Port Chester with the exeeption of two places, one at Dead Man's Curve in Fairfield and the other in Milford. Construction of these two stretches, completing the entire widening of the Post Road, is expected by 1931. The Post Road is now carrying a peak load or approximately 30,000 vehicles per 24 hours. As it will ultimately be widened it will have a capacity of 50,000 vehicles per day. Tt s esti- mated, however, that the latter point will not be reached for seven years or approximately in 1936, Commissioner Macdonald further points out that inasmuch as com- mercial vehicles are prohibited by constitutional provision on the Hutchinson River Parkway into which the parallel Post Road would | feed, it is doubtful if the 33 miles of the road in Connecticut could be greatly used except for nassenger traffic. Commercial traffic would necessarily be limited to that be- tween local Connecticut points. Although no opposition was voiced |to the passage of the bill in 1927, Commissioner Macdonald in view of the above facts feels at this time that the present assembly and the public in general through a legis- lative committee hearing should have an opportunity of reviewing {those facts and of again passing to another city shortly after their troubles became public. It was brought out that the wife was never in want for the necessities of life, a fair portion of the weel earnings being left on a shelf in th. kitchen every pay-day by the hus-| band, and so far as could be learned, the meals were served amply and | opinion that the legislature should | promptly by the wif: Never did she nccompany him out in the evening: in fact, she usually spent her ev nings at the home of a relative in the neighborhood while her husband patronized a saloon from which he seldom returned before closing time. The arrest in this case came about through the finding of the door lock- ed, by the husband on his return from a session over the foaming bowl. Ugly from drink and almost ready to drop anywhere, he battered at the door and Kicked the pancls until they gave way. His wife, who claimed to have turned the key in- advertently, called the police for her protection, fearing she was about lo be made the victim of a terrible ussault with all the fury of his pent up wrath behind it. Hair Husband's Favorite Grip The number of married men who have a penchant for dragging their wives out of bed by the hair in the wee small hours of the morning is almost unbelievable, the authorit state, and not every case is the on growth of heavy drinking, Som ed that day lost when sun set on & complete round of har- mony in the household, Complaint and testimony in police court } ings bear out this belief, officials say. Not all the nily squabbles that come to the attention of the polic and welfare workers can be ju Llamed onto the male member of th fighting pair, the reports show. Many wives have been proven to have ver- 1tably driven the breadwinner into the courts, and frequently for slight causs.

Nl‘ N DATLY HERALD. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY %, W80, paign, he said, the oppasition party, as-was expected, criticised the -fer- eign policy of the administration and suggested that important and un- solved international problems were interfering with the cutivatien of a friendly attitude abread. There was nothing in the election, he added, to show that the couatry took such atatements periously and he express- ed the hope that they were not given serious conalderation in other coun- tries. At the same time, Mr. Cool- idge warned the people of America against taking a serious view of the campaign utterances of opposition parties abroad. Declaring again that the govern- ments of foreign nations are most friendly and that the United States had no important disagreements with any of them, Mr, Coolidge as- serted that the “respect and con- The United States he said in an address delivered at the commence- ment exercises of George Washing- ton university, is on friendly terms with every nation with which it has diplomatic relations and through the mainténance of its traditional policy of isolation is able to render valuable and disinterested assistance to other countries in adjusting the problems which arise between them. In addition to delivering an ad- dress the president was invited to the graduating ceremonies to re- ceive a degree. At the same time, the university conferred a similar honor upon Mrs, Coolidge. The ex- ercises were held in the Washington auditorium, “Entangling Allances” Referring to George Washington's famous admonition against perma- nent and political alllances, Mr, Coolidge sald that in the parlance of the times, an alllance meant the banding together of two or more na- tions for offensive or defenstve pur- poses, and had no reference to “an association of practically all nations in an attempt to recognize their common interests and discharge their common obligations.” While America would fail “dis- gracefully” in its mission in the world, if it did not defend its own independence, sovereignty and other inalienable rights, he added, it would fail also if it did not respect them in others, “8o long as we continue as a na- tion,” the president went on, botl foreign and domestic affairs will constantly produce new questions for consideration. He added that there was no cause for alarm in the fact that at present “there are sub- jects requiring diplomatic adjust- ment,” declaring that there are more and more methods by which the certainty increases that they will be composed, Foreign Relations Amiable “It is possible to say of our for- eign relations at the present timec that they have rarely been in a more happy condition,” Mr. Coolidge said. “The uncertainties which existed south of the Rio Grande have been very much relieved. The domestic disorders in Central America are be- ing adjusted with a satisfaction that is almost universal. Even the mouths of those who would rather criticize us than have us do right have been stopped. The recent Pun American congress held in Wash. ington exhibited a spirit of friendii- ness and good will which was most gratitying. *“Competent and experienced ob- servers have assured me that our relations with South America are on the most satisfactory basis that they have been for 26 years. On the far side of the Pacific our situation is equally satisfactory. We have no important unadjusted problem with the government of any European nation with the exception of Russia. Outside of that country all the iy- sues that arose, even out of the World War, .have been adjusted. “We believe in a policy of nation- al defense and maintain an army and a navy for that purpose. Other countries have similar military ecs- tablishments. We are committed to the principle of limitation of arma- ments. The other great powers through the public oplnion of their people and the binding obligation of their treatles aie more firmly com- mitted to this principle than we are. Each government is consclentiously Seeking to extend this principle. Tt does not raise any issue among us.” Recalls Recent Campaign During the recent political cam- fidence of European governments is especially evidenced by the unanim- ous request, not to say inaistence, that citizens of the United States hould contribute their assistance and counsel in the effort to make & final adjustment of the problem of veparations.” While this country had no association with any parti- cular foreign, group, he said, they all knew that in the last analysls they could apply to America when they were in need of ita friendly of- fices, _ “This is the position which I judge Washington wished his country co occup: the president continued, “While he warned us against alll- ances with any, he was no less urg- ent in counseling the maintenance of friendly relations with all ® ¢ ¢ We do not seek isolation for its own sake, but we cherish our position of unprejudiced detachment, because through that means we can best meet our world obligationa.” SNOWBOUND GROUP FINALLY RESCUED Tale of Mutiny, Gun Rule and Sullering Told in Wyoming Rock Springs, Wyo., Feb, 23 (P— Rescued mentbers of the truck cara- van, snowbound for five days in the Red Desert, today told a story of suffering, mutiny and military rule estdblished to keep them together. Fifteen men, women and children of the party, which numbered sixty, were brought to Rock Springs yes- terday and the remainder were ex- pected to reach here today. Herman C. Keiser president of the company operating the trucks, sald he was compelled to “take con- trol” to keep the group together. Three men, suffering from prolong- ed cold, wanted to start out for the Union Pacific railroad tracks wherc they believed they would be able to stop a train, he said. “I realized the hazard of such a trip through the impenetrable bliz- zard,” he related, ‘and squelched the plan, ordering the men to ohey or accept the consequences. Finally it was necessary to use force to re- straln them. T don’t blame them though—I belleve they were mad. I think the storm had driven them to temporary madness.” Mercury Under Zevo Other members of the party said the storm was the worst they had ever expericpced. The temperature was far below zero and the group was dependent upon the bodies of the trucks for sheiter, Women and children were huddled into one truck with all available coverings to keep them warm and the men paced back and forth about the machines to prevent being over- come by the cold, The party had only a little food left, and that was being rationed out {in two meals a day when provisions and bedding were dropped from an airplane Thursday night.

B NEARING REALITY Losdoa t9 Puris Trains May Ren Within Five Yours The greatest engineering project of all ages—that of joining England and France by a subterranean pas- sage may become a reality within the next five years, if planas do not £0 amiss, The project is not new as it was talked about for more than a century and fought against again and again by England. Recently however the English parliament has passed a bill fuvoring the gigantic undertaking anl work in that direc- tion may start in the near future, And so, the dream of engineers for more than a century will at last be- come a reality. Deapite the fact that at least 30, 000 workmen will be engaged in the ‘construction of the tunnel, it is estimated that it will take at least five years to complete at a cost of approximately $170,000,000, The English terminus of the tunnel will be Dover and the French terminus between Calais and Boulogne near a place called 8t. Raphael. The un- derground passage will be about 40 miles in length, while the greater part of the tracks will be sub- merged about 45 yards under the bottom of the English Channel. The passengers will be taken to the sub. terranean stations by means of ele- vators, where they can board the electrically driven traing and make the distance between either term- inl within 40 minutes, a saving of anywhere from six to eight hours. Hundreds of engineers during the past years have studied the problem thoroughly and all agree that there are no great technical «bstacles to overcome. The land under the chan- nel is of a chalky composition — therefore giving iittle resistance to the huge dredges. There remains however, one great material draw- back—that of ending England's complete {sglation by connecting her with the mainland, To overcome this, the plan contains apecial means by which the tunnel could be com- !pletely inundated, or filled with poisonous gases within a short space of time, if there was reason to close the passageway between the two countries. In case of war between the two countries, England could isolate itself an1 become an “island” again without much difficulty. This means of finding protection for England was material in winning the assent of many leading English political men, who were heretofore very much opposed to the project. Until a few years ago the plan was not thought of seriously. There was talk of building not one, but four tunnels. One of these was to be used entirely for motor vehicle trai- fic, to enable business men, bankers, diplomats and the llke to make frequent and unbroken trips to the French capital and back within 24 hours. According to present plans the electric trains will be able to carry 30,000 passcngers and 30,000 tons of merchandise daily. A special power-house to supply the necessary electricity for running the trains will be built, and here again the project stumbles over another ob- stacle. England, naturally, wants the power-house on her soil and France likewise on hers. This point un- doubtedly will raise quite a contro- versy between the two countries be- fore it is amicably settled. In the early years of the last century a French engineer named Mathieu presented Napoleon with a plan for a tunnel which the *Little Corporal” studied minutely and ' thought & great deal of, but never took action on. The Frenchman's plan however did not call for a di- rect underground connection, but a tunnel to the Varne sand bars, situ- ated about half-way between France and England. The sand-bar is about | 45 to 50 feet under the top level of the channel and it was his plan to build a sort of an observation post. The Franchmaa went even further and proposed the building of a large town for the purpose of establishing a rescue port for foundering ships. | Napoleon at first thought seriously of the proposition, but after study- You P RACE WITH WIDE Eino Purie Takes Up Challenge Refused by Narmi - New York, Feb. ' 23 M—A new and younger flying Finn has come to the front to accept tho S8wedish chal- lenge that the veteran Paavo Nurmi has declined. Eino Purje, who has beaten the more famous Finn at 1,- 500 meters, makes his first start in America tonight in the national In- door A. A. U. track and field cham- pionships at Madison Square Garden as the principal opponent of Edvin Wide of S8weden. So far in the indoor campaign, the Swedish schoolmaster apparently has been the only star willing to meet any opposition at any time, but Purje shows equal willingness, say- ing he has been looking forward to a meeting with Wide ever since he began his track career and that he believes tonight's race will give him a rating above either of the more famous international aces. Although running at an unaccus- tomed distance, his opponent's fa- vorite route, the young Finn, holder of the world's record, is none the less confident, He claims a mark of 9:05 for two miles over a poor track in Finland and believes he is capable of lowering Nurmi's famous mark of 8:58 1-5. Wide, although he says little, is in fine condition and ex- pressed his confidence earlier by is- suing a challenge to Nurmi to meet him in tonight's race. He added a little more proof last night by turning in two miles in 9:05 4-5 in Boston. He ran over the same track Nurmi complained of when he made two miles in 9:12. The clash betwcen the Swedish student of education and the young Finn provides the principal attrac- tion of the meet, due to wholesale withdrawals among the stars. Nurmi cvaded a meeting with his rival by his decision to run in the two-mile steeplechase with his Finnish team- mate, Ove Anderson, whom he has beaten frequently this season, as his principal opponent. Leo Lermond of the Boston A. A., last year's cham- plon, also decided not to compete with Wide, explaining that he had a bad cold.

Hart is to decide whether another legal effort will be made to convict him on a charge that he murdered Turney Cunning- ham, hotel manager, last October.

It became known yésterday that Liggett had been named co-respond- ent in & divorce bill filed by a hus- band whose name was not made public. ' The papers had not been served on the wife involved. She escaped process servers last night by remaining in the government build- ing where she works as a typist.
