FEARS WIFE FAVORS HER OWN CHILDREN Husband, Held for Assault, Tries to Argue With Judge John “Jokubezyk, aged 53, of 163 Oak street, who night, as he was leaving his place of employment by Sergeant Thomas J. Feeney, who investigated a com- plaint from the man’s wife that he had assaulted her on the night of feptember 26, was fined $15 and given 60 days in jail by Judge M. D. Baxe in police court today. The judge said that he felt the fine should be levied but out of con- sideration for the man's family he suspended the jail sewtence and placed the man in charge of Proba- tion Officer Edward C. Connolly with the warning that another appearance in the local police court would mean his being sent to jail. Sergeant Feeney testified that he found Mrs. Jokubczyk and four chil- dren in the home, when he went there to investigate the complaint of the wife, with nothing to eat but some cabbage soup. On his second visit to the house with the pglice matron, Mrs. Metty disclosed ‘that the family larder consisted of some bread and potatoes. s Mrs. Metty testified to having ex- amined the man's wife on hearing her complaint of assault and related how she had found her limbs, and shoulders badly bruised. Her testi- mony also brought out the fact that Jokubezyk had not worked in over a month and in that time the only means of support for- the wife and family of seven children at home was gained from the sum of $20 re- ceived as rent from a store in the house. Claims 1llness ‘When Jokubczyk took the stand in his own defense he stgted, through an interpreter, that he had not been able to work steady because of ill- ness of long standing. He claimed that previous to this illness he had worked steadily and had contributed faithfully to the support of his fam- fly. 1In answer to a question by Prosecuting Attorney Woods as to whether he had requested his wife to make liquor for sale, he answered that he had asked her to make it, but not for sale. Probation Officer Connolly stated that the case had been brought to his attention some time ago and pre- sented a serious problem. The fact that Jokubczyk had been married twice and had children from his former marriage seemed to be the seat of the trouble as Jokubczyk be- lieved that his wife was showing tavor tc her own children to the de- triment of the others. After sentence had been nounced Jokubczyk had away from the witness stand where he persisted in arguing with the judge. pro- Sokolowski Fined $10 7 Michael Sokolowski was fined $10 for assault on his wife. Sokolowski was arrested yesterday afternoon shortly beforg three o’clock by Officer Delbert Veley and Sergeant Michael Flynn wife had made a complaint at police station. ‘When the officers went to the home of the couple at 10 Gold street Sokolowski admitted having struck his wife according to the testimony offered before the court by the officer. His wife bore evidence of an as- sault when she took the stand having a cut over her right eye. She told a story to the effect that her hus- band came home and began shout- ing for his dinser. She was doing the best she could to accommodate him when he became too impatient and struck her over the eye, she testified. Sokolowski stated that he had not worked in some time but had a job to go to in Suffield. Judge Saxe told him fo take the job and to re- main out of trouble in the future. Raymond E. Peck, aged 22, of 12 Maple street, who was arrested last night by Motorcycle Officer William O'Day who said he discovered Peck driving an automobile through Broad street at a speed of more than 40 miles per hour, was charged with speeding. When he pleaded guilly he was fined $10, a penalty recommended by the prosecutor. Abuses Policemen ‘William Jones of 163 Daly ave- nue, who was arrested about 8:10 o' lock last night on North street by Officers James Sullivan and Daniel Cosgrove who found him in a drunken condition and attracting a large crowd by his persisting shouting, pleaded guilty to a charge ©° drunkenness and not guilty to the charge of breach of the peace vhich had been lodged against him. Both officers testified that he had acted towards them in an abusive manner when they attempted to send him home. Finding all efforts to quiet him in vain they placed him under arrest. Jones refused to make a state- ment when asked if he desired to do so and Judge Saxe asked him to stand up while he talked to him. Asked by the judge if he could not keep away from liquor which seem- ed to be his downfall he answered that he could. The judge Ihen told him that he would let him go 1t he promised to take care of himself and keep out of trouble but warned that his next appearance before the court would mean his being sent to the state farm.

Zehrer Discovers 13 His Unlucky Number There is no doubt in the mind of Fred Zehrer of this city, a member of the Franklin and Marshall college football team, that No. 13 is his unlucky num- ber. He returned to college on Sep- tember 13, received No. 13 foot- ball jersey and suit and on the first day of practice suffered an infection in his foot that kept him from starting last Saturday's game. He did get in for the final minutes but his team lost, 13 to 0. In the first practice this week he fractured his collar-bone and will be out for several week: —_— { ence of nolle.

S. NOTES Louis P. Slade, principal of the Senior High school, urged the stu- dents at the regular morning as- sembly today not to mark or deface the school property, especially walls, Principal Slade said that the mat- ter of-defacing the walls of the school by marking mames and sym- bols had come to his attention yes- terday when it was found necessary to take the paint off part of a wall to wipe out a defacement. “It would take a very clever de- tective force indeed to stop the marking of the building, but I firm- ly believe that students are neglect- ing their duty when they allow fel- low classmates to destroy school property in their sight,” sald Prin- cipal Slade. In conclusion Principal Slade said that “the taxpayers of this city have supplied us with one of the most country. It is our duty to keep it in the best condition.” Quigley Will Receive Convention Delegates At a meeting of the executive committee of the Polish-American club last night at 476 Main street it was unanimously voted to extend to Mayor George A.

It was during the last 10 years, Lawrence said that America m tered the problems of production, but this brought the country, some> what violently, face to face with the prohlcm of distribution, the factor {upon \\hlch he believes, hinges. By “distribution,” he said he meant detecting markets, selling in those markets and, in short, finding an outlet at the cheapest possible ost. It is a new problem to many industries, he said.
