P What with St. Moritz filled with
fashionables from every part of Europe,
tq say nothing of Parisians in great num-
ber-s going to the Pyrénées or Chamonix
ffr their winter sports, and a large con-
logent already in the South, Paris so-
dfiiy is what you might call dull. This
'was reflected in the Friday night gather-
iifcs at the restaurants and cabarets, and
ipfeticularly last night at. the Ritz. A
W informai parties, foowever," were to
î*:.noted. The Comte and Comtesse
Krtrand de M un and the Comte and
Comtesse Bertrand de Voguë were din-
ing together. Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Pearce, who have just returned from an
extensive trip in Africa were among the
diner,s as were Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Rite; the latter was the pretty Marcella
Duggan, daughter of Lady Curzon. Mrs.
J.*Ellis Fisher had four guests and others
seen were the C'ount and Countess Za-
imoyski, Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Tunison,
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fuld and Senor
and Senora Guillaume Gomez, who, al-
though of the same name, do not happen
tofcbe the Gomez family causing so much
i amusement at the Michodière.
(P A marriage of interest to our coun-
trymen, especially those familiar witih
Newport, is that of Mr. Marius Vos, the
well known sculptor, who was an art
student here some years Ibefore the war

years. His bride is Mlle. Aline Porge,
daughter of Dr. Daniel Porge, an emin-
erft physician of Paris. The civil cere-
roony took place several days ago and

YOUTH SHOOTS

AS THET PRAY
Unnatural Crime Act
Of Illinois U.
Student
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.—AJlan Schumni,
17-year-old student at the University
of Illinois. shot and killed his father,
William Schumm, and put three bullets
into his mother's abdomen and hips,
severely wounding' her, in the most un-
natural crime ever to confront the St.
Louis police.
The youth returned home from a
party at 2 o'clock this morning, but in-
stead of going to bed he began pacing
the floor. After -walking nervouisly
through the house for some time, while
his parents listened in amazed anxiety,
he called hie mother and father to the
living room.
"Do you bel1eve in God?" he asked,
when they confronted him in bewilder-
ment.
"Yes," they answer&d.
"Then pray."
As the youth spoke he drew a revoIv-
sr from his pocket. Terrified, the elder-
Iy couple dropped to their knees on the
êloor.
Fires Pointblank.
Before either could speak the boy
fired point-blank at his father, killing
him instantly. Then as his mother
sh,riel;-ed in terror he turned the gun on
her, firing three times. When she col-
lapsed he walked to a téléphoné, cal'el
friends of the family and announced
that he had killed his parents and want-
ed someone to call the police.
The youth was calm when the officer
arrived, readily surrendered his gun and
accompanied them without resistance
to the police station. There he was placed
in an observation ward, to be held for
officiai action of an undetermined
character. It was considered probabe
that a sanity h'earing would be held first,
however.
Allan refused to make a statement
explaining his act either to police 0,1' to
reporters.
At. a hospital where she was in grave
danger the mother said that the boy
had corne home for the Christmas holi-
days intent upon his books, but .she deni-
ed that. he had been drinking. The, boy
had been acting strangely, she said, but
neither she nor her husband had been
able to account for his behaviot..

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-M:r. Al Smith,
former President Coolidge, and Mr. Julius
Rosenwald, the adminis,trators of the
$6,000,000 legacy of the late Mr. Conrad
Hubert, have divided the sum among
33 institutions in the United States. The
three men spent eight months arriving
at their décision on how to give away the
money.
The administrators hope that the
method of their division results in char-
ities receiving some $15,DOO,0,00 in addi-
tional gifts from other sources.
St. Vincent's Hospital in New York,
the Boy Scout and Girl Scout movements,
the Provident Hospital in Chicago, and
the Beekman Street Hospital in New

American Apparatus Is
Looked At Through
Magnifying Glass
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The efforts of the
Daily Telegraph to paint the United
States navy as a Goliath alongside of
which the British navy is but a feeble
David suddenly found support today
when the Sunday Express leaped bold-
ly into the same arena with more
"figures" to color up the fantastic
picture. And this David of the Express
hasn't even a slingshot! /'
The particular point from the mass
of figures which the Express selects to
emphasize—in the hope that ail other
figures will be forgotten during the
heat of the arguments—is the number
of torpedo tubes possessed by the
respective navies. As this type of
weapon is carried chiefly by destroyers
and submarines, of which the - United
States possesses a large number of
craft mostly obsolete, while Great
Britain has regularly retired her out-
dated ships and retained only modern
ves&els, America owns a larger number
of torpedo tubes than does Britain.
"The American navy is three times
as strong as the British in one type,
and more than one and one-half times
as strong in another," says the Express
on this point, which, if it really ex-
pressed the relative strengths of the
two navies, would make the Naval
British Are To Warn
Subjects On Strict
Visa Rulings Of U.S.
Harsh Treatment By
U. S. Agents Stirs
Criticisms
(Tribune Press Service)
[ LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Foreign Of-
fice proposes warning ail British sub-
jects going to America of the dangers
they run if they 'overstay the period al-
lowed by a temporary visa, according
to the Sunday Chronicle, which a few
weeks ago initiated a campaign against
the methods employed by American of-
ficiais dealing with violations of im-
migration régulations.
The Tribu,ne's comment on the
Chronicle's allégations of the brutal
treatment meted out to British sub-
ject&, ^vas quoted in the article in to-
day's Chronicle, which prints the fol-
lowing passage from a l'ribune editorial:
"The bad manners of American officiais
in dealing with American citizens re-
turning from abroad are notorioua It
may be assumed that the behavior of
the bureau crats towàl-d ' their " '£eUow:.
citizens is mild in comparison to the
treatment accorded to aliens, for an
alien has not even a Gongressman to
whom he may complain."
Urge Quick Action.
Referring to thi& Tribune editorial, Dr.
Albert H. Roler, of Evanston, 111, wrote
to the editor of the Sunday Chronicle as
follows: "Acting on the suggestion con-
tained in the last paragraph of The
Tribune's éditorial, could not you use
your influence to get the British For-
eign Office to give us officiai help and
demand an explanation and apology
from those of our officiai pluguglies who
are directly responsible? By so doing,
you would, i-î this complaint were car-
riedt:, ;ito higlher autboritiesi, do us a
great favor also."
Since the first sensational article ap-
peared in the Chronicle, there has been
considérable agitation in such conser-
i/ative papers as the Daily Telegraph
containing stories of the brutal treat-
ment accorded to British &ubjc.,cte, de-
ported for overstaying the va!idity of
their visas. The chief British complaint
is the length of time a man may be de-
tained awaiting trial and de.porta.tion.
Warn All Subjects.
The British practice the quickest pos-
sible action, deportation taking place
Lmmediately in each case without any
waits for a number of deportees to ac-
cumulate and be sent off together.
As a result, the newspaper has. given
the American bureaucrats' methods to
the Foreign Office. The Office stated in
a letter to Mr. A. SqmerviHe, Conser-
vative member of Parliament who rais-
ed the question in the Hou&e of Com-
mons, that special warnings are to ne
inserted in a pamphlet passport and the
regulations given out with every pass-
port. Additional warnings will be is-
sued to iseamen and Canadian emi-
grants who make up the greater pro-
portion of British deportees frdm Amer-
ica.

'Conkey' Whitehead,
Millionaire, Married
Now, He Announces
Man Francis Porter
Sued For $250,000
Springs Surprise
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
HAVANA, Jan. 5.—C. P. "Conkey"
Whitehead, Atlanta, Ga., millionaire
sportsman, who is being sued for $250,-
ono damages by Frances Porter, show-
girl, as the resuit of trouble aboard his
yacht in December, 1928, today sur-
prised his many friends by admitting
that he was married to Marian Hughes
of New York.
Miss Hughes, who is 18 years old and
very pretty, has been seen in the com-
pany of the millionaire sportsman but
none of his friends knew they were
married. She had frequently been his
guest aboard his yacht Malvern. White-
head therefore caused a real surprise
when he said that they had been secret-
ly married on Nov. 14.
Mr. Whitehead is thought to bave
kept his marrlage a secret in order to
avoid any further publicity , such as
Miss Porter's $250,000 suit for heart-
balm has brought him.
Late in November, 1928, Miss Porter
was Whitehead's guests here. One day
she is alleged to have stuck Whitehead
with pins and then kicked him in the
ribs with her heels. Whitehead had
two ribs broken.
The mihio.naire claimed that Miss
Porter had attaeked him when he object-
ed to her running about en déshabillé.
She admitted ruinning a hatpin into him
but denied that she had criminal inten-
tions. Her object was to wake him from
a hea.vy slumber caused by an overdose
of stimulants, she said.
Miss Porter fled to the, yacht after
eluding the police but Whitehead refus-
ed to go aboard while she was there.
A few days later, the Cuban police
ooarded the yacht and served a warrant
on Miss Porter. She fainted w.hen the
poiieemen came aboard.

Morgan 100 Per Cent
Bonus Is Given Again
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-As a nice
little Christmas token, the Morgan
Company employees each received a
100 :per cent bonus last week, it was
announced today. The total disburse-
ment is said to reach the staggering
figure of $2,500,000 or $3,000,000. The
bonus was one of the most generous
that Wall Street gave and it was
paid in the same ratio as the last
four years, when each employee re-
ceived a whole year's salary as a
reminder of Morgan's' prosperity.
Nearly 1,000 employees, including the
partners, shared the sum.

Socialist International concluded a two-
day session here today with a resolution
urging that the Five Powers at the

The resolution severely criticizes the
League's failure to achieve anything in

ment at London should be incorporated
in Geneva's général scheme.
The International supports Président
Hoover's viewpoir-t on blockade, declar-
inig that the high seas should only be
closed by an international agreement
against an aggressor state.
Prime Minister MacDonald and the

'Shoot To Kill' Order
For Tram Bombing Is
Given In New Orléans
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 5.—A "shoot
to kill" order was issued to police here
in the hope of terminating dynamiting
of street cars by striking motormen
and conductors. The last bombing
occurred yesterday. Altogether three
cars have been dynamited since Jan. 1
as disorders during the strike, called
last July, broke out " with renewed
violence.
One arrest was made yesterday.
Vincent Vineza was charged by wit-
nesses with hurling dynamite beneath
a street car. Afterward the police chief
.issued an order declaring: "Shoot to
kill if necessary, but at ail costs get
the men who have been dynamiting
street cars."
Thirty street cars have been bombed
since the strike started, numerous riots
have occurred and on several occasions
street car 'rails have been ripped up by
strikers resisting the efforts of the
company to continue service with non-

Tariff Is Rival Of Dry Law
As Congress Meets Today
COMING ELECTION
STIRS UNEASINESS
Tariff, Market Crash And
Haiti Complicating
Solons' Plans
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. — Congress
reassembles tomorrow with each Sen-
ator and Representative dominated by
the knowledg-e that a general Con-
gressional élection is taking place this
year, and that party and personal
political fortunes are wrapped up in the
results of the session.
With this bugaboo staring down upon
the Capitol, there is evident nervous-
ness among the returning solons, - who
perhaps fear most the unrelenting
problem of Prohibition. The Senate has
succeeded 'in escaptng the matter by
laying down a hard and fast agreement
that the prime matter for considération
is the tariff.
President Hoover's request for a
commission to investigate the situation
in Haiti was ruthlessly put aside in the
name of tariff legislation.
But not so in the House. There de-
bate seems unavoidable with measures
to be Gon'?!dered for carrying out Presi-
dent Hoover's program for strengthen-
ing enforcement. The Représentatives
have their own campaign ptloblems to
remembep when the debate cornés up,
and the dispute within the ranks of the
ârys makes the seemingly inevitable
dispute harder. still to contemplate.

FEAR PROHIBITION
MAT STEAL STAGE
Several Groups Are Agreed
On Pushing Tariff But
Others Aren't
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. — Lineg
tightened in the Senate today in the
impending battle to keep a fight on the
prohibition issue from delaying action
on the Tariff Bill. An irrascible ele-
ment found among both Wets and Drys
wants to "strike while the iron is hot,"
figuring that' the recent series of
scandais, killings and raids must be
made the most of while politicians fear
the intrusion of the question in coming
campaigns.
Progressives agreed at a conference
today that the ebate on the Tariff Bill
should be resumed Monday and con-
tinued until it is passed, to the exclu-
sion of aIl other legislation. Steps were
also taken today by two Republican
blocks in the Senate to prevent a Wet-
Dry row from stealing the stage.
Senator James E. Watson, who yes-
terday expressed his fears for the fate
of the tariff législation, declared today
that Regulars would co-operate in
blanketing prohibition arguments and
other controversial subjects to expedite
action on the tariff. Further support
for this procedure came from Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, Democratie leader,
who expressed hearty approval and
predicted that the tariff measure would
be passed within a iponth.
But just how long these combined
forces will be able to keep prohibition
questions in the background is extreme-
ly dubious-at this time. Senator Borah
has said he-is willing to forego fùrther
criticism of tpe prohibition enforce-

SUPPORTED 26 ON
$18 A WEEK, BUT
WIFE WALKED OUT
Kind Judge Stands By
Parsio When Wife
Asks Monev
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The abilîty of
Fred Parsio, a mill worker of May's
Landing, N. J., to support 26 persons on
art income of $18 a week, has aroused
general astonishment here. It also earned
the sympathie interest of a judge of the
domèstio relations court before whom
Parsio was charged with the non-support
of his wife. *
In spite of his small wages, Parsio,
with 11 children, ranging in âge from
four to 2,2, contracted a second marriage
with a widow boasting of 13 offspring.
Crowded into a five-room house, with less
than 75 cents each available for the sup-
port of members of his family, Parsio
found the waters rough.
Finally Mrs. Parsio and her brood left
him and sued for an allowance of $5
a week. After listening to Partio's story,
the jud,g-e told Mrs. Parsio that she was
no worse off than she was before she
married her brave husband and declin-
ed to sign the order.

' several years of planning and propa-

undertaking was due to the handsome
and sympathetic Irish tragedienne, Miss :

tq say nothing of Parisians in great num-
ber-s going to the Pyrénées or Chamonix
ffr their winter sports, and a large con-
logent already in the South, Paris so-
dfiiy is what you might call dull. This
'was reflected in the Friday night gather-
iifcs at the restaurants and cabarets, and
ipfeticularly last night at. the Ritz. A
W informai parties, foowever," were to
î*:.noted. The Comte and Comtesse

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fuld and Senor

Unnatural Crime Act
Of Illinois U.
Student
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.—AJlan Schumni,
17-year-old student at the University
of Illinois. shot and killed his father,
William Schumm, and put three bullets
into his mother's abdomen and hips,
severely wounding' her, in the most un-
natural crime ever to confront the St.
Louis police.
The youth returned home from a
party at 2 o'clock this morning, but in-
stead of going to bed he began pacing
the floor. After -walking nervouisly
through the house for some time, while
his parents listened in amazed anxiety,
he called hie mother and father to the
living room.
"Do you bel1eve in God?" he asked,
when they confronted him in bewilder-
ment.
"Yes," they answer&d.
"Then pray."
As the youth spoke he drew a revoIv-
sr from his pocket. Terrified, the elder-
Iy couple dropped to their knees on the
êloor.
Fires Pointblank.
Before either could speak the boy
fired point-blank at his father, killing
him instantly. Then as his mother
sh,riel;-ed in terror he turned the gun on
her, firing three times. When she col-
lapsed he walked to a téléphoné, cal'el
friends of the family and announced
that he had killed his parents and want-
ed someone to call the police.
The youth was calm when the officer
arrived, readily surrendered his gun and
accompanied them without resistance
to the police station. There he was placed
in an observation ward, to be held for
officiai action of an undetermined
character. It was considered probabe
that a sanity h'earing would be held first,
however.
Allan refused to make a statement
explaining his act either to police 0,1' to
reporters.
At. a hospital where she was in grave
danger the mother said that the boy
had corne home for the Christmas holi-
days intent upon his books, but .she deni-
ed that. he had been drinking. The, boy
had been acting strangely, she said, but
neither she nor her husband had been
able to account for his behaviot..

American Apparatus Is
Looked At Through
Magnifying Glass
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The efforts of the
Daily Telegraph to paint the United
States navy as a Goliath alongside of
which the British navy is but a feeble
David suddenly found support today
when the Sunday Express leaped bold-
ly into the same arena with more
"figures" to color up the fantastic
picture. And this David of the Express
hasn't even a slingshot! /'
The particular point from the mass
of figures which the Express selects to
emphasize—in the hope that ail other
figures will be forgotten during the
heat of the arguments—is the number
of torpedo tubes possessed by the
respective navies. As this type of
weapon is carried chiefly by destroyers
and submarines, of which the - United
States possesses a large number of
craft mostly obsolete, while Great
Britain has regularly retired her out-
dated ships and retained only modern
ves&els, America owns a larger number
of torpedo tubes than does Britain.
"The American navy is three times
as strong as the British in one type,
and more than one and one-half times
as strong in another," says the Express
on this point, which, if it really ex-
pressed the relative strengths of the
two navies, would make the Naval
British Are To Warn
Subjects On Strict
Visa Rulings Of U.S.
Harsh Treatment By
U. S. Agents Stirs
Criticisms
(Tribune Press Service)
[ LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Foreign Of-
fice proposes warning ail British sub-
jects going to America of the dangers
they run if they 'overstay the period al-
lowed by a temporary visa, according
to the Sunday Chronicle, which a few
weeks ago initiated a campaign against
the methods employed by American of-
ficiais dealing with violations of im-
migration régulations.
The Tribu,ne's comment on the
Chronicle's allégations of the brutal
treatment meted out to British sub-
ject&, ^vas quoted in the article in to-
day's Chronicle, which prints the fol-
lowing passage from a l'ribune editorial:
"The bad manners of American officiais
in dealing with American citizens re-
turning from abroad are notorioua It
may be assumed that the behavior of
the bureau crats towàl-d ' their " '£eUow:.
citizens is mild in comparison to the
treatment accorded to aliens, for an
alien has not even a Gongressman to
whom he may complain."
Urge Quick Action.
Referring to thi& Tribune editorial, Dr.
Albert H. Roler, of Evanston, 111, wrote
to the editor of the Sunday Chronicle as
follows: "Acting on the suggestion con-
tained in the last paragraph of The
Tribune's éditorial, could not you use
your influence to get the British For-
eign Office to give us officiai help and
demand an explanation and apology
from those of our officiai pluguglies who
are directly responsible? By so doing,
you would, i-î this complaint were car-
riedt:, ;ito higlher autboritiesi, do us a
great favor also."
Since the first sensational article ap-
peared in the Chronicle, there has been
considérable agitation in such conser-
i/ative papers as the Daily Telegraph
containing stories of the brutal treat-
ment accorded to British &ubjc.,cte, de-
ported for overstaying the va!idity of
their visas. The chief British complaint
is the length of time a man may be de-
tained awaiting trial and de.porta.tion.
Warn All Subjects.
The British practice the quickest pos-
sible action, deportation taking place
Lmmediately in each case without any
waits for a number of deportees to ac-
cumulate and be sent off together.
As a result, the newspaper has. given
the American bureaucrats' methods to
the Foreign Office. The Office stated in
a letter to Mr. A. SqmerviHe, Conser-
vative member of Parliament who rais-
ed the question in the Hou&e of Com-
mons, that special warnings are to ne
inserted in a pamphlet passport and the
regulations given out with every pass-
port. Additional warnings will be is-
sued to iseamen and Canadian emi-
grants who make up the greater pro-
portion of British deportees frdm Amer-
ica.

'Conkey' Whitehead,
Millionaire, Married
Now, He Announces
Man Francis Porter
Sued For $250,000
Springs Surprise
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
HAVANA, Jan. 5.—C. P. "Conkey"
Whitehead, Atlanta, Ga., millionaire
sportsman, who is being sued for $250,-
ono damages by Frances Porter, show-
girl, as the resuit of trouble aboard his
yacht in December, 1928, today sur-
prised his many friends by admitting
that he was married to Marian Hughes
of New York.
Miss Hughes, who is 18 years old and
very pretty, has been seen in the com-
pany of the millionaire sportsman but
none of his friends knew they were
married. She had frequently been his
guest aboard his yacht Malvern. White-
head therefore caused a real surprise
when he said that they had been secret-
ly married on Nov. 14.
Mr. Whitehead is thought to bave
kept his marrlage a secret in order to
avoid any further publicity , such as
Miss Porter's $250,000 suit for heart-
balm has brought him.
Late in November, 1928, Miss Porter
was Whitehead's guests here. One day
she is alleged to have stuck Whitehead
with pins and then kicked him in the
ribs with her heels. Whitehead had
two ribs broken.
The mihio.naire claimed that Miss
Porter had attaeked him when he object-
ed to her running about en déshabillé.
She admitted ruinning a hatpin into him
but denied that she had criminal inten-
tions. Her object was to wake him from
a hea.vy slumber caused by an overdose
of stimulants, she said.
Miss Porter fled to the, yacht after
eluding the police but Whitehead refus-
ed to go aboard while she was there.
A few days later, the Cuban police
ooarded the yacht and served a warrant
on Miss Porter. She fainted w.hen the
poiieemen came aboard.

STIRS UNEASINESS
Tariff, Market Crash And
Haiti Complicating
Solons' Plans
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. — Congress
reassembles tomorrow with each Sen-
ator and Representative dominated by
the knowledg-e that a general Con-
gressional élection is taking place this
year, and that party and personal
political fortunes are wrapped up in the
results of the session.
With this bugaboo staring down upon
the Capitol, there is evident nervous-
ness among the returning solons, - who
perhaps fear most the unrelenting
problem of Prohibition. The Senate has
succeeded 'in escaptng the matter by
laying down a hard and fast agreement
that the prime matter for considération
is the tariff.
President Hoover's request for a
commission to investigate the situation
in Haiti was ruthlessly put aside in the
name of tariff legislation.
But not so in the House. There de-
bate seems unavoidable with measures
to be Gon'?!dered for carrying out Presi-
dent Hoover's program for strengthen-
ing enforcement. The Représentatives
have their own campaign ptloblems to
remembep when the debate cornés up,
and the dispute within the ranks of the
ârys makes the seemingly inevitable
dispute harder. still to contemplate.

FEAR PROHIBITION
MAT STEAL STAGE
Several Groups Are Agreed
On Pushing Tariff But
Others Aren't
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. — Lineg
tightened in the Senate today in the
impending battle to keep a fight on the
prohibition issue from delaying action
on the Tariff Bill. An irrascible ele-
ment found among both Wets and Drys
wants to "strike while the iron is hot,"
figuring that' the recent series of
scandais, killings and raids must be
made the most of while politicians fear
the intrusion of the question in coming
campaigns.
Progressives agreed at a conference
today that the ebate on the Tariff Bill
should be resumed Monday and con-
tinued until it is passed, to the exclu-
sion of aIl other legislation. Steps were
also taken today by two Republican
blocks in the Senate to prevent a Wet-
Dry row from stealing the stage.
Senator James E. Watson, who yes-
terday expressed his fears for the fate
of the tariff législation, declared today
that Regulars would co-operate in
blanketing prohibition arguments and
other controversial subjects to expedite
action on the tariff. Further support
for this procedure came from Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, Democratie leader,
who expressed hearty approval and
predicted that the tariff measure would
be passed within a iponth.
But just how long these combined
forces will be able to keep prohibition

ly dubious-at this time. Senator Borah

Parsio When Wife
Asks Monev
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The abilîty of
Fred Parsio, a mill worker of May's
Landing, N. J., to support 26 persons on
art income of $18 a week, has aroused
general astonishment here. It also earned
the sympathie interest of a judge of the
domèstio relations court before whom
Parsio was charged with the non-support
of his wife. *
In spite of his small wages, Parsio,
with 11 children, ranging in âge from
four to 2,2, contracted a second marriage
with a widow boasting of 13 offspring.
Crowded into a five-room house, with less
than 75 cents each available for the sup-
port of members of his family, Parsio
found the waters rough.
Finally Mrs. Parsio and her brood left
him and sued for an allowance of $5
a week. After listening to Partio's story,
the jud,g-e told Mrs. Parsio that she was
no worse off than she was before she
married her brave husband and declin-
ed to sign the order.
