"I am going to him because I think it is1 my duty to be near him," she said. 'I want to help him in every way I can. I don't know just how I can be of service to him, but many things will turn up that I can do. "When we were married, I was 17 and my husband was 21. That was back in 1908. Five years ago we agreed to disagree and I received a separate maintenance. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, as you please there are no children. We were not bitter against each other. We simply decided that we would remain good friends. Mr. Arbuckle has been very generous In his treatment of me in re gard' to finances. I ;hav not had work during these years, and last Feb rurary he made me a present of a fine auiomoDiie. "A reconciliation? That depends upon whether I find that my place is with him and whether he finds that he Is ready for a return to the life we led when we were married, when I was his inspiration.

That a president of a Louisiana rail road was actually tarred and feathered and carried about the principal streets of New Orleans on a rail during the recent war is vouched for by J, s. Thompson, who recently came from New Orleans to make his home in this city. Mr. Thompson was one of the party that had a hand in the affair. "Baumgardner was the man's name," said Mr. Thompson. "He was president of one of the railroads with terminals in New Orleans, and a man of consid erable wealth. But during: the war he was for Germany from first to last, and instead of assisting the hand that fed him, he soaked his surplus cash in Ger- 1 - uvi- - ! man bnis. Not a penny's worth of savings stamps or .Liberty bonds did he purchase. His activities wei-e confined to boosting Germany. "And one day the climax came. A Red Cross nurse entered his ooffice to solicit a subscription of $10 to. help carry on the work of that department, and Baumgardner actually had her put out of his office. THE GANG HEARD IT. "The news spread like wildfire. It was not long before the facts were pre sented before a certain 'gang' in New Orleans which had been organized for the purpose of detecting all those who were throwing rocks at Old Glory, It took the gang only a few brief momenta to lay their plans. Such men as Baumgardner had been dealt with be fore. "It was soon learned that Eaumgard ner had gone on a trip out of town, but scouts discovered the day on which he was expected to return. It was also learned that Baumgardner had planned to have his chauffeur meet him at a little junction four miles from town and take him to New Orleans from there. "Well, the gang was there when th6 train pulled in. Baumgardner stepped off with his wife and two young wo men. We seized him immediately. He screamed and protested, but we tore him from ?jis wife and led him into a nearby forest. There we stripped him of every rag he had on. FEATHERS APPLIED. "Then came the oozy, sticky tar. We coated him like an asphalt road. Next came the feathers. Several large pil lows were cut open and the contents sifted oer him. It was only a few seconds before he looked like a'human ostrich. "Thein we inarched him to the city limits. There we secured a rail. We tied his feet and hands to the rail, and taking turns at carrying the scoundrel, we began our parade. "All through the principal streets of. the big city we. went. Thousands of people assembled on the sidewalks and cheered as the traitor was carried by. If the man lives a thouasnd years he' will never forget that day. Newspapers printed long columns about him, and he was literally ruined in the eyes of loyal Americans. - 'It was just one of the familiar stories about American patriots dur ing the war. The thought that any man could extract such wealth and con fidence from the American people and then fly up at them like a snake in the grass was too much for any good American. Every traitor caught was given a dose of American patriotism that he will never forget." P0E WILL SPEAK IN RUTHERFORD Raleigh Editor Will Discuss Co-operative Marketing; Band Coming Here.
