New York, June 28. Thai a minis
ter of the Gospel knocked down his
wife and wu beaten in turn by his
mother-in-law wero charges made on
the witness stand in the Supreme
Court yesterday when, in response
to a writ of habeas corpus, the Rev.
Dr. Burton Howard Lee produced his
four-year-old son Templeton.
Dr. Lee is rector of St. Mary's
Episcopal Church at Ossining and a
chaplain at Sing Bing Prison. The
writ was obtained by his wifeKathe
rine because, she charges, in viola
tion of a separation agreement signed
may 13 her husband had spirited
Templeton away and kept him. He
already had the custody of his other
small son. Burton, Jr.
Mrs. Lee told under questioning by
David Slade how the dove of peace
had departed soon after her marriage
thirteen years ago and how matters
became so bad a year ago that she
and hor husband separated.
At the time the agreement was
signed, Mrs. Lee said, she was living
with her mother, Mrs. Hallock, on
Valentine Avenue, the Bronx. She
Was greatly postered, she said, by her
husband, who took advantage of the
agreement to make repeated calls on
her to see Templeton. Finally tine
moved secretly to No. 968 St. Nicho
las Avehue:
On one of his visits, she said, her
husband knocked her down.
Miss Ruth Hallock. a sister of Mrs.
Lee, testified to that incident.
"I was in the dining room whn I
heard a crash, and ran into the par
lor," she said. "On the floor lay my
sister. Dr. Lee was hurrying out of
the room, and whon I intercepted him
he struck me twice on th? head."
Dr. Lee asserted his mother-in-law
had (real cd him badly win n he called
to see Templeton.
"I took Burton to seo his brother
one day," tho clergyman said, "and
Mrs. Hallock insisted on talking
about the Separation case. She want
ed to know if I was going to bring
witnesses from New Jersey. I told
hor I didn't want to talk about the
matter. "Well, if you do," sho said
to me, "I'll kill you or "murder you."
At another time when hu called
his mother-in-law, he said, ordered
him out of the flat, saying he could
not, stay another minute. His story
ran on:
"May I talk to the boys in the
ball? I asked her. She said I couldn't
and struck me in the face, breaking
my glasses.
After his wife disappeared from the
Valentino Avenue flat ho had great
difficulty in tracing her, he testified
but found hor through tho man who
had moved tho family. He disoov
ered that his son had been sent to
Chelton, Conn., in violation 6.' the
agreement;
"I objected to this and further, to
the fact that my wife works, although
I give her 112 a wek for her support
and that of tho child," said Dr. Lee
"I should think' it would be most
proper for her to work if that is the
amount or her allowance, observed
Justice Shearn. "As a fact, don't
you know that whenever you go to
your mother-in-law's home to see
Templeton you invite trouble?"
"That's true," admitted the clergy
man.
"Then, why do you go? Why aren't
you satisfied to see him when you can
have him at your home in Ossining?"
asked the Justice.
"Because that is only once in two
weeks," repHed tho witness, gazing af
fectionately at his flaxen haired son
asleep in his mother's arms. "More
over, I think the children should be
brought up together that they might
leasn to love each other. They might
even bring us together. The situa
tion is frankly horrible."
Tho Juatioe finally got the.eouple
to agree to take the children on alter
nate, weeks during the summer with
tho stipulation that the ease be held
open until Fall. Meantime either
father or mother may bring up the
malt r on two days' notice. The
mother gets tho children the first
week.
Tba local health authorities are
doing everything within their power
to keep New Bern free from even tl
least sign of an epidemic of sickness
this summer and they are urging every
eitisen to do his or her part in this
campaign by keeping their premise
aa clean as possible and to allow no
rubbish or swill to remain on the

or no probability of any serious out

IS A MINUTE-LONG
KISS PLATONIC
Sixty Seconds of Osculatior
Caused Divorce in
This Case
New York, June 26. Whether t
kits of one minute's duration, firmh
implanted, is of the plat on ic variety
is a question Justice Delehanty, and
a jury in the Supreme Court will be
called upon t. consider in deciding
whether Mrs. Laurie n C. Robertson
is entitled to a divorce from Edward
F. Robertson, a wealthy importer.
The lass, says James - T. Klynn, s
private detective, was pressed upon
the lips of Mrs. Mina Tempest as she
stood in the window of a seventh
floor apartment in the Sonoma at No.
1730 Broadway, a few works ago.
The man who did the kissing was
Robertson, said the sleuth.
Flynn told the court yesterday that
he stood on the sidewalk across the
street and was sure the caress occu
pied a full minute. During that min
ute, Flynn added, Robertson was em
bracing Mrs. Tempest, a plump wom
an in the early thirties. Thereafter
he " gesticulated with his arms, as
though in joy." The detective
thought Robertson smacked his lips,
but he was not sure.
Max D. Steuer, counsel for tho i m
porter, said in his opening address
that his client had known Mrs. Tem
pest and had been friendly with hor,
but this constituted no crime. Moer
than friendliness would have to be
proved, he asserted.
Story by a Negro Maid.
Gustav Lange, Jr., counsel for Mrs.
Robertson, said he would try to show
the husband had been guilty of many
indiscrr tions and that tho charge
against him in relation to Mrs. Tem
pest was based on facts the jury
could not disregard.
After ho had brought out the epi
sode of the sixty-socond kiss and had
shown that Robertson frequently vis
ited the apartment of Mrs. Tempest
in the absence of his wife in' the
Wst, counsel called Mary Edwards,
negro maid, who had worked for the
co-respondent.
The maid said t hat Robertson not
only came to the apartment almost
daily, but romained over night, and
kept his clothing there.
"Where did he keep It?" aslted Mr.
Lange.
In the second drawer of the chif
fonier in my mistress's room," was
fho reply. "She had her things in the
other drawers."
'Do you mean his suits and over
coats?"
"No, his linen. He kept his suits in
the closet."
The witness said that one day she
had heard Mrs. Tempest toll Robert
son she would have to have more
money to run the flat, as sho kept two
servants, aud tho expenses were very
hoavy.
"What did he say-to that?" asked
Mr. Lange.
"Why, ho said, lie was paying all he
could afford to," the witness answered-.
Saw Them In NerfHfle.
The maid said that several times
when she served breakfast Robertson
and her mistress" were in negligee.
Mr. Steuer tried to show the maid
had refused to testify until sho had
received money, and had locked her
self in her room so that a subpoena
might not bo strved on her. He made
little progress.
Erail Leardon, superintendent of
the Sonoma, testified he had seen
Robertson in the halls of the Sonoma
and onee had observed him enter Mrs.
Tempest's apartment.
Several elevator boys testified Rob
ertson had gone to the apartment at
various times of day and night. One
boy swore that on a certain occasion
Robertson remained until morning,
leaving a call for 7 o'clock.
The ease will he oontinued this
morning, when Mrs. Tempest pro
bably will testify.
"WILD ONES" FOR WAR.
Ely, Nev., June 26. Several hun
dred bead. of wild horses have been
captured within the last few weeks on
the Riordan and other ranches in the
vicinity of Sunnyside, according to a
statement made here by James Rior
dan, who just oame in from the range
Riordan states that several weeks
ago representatives of several of the
warring nations in Europe visited
Sunnyside and interviewed ranchers
and cowboys. They offered big prices
for horses, and since that time cap
turing the wild steeds of the desert
h been the favorite pastime.

SOYS AND GIRLS'
CLUBS EXTOLLED
BY SEC. HOUSTON
Aid Young People to Be
come More Efficient and
More Contented"
FARMERS FRIEND
The Secretary of Agricul
ture'' Is Doing Much
for Them
Washington, June 26. "The pri
mary object of the boys' and girls'
lubs which are being organised
throughout the country with the. as
sistance of the Department of Agri
oulture, but in co-operation with
State colleges of agriculture," says
Secretary Houston, "is to aid young
people to become more efficient and
more contended farmers and home
builders. "The clubs may be organized under
the leadership of tho County Super
intendent of Schools or any of the
teachers under him. If the educa
tional authorities of the county are
not yet alive to the possibilities of
these clubs the county demonstration
agent may take charge of the move
ment; or, if there is no demonstration
agent in the county such organiza
tions as local Chambers of Com
merce, the Grange, women's clubs,
and etc., may assume the leadership.
The names and addresses of the boys
and girls included in the clubs are col
lected and sent to the State agent,
who will furnish organization and
cultural instructions upon request.
Test of Efficiency.
"Experience has shown, however,
that the difficulty is not in organizing
a club with a large enrollment of
members, but in inducing these mem
bers to complete their work and to
report on the results. The test of
efficiency is not so much the organi
zation of new clubs as continuing in
terest in those already formed. To
assure this continuity of interest var
ious schemes have been evolved to
make the club worjt progressive.
Thus in the case of the boyI clubs a
number of rotation systems have
been devised.
"An example of agents adapting
their plans to circumstances is the
canning of salmon in Washington and
Oregon, mainly along the Columbia
River. There thousands of tons of
salmon have gone to waste annually.
At present 2f clubs of about 20 mem
hers each are canning salmon, turn
ing what has heretofore been wasted
into a well-preserved article of food
Begins with Tomatoes.
"In the girls' clubs new members
grow tomatoes only. During the sec
ond year they divide, their gardens in
half and grow tomatoes and a few
other crops. The third year they have
more crops. Some of the combina
tions are tomatoes, beans and beets,
and tomatoos, peppers and okra,
After these have been mastered the
girls begin to fill their gardens with
perennial vegetables and fruits. In
thisjway, by the time a club girl is
ready for high school of college she
will have started a permanent garden
or orchard.
In practically every club it has
been noticed that some of the parents
and neighbors of the members in
variably adopt the methods of the
boys in their various projects. . The
yields and profits that the boys ob
tain are the best possible demonstra
tion of the value of their methods
It has been said, for example, that a
single corn club boy in one community
did more for sound corn culture in his
county than five years of public lec
turing could have accomplished.
Canning1 Clubs.
"In tho same way the success of the
girls with their canned products has
paved the way for women county
agents to demonstrate simple useful
lessons in cooking to the mothers.
"The new movement of organizing
mother-daughter home canning clubs
in the North and West is an out
growth and extension of the work al
ready done by the girls' canning
clubs. The elub project is oonflned
entirely .to the canning of fruits and
vegetables, and these may be grown
by the club members the mother
daughter team or by some one else
and purchased f can ning purposes."

Quaint and Charming.
This writer knows his Beaufort,
perhaps, as well as most natives, with
all tho sounds and shores and rivers

town, which celebrated some time
urn its 200th anniversary, as quaint
nd charming as can be imagined.

Lynch got in safely with his bunch

"It has been truly said of our be
loved Leader, Mn. M. B. Eddy, that
'the works she has done will remain
as her monument: also that she is one
of those 'who need no monument, for
their names are graven on many
hearts.' Nevertheless, it is the de-
sin of Christian Scientists to enot
in Mount Auburn cemetery a memor
ial, which shall be a fitting and digni
fied tribute to Mn. Eddy, and through
which they may evidence something
of their love for her and of the gratU
tudn they feel for the priceless bless
ings that have come into their Ursa
through her Christian and setf-taft
flciag labors as the Disoovenr and
rounder of Christian Science. Chris,
