' 1 f'.Trct tJls'ricts anti- Prominent Charlotte Business " Man is Separated - From Wife Differences Arose Because of Religious Fana ; ticism of Mr. Alexander. Charlotte News SPBINGFIELD, Mass, Sept 8. "Be ligion is all right when it does not become fanaticism, but when it is carried to ex tremes, it is harmful, menace to orderly lives, a danger to the home." said Judge Charles L. Long in probate court yester day afternoon at the conclusion of the hearing on two petitions of May A. Alex ander, 303 Park avenue. Charlotte, N. C, Newport, and temporarily of Springfield, against Robert O. Alexander, of Charlotte and New York and for three weeks of Springfield, for the custody of five minor children and for separate support from her husband, the hearing occupying the attention of the court for several hours during the day. "I find Mrs. Alexander to be of excel lent character, there being no evidence offered reflecting upon her iu any way," said Judge Long in. conclusion. ' ' I think Mr. Alexander, too, possesses a good moral character, but hehas allowed hisj religion to run away with his judgment and the charity his God would teach himj to show toward others should include his wife, with whom ho should be living. However, I am dealing with these peti tions from the standpoint of law, not from that of sentiment or theology, ex cepting insofar as the law is based upon the Bible. I shall give Mrs. Alexander a clean bill of health in this controversy." Following a brief conference between counsel, Attorneys Joseph B. Ely and William A. McDonough, for Mrs. Alexan der, and Attorney Charles Young for Mr. Alexander, Judge Long reported a decree ordering the return of the children from the father to the mother, who will also receive, in accordance with tie decree, S0() down and 500 a month for the sup port of the minor children. In his sum ming, Judge Long made it clear that the young woman in churge of the children and wiio was in court with Mr. Alexander Ss a girl of good moral character, nothing to the contrary being shown by the evi dence. N Mr. und Mrs. Alexander, acocrdinj; to the statements of Mrs. Alexander, hud eleven children, ten of whom are living. Mrs. Alexander testified that the two had lived together agreeably until a compara tively recent period, when Mr. Alexander, who had grown accustomed to spend his week-ends in New York, greatly to the surprise of the witness, finally left Mrs. Alexander, this taking place at. their sum mer home near Ashcville, in July, 1919. , ' ' He has been to see me only once since then," said Mrs. Alexander, "and that was to settle his allowance to me, which was fixed at $7.'0 a month. This allowances has been paid to me up to the present time. ' ' Mrs. Alexander said she )cgged him several times to return to her, both by letters and through the influence of their children, but with no success. The witness said that her husband said to her on the occasion after returning from a visit to Ocean Grove, N. J., in response to a comment made by the wit ness, "I'm through with wonn in the flesh, I only deal with them in the spiirt now. ' ' Mr. Alexander, in his own behalf, sa id that he was compelled to leave his wife because she threatened to kill him. He reviewed his journeys to Ocean Grove, New York, Springfield and several other places in the United States and Canada, all of which ha could not recall when cross-examined by Attorney Ely. He car ried four of the children with him to Ocean Grove and Springfield, stopping here at the Oaks on State street. He ex pressed regret to Judge Long that he could give no accurate idea as to, his worth. The witness denied it was las intention to build a tabernacle ofl any mountain with timber, which, he declared on the witness stand, he found hard to dispose of. He did believe, however, that God spoke to those who lived clean lives and merited this blessing and, as evidence in his own case, recited his success in bnsi- ness affairs being marked, a success which could not posibly be attained without the blessing of the living, personal God. "I believe in a living God and in lov ing my neighbor as myself," skid Mr. Alexander. "Yes, I love you, too," he said to At torney Ely in answer to an interrogation by the lawyer. Two of the children testi fied that they preferred to live with the father, because he showed them the true religion, the living protecting God, and did not want to return to the mother be cause this would expose them to the dan ger of losing the true faith. The children in court yesterday after noon were Ruth, 12; Penelope, 10; John M 5, and Martha, 19 months. Naomi, 17, lives at Charlotte. Immediately after the decree was signed by Judge Long, the children were given in charge of the mother. - Crying bitterly, they were' car ried to a waiting automobile and conveyed to the .Hotel Kimball, where Mrs. Alexan der is stopping. , It was stated ifl court theft, if Mr. Alexander 'chose to retira to his wife, she would be glad and the family disturb ance, so greatly deplored by Judge Long and all the more so because of the reli gious eauf a,; would be ended. . - , ""' v . 7 ' ' ,"' Surrirors Now - Beginning to Realize Extent or Disastrous Catastrophe. tbr The Associated P:ass.j FIVIZZANO, Italy. Sept 8. Survivors of Tuesday morning's earthquake which laid the once flourishing and cheerful town of Pivissano in ruins, are, as the hours pass, coming to realise more and more the extent of the calamity that has befallen them, and they seem stupefied with the horror of the disaster. The work of Vescue went on. all last night, and doctors, sanitary assistants, sailors from the Italian dreadnaaight Ce vour. students, nurses, and volunteers. wore themselves out in their efforts to' bring comfort to as many sufferers as pos sible. Motor lorries are beginning to ar rive regularly, bringing cooked food and tools for he men engaged in the work of excavation. Portable ovens are being set up, since there is hardly a house stand ing lit the city. As in former earthquakes, some fam ilies have been rescued almost without in jury from the ruins of their homes, while in other cases every inmate of shattered dwellings wag killed. One little girl whom nobody recognizes wanders about town with her frock torn and tears run ning down her begrimed face, asking pit eously for ' ' maina mia. ' ' She possibly is a child of visitors for the summer season and was playing in a field when the earth quake came. Her family was probably wiped out. She can not tell where she lives and knows only that her name is "Tina," and that she came here with her fathe. mother and little brothers. VOLCANIC CSATES APPEARS. ROME, Sep. 10 A volcanic crater has suddenly opened at the top of Piz sord's Ucello, a mountain 5,845 feet high about nine miles northeast of Spezia. It is located on what appears to be the northwest corner of the dis trict shaken by Tuesday morning s earth quake, which resulted in the loss of hun dreds of lives in the rejfion just north of Florence. A telegram from Spezia states the crater is emitting smoke and sulphuric fumes, and that scientists there attribute the volcanic outbreak tov the earthquake. The shock which devastated scores of little towns and villages, north of Flor ence seems to have followed the line of the mountains. This is common to earth quakes in Italy, as the tremor that de stroyed Mas8ina in 190S followed the Calabro-Sioilian Mountains, and the one at Avezzano seemed to cling to the trend of the Appenines very closely. Four years later the Tuscan hills were shaken and Mucelio was destroyed, and now the Apuan Alps are visited by the Beismic disturbance. Scintists, discussing the earthquake say that intervals of years re- preneni umy nuuuies ami seconds in geologic time. Reports from Northern Italy have given no further details of the situation, nor have they told of the damage done by the tremor which shook the Emilia district, between the Appen ines and the river Po., yesterday morn ing. First reports stated the shock was more severe than that which destroy ed Fivizzano and other towns north of Florence. WOMAN CAN NOT TAKE CHILD TO PRISON WITH HER JKFFEBSON CITY, Mo.. Sept. 10.
