Friends of James G. Woodward de

who is an ex-officio member of the
board, said the board could proceed
without interruption so far as he was
concerned. He said he had done his
duty when he prevented an approval of

hat he would confer with Aiderman

COURT SCORES WIFE
WHO LEFT HUSBAND
AND THEN RETURNED
NEW YORK. Nov. 9.—Harry E. Bed
ensteln appeared before Supreme Court
Justice Blanchard to testify in an ac
tion that he has brought against Wil
liam Isaacs, a silk importer, to recover
$25,000 damages for the alleged alien
ation of Mrs. Bedenstein’s affections.
Bedenstein is a salesman. He eloped
with Mrs. Bedenstein when she was six
teen years of age. About a year ago,
he charges, she was induced to leave
her home by presents of jewelry and
clothing that her uncle gave her. Since
she went away she and her two-year
old daughter, Marian, have lived at the
Isaacs home, No. 130 West One Hun
dred and Seventeenth street.
The testimony showed that Mrs. Bed
enstein left her husband on a former
occasion and returned to him. Justice
Blanchard remarked during the trial
that the jury should take into consider
ation the fact "that a wife who leaves
her husband and then returns to him
gets the habit and is not of as great
value as a. wife who leaves her husband
and does not return to him.”

YOUNG FLYER
NEAR DEATH
IN GALE TO
FRY AGAIN
Wiggins, Beaten to Earth by
Baffling Air Currents, Will
Renew Battle Today.
CARRIED TEN MILES INTO
COUNTRY BY HEAVY WIND
Birdwoman, After Thrilling Sky
Struggle. Calls Atlantan First
Aviator in Land.
Despite his thrilling gxpmience when
he battled for his life with the wind for
more than an hour, while soiling over
the state capitol. C. L. Wiggins, -the
young Atlanta aviator, declared today
that he would attempt again his pro
posed flight from the Speedway to
Ponce DeLeon park.
Mrs. Galbraith Rodgers, widow of the
.famous, coast-to-eoast flyer, declared
today that after Wiggins’ display of
skill and nerve yesterday she did not
hesitate to rank him among the first
aviators of the land.” and I’ll trust him
with my machine under any sort of
conditions." she said emphatically.
Up An Hour With
Motor Going Full Speed.
“It was simply a battle between a
man and the elements," said Mrs.
Rodgers, "and though the elements
woij, I consider it a moral victory for
the man.
“Mr. Wiggins had risen easily, and,
mounting about 5,000 feet, headed the
machine for Ponce DeLeon. The wind
was blowing fiercely, but he made fair
ly good time until he reached a point
just over the capitol. There the wind
was so strong that the motor refused to
budge the aeroplane. He could have
shut off his power and made a descent,
but if he did this he likely would have
wrecked the machine.
"Instead of doing this, he fought the
wind. For an hour he remained aloft
with his motor going at full speed and
the machine as motionless as the rock
of Gibraltar. Finally he was compelled
to go with the wind. Time and time
again he tried to make landings, but
each time the blast was too strong. He
had been carried ten miles before he
finally succeeded in coming to earth.
"His whole action was cool and well
planned, but he didn't lack the nerve,
either. He telephoned me today that
he was ready to try again, and if the
wind will permit he will go through the
air from the Speedway to Ponce De-
Leon.”

STRIKE ARBITERS
TAKING UP ISSUES
Fight Between Georgia Road
and Unions Hinges on the
Discharge of Paschal.
The board of arbiters in tlie Georgia
railroad strike met this morning at 10
o’clock in the Federal building to begin
argument in the cases of the union
workmen. Conductor Paschal and Flag
man Morgan, who were discharged by
th? railroad for alleged infraction of
the rules.
The main fight hinges on the case
of the conductor, because he is charged
with having worked longer than six
teen hours in violation of the Eederal
law and a bulletin of the railroad. Tlie
contention of the labor unions'will be
that Paschal did not violate the letter
of the law. while the contention of the
railroad will be that he violated the
spirit of it
“The bulletin issued by the road said
in effect that no conductor should op
erate a tram longer than sixteen hours
on the main line," said F. A. Burgess
today. "Mr. Paschal took his train off
the main line onto a siding and thus
conformed to the rules. If he worked
longer on a sidetrack h> did not violate
the letter < f the ruling. Tlie Federal
act prohibiting employees of railroads
to work longer than sixteen continuous
hours w'as passed several years ago to
safeguard the public from accidents
which it would be Impossible for sleepy,
employees to avoid."
The road holds on the other hand,
that in working longer than sixteen
hours cn main line or off of it Conduc
tor Paschal violated the rules. Charles
A. Wickershnm will represent this side
and Hon. William L. Chambers Will
umpire. There is no fight, said Mr.
Burgess, over terminals.
Whether counsel is to be employed
will be decided early. The unions de
not think it necessary.
