LOOKS LIKE THE DOVE OF PEACE MAY BE A CROW For slapstick comedy it had a Key stone movie lashed to the mast. It was a riot, a row and a wrestling match pulled off between Stanley Janos, who loves his wife, and the "missus, who was scared that he in tended to kill her. Stanley got his first inning before Judge Rooney and he said he had been driven from home by the star boarder, who objected to Stanley feeding the dog coffee and bread in stead of beefsteak. Mrs. Janos said that wasn't so. It was a case of too much mother-in-law. For 13 years they had gotten along fine, until Stanley brought his mother to Chicago, and then mother suggested that she should be boss of the house, and wife replied that she was first boss and Stanley was sec ond boss, and there wasn't room for any more bosses and mother would please mind her own business. "She jabbed me in the head with the scissors," said Stanley. "I can show the doctor bill where I got it fixed. That was four years ago." "Sure I did, judge, and if somebody was chokin' you wouldn't you jab them with scissors? He gave me only coffee and bread, and I told him I should have more, and he said I should eat 'til I bust He promised to take my life, and everything that I done for him, made him shirts and his clothes and all, and you can see what a good shirt it is. "I made my necktie," said Stanley. "It's all the boarder. He pays $1.25 for his room and he don't pay for eating, but she always cooks some extra so he can get some for noth ing. Am I to feed a star boarder that sits around in the library all the .time reading?" "If she puts the star boarder out of the house, are you willing to go home and provide for her arid for the children?" asked Ass't State's Att'y Josjnia, to whom the missus had. been unburdening her troubles while Stanley appealed to the court. "Sure, I am," said Stanley, and to prove he was he made a rush at the missus, tried to grab her with a half Nelson and give her a kiss, but she struggled and they struggled and she protested and Stanley insisted until Judge Rooney called them to time. The case was continued until Aug. 27 for the star boarder to be removed and peace reign over the domicile of Stanley and the missus. But as it re quired the persuasion, physically and verbally, of the bailiff to remove Mrs. Stanley from the court, the while she appealed for protection against the promise of Stanley to kill her, it looked as if the dove might turn out to be a crow. $6,000 PLUM GOES TO VIRGINIAN IcwttS r Cwili&B.
