fHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 25. 1920. COOING BABY IS PEACEMAKER IN WARRING FAMILY jailer Boy Husband, After Two Court Lectures, Suc cumbs to Chubby Arms of His Tiny Son. A wee, cooing bit of humanity in the form of Baby Howard Eselin, jr, 9 weeks old, yesterday played the role of peacemaker in the latest chapter of the marital troubles of his parents, Howard and Rose Eselin, 1816 Maple street. The Eselins were in court twice last week. Tuesday Mrs. Eselin caused her husband's arrest on charges of- nonsupport and wife and child abandonment. Judge Fitzgerald said the case didn't be long in police court and passed it clong to juvenile court. Juvenile court authorities passed the buck to district court. While the case. was pending the Eselins met Friday night at Miller park and had an argument which is said to have ended in a fight. Police arrested both for disturbing the peace. Man or Mouse. In district court yesterday Judge Sears said the case belonged in po lice court. He scored Eselin, telling him he didn't have manhood enough to take care of his wife and baby. "Either ba-a man or be a mouse," exclaimed Judge Sears. "I've a suspicion you're going to be a mouse. You haven't got man hood enough even to be a good sai lor. You're a big 'spoiled' baby' and not man enough to want to take care of your young wife and baby. "I'm going to try to have you put out of the navy and then put the pressure of the law on you to make you support your wife and baby like any real man would want to do." Judge Washes His Hands. Eselin Friday was found guilty ot nonsupport of his wife and child after a hearing before Judge Sears, where he admitted he had enlisted secretly in the navy seven weeks ago, leaving his wife and. two weeks' old baby here. Judge Sears declined to have more to do with the case aside from tell ing the young husband his duty. "This is a police court case and the district court Jias no present jurisidiction in it," he said. . Front district court yesterday they went to police court. , Judge Fitz gerald's lecture to Eselin was ' al most as severe as the one adminis tered by'Judge Sears. "Just keep this thing up aird you are going to$ be classified as a de serter," said Judge Fitzgerald. "Go home and take care of your wife and baby. I don't know what to call you. Don't come back here any more." Baby Starts Action. It was then that Baby Howard, who throughout two court proceed ings had slept peacefully in his mother's arms, entered the scene. Mrs. Eselin and her husband walked to the rear ot ,the court room, where they stood for a mo ment, and then Eselin started out the door. It was necessary for him to pass very close to Mrs. Eselin. It might have been the sailor's uni form or perhaps it was just ababy's iu;:tinctive recognition of its father, but two big, blue eyes peered over the mother's shoulder and then Howard, jr., began to wiggle and squirm and twist in a manner that made the mother almost drop him. Baby Crows Gleefully. Two pink little hands beat a tattoo on the mother's shoulder, and turn ing to learn the cause of the baby's excitement Mrs. Eselin stood face to face with her husband. Not a word was spoken but the father held out his arms for the baby. Mrs. Eselin hesitated just a moment, then gave the child to him. There was a brief conversation in subdued tones in a corner of the room and then as arm in arm 'the couple started toward home, Baby Howard crowed gleefully on his father's shoulder, and there was just a trace of tears in the girl wife's eyes as she clung to her husband's arm and smiled up at him.

The fifth international cup race, upon which hangs' the fate of the Ameri can cup, today, was declared off by the regatta committee. The reason given was heavy weather. As the yachts started back to the shelter of the hook, the regatta com mittee signalled that the next race would be held Monday.
