SHOCKING!
Revelations in Divorce Case of
Terry Who is to Marry
SybiI SandersOn.

Paris. May 22.-The fourth chamber Of
the civil tribunal began today the trial
of the cross divorce suit brought by
Antonio Terry, against his wife.
Mr.. Terry is represented to be the
ffnancee of Syb1 SandersOn, the prima
donna, formerly of San Francisco, the
Terry-SandersOn marriage being cOntin-
gent upon the success of this action.
Maitre Allan, counsel for Mrs Terry,
stated that the husband had been guilty
of notorious intrigues with women in
Paris and had Travelled about with Miss
Sanderson, while his wife was left pen
niless. He read the various declara-
tions which have been made for and
against Mrs. Terry.
Some of these charged her with ma
bituaI drunkenness, her conduct Whlle
under the influence of drink being de-
scribed as terribly pern1c10us TO her
daughter. Other afhdaVits from her
physicians her servants and such well
known people as the painter, Caran
D'Ache, directly cOntradicted these, her
physicians affirming that she suffered
excruciating recurrent pains, requiring
high doses of choral an abuse of which
would produce in a woman OF her con-
stitution and temperament fits similar
to those of Intoxicating drink Alan
concluded by insisting that as Mr.. Ter
ry was a Spanish subject at the time
of marriage, the court should order an
application of the Spanish law and
a
the fortune estimated at 50,O0O,OOO
francs, equally between husband and
wife. He demanded also that Mrs. Ter
ry should have possession of the child
whom, he said the father had never
visited at her school
Maftre Weldeck- Rosseau, attorney for
Mr.. Terry, declared that the testimony
which had been offered against the
wife was much below the real enormity
of the facts. He described Mrs. Terry,
when intoxicated, as walking about the
house nude and begging for drink, even
eau de cologne and pure alcohol. This
he said, had been witnessed by her
daughter, who peeped through key
holes and told what she had seen,
adding that her mothers present lovers
would be her own tomorrow. He de-
MED that Mr.. Terry was as wealthy as
had been claimed by Maitre Allan. He
said that the failure of the Terry sugar
plantation in Cuba had cost his client
300 600 francs. Finally he asked the
court to decree Mr.. Terry an absolute
separation from his wife and to apply
the laws of the United States, leaving
the husband in possession of the entire
fortune.
No witnesses were called. It is prob
able that the trial will end today.

GRAVE ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Een Who Stole Millionaire Ladd's
Body are Under Arrest

Portland, Ore. May 22.-The body OF
the late millionaire banker, w. S. Ladd,
which was stolen from the grave last
Monday night, has been revered and
Daniel G.. Magone, middle-aged
farmer living near Oregon City, and
Charles Montgomery, a young man
who also resides near Oregon City, are
under arrest. Montgomery has made
a confession, duplicating MagOne and
two other men who are yet at large.
After Montgomery had made his con-
fession he took the officers to the spot
where the body was buried. This was
on Magone's farm one mile and a half
below Oregon City on the Willamette
river The body was found practically
in the same condition in which it was
when removed from the grave. The
clue leading to the arrest of the men
and the recovery of the body was a
drawing knife with which the case was
opened and which was left near the
grave. A blacksmith at Mid Wauk1e
made the knife and when it was shown
to him by the detectives he immediate
ly recognized it as one he had made
for NagOne some time before.

STUDENTS MOB VOTERS
Senate Hall at Cambridge Filled With
Smoke of Discharged Fireworks

SMOKE of Discharged Fireworks.
New York, May PA special to the
Journal from London says:
The equal rights cause has received a
temporary setback at Cambridge, where
the senate of the university refused to
admit the rights of women to the de-
gree of B. a. Members of the Equal
Rights association may congratulate
themselves, however, upon the fact that
their adVerSaries were compelled to ex-
ert all their strength to achieve decis-
i've majority.
Never in the modern history of the
university of Cam bridge has such
scene been witnessed. Polling was go
ing on slowly and the thousands of un-
derSraduateS who had assembled on
Kings Parade amused themselves by
pelting one another with fireworks,
confetti, squibs, bombs, bags of flour
and blue eggs.
The cheering was almost deafening.
Although rough play abOunded every
where, everyone preserved good tenn
per. Some of the fireworks found their
way into the senate house, which, with
its precincts, was filled with smoke.
The belated voters were cheered or
groaned at, according to the side up
on which they voted.
After the vice chancellor had declar-
ed the Doll from the south entrance
non-placets LIB, placets 664, the en-
thusiasm was indescribable. Upon its
becoming known that the proposals had
been lost, q rush TO the telegraph Oft1ce
followed and the wires were quickly
blocked.
A procession of nearly a thousand
undergraduates proceeded to promenade
the town carrying one of the boards
announcing the result of the polling.
The first resolution having been
beaten, the remaining four were with
drawn.
In rooms over a restaurant which had
been particularly active in hOoting, the
crowd was pelted with oranges, with
the result that all of the front windows
were smashed.
There was an overwhelming major
ity of votes against the proposals. Dur
ing the first half hour the supporters
were greeted with groans and cries of
You're old enough to know better"
The center rooms at Caius college
were adorned with five gaudily trim
med ladies' hats, underneath which
were the words: Lectures on Hats
Latest Designs
The question of comforting title of
recognized degree on woman has been
the subject at Cambridge for the past
twelve months or more and local feel
ing has been running high this term,
resident members of the senate being d1-
vided into two camps, with the major
ity against the concessions.

KNIGHTS OF PYTH1As TO COME
Chan cellor Bird Will Call Conven-
ton at Topeka for Festival Week.


City Attorney W. A s. Bird, who was
elected grand chancellor of the Knights
of Pythias of Kansas, has returned
from Wichita and it goes without say
irg that Mr.. Bird viii do all in his
power to make the fraternal feature of
the Fall Festival a success.
Mr. Bird is the only man in the state
who has passed through all the chairs
in the grand lodge and it is an addi-
tiOnal compliment to say that he was
elected in each case without an op-
posing vote He is naturally very much
interested in the Knights of Pythias
and he would like to see that Organiza-
tion make a creditable show in Topeka
during the Fall Festival.
Mr.. Bird said today: THE grand
lodge provided for the holding of dis
trict conventions during the year 1t
is left with the chancellor to fix the
boundaries of the district and fix the
place of meeting. 1 have already fixed
a meeting for the northwest at Colby
on June %.
If there is nothing in the way. 1
shall call meeting for the district
which includes Topeka during the FAN
Festival. 1 have not thought over the
matter much and could not say how
large the district would be, but it would
include eight or ten of the counties
nearest Topeka which would in any
event send the largest delegations.
4 suppose that 4 large number of
Knights would come to the Fail Fes-
would bring from 1000 to 5000 who
would not otherwise come. OF course
there would be nothing to hinder
Knights coming from outside the dis
trict
If the uniformed rank is asked to
come it would be necessary to make
some arrangements to induce them to
come. They are self-sustaining
branch of the order and pay their own
expenses at meetings but prizes are
usually offered for the best drilled
companies and OF late years we have
been paying half their railroad fare.
If something Of that kind could be
done in this case I am sure a large
number of the members of the uniform
rank would come.
Since other organizations are pre-
pairing to make d showing during the
Fall Festival our members would GER
tainly like to be heard
Il shall look into the matter at once.
and 1 think that meeting of the
Knights of Pythias can be arranged
for Festival week. and you can count
on large number being present if the
meeting is held"
