MARION CLUBS PLANS
A DEBATING SOCIETY TO STUDY
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
A Permanent Organization Is Effect
ed-The Hon. John l.. Grifhths
Delivers IN Address.

At a meeting held by the members Of the
Marion Club, last night, it was decided
that the organization ought TO branch
out" in its work, and with this end in view
a debating society was organized. All of the
members OF the club will belong to the So
ciety and may take part in its meetings.
1t is the purpose of the new organization
ITO study governmental policies from the
standpoint of the Republican party, and
mutually educate the members in matters
Of political science to the end that the eff
cheney of the Marion Club as a political or
ganization shall be increased"
Permanent officers were elected as fol-
lows: Chairman, Larz A. Whitcomb; secre-
tary. ]. Lyman Jones; committee on exer-
cises. Charles N. Thompson. NJ. L. Claw
son and James A. Collins. John L. Griffiths
was present and briefly addressed the men,
bers of the club, touching on the purpose
for which they had met. Mr.. Grifiths said
that DR.. Johnson. a long time ago. defined
a club as an organization Of good fell
lows Mr.. Grifiths thought the Marion
Club measured up to the full requirements
Of the definition. Good cheer and good fell
lowship are always to be found within its
rails. MANY of the club members believe
said Mr.. Grifiths, that 1t should be an
educational force in the community; that a
critical study should be made of the great
public questions in which all good citizens
are so vitality interested. We should study
municipal problems as well as the larger
questions Of trusts and expansion. We must
inform ourselves before we can inform
others. We must be able to give a sufficient
reason for the hope and faith that are in
us. We must prove ourselves worthy of
membership in a party that has always
stood for things honest. and just, and of
good repute.'" Mr.. Gltff:t ms urged the young
men whom he was addressing to study the
election laws closely.
Short addresses were also made by
Charles N. Thompson, Nj. L. Clawson,
James a. Collins and Frapx L. Littleton.
The meetings of the new organization will
be held on the second and fourth Tuesday
nights in each month.

HE Talked OF SUICIDE
THE UNIQUE ALLEGATION MADE BY
HELEN A. ROBERTSON.
Her Husband, She Says, Was Fond of
Frightening Her-Judge Carter
Grants Her n Divorce.

Judge Carter, of the Superior Court. yes
terday decided a divorce suit that had some
unique features about it. The plaintiff was
Helen a. Robertson. who was married to
Clark e. Robertson In 1893. She told the
court Of a number of very annoying traits
of character possessed by her husband. He
seemed to be fond of frightening her, and.
according to her story, would frequently
talk of committing suicide. He would do
this when out of humor with her, it appears.
Sometimes, she said. he would take up a
bean or a grain of corn and place it in his
mouth with the declaration that il was
poison and he was going to kill himself.
At the time she believed the substance was
poison and would become very much fright
ened. She said her husband would say
goodbye as he placed these alleged
poisonous pellets in his mouth.
Robertson, IL Is claimed, once made his
wife believe he had swallowed carbolic
acid. He drank something out of a spoon
and then fell on the floor and called for
wafer, declaring that his throat was burn
ing. Mrs. Robertson afterward found that
her husband drank a spoonful of water in
stead of carbolic acid. After hearing this
evidence Judge Carter concluded that Mrs.
Robertson was entitled to a divorce. Her
husband was not In court.

A UNIQUE SOCIETY.
The evoke Fellows" Composed Of
Young Men Of the First Baptist.

The Yoke Fellows" an organization Of
young men, was effected at the First Bap-
fist Church last night by the election of
the following officers: President, Bert
Essex; secretary, Henry e. Denison; treas
urer, Mr.. Harrington. An interesting ad-
dress was delivered by DR.. G. V. Woollen,
in which he compared the teachings Of the
Bible to scientific Investigations.
The object of the society is, principally.
to promote good fellowship among the
young men of the church. Twenty years
ago there was a society known as the yoke
Fellows" which included in it's membership
men who are now strongly identified with
the progress of the city. A committee was
appointed to look after young men who are
strangers in the city and make them feel
at home. Another committee was named to
promote an interest in athletics and still
another TO arrange for social entertain
nents. Social gatherings will be held once
a month and every two weeks a good
speaker will be heard. Another meeting
will be held next Tuesday night at the
First Baptist Church.
