the entire session of the senate was de-
voted to the section of the naval an
preparation bill relating to armor arm

providing also that the government
should erect a plant of its own. Sen

Keane is said by prominent Catholics
to be proof of the failure of the French

their friends have always maintained

YCENG PULLMAN'S ESCAPADES.
Eastern Folk Quite Interested in His
Marital Affairs.

New York, May 1.-THE compli.
Gated marital affairs Of George NJ
Pullman continue to furnish an in
tRresting topic. If the picturesque
young Chicagoan would only tell
where and when and how he obtained
divorce from Mrs. Pullman, No. l.
and if Mrs. Pullman, No. 2, would
only be so obliging as TO inform the
curious how she secured a decree OF
separation from Frederick V. Bowers,
without his knowledge or consent,
then would the subject be robbed of
its mystery and the gossips find ia it
no further fascination.
Lawyer Abe Hummal has been re-
tanned by Pullman 10 defend the suits
brought against him by Bowers. Mr..
Hummel seemed to furnish clew as
to how. Mrs. Bowers secured a divorce
by the chance remark that the young
woman had married the song COM
poser while she was yet in her
teens" This remark suggested the
theory that when she welded Bowers
she was not of marriageable age.
When this phase of the question
was put before Mr. Bowers. he said:
My wife was not in her teens when
we were married in Milwaukee. She
was quite a long way OUT Of them.
At the time OF our wedding she was
over p. Today she is "A years old.
l have the most positive proof OF this,
and have given the proofs into the
hands of my lawyer"
When aked if he intended, in addi-
ton TO his civil suit for damages, TO
enter criminal charge against Pull
man, the song writer replied!
