Of the city in which the police were driven
TO the barracks by the superior force OF the
strikers, Greater bloodshed is, anticipated.
SANTIAGO. Chile, May 13.-The strike OF
dock, laborers at Valparaiso is becoming
more serious, The strikers, after setting
fire to the quay as we'll, as to the offices
of the South American Steamship com
pany, had numerous encounters with the

SECRET ABOUT THE SUIT
Mrs. Roland n. MoIineux is Using
Every Influence TO Avoid
Publicity.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., May ~1S-(special)
Extraordinary efforts are to be made to
suppress every detail OF the divorce suit Of
Mrs. Roland B. Molineux and prevent pub
licity being given II. All the influence OF
United States Senate Kittredge and his
familiarity with the procedure in such cases
will be used to keep the details OF the case
from the public. D..
While the law firm Of Klttredge, winans
& Scott was engaged to conduct the APP
preaching suit OF Mrs. Moiineux Senator
Kittredege has now taken personal charge
Of the case and will conduct It until a de-
cree Is granted and Mrs. Molineux departs
for New York.
Mrs. Mollneux has been enjoined not to
talk to any one about her case, and those
who call upon her for information will sim
ply be referred to Senator Kittredge. who
absolutely refuses to discuss her case in
any way.
An Idea appears to prevail thai the six
months required by Mrs. Molineux to es-
tablish a legal residence in the city and
state expired yesterday. According to rec
ords here she did not reach Sioux Falls
until November IA last and her six months
will not expire until Thursday of this week.
From the best information Mrs. Molineux
will apply for a divorce on the grounds Of
extreme cruelty, which is one Of the six
causes for which divorces are granted in
South Dakota. Extreme cruelty, under the
state statutes, consists of the inflction OF
grievous physical or mental suffering, and
Mrs. Molineux, II her suit is based on this
ground. as expected, will allege that her
husbands arrest and conviction on the
charge of murder inflicted upon her Rriev-
GUS mental suffering.

for the unions came up while Mr.. Yeiser

He was called to HIS telephone for a mo-
ment and when he returned he said:
"A contractor has Just made the first
appeal for the application of the restrain
ing order He telephones that he has
been denied lime, cement and lumber be-
cause he is friendly TO the unions and
asked what could be done. L told him to
go to the supply firms who had denied
him and make a formal demand that they
desist from longer refusing him the stuff
he wants; that II they still refuse he shall
se US the names OF the firms and we
W. have copies of this restraining order
served upon them; that he is TO follow the

served he Is TO renew his demand in the
presence of witnesses; that II Il be still
refused he shall so report to us and i'm
