FRANCE EXPELS THE
CHARNREUSE MONKS
They Declare They Will Never Reveal
Secret of Making the Liquor.

PARIS, Feb. 22-The monks Of the
Grande Chartreuse are still awaiting
the completion of their new home.
which is to be near Vienna. The French
government has definitely expelled the
order from France, and its cloister,
formerly the richest in the Department
of Isere, stands deserted. The gov
eminent declared in answer to the last
petition of the monks to be allowed to
return to their old home, that the con-
gregauOn had never been authorized
from the time of it's founding in 1904.
After their first expulsion in 1896 the
monks returned in 1916 to France Sew
enteen years afterward they began to
manufacture the liquor now associated
with their names more closely than any
other attribute of the order. The white
liquor was first made and only two
litres of it were the daily output One
of the brothers carried this down to
Grenoble and Chambery, where 1t was
sold.
The demand for this rare drink in
creased rapidly. The green liquor was
next manufactured and then Peter
GARNER discovered the method of maxi
ing the yellow liquor. Efforts were
soon made to induce the order to set
tie in Rome, but that plan was aban-
doned. The authorities forced the sep
aration Of the cloiSter and the distil-
lery, which was removed to a distance.
The order was compelled to send to
Rome share of its profits, which dur
ing the first year amounted to $780,
600, but rapidly increased to $4,000
1t was much debated, when the order
came that the monks must abandon
their home, whether or not they were
in reality a source of prosperity to
the region of Grenoble. Alcoholism is
said to have increased since they went
there, and the population, though poor,
is not inclined to work. The best
the laborers have enigrated and it has
been necessary to send to Italy for
those needed to work in the fields The
French government, in fact, refused to
protect the order on any national
grounds after the nationality Of the
most active brothers became known. OF
these thirty-seven were French, FIVE
Swiss, three German and one italian,
Dutch and Spanish, in addition to a
large number who belonged to other
nations. The brothers, Of course, see
in their expulsion only an attempt to
get possession of their trade mark and
their old factory that a new chartreuse
may go out to the world.
They may take the distillery,' the
head Of the order is reported as say
ing, "and even the name and trade
mark. How many offers have we al
ready had to sell them? But the secret
of making the liquor is only ours. and
always will be. That we will carry
wherever we 60"

WOULD BUY OFF
DESERTED WIFE
Alice Bradley Wants to Mar
ry Charles Quintard, but
Objectsto Price.

STAMFORD, Conn, Feb. 22-Miss
Alice Bradley, the Connecticut girl who
has been sued for $4,000 damages by
Mrs. Charles E. Quintard for alternating
the affections of her husband, will be
twenty-one years old on May and
will inherit a fortune estimated at
$4,000. She has spent practically all
her life in the vicinity of Stamford,
Conn. She was brought up with three
brothers and was their constant play
mate and companion.
What She Did as a Child.
"Swapped" dogs and goats.
Wore knickerbockers and gum boots
and could sail, row or mend a boat
Climbed trees, played ball and mar
bles.
Could skate, fly a kite, run a-foot-
race, fish, or throw stone as we'll as
any of her brothers.
What She Did as Girl.
Rode a horse astride.
- Rode after the hounds and drove
fast horses.
Was crack shot with rifle or shot
gun and wore fetching short-skirted
costume when she went out for game
Would bring back a full game bag.
Drank high-balls.
Wore tailor made suits, collars. ties.
fancy Watstcoats and mannish hats.
Preferred outdoor sports and exer-
cises to afternoon teas, receptions and
dances.
Joined circus and drove three
horses abreast in a chariot race
What She Has Done as a Woman.
Offered Mrs. Charles E. Quintard,
nelghbor and friend, a fair" price for
her husband.
Took trip to Canada with Quintard
and returned to Stamford with him so
that Mrs. Quintard might, for a con-
sheraton, divorce her husband.
Is living an isolated life with Quin-
tard Oh her uncle's farm and will op-
pose Mrs. Quintards suit for $4,000
for alternating her husbands affections
on the ground that the sum is exhorbi-
tant.
What She Looks Like.
Has red hair.
Her face is covered with freckles
and tan from outdoor life-the kind
that won't come off.
1t about five feet five inches tall,
weighs about 140 pounds and has a fine,
straight, athletic figure.
1t Is absurd to say that robbed
Mrs. Quintard of her husbands affec-
tions," said Miss Bradley. "Why, she
is older than Charley and lost his af-
fect1ons herself long ago, because she
was cross and sour and gave him the
worst Of 1t. Why didn't she sue some
OF the other women, and especially one
that Charley went about with before he
met me?
Fifty thousand dollars! That is more
than I'll get when come of age.
She must want it all. If she really
thinks I've done her harm, why doesn't
she name some fair price, instead Of
bringing this absurd suit? It is ridicu-
lous." -

GERMANY IN HASTE
TO MAKE FIRST
COLLECTION
Asks Mr.. Bowen to Put Up
Money for Venezuela
Which Is Not Due for
Three Weeks Yet = Re-
quest Promptly Turned
Down.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
German government, through its rep
reSentative here, Baron Won Sternberg,
has made a request of Mr.. Bowen for
the immediate payment Of the 6 $500
which it was stipulated in the protocol
signed on Feb. Is should be paid with
in thirty days from that date, as a
preliminary to the raising of the block
ade against Venezuelan ports and the
agreement to send the question Of pref
erentia1 treatment of the blockading
nations to The Hague for determine
ton.
Mr.. Bowen promptly declined to
2cede to the request, but informed
Baron Sternberg that, as provided in
the protocol, the money would be paid
to the German representative at Car
acas thirty days from Feb. 10, which
would be on the 18th of March.
The reason that animated the Ger
man government in making the request
is not disclosed here, nor is Mr.. Bowen
aware of it. The matter, however,
has some significance, perhaps, in view
of the fact that the ships taken by
the Germans during the blockade have
not yet been restored to Venezuela,
During the day Mr.. Bowen had calls
from the French ambassador, M. JUS
serand, the Spanish minister, Senior
Ojeda, and the Belgian minister, Baron
Moncheur, in regard to the protocols
that are in preparation for the settle
ment of the claims of the citizens Of
their countries against Venezuela
Rough drafts Of these instruments are
already on their way by mail to the
European governments interested, but
there are certain provisions regarding
them about which the ENJOYS desired
to consult Mr.. Bowen. The protocols
are expected to reach their destinations
the latter part of this week, pending
which no final steps for their joint
signature can be taken.
Belgium Is Satisfied.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-The correspondent
OF the Standard at Brussels telegraphs
that the protocol between Belgium and
Venezuela will be signed this week. Boil
gium, says the correspondent, has OBJ
tanned full satisfaction. The Belgian
claimants will receive 50, 800 900 after the
Anglo German claims have been paid.
