END or HUBBARD DIVORCE SUIT.
The Defendant Said He Was willing 10 Pay
SI1x Month AIin,eny.

BUFFALO, June 26--The trial of the suit
Of Mrs. Bertha c. Hubbard for divorce
from Ebert G. Hubbard. the sage Of East
Aurora. ended this afternoon The de-
cision will not be ammo unced for at least
ten days, as Hubbard's attorney is to sub
NIT to Mrs. Hubbard's attorneys SOME
written suggestions. which then are to be
submitted to Justice Kenefck. On the
stand to-day Hubbard said he was willing
to allow Mrs. Hubbard Sl25 month. He
said he could not afford to give more.
Most of the testimony was to show that
Hubbard's 8 income is larger than he is will
ing to admit. On this point Attorney
Norris Morey, representing Mrs. Hubbard.
submitted testimony that made Hubbard
squirm. He showed that Hubbard had de-
clared in published articles that the Roy
croft shops at East Aurora represented
an investment Of about S25O,O00, and that
Hubbard had derived fancy prices for some
Of his publications
Mrs, Hubbard expects to prove that she
was the one to introduce the work Of hand
illumination of books in the Roycroft shops,
and that she directed the work of the ap-
prentices in this branch of work. which.
it is alleged, brought large incomes to
Hubbard. Statements published IN the
Cosmopolitan with reference to Hubbard's 8
lecturing trip were put in evidence. Mr..
Morey also read a number of other extracts
from the Cosmopolitan, some Of which
created a general laugh and all OF which,
excepting those portions relating to Hub.
bard's business and profits, were ruled out.
Mr.. Morev tried to get this sentence in the
article introduced in evidence: Il nave
Morey said he wanted it in the evidence
as bearing upon the question Of the adj
visibility of allowing the father to have
possession of his children. Mr.. Wade OBJ
jected and the Court sustained him.

clared that money has been lost there this
year and that his account at the East Aurora
Bank 10 overdrawn. Hs said the notoriety
given, to the divorce suit had paralyzed
time telling Of the spirit in which the shop
is run. He said that there were former
convicts working there; also an insane
person. who escaped from Middleport
old. He said he looked on work as pana-
cea. Everybody at the shops was expected
to lose himself in his work and look on work
as honorable. The blacksmith shop is a
teacher Of Greek history, he said.
Asked if his boys We're educated, he re-
piled
"Yes. they can make change" He added
later that he did not know Of any boys
anywhere that could beat them in any
respect.
Much time was spent in going over the
proceeds of lecturing tours, and on that
point Mr. Hubbard said:
Il know perfectly we'll that people go to
hear me because they look on me as sort
of freak and can only speak to an au-
dience once, because I have only the one
theme-the work at the Roycroft shop.
believe the lectures are necessary to the
continuance Of the work there. and Of course
the work there supplies material for the
lectures.
At the end OF public part of the suit
Mr.. Hubbard scattered among the court
room crowd copies Of Ali Baba sayings"

Sun SHINES IN NEWPORT.
Sign for Activity In Summer COlOny--Mrs
Payne Whitney's Luncheon.

NEWPORT, r. l., June 26.-For the first
time in three weeks the sun came out and
shone in Newport to-day, and it was the
signal for general activity in the summer
colony. The Newport Casino which has
been practically deserted, was the OBJ
jective point of the cottagers during the
morning and the tennis courts were in
demand
A few visited the Country Club and for
the first time this season golf was played
on the links there. There was also much
activity at the landing Of the New York
Yacht Club. Several yachts which had
gone to New London with large parties OF
society people returned to-day and tonight
there is quite fleet of boats in the harbor
There were few events to-day Of a social
nature, the leading one being the luncheon
given by Mrs. Payne Whitney for young
people this afternoon. This is Mrs. Whit
ney's first entertainment of the season.
Cottage dinners were given This evening by
Mrs Elisha Dyer Jr., Mrs George Peabody
Wetmore and Mrs. William H. Sands. The
guests at some of the dinners attended the
open air theatre at Freebody Park later in
the evening
There is every reason to believe that the
month of August will he the most lively
in the history Of Newport as fashionable
resort. Several balls are already heard of
and with the removal OF the rule not allow =
ing entertainments at the Country Club
il is understood that this place will be greatly
in demand for balls ard dinner parties.
The governors have reduced the fee for
golf playing and an arrangement has been
made whereby any person can enjoy thus
part of the institution. In years past
il was necessary for n person TO be intro
duced by one of the members. thereby
