Miss Sinclair was born in the neighborhood

home has been in London or near it. Har-
mouth in The Divine Fire was drawn from
Sidmouth, in South Devon. She has written
verses and has even attempted the drama. but

of the novelist. She has only to go on writing
books as good The Divine Fire" to make
that career one of considerable distinction

condemnatory novel but a humorous satire
which is only the more effective because it Is
so funny. The central figure is an honorable
but stOdgy individual, who is lured into an en-

unhappy course in unfamiliar waters Is set forth
with sidelights on the dishonest promoting in

book is a capital skit upon certain phases of
modern life and upon certain very human types
in it. Also, it Is a positively brilliant satire
upon the modern two-volume official biogra-
ply. Not only in his text. but in his foot
notes and in the introduction, Mr.. Belloc uses
the manner of the biograuher whose style we

COLLISION ON HUDSON
RIVER LINE.
FOURTEEN ARE INJURED
And Three Of Them May
Die.

Passaic, N. j., Aug. 25.-Two cars Of
tle Hudson River Traction company's
line came together in head-on col
lision at Passaic street and Colum.
liza avenue here tonight and fourteen
passengers were injured, three of
whom may die. The accident took
place at sharp curve and the cars
were running at very high rate of
speed when they came together.
All of the seriously injured are in
the local hospital. Both mUtormen,
when they saw that the accident could
not be avoided, jumped and the cars
crashed into each other with the pow
er still on. All of the injured were III
the forward end of the cars and were
buried in the wreckage.
Policeman Howard, who was a pas.
senger on one of the cars, sent in an
alarm and the police reserves and sew
Cral ambulances were hurried to the
scene. The work of rescuing the in
iured was begun at once and soon all
were cared for in the hospital.

BOUND OVER
Hearing in Greentown
Assault Case.

Charles s. Wise, of Greentown, who
was arrested upon the charge Of as
sault and battery upon the person Of
his brother-in-law, J. II. Kryder, OF
Akron, was given a hearing before
Justice L. M. Barrick yesterday ami
bound over to probate court in the
sum of $500.
There were number of witnesses
examined and the testimony was sufl-
cient, the justice decided, to warrant
holding the accused. Wise went upoh
the stand in his own behalf and he
attempted to show that he had reason
to be jealous of Kryder and his own
wife, but Justice Barrick did not allow
this line of questioning to be pursued
as he held that it was not pertinent to
a preliminary hearing. Mrs. Rodgers,
of Akron, was a witness and told the
story of the assault. Wise had struck
Kryder and followed him out of the lot
striking repeatedly. There was no
provocation except the old family feud
growing out of Kryder and his wife be-
ing divorced, the wife being a sister Of
Mr.. Wise. The case will be tried in all
it's details in probate court and prom
ises to be racy. Attorney ]. B. Snyder
represented the prosecution and James
Sterling the defense. Wise gave bond
for his appearance when wanted.

POOR JEWS

Berlin, Aug. 2G.-Nondon Times)-
The Cologne Gazette learns that a
number of Russian ministers and
heads Of departments have discussed
the reversal of a number of erroneous
interpretations of laws affecting the

court had received force of law by de.
cree of the council of the empire. The
1inding of the ministerial conference
was submitted to the czar when as.
sented to the resolution of reversal
which will soon be promulgated.

IMPROBABLE
That Chadwick Has Dras-
tic Orders

Washington, Aug. 25.--It cannot be
definitely ascertained tonight that any
instructions have been given Rear
Admiral Chadwick to prevent the seiz-
ire of American vessels by Russian
cruisers off the African coast Of
ficials generally discredit the state
ment that orders of this character have
been given. They pronounce 1t as
highly improbable"
They say Admiral Chadwick. with
tne South Atlantic squadron, the
cruiser Brooklyn flagship, has orders
~ cruise around in South African
waters and has probably left for some
other port of call.
1t is the policy of the administra-
ton to refrain from interference in the
!Tar Eastern war. Russian has given
satisfactory assurance to the state
department that neutral commerce
will not be molested.

detectives today headed by N. e.
Bailey, assistant superintendent, trac-
ed three men believed to be the high
waymen who robbed Paymaster White
of the O'Rourke Construction company
of $5.112 to point near this city at
the head of Union avenue. Italian
quarters in this city are being search

known to be Italians.
The double barrelled shotgun and a
Smith & Wesson 32-calibre revolver
and handkerchief with eye-holes
were found twenty squares from the
scene Of the hold-up i'm the woods this
afternoon. The detectives are certain
that the satchel which contained the
money is still in the woods and search
will be made for 1t in the morning.
Two men. it is learned. were seen
shortly after the robbery going over the
Notch road. This clue will be taken
up by the Pinkertons tomorrow.

WOULDN'T PAY
Fifty Gents a Week For
Their Mother.

Sebring, o., Aug. 25.-Dan Jones,
William Jones and Dave Jones, thres
brothers who reside at Sebring. were
arrested this morning on charge OF
non-support of their mother, who is
confined in the county inflrmary at
Canneld. About three months ago
they we're arrested on the same charge.
The humane officer at Youngstown
filed the charges, the parties were then
taken over to Youngstown and were re-
leased upon the promise that each
would contribute the paltry sum of so
cents week for the support of their
mother. They made good promises and
were released, but the humane officer
says that so far they have not con-
tributed single cent. He had war
rants issued again and the deputy sher-
if took the men to Youngstown to-
day for their hearing.
On account of their fooling with the
orders of the court it is expected the
affair will be of somewhat serious
nature.

ROTH
SUED FOR DIVORCE ON
CRUELTY CHARGE.
AN OLD SUPERSTITION
Recalled by the Death Of
Three Children.

Marie Rothe, of Canton, has brought
suit for divorce against Richard Rothe,
charging extreme cruelty. They were
married in Germany. coming to this
country, the wife states in her peti.
tion that her husband struck her at
one time, knocked her down and kick
ed her after she had fallen. Blood
flowed from her nose and mouth, she
says, she was bruised about the body,
and her arm cut by blows and kicks.
She claims that she is delicate and in
spite of this fact he compelled her to
clean the saloon and do other work
that was too hard for her. AS a re-
suit of her illness she had to go to the
Aultman hospital and undergo an oper.

Four children were born of the mar.
riage, three boys and one girl. The
first child born was named Walter.
The second son died and later third
was born and was christened Walter,
only to die in infancy. This recalls
the superstition that it is bad luck to
name child after another in the same
family that has died.
Rothe owns quite lot of property
in the city and an injunction was al
lowed restraining him from in any way
disposing of or encumbsring it. The
wife also asks alimony and the Gus.
tody of the daughter. Charles Krich.

RUSSIA S
OBJECT IN ATTACKING
BRITISH SHIPS is TO
lNJURE JAPAN'S TRADE
Now Largely Held by
Great Britain

London, Aug. 26.-Uondon Times.)
THE Russian correspondent of the
Times attributes the attitude Of st.
Petersburg towards British far east
shipping interests, to the determina-
tion of Russia to do her utmost to in
jure Japan's foreign trade. II is weh
l-nown in Russia that Great Britain
lakes an enormous percentage of jap
ems import and export business and it
is reasoned that severe economic
blow can be dealt Japan by intimidat-
ing British shippers into abandoning
their Japanese trade.
Russia is said to consider the bleak
ing up of shipments of absolute con.
tIaband of comparatively slight i'm
lortance. her real object being to ere,
ste great industrial distress in the
ountry whose armies she has so far
not been able to overcome. Russia
aims not merely at the breaking up
Of Japan's trade in ordinary war mater
ials but her attack is directed at the
trade of her enemy in general. She
hopes to be able to discredt both in
Great Britain and Japan the alliance
existing between the two countries,
showing the British relations between
them and Russia for the sake of their
Japanese ally, at the same time limiting
10 the Japanese that Great Britain is
too timid to maintain her own rights,
to say nothing Of extending active
help to the Japanese.
