consequence the Middletown was
greatly overcroN ded, scores of persons
being forced to stand.

Office on the day of the trial I could
have died of modification. The side

would tell all women to wear plain
clothes to the hearing of divorce case,

her trouble eliminating all the unnec-
essary details and one who is quietly

COURT DRESS At
DIVORCE TRIALS.
Man Needs No Advice, Because He Is
"Wise" and Studies Effects,
Never Forgetting Salient
Features

In what garments shall woman ar
ray herself when she appears before a
superior court in quest of legal separa-
ton from her husband?
Those who follow divorce courts
closely find that no two women ever
observe the same style of dress when
they apply for their divorces, and this
fact is laid to the door of the attorneys
to whom women appeal for advice
when they want to know even the
slightest detail about divorce proceed
ings.
"a woman seeking a divorce is one of
the most peculiar clients we have to
handle" said a prominent divorce at
torney yesterday. "In the first place,
either through modesty or because they
fear disclosing some peculiar actions of
their own, most women hold back
portion of the details which the hus-
band, who enters cross complaint, is
sure to remember and then we are met
with the proposition in open court,
taken by surprise and are unable to
offer defense.
when a woman enters our offices
now she enters into an agreement to
tell every detail concerning the ground
upon which she is to bring the divorce.
Various Types of Sobs
"Of course some of the women cry
during the recital of their troubles to
us, but we always attempt to eliminate
this feature when the case comes to
court, because some of the women's at
tempts to cry in a ladylike manner
creates the impression of shamming.
In other cases many of the women
have 1t all arranged how they shall
cry and as a result that which was in
tended for the sorrowing tears Of
troubled woman sound to the court
like the last howls of a dying tabby.
but the height of woe and sorrow
with which lawyer has to contend is
the consideration of their dresses for
the court scene. Some of their ques-
tions are positively shocking. For in
stance, young woman came to me the
other day and Immediately started on
the dress question. I am having a
perfectly lovely dress made for the
OCCASION she said. 1T is black tulle
with muslin du swig on the shoulders
and a pousse cafe founce.' At least
that was what it sounded like and
told her to go ahead and wear the
affair. especially because 1t was brown
and that color always goes well with
the court.

IN EXPLOSIONS
FIRE CHIEF LIPS PAINFULLY
BURNED
GAS IeNITED IN BASEMENT
Small Blaze In Music store Starts a
Series Of Acclde ents-M anholes
Blown OF, Causing Great
Excitement

Defective electric light wiring and
escaping gas played havoc in the vi
cinity of First and Spring streets yes
terday afternoon. Two fires and nu-
merous accidents following two explo-
sions resulted and great excitement
prevailed for few minutes. -Four
persons, including Fire Chief Lips,
were injured. They are:
FIRE CHIEF LIPS,
1. H. HOLMES, manager music
store.
FRANK cox, lineman.
CHRIS WUERTZ, lineman.
An alarm of fire was sent In from
Fitzgerald's music store at 113 South
Spring street shortly before o'clock
Chief Lips hurried to the fire and un-
dertook the direction of the freri1en In
descending the stairway to the base
ment, where the fire was raging, an
unidentified and greatly excited man
rushed by the chief and as he passed.
struck a match to light a cigar. An
explosion followed and Chief Lips and
I. H. Holmes, manager of the music
store, sustained painful burns about
the face. The excited person who
caused the explosion escaped without
injury.
The force Of the explosion ripped
baseboards from the walls of the
building but no considerable damage
resulted. The blaze was extinguished
before much damage was done and in
vestigation revealed the cause of the
FIRE as due to defective electric wiring.
Second Explosion Occurs
Chief Lips notified the electric light
and gas companies that their appara-
tus in the building was defective and
required immediate attention. A crew
Of workmen was sent to investigate
and remedy the defect and while in
vestigating Frank Cox and Chris
wuertz, underground linemen, lifted
one Of the manhoIes on First street
near Broadway and as they peered into
the hole another explosion occurred,
blowing off the lids of manholes within
a radius of two blocks.
Cox was severely burned about the
face and body and Wuertz sustained
painful burns. The men were sent to
the receiving hospital for treatment
Cox was later sent to his home, 1924
Romeo street, and Wuertz was sent
to his room at 227 East First street.
Their injuries are more painful than
serious.
Four hours later another alarm was
sent in from the vicinity, the blaze
starting from defective wiring in the
basement of the Houser meat market
at 129 South Main street. This blaze
was extinguished after causing $40
damage

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION
RATES ARE REDUCED
Sweeping Cut Is Made by the Great
Northern Railroad in Eastern
Territory


BY Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 19.-Just as
the movement of the grain crop is
about to begin the Great Northern
railroad today announced a sweeping
reduction in grain rates throughout its
eastern territory, extending to the
boundary of Montana. Three years ago
the road made important reductions in
the western section. The new rates,
1t is claimed, will add millions to the
potential resources of the farmers of
the northwest. The reduction is not
made, 1t is claimed, in pursuance of
any pressure. but as a voluntary act
sharing policy of the road between the
railroad and the tillers of the soil of
the northwest that has been funda-
mental in the management of the Great
Northern"
1.-THE meaning of these reductions to
the farmers OF the northwest is some-
thing more than the winning of a
battle or the signing of some advan-
tageous commercial treaty" said a
prominent railroad official. 1T effects
the entire grain product of the north
west. for the same rates have been
met by the Northern Pacific and must
be met by every other line doing busi-
ness in the same territory and trib-
utary thereto. You cannot tell how
far a movement like this will reach.
1t will mean a saving of more than
100000. 900 bushels to the ordinary mar
kets. This foots up from $2,0OO,OOO to
100000 that will remain in the pock-
cts OF the farmers, of which the Great
Northern will contribute at least one
half"
