and Go to Divorce Court
Together

MARYSVILLE, O.-There have been
cases or twin brothers marrying twin
sisters. OF course, but probably the
records never showed an instance of
twin brothers suing their twin wives

same court room and on the same day.

place aired their marital woes in Judge
Middleton's court.
Both received their divorce DEGREES.

ful. while the former Mrs. Buckleses
are following the inclinations which led
10 the double splitup in their marital
careers and are appearing with a her

Alvin n Alvi Buckles are so near
alike that it difficult to tel, them apart.

Meet the Twin Sisters
But they did go to one dance at a

the twin sisters, who later became their
wives 1t was a case of love at first
sight on -four sides, and soon after the
courtship began the double wedding
followed. One minister did for both
and one set of bridesmaids and best
men.
After a short honeymoon. on which
10Th couples went together, the two
Buckles families settled down in the
big farmhouse on the twin brothers
farm. n life appeared doubly happy.
But in a short time the brothers saw
that they were not destined to enjoy
the life that they had planned. for
While they were content after their

with their brides. the brides longed
for other forms of amusement. The
Buckles ladies wanted to go to parties.
dances, the theater. and otherwise to
lead more active live than pleased the
brothers.
Twin Sisters go Forever"
In such cases quarrels are sure to
eventuate. and the Buckles families
were no different from others. Per-
haps. even. such quarrels were doubly
violent for there were four people in
them whenever they occurred. At any
rate, one day the aides packed their
twin trunks. deserted the Buckles farm
together and left twin notes saying that
they had one forever. The twin
brothers pulled out their twin handker-
chiefs, sobbed together and-waited.
But the wives eve came back, and
finally the twin brothers did what any
man, twin or single. would have done
they sued for divorce from their twin
wives.
When the cases came up they were
heard together. the evidence was exact

ALiMONY CLUB IS
DEALT HARD BLOW
New York Court Disposes of an Old
Rule Sending Wives to Magistrates

NEW YORK-A decision just rem
dered by h appellate division of the
supreme has an important bear
ing upon the alimony question in
effect condemns an old rule or custom
of h supreme court.
Alexander Weigand. a wealthy
builder of East New York, was sued
for limited divorce on the ground of
cruel treatment.
A short time ago Mrs. Weigand ap-
piled to Justice Scott for alimony and
counsel fee. Justice Scott, following
an old custom of the supreme court.
directed Mrs. Weigand to apply to a
magistrates court for ~pecuniary relief,
and, while allowing her a moderate
counsel fee. refused alimony.
Her counsel appealed to the appel
late division. Justice Laughlin wrote
an opinion, in which all his colleagues
~concurred, declaring that wherever a
wife makes out a fair case for a sepa-
ration or a divorce. or a sufficient de-
tense to such an action, and il is rea-
sonably certain that she will succeed.
there is no propriety in the supreme
courts refusing to exercise its author
ity to make temporary provision for
her support and h support of her
children.

D~ressmaker's Allegation Made Fair

Philadelphia dressmaker, in the Cam

who seemed to be in doubt as to
whether he should be Mortified or
scandalized.
Pads. your honor; pads to fill out
her figure" replied Mrs. Smith, while
women bluShed and Uttered and men
looked foolish.
Mrs. Smith was suing Miss Edith
Newbold to recover $S3 for furnishing
the materials and making a brown vel
vet costume according to Miss New
bold's designs. She further alleged
that although the costume had been
altered four times at the order of Miss
Newbold. the latter refused to accept
IL or pay for 1t.
Blushing deeply and looking steadily
at the floor, Miss Newbold declared
that h did not need pads, and had
never worn them. She claimed fur
Their that the fit of the costume was
imperfect and the workmanship in
feriOr. This contention was supported
by women witnesses, who talked OF
seams and cores and panels and let
ting out" until the court seemed on the
verge of bewilderment, and decision
was reserved.

able boards of guardians to discrim-
mate between the two.
Provision for w~ayfarers, he said was
the only object for which tramp wards
existed. The vagrant was a parasite
on the body polite. He was on the
border line of ~criminality. into which
he often drifted.
Holding that the tramp is a ma
tlonal pauper, and not a p%arochial one.
MIR. Vulliamy maintained that the care
OF him should be transferred from the
guardians to the state, and that there
should be a universal adoption of the
ticket, or passport, system. The tick
cts should be obtainable from the DO
ice anywhere. and should entitle the
bearer to free food and shelter at GER
tain defined places, some 15 or 16 miles
apart on his line of march. This would
deprive the life of a tramp of its chief
charm-that of idle sauntering from
place to place.
A mar entering a tramp ward with
out a ticket should be liable to six
months detention in a prison or farm
colony, to be established by the state.

The couple came to town at s O'Clock In

from town. After waiting in his Office
two hours the woman made Wright hun

Justice Benjamin j. Scholermann was
a new official. and he had no scruples OF

GM THE WORLD OF SPORTS
KELLEY WINS CASE
IN BASEBALL COURT
Boston Champs Forced to Take
Player Drafted by
Mistake

CINCINNATI, O., March 24.-Player
Morton, who last year played with the
Grand Forks team of the Northern
league and later with st. Paul and To-
ledo in the American association. now
belongs TO the Boston American league
club, according to a decision filed today
by the National baseball commission
Morton contended that he had not signed
will Toledo, but was still under contract
to Grand Forks. by which club he was
about to be sold to the Pacific Coast
league. The testimony submitted showed
that when Grand Forks disbanded Morton
signed with st. Paul and was later loaned
by that club to Toledo. Morton's name
was on the st. Paul reserve list and the
draft of the Boston club is declared valid.
According to the above conservative
dispatch the Boston Americans nave won
a signal victory in the baseball court. but
the true facts in the case reveal a base
Dali blunder On the part of the American
leaders that is probably without parallel
In the history of the game. and the de-
ciSlon, instead of being a victory, is just
what the Boston management did not
want.
When the Grand Forks team disbanded
last summer Manager Kelley signed Nor
ton and allowed him to work out for a
few days. Toledo happened along. and
as Kelley had no use for Morton he
loaned him to the Mud Hens. The Boston
American scout had been watching the
work of Dave Martin. and came to the
conclusion hat he was a fast player and
worth a tryout for Boston. Accordingly
the word was sent to Boston to get Mar
tin. Either the scout was a poor PEN
man or the management lost his glasses.
for the first thing Kelley knew Morton
was drafted and the 1915 turned into the
st. Paul treasury.
Kelley couldn't understand what Bos-
ton wanted of Morton, as he Is far from
being championship caliber, and after sat
isfying himself that the 1915 was real
money gave up the puzzle. Then the
Boston scout came out of his trance and
soon the wires were humming informing
Kelley that a great mistake had been
made and that Morton had been drafted
when Martin was the real man wanted
Kelley deplored the mistake. but when
it came to letting go of the 1915 he
shook his head sadly. Boston was out
1915 and had a mediocre player of no
benefit to them.
The Boston management took the case
to the National commission to try to get
their money back, but the commission de-
cided that Morton was fairly drafted and
belongs. to the Boston Americans and
Kelley keeps the 1915.
