Two Men-TeIIs Strange
Story
BY Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Dec. 20.-Mrs. Louise
Carter today began suit for divorce
against two men. admitting that she
married both, but alleging that when
she married the second time she was
convinced that she had been cleared
of her first legal bonds. She married
c. w. Carter in San Francisco in 1894
she says, under the contract marriage
law in force at that time.

gether as man and wife for a period
of five years, she says, and did so,
separating at the expiration of that
time and never living together again.
She married Owen Williams at Daw-
son in 1902, from which time she claims
she has supported herself. She has
started suit in local court asking for
divorce from both Carter and Will

New Haven Theater.

Ellie Fay, in the new musical come dy 'The Belle of Avenue A scored the hit of the season at the New Ha- ven theater last night before crowded house, among which were seen many of New Haven's best known people. The comedy is full of mirth and music fand is worthy all the good things that has been said in it's favor. There is nothing vulgar that occurs all through the three acts, but plenty of innocent fun, lots of good singing and a splendid chorus composed of pretty girls. who are well drilled in both the song and dance features which are splendidly ex- ecuted. Miss Fay, of course, is the star par excellence of the company. Her sudden transformation from the Belle of Avenue A to a Fifth avenue lady causes any amount of comical situa- ttons,, as well as many embarrassing complications that lead to lots of fun at Maggie's expense Her facial ex- pressions are a wonder, and meet with the same hearty reception that her singing of the Bella of Avenue A did. Harry Fields as Solomon Bloom give clever interpretation of the Jew. In fact his efforts to amuse were on a par with that of Miss Fay herself, and his work was repeatedly encored. His rendering of parodies on popular songs also scored a decided hit, and evidently delighted the large audience. Maud Earfs songs were also well received and her rendering of Why Don't You Try" and 1T Would Like to Have a Photograph of You" fairly took the house by storm. Marie Dumont and Billy Kent, as well as the remainder of the cast, ably sustained Miss Fay and all worked together and made, as we said before, a decided hit with the Belle of Avenue A. One word about the stage settings and the dresses: The ball room scene, which opened the sec- ond act. and the garden scene of the third act, are masterpieces of the scenic artists taste, while the gowns of the ladies are gorgeous and most becoming, In short the show is o K and we'll worth visit. The New Haven theater will undoubtedly be crowded at the performance tonight, Saturday mati- nee and evening.

THE AUS DER oHE RECITAL

Pleasing Programme in Woolsey hall
 Last Night-Some Splendid Piano
 Playing.
 A piano recital of unusual interest was that of Miss Aus Der One last night at Woolsey hall. This was the first of the so-called artists recitals which are supplemental to the sym phony orchestra concerts, and are plan ned to extend through the season. If the first is any index of those to come it is 8 pleasure to contemplate what the management has in store. Miss Aus Der One has been a prominent figure among great pianists for a num- Der of years, and has held the position as she made it by sheer ability. Her style is biz and masculine, nd her tone full4blooded and Virile.
 The programme was interesting be- ginning with a severe classic, Bach's fantaste in c minor, and ending with two virtuose pieces of Liszt, tho etude in D fiat and the Tarantelli. Miss Aus Der One played the Tarantelli magnificently with a vigOr, surety of touch and strength of wrist and figure worthy of Hoffman himself. The real gem of the programme was the Chopin B fiat minor sonata, which contains the famous funeral march. This move ment was the least satisfying of the four. It was lacking in contrast and was quite unconvincing. But the big ness of the first movement, the deli cacy and esuavity of the scherzo and the marvellous rapidity and clarity of the finale made up for any little dis appointment in the march. Altogether it was a splendid performance of the sonata.
 Among the smaller pieces were "Le Tambourin" Joy Rameau, 'Le, Rossig- nol en Amour by Couperin, Sclubert's Impromptu in F minor, Schumann's "FabeI" and Brahms waltz. The pi- aniste also played one of her own com positions, a spinning song, in the usu- al vein of spinning songs, but very pretty in effect.
 The audience which was a large one, encored the pianiste most enthusias- tically after the closing Liszb number and were rewarded with the Chopin E minor waltz.
 The next of the artists series of con- certs will be given in the early part of the winter term.

SHAW'S SPEECH
WILL RE FOLLOWED BY RECEP.
 TION AT UNION LEAGUE

Secretary of the Treasury Comes Under
 the Auspices of the Yale Law School
 Political Club, Which Has Brought
 Many Big Men Here.
 The Hon. Leslie N. Shaw, LID, secretary of the treasury, will give an address in Hendrie hall under the aus pices of the Yale Law School Political club, December 15, on Evolution in Government" Alexander Cum- ming, the president of the club, stated to-day that the address will be open to the public.
 Secretary Shaw is a graduate of Cor nell and also of the Iowa College of Law, and is a lawyer and an econo- mist of the first rang. He has long taken an active part in politics, and first gained national prominence as a Mckinley advocate in 1896. He was twice elected governor of Iowa, for the terms of 1S98-19O2, and has been secre- tary of the treasury since 1902. A man well acquainted with all the questions of self-government, his address is sure to be of great interest.
 This is the first of 8 series of public addresses to be given this winter un- der the auspices of the Political club by men of national prominence in the political world.
 Several years ago the Yale Law School Political club was organized among the graduate students and the upper classmen of the Law school, for the study and discussion of problems in law, politics and government: and for their better preparation for full filling their duties as citizens and pub lie servants. The graduates of Yale have always been distinguished for their public spirit and their efficiency in public office; and the club is to be congratulated upon securing men of such distinction to initiate them in the principles and practice of good govern anent.
 Among those who gave public ad- dresses last year under the auspices of the club were Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr. Harvard 1881, lieutenant-governor ot Massachusetts, who has just been elec- ted governor of that commonwealth, and who brought out wildly the rela- tions of the United States with "Our Customers in the Pacific"
 One of the most interesting and ca- pabIe addresses of the year was that delivered by Hon. Carter H. Harrison Yale 1883, who has been many times voted by the students the most popu- lar graduate of the Yale Law school Succeeding his father as mayor of the leading metropolis of the west, through his ten years experience he was sig nally qualified to speak with authority upon the Municipal Problem" and the high ideals and business ability ne- cessary to an effective treatment of 1t, After the address. Secretary Shaw will be rendered a reception at the Un- ion League club by the members of the league and of the Yale Law school Political club. ,s .,...,. ,.... .:.

COMING.

It is decidedly serious question whether any musical comedy has ever harbored so powerful and brilliant a group of recognized entertainers as Gay New York can justly be proud of. This seemingly clever connection of melody and merriment has evidently drawn upon the best specialized facul- ties from the front ranks of meritori- ous talenti order to emphasize it's tre- mendous Berlin success. Among the noteworthy names identified with this popular attraction, those of Dan Mason, Edward B. Adams, Lillian Berlein, Theodore Peters, Blanche Carlyle, Jos. F. Willard, Louise Sanford, Charles E. Foreman, Edward Bremen, and many others familiar to the amusement pub lie are entitled to special prominence, however, to those who have made up their minds to most enjoyable pastime at the Hyperion theater next Tuesday night, there will be more than an or ganization surprise, for this extrava- ganza of fun and tuneful importance which, by the way, is a. translation from the German, with a glorious American record to back twill un- doubtedly startle the natives with novel introductions

ant This he thought would obviate many suits that are now frequently brought for an accounting on the part of policyholder.
 John GiIchrist, in charge of the se- curity department of the Equitable Life Assurance society, told of millions of dollars in loans made at the end of the year in the names of clerks of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, to comply with the law that the surplus should be invested to keep down the cash balances. No col- lateral was held by the Equitable on these loans, and the check which was given for these loans was deposited in the bank and a certificate of deposit received. The check, however, was never cleared, and on the first of the year the check would be taken out and the certificate surrendered. These loans were made at the instance of T.. D. Jordan, former controller of the Equitable.
 The ownership of the Cafe Savarin by the Equitable was taken up, with Daniel M. Junk, secretary and treasur- CT of the cafe company, on the stand. He said none of the management of the cafe received any compensation from the proceeds of the cafe. They were employees of the Equitable Life and were paid by the society.
 Louis M. Bailey, a clerk in the bond and mortgage department of the Equi- table, in whose name trustee account was carried on the books of the soci- ety, said he was asked by MT. Squire to permit the use of his name for this account, but he did not know it's pur- pose. Building operations carried on under his name for the Equitable he could explain only on the ground that an individual could build cheaper than corporation.
