PARIS, Oct. 31.-The hearing of
Countess Castellane's divorce began
today.
Maitre Cruppy, representing the
countess, declared frequently the
count struck and slapped his wife
during frequent Quarrels caused by mis-
demands for money. Other startling
revelations are expected during the
progress of the trial which will be SEN
sational in the extreme.
The plaintiff demands an absolurs
divorce and the custody of the chill
dren. She said her trouble and cruel
treatment by "Boni'' commenced three
months after her marriage.
Cruppy stated it is the intention of
the countess to remain in France af-
ter the divorce and raise her children
here.
Had Many Women.
Cruppy alleged eleven cases Of in
fidelity on the part Of "BOni' and said
the count had five places for meeting
women.

Will Not Fire Heister.
Mr.. Kan reiterated this morning his
determination not to discharge Heis-
ter It is believed that in the face Of
the exposure of the attempts of the
saloon men to get Heisters scalp, that
no further effort will be made to press
the demands.
Indignation does not express the SEN
timent which exists among union men
over the action of the saloon men and
the republican leaders are alarmed
lest the exposures will seriously ef-
feet several candidates on the republi-
can ticket.
The fact that ]. H. Pedigo, the ac-
knowledged representative of the An
keny forces, took occasion to accom-
pany Dryden to the Union office to fix
up defense in the Hester affair
lends color to the statement that the
republican leaders are alarmed.
Here Is Foundation.
When it became known to the Trades
and Labor Council that the saloon
men were attempting to place the re-
sponsibility of the Schiffner endorse
ment On President Heister, the legis-
lative committee Of the council met
and addressed letter to Albert Nei-
bergall, secretary of the Liquor Deal
ers' association which is reproduced
another column. The legislative COM
mittee met Sunday. Also in another
column is statement from President
Hester.
These assuredly show there is foun-
dation for the accusations made.

Mr.. Kan denied this morning that
either Dryden or Kremer called at his
place of business, but that all their
conversations took place in the two sa-

Kan admitted the two saloonmen had
said that if they were in his place
they would discharge Heister and, in
the heat of the argument, made
threat to boycott him by declaring that
if certain things did not come about
they would not feel in duty bound to
