EIGHT JUMPED INTO THE SEA.
Motor Boat Stranded and Tcok Fire
 Near Great Chebeague Island.

Motor Boat Stranded and Tcok Fire
 Near Great Chebeague Island.
 PORTLAND, Me, July 31-Deinite information of the narrow escape of drowning of three young men and five young women, residents of Great Che. beague Island, and the destruction by fire of a motor boat from which they were obliged to jump into the bay has been received here.
 The party, consisting of Cyrus Calder, owner of the launch; Augustus Kicker, George Anderson. Carrie E. Morse, Mary Ross and Ethel, Marie and Cyn- thia Hatfield. became stranded late Saturday night on submerged ledge. A lantern on the boat was overturned and set fire to the gasoline which fur nished the motive power.
 So quickly did the flames spread that all were forced to jump overheard. The men and three of the girls were able to swim. They assisted the other two girls, who sank beneath the surface once or twice, and all finally reached Rogue island, about 300 feet distance, in an exhausted condition. Their shouts for help were heard at Great Chebeague, and they were soon taken to that island in dory.

adopted in 1898, but Salvador showed dissatisfaction, the union was dis solved just a month after the adoption of the constitution.
 At the time of the organization of the Republic of the United States of Central America that territory had been for some IS months past DOT tion of Mexico. The captain-general- cy of Guatemala, which included all of Central America, in 1921 had de- clared itself independent and in 1922 was united to the Mexican Empire of Iturbide. Iturbide fell from power very shortly. and shortly Central America was standing alone.
 Central America and Mexico had suffered alike from the Spanish op- pressor. To go far back, to the early part of the sixteenth century. to the day when the Spanish finished their subjugation of Mexico. we find them characteristically greedy for added conquests. Hearing of the wealth and beauty of the lands beyond, the conqueror marched to the southward, swept with fire and sword over Guate mala. For 300 years Spain held sway.
 To-day the name Guatemala repre- sents but one of a group of Central American governments. The presi- dent of Guatemala is Don Manuel Estrada Cabrera, who has held the reins since 1899. President Cabrera has held his place by force of arms, and his so-called czar-like rule is con- sidered cause of the present troubles.
 Guatemala is largest and most i'm portant of the five republics that form the Central American states. It boasts about half the total population, leads in extent of domestic and for eign commerce. It has a frontage of 200 miles on the Pacific and of 70 miles on the Caribbean sea. Like Sal vador it suffers from volcanic erup tions and severe earthquake shocks. city and plantation laid waste. In the low, hot, feyer-infested regions the white man cannot settle, but dfuOLlk lut NAAIAN oAN hNoAeAA full temperate regions, high cool pla- teaus. Tn 1903 the population was I.s42, 900: about 60 per cent pure In- dians. most of the remainder half- castes. Guatemala by favorable legis- iation has endeayored to attract i'm migration. but the foreign population is only 12.0O0.

There are also numbers of geysers and hot springs in the little land. It, too. has its temperate lands." the noun. tain valleys and table lands are of great fertility, here the richest agri. cultural region of Central America. Everywhere in the republic between attitudes 1.500 and 4.o00 feet coffee is grown; 1t is by far the most impor- tant crop. Indigo is valuable prod uct. the government by means of an export bounty is encouraging cotton growing. The census of 1901 gave the population of Salvador as 1000, 900. The capital is San Salvador, with . population of about 60,000.
 N. H. Castle. writing in the Over. land Monthly of a journey to Guate- mala, has this to say about the so- called bloodless revolution of this portion of Latin-America: We are apt to characterize these Central American emsetes (upheavals) as opera bouffe affairs and to underes- timate their sanguinary character; but have listened to the accounts of participants and spectators. have seen photographs taken on the spot and at the time, I have seen the walls riddled with shot marks. |.

Sudden 1y it came and carried all before 1t; it's path deluged with blood-the blood of its supporters and the blood of its op- ponents Its success was phenomenal, and then as suddenly as it arose. seem ingly without rhyme or reason, 1t was a thing of the past Treachery. sale, incompetence was charged. but the old regime was reestablished, and its thousand-andodd victims gone to swell the roll of the millions who have fruitlessly perished in times gone by and of the millions who will fruitlessly perish in times to come"

COREYDIVORCED
Wife Obtains Decree From
 Reno (Nev.) Courts.
'iClRL SCORES NEW YORK'S RICH MEN
Miss Addie Corey Said Steel Mngnate Was Not Fit Person to Have Charge of Young Allan,
 Ills Own Son.

< RENO, Nev., July 31.-Mrs. William Ellis Corey, wife of the president of the United States Steel corporation, has been awarded divorce in the Second district court of Nevada. The case was submitted without argument, and the jury took but one ballot.
 Mrs. Corey was ill tears when told that she had been given decree and tine custody of her siXteen-year-old son, Allan Corey. No evidence was sub- mitted by the defense, and there was no argument.
 Mrs. Corey was not questioned as to q money settlement, but it is under stood that she received an even $1,000.- GOO, with generous provision for her son.
 It is understood that Corey shortly will wed New York woman, whose standing in society will enable him to gratify his larger social aspirations.
 T am resident of Reno, Nev.," said Mrs. Corey when placed on the stand, land the wife of William Ellis Corey, the defendant in this action. We were married on Dec 1. 1883, at Pittsburg, Pa, and lived together until May 1, 1905. At that time my husband de serted me and went to New York. l followed him and held conversation with him in the Hotel Lorraine. It was there that he told me that he had decid- cd to live apart.
 He said that it was impossible for us to live happily together and that l would never see him again. He stated that he intended going to Europe for several months. There was no scene. talked with him about the matter and urged him to again resume his place in eur home, but he refused. have nev- sr seen him since"
 Mss Addie Corey, sister-in-law of the respondent, was an interesting wit ness. She corroborated Mrs. Corey's statement that Corey had deserted his wife and told how she and her aged mother had made several intellectual at tempts to effect a reconciliation.
 Her brother, she said, had lost sight of his home, being absorbed in busi- ness and infatuated with the fast life of New York.
 Do you consider Mir. Corey prop CT custodian for his sony" she was asked.
 T do not" she replied.
 Why"
 "For the reason" she said, ''that he is not a proper person for his son to associate with. He has no home, and his associates are not fit companions for young man of Allan's age. I do not think any New York man is fit to have charge of boy of his age"
 Do you mean all New York men, Miss Corey?" continued the attorney.
 T mean wealthy New York men,"
 Allan Corey, the young son, stated that at the time of the parting his fa- ther called him to his office and told him that he had decided to part from his mother. He said was too young to understand the reasons. He then said that my mother was a good wo- man and that my place was at her side"
 At the conclusion of the trial Attor- ney Sardis Summerfield of Reno stat ed his client, William E. Corey, who was not present, was as anxious for the decree of divorce as his wife. ''If the decree is granted" he said. Mfr. Corey will be entirely satisfied. He has consented to this divorce"
