AN EXPENSIVE HONEYMOON.
A Colorado Farmer Is "Worked" by
His New Wife for $1,000 and
She Skips Out.

Chicago. Ill.-Mrs. Sophie Wam.
baugh, formerly Sophie Finlen, OF
Denver, Col, who was married in
court last Friday after she had been
arraigned on the charge of obtaining
$4,000 from her prospective husband.
William Wambaugh, disappeared
Monday after obtaining more than
$4,000 from her husband.
Wambaugh reported to the police
that he had gone to a department
store with his wife, and said that he
entered a room to try on pair OF
trousers he had purchased. His wife
induced him to give her all the money
he had, about $4,000, before entering
the room, and said that she would wait
until he came out. He searched the
store for an hour and then reported
the matter to the police.
Wambaugh is farmer in Colorado,
and Friday after his wedding he said
that he and his wife were about to re-
turn there and live on his farm.
Wambaugh told the police that he
had spent more than $4,000 on his wife
since he met her In Denver a week
ago. This amount includes the $4,000
she obtained from him Monday. When
asked why he gave her such a large
sum, Wambaugh replied: well, she
said she wanted to buy hat"

RAN AGAINST A WALL.
Mr.. Jerome Is Unsuccessful in His Ef
forts to Discredt the Testimony
of Harry Thawrs Wife.

New York.-On Monday, the first
day of the states case in re
buttal at the trial of Harry X. Thaw.
District Attorney Jerome came to q
temporary standstill against the prac.
tically solid wall the rules of evidence
have built around the story of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw. Mr.. Jerome began tc
attack this story as soon as court
opened. There ensued a well-nigh
ceaseless battle between the prose.
cutor and Dolphin NJ. Delmas, the lead
ing counsel for the defense, at the end
of which Justice Fitzgerald upheld the
rule laid down at the beginning of The
trial-that young Mrs. Thaw's story
was admissible only as tending tc
show the effect it might have had in
unbalancing the defendants mind and
that its truth or falsity is not material
Nine-tenths of Mondays sessions
were spent in argument and in nearly
every instance when the smoke OF
conflict cleared away Mr.. Delmas had
won his point as to the law, while Mr.
Jerome in the very argument itself
had got before the jury a perfect
knowledge as to what his witnesses
would have testified to had they
been permitted. The district attorney
called ten witnesses during the day
but aside from drawing from the
states eyewitnesses to the tragedy the
opinion that Thaw seemed rational the
night he shot and killed Stanford
White, little real headway was made.

IN COURTEOUS OLD SPAIN.
Traveller Gets Best Idea by Journey

The stranger cannot perhaps more
easily get single glimpse of the true
and ancient Spain than by acquiring
the habit of travelling third class. The,
seats, indeed, are hard, but the com
pany is usually excellent, charming in
it's manners, and not offensive to any
sense. Here a constant series of novel
pictures is presented to the traveller.

girls on their way to festival, pack

packages; some, the more sedate
among them, wear mantillas, some
bright handkerchiefs on their heads,

however they are dressed, to what
ever class they belong, they are alli
clean and sweet.

produces so often; and pretty, bare

POLICEINEFFIClENT
RIOT REleNs AS A RESULT OF
LOUISVILLE STREET CAR
STRIKE.
FEEBLE ATTEMPTS TO RUN CARS
ARE FRUSTRATED BY SYMPA-
TIMERS WITH STRIKERS.

Louisville, Ky. - Violence result
! Ing in injury to a dozen persons
and a feeble and spasmodic operation
of 100 out of the usual 600 cars for a
few hours under inadequate police
protection Monday marked the second
day of the strike of the union EN-.
ployes of the Louisville Railway Co.
Few of the cars operated were
patronized, and q number we're stoned.
AS a general thing, the crowds that
| thronged the streets near the car
barns drove the crews off the cars by
merely surging forward and ordering
the men away.
At 1 o'clock Monday afternoon at
tempts to maintain service within the
city limits were abandoned and three
hours later the suburban lines were
also given up, but the interurban
service to Indiana was not interfered
with. In addition to the great incon-
venience to people living in Louisville,
there were last night about 1900 sub.
urbanites spending the night in Louis.

Clashes between the strikers and
their sympathiZers on one side and
the police and strike breakers on
the other were numerous during the
! day. A charge of iusubordination
| against several policemen was made
! by Police Captain Jacobs during the
day. Capt. Jacobs. who with a detail
of 90 men was stationed at the car
barns at Fourth and Avery streets,
called Chief Guenther to the scene
during the morning with the report
that his men could not or would not
make arrests of men as directed and
that the captain himself had made
most of the arrests at that. point
Chief Guenther took charge of the
situation there and remained for sew.
eral hours.
Later in the day the scenes of turbu
lence were brought nearer the city
and later in the day the down town
streets were congested with strikers
and their sympathizers, who hooted
and Jeered at the few cars which were
run. Only a half dozen cars ran dur
ing the late afternoon and these were
guarded by two policemen on each
platform and several inside.
