MARRIAGE A FAILURE.
With All of Those Who Took Part In
This Divorce Suit.

Chicago. Dec. 23.-Judge Carpen-
ter granted legal separation to Mrs
Antonio Uhlir from Joseph Uhlir. on
the ground of cruelty, but made her
sign waiver to all claims for ali
mony and relinquish her dover rights
in his property. Uhlir Is sixty four
years old and the woman sixty-two.
IL was the third matrimonial vent
ure for both, and the woman's sec
ond husband, John CerveDy, was one
of the principal witnesses against
her. She was Cerveny's second wife,
and while he was disguised with
that match. he, according to a state
ment made TO Mrs. Uhlir's attorney
proposed marriage to one of the Wit
nesses, who herself is a grass wild
ow." This woman, whose first hus-
band is dead. asked the lawyer what
he thought about II. and he advised
both to sit down and not again go
out to dinner together. Nearly every
witness called had been married two
or three times.
Strangely enough. Mrs. Uhlir
sought and secured the right to
take the name of her first husband
Albert Sotek, the only one of the
trio she buried.

Nashville Saloon Tests Segregation
Act-Injunction Refused Case
Taken to Supreme Court.
AGAINST PROHIBITION LAW.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 23.-Accordinh
Ito a we'll defined rumor the brewers
lof Georgia have a plan to prevent the
prohibition law from going into ef-
feet on January 1. by injunction pro-
|ceedings in the United States court.
and 1t is reported that attorneys will
leave Monday from Atlanta for New
Orleans to ask Judge Don A. Pardee
of the United States circuit court for
an injunction restraining the enforce
ment of the law until the question
of its constitutionality can be deter
mined.
That the brewers of the state have
had some card they proposed playing
before the last minute has long been
the belief of those who are keeping
posted on the prohibition question. In
stead of making arrangements to
move their extensive plants to points
outside the state, most of the brewery
owners have done nothing except. as
In the case OF the Atlanta Brewing
and Ice company. TO expend money
the plant.
II is said the brewers claim the
law is unconstitutional because It
takes away property without due pro-
cess of law and because the state
chartered the concerns to do business
and then passed a law prohibiting the
business.

MANY ANXIOUS TO
GET IN THE NAVY
Rush Of Enlistnents Since De-
cision to Transfer Fleet to
the Pacific.
By. .WALTER EDWARD IIAI,R1s.

BY WALTER EDWARD HARRIS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 19.-The
decision to send the Atlantic fleet to
the Pacific has demonstrated that IL
the United States should become en-
gagged in a war tho Navy Department
would find it impossible to make
room on our fighting machines for
the thousands Of young Americans
who would be scrambling for places.
The decision to transfer the fleet has
caused such q rush Of enlistedments
that it is assured that every one Of
the sixteen battleshlps and two cruis-
ers OF the squadron Will have Its full
complement OF men long before SAIL
ing time. Many young men are writ
Ing directly to the department asking
for information With view to enlist
Ing for service in the navy. IT Is a
noticeable fact that nearly all OF them
mention that they propose to enlist
because there Is prospect Of trouble
with Japan. Many ask Tor information
concerning the situation, saying they
will enlist If assured there is like
lihood Of fight.
It was remarked at the department
that every man who had seen any SER
vice anoat during the war with Spain
wanted to re-enlist now, or would want
to do so In case tho prospect for war
was good. This r,fers 10 thusa WHO

There was no Christian father by

of contempt originally. Just as Othello

that the proposition had never been

Metcalf Let Cat Out.

1t looks like there is q lack OF close
organization in the department. which
Bureau Of Navigation. for instance. has
to take chances with the public in se-
curing Information regarding tho inten-
tons, Of the President and the general

Secretary Of the Navy told his fellow

20 be brought around for their benefit.
THIS was the first 1ntimation the otii-
Gals under him had of tho intention to
transfer the war-ships.
It is as yet impossible to ascertain
who determined on the policy OF send
ing a fleet to the Pacific. whether the
President or the general board. The
lletter determines all matters Of gen
eral policy of an important character,
although the President, in all cases,
has the last word.
