Woman. Gets Sixth Divorce.

Los Angeles, July 2S.-Mrs. Grace
Smell Coffin-Walke err Coffin-Layman-
Love became the champion divorce
of the world when Judge James
granted her a decree from her latest
husband, Hugh M. Love, secretary
of the Board of Health. She charged
that he choked and treated her in a
brutal manner and refused to pay
the bills. Once, when she was giving
a musicale, she testified, Love ap-
peared in pink pajamas and bath
robe, took seat among the guests,
put his feet on top of a chair and
smoked his pipe. The ladies and
gentlemen guests folded up their
music and left.
Mrs. Love was formerly Miss
Grace Smell, daughter of Amos j.
Smell, the Chicago millionaire bank
er, whose murder became a National
mystery. Her martial experiences
have attracted equally wide atten-
ton. Mrs. Love possesses a fortune.
There are rumors of another ap-
preaching marriage.

Governor Toole Under Charges.

Great Falls, Mont, July 28.-On
account of charges made in connec
ton with state timber land in the
Flathead Valley district, an investi
cation has been in progress at Kalis-
pei before Governor Norris, the Land
Board and Ex-Governor Toole, who
was a member of the board when
the sales under investigation were
made. The charges are to the effect
that the commission favored the big
land companies by selling to them
through dummies valuable timber
land for less than they were worth.
Several witnesses testified that dunn
my names were used.
The charges involve Ex-Governor
Toole, Attorney General Galen and
others. F. H. Prodger asserted on
the stand that Superintendent Nc
Crea, of the Northwestern Lumber
Company had told him that the rea-
son certain patents had been held up
was because members of the state
board could not agree on a division
of the Doodle; that Governor Toole
insisted ION having twice as much
as any other member"
Mr.. Toole emphatically denied the
charges made by Prodger, as did Mr..
Galen, Secretary of State Yoder and
Superintendent Harmon. Mr.. Mo
Crea also denied having made any
such remark to Prodgsr,

DUTCH WARSHIP
AFTER VENEZUELA
CASTRO'S CONSUL AT WILLENI-
STAD ESCAPES UNDER
GUARD.
Mob Attempting to Lynch Him Re-
PEELED by Troops and the
Dutch City Is Quiet.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao,
July 2S.-The serious nature of the
situation that has arisen between
The Netherlands and Venezuela was
emphasized today by the issuance of
orders to the Dutch cruiser Colder
land to proceed at once to Venezuela
to protect Dutch interests there. The
Gelderland arrived here with J. de
Reus, the Netherlands Minister resi-
dent at Caracas, who was dismissed
from Venezuela by President Castro,
on board. M. de Reus boarded the
ship at Porto Cabello. 1t was only
a few hours after the cruisers ar
rival that the order for an imme-
date return to Venezuela was re-
ceived. The departure of the Ven
szuelan Consul has resulted in a ces-
sation of relations which grew out
of an anti-Venezuelan demonstration
here Saturday and Sunday. The city
Is calm now, and the troops, which
were patrOlling the streets, have
been taken to their barracks.
Great joy was manifested by the
population when it became known
that the Venezuelan consul, Senior
Lopez, had taken passage for Porto
Cabello on the steamer that arrived
at o'clock this morning, and the
consul boarded her and proceeded
for Venezuela.
AS Consul Lopez was going from
his residence at noon to the consul
ate, escorted by armed troops, to re-
move the official papers, the mob
nearly caught him, but he was saved
by the arrival of more troops. This
afternoon the consul's wife and chill
dren were escorted to their steamer.
They were not molested.

scene changed to the French court at
Fontainebleau and Louvre, where
Champlain was commissioned to set
out for Quebec. The court scenes
were given by upwards of 1900 cour-
tiers and court ladies, drawn from
the leading families, and several
hundred horses. with the open plain
forming the stage on which this
army of players appeared.
The final scenes showed the armies
of Wolfe and Montcalm, in numbers
almost equaling the original armies,
marching side by side in a parade
of honor.

ton with much interest.

Grosscup Calls Decision Final.

Washington, d. C.-The President
in commenting on the Standard Oil
decision said:
There is absolutely no question
of the guilt of the defendants or of
the exceptionally grave character of
the offense. 1t would be a gross
miscarriage of justice, if through
technicalities the defendant escaped
the punishment which would unques-
tionably have been melted out to any
weaker defendant who had been
guilty of such offense."
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of Chi
cago, one of the three judges who
reversed the action of Judge Lands
in filming the Standard Oil Company
$29, 100000, declared that the de-
cision of the Circuit Court of APP
peals was practically final. The judge
then said that neither the Attorney
General nor any one else had any
right to demand retrial OF the
case. Continuing he said:
"All that can be done Is to apply
to the United States Supreme Court
for permission to reopen the case. 1t
Is not meet that | should enter into a
discussion with the President. The
President comes into court with no
greater and no less privilege than is
accorded to any other private citizen.
His powers are simply those of any
defeated litiganI."
