Sioux Falls. s. D.. Nov. 3.-As q
result OF the election in South Da-
kota today this state will very likely
lose the lucrative patronage OF the
matrimonial misfits who for soms
years have flocked here in large
numbers to obtain quick divorces.
The voters today are passing upon a
law submitted to them under the in
itiative and referendum, providing
that divorce shall not be granted to
any person married outside the state
who has not resided in South Dakota
for one year. Heretofore only six
months residence has been required
OF the $50 divorces granted in
South Dakota last year, 364 were to
non-residents. every one of whom
came here for the purpose OF a d.
vorce. OF the total number, 1874
were issued in Sioux Falls, the chief
divorce center. The enactment of the
proposed law is expected to reduce
the number OF divorces in South Da-
kota to less than 200 a year.
Another change that will be made
by the new measures. II approved, Is
to require hearing of divorce cases at
regular terms Of court. Heretofore
the judges have been very accomo-
dating, listening in chambers almost
any time to the complaints of those
desiring severance of the matr-
mOnial ties.
II the measure is approved by the
voters 1t will come into effect on De-
cember 3, on which date the state
canvssing board will meet to official
ly announce the results of the elec-
tiOn.

First Brewery Established in Cal.
cutta. India,

The following information con.
corning the establishment of a brew
cry in Calcutta, and it's Anticipated
effect on beer imports, is furnished,
by Consul General William H.
Michael OF that metropolis of India
Calcutta has a brewery about
ready to place its product on the
market. This is the first venture of
the kind in this city. It will use
filtered Hooghley river water and
will make several brands of beer,
The brand called "Pilsener" will re-
tail at $1.16 per dozen, which is a
big reduction on former prices Of
imported "Pi1sener" beer.
The capacity of the brewery is.
from 10000 to $1,000 gallons per
month. The material sused are malt
and Kentish hops. The beers to be
produced are stout, ale, Pilsener and
Munich. The process used is one es-
necisllv adapted to hot climates, the
fermentation being performed by,
means Of special type of BARN that
works at very high temperatures
compared with ordinary yeasts. This
greatly facilitates the production Of
beers In a tropical climate, as 1t does,
away with the necessity of using a.
high rower refrigerating machine,
that would be necessary If ordinary
German or English yeast were en-
ployed. 1t is found necessary to ar
tificially cook the beer only just be-
fore it is racked into cask or bottled,
instead Of keeping It cold during the
whole period Of fermentation, which,
with large beers brewed on the Ger
man system. comprises a period Of
six to 10 weeks. The brewing ma
chinery is all of the latest type and
the whole brewery Is built on the
most modern principles. The ice ma
chine used for finishing the beers
Ia only a three-ton capacity, but 1t
is climed that. starting with tenn
perature of IS degrees, it is posi-
bic to reduce the temperature of the
rcfrigerating medium - degrees be-
low the freezing point within four
hours.
II this brewery accomp1ishes all IL
sets out to d. 1t will revolutionize
the beer trade of India and leave
little demand for foreign-made beers.

WIFE TRYING

MRS. HAMS ACCUSED OF TRYING

FATHER OF HER CHILDREN
HIS BROTHER EXPLAINS 1T.

New York, Nov. at. Jenkins
Haines, accused with hi brother.
with the murder of William Annis,
has issued a signed statement de-
Tending their position and bitterly
assailing Mrs. Cludia Libbey Hins,
his brothers wife, and her attorney,
for trying to poison the public mind
against the prisoners. He dismisses
his bfG:her's wife with one bitter
allusiep,
There can be little said in regard
to a woman who is trying to hang
her husband, the father of her chill
dren-the poor, broken-hearted hus-
band who went mad and killed her
lover
Hams defends his own part in the
\. tragedy in strong terms, He ridi-
cules the reports which have pictur-
ed him as seafaring bully and
bleach comber."
"Of course" he says, lit is use
less to deny that l am amazed at be-
ing put in Jail to be tried for muir

derful description CT myself given
out by Mrs. Hams attorney. After

York, l find / am described as a
'man-eater, a beach comber,' and
other pretty things. all instigated
by this attorney who told me short
time ago that he would wade
through blood to gain his ends.
His desperate effort to fasten ev-
cry crime known In criminal history
upon me at first amazed me. Then.
when the grand jury, whose foreman
was lifelong friend Of the Annis
family. indicted me, the affair be-
came serious.
my friends are astonished at the
turn Of affairs and are lost in won
der at the depths OF crime which may
be committed by desperate attor-
ney under the name Of the law. I
am painted the black sheep of my
family and accused Of the most i'm
possible things"
Hams describes his brothers
breaking down after the alleged con-
fession Of Mrs. Hams, which the writ
or says was made In cold-blooded
unconcerned manner to Gen. Hams,
Capt. Hams and himself. He tells
OF taking care Of his brother during
the months that followed.
