DEAR LITTLE GIRL
LETTERS FIGURE
IN DIVORCE CASE
MIsslvEs RECEIVED ~ MRS.
ELLIS FROM STEAMER OFFICER
OFFERED IN EvIpENcE-Hus-
BAND TELLS HIS STORY.

The contested divorce case of Lii
Han vs.. Frederick Ellis was continued
before Judge Mandell Friday morning
and the pretty plaintiff was on the
stand for cross-examination most of
the morning.
number Of letters received by
Mrs. Ellis from an ofacer on the
steamer on which she returned from
England two years ago. were intro.
duced as evidence. and several OF them
wore read. These letters fell into the
hands Of Mr.. Ellis and were the final
cause Of their breakup, although tho
couple made up and lived together for
q week following the discovery OF the
epistles.
The of1cer addressed Mrs. Ellis az
MY Dear Little Girl" and at inter
walls throughout the letter appeared
such sentences as these: These have
been long. long. lonesome days since
you left." Il hope you are happier than
I am" and Il have not eaten since the
luncheon we had together
Mrs. Ellis evidently informed her
sailor friend OF her domestic troubles,
because In one letter he tells her that
II she has to leave home, TO return to
England, where he will provide a
home for her. where he can visit her
and where your honor will be as sa.
cred to me as to yourself"
Letters written by Mrs. Ellis to her
husband while she was visiting In
England were also read. In these let
ters the wife told of her happiness at
being able to visit her old home, and
thanks her husband for making 1t pos
sible to visit the old country. She
tells him Of her love for him, and
refers to him as prince.
The last letter she wrote before
leaving England was different In tone
from the others, and In 1t she ex-
pressed fear that she will be discon-
tented at being compelled to settle
down after the good time she has had.
She pleads with her husband to be
patient with her and promises to be
as good as she can be.
The husband took the stand in his
own defense shortly before court ad-
journed. He blamed his wife for most
OF their trouble, alleging that she was
always disconnected that she could
not travel more. and have a better
time. He charged her with having an
ungovernable temper, and with pun
ishing their baby unnecessarily. He
told Of a scene when she threw a
bowl at him, and attempted to take
the pictures from the wall to throw
at him, and he said he was compelled
to hold her to save the works OF art.
He denied his wife's charge that his
people interfered with them, and said
that they did everything possible to
help them get along. Before they
were married he said they took his
wife into their home for a week when
she was Ill. and they did not object to
the marriage.
The hearing will be resumed on
Monday.

We favor an immediate re-

list.
We favor an income tax -
and a national inheritance tax
TO reach the swollen fortunes
already In existence.
Both nation and states should
ASCERTAIN present value of rail-
roads. measured by cost Of re-
production; prohibit issus of
any more watered stock or dctt-
tious capitalization: prohibit
railroads from engaging In any
business which brings them In
competition with their ship
pers. and reduce transportation
rates to a point where they will
yield a reasonable return on
the present value OF the roads.
Emergency currency should
be issued and controlled by the
federal government.
We favor such a modification
Of the law relating to injunc-
tons as will. first, prevent the
issuing OF the writ In industrial
disputes except after notice to
defendants: second. permit trial
before a Judge other than the
one who issued the writ, and.
third, allow a Jury to be sum-
