MAUDE FEALY SUES.
Romance for Denver Actress Is Short
Lived

Denver, Sept. 30.-Just as secretly
as Maude Fealy, ''Denver's own ac-
tress, was married to Lewis Hugo
Sherwin, a dramatic critic, July Is,
1907-quite as quietly has she been
divorced. The grounds upon which
the complaint was brought are nom
inal, it being matter of history that
ever since the marriage, Mrs. Margaret
Lealy Cavallo, mother of the actress,
has been doing her best to keep the
young couple apart. When Maude
Fealy broke the news to her mother,
two weeks after her marriage, Mrs.
Cavallo went into Mysteries and upon
first seeing her son-in-law. called him
a scoundre1 and chased him from the
house.
RaffaeIo Cavallo, the orchestra lead
er and stepfather of Maude Fealy was
equally indignant, and he was quoted
as saying that "Sherwin could not keep
Maude in gloves-that he could not
buy his own cigars or pay for his
laundry"
Sherwin is now in New York At
the time of his marriage he was a
dramatic critic in Denver. He met
Miss Fea1y while she was summering
here and at once paid ardent court to
her. He is % years old and the son
of Hugo Gorlitz, a man recognized in
musical circles. At one time the faith
er was manager for Paderewski and
later for Jan Kubelik. Sherwin's
mother, Mem. Amy Sherwin, is a cele-
brated prima donna, who has gained
fame in this country and abroad.

JACKSON DlSAGREES.
Criticises Burrow Interview on Okla
homa Bank Failure.

Attorney General Jackson did not
agree with the State Journal interview
with J. R. Burrow yesterday in which
the latter stated that the cause of the
failure in Oklahoma City was due to
the matter this morning Mr.. Jackson
said:
'I can hardly see how they have it
figured out that it was through the
points of the Oklahoma guaranty law
that the Columbia Bank and Trust COM
pany failed. 1t is true that the growth
of the bank was marvellous but If l am
not mistaken there have been banks in
Kansas City which have done the same
thing. And then I notice that the state
is now taking care of the depositors.
No, 1 cannot agree that the state
guaranty law of Oklahoma will give the
people of Kansas a perfect reason to
fight the measures"
When asked about the condition of
the Oklahoma law and the decision that
is now pending in the United States su-
preme court, the attorney general said:
IF the United States supreme court
decides that the Oklahoma law is valid
il will naturally show that our law in
this state is perfectly right and good.
the law null and void 1t will not neces-
sarily mean that we will give u the
fight The Oklahoma law is compul-
sorry and the Kansas law is voluntary
Thus it seems that there can be moth
ing but good come from the decision
of the United States sureme court.
The attorney general is now busily
engaged in preparing briefs in the guar
anty case.

1t was neat and unexpected squeeze

and there were evidences of nervous

Patten, leader of the recent big May

Shorts are estimated to have bought
between 100000 and 100000 bushels at
the inflated prices. No one interest was

ton of the time limit. this being the
last day on which deliveries could be

concentration of the bulk of the con-
