ASKS SECOND DIVORCE
Grace Guggenheim Marries Another
Man Between Times.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Application for
counsel fees and alimony in the su-
preme court here today disclosed the
fact that Grace B. Guggenheim had
brought a suit for divorce a second
time against William A Guggenheim,
one of the seven brothers of that name
who are prominent in the smelling in
dustry.
The first divorce was obtained in IL
linois about eight years ago and coun-
sci for the plaintiff in the present suit
argued before Justice Gerard today that
the decree was Illegal because Mrs.
lGuggenheim' three visits of two days
each to the city of Chicago at that time
for the purpose of getting the decree did
not constitute permanent residence.
This is ostensibly an action for an
absolute divorce" declared counsel for
Mr.. Guggenheim in replying, "but in re-
ality it is an action of an entirely diff
ferent character. We put $150000 into
the hands of the lady seven years ago
and now it is all gone. We are not ac-
countable for the distress in which she
says she is in"
Since the first divorce both Mr.. Gug-
genheim and his former wife have mar
ried, but the marriage of Grace B. Gug-
genheim to a young Frenchman was
annulIed by the French courts in May,
1908. Argument on the plaintiffs ap-
plication for alimony and counsel fees
was postponed until Monday

IRRIGATION EXPENSIVE.
Settlers Given Twenty Years to Make
Annual Payments Rather Than Ten.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-The fact that
irrigation works have generally proved
to be more expensive than estimated,
with the attendant increase in the bur-
den of annual payments required of
entrymeR undtd the act of July 1 Z,
1902, has caused Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, to introduce a bill
providing that such payments shall be
made in twenty instead of ten annual
installments. In North Dakota the
installments required under the pres
ent law are as high as $3.50 per acre,
so that an entryman with forty acres
is obliged to pay about 5000 annually
while as a rule he does not obtain ir-
rigation for more than half of his
land.
When the irrigation works were
projected, it was not supposed the
charge would be so great. and it was
expected the result would be to give
ample water for all OF the land in
Volved in the project.
North and South Dakota, Arizona,
New Mexico, Idaho, Colorado, Mon
tana and Utah are all affected by the
proposed legislation, which is now be-
fore the senate committee on irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands for con-

IN MEMORY OF POE.
DIR. GunsauIus Speaks at the Poets
Centennial Anniversary.

Chicago, Jan. 1s.-The one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan
Poe was commemorated by DR.. E. w.
Gunsaulus, who praised the brilliancy
of the poets mind, but deprecated the
pagan tone of his literary productions.
Among other things he said:
Edgar Allan Poe is a name tnat
ought to have been the greatest name
in American literature, one OF the
mightiest personalities God ever launch
ed upon this planet, for he was a soul
so divinely endowed, so richly equipped
mat he moves like a medieval captain
of romance in all our thought
I'VE shall have nothing perhaps IN all
the history of our American literature
that will be at once so unearthly anu
VET SO undivine as the pure pagan out
look of Poe. He lacked the serious con-
science. the unmoved conviction that
life is something with divine invest
rnent and with a divine outlook. Poe
had no interest in making this world
any better

ONLY A REFER LEFT.
OF vessel and Crew Wrecked on
Long Island Coast

New York. Jan. 1s.-Although life
savers worked practically all night and
resumed their endeavors early today,
sailors REFER. which was cast up
about a quarter of a mile down the
coast from the scene of the wreck, was
the only trace found of the crew of the
Inflated little fishing schooner Swal-
low. of st. Johns, n. F., which was
driven into the breakers OF Long
Island and torn to pieces during the
storm which ragged Saturday night.
The victims, thought to be twelve in
number, consequently are as yet un-
named and the story of the disaster
will probably never be told. as there
appears to be little doubt that every
man on board perished. AS there are
two schooners registered under the
name of Swallow, there was additional
mystery when the wreck was first dis
covered. but investigation seems to
ascertain definitely that it was the lit
tie two masted fishing boat from New
foundIand. Life savers will continue
their vigil along the beach throughout
the day, hoping that some bodies may
be washed ashore.
