Brandenburg has been forced to admit
that Mrs. Cabanne of st. Louis was
not legally his wife. but he commended
she was his soul mate. Brandenburg
said she secured a divorce in Decem-
Der, 1906, in British Honduras. His at
tention was called to his former state
ment to the effect that he had married
her in October, 1906 and the discrepan-
cy unnerved him.
"I will admit" he~said that we are
not legally married under laws of the
United States / wifi admit we have
no legal standing in the United States
as man and wife. but morally we're
man and wife. I went to British Hon
duras with Mrs. Cabanne in December
of 1906. and While we were there she
secured her divorce and we fixed up
the entire matter. am devoted to her
and she is to me-
What were the circumstances sur
rounding your marriage to Mrs. Ca
banne IN British Honduras?"
II do not want to discuss that mat
ter any further at this time" was his
reply. II do not want to give the date
or the place, because those are facts
which might be used against me to
prejudice my fight at the present time. :"
ST. Louis, April 26.-"James Shepard
Cabanne, Jr., is en- route to San Fran
cisco to get his little son. and we ex-
pect him to return here with the child
without trouble" said William H. cfop-
ton, Cabanne's attorney here. Il know
nothing to affirm or deny the reported
statement by Broughton Brandenburg
that he and Mrs Cabanne were never
married, but were only soul mates I"
Clopton says Cabannes suit for di-
vorce is still pending here; that he
does not know her present where
abouts, but still believes she was here
when Cabanne's son disappeared from
the home of Mrs. Julie C. Cabanne here.
The latter begged to be excused from
giving an interview to the press.
None of the Cabanne family nor their
attorney have ever said the boy was

VICTORY FOR LABOR
Three Hundred New York Clothing

Pants Makers With Wage Increase.

Not for years have the clothing
trades in Greater New York won
such notable victory as that
achieved by the pants workers and
knee pants workers after a desper-

decisive or complete.
At the commencement of the
strike the pants makers were prac
tically unorganized, but today the
1000 who came out to battle for
justice are marching under the
union banner. The results of the
strike are: An increase in prices
from 20 to 25 per cent; that the
operators be paid IL cash instead
of checks, and the formal recogni-
tion of the union.
Three hundred establishments
signed agreements and will here
after be run as closed, or union
