Curious Reason for the Mutilation Of

foot of Mathe Duda, a deceased land
owner, at Salona, near Spalato. In
that locality exists a deeply rooted
superstition that any evil-doer will
after death, be compelled to wander
around eternally in the shape OF a
greatly distended spirit, to the terror
and discomfort of himself and all be
holders. AS Duda's daughter-in-law

AN ALL ROUND LOSER.
Tive Chapters In the Sensational Case
of Miss Sylvey Speer, of Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 13.--Two minutes
after Mrs. Silvey Speer Thomas,
daughter of w. A. Speer, well known
in financial circles, was granted
total divorce from her fathers cLauf-
feur, Russell J. Thomas, in the Supe-
rior Court today, marriage license
was issued to Marshall G. Mckenzie
and Miss Silvey Speer.
Miss Speer's divorce was secured
on allegations that she was forced to
marry the chauffeur because the man
had made threats of violence against
her father unless the daughter con-
sented to -elope with him.
Immediately after the plrties in
volved left the court house they were
driven to the Speer residence. on
Peachtree Road, where the wedding
ceremony was performed in the pres
ence of large party of friends.
Another chapter in the Speer case
also was concluded today whom
verdict was rendered in the Superior
Court in favor of w. A. Speer, who
was sued by his chauffeur, Thomas,
for 100000 for alienation of his
wife's affections.
The elopement of beautiful Si!tcy
Speer, with her fathers handsome
young chauffeur fourteen months ago,
created a sensation. After being mar
ried in Atlanta, they left for Char
lotte, N. c., where they were arrested
as they registered at a prominent ho-
tel Mrs. Speer brought the bride
back to Atlanta, but the young hus-
band made so much trouble that the
mother took her daughter to New
York. Here the bride was kept hid
den to escape reporters and to evade
a writ of habeas corpus sought by
the husband. Finally, Mrs. Speer
sailed with her daughter for Europe.
Thomas asserted that if he could
see his bride alone she would declare
that she preferred him to her parents.
This her parents refused to allow.
They charged that she was drugged
by Thomas the day of the wedding
and while in this condition, was fore
ed under threats to consent to the
marriage.

AERosss.tNE SUIT IN COURT.


Buffalo, n. Y, Dec. 14.-Three Of
the worlds most famous aviators, the
Wright brothers and Glenn H Curtis,
of the Herring-Curtis Company, join
ed issue in a legal battle here today
The proceedings, which came before
Judge Hazel, in the United States
Court, were in suit brought by the
Wrights for preliminary Injunction
against Curtis to restrain him and his
associates from manufacturing and
selling aeroplanes on the ground that
in all essential details Curtis is in
fringing on the patents of the Wrights.
Arguments had not been completed
when court adjourned until tomor
row.
Attorney H. A. Toulmin, of Spring
field, O., representing the Wright
brothers, argued for three hours to
show that his clients were the pio-
neers in making and demonstrating
the heavier than air machines. He
laid special stress on their discovery
of devices for balancing a machine in
the wind, one of the claims in the suit
being that Curtis copied these devices.
1t was also charged that Curtis re-
ceived his inspiration and understand
ing of these devices while A. NJ. Her
ring, his partner, was guest of the
Wrights in 1903.
For Mr. Curtis, Attorney Emerson
E. Knowell, of New York, denied in
fringement. He said that the
Wrights themselves had admitted that
the inclined or curved plane and the
forward and rear attachments were
old; that while the Wrights had solvet
the balancing problem, Curtis hae
adopted an enirely different plan tt
maintain equilibrium. He also claim
ed that the particular devices upol
which the Wrights claimed infringe
ment aever had been patented.
He contended that an automobil
device to maintain equilibrium wa
still the great desideratum in the aer
op1ane.
