Terrible Little Ex-shop Keeper
Is Believed to Be Dy-
ing Now.
LEAVES MARTINIQUE SOON
STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
ARE VERY GRATiFIED OVER
THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

Washington, April 10.-The French
Government has Informed the State
Department of it's determination to
put into effect Immediately the de-
cision announced Thursday from Paris
to expel former President Castro, of
Venezuela. from Fort de France, Mar
Unique. and compel his return to
Europe.
The program is to put him aboard
the first vessel touching at Fort de
France. If this program is carried
out Castro will be on his way to Eur
ope in day or two unless his physi-
cal condition is such that an ocean
trip at this time would put his life in
jeopardy. The first steamer seized
uled to touch at the Martinique port
Europe bound is the French Line ship
Versailles, due there tomorrow.
Are Much Gratifed.
The State Department officials are
much gratified at the manner in
which the French Government has
acted in the matter and feel relieved
that Castro is to be sent back to Eur
ope, where he will have no immediate
influence in the affairs Of Venezuela,
in which country his personal follow
ing is believed to be considerable and
might have a tendency to unsettle the
peaceable condition of affairs there.
France, the officials say, has realized
the possibilities in the case and has
met the wishes of the United States
in keeping the former President away
from the locality where his presence
is undesirable.
Some of the prominent officers of
the Government are disposed to look
on Castro's reported serious setback
with suspicion, taking the ground that
it may be a clever ruse designed by
him to make it appear that a return
to Europe is necessary to obtain sur
gical aid, when in fact the real pur-
pose is ito save his face" He real
ties, they say, that conditions for him
on this side OF the Atlantic are against
him and that the best course for him
to pursue is to go back to Europe and
bide his time. hoping for better op-
portunity later.

It WAS TOO MUCH
FATHER-|N-LAW
Brides Father Appears in d.
voroe Court as the
"Troubie Maker"
WIFE GOES TO HER PAPA
THIS STARTLING DISCOVERY
WAS MADE ~ RALPH DRULEY
WHEN HE RETURNED HOME
ONE DAY.

1t was too much father-in-law.
Mothers-in-law have had their turns
in the divorce courts and comic sup
plements many, many times, but today
in circuit court, was the first time the
brides father has appeared as the
cause of the trouble between husband
and wife. Ralph Druley left his wife
at home to go to his fathers. She
kissed him goodbye and continued
singing to the baby. Everything was
apparently as happy as could be in the
Druley household. But when the anx-
ious father returned, he found no wife
and no baby. The father-in-law, New
ton Stevens, had come from his home
in Preble county and taken his daugh-
ter back with him. The news was
broken to the young father by the
hired girl.
Druiey Tells Story.
This morning Druley told of the at
fair to Judge Fox. He was seeking a
divorce from his wife and the custody
of the two-year-old baby. The young
man bears an excellent reputation. lie
was educated at the local high school
and always was well liked by his ac-
Quaintances. His domestic troubles
were surprise to all his friends. Ac-
cording to his testimony the hand of
the father was to be found provoking
all the troubles that have befallen the
otherwise happy family. The court re-
fused the divorce, the judge saying he
believed there was a way to mend mat
tiers and that separation would be a
shame. The father-in-law was advised
to withdraw his interference.
Druley said he and his wife did not
know what domestic trouble was. He
loved her and she appeared to love
him There had been no quarrels of any
kind nor other disturbances. Before
leaving home. the wife, Ivy. had not
intimated to her husband in any way
that she intended to leave him. On
| the eyentful day. she appeared just as
kind toward him as had been her Gus
tom.
After Druley found his wife gone and
learned where she was. he secured a
writ of habeas corpus. 1t was heard
| in sac court at Eaton. Ohio, and the
Young wife said she left home OF her
own free will. SO the court held
against her husband. Druley was lef:
with no other course to pursue except
appeal to the divorce courts He ties
titled his father-in-law had threatened
| TO kill him IL he visited his wife.

"Paid In Full"

On the stage of the Gennett thenter
tonight will be given Wagenhals and
Kemper's great play of present day
life in America, by Eugene Walter,
Paid in Full" Breathing strength in
every line this play is 30 unquestion-
ably out of the ordinary that 1t seems
safe to predict a most roseate future
for it. For q decade now 1t has been
the custom to write the so-called Am
erican play either In the tortuous val
leys of the west or in the drawing
rooms of the effete east, but not in
this instance. Mr.. Walter has taken
as his central figures the men and
women of every day America and they
are spontaneously wholesome figures,
too. not mere mannikins jumping at
the pulling of string. There II life,
full blooded. virile life in all of them.
a life we must needs recognize and APP
preciate and stalk with throughout all
time. Such characters Mr. Walter has
created as 'Jimsy Smith, Captain VIII
liams, Joe and Emma Brooks and
they are of our native soil; they are
the men and women we rub shoulders
with day In and day out and it would
seem that they are the ones best un-
derstood. The theme of Paid in Full
is different. vastly different. from the
conventional cut and squared play,
and it's presentation is made in a
wholesome, forceful fashion. There is
a refreshing treatment of social con-
ditions in Paid in Full" and for the
best Characterization of these various
characters Messrs. Wagenhals and
kemper have secured an extraordin.
airy brilliant cast Of PLAYERS. Paid in
Full' has to its credit a five months
run at the Grand opera house, Chicago
and two seasons at the Astor. theater,
