NOVELIST BARRIE
 GRANTED DIVORCE
Almost in State of Collapse as He Tells Court of
 Wife's Misconduct
SHE PREFERRED CANAAN

London, Oct. 13.-J. M. Barrie, nov elist and playwright, was today grant ed a degree nisi in his divorce suit, the decree to become absolute in six months. He took the stand and test1- fled as to the infidelity on the part of his wife. The acts complained of took place a little more than IS months ago, Barrie testified, while Glider Cannan, an obscure author, was a visitor at the Barrie home. The case was uncOnteSt- ed and Mrs. Barrie was not in court.
 Barrie said that Cannan first came to his home IS months ago to consult with him regarding the dramatic cen sorship inquiry that was at that time agitating the country. Later Cannan spent a week at his home He said that the servants of the ,. house presented conclusive evidence to him of the mis- conduct of his wife and his guest and he accused his wife, offering either to forgive or to accept a separation all lowing her an income.
 Mrs. Barrie, the witness said, refused lis forgiveness saying she preferred Canna to him and insisted that he take whatever measure he thought neces- sary He took her at her word. he said, and started divorce proceedings. During his testimony Barrie was so agitated that his words were hardly intelligible. The lawyers tried to make his examination on the witness stand as easy for him as possible but he was almost in a state of collapse when ms examination ended.
 The name of Pauline Chase. the Am erican actress who was adopted by Barrie, and whom, it was rumored, Barrie intends to marry, was not men, tioned in today's proceedings.

 Forbes Field, Pittsburg. Oct. 13.- Clear, cool weather greeted the Detroit and Pittsburg players when they took the field to play the fifth game of the worlds series. The early crowd was not so large to-day as those of the first two days and the wild enthusiasm of the first two games was lacking.
 The left and right field bleachers were not thrown open until Il o'clock and those in center field were barred until a short time before the game started.
 There is absolutely no foundation in the rumor that the games were fix ed,'' said President Perriman of the National Commission. "The Commis sion would not stand for anything that looked suspicious for a minute"

HANDSOME TROPHIES

Final preparations are now being made for the coming Elks bowling tournament which will shortly be in full swing at the handsome home of the Elks of this city.

 There will be number of exceeding ly handsome trophies for the winners and with the bowling alleys made ready for the event there is no req son why the tournament should not be one of the most interesting ever held OF local alleys.
 None but Elks will be allowed to compete. In looking over the names of those already entered it is seen that many of the foremost bowlers in the Park City are entered. The committee is to arrange for seating accommodations for spectators and ev- cry attention to detail will be paid.
 All members of No. 36 who have any interest in bowling and who desire to test their abilities are invited to enter. The names must all be in not later than next week when the teams will be. arranged and everything made ready for the beginning of the tourney.

Special from United Press. )

 Washington, Oct. 13.-'I am not a clairvoyant; that's been my trouble right along,' said Charles R. Crane to- day when asked whether the President had formally accepted his resignation as minister to China.
 That the President will support Secretary Knox in forcing Crane out of the diplomatic service is a foregone conclusion, notwithstanding the warm personal regard the President has for him. The secretary has been in tele- graphic communication with the Presi- Washington. keeping the President fully advised of ali developments and presumably receiving the executives approval of his course in handling the Situa tion.
 Cranes future is a good deal more certain today than that of the Chinese ministership. He will simply return to Chicago and resume his business of making tubing. pipes and plumbers supplies: It was only upon the urgent solicitation of the President that he accepted the appointment originally.
 Finding a suitable minister to Pekin has been one of President Taft's most perplexing problems. He first chose Ex-Senator Fulton or Oregon but the Chinese government objected to him because of his activities in the matter of Chinese exclusion. The President then hit upon John Hayes Hammond but business conditions prevented Hammond s acceptance. Finally the President got after Crane and was greatly relieved when the Chicago man

St. Louis, Oct. 13.-In an effort sto exceed all American balloon records for distance and win the Lahm cup, A. Holland Forbes of New York, and Max Fleischmann of Cincinnati sailed from St. Louis in the balloen New York at 5:35 o'clock yesterday after noon. The big gas bag went directly east.
 Ballast amounting to 200o pounds was in the basket. Five sacks of sand were lost in the ascent when the basket hit the roof of the gas house and tore away part of the roof. The aeronauts for a minute were in great danger. MT. Forbes. the pilot, who is acting president of the Aero Cub of America. expects to land in Canada in the vicinity of the St. Lawrence Val ley.

 The balloon. according to the wealth er observer, will cross one of the Great Lakes. and to keep the basket afioat if it should land in water the aero nauts placed around it a twenty-foot inflated rubber tube. Life preservers, water anchors and rifles are in the basket,

charges against Ferrer concerned his connection with the revolution paper. Fl ProgTesso, his proposal to establish a Spanish republic and the founding of a school for anarchists. He was one of the leaders during the disturbance in Barcelona in July and was placed under arrest on September 1. His late arrest, the Spanish authorities claim ed, was made because they were anxi- ouS to make, sure of fheir position be- fore arresting a man of Ferrer's prom thence.
 The sentence of death was reviewed by the Spanish Cabinet. It was rumor- ed that King Alfonso went so far as to express his willingness that Ferrer' S sentence be committed but he refused to make any stronger suggestion.
 News of the execution of Ferrer has .precipitated another series of riots by Q group of reVolutionists.

PROF. FERRER SHOT BY
 SELECT FIRING SQUAD
 IN BARCELONA TODAY
His Execution Denounced By Great Crowd Outside
 ress Roaring and Clamoring It's Opposition Outcry Goes Up All Over Europe and It Is Proclaimed that the Evidence of His Mock Trial Consisted of Forgeries By the Police.

Cerebere, France, Oct. 12-The exc cution of Professor Francisco Ferrer for complicity in the Bacelona revolu- ton of July, took place this morning at nine o'clock at Mont Juich fortress in Barcelona. Acensorship at Barce Iona is attempting to suppress all news of the execution but few of the facts have leaked out.
 Ferrer was shot by a specially se- 1ected firing squad as the authorities were afraid to entrust the work to the ordinary squad for fear that it would refuse to fire, several refusals having already taken place during the politi- cal executions. Ferrer was told by the Secretary of the Interior last evening that he would be put to death at 5 o'clock and the doomed man was ready at that hour. Instead of being put to death, however, he was led to the pris- on chapel where he was kept waiting until o'clock when he was marched out into one of the small prison courts, stood against the wall and shot. The execution was accomplished without any untoward incident, according to one dispatch, though another declares a great crowd waited outside the fort ress and roared and clamored it's op- position being finally dispersed by sol- diers.
 Spanish Liberals, not including the Terrorists, but the most moderate wing, are proclaiming a proclamation today informing the country that all the evidence against Ferrer, on which the court martial found him guilty, consisted of forgeries by the police. There was no evidence against Ferrer that would have been acceptable in an ordinary court, the proclamation says.

TERRIER REGARDED TOLSTOI OF SPAIN

London. Oct. 13.-The Exchange Tel egraph Company's correspondent at Madrid telegraphs that Professor Fer Ter convicted> by court martial of in citing the riots at Barcelona, was shot this morning ill the fortress of Mont juish.
 No other news agency as yet has confirmed the Exchange Telegraph's s dispatch. eff Professor Ferrer, one of the noblest and most unselfish men in all Europe and worthy to be called the Tolsti of Spain is murdered after a mock trial, the, civilized world will suf- fer an unspeakable humiliation"
 This expression in today's London News told how England views the sit uation. The outcry that went up all over Europe against the execution of Ferrer was not confined to the radi- calls alone It came from high circles as well as from low and from those in an official position as well as from others. The country is almost wholly with Ferrer, and his execution is con- sidered not only a crime but an unciv- ilized and downward plunge.

evidence upon which to arrest them and we certainly could not arrest the property owner for failing to provide the necessary receptacles to come within the law. When these and many other conditions are understood it will be seen we have not been dilatory.
 Furthermore many of the health ordinances are not worth a tinker. They are unconstitutional. Take for instance the meat ordinance which contains several sections. The whole thing is invalid for the simple reason that there is no limit to the penalty to be imposed and to be constitutional there must be one. We will have no trouble in showing Dr. Ober that there are two ways of looking at this ques- tiOn''

Republican politics developed yes terday and to-day with the speed of Q moving picture film in a ten cent theatre. Early this morning came the announcement, apparently upon excel lent authority, that Thomas Arnold, Jr., is out of the mayoralty race, and that there will not be an Arnold tick ct in any district in the city. May or Henry Lee, announced this after noon, in no uncertain tones, that he will be a candidate to the last, and that he expects to be nominated. In the Eleventh District, the only district in which the issue between the mayor and the harbormaster has been brought, as yet, to ballot, the Mor- ris ticket defeated the Lee ticket, in the caucus, 69 to 19.

COURT MARTIAL
 WAS A FARCE

Paris, Oct. 13.-Professor Sanfrisco ferrer sentenced to death by a court martial at Barcelona for cornplicity in the July revolution, was shot at an early hour this morning in the Mont Juich fortress, acording to dispatch es received from Barcelona.
 Socialists throughout France and host of friends and admirers of Ferrer had hoped to the last minute that King Alfonso would commute the death sen tence owing to the grave circum- stances which might follow his execu ton. The trial by court martial of Ferrer is declared on all sides to have been a farcical proceeding. This feat ure has added to the revolutionary spirit in Spain and has thrown the country in front of a far more serious outbreak than that of last July. The

 REPLIES TO CRITICS
Threats Without Law Can not Be Enforced, He Says,
 .-. for Ober's Benefit

In answer to the charge made by the members of the board of Health last night against Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Delaney and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William Redden, the last named official said this morn ing:
 We have the greatest praise for the board of Health for it's work in keep ing the city clean. We do not blame them for finding fault with our seem ing inactivity. from their point of view, but we feel that after Dr. Ober has talked with us, and we will be very glad to talk with him, the board will better realize our position.
 'It is all very well for the, board of this and that to be done and threaten people with prosecution but it is the duty of a prosecutor to get convic- tions. It is also the duty of a prose and make them pay out their money for their defence when there is no good reason for so doing. It is as wrong for us to do that as 1t would be for us to steal s5 from the till of a store keeper. The principle would be the same.
 Tt is true that we have received communications from the board of Health regarding violators of the health officers and it is true that all
  Many of them have been.
 "The chief complaint is about the back yards, those which have not gar bage cans or ash bins. In many cases the board had not notified the re- sponsible parties. The board had sim ply notified agents or the property owners. Now these agents are merely rent collectors and they have no power to make repairs on the property from which they collect rent. How can we convict an agent for failing to do what he has no right to do? The property owner is the man who must receive notice of necessary changes to make the place sanitary and we can not prosecute him if he has not been notified.
 There is another thing which we have found. In some parts of the city where ash bins have not been found. nor garbage cans. these property own CTS claim that they could not keep these receptacles in the yard. The ash bins would be torn down and used for kindling wood and the cans would be stolen. These things were done pre- sumably by the tenants. But who can prove that they did 1t? We have no

 The mayor declared that he has al- ways been willing to take the nor1in- ation if his party selects him and that he is not afraid to run, win or lose.
