RYAN STOLE HER HUSBAND?
A New York Woman Will Sue the Fin.
ancier for 100000.


New York, Dec. 10.-Mrs. Catherine
confidential agent of Thomas f. Ryan,
the financier, says that the divorce just
granted to her husband was obtained
through conspiracy and fraud and that
she will institute an action against
Thomas F. Ryan, demanding 100000
damages for the alienation of Gilhool-
ey's affections.
Mrs. Gilhooley says that the first
intimation she had that the decree had
been made final last month was when
she read the announcement in paper
few days ago. She says Mr.. Ryan
was responsible for her husband de-
sorting her and that the traction mag.
nate has furnished Gilhooley with
funds and even his own personal coun-
sci, Alfred c. Joplin, to fight the suit.
The whole suit has been a fraud
and conspiracy since the beginning"
Mrs. Gilhooley said today. "If some
of the lawyers and judges had their
just deserts they would be in jail.
When my husband was granted a di-
vorce last August, naming an innocent
priest, | was the most surprised wo-
man in the world. l never had been
called to give any testimony nor was
| given chance to put in defense.
Once in the hearing | was subpoenaed
before Senator Ellsburg who acted as
referee. ! was sworn in and then told
to go home. l was never asked one
question. l was told that it was not
necessary to testify or put in any de-
tense.
Il have appealed to Mr.. Ryan to
send my husband home to me, but he
has refused to help me. On the con,
trary, he encouraged him to remain
away so that he could accompany him
to Europe for six months each year
He told me that he didn't want to be
bothered with my troubles. l hold
Mr.. Ryan responsible for taking my
husband away. He was practically
kidnapped just before Easter and has
never been allowed to return home to
get his clothing"
Mrs. Gilhooley said that the priest
who was mentioned by her husband in
the divorce papers, died abroad two
months ago. The Gilhooleys were mar
ried fourteen years ago and lived to
gether until last Easter. Mr.. Gilhool
ey has been in the employ of Mr.. Ryan
for twenty years.

HOW SHE RoAsTs WOMEN.
Gertrude Anterior Says Men Want
Sympathy in Their Affairs.


New York, Dec. 10.-"Men today
want their wives to be intelligent COM
panions," Gertrude Atherton, the nov
elist, said. while a husband may not
care to discuss his business in his
home, he is interested in a great many
general questions, as men were not
a hundred years ago, and he expects
his wife to be capable of discussing
them with him and to be able to in
terest him in the the problems and
affairs that make her own life.
very young men are not conscious
of these demands and very young wo-
men do not meet them. For they are
urged to marriage by the call of the
race, the insistent demand of nature
to continue herself. But if a man
survive this period without marrying
he will seek an intelligent companion
for wife, not merely the first pretty
girl he happens to meet.
'If woman wants to make anything
of her life she must have a definite
interest in it. A great deal of the UNI
happiness of American marriages is
due to the wife's lack of interest and
occupation. Formerly a woman had
an entire house and little garden
to care for, and there were many more
children to family than there are
today. But now the average woman
lives in fiat. She has a servant tC
relieve her of the homework.
Her days are dedicated to idleness
then to strange cults and isms. Why
| is it that so many wives have nervous
prostration? Simply lack of interest
! in life, lack of occupation.
How many wives do you know who
are really happy? They say they are
happy, of course, but if you get tc
know them well enough for them tt
tell you the truth, you hear a different
story. Haven't you often heard the
most devoted wife say when her hus
band went away: "Thank heaven he's
gone; now | can have few days tC
myself And this for no graver reas
on than because she would be free
for awhile from growing about the
meals or perhaps from suffering from
| his lack of the little refinements fol
which men care so little and womer
so much.
Everyone has an embryonic talen
for something. Each woman SHOULD
find out what hers is and develop it
/ believe though that a woman whC
finds her work all absorbing SHOULD
not marry. That is why have neve
married again.
But do you know what I think Il
going to be the salvation of this coun
try? The women's clubs. l don't be
long to a club. You don't. We hav,
our work and we don't need it. Blu
for the women we were speaking o
just now. the wives of the moderated,
well-to-do-just rich enough to hav'
other women do their work and no
rich enough to create other interest
for themselves, clubs are wonderful,
beneficial. They give balance an,

souAW WINS A DIVORCE.
Left.Handed Bear Cuts Wife's Hair
Team included in Alimony.

Team Included In Allmony.
LeBeau, S. d., Dec. lO.-ln IA fit of
rage, Harvey Left-Handed Bear as
sumed the role of barber, attacked his
wife and performed hair-cutting feat
that left the squaw in a most humil-
iating position, socially, and in ner.
vous condition mentally and physical
ly.
Mrs. Bear was not called upon to
mourn the death of a near relative,
and because Harvey made her a
mourner by reason of his "barbaric'
act, Mrs. Bear came to LeBeau and
instructed an attorney to file suit
for divorce. Some days ago, Harvey
accused his wife of unbecoming con.
duct and brought suit for a divorce.
He then went home, grabbed her by
the locks and gave her midsummer
haircut.
Both parties to the suit wanted a
divorce and the court gave the decree
to the squaw, together with the Gus
tody of the three cub Bears and ali
mony as follows: One bay team, wag
on, harness, ten head of cattle and
house and barn.
The Left-Handed Bear allotment is
directly across from LeBeau, and Har
vey is now taking an inventory of his
property preparatory to carrying out
the mandate of the court.
