BARRIE GETS DIVORCE.
Correspondent in the Case Adjudged
to Pay Costs.

London, Oct. 13.-James NJ. Barrie,
the novelist and playwright, was today
granted a divorce from his wife on the
grounds of the latter's misconduct
with Gilbert Canaan, young author.
The suit was not defended. Mrs. Bar
RE was formerly Mary Anscell, an
actress.
Parrie himself took the witness
stand. He said that in 1908. he had
permitted the correspondent. the use
of 4 cottage which he owned at Farm
ham. It was at this cottage that the
alleged misconduct took place.
The plaintiff said the matter first
came to his ears from the servants
and that when the accusations were
made known to his wife she admitted
their truth.
Barrie said he offered to forgive the
offense on condition that defendant
should break off her acquaintance
with Canaan. He also said he would
consent to an agreement of separation
Both offers were refused by Mrs
Barrie who pleaded with her husband
to set her free declaring that Canaan
was the only man in the world to her.
No damages are asked by the plaintiff,
but Canaan must pay the costs.

Enforcement of Law Against Minors
Smoking Is Effective.

Chester Whitcomb. Is, student,
arrested this morning by Officer Per-
ney, when seen smoking a cigarette in
public, was referred to the juveline
court for hearing.
Municipal authorities have been
more active of late in the enforcement
of the law against minors smoking in
public and are of the opinion that with
the arrests made. the evil will soon be
crushed
Enforcement of the law has wrought
q hardship on tobacco dealers, at least
the statement of some of them is to the
effect that they are now compelled to
inquire rigidly as regards the age of
the would-be purchaser, and in many
cases refuse sales.
Tobacco sales are thus curtailed, and
with the small per cent of profit in the
weed, should an unlawful sale be
made, and the dealer caught, profits
are cut down to an enormous extent
