tionaI Divorce Suit Filed by
George Muey's Wife, Prom
ise an Aftermath.
HUSBAND VIOLATED
LAW, SHE CHARGES
Mrs. Muey Declares the Sa-
loon on South Fifth Street
Was Scene of Wild Night Or
qies-She Was a Bar-maid.

Sensational disclosures made on tne
witness stand in the circuit court this
morning during q suit for the divorce
Of Margaret Muey from her husband.
George M. Muey. South Fifth street
saloonist, may result In an investiga-
ton Of charges Of liquor law violations
by the prosecuting attorney. The
woman testified that she not only at
tended to her household duties, but
also acted as bar-maid in the saloon,
which is against the state law.
Frequent gatherings Of women in
the saloon after closing hours, and
poker games in Cambridge City, Eat
on and sometimes in this city at pri-
vate houses, were alluded to by the
witness. The charges stood without
contradiction. Muey was represented
only by counsel, L. c. Abbott, and the
attorney made NO effort to cross-ex-
anime the witness.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd
was In the court room at the time
when this evidence was introduced.
He made no statement as to what his
action would be In the matter. Locat-
ed as 1t is on the very outskirts Of the
city. the saloon is said to enjoy Inn
munity from the strict surveillance ac-
corded other places in the city by the
police. Its reputation. the police
know, and although no effort has ever
been made to deny Muey q license,
no has been arrested for violations Of
the law.
Charges Extreme Cruelty.
In addition to the civil charges
made against Muey, his wife while on
the stand this morning said that he
has been very cruel and inhuman in
his treatment. On the day of their
separation, May Is, she said that he
struck her In the mouth and cut her
lip, also advising her to stay away as
he was tired Of her. Threats to take
her life were also made, she averred.
On one occasion, while acting as bar
maid, Muey came into the place and
saw that q deck of cards was wet and
spoiled. For negligence in the matter.
his wife said he picked up q butcher
knife and made q threat to kill her.
On a question by her attorney, viii.
liam H. Kelley, as to the nature Of his
temper, the woman said:
When he is mad he would just as
soon kill you as look at YOU"
While acting as bar-maid she said
that she often talked with the men
who visited the place. Her husband
often warned her against becoming
too friendly with them.
Women Visited Place.
Quarrels between the two were fire.
quent. She knew Of visits of other
women to the saloon after closing
hours and the witness said some of
the remarks passed between them had
caused her to expostulate with Muey
about his conduct. On Sundays she
declared he never stayed at home, but
would explain that he was playing
poker. After hearing the evidence.
Judge Fox declared that she should
have a divorce and custody of the
child.

FORTY BANKERS in PRISON
Twelve Hope to Be ParoIed From
Leavenw0rih.

Leavenworth, Kan. Especially -
Several hundred convicts, 12 of whom
are former bankers, are eagerly look
ing forward to the meeting of the
board of parole which is expected to
convene here early in November. At
this time the board will consider ap-
plications for parole under the act Of
Congress approved last June.
There are forty members in the
bankers colony and some have such
short time to serve that they have
not applied for their freedom, pre-
ferring to serve their time rather
than to be released under parole.
Among those who are eligible to
receive the benefits Of the law are:
Frank Biglow, of Milwaukee; ]. l..
Broderick, Elkhart, Ind; II. A. Cons
man, Terre Haute, Ind; Fred Lubbe,
Indianapolis; w. II. Schmidt and s.
&. Brannard, Cleveland, and c. H..
Thornton, Chicago.
John r. Walsh will not be eligible
until October, 1911, but has a petit
ton far pardon pending now. w.
w. Montgomery, Pittsburg, Pa, poll
tical adviser of the late Senator Quay,
will not be eligible until September.
1914. The law in regard to the par
ole system provides that every prison
er who has served one-third of his
total sentence, and whose record
shows he has observed the rules of
the prison. may be paroled at the
discretion of the board.

TIE BAY OF NAPLES SWEPT
Devastated By Peculiar Combinations
Of the Elements.

Naples Especially The beautiful
coasts of the Bay of Naples and the
Gulf of Salerno and the islands OF
Ischia and Procida have been devas-
tated by a peculiar combination of
the elements. The exact number OF
victims has not been learned, but 100
or more perished. The monetary loss
is great.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form of cyclone having three
centers, the first over the island of
lschia, the second over the town OF
Tore Del Greco on the east of the
Bay of Naples, and the third sweep
ing the Gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying a cyclone were a
cloudburst, a tidal wave and violent
eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and
from a crater suddenly opened on
the summit of the long-extinct Mount
Epomeo, on the Island of Ischia.
Ischia and the adjacent islands suf-
fered most. No Americans are re-
ported in the troubled zone, foreign
ers having recently given that sec
tion a wide berth because of the
cholera epidemic.
The towns chiefly damaged are
Cassamiccola, Lacciomeno, Positano,
Tore del Greco, Reslna and Porticl
in the Province of Naples, and Amalf,
Vietri. Majori, Minori, Pontecagnano
and Cetara. Province of Selerno.
There are victims everywhere.
Details which are slowly arriving
show that each afflicted town and viii
lage has it's own tale of horror. A
dozen were killed here and score
there. Houses and churches were
razed. The loss in crops is meal.
culable. The sea off the Salerno
coast is covered with wreckage, con-
sisting of ruined houses, furniture,
timbers, trees and carcasses OF ami
mails. Some parents, seeing their
children engulfed in the flowing mud.
committed suicide. The mud in some
of the valleys below Mount Ponce is
30 feet deep.
Throughout the night much con-
fusion existed. as the failure of the
electric and telegraph wires left the
territory in darkness and without
means OF easy communication. Ad-
miral Leonardo, minister of marine. is
at lschia organizing the relief, for
which 100000 is already available.
