HARRIS DIVORCED
Former Rock Island Coachman
Secures a Decree at Sc
attic, Wash.
DESERTION is THE CHARGE
Released Wife, Resident of This City,
Explains Her Reason for Not
Contesting Proceedings.

Sidney Harris has forwarded to
friends here copy of a decree of d.
vorce granted him in the superior court
at Seattle, Wash, May 81 last from
his wife, Jane Harris of Rock Island,
on the grounds of desertion. He
charged also in his declaration that
his wife was insanely Jealous of him.
Harris. according to the decree, is
to pay his wife SIC per month for the
support OF their 3-year-old child Cecil,
the custody of whom the court award
ed the mother. Harris has been a
resident of Seattle for more than i
year. The marriage of the couple took
place in Rock Island June Z, 1905.
ct is true that allowed my husband
to secure a divorce from me- Mrs.
Harris said today at her home, 602
Twenty-fourth street. Since he has
seen fit to desire publication of the
fact that he has been released from
his marriage bonds, / wish to say, in
order that / may not be misjudged in
my home city, that have been wholly
blameless in this affair. l have re-
Trained from circulating my troubles
in print, burt / want to defend myself
and my name.
Too Friendly With other Women.
Mr. Harris conduct with other
women was the cause of our separa-
ton, but it should be stated in con-
nection with his divorce that l have
been provided for as we'll as my child.
There seems to be a disposition to
place me in the wrong in the whole
proceedings, and 1 insist that my
friends shall know the truth. My suit
for $4,000 against Grace Velie Har-
per for the alienation of the affections
of my husband was settled out of court,
but it was settled to my satisfaction,
want it known, and l did not bear
any of the costs, as has been stated.
After this settlement had been agreed
to | promised l would not contest my
husbands action for divorce. l had
hoped not to have this affair further
discussed through the newspapers, and
there was an agreement to that effect,
but the first violation was by the other
side, and therefore feel am released
from my promised silence"

Noted Aviator to Conduct the
Meet at Exposition
Park.
PROGRAM OF THE RACES
Events to Be Conducted Under Aus
pieces of Club-Guarantee of
$4,000 Given.

Glenn H. Curtiss. the aviator, wired
through his manager today accepting
terms offered for an air meet to be
held in this city July Ia, Is and 16. Mr..
Curtis is given a $4,000 guarantee.
Negotiations have been pending for
several weeks between Mr.. Curtiss and
W. A. Rosenfield, president, and H. E.
Casteel, vice president, representing
the Rock Island club, under whose aus
pieces the meeting will be conducted.
1t was necessary for the two gentle
men named to obtain sufficient pledges
Of financial support to fulfill the guar
santee requirements of the noted avia-
lor
The airship flights will be from Rock
Sland Exposition park, Eighteenth av-
le and Ninth street, President T. j..
dill having donated the use of the
Sunds for three days. Curtiss, who
Is accompanied by a number of expe-
rienced assistants, has an engagement
In Chicago, but his flight here will be
the first and only one in the Missis-
sippi valley within radius of 200
miles, and it is likely it will be the
only one at least during the present
year in this territory.
Many Cities After Him.
1t was not an easy matter to secure
Curtiss, when it is known that cities in
all parts of the country are bidding for
his services. Months ago Mr.. Rosen-
field entered into correspondence with
him with view to securing this novel
attraction for Rock Island during the
summer. if possible, and it was only
today that his efforts were successfully
consumn1ated. There will be an adj
mission charge to the Exposition
grounds. and the men who have put
Up their money hope to be able TO real
ize enough from the receipts to in part
protect them in their pledges, although
they are not bringing the aviation
meet here in expectation of profiting
through the enterprise. If they come
out even or near to it they will be more
than satisfied.
Plans are under way to extensively
advertise the event within n radius Of
$50 miles OF Rock Island In the hopes
of drawing big crowds to the city dur
ing the three days 1t should prove one
of the biggest advertisements that
Rock Island has had in years. Rock
Island is one of the few cities of its
size in the country that has undertake
en- such an enterprise, and doubtless
the novelty of it will prove an attrac-
ton to thousands of people resident in
nearby localities.
Prizes for Races.
Curtiss is not to be the only sky
traveller who is TO take part. While he
will give independent exhibitions. the
real excitement is promised when he
races with other well known aviators
who travel with him. There will be
air races each of the three days, in ad-
dition' to an exhibition by Curtiss, and
for the former cups will be offered as
prizes by the Rock Island club.

GLIDDEN TROPHY.
CHICAGO TROPHY
Led Cincinnati june IA.

The IL contesting cars seen here are
the remnants of the q cars that left
Cincinnati Tuesday, June IA, for the
2,S00-mile trip. Originally there were
Is in the contest for the Glidden tro-
ply and IL for the Chicago trophy. A
schedule, which forced the cars TO
maintain the speed of train through
swamps, across streams, over noun
tains, and through practically trackless
areas, caused one after another of the
original entrants to fall by the way.
By the time of the turning point of the
tour - Dallas, Texas, - was reached.
there was not a perfect score left, and
the contest from that time on became
one as to who should show the fewest
penalizations.
Dial H. Lewis, the pilot, stated last ev-
ening that the roads through Iowa, es-
pecially from Shenandoah TO Daven-
port, were the bet found on the trip.
Through the state the highway that
was picked out for the tour was drag
ged several times during the spring and
especial pains taken to put it in shape.

farm houses often displayed bunting.
The Glidden tour, it may be stated
to correct an impression that many
hold, is not race, but an endurance
test. Each car carries judge. who
sees that a certain speed is not ex-
ceeded and that the car makes certain
points within given period and not
before Any adjustment or repairing
of the machinery Lraws a penalty, &C
cording to a fixed schedule, and even
water and gasoline cannot be taken on
except at certain points. The cars are,
of course, subjected to much harder
usage than they are given ordinarily.
and the fact that the penalties have
not been heavier speaks well for the
reliability of the American built auto
mobile.
