CHANLER,s FIRsT VICE SUES.

The validity OF the famous prenuptial
agreement between Robert Winthrop
Chanler and Lima Cavalieri, his bride,
is now certain to be tested in the courts.
CHAMBERS first wife, Julia Chamberlain
Chanler, who obtained a divorce from
him in the French courts in 1907, filed
suit in New York yesterday in behalf OF
herself and her children in an endeavor
to set aside the agreement on the
ground that it was obtained by fraud
and undue influence and that it was not
the free act of Robert Winthrop
ChanIer. Mrs. Chanler, the first, has
an agreement Of her own with her
former husband providing for the pay
ment Of $40, 900 yearly for her support
and s., 600 yearly for the support OF
each of her daughters.
The plaintiff is not aware, " she says
in her papers, of the yearly income Of
the said Robert Chanler, but the
plaintiff believes that by the aforesaid
agreement the defendant has put it out
of his power to carry out the terms OF
his said agreement with the plaintiff,
and that by reason thereof the plaintiff
and her children may be deprived OF
the means OF livelihood. "
She continues that she is further i'll
formed and believes that the defendant,
at the time Of the execution OF the said
indenture, was in a suggestible mental
state, that he was susceptible or liable
to be easily influenced and deceived,
and that the defendant, Natalina
Cavalier Chanler, knowing Of his con-
diton and taking advantage thereof,
contrived, by misrepresentation,
specous inducements and undue in
huence to persuade him to execute the
said indenture."

Conditions In Portugal.

Lisbon, Sept. 22.-In an attempt to
escape suspicion in connection with the
latest anti-monarchial plot, which led
to the raiding of bomb factory, re-
publicans are today charging that the
anti-cIerical attitude Of King Manuel
and the cabinet is responsible for the
movement. The charge is being sap
ported by the anti-clericals. Though
there is nothing tangible to support
this attack on the clericals, it is an
open secret that they are doing every
thing in their power to foster the agI-
tation against the government in the

made against a number OF Catholic

HookwOrm War Is Being Pushed.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 22.-The cam
paign against hookworm disease III
Southampton county is proceeding
with great success. Reports received
at the State Health Department from
the county indicate that great interest
is being taken in the work by the ply
sicians and by the people, and that
Southampton county will soon rid itself
Of the infection. When the survey OF
Southampton was begun by the officers
OF the State Health Department, the
county was found to be very seriously
infected. The disease had evidently
existed in the county for years and a
large proportion Of the people were suf-
fering from the mild or severe forms
OF the disease. A vigorous campaign
was at once undertaken and field in
spectors were sent to the county. The
work OF these inspectors was enthusi-
astically received by the citizens OF the
county who aided in every possible
way in the work, and the last report
shows that more than one thousand
persons who were found suffering from
the disease have already been treated,
and the complete eradication OF the
disease from the country is not far dis
tant. "The most encouraging feature
of the work in Southampton, " said the
state health commissioner, in discuss
ing the matter today, is the readiness
with which the people have taken pre-
ventive measures Our inspectors have
told them that while they may be tenn
porarily cured OF the disease, they are
never safe until soil pollution is stopped.
Accordingly, hundreds of families have
made new sanitary arrangements and
have put an end to conditions
which have made the eradication OF
hookworm impossible. They have
teken the only possible way Of Kidding
themselves OF this trouble and will GER
tainly reap the benefits Of their fore

Alliance Imminent.

Hamburg, Sept 22.-Cables advices
today from Rio de Janeiro say that
an alliance between Brazil, the Argen-
tine Republic and Chile, to check the
increasing influence OF the United
States in South America, is imminent.
Jealousy between Brazil and : the
Argentine republic has heretofore
prevented such an alliance, the cables
say, but new administrations in these
countries have brought about amicable
relations. Chile is understood to have
favored such an alliance for years.

Tries to Plee From Bride of one
Night.

Bloomsbury, Pa, Sept. 22.-To be-
come the bride OF a man she had ac-
tually known but two hours, and then
be told on the morning following the
ceremony that he was not the man
with whom she had been corresponding
for seven months and with whom she
had exchanged photographs, and later,
after an irate parent had caused his
arrest. To have him admit he really was
the man she believed him to be, was
the experience within twenty-four
hours of Miss Sadie Emery, daughter
OF f. S. Emery, OF Bloomsbury.
The romance had its inception when
the bride read an advertisement that
William Crawford, OF Amhurst, Neb.,
was not adverse to taking unto him
self second wife, he being a wild
over, Al years old with hve-year-old
son. Miss Emery answered the adyer-
tisement, and her letter brought a
feryent response. That was seven
months ago. The correspondence was
kept up and photographs exchanged,
with the result that she finally accept
ed his proposal Of marriage.
In anticipation OF his arrival yester-
day the bride obtained the Rev Charles
Baerle to tie the nuptial knot. The
bridegroom did not reach town until
late at night, and to facilitate matters
the clerk OF the courts was routed from
bed so that the pair might get their
marriage license and the ceremony be
performed without delay.
Custom OF the church to which Miss
Emery belongs has it that on the
marriage night the bride sleeps WITH
her mother and the bridegroom with
the brides father, and it was this fact
that early yesterday morning enabled
his new father-in-law to nip Crawford S
plan OF escape. Aroused before D
O'Clock, Emery was amazed to see
Crawford preparing to leave the house.
In reply to questions, Crawford de-
clared he had done his duty in coming
on; that he was not Crawford, and that
Crawford would appear in few days.
District Attorney Small, Justice ia
CODY and Constable Betz were routed
from their beds, and before the town
clock had struck 6 O'Clock Crawford
found himself under arrest 1t was
when he was in this predicament that he
declared his statement that he was not
Crawford was untrue and that he was the
man OF the young girls dreams. The
difficulties were adjusted, and bride
and bridegroom left yesterday for the
latter's western home, where, according
to the story he tells, he is a man OF
property.

If THE right hand of fellowship were
extended to burglars, second story
men. crooks and others OF this stripe,
instead of a kick and threat, the
world would be better and there would
be no need of locks and keys. This is
the belief Of Henry Neil, of Chicago,
Secretary OF the National Probation
League, and to show that he is willing
to practice what he breaches, Neil has
had all locks and bars removed from
the windows and doors OF his home.
Apv visitor who cares to visit his house
is welcome, said Neil, and the only
favor he asks is that if they enter at
night, they waken him so that be may
serve refreshments and have a little
chat. Neil is confident that no one Is a
burglar for fun, and that at the bottom
Of every robbery there is a sane and
reasonable excuse. Locks and iron
bars are relics of barbarous age, he
said. There is but little likelihood OF
the Chicagoan having many imitators.

here. " said Clerk O'Brien.
Then the latter referred the couple
to justice Of the peace, who has mem
