For the first time since the velie car was
put on the market a complete exhibit OF
the line will be shown at the Interna-
tional Automobile show to be held in New
York. December 81 to January T.
The reason exhibits have not been made
before this time is due to the fact that It
is the policy OF the Velie company not 70
exhibit cars in territory where they cannot
properly supply the demand and up to the
present time the factory output has been
limited to supplying the mlddie-western
trade entirely. In the future the cars will
be handled in all eastern centers and ex-
hibits will be made at all prominent auto
mobile shows.

Seeks AnnuIment

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-Luigi Bag
hetti. who is In the banking and for
warding business. Is suing for annul-
ment OF marriage on about the oldest
ground ever heard in the supreme
court. He alleges that at the time OF
the marriage his wife committed a
fraud. In that she stated her age to
be more than eighteen.

to his lawyer. Moses A. Sachs, OF No.
81 Park Row. Baghetu first made the
acquaintance OF Miss Jessica Born
helm. a good-Iooking young miss. the
daughter OF weil-to-do parents, In
Jersey City. When Baghetti proposed
marriage he was promptly accepted.
In the early part OF June. 1908. the
young people concluded to get mar
ried. II was to be an elopement,
since Miss Bornheim said that her
parents would not give their consent
on account OF her youth. When Bag
hetti asked his flancee her age she
said she was Just past eighteen, he
declares. He has learned since that
she was not quite sixteen.
They rented a little apartment, fur
nished It and went to the city hall
and were married by an alderman.
After a quiet wedding breakfast the
newly-weds, apparently happy, went
to the new home In One Hundred and
Sixth-st., near Park-ave. They got
there shortly before p. m.
The bride said she would go out
and take a walk. Baghetti wanted to
accompany her, but she declined. say
ing she would return soon. He kissed
her good-by. and that was the last
time he saw her.
All that evening and night Bag
hetti sat uD and waited for his young
bride. but she did not return. The
morning after the wedding letter
came from his bride.

Leaving out Of account three dis

Regardless OF what the doubtful con-

The report that Conservative Lead

Nationalist vote by proposing a home
