from the mill early.
Hackenberry, who sat In his spring
wagon in front of the house weighed
80 pounds more than Gov at the rear

Anniversary of Barcelona Out
break on July 27 Is Caus-
ing Anxiety.

Barcelona, Spain, July 20.-Great
anxiety over the approach of the ami
versary of the Barcelona riots OF July
81, 1909, is apparent in government and
police circles.
The rioting began as a protest
against the prosecution of the campaign
against the tribesmen on the Riff coast
in Morocco. The calling out of re-
servists to reinforce the army which
followed by a general strike, the burn
ing Of churches and monastic institu-
tons and the shedding of much blood.
The Carlists n republicans are now
holding opposition meetings and the
situation is complicated by the threat
of the workmen's organization to call
a general strike.
General Weyler, captain general Of
Catalonia, is assembling the troops at
critical points with the intention Of
crushiGg any outbreak. The churches
and converts, probable objects of mob

HANDSOME CORPORAL
GETS A COMMISSION
Young Myer, Social Lion, Will
Land in Navy as a
Paymaster.

Washington, July 20.--Undismayed
by his recent failure to pass examina-
ton for a second lieutenancy in the
United States army Albert p. Myer,
IT,. the millionaire corporal" of the
signal corps, who has been stationed at
Fort Myer, Va, for some months, has
succeeded in qualifying in examina-
ions for a commission as an assistant
paymaster in the United States navy.
He will be appointed in a few weeks.
Myer, who reached his majority about
a year ago, wanted to emulate the bril-
liant military career Of his grandfather,
Genera Myer, who founded the United
States signal corps and for whom Fort
Myer, Va, was named.
Although unsuccessful in his efforts
to become a line officer in the army he
was somewhat more of a success as a
social lion. While at Fort Myer the
young corporal attended many social
functions in Washington. These du-
ties consumed SO much time that his
studies for an army commission were
said to have suffered.

IN RACE
With PRINCE FOR
Love OF HIS Wife
Artist and Lawfully Welded
Spouse of Woman Both in
Rush to Get to Her
First.

New York, July 20.-When the Lusi-
tiana arrived a small, dark man dis,
embarked, passed the customs officers
and went on his way. This was Prince
Alonzo d'Abro, In Armenian, one time
friend OF Henry Clews, jr., the wealthy
young artist, son of the dean Of Wall
street bankers.
young Nj. Clews himself, who took
the first possible boat after learning
that the prince had sailed.
When Mr.. Clews painted a picture Of
his wife some time ago-a particularly
lovely picture-a small, foreign looking
man made every effort to buy 1t. Thus
he met Mrs. Clews and her husband
teremely friendly.
Rupture in Friendship.
This man. it is said. was Prince
d'Abro. At a certain time last spring
there was a rupture in the friendship
or the trio. Clews returned to Amer
lea, Mrs. Clews accompanying him.
sour weeks ago the young artist
sailed for Paris, where he and the
Prince d'Abro became on the friendli-
est of terms.
Suddenly the Armenian disappeared
without telling his bosom friend Of his
Intended departure or of his destination
and after inquiry those who knew him
learned he was on the Luistania.
Then, 1t is said, the wires from the
Clews studio to the French line dock
In Harve were kept busy and the
young artist obtained a last-minute ac-
~commodation on La Larraine. What
will be the denouement of this singular
pursuit is giving ample speculation to
those In society here and abroad who
know both men.
Mrs. Henry Clews, jr., is the daugh-
ter of John b. Morris, a business man
of Baltimore, who left a large estate.
Her first husband was Freddie" Geb-
hard. She was married to him in 1894,
when she was % years old. Their life
was not a happy one, and in 1901 he
obtained a divorce at Sioux Falls, S. d.
She waived alimony and Gerhard deed
ed to her a house in Seventy-ninth
street.
A month later she was married to
young Clews. They have two children.
In due time Mr.. and Mrs. Clews set
tied in Paris, where he took a studio.
There 1t developed that her social tenn
permanent and his artistic tempera-
ment did not agree, and for a time a
divorce was imminent.
He shocked her, she complained, by
suddenly appearing at her parties and
exclusive entertainments in his studio
attire. Once, when he insisted on wait

she had a real good cry.
Ducked in a Bathtub.
Early in February, 1908, Mrs. Clews
stirred Baltimore society by giving a
costume lance in the Elk Ridge Coun-
try club house, at which Mrs. Rae
Parr, n OF the heavyweight young
matrons of the exclusive set, appeared
In a silk bathing costume. Several of
the men ducked Mrs. Parr In a bathtub,
h water In which was concealed by
roses. She took 1t good naturally, but
some of the older guests frowned on the
incident as frivolous. 1t was in Balti-
more, too, that Mrs. Clews, or her way
home from a ball with Harry Lehr,
waded or d~anced-some reports said
one thing. some said another-in a pub
lie fountain.

TO WE'D
MILLIONAIRE WHO
JUST GOT DIVORCE
Frederick Wadsworth, Whose
Wife Has Quit Him, to
Marry the Former
Mrs. Hackett.
York, July 2O.-Friends Of MAJ

New York, July 2O.-Friends OF MAJ
Mannering, former wife of James
racket, are waiting for her to come
east to congratulate her personally
upon the news to the effect hat the
actress Is to become the bride of Fred
erick w. Wadsworth. millionaire, of
Detroit. Unless Miss Mannering re-
turns east soon, they say, congratula-
tions may have to be extended upon
her marriage rather than upon her en-
gagement.
That Miss Mannering was to be mar
ried again had been a great secret and
only q few of her most intimate friends
knew 1t.
The relations that have existed be-
tween Mr.. Wadsworth and his wife for
some time have not been harmonious.
indeed, until last Monday there was a.
divorce suit pending, brought by the
wife. Then the district court at Kala-'
mazoo gave to Mrs. Wadsworth her
freedom and the custody of their
daughter, Helena.
Says He Was Grouchy.
The charges brought against the
man, who, according to those in the
secret, is to mary Miss Mannering,
were that Mr.. Wadsworth was grouchy
and morose and frequently Inundated
the wife by saying she Ibid not have
the brains of a pinhead." In addition,
ne objected to her using the family
auto to take her relatives out riding,
as he said, using 1t as a baggage
car" \
Mr.. wadsworth's troubles are over,
now, and 1t is thought there may be
some formal notice OF his engagement
to the actress. Miss Mannering's
marital troubles were cleared January
10 last, when the court granted her a
divorce from James K. Hackett, and
gave to her the custody Of their s.
year-old daughter.
The Hackett Marriage.
Miss Mannering and Mr.. Hackett
were members Of the Lyceum Theater
company when they we're married in
1897. For IS months the public did
not know of the marriage. 1t was more
than two years ago hat stories Of q
disagreement began to circulate.
Mr.. Wadsworth. 1t is said, has known.
Miss Mannering for several years, hav-
ing met her socially. Their friends
knew that he admired her greatly and
to them the news Of the engagement
will not come as a surprise.
