SAYS THAT SHE IS LOONY.
Cavalieri Asserts Her Affair With
Chanler Has Made Her So.

Paris, Oct. 11.-'Tm loony now
This statement was made by Nine.
Lima Cavalieri in an interview today.
In talking of her troubles with her hus-
band Robert w. Chanler. the signing
of the ante-nuptial contract and Chan
ler's flight to New York, the singer eX-
claimed @Je men four This is a
French idiom and could very properly
be translated into English as Il myself
am loony,'' or I'm loony now
The expression used by Cavalieri
shows that the phrase, who's loony
now?" used by John Armstrong Chalo-
ner, when he sent a telegram to his
brother, Sheriff Bob has reached
Paris. John Armstrong Chaloner i'm
piled in his telegram that his brother
was "loony.' But Cavalier takes an
opposite view of the question and says
she is the one particular person to be
so styled.
These are the reasons she gives in
the Paris interview for her belief that
she's the one who is "loony';
4 am the one that ought to be call
ed 'loony' because, while everyone
thought 1 had gained a fortune from
Mr.. Robert w. Chanler, L never even
got one penny from him.

LIQUOR TO BLAME.
Warden COdding Discusses What
Lands Men in Prison.

Warden ]. X. Codding of the Kansas
penitentiary at Lansing says in his BIZ
ennial report that the use of liquor is
the direct or contributing cause of 796
men being confined in the penitentiary.
In the last two years S52 persons were
received. Reports relating to the use
of liquor were obtained from S21 of
the new prisoners. OF this number
$50 said that the use of liquor had a
bearing or was a contributing cause OF
their crime and 221 said that liquor
was the direct cause.
OF the total number received at the
prison it is shown that $50 were with
out home influences at the time their
crimes were committed, while fifty-five
lived at home. The others refused to
say anything about their homes be
cause of the disgrace.
The report shows that 366 men in
the prison are married and that 216
now have wives, fifty-six wives having
died and thirty-four having obtained
diorces. There are 469 children with
fathers or mothers in the penitentiary.
In his report to the directors, War
den Codding says that to stop insanity
and the spread of tuberculosis half
hour holiday was given each prisoner
employed indoors. He shows that
there have been no new tuberculosis
cases since the plan was adopted six
months ago In the recommendations
of the directors the Legislature is urged
to remodel two of the cell houses and
to build a hospital for the criminal in
sane It is urged also that the war
denis salary be increased to $4,000 a
wear.

SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS.
Burning of Telephone Pole Left West
Side Electricity Users in Darkness.

The burning of a telephone pole at
Sixth and Clay streets at s O'Clock
Monday evening threw the west end
residence district into darkness for
more than two hours-that is, the part
of it that depended on Edison electric
lights.
Before the fire department reached
the blaze, the electric fuses had been
burned out and the district lying west
of Clay street was without lights. A
force of men were sent from the Edi-
son electrical offices, but it was nearly
10 o'clock before connections were re-
stored and lights turned on.
The Edison company stated this
morning that they could not estimate
the damage resultant from the little
blaze. The greatest damage was the
inconvenience suffered by individual
patrons of the company, many of
whom found it necessary to adjourn
the evening family visit and feel their
way to bed in the dark

AN ARDENT LOVER
Esther Quinn Tells of Acquain'
lance With Professor Peck.
Dictated to Her Articles En-
titled MAN and Woman.

New York, Oct. lit was while
Prof. Harry Thurston Peck was writ
ing articles for New York newspaper
entitled Man and Woman" that
Esther Quinn met him. according to
her testimony at the examination pre-
Iiminary to the trial of her $4,000
breach of promise suit
The examination was conducted in
the office of her attorney. Daniel
O'Reilly, in the Pulitzer Building. c.
D. Francis represented Professor Peck.
Miss Quinn, in a simple blue gown,
with white suede gloves, wearing a
blue turban hat and closely yelled,
walked into the office jauntily. That
her business training had brought con-
fidence was apparent in her manner.
She testified that in 1899 she was en-
ployed as a stenographer on a New
York paper. At that time the form er
Columbia professor was contributing
articles under the name of 'Rafford
Pike" Miss Quinn took dictation from
the Latin scholar. He told her his ar
ticles were such that he could not put
his own name to them, said Miss
Quinn. She never did stenographic
work for Professor Peck, taking dicta-
ton directly on the typewriter.
Mr.. Shaw asked Miss Quinn where
she ate when employed as a stenog-
rapher and she replied that she usually
went to Child'S restaurant. When
asked if she had ever been at the Abb
baye, she said she had never heard of
it, She denied having eaten at Wolf S.
the college Inn" the German Inn and
Jacks.
The close questioning of Mr.. Shaw
slightly riled Mr.. O'Reilly, who sug-
gested that Miss Quinn be asked if she
had ever frequented Kid McCoy's,
whereupon Mr.. Shaw complied with the
request. Miss Quinn answered that she
had not and said that the only Broad
way restaurants she had eaten in were
Martins, where she went once with
Professor Peck. AS to drinks, Miss
Quinn said she took tea and coffee and
had never taken cocoa. She said she
did not smoke cigarettes. The nearest
she ever got to one was when the pro-
fessor's smoke blew her way.
Peck popped the question September
Is, 1908, in the sitting room of her
apartments, she said. She had loved
him a long time and saw no reason
why she should not accept. So she did
accept. She knew he was divorced and
had a daughter.
''I idoIized DIR. Peck and saw no rea-
son why I should not accept him." she
asserted. HE obtained all my affec-
tons; I gave him my whole life
didn't feel I was doing anything
wrong"
