FOR NOT BEING IN COURT
Defendant In Divorce Suit Makes Up
In Width and Weight For
Her Height.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. c..-As a
reason for not appearing in court In a
divorce suit brought against her, Mrs.
Ysabel Andrini made affidavit that sh e
was too fat to come.
"My husband was only peevish. and
did not realize what he was doing
when he filed this suit" she stated in
her affidavit. Then she requested the
Judge not to annoy her by forcing her
into court, as she was only feet 2
inches in height, but weighs more than
800 pounds.
Dominica Andrini, the husband, Is a
prosperous looking business man OF
SO, who says his health has been un'
dermined by his wife's cruelty. He
says they were married more than 80
years ago, and that soon afterward his
wife became imbued with the new
woman" ideas.
She assumed charge OF all family az
fairs, the husband averred, and when
he protested he was driven out into
the woodshed The husband says the
limit OF endurance was reached when
she took to reproving him with Sec
ton OF garden hose. He also claims
his health has suffered from the many
times he has been forced to bivouac
in the back yard. He asks for $500 a

BAY CITY, Mich. Sept. 22.-Sixty
girls employed by the Columbia Man
ufacturing Co., making shirt waists,

here. The young women have decided
TO organize and ask for charter from
the garment workers. Once organ
lied they say they will try to induce
the two hundred or more girls en-
ployed by the Worlds Star Knitting
Co. to join their ranks.
1t seems that the Columbia Co., EN-
ployes had been given a bonus of
ten per cent, but II was decided to cut
this off this week. The girls protest

FAKE HAIR PAD SAVES
THE LIFE OF A TEACHER
Rat Breaks Force Of Bad Fall
and Prevents Fracture Of Her
Skull, Says Physician

BENSON, Neb., Sept 2i.-Dame
Fashion, charged with making women
unsightly at times, is occasionally of
invaluable service to her devotees.
Miss Mary Brownell, young school
teacher of this town, owes her life to
rats-not those that inhabit cellars
and grain bins, but the kind worn on
the head.
While walking along the street Miss
Brownell stepped upon a banana peel
and instantly her feet went from un-
der her. Failing. she struck the back
of her head upon the concrete side
walk and the men who hurried TO her
assistance, one of them doctor, ex-
pected to find her with a fractured
skull. Instead she laughingly arose.
remarking:
That's once that rat saved a wo-
mans life
The doctor who was present and
was witness to the fall says that had
II not been for the fact that Miss
Brownell wore very large wire rat
on the back of her head her skull
would have been split open and she
would probably have been instantly
killed.

CANADIANS FLOCK
. TO BIC FAIR TODAY
Trainloads of Residents of Dominion
In Acknowledgements Flight
To Windsor Cancelled.

Canadians came to the State Fair
today In large numbers, every train
arriving from the western part OF On
tario, as far east as London, being
loaded with visitors. The day was
set apart by the management of the
exhibition for the people OF the Do
minion. Detroit Is sort Of magnet
for the Canadians, and they generally
take advantage Of every opportunity
to visit the city. They also know a
good fair when they see 1t, too, most
OF them having seen the famous To-
ronto exhibition number OF times.
and their judgment is worth some
thing when II comes to passing on
live stock and agricultural exhibits.
They made a close inspection OF the
exhibits In all the departments at the
Michigan fair, and 1t was evident at
all times that they were well pleased
with what they saw.
The Canadians, however, didn't
monopolize the fair by any means.
There were many trainloads OF peo-
pie from out In the state, and the
near half-million population OF De-
troit was pretty well represented.
There were Upwards OF 10000 people
on hand by noon, and the officials
said that they looked for upwards OF
10000 by night. There Is an unusual
ly good program of races for the af-
ternoon, and they are expected to at
tract large number OF horsemen.
Among the fast steppers TO compete
are The Eel and Darkey Hal, both
owned In Canada.
The Windsor people who expected
to see Archie Hoxsey, the aviator, fly
over their heads in their home city
today, as announced by the manage
ment of the fair. will be disappointed,
for Welch tombstone, who is making
flights with Mr.. Hoxsey told The
Times that the trans-river trip would
not be made.
I'VE have orders from the Wrights,
whose machine we are using, not to
do any fancy flying" said Mr.. john
stone, and there will be no trip made
to Windsor or anywhere else. am
sorry the Canadians will be disap-
pointed, but 1t Is no fault OF ours.
We must abide by the orders Of those
whom we represent"
Mr.. tombstone. according to the
program Of the fair, was to meet Mr..
Hoxsey as he returned to this side Of
the river from Windsor. and escort
him back to the fair grounds.
Both aviators made successful
flights at the fair ground on We'd
nesday. tombstone went up In q IL
mile breze early In the afternoon.
while Hoxsey made his ascent at the
end OF the horse races, About $50.
Miss Corceo, who IL doing an aero
plane stunt In one of the local the
aters this week, expressed desire
to make flight with either OF the
aviators, but both declined to take
her along, stating 1t would be against
the rules Of their contracts to take
a passenger with them.

ROOSEVELT MEN WIN IN
BARNES HOME DISTRICT
Timothy L. Woodruff, Machine Lead
or. Blames Lack Of Leadership
for Progressive Victory.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Old
guard leaders who are fighting for
control of the Republican state con-
vention In Saratoga next week were
admittedly surprised today when the
news reached them that the support
ers of Col Roosevelt had carried the
Schenectady county Republican con-
vention, and had instructed Its dele
gates TO the state convention to sup
port Col. Roosevelt for temporary
chairman, and to favor direct prim'
aries.
Schenectady and Albany counties
sional district, which Is represented
on the Republican state committee by
William Barnes, Jr., one OF the most
aggressive of the old guard leaders,
and hitherto regarded as invincible.
The defeat at the primaries OF Vice
President Sherman. the old guard
candidate for temporary chairman OF
the state convention In his home dis
trict in Oneida county, was not alto
gether unexpected, but the loss Of
Schenectady county today was sur
prise even to the progressives here
Timothy l.. Woodruff, chairman oi
the Republican state committee, ex
pressed surprise at the action or the
Schenectady convention, inasmuch as
he had been assured last night that
the organization OF forces had been
successful in the primaries.
II attribute the result to lack OF 10
cal leadership in the county" said
Mr.. Woodruff. 1T narrows the contest
and will make II more interesting.
Taking Mr.. Barnes figures as a basis,
| still believe Vice-President Sherman
will be elected to the temporary chair
manship by at least 10 to 20 majority
| think those who have taken a stand
for Mr.. Shermans election will not re-
treat from their position"
Estimates of the old guard made to-
day, before the Schenectady returns,
gave Mr.. Sherman GAL of the 1,015
delegates. After the returns the pro-
gressives went over the list and fg-
ured out that Col. Roosevelt would
have 529 votes In the convention
486 for Vice-President Sherman.

and the feeling became very bitter.
The wives OF the pair met last Mon

seeking to array section against sec
ton. AS for myself, repel the asper-
sion.
The iron mines of Michigan, II the
records are not at-fault, have for a
long series of years borne yearly a
less valuation than the value OF their
annual product. The combined pro.
duct OF our mines of iron and copper
was approximately $25,O00,OO0 in ex-
cess of the gross operating revenue OF
all our railways. They produced this
with less labor than that employed
by the railroads, and yet they bore
but little more than one-third OF
their public burden.
More than 60 per cent OF all the
iron mined in Michigan is the pro-
duct of the operations of the Oliver
Iron Mining Co., a subsidiary OF the
United States Steel corporation.
do not mention this fact to urge dis
elimination against it, but | do insist
that It's character should not be the
occasion for discrimination in its
favor as against the railways which
contribute SO much to the progress
and prosperity of the state.
Mines vary likewise in the hard
ness of rock. the amount of water to
be contended with, and numerous
other factors that enter into the cost
of production, and which to my mind
would make inequitable the applica-
ton of a material tonnage tax, at least
until an honest effort for the appraise-
ment of mines has been made and
failed.
1.-The mining properties of Michigan
are so vast and extensive, the tempta-
-tion to differentiation by local super
visors SO potent, that their valuation
should be fixed by a non-partlsan and
expert body which could be brought
into existence, whose findings would
be just and equitable, and which local
supervisors and apportioning bodies
should by law be compelled to &C

PROSECUTION MAKES POOR

Chairman Announces No Evidence
Has Been Offered TO Prove Serious
Charges Against police Chief.

CLEVELAND, o., June when
the prosecution rested its case against
Chief of Police Kohler late yesterday
afternoon Chairman Holding an
nounced that the defense need intro
duce no evidence to disprove the
charges from 13 to 20 inclusive, as
the prosecution had offered no evil.
dence TO support them.
In a general way these charges COW
er practically all OF the serious accusa-
tons of immortality, consorting with
married women, and using improper
language in his instructions to the po-
lice force. Practically the only re-
naming charge supported by evidence
Is that of drunkenness and associat-
ing with women of the tenderloin.
With several witnesses from the
tenderloin waiting to testify, the
prosecution closed its case.
Chief Prosecutor Dawley had been
in evident bad humor all afternoon
because OF his unsuccessful efforts 10

Holding ruled improper.
Finally when a witness was called

legged misconduct after the charges
had been filed, Chairman Holding
ruled out his evidence and the prose

mutation rates have driven many Jer-
seyites TO the trolleys. but this mode
of transportation Is likely to lose
favor, too. If few more cows ram
trolley cars head on, as did one on
the outskirts of Paterson. The COW
wasn't damaged much but the conduc-
tor, Michael Freeman. had a pretty
badly injured leg, and the car was
minus a good deal of paint.
Freeman was In charge OF Hudson
River line car which was going
through the woods at haywood just
after dark. He got down on the run
ming board to collect his fares, when
a host-like shape came plunging down
the fields and over the fence.
To Freeman the shape looked like
the "banshee" 1t wasn't, II was mere
ly a COW who had been vanguished in
a fight with a few mosquitoes and was
grieving about II.
The COW struck the car amidships,
just where Freeman was standing. He
went off the running board in a heap,
and the cow was flung clean over him.
Freeman was not hurt much. the
passengers lifted him on the car
again and II was run down to the
Paterson station. where DR.. Wallace
found that he was painfully bruised
and cut.
The COW was last seen headed due
south and still running.
