GOODWIN G|vESD|NNER
CELEBRATING DIVORCE
Spoiled Thanksgiving Feast
Said to Have Been Re-
sponsib|e for Suit.

NEW YORK, December N.-Nat Good
win, actor and late partner in the mining
stock firm Of B. H. Scheftels & Co., re-
Gently defunct. has been served again in
a suit for divorce. The complainant is
Edna Goodrich, who was the fourth Mrs.
Goodwin
Although Mr.. Goodwin knew several
days ago that the suit was instituted he
avoided admitting it until the facts be-
came known through friends who were
present at a recent dinner given by Mr..
Goodwin to a select few in commemora-
ton of the incident.
The genial Nat called it a "Fourtlls
service dinner,' and the invitations,
which he sent to a dozen or SO in
Inmates, were so inscribed.
A Spoiled Thanksgiving Dinner.
The incident that led to the institution
of the divorce suit, it was learned last
night, occurred I'm Toronto, Canada. last
Thanksgiving day. A friend OF Miss
Goodrich tells the story as follows:
Mr.. Goodwin had gone to Toronto sew
eral days previous to the holiday to
avoid unpleasant interviews on the SUBJ
ject Of his connection with the mine pro-
noting firm of which Graham Rice was
the active partner. He had secluded
himself to a certain extent and had writ
ten letters to his wife which indicated
that he was bored to death at having
to remain so long away from New York
Miss Goodrich sympathized with her
husbands frame of mind and decided to
give him pleasant surprise. She pre-
pared an old shioned Thanksgiving day
dinner. She roasted the turkey, and with
her own fair hands made pumpkin
pie, seasoned just as she knew Nat liked
it. There were cranberry jelly. too. all
aquiver, and other little delicacies OF
which she knew her husband was fond
Her Arrival Vnannounced.
Packing all these good things in a
basket, Miss Goodrich. accompanied by
a maid, boarded a train that set her
down in Toronto Thanksgiving eve. She
rived at Mr.. Goodwin's hotel unan-
nounced. She went to the door Of the
actors suite and knocked.
What she discovered when the door was
opened has not yet become known except
to her most trusted friends. 1t Is all
in the papers in the case. which are in
Roth of 14O2 Broadway. Miss Goodrich
returned to New York next morning and
at once instituted her suit

merous disorders occurring in the United
States during the same period. peace and

made by Gen. G. X. Edwards. chief of
the bureau of insular affairs. in his an
nual report to the Secretary of War.
made public today While no reduction
has been made in the number of United

no call upon them has been necessary or

Extension of Commerce.
Gen. Edwards says that the CONNER

that the establishment of free trade te

OtdteS HAS dlUeQ greatly III the material
development of the islands In both i'm
ports and exports the values recorded far
exceeded those OF any previous year. Inn
ports amounted to All ,U6I $50. and were
s9,215.2:ii in excess OF those OIL 1909, while
there was an increase of SS,S7O,6U6 in the
export total of 500, S64, 1863 for 1910. In
both branches of the trade the United
States was credited with the larger part
Of these increases, imports of American
goods more than doubling in value, and
exports increasing more than 80 per cent.
The effect of free trade on exports was
shown in higher prices for sugar and
greatly increased production of cigars
TO meet the demands of the newly opened
American market. The price of sugar
increased from an average of 1S cents
per pound in 1909 to 21s cents. with the
years trade showing an increase in value
of over two and a half million dollars.
The market was largely shifted from
China and HongkOng TO the United
States. and American purchases were
92.66S tons of the total of 1858 tons
exported during the year, or slightly less
than a third of the annual quantity
granted free entry under the free trade
limitation. Exports of cigars increased
from 11J,9I7,OOO to 1876, 1872, COO, Of which
81, 931 600, or somewhat more than half
of the quantity fixed for free admission,
found an American market. The aggre-
gate trade of other countries remained
practically the same.

For Future Legislation.

In its report the board made a number
OF recommendations to the President in
regard to future legislation for the recla-
nation of arid lands. These have re-
ceived the approval of the President also.
and he will send message to Congress
when 1t reconvenes after the holidays
urging that the recommendations be
enacted into law.

The board further recommends that
the $OUU,0D he expended within the
next five years, and that the interest on
the loan, as provided by said act. be
charged against the projects on the
amounts contributed for their completion.
For the following existing reclamation
projects the board did not recommend
any allotment of the S2OUUU,OUO provided
by the act:

Praises Ability of Employees.

In its inspection the board was i'm
pressed with the ability of the employees
occupying positions of responsibility. and
desires to record its appreciation of the
assistance rendered by them.
twenty-five projects have been under
taken which involve. including extern
sions, the irrigation of 100000 acres OF
arid or semi-arid land at cost approx
imately estimated at S145,OOO.OO0. About
$50. 600 has been expended to date.
and about 600. 900 acres are now receiving
water. Only part of this area has been
formally opened, the remainder receiving
water from the reclamation service on a
rental basis or through private canals
not yet absorbed in the projects.
THE reclamation fund to date aggre-
gates x65, 100000. which includes 1854 39i

count of repayment of building charges.
The accretions to the reclamation fund
during the next four years as estimated
by the reclamation service are as fol-
lows:

Less Exportat1on OF Leaf Tobacco.
Leaf tobacco was the only one Of the
five great export staples in which there
was reduced trade. Leaf exports were
1,I1.S4o pounds less. but were sold at a
higher price per pound-results clearly
traceable to the greatly increased local
demand in the cigar industry. The Ameri-
can trade centered in the manufactured
product, and with exports Of Philippine
cigars to the United States valued at
H,9O6. al, American purchases of Philip
pine leaf under free trade amounted to
but $2.176.
Gen. Edwards recommends the pas
sage of several bills pending in Con-
gress designed for the better economi-
cal development Of the Philippines. in

of bonded Indebtedness for public i'm

Hemp Prices Remain Low.

The low level of hemp prices reached
in 1909 continued. and the average for
the year was slightly lower, but a new
record in the quantity exported-16S,O0 $50
tons-explains an increased export value
of a million and a half dollars. The
British hemp trade remained about the
same and practically all of the increased
output was shipped to the United States,
whose purchases amounted to ten million
of a seventeen million-dollar total. In the
copra trade an increased quantity COM
bined with rising prices resulted in a
two-and-a-half- milliOn-dollar increase in
the ne-million- dollar total.

SAVED OLD lADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
numor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding Of her head was
ove and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cure Soap and Ointment FOR the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of s~eventy-four.
My W case was an eczema In my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
anne my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought l would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. l did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

FOUR KILLED ON KANSAS FARM
AN ENTIRE FAMILY SLAIN NEAR
OLATHE.
An Aged Woman, Her Son and Two
Other Men Victims-Robbery
Supposed Cause.

Olathe, Kansas.-Tho accumulation
Bernhart farm in Johnson county,
Kansas, II miles northeast of Olathe,
and the subsequent investigations Of
Earl Grey, the rural letter carrier, led
70 the revelation of the most atrocious
crime in the annals of Johnson couns
ty, when the initiated bodies of Mrs.
Emeline Bernhart, her son, George
Bernhart; =. :. Morgan, a young man
who was staying at the farm while
hunting and trapping, and an unidenti-
fled farmland, who had been at work
on the farm for several weeks, were
found by w. G. Holmes, G. W. KnOche
and ]. c. Christesson, ~neighboring
farmers, on the Bernhsrt premises
The unidentified man is supposed to
be Russell Fisk of Rosodalc, Kan.
The bodies of the three men, their
features crushed almost beyond m.
man semblanrc. were found partly
severed with straw in a stall in the
barn, where Il terrific struggle evil
IDENTIFY had taken place. In a little
storeroom leading off from the Up
stairs bedrooms in the farm house,
and giving access to the attic, was
found the crushed form of the aged
woman, who apparently had sought
refuge in this secluded nook, only 10
meet death like a rat in a hole.
Virtually every indication points to
robbery as the motive for the crime,
although there has been some rumor
of revenge on the part of a former
hired hand, who was said to have had
trouble because of money matters.
The ~neighbors. however, hold to the
robbery theory because of the fact
that for many years it had been
rumored that the family kept large
sums of money about the house. Botl
Mrs. Bernhart and her son were re-
puted to be wealthy, and, being dis
trustful of the banks, whore said to
keek their money in a secret hiding
place about the house.
