Threw Cracker Jar
 At Mrs. WaIIenta
East End Woman Seeking Divorce Charges Husband
 With Intolerable Cruelty

Claiming that her husband threw a cracker jar at her,s ,sand ill-treated her in other ways, Augusta B. Wallenta of 32 Bishop avenue, appeared before Judge Curtis in the Superior court this morning to get divorce from Frank J. Wallenta. The latter was formerly of this city but is now located in Demopo1is, Ala.
 Mrs. Wallenta testified that her hus. band treated her very brutally and finally left her. She said Wallenta beat her and knocked her down. iDr. Nathan T. Pratt of Stratford avenue, testified that he had treated Mrs. Walletna for injuries. The wife wanted the court to allow her $S a week for the support of two children and $4 a week for herself.
 Attorney John J. Phelan raised a unique point in his argument for ali- mony. According to the statutes the wife is entitled to alimony equal to third of his estate. Wa1lenta has no property but Attorney Phelan said the word "estate" in the statutes did not mean only property but also in cluded the mans ability to earn money. He asked the court to or der Wallenta to contribute to the plaintiffs support.
 Judge Curtis took the papers in the case

ImporterS Want Extension on
 Print Paper
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, Nov. 9-The govern ments of Norway and Sweden formal ly asked the United States govern ment today to extend to shippers from those countries the free importation of pulp and print paper now granted to Canada under Section ?, of the act of July 26, 1911, the reciprocity law. This section, which became immediately ef- fective as law when signed by Pres- ident Taft, did not require Canadian concurrence.
 Since the passage of the reciprocity law, the importers have paid under protest" duties levied on print paper brought by them from foreign coun- tries. In that way, they have laid the foundation for suits against the government for the recovery of the customs duties they claim have been collected illegally.
 This will be done unless the govern ment officials admit that paper should come in free from "most favored" na- tions and repay, without protest, the money taken from the importers.
 Users of pulp and print paper hope to bring about practically free trade in these commodities.

BRANDEIS SEES TOBACCO TRUST
 STILL RAMPANT
Special from United Press.)


 Boston. Nov. 9--Declaring that the decision rendered, yesterday, by the circuit court of appeals in New York. approving of the plan submitted by the tobacco trust for = the so-cafled disintegration of the monopoly is the last proof the public needs of ab- Sherman antitrust law, Louis D. Brandeis, peoples lawyer" today, pointed out for the United Press the reasons for his assertion.
 MT. Brandeis pointed out that the plan approved by the New York ju- dietary leaves unimpaired the power of the United Cigar Stores, "the most ing monopoly and crushing compel tion.'' Mir. Brandeis' statement fol- lows:
 (By Louis D. Brandeis.)
 ''The decision rendered in New York, yesterday, by the judges of the circuit court of appeals approving substantially of the plan submitted called disintegration of the trust will, doubtless, remove the last vestige of doubt which the public may have felt as to the necessity of supplement- ing the Sherman antitrust law. "The decision leaves the individual defendantS who nave nefotOIOre QOm- mated the tobacco business and ruth lessly crushed competition in substan- tially the same control of the trade as that which the supreme court de. clared to be illegal. The important companies which are to continue the business, of which one is to have $118,- GOO, 900 in assets and over 4,000, 900 in net earnings, are to be owned by substantially the same stockholders, in substantially the same proportions as the present trust.
 s.The United Cigar Stores, the most potent instrument of the trust for eff fecting monopoly and crushing com petition. is left unimpaired in the same controlling position. The mono- poly of the licorice root, through which the plug tobacco business is controll- ed is left unbroken
 Apparently the court deemed it's self powerless under the Sherman law and the decisions of the supreme court. to prevent situation so utterly at variance with the demands of the people that competition shall be pre- served. A<
 s'The decision is a timely object les- son of the wisdom of the LaFollette anti-trust bill, which seeks to remove in the application of the law, to make it's enforcement easier and it's remedies adequate"

Liouid Dynamite.


 The Mexicans have native brandy called aguardiente. which is a species of liquid dynamite. as palatable as cor rosive sublimate and as full of poten- tial deviltry as an egg is of meat. When you find a Mexican gentleman adorned with a belt full of deadly weapons decorating and deluging his interior with aguardiente it is the part of prudence to retire to bombproof There is another tipple. a white. inno- cent looking fluid called mescal, which is distilled from cactus of the same name, which has in it all the con- bined energy. activity and homicidal possibilities of a volcano mixed up with the gable end of mule. In for mer days the Apache Indians made crude distillation of the same stimu- lant, which they called tis-win, and as a preliminary to a raid among ranches and settlements it was great success from an Indian point of view.-Boston Herald.

Senator Thomas Arnold, IT,, Announces His Intention
 To Combat King Regime
lcont:nued fron page 1.l

''My friends do not demand a denial of the rumors you have printed, for they know my loyalty to the party and my sincerity in the election of Mayor-elect Wilson. No other choice of the convention could have pleased me more, for have had the pleasure of an acquaintance and friendship with the Mayor&elect for a number of years, dating from our school days.
 "A glance at the returns from the Seventh district will give the lie to the stories. of your informants, and most skeptical and should convince my cowardly enemies. The district has repudiated the claims of the lead CTS who would attempt through treachery to belittle the strength of my friends in accomplishing that which predicted to MT. Stevenson. a close friend and a law partner of the Mayor-elect, that the Seventh district would make a better showing than any for Wilson.
 tiring from politics, but the organiza- tion has thrown down the gauntlet and circumstances compel me to ap- for toward movement for square deal. I am still waiting for an ex- planation of the affair from Mr. Far we'll, the Town chairman, and expect that in justice to me he will state his reasons for removing me as district chairman.
 When he decided to do so?
 'Who suggested it?
 'Why he waited until 5:45 election morning to play tn meanest and most cowardly political trick imaginable.
 My Republicanism is as staunch and consistent as any mans in the party and much more so than is the Republicanism practiced and preached by most of the leaders.
 "Who of the present leaders worked against Paige? Who of the present leaders approached me tc enlist me in their. fight against Ex-Mayor Lee, and got his answer?
 "Who of the present leaders .bolted the caucus when an Alderman?
 My political skirts are absolutely snow white. No man living in the city, citizen or not, heard me say one word that would suggest Or intimate that I desired the result to be dif- ferent than it has been, except that the whole ticket would have pleased me still more. I was for Wilson. I have every confidence in him and wish him success.
 "I might say in conclusion that I used every influence on any man whom I knew to be a friend of mine to vote for Wilson.

Good Money Arrsr Bad.

lt 1S curious fact that many men, level headed enough about other things, seem to lose their wits entirely when they become involved in law suits. In one case recently concluded in the German courts a Berlin mer- chant paid out over $500 to recover the value of five cent postage stamp. He had written a letter asking for an address and inclosing postage for re- ply. Failing to get an answer, he sued for the stamp.
 The famous Missouri watermelon case was just as trifing and even more disastrous. The seed was planted on one farm. but the vine crept through crack in the rail fence, and the melon grew on the other side. Both farmers claimed 1t, and instead of perceiving the humor of the situation they went to law. To add to the puzzling features of the question of ownership there was the further complication in that the fence stood on a county line, whereupon a Ques- ton of the jurisdiction of the courts came up. The farmers bankrupted themselves without obtaining a de. cision as to the ownership.-Green Bag.
