JONES GIVES 1T UP.
Wealthy Negro Dismisses Suit Against
Wife No. 1.

Theodore w. Jones today hung out
the flag of truce which may result in
the termination of the Jones familys
domestic difficulties, when the wealthy
Topeka negro walked to the court
house with his attorney and dismissed
the divorce proceedings against Helen
=. Jones, his wife. Judge Dana met
Jones' supplication5 for peace when he
amended the recent restraining order
allowing Jones to occupy one room o.
the pretentious Jones residence on Ty-
Ter street.
When Jones left the district clerk s
office his face bore a broad smile, but
he said it was entirely too early to
make predictions regarding the future
happiness in the household. The feel
ings of Helen c.. were to be considered,
and Jones admitted that Helen is pos
sessed of a mind entirely her own.
However, Jones has entirely changed
his mind regarding Helen, if Theodore S
actions are to be considered as indica-
lions personal feeling.
1t was January 2, 1909, when Jones $
alleged mental anguish concerning his
wife's abuse of loving husband
reached such proportions that he filed
suit for divorce. The divorce suit fol-
lowed a series of actions that involved
the husbands purchase of property on
Governors Square; and his difficulty III

POTASH DISPUTE
HARD TO SETTLE
American Fertilizer Interests Said To
Be Throwing Over Their Con-
tracts, Hoping for Settlement.

washington, d. c., May 23.-From
Berlin dispatches relating to potash
negotiations it appears to those ia
miliar with the situation that the
Bradley and probably other American
fertilizer interests are throwing over
their low price contracts in their haste
to come to terms with the syndicate.
These are the contracts which the
State Department, at the demand of
the fertilizer concerns, has been en-
deavoring to protect against abroga-
ton by the German government.
For the past year it has been repre-
scented that the low price contracts,
the basic one of which was made by
Robert Bradley of Boston, were sacred
obligations, entered into in good faith
and with full knowledge of the risks
taken. These were the contentious of
Bradley both as the maker Of the
original contracts and as chairman on
the committee of American potash
buyers in numerous briefs and letters
to the State Department. Now it ap-
pears that the buyers under these con-
tracts have thrown them over in an
effort to avoid payment of the potash
tax.
So far from settling the potash dis
pute it is predicted that this action
will give rise to a vast amount of liti-
cation between the non-synidicate
mines and the buyers who cast their
lot with the syndicate.
Washington attorneys have been adj
vised in the most positive terms that
the Aschersleben mine, with which the
Bradley contract was made, is prepar-
ing to bring suit to enforce the per-
Torrance of the seven-year agree
ment. About seventy other American
potash buyers have duplicates of the
Bradley contract.
The theory that the easiest way to
avoid the German tax was to abandon
the contracts with non-syndicate
mines, according to opinion here, is
upset by the determination of the
Aschersleben mine to enforce its con-
tract
