MRS. NAT GOODWIN
 WANTS LARGE SUM

New York January N.--Justice Golf in Campbell Thompson, lawyer, referee to take testimony in a suit for divorce brought by Edna Goodrich. the actress. against her husband. Nat c. Goodwin, the comedian. The suit promises to be productive of interesting developments, not the least among which will be the bringing out of the story of an alleged a.7oo.ooo pre-nuptial trust deed by which Goodwin turned a big share of his wealth into a trust fund, the revenue from which it was provided should be equally di- vided between the pair during their lives and the principal to the survivor on the death of the other.
 It Is declared that the argument by which all this was converted into the trust fund for the benefit of Miss Good rich was drawn up and sisred while Goodwin was still the husband of his third wife, Maxine Elliott. e.f .-
 Tt is an iron-clad document,' asserted Mrs. Goodwin's attorney, and 1t will be impossible for Goodwin to break 1t. It is not a prenuptia agreement, as such asreemeh are usually considered, for MT. Goodwin. being then the husband of Miss Elliott, was not in position to make q prenuptial agreement with Miss Good rich. The transfer of the pror erty was gift pure and simple" s, The lawyer incidentally declared that the millionaire comedian had plenty of other resources aside from the sum tied up in the trust fund. r Mrs Goodwin is in New York awaiting the trial but her attorney would not disclose her address.

NEW FEATURE IN ao s
 TOLSTOY'S LIFE

St. Petersburg, January N.-(SpecialO-- The strange conclusion of the life of Tol
 stoy still is a fruitful source of discus sion in the Russian capitol. No sooner is there an indication that interest is dying down than there is some strange new turn which brings 1t fresh before the public aagn. tai
 For instance, it now develops that the great philosophers departure from home was no sudden freak, bu, carefully thought out purpose, of many years standing. This is evidenced by a letter just made public by Countess Sofia Andreevna Tol- stoy, which was dated. 13 years ago and superscribed: @rfa
 'Unless I leave directions to the con- trary, this letter is to be handed to s. A. after my death.' It effectually disposes of all speculation as to the motives of Tolstoys flight from Yasnaya Poliana. The letter Is as follows:
 Dear Sonia: Long have I been torment ed by the discord between my life and my beliefs. To compel you all to change your life, the habits to which I myself had accustomed you. l could not; and to leave you ere this I also could not, be- lieving that I would deprive the children while they were little of that small in- fuence which I could have over them,
 and would grieve you; on the other hand, to continue to live as I have lived these 16 years, struggling and irritating you or falling myself under those influences and temptations to which l had become ac- customed and by which am surrounded, I also cannot, and I have now decided to do what I have long wished to do--
 go away-because. first. for me- in my ad- vancing years, this life becomes more and more burdensome and I long more and more for solitude; and, secondly, be-
