striking novelties. prominent among

"Yama Yama Man" and THE Myster-
ious Face" the latter a genuine SEN
sation.
Briefly stated the story OF the
Three Twins" is founded on the
confusion of everyone as to the iden-
tity of three persons who look exact
ly alike Two of them are twin broth
ers, who have been lost to each other
for years, and the third is person,
who decides to impersonate photo
graph of one of them in order to win
the consent of his dyspeptic father to
his marriage to the girl of his choice
AS none of the twins or the characters
know of the existence of the three
twins, incongruous and ludicrous sit
uations galore are developed.

SINCLAIR SUES HIS WIFE
With Her and the Correspondent He
Discusses Utopia.

New York, Aug. 29.-The marital
difficulties Of Upton Sinclair. the ITO
plan colonist and socialist author, and
Meta Fuller Sinclair, who have been
married IL years, reached climax
yesterday, when the author brought
suit for absolute disvorce, naming
Harry Kemp. poet, as correspond
ent. The only grounds upon which
absolute divorce may be granted in
New York state are statutory.
While the papers were being pre-
pared by Mr.. Sinclair's attorney for
service upon the wife yesterday she
and her husband and the co-respon-
dent poet sat in the assemblyroom
of hotel and quietly discussed with
reporters the problem OF marital re-
lations and Utopia in general. There
was nothing in the manner OF any one
of the three to intimate that their re-
lations were so strained that the law
was being invoked to settle their
personal difficulties. Indeed, the au-
thor and his wife frequently address
ed each other in endearing terms and
in most matter-of-fact way Mr.. Sin
clair told his wife that his attorney
would call later in the day, as he did
so, with the formal papers.
Mrs. Sinclair said it was her pres
ent intention not TO defend the suit.
81 have the misfortune" she said,
ito have a very conservative husband.
He is conservative by instinct and
nature and radical merely by choice
A monogamist ought to be able to act
the part of a husband; in other words
he ought to have some time to devote
to his wife. He should not be SO alb
sorbed in his work that the true pro
portions of human relationship fade
into insignIfcance beside his work. In
other words, husband who is a mon
ogamist by nature ought TO be able to
occupy the attention of his wife so
that there should be none OF this at
tention Of her left for other men.
Again an essential monogamist ought
not to be so overdeyeloped intellectu'
ally that the rest of his nature suffers
in consequence"

COMBINE RAILROAD SHOPS
Delaware & Hudson May Turn over
Business to Rutland.

Rutland, Aug. 29.-There is a ru-
NOR in circulation to the effect that
there are plans under way to com
bine the Delaware & Hudson and the
Rutland railroad shops and Offices in
Rutland, the Rutland road to take
over the business of the other com
pany doing its work for it.
On large part of the work COM
blned arrangement is now in force so
the talked of change would appear to
be logical one as the Rutland road
is cramped for room in Its yard and
the combination would eliminate the
Delaware & Hudson shops in the
cradle space for other purposes.

he had seen Cowan there once in an
intoxicated condition. On this oc-
casion he claimed that Cowan had
been brought into the hotel late at
night and was then drunk. He also
said that the condition of the room
was such to lead him to believe that
there had been drinking going on.
He also referred to more or less
noise in Cowan's room. Gill also tes-
titled that on one occasion in Febru-
ary 1910, he had seen Cowan intoxi-
Gated in Gilbertson's store at Devils
Lake.
On cross-examination Gill said
that he did not know as a matter Of
fact whether there had been any
drinking in the room. At the supper
hour he said Cowan and others had
gone into the dining room. but he
said he had not taken particular
pains to notice whether Cowan was
intoxicated, although he believed that
the party had been drinking. That
night about IL o'clock he had seen
Cowan and Taylor coming up the
stairway and said Taylor was assist
ing Cowan by holding his arm. He
said that some one had vomited In
the room during the night or the
next morning and that during the
forenoon, before Cowan left. five or
six men had gone into the room
where Cowan was.
Gill also gave further testimony

In making objections to the. ques-
tioning Of the witness by Counsel
George Bangs. Tracy Bangs declared
that the witness had been led on and
that statements were being brought
out that had no bearing on the case.
George Bangs suggested that perhaps
he might get chart and diagram
just what the defense evidence would
have upon the general proposition of
intoxication. The objection was not
sustained. The witness was repeatedly
urged to make his statements briefer.
He replied to the question as to his
opinion of the condition Of the Judge
at that time that he was under the
influence of Intoxicating liquors" !"

and the little vaudeville sketch

Cross-examined by E. T. Cuthbert,
Burr said he had acted in the capacity
Of Salvation Army captain at Devils

such at the time Of the incident. More
or less questioning as to. conditions

fair was resorted to-, and the witness

ment. Nothing Cowan said had made
him believe that he was intoxicated,
although at the time he said he be-
lieved Cowan had been talking fool
ishly. He now thought differently in
view Of his opinion as to the law of
evidence that was being discussed by
Judge Cowan. He also spoke Of his
face being florid. but he could not
testify what kind. The witness was
asked to look at Judge Cowan and
reply whether or not his face was
not then dorid and witness agreed
that It was. As to the manner of talk
ing, Burr was asked whether or not
his tone and manner was not much
the same as that of any other persons
In Devils Lake at the time. WELL"
replied the witness. II have seen
yourself talking that way. When the
cross-examination was concluded. the
witness was asked by Counsel George
Bangs whether or not Attorney Cuth-

had been arrested, but before the an
swer was given Cuthbert asked Bangs
why he had not directed the question

side Of the line at various dates. The
figures published by the Herald prove
the Pioneer-Express prices to be cor
rect, allowing for the difference be-
tween the actual and the quoted prices
between Winnipeg and Port Arthur.
The recent speech of Senator Nc
Cumber In the United States senate
goes very exhaustively into the same
figures with full tables and explana-
tions.
The further editorial argument OF
the Herald In the same article, that
laws of Manitoba prevent certain
sorts Of trade in wheat, only proves
that II the barrier of the tariff were
thrown down that the Manitoba
farmers would all the more certainl,
send their grain to markets where nc
such restrictions exist, If that is what
makes the difference in prices.
Renders Of the Herald may put their
own construction as to the manner in
which that paper has .misrepresented
the facts, but everybody will agree
that under any supposition, it was Ger.
tainly a bungle, utterly inexcusable
from newspaper point Of view.
