NEWSP APER WINS
IN DAMAGE SUIT
Jury Decides Against Mrs. Ten
ney, Who Sued News Leader
for $4,000.

Mrs. Emma s. Tenncy. who recently
secured a separation from her husband,
George Q. Tenney, president Of the At
lantic Bitulithic Company. yesterday
lost her suit for $4,000 damages
against the News Leader Company. The
case WAS tried in the Law and Equity
Court. the jury rendering verdict for
the defendant Mrs. Tenncy was repre-
scented by William l. Royal "A
The Tenney divorce proceedings have
been the subject of much discussion
and newspaper publicity for some time
past. Mrs. Tenney first sued her hus-
band In the Chancery Court for sepa-
ration. later amending the bin to ask
for divorce, with alimony. MIR Tenney
answered through Attorney L. O. Wen

Soree. At the time the bill was filed
In tina; case. Judge Grinnan, OF the
Chancery Court, directed that 1t should
not be made public, as innocent names
might be involved. The paper was
later made public. On the afternoon
the bill was filed the News Leader
printed a synopsis of the charges made
by Nj, Tenney against his wife, and
went on TO indicate that probably the
names OF several Richmond people
would be put forward as correspond
cnts.
When the suit came to trial the only
names brought in were those Of Major
Il. c. Gordon. OF Alabama. and J. G..
Tyler of Baltimore. formerly manag er
of the Gaiety Theatre. in this city. In
the final argument of the case, counsel
for MIR. Tenney made reference to sew
era1 alleged indlscretions on the part
OF Mrs. Tenney. Judge Grinnan heard
her suit and that of her husband at
one time, granting her divorce from
bed and board, and reserving for future
determination the questions OF alimony
and counsel fees. Mrs. Tenney alleged
In her suit that the News Leader gross
~ exaggerated the charges made By her
husband, the truth of which charges
she specifically denied. Judge ingram
instructed tho jury that the court rec
ords were proper subjects OF publica-
tion, and that no malice had been
shown in the publication against which
complaint was made.

WILL PUT CANNON

Big Guns to Overlook James.
Council to Consider
Proposition.

In order that the incoming traveller
from all directions save the North mas.
he reminded upon his arrival Of The
military history OF Richmond. il IS
planned to place obsolete cannon in
each of the three parks which over
look the James. This is dependent
upon the cost of transportation and
location, which, 1t is understood. will
be small. I
Major T. NJ. wortham. commander
of the Virginia field artillery has re-
Gently been considering the matter
in view OF the fact that many small
towns over the country are securing
discarded cannon from the United
states government while this city has
none He has taken the matter up
with Mayor Richardson. and the latter
VIII present the proposition. together
With such information MS he can So
cure on the subject to the Grounds
and Buildings Committee OF the city
Council at its next meeting. The
cannon always prove objects of in
tcrest to park visitors and add TO such
places. !Ht
Easy TO Secure.
Both Mayor Richardson and Major
WORKMAN believe that no trouble will
be experienced in getting the guns,
- "hs al = AZ tHlS tlnlc at the dis
posal of the government Probably
n word from Representative James
Hay. Of the Seventh Virginia District,
who is chairman of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. would be
sufficient to insure as many cannon
as are asked for. Major Wortham ha $
already secured information on the
subject. ~
II Is the idea Of the Mayor that
twenty to twenty-five of these guns
might be placed on Chimborazo Libby
Hill and CANDLES Hill Parks, over
looking the river. All Of these parks
are on heights far above the river
bed and visible from any bridge, and
the protruding cannon would make an
Imposing appearance. They naturally
resemble fortified spots.
The understanding is that the city
or town receiving the guns must pay
the freight and the expense OF installa
tion. Should the Grounds and Build
inSs Committee look at the proposition
favcrably, probably but short time
will elapse before the guns are re-
celved.
No especial historic Significance
would attach TO the cannon. In fact.
It is unlikely that any which date
further back than the Spanish Amer
lean War are available at this time.

When oil was discovered in the vicinity of Los Angeles, Mrs Sum mers had in the bank $7OO earned by teaching music. She put this, and like amount furnished by another. into an oi-well And it went in so deep she doubted ever getting 1t out.
