MINISTER FILES \
 SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Says He Spent Half of His Time Pacifying His
 Wife

1 Atlanta, November 17.-Rev. Benjamin | Graham, recently pastor of the St. James church of this city, simultaneously with tho acceptance of his resignation from the Georgia conference today filed suit for Lorah Harris Graham. Tn the petition the minister alleges cruelty. neglect. fear Of bodily harm to himself and child ren, unwairanted jealousy of his own children and of all the women in his parish, which often, it is contended, cul- inmates in wild tantrums of jealous rage.l embarrassing to himself and to his church."
 In statement issued shortly after the | filing of his divorce petition MT. Grahsm goes into minute detail regarding his marital troubles. He says that before his marriage his wife was a school teacher 1 for II years This he believes is the cause for her unusual feeling toward his chilu- ren.
 My wife is child hater.' he says, 1 '.and although ! have not believed in di- volce, I now find that it is the only thing possible for the sake of my children" l Mr. Graham states that he and his wife have been married 20 months and in that time he has been compelled to spend one quarter of his entire time attempting to calm his wife in her jealouses and restoring peace in his household.
 His two children. a boy of Il years and a girl of years, are by former mar riage. he said.
 Any attention shown the children brought on spasm on the part of my wife, Graham states. Tn the morning if kissed my little girl my wife would fly into q tantrum. Sometimes it would be | days before she would speak to me- She declared that when I kissed my own child she felt exactly as If it were kissing | another woman. l would pass dish to l one of the children at meal and some l times she would rush screaming into the yard of the parsonage attracting a large | crowd of curious people about tho gate | The minister states that for a year he has been unable to take his children out I for street car ride on account of his wife objecting and says that once she l bought an automobile, but soon sold it | because he asked her to let the children
 ride occasionally in it on the back seat
 His work for the church, he says, has
 been ruined owing to his wife becoming jealous of the women of the congregation Ho could hardly speak of them without
 spending the next 24 hours pacifying his
 wife, and often when he met the male
 members of the congregation she insisted
 that he had met women and a scene fol lowed.

LAURIER ANSWERS CRITICS.
Will Retire From Public Life il
Defeated.

ST. JEROME. Quebec. August 25.-
During a speech here yesterday at the
conclusion of a vehement attack upon
the nationalists. in which he repudiated
the statements that service in the navy
would be obligatory and that the navy
bill was just another chance to gain him
more honors from England, Sir Wilfdid
Laurier startled his audience by announc-
ing that II defeated in the coming elec-
tions he would retire at once and forever
from public life and would not lead the
opposition in the next parliament.
REST to me Is very sweet now," said
the premier, .and IL defeated not a word
OF reproach will pass my lips.
1t was Sir Wiifri1's reply to the state
ments circulated by the nationaiists that
led up TO his announcement. After char
acterizing the story OF compulsory, naval
service as a baseless lie he referred to
the charge that he sought Imperial
honors.
'.No king" he said, ''can give me the
honor that I most prize-the love and
respect Of my countrynien.

THREE DIE FROM GAS.
Workmen Cleaning Sewers Near
Philadelphia Overcome.

PHILADELPHIA, August 25.-Three
men working in sewer at the plant of the
American Viscose Company, artificial silk
manufacturers at Marcus Hook. near here.
were overcome by gas last night and died
shortly after being taken from the inlet.
The men, all foreigners. had been clean
ing the sewers of the inlet which carries
the waste and refuse from the plant into
the Delaware river. 1t is said that the
poisonous gases were formed by back
water from the river coming in contact
with the sediment at the bottom Of lhe
sewers, twelve feet below ground.
The men were dragged out In an uacon-
scious condition. having swallowed guam
titles of the poisonous sewer water, from
which they died, despite the medical at
tention that was given them.

Everything Is Neglected
for Reciprocity Campaign

TORONTO, August 25.-With the elec-
ton which will decide the fate OF the
reciprocity agreement still more than
three weeks of, the fight in this great
Industrial, and. agricultural province of
Canada has reached a point where prac-
tically everything else has been neglected
in the heat OF the political battle r. L.
Borden. leader of the opposition, has COM
pleted his Ontario tour. having delivered
more than thirty speeches in constitu-
encies considered doubtful, and will de-
vote the balance of his time to Quebec
and the maritime provinces. where his
own seat, at Halifax, is thought to be in
danger.
Premier Laurier will return to Ontario
next week to speak in several rural con-
stituencies. 1t is the farmers vote, both
sides agree. that is likely to decide the fate
of reciprocity. Every voter in a farming
community is considered important,
whereas in the city nobody seems to care
whether the voter exercises his franchise.
This is explained by the fact that every
city in Canada, except Kingston and OF
tawa the seat of government and the
home of thousands of civil employees,
gives an overwhelming Tory majority.
Former Minister Against Pact.
An unusual feature of the campaign is
that Clifford Sifton, former minister Of
the interior in the Laurier government.
has come out against reciprocity. Mr..
Sifton is a life long liberal and was the
liberal member for Brandon in the house
Of commons just dissolved, but has taken
the stump against the issue favored by
his party.
In some of the farming communities
the failure Of the Farmers Bank, which
cost the farmers of several counties hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. is being
discussed by the opposition and may lose
the government votes. Before the charter
WAS issued 1t is claimed that Finance
Minister Fielding was notified of the
shady character of those promoting the
bank. but nevertheless the charter was
granted. The alleged laxity. of the finance
minister is being used as an argument
against the government.
Laurier Has Following for Pact.
MONTREAL, August 25.-Now that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier has addressed half a
dozen meetings in his native province of
Quebec, which has given him his work.
ing majority in every parliament since
that Of 1886, there is distinct revival
of confidence in the liberal ranks over
the outcome Of reciprocity. Everywhere
the crowds which greeted the premier
have been large, the applause has been
generous and one each occasion Sir Will
frid has demonstrated anew that he is
still the idol OF the French Canadians.
That the danger to Lauriers prestige
was great is admitted by his followers.
In 1903 Henri Bourassa, another vigor-
Gus French Canadian type, while not dis
tinctly friendly TO Sir Wilfrid, was not
openly antagonistic.

August 25-Before the sun sinks beyond

there will have been a tremendous

veur umpire's standpoint. Those two old
enemies, the Red army and the Blue.
have been at il hammer and tongs, with
plenty of ammunition and lots of spunk,
to say nothing of a field ration apiece for
every man in the field today. This bat
tie Is an all-day job. unless Col. Ourand
with his Red army drives Col. Harvey
and the Blues in 'shapeless mass still
farther up the valley.
II is the first time the men have handled
ammunition during this war. but what
they have missed heretofore has been
amply made up today. for every man has
twenty-five rounds, and an ammunition
wagon is on the field with a lot more.
Col. Ourand's 1st Infantry is striving to

is lost to him. 1t Is probably the first

WORLDS BIGGEST GUN
MAY DEFEND CANAL
Sixteen.Inch Piece OF Ord
nance Now at, Sandy
Hook.

Many War Department officials favor
plan to utilize the only sixteen-inch gun
in the army for the defense Of ne Pan
anna canal. The gun is now at Sandy
Hook, n. j.
When it was built its official tests
showed that it was the most powerful
has been constructed since that equals
it in size or power. Experiments with
fourteen-inch guns showed. however, that
they are more economical than the gun
of larger caliber They can be fired much
more rapidly, and it was believed that
they would be just as effective In defend
ing a fortified position as sixteen-inch
guns. 1t was held also that their range
from the shore would be greater than
that of guns of the same caliber on bat
tleships. The walls of fortifications also
are stronger than the armor OF battle
ships. Any battleship, it was held. could
be sunk by fourteen-inch guns ashore
before it could get within effective range
of modern fortifications.
But at the canal, it is held, it will be
necessary to keep. the enemys ships so
far away that they will not be able to
throw shells into the vital parts Of the
waterway. 1t is not merely a matter Of
preventing the enemy's ships from reduc-
ing the Notifications, but to keep them
far enough away to prevent their doing
any serious harm to the waterway.
Practically Aerial Torpedo.
The projectile fired by the sixteen-inch
gun is virtually an aerial torpedo. 1t
weighs 2.4OO pounds and will penetrate
the thickest armor plate known to mod
ern naval constructors. and burst inside
the ship with the force Of about 40
pounds of high explosives. In the opin-
ion of ordnance experts, a single shot
from this monster gun would put the
largest dreadnought out of commission,
II it did not actually sink 1t. The weight
of projectile from fourteen-inch gun
is 1850 pounds, as against ..40O for the
sixteen-inch A fourteen-inch gun does
not carry over ninety pounds of high ex
plosives while the projectile used in the
sixteen-inch gun contains from 140 to $50
pounds of high explosives.
Preliminary estimates and other compu-
tations for the construction of a sixteen
inch gun for the navy are under con-
sideration by Rear Admiral Twining,
chief of the navalvbureau OF ordnance.
1t is not likely that such large guns will
be adopted for United States warships
