Mrs. Ferguson
 Given Scati1.ng
 Rebuke by Lawyer
Attorney Homer s. Cum mings Plays Wealthy Philadelphia Woman Ac- cused of Infdelity by Stamford Manufacturer

Emile Carstairs Ferguson was giy- en severe arraignmen this morning in the superior court when Attorney Homer s. Cummings made the open ing argument in the sensational di- vorce suit brought by Walter Fergu- son, Jr., of Stamford. Attorney Cum mfngs spoke for two hours and criti- cised Mrs. Ferguson harshly.
 He referred 70 Mrs. Ferguson's a1- legations that she had been neglect fore she was thrown into the com pany of George Graham, the Maine guide named as correspondent She stated that seeing her husband in love with another woman, she had become reckless. Attorney Cummings de- clared Ferguson had not neglected
 Attorney Cummings referred to Ferguson as "a dignified high minded gentleman, who did the best he could under the circumstances" The law yer exclaimed, "I defy anybody to go find anything that isn't true"
 In regard to the statement that Ferguson had been friendly with Miss Dorothy Taylor of Pennsylvania, Att torney Cummings said: sI hesitate to speak about the Taylor episode. It lldS no Ou5lu0SS III Ln1S case. It udS been treated as light and frivolous when in reality it is sad and tragic. Miss Taylor did not lead the plain tiff to neglect his wife. She is a woman of the highest reputation and nothing can be said against her." alleged she was distressed by her husbands fondness for Miss Taylor when they were in California in 19O? but it was a. fact that she and Miss Taylor rode back to New York to- gether in a private car. remarks about Mrs. Ferguson buying clothes and a ring for Graham and taking a long trip with him Tt was a case of wedding clothes, a wedding ring and wedding journey" he de- clared.
 The lawyer also devoted a few re- marks about Mrs. Graham's testimony which was of such nature that Judge Curtis heard it in chambers. 'It al- most borders on insanity" he said "She must have voluntarily filled her mouth with filth and then had to let 1t out"
 The actions of George Graham also ceive of anything more disgusting than Graham's conduct in 191O,'' remarked the lawyer. "It is beyond common decency."
 Attorney Cummings talked for two hours. He was followed by Attorney Ga1en A. Carter of Stamford, who spoke for Mrs. Ferguson. Attorney Carter said he was glad of the oppor- tunity to help remove a stigma from a woman's name. He denied all the allegations made by Ferguson's law yers and said there was no evidence to prove Mrs. Ferguson had been guil- ty of misconduct with the half breed Indian guide.

Prosecutor Delaney, Act ing on Orders from Town Chairman Farley, Takes
 Charge He Has "Dough Bag" and Full Authority to Take Charge of the District Over Former Senator's Head.
Accuses Arnold of Being Favorable to Candidacy of Donnelly = Summary Action Makes Votes for Democratic Candidate.

The trouble that has been, brewing in the Republican party manifested it. self again this morning at the Seventh district polling place, when District Chairman Thomas Arnold, Jr., and Prosecutor Alexander L. Delaney had a bitter dispute. Delaney claimed Arnold. had betrayed the party by working in the interests of John M. Donnelly.
 Reports of the trouble quickly spread about the city and the Republican leaders fearing the effect of such open discord, haStened to the district to en- deavor to smooth things over. With in a short time of the argument, Lead CT John T. King, Secretary of State Matthew H. Rogers and Town Chair man Percy Farwell arrived on the scene and held a long conference with Delaney. Meanwhile Arnold had gone away in a huff.
 The trouble arose when Arnold found that he had been superseded without warning by Delaney. Arnold said he arrived at the polls this morning pre- pared to take up his duties as dis trict chairman, and he found Delaney in charge. He also learned that last dough bag for the district.
 Arnold rushed up to Delaney and accused him Of taking the place that rightfully belonged to Arnold. You're out for Donnelly, and we know it, :" declared Delaney. sTm district chairman here today and I'm going to take charge of things. If you don't like it you can go take a walk for yourself"
 After that Arnold went away.
 Friends of Arnold were very sore about the summary action taken in his case. and many announced they would vote for John M Donnelly.
 When seen after the dispute Prose cutor Delaney said: ''I was instructed last night by Town Chairman Farwell to take charge in the Seventh. When I talked with him I said that if things were not being conducted ins that dis trict to suit the party would take charge. I thought it was my duty as a Republican to do as I did.''
 An effort was made to locate MT. Arnold in order to secure his version of the affair, but he could not be found

 After the yea and nay vote had been port of the committee was submitted to a. viva voce vote, and it was de- clared carried.
 Elsewhere appear the communica- tions from Zalmon Goodsell and Eu- gene B. Peck, who have consistently opposed the plan. both of which were not effective in swaying the aldermen from accepting the report of the ma jority of the committee.

The adoption of the Herring system and the ordering of the widening of North avenue were the two principal common council as at present consti- tuted, last evening.
 The Herring system is adopted in so far as 1t affects the construction of two sewers one in the East end and the other in the Brooklawn district. The former is to be located near the east boundary of the city between Read street and Boston avenue and the latter from the intersection of Madison avenue and Marion street to Burr Creek. The outside cost of the East end sewer is estimated at, $70.- 900 and of the Broolklawn sewer at $20,570.@
 The action on the adoption of the sewer committees majority report was not unanimous, and an effort was made last evening to have 1t placed on the table for further consideration This was defeated, and after consid- erable argument the committees re- port waS accepted.
 The widening of North avenue in response to a petition of St. Patrick s church was not ordered until there had been . heated discussion. This 1s the petition that was granted a pub- lis hearing at recent meeting of the council when several residents of the vicinity objected on the ground that shade trees would have to be elimin- ated. Attorney Hugh Lavery repre- senting the petitioner declared at the hearing that the number of shade trees that must go, if the petition Is car ried. into effect, is not so large as was represented.
 There were 9 aldermen present, the only absentees being Timko and Gar rity. the latter the Democratic candi- date for collector. The report of the sewer committee signed by Chairman UNeill. and Alderman Stewart and Primrose came before the body Advo-

OUTCOME OF NEW
 MEXICO'S FIRST STATE
 ELECTION UNCERTAIN

Santa Fe, N. M., Nov 7-Both Re- publican and Democrattic territorial chairmen admit that the outcome of today's State election-the first in New Mexico's history-is uncertain. While the territory has been nominally Re- publican by about 50,000, the detection of progressive Republicans and the bitter fight made against the Repub- lican candidates by the Prohibition party have made it difficult to fore cast the results.
 The publicity of the candidates on State, judicial, executive and county tickets, the injection of the race is- sue and the blue ballot have all com bined to lend uncertainty to the out come.
