KING OF MONTENEGRO Is
AN INTERESTING INVALID

One of the most interesting inva-
lids of the moment in Europe is the
king of Montenegro. He is the most
paternal ruler in Europe and judges
his little kingdom on the traditional
methods of the cadi under the palm
tree. Law never bothers him, and
when he has made up his mind what
an offender deserves the offender gets
it then and there. Of all the mon
archs he is the most unconventional.
He has revived the art of farriery by
working in his own blacksmith shop
and made his naughty braves to un-
derstand that what is good enough for
the king is good enough for them. He
gives evidence Of his intense patriot
ism by always wearing the exceeding
ly showy Montenegrin costume.

KILLED BY F|END

Portland, Ore. March 16.-The
girl was revealed yesterday when
Mrs Bertha Nelson, proprietor or a
lodging house at 107 Russell street,
this city. prompted by curiosity as to
what had become of a lodger who
rented a room the day before, went
to the apartment and discovered hud-
died on the bed the body of little Bar
bra Hoffman, whose disappearance
was reported the night before.
The little one had been brutally as
saulted and murdered, and the bed
on which the body lay was smeared
with the life blood of the little victim
of the fiend's lust
The identity of the perpetrator of
the crime has not been established
and Mrs. Nelson could give only a
meagre description OF the man.
She said he appeared to be about
45 or so years of age. He was clean
shaven save for small moustache,
shot with gray. He was well dressed
but had an unhealthy look. This
description practically is all the de-
toCtives have to work upon.
Police mt Work.
The police are searching for the
murderer, going on the theory that
the man Is n recent arrival from Spo-
kane where it is reported there have
been numerous attempts of a man
to entice small children to shacNs on
Hangman's creek. No clews have
been obtained. but every hotel is be-
ing searched. 1t is believed the man
is still in the city Rewards aggre-
eating $1,000 have been offered.

SINCLAIR DIVORCE
Utopian Priest Not Able to Stand
Mundane Strain.

New York, Aug. 29.-The marital
difficulties of Upton Sinclair, the
Utopian colonist and socialist author,
and Meta Fuller Sinclair, who have
been married eleven years, reached a
climax today when the author
brought suit for absolute divorce.
naming Harry Kemp, the poet, as CO.
respondent
While the papers were being pre-
pared by Mr.. Sinclair's attorney for
servie upon the wife today, she and
her husband and the correspondent
poet sat in the, assembly room of a
large Broadway hotel and quietly dis
cussed with reporters the problem Of
marital relations and Utopia in gen.
eral.
The author and his wife frequently
addressed each other in endearing
terms, and in a most matter of fact
way Mr.. Sinclair told his wife that
his attorney would call later in the
day with the formal papers.
Mrs. Sinclair was asked if she
would fight the divorce proceedings
"No," she said. II have not vet
consulted a lawyer, but my present
intention is not to defend the suit"
When informed of the statutory
grounds which the New York law
provides for the granting of divorce
she said:
"It does not seem to me that di-
vorce should be disgrace, even di-
vorce obtained upon such grounds as
you say must be shown in this state.
1 believe that an individual is justi-
fled in pursuing his or her ideal"
II have the misfortune she said,
ito have a very conservative husband.
He is conservative by instinct and
nature and a 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. Hue should not
be SO absorbed in his work that the
true proportions of human relation
ship fade into insignifcance beside
his work"
Mrs. Sinclair said that she expect
ed to go away for rest, and added
that Mr.. Kemp would not accompany
her. She said, hoSever, that both Of
them might later go on the stage.
Mrs. Sinclair said that he was going
to his home in Arden.

list and cotton bills and at once set
to work upon addresses which he
expects to deliver later, backing up
those vetoes.
Mr.. Taft Is said to realize that he
must not merely defend himself for
having rejected these bills, but that
he must attack the Democrats and
progressive Republicans who put
them through congress.
The attack upon the Democrats the
president can make in their own ter
ritory. The president will carry the
war west into the "enemy's coun-
nature of the attack is pretty
cl>e s, odned already, it will be in

sion were Ill considered and badly
drawn; and that great Industries Of

jeopardy by such legislation when
revision, If recommended by the tar
iff board, might be expected anyway
a few months later.
1t is also probable that the presi-
dent will promise tariff reform so far
as he can bring it about at the next
session Of congress.
It is quito possible that the progress
sives will be under fire from the presi-
dent on the subject Of reciprocity. The
president has heard enough from the
western congressman to know that
reciprocity is not popular in some
states west Of the Mississippi. The
progressives are supposed here to
count upon the bad effect reciprocity
will have with these western farm
ers. The presidents attitude in re-
gard to reciprocity will probably be
more nearly defensive than that in
regard to tariff revision, for he has
always contended that reciprocity.

vantageous to every one and hurtful
to none.
OF the oother main topics already
selected, currency reform Is admitted
to be of great interest because Of the
idea that the proposed legislation may

president may talk extensively on this
subject
