HUGE TURBINE

ilton, ILL.,, the first of the big turbine
water wheels going into the largest
power house on earth and the great
est water power ever developed, mere
in the Mississippi river.
This turbine had to be cast in
foundry in the plains between the
mountain ranges. because it could
not be hauled ovoer the mountain dl-
visions of the railroads. IL was
brought from Akron, o., in week
in a car of special design and strenstn
built for the trip. Water tanks anu
coal chutes between Lake ERE anu
the Mississippi had to be moved OUT
Of the way, or thanked by passing
tracks provided for the purpose. me
route had to be chosen to avoio
bridges. except the modern concrete
arched bridges without sides. Exec
utiye officials Of the railroads had 70
ride with the turbine to attend to any
emergency orders, such as moving
a freight house, which might be found
necessary in order to get this masta-
don of water wheels through.
At that, the turbine was shipped on
edge. to make it's longest dimension
vertical into the air, and its shortest
dimension horizontal, sticking out on
both sides of the track.
It is one casting of seventy.three
tons of iron, sixteen and hall 1eet
in diameter and eleven and quarter
feet high. In shape 1t suggests great

JURlST DISMISSED CASE WHERE.
IN WOMAN CLAIMED CON-
TRACT WITH MAN.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-"Any contract by
which married man agrees to sup.
port married woman other than his
wife, is against public policy and is
absolutely void" declared Municipal
Judge SABBATH today in dismissing the
suit of Mrs May Williams Charter
against Chauncey c. Foster, former
commission merchant, &c.,.
Mrs. Charter. now divorced from
her husband, sought to enforce the
provisions of an alleged contract I'M
der which Foster was to pay her
$1,000 in monthly installments OF
500.
Reviewing the testimony the court
said
I'm this case both parties were mar
ried when the contract was said to
have been entered into, December 8,
1911. The court feels justified in say
ing that a fair and reasonable infer
ence to be drawn from the making of
the contract, If there was any, that
the parties might maintain the illegal
and illicit relations between them az
ter the entry of the decree Of divorce,
that they seem to have had before the
plea was entered. The consideration
for such a contract is so tainted with
immortality that the court will not
support it."
Foster denies making the alleged
contract and characterized himself as
"a love goat who was being made to
bear the burden of another's fault.
When Mrs. Charter was divorced ali
mony amounting to $2,400 the exact
sum specified in the alleged contract
was awarded her.

HuRLS SHOE AT
JUDGES HEAD
MILITANT SUFFRAGETTES ARE
OBSTREPEROUS IN SCOTLAND;
HORSE-WhIP MINISTER

Aberdeen Scotland, Nov. 30.-Mili-
tant suffragettes today brought about
two scenes of extreme violence IN
which women's shoes and horse whip
were used as weapons. IT,.
The first outbreak occurred when
three of the women, Joyce Locke,
Fanny Parker and Mary Pollock, who
had been caught in possession of ex-
plosives in the music hall where Chan
cellor Lloyd George was to speak were
brought up before the magistrates.
After hearing the evidence the magis-
trate remanded them for further In
quiry. AS he informed them Of this,
Joyce Locke removed her shoes and
hurled one of them at the magistrates
head and then threw the other at the
clerk of the court. She was promptly
committed for contempt Of court.
The second outbreak was committed
by one of the members of party of
suffragettes who we're waiting at the
railroad station for the departure Of
Chancellor Lloyd George. The woman
mistook the Rev. Forbes Jackson for
the chancellor of the exchequer in dis
guise and dashed him across the face
with heavy horse whip. She was at
once arrested.
Thought Firecrackers Was Bomb.
Some excitement was caused here
last evening when what at first was
believed to be an Internal machine In
tended for David Lloyd George. chan
cellor of the exchequer, was found in
the hands of suffragette. who was
discovered hiding in the hall where
Lloyd-George was to deliver an ad-
dress. 1t turned out, however, to be
box containing firecrackers. The
woman who had It and two of her SUI.
fragette companions we're arrested.
They were hiding behind the organ in
the music room and were discovered
before the doors were opened.
After the meeting another militant
suffragist hurled a stone at one of the
automobiles occupied by Mr.. Georges
party with the intention. it is believed,
of injuring the chancellor. She picked
the wrong car however. and the mis-
sile went through the window Of one
not occupied by Mr.. Lloyd-George.
The woman was arrested.
