FINDS WIFE LIVING
WITH AFFINITY HERE
Charles Williams, Ypsilanti,
Causes Arrest of Geo. Card
ner, Automobile Worker

A month ago, Mrs. Charles Will
liams, OF Ypsilanti, found the man she
believed to be her one affinity. Mon.
years old, was locked up at the IN
stigation of Mrs. Williams husband
on the allegation that Gardner had
eloped with the woman two weeks
ago. Gardner admitted to Lieut.. Davis
that he fell in love with Mrs. Will
liams at first sight.
Couldn't you get woman without
stealing one from someone else"
asked the lieutenant.
II didn't steal her; she wanted TO
come" replied the man. Il knew she
had husband and children In Ypsil-
anti, but she loved me and we were
happy here together ssgn. 49,
Gardner is employed as an ASSEM-
bier in the plant of the Lozier Auto
mobile company. So proud was Mrs.
Williams OF her new-found soul mate
that she Is said to have written her
husband that she was living with a
handsomer man than he. She even
displayed a picture of her prize.
Taking the letter from Detroit rs
his clew, Williams started a still hunt
in this city. He located the couple
at No. 2S2 Third-st. Patrolman
Rochefort was called and the pair ar
Tesled. The woman was released
Monday night on her promise to re-
turn home to Ypsilanti.
Williams said he would be in De-
trolt, Tuesday, with the intention OF
placing a charge against Gardner.
The police say. however, that the only
charge on which he can prosecute
the man would necessarily include
the prosecution of Mrs. Williams.
In case Gardner Is proceeded
against, Mrs. Williams has said that
sho will appear and plead for him.

English Ruler Given Worry Over

Foreign Correspondence Of The star.
LONDON, July g. 1912.
A semi-official book has appeared re-
Gently about the correct dress to wear
at court People who may have to dip
into 1t to solve their own difficulties may
take comfort to hear that the question Of
the correct thing to wear even agitates
the throne.
The question Of what the king should
wear on his voyage in the royal barge
today at Henley has been matter OF
some royal perturbation. The occasion fs,
of course, without precedent, the state
barge not having been used since Queen
Victoria's time. Nothing on earth, the
king Is reported to have said TO Lord
Desborougf, would make him wear tall
hat in these circumstances. Naval uni
form was suggested. but the reply was
that naval uniform on the river MADE one
look like q ventriloquist.
The king finally decided to wear coun-
try clothes and q white billycock hat
This exciting incident will give women a
clear idea of how much harder are mems
difficulties in dress than theirs.
The queen, for example, would not be
faced with the same perploxities. The line
that divides town and country in q mans
wear is so much sharper than with q
woman, and again there Is no question OF
uniform to complicate their decisions To
appear in q state barge on the river. row.
ed by the court watermen In their gorgeous
costume really requires q new sort OF
uniform. and am afraid that the experts
Will not agree that tho kings country
clothes will really be the correct thing.

KALAMAZOO. Mich. July 18-Grand

Queen Worthy had little difiiculty In

heat. but at no time was she in danger
OF being passed.
It was in the 207 pace where Sunny
Jim met his fate. Played heavily a. q
favorite, Sunny Jim never even took .
first place. Braden Direct took the first
and last heats, losing the second as the
result Of bad break just after the first
quarter pole was reached.
1t required four heats TO decide the 2 IA
pace, Pearl Patch and Henry H. contend.
ing closely for first honors in every heat.
The race was one Of the prettiest ever
run in Kalamazoo. Nose to nose. Pearl
Patch and Henry II. came from the last
quarter pole to the wire, Pearl Patch
winning by q hairs breadth.
Derby Boy had to go Ave heats to win
the 2.12 trOt. Defeated In the first two
heats by Jack London. the favUrfte, by a
length each time, Derby Boy in the last

It is back to the minors for Cy Nor

ratio spit-ball artist can no longer be OF

help to the Athletics up to this year. He
teams. but always could be relied upon tc
win his games against the weaklings In
the race.
Brown and Houck, two youngsters whom
he picked up this spring, have the goods,
decided he did not need Morgan. It real
ly seems that in the two youngsters men,
toned Mack has once more been blessed
with a couple of valuable men. Both are
now pitching high-grade ball and are do
ing their share to keep the champions In
the race. That Mack luck has not yet
forsaken the champions.
Injuries have played havoc with the
Giants. The string Of defeats which Nc
Graw's team has recently suffered can
be directly attributed to the fact that
several Of his most valuable players arc
out Of the game or are playing when
they should be sitting on the Doncn.
There is no way to guard against these
accidents. and q team which wins PEN
nant necessarily has to be lucky in this re-
spect. When q strong ball team can go
through q season with its lineup intact
and its players In good shape, 1t stands
q splendid chance to land on top. This
