MUST PAY $4,000
ALIMONY TO WIFE
OR LODGE IN JAIL
Frank M. Finley Charged
Woman Was Extravagant
And Used Intoxicants.

Frank M. Finley. proprietor Of a
bottling establishment must pay his
wife, Mrs. Mary A. Finley. back ALL
mony amounting to more than $500 or
go to Jail.
Chief Justice Clabaush reached this
decision today In Equity Court No. 1.
following argument on rule for
Finley to show cause why he should
not be adjudged in contempt Of court
for failing to pay the alimony.
Mrs. Finley obtained an absolute d.
vorce from Finley on July %. 1909. and
was awarded alimony in the sum OF
$50 week. It is charged by Mrs. Fin
ley that she was paid regularly until
August, 1910. but since then has not re-
ceived one cent.
The defense Of Finley was that he
discovered after the divorce that his
wife, who formerly acted as his book
keeper. had manipulated his accounts In
such a manner that he was in debt
more than s15.000 instead Of owing prac-
tically nothing. as the books showed
He also charged that she had taken
from his home silverware and other ar
ticles worth upwards Of 5000, and
jewelry of the value of 5000. ..
Extravaganza was another allegation
made by Finley against his former wife.
He informed the court In his answer to
the rule that she bought gowns worth
500 each, hats at $50 each, and coat
for $3.50. He further alleged that she
was addicted to the use Of intoxicants.
and that when he practically agreed to
pay her so a week, she promised to
stop drinking to excess, but failed to
keep the promise.
More than a year ago Mrs. Finley
filed suit to collect alimony in the
sum Of $500 due her. and the. case Is
still pending, but the action Of the chief
Justice today will probably result in
the lawsuit being abandoned.
"Mr. Finley must pay all back all
monv or be committed" ordered the
court.
II was suggested that Attorney
Michael ]. Colbert, representing Mrs.
Finley and Attorney ]. 8. Easily Smith,
counsel for Finley, try to agree on
easy terms for the payment Of the
alimony so that no hardship will be in
ficted on the defendant.

TWO RALLIES THIS WEEK
Roosevelt Men to Have Gov. Bass
and Taft Men Congressman
Hawley of Oregon

Politics have taken a sudden i'm
petus in St. Johnsbury and as re-
suit the voters of this section will
have an opportunity to hear two ia
nous politicians here before Satur-
day evenings caucus. The first
move was by the Roosevelt men who
quietly went to work and secured
Gov. Robert P. Bass, the progressive
governor Of New Hampshire to come
to st. JOhnsbury Thursday evening
and address the voters at The Colo
niaI. Gov. Bass is too well known
to need further comment. He is at
the head of the Roosevelt movement
in New England and will speak with
authority. The men having the af-
fair in charge have engaged the st.
Johnsbury Consolidated Band to
play for the evening, which will be
their first public appearance.
Congressman Hawley Friday Even
ing.
When the Taft men heard of the
other plans they Immediately got
into communication with Congress
man Mckinley who has charge Of
the Taft campaign in Washington
and asked if a speaker could be sent
here for Friday evening. He replied
at once by wire that he could send
Congressman w. G. HaWley Of Ore
gOn, a very able speaker, to address
the voters Friday evening. As The
Colonial was engaged for that eve
ming arrangements were made to
hold the rally in the town hall in

WASHINGTON SHOCKED
Did Not Expect the Death Of Con-
gresham FOster-VermOnt AssO-
citation to Meet Thursday.
Washington, March 25, 1912.

Washington, March 25, 1912.
Caledonian Friends
Since Thursday evening the shock
ingly sudden death of Representative
Foster has been practically the sole
topic of conversation among YER
monters here Many did not even
know of his illness, and most Of
those who did supposed that he was
only hard cold or slight attack of
grip which would soon be overcome.
1t appears, however, that soon after
his confinement to the house his
liver became affected, swelling and
hardening seriously, and this was
undoubtedly the ultimate cause of
his death. 1t is said to have become
wholly inactive from swelling and
solidity with the inevitable result
that blood poisoning was diffused
throughout the system. The after
noon before the evening of his death
he was up and sitting in his chair for
some time, apparently much better,
and speaking hopefully of his early
return to work Suddenly, however,
he was compelled to return to his
bed by something resembling a chill
but which was very probably the be-
ginning of the syncope and ap-
preaching heart failure from the
effects of the diffusion Of
poison. Of course the disease
had so far advanced then
that the end, which came at about
$50, was inevitable
With him at the last were the i'm
mediate members Of his family, with
the exception of his daughter Mabel,
who had been notified and soon
arrived from New
York, and his sister and niece resid-
ing in the city. The local public
knew nothing of Mr. Fosters de-
cease until they read of fl i'm the
morning papers, both of which CON
tained photographs of him with eX-
biographical notices. The

afternoon papers likewise gave him
comprehensive and fitting notices,
and sincere expressions of regret
were everywhere heard. The emf
nent and enviable standing gained
by Mr.. Foster locally, in congress
and throughout the country at large
has not been fully realised largely
because of the fact that it has
been difficult to fully compre-
hend the deserved distinction,
practically worldwide, which this
Caledonia county boy has steadily
been winning during all the years
since he went out from among the
hills of Scotland" to fight, unassist-
ed and alone, and to win so magni-
fcently in the SO hardly contested
field of human endeavor. Mine is
not the pen, nor is this the time to
tell the story, and it is left to abler
and more worthy hands.

manent progress. Pres. Taft believes
in this system of government and he
is confident that it may be relied
upon to make such further improve
ments in our laws as will ensure
more complete justice and a strong
er rule of right and reason. He
does not say we have reached per-
lection but pledges himself to work
for all improvements that will not
weaken or undermine the best and
safest institutions of our country.
Mr.. Roosevelt calls for the aboI-
ishment of much we have had in the
past. He would cast aside the tools
with which we have become familiar
and which we can use with safety
and certainty of results for a new
system that has never been success
fully applied to a nation like our
own in human history. 1t cannot be
accepted with certainty because it
has never shown by experience that
it is workable. To follow Mr..

means revolution, frequent change
and constant uncertainty. The
danger of his propositions was most
effectively shown in the able speech
recently delivered by Judge Wendell
P. Stafford in New York, a man
whose loyalty to right has never
been questioned. Can this country
from a business standpoint afford
to enter such a period Of irresponsi-
biIity? Today if law maker per
forms an unjust or an unwise act
his career as a law maker can be
terminated at the close of his term
of Office but the individual voters
mistake cannot be controlled be-
cause his right to vote can never
be taken from him. He is not re-
sponsible to the general public for
his vote but the chosen representa-
tive of the people is responsible and
his right to vote can be taken from
him and given another who enjoys
greater confidence of the people. The
radical changes proposed by Mr. .
Roosevelt are not desirable at fIis .

President Elect SAYS He I'm

Trenton, n. j., Dec. ls,-Woodrow
Wilson came back TO the State House
Yesterday in lighting spirit, and issued
warning to voters against politicians
who have opposed his progressive poll
ciss and who, he said, would again seek
to control the state government as soon
as he steps from the governorship. He
urged that their plans should be blocked.
Il have been surprised" says the
president elects statement, by numer-
ous Inquiries as to whether / would con
tinue to take interest in the political af-
fairs OF the state. after assuming my
duties as president, and yet / realize
the significance of these inquiries. Last
summer | warned the voters of the state
very explicitly that the men who for
merly controlled and discredited our pob
icies were awaiting their opportunity to
recover control, and We're expecting to
find it., What then said has been veri-
fed by what has happened.
Il am keenly aware of the fact that
these men have so little respect for the
voters OF New Jersey that they think
all they have to do is to wait to come
back into power. They will be sorely
disappointed If they should, in some
evil moment, recover control of the party
machinery they will only ruin the party
and put it permanently out of power.
The people of the state need not
fear that | will become Indifferent, fer
l understand my duty to be to stand
back of the progressive forces in the
Democratic party everywhere and at
every junetrre."
