DIVORCE BOY, II
Romance of EIopement WaneS
When Young Husband Fails
to Keep Wooing Vows.

The pretty boy and girl romance of
Miss Ruth Glozier. fifteen, and Paul
Clay, seventeen, which saw its climax
In elopement and marriage eleven
months ago, had a sad anti-climax in
the superior court today. Young Mrs
Clay filed suit for divorce, charging
her husband hadn't kept the promises
he made as an ardent wooer when they
lived across the street from each other
in Lampkin street. In fact she had
found him to be so far from the ideal
she had pictured that life with him
would be misery, indeed. and she asked
the court for relief
According to the story Of neighbors
today. Paul Clay had known the little
girl who lived just across the street
from him for two years. Not until last
May, however, did he fall victim to
her attractions. He had seen her in the
neighborhood from time to time and
had been to her home frequently. Then
suddenly he made engagements with
her, took her to picture shows ami
other places of amusement
One day the girl asked her mother to
dIoW Nlef 10 marry Paul, but mother
said No The wooing kept on Miss
Ruth went to mother again and Mrs.
Glozier offered her new dress. a gold
bracelet or anything she cared for if
she would forget the boy.
But mother, we have been married
two weeks now she was told. Two
weeks before the girl and boy had left
home shortly after dark, saying they
were going up town They got a street
car at the corner-but it carried them
to Copenhill instead of to the citys
center There they were married. The
young people went to live with the
brides mother at 9 Corley street.
But the young husband does not stay
there now. A few weeks after thev
were married, so Mrs. Clay says in her
divorce petition, she found her husband
to be entirely worthless. He would no,
support her, and after she had gone to
work would take her money each Sat
urday night So she ordered him from
the house.
Now he is staying with his mother al
"A Lampkin street. and she is earning
her own living by working in a candy

Methods Used Yesterday
Were Worse Than Those
of Murphy

Fort Wayne, lnd.-Indignant over
his defeat in the New York primar-
les by what he termed Outrageous
tactics,' Col. Roosevelt arrived at
o'colck this morning at Fort
Wayne, determined to 1iay the
bosses on his western trip.
Col. Roosevelt says that there was
no real vote of the p arty in New
York state and that the primary law
there is a farce. He declares that
II fourth of the delegates are in
fact Roosevelt men, despite their in
structions.
1t is asserted by the eX-president
that the Taft men chosen in New
York City wer- elected by methods
worse than Tammy Hall ever used.
He promised to take up the matter
in detail in his Chicago speech to-
night.
Roosevelt spoke to 1900 people
at Lima, Ohio, saying that the bosses
in New York as in Indiana had turn
ed a majority from him to Taft.

ROOSEVELT HAS HOPES
Conferred IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Concern. il. H.-Tae Republican
State Committee meets lsere today
and will probably ave ono OF the
stormiest sessions in its history. Gov
ernor Bass and his associate Prcgres-
sive Republicans WHO have been
stumping the State in the interest of
the candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt,
Will make a vigorous fight for the
adoption of a Presidential primary
by the Republican State Committee.
With a primary in force the Roose-
welt people would have some chance
of getting some delegates firm New
Hampshire. Under the old conven-
ton system they would save a poor
chance, as it is claimed that nine
tenths of the active political lead
ers among the Republicans OF New
Hampshire are working for the re-
nomination OF Taft.

terday, won the first round of the
battle over the validity of the title to
his seat in the Senate. when by Il
vote of 20 to -, a resolution by Sen

ing the Wis onsin senator Illegally
elected, was rejected. The final strug-
gle will come today when the Hey

view, will be voted upon.
Stephcnson's adherents, led by
