SINCLAIR DIVORCE DENIED
did Not Adopt Vigorous Course,
Justice Newburger SAYS.

Upton Sinclair is having a difficult time
OF Il in his efforts to become an essential
grass widower. Twice the suit brought by
the socialist author for divorce from his
wife, Mrs. Meta Fuller Sinclair. has gone
before a referee.
Justice Newburger refused to grant the
divorce because he regarded as insufficient
evidence the photographs introduced
showing Mrs. Sinclair and Harry Kemp,
the Kansas poet and correspondent, to-
gether. Justice Davis refused to sign the
decree on the recommendation of the first
referee. because Sinclair was permitted to
testify TO things that he could not legally
tell about. Justice Newburger said yester-
day, In refusing the decree:
There Is some evidence that the plaintiff
protested against his wfe's actions and
demonstrated with her. but IL is quite clear
that nc did not adopt the vigorous course
that the ordinary man would nave under
similar conditions.
1t is probable that the case will now be
sent to third referee.

MAJORITY OF 90 FOR AsouITH

London. Feb. 2O.-The amendment to the
Address in reply to the Speech from the
Throne moved in the House Of Commons
yesterday, was rejected to-day by vote
of 32i TO 81. a majority of 90. The amend
ment alleged that the government had not
fulhIled its pledges to reconstruct the
House Of Lords.
In summing up for the government to-
day Premier Asquith declared that there
was no truth In the statements OF the OPP
position that pledges had been given that
the reconstruction OF the House OF Lords
should precede Home Rule. The proper
time for that, he said. was obviously not
before, but after. the settlement OF the
Irish question. A scheme for reforming
the Second Chamber would be submitted
during the lifetime of the present ParIia-
ment, but an ideal system OF representa-
tive democratic government would necessi-
tate not only the reconstruction OF the
House OF Lords but an alteration Of the
whole basis OF representation in tEe House
OF Commons.

MAY EXPLAIN TO COLOMBIA
Knox Said TO Have Plan to Settle
Panama Dispute.

Washington. Feb. 20.-President Taft took
up the Colombian situation with the Cabi-
net to-day. and later discussed IT with
Huntington Wilson, Acting Secretary OF
State. No official announcement was made
of what action had been taken by this gov
ernment. IT was said on authority that the
United States did not contemplate asking
for the recall of Senior Ospina, the Colon
hian Minister
A report was current that a full eXplana-
tion OF the attitude Of the United States had
been cabled to Minister Dubois at Bogota,
so that he might informally advise Co
lombia.
1t is believed that the Colombian gov
ernment will learn from Mr.. Dubois that
Secretary Knox did intend some negoti-
atons which might end the trouble which
grew out Of the revolt Of Panama. The pos
sibility that in view OF such information
Colombia might give special invitation to
Mr.. Knox is said TO be based on the charac-
ter Of the negotiations which he would be-
,;ln. the Colombian government being insis-
tent on arbitration through The Hague tri-
bunal rather than any commission Of diplo-
mats.

SLAIN IN HOME; GIRL HELD
Brooklyn Barber Shot-Step-
daughter To BE Examined.

Detectives from the Hamilton avenue
precinct. Brooklyn, and finger print ex-
pcrts from Headquarters were busy all
day yesterday trying TO solve the mystery
OF the death of Thomas Devine, a weIl-to-
do barber OF the Red Hook section. who
was found dead yesterday morning, with
two bullet wounds in his body, on the
second floor OF his home at No. 1874 Con-
over street.
The only other person in the house. so
far as the police had been able TO learn. at
the time of the shooting was Miss Sophie
stepdaughter Of Devine. II was she who
gave the alarm to the police.
According to Miss McCormacks story,
Devine awakened her about o'clock yes
terday morning and then started down
stairs. moment later she heard three
shots fred In rapid succession. She ran
TO the head OF the stairs and saw the body
OF Devine lying at the foot of the stairs
She then ran to the window and her
screams attracted the attention OF Patrol
men Oehler and Dannaher They told her
to open the front door. hut she did not do
so. They were obliged to force their way
into the house.
A search OF the house revealed no weapon
with which the crime could have been
committed. Devines own revolver is OF
smaller calibre than the one with which
he was killed. and was found fully loaded
with blank cartridges. No signs of a
struggle we're apparent and save for finger
prints on the bsnster there was no clew 10
the slayer. There was no evidence Of rob-
berry.
Miss McCormack's brother. Louis. who
was formerly patrolman. told tho police
that his sister was, in his opinion, mentally
unbalanced and had been for some time
He asked that she be sent 10 tho Kings
County Hospital for observation. she had
told him stories about the attitude of her
stepfather toward her but the brother re-
fused to believe them.
Miss Mccormack was arraigned before
Magistrate Geismar In the Butler street
court yesterday afternoon on charge Of
homicide, which was temporarily with
drawn until she should be examined by
doctors at the Kings County Hospital.
