that looked like his wife" is told in
the testimony riat resulted in an abso-
lrte divorce being granted in the Dis
trict Supreme Court today to Lotta v.
Ellis, from Lernuel Ellis, who is play
irg at the Columbia Theater:
The decree simply sewers the nuptial
kEot and gives the wife the right to
resume her maiden name, Lotta Vivian
Reeves.
Four witnesses testified in behalf Of
Mrs. Ellis, one of them stating that
Ellis became infatuated with the young
woman named as correspondent the
first time he met her. and remarked on
the strong resemblance between her
and his wife.
According to Mrs. Ellis, she had 5000
when she married Ellis on Christmas
Day, 1903. in the parlor of a hotel at
Charles Town, Va, but she spent the
money within three years, and was
forced to leave her actor husband and
become a milliner When she married
Ellis, she alleges, he was a travelling
salesman.
Attorney Thomas Bradley represented
Mrs. Ellis and James 4. Toomey was
attorney for the husband.

Ollie James Predicts
Wilson Will Carry Nearly
Every State in Union

The result of the election in Ver-
mont indicates that Governor Wilson
will carry pretty nearly every State in
the Union" said Senator elect Ollie
James Of Kentucky, permanent chair
inan of the Baltimore convention, COM
menting today on the returns from the
Green Mountain State.
Il am pleased at the result but not
surprised" he continued. "It was shown
conclusively that the Democratic party
in the coming election for President will
not only hold its own vote, but get the
ballots OF some progressive Republl-
cans.
Also, 1t was just as conclusively dem
onstrated that the Roosevelt vote is to
come entirely fromfhe regular Republi-
cans, and practically none from sthe
Democrats. The Republican vote Is to
be divided between Taft and Roosevelt,
while the Democrats are to get all their
own and some Progressives besides.
IF the same ratio of distribution con-
tinues, Governor Wilson will have a
plurality In my own State of Kentucky
of about 10000. the largest Kentucky
ever gave a Democratic candidate for
President"
James said he looked for even more
favorable Democratic returns from the
Maine election next week.

Robert T. Way. a clerk in the office of
the Washington and Old Dominion Rail
way Company. will leave Washington
tomorrow for Denver, Colo. to claim
Tor himself, his two brothers and one
sister a fortune Of 100000 to which they
are heir.
The coming of this fortune reads like
romance. He knew nothing of It's ex-
istence until few days ago, when he
received letter from a Denver attor-
ney communicating the fact that he was
rtghtful heir. of the estate of the late
Emanuei Axson. At first Mr.. Way was
dubious. but he Is now convinced that
the fortune Is real. and that he. with
MS brothers and sisters. is rightful
Mr.. Way will start on leave from the
railway company this evening He will
take a short vacation trip and then
make his way to Denver to commune
cate with McClernand Whipple, the at
torney who notified him he is an heir
to the AXon fortune.
The brothers and sisters are Samuel
A. Way, invalid, of Darien, Ga. Walter
A Way. retired lawyer of Ludowic
Ga. and Mrs. Annie Harden, widow of
2 Presbyterian clergyman. living at
Emanuel Axson and a brother came
to American from England before the
revolution. Emanuel finally found his
way TO the West, while his brother set
tied in Georgia.
Emanuel. according to Denver rec
ords, died in 1862. when nearly 100 years
old. He left 5000 In cash and much
land. This estate has been Increasing
in value steadily through interest and
increased land values. Several persons
came forward to claim the estate. but
failed to prove their claim to the salts
faction of the Denver courts.
Attorney Whipple became interested
and started out to trace the real heirs.
He obtained a clue to the existence of
several descendants of the brother who
had lived in Georgia and traced them
down. Robert T. Way is the youngest.

ELEVATED MEN IN
CHICAGO VOTE TO
TURN DOWN SCALE
Day Workers Reject Propos-
al and Night Men Expected
to Take Some Action.

CHICAGO, Sept, 4.-Night employees of
the elevated railroads of Chicago toda Y
balloted on the question of accepting or
rejecting a wage scale offered them by
the car companies The day men con-
sidered the proposition and voted last
night. Today leaders of the unions,
while refusing to give out the vote be-
fore the ballot of the night men Is COM
pleted admit that the day men rejected
the scale and intimate that the vote was
almost unanimous.
1t was predicted by the union men
that the night men would vote against
the scale. This will leave the elevated
and surface railroad men in the position
of having rejected the proposed scale
and demanding arbitration. The meet
ings OF the car men, their employees, and
Mayor Harrison yesterday did not sue
ceed in arranging for arbitration be-
tween the employees of the surface lines
and the companies. further meeting
was held in the mayors office today.

WILSON TO OPPOSE
EDITOR SMITH AS
SENATE CANDIDATE
Democratic Leader, in "Store
Clothes,' Pleased With
Vermont Returns.

+ SEAGIRT, n. j., Sept. 4.-woodrow
Wilson surprised seagrt today by ap-
pearing in a cutaway frock suit of dark
clothes. 1t was the first time he had
been seen in anything but the gray suit
he wore when he was nominated.
Have you been mdulging in a new
suit?" he was asked.
NO" replied he, smiling, I'm going
to town today, 80 l put on my store
clothes"
Two events put the candidate In fine
humor. One was the election returns
from Vermont. The other was the an
nouncement of the candidacy of James
Smith, jr., for United States Senator
from New Jersey.
Vermont Returns Gratifying.
On the former he said:
THE returns are highly gratifying.
You know when the Democrats merely
hold their own in Vermont 1t Is encour-
aging, but when they not only hold their
own, but gain as they did yesterday.
you can be sure II means business"
Governor Wilson confined his COM
ment on the Smith candidacy to a de-
lighted grin. When Smiths declaration
Of belief in Progressiveness was read
to him, the grin grew broader. Asked
to do about the Smith candidacy, Gov
ernor Wilson said:
sel{!h EHa' situation will take care of IT.
Will Oppose Smith.
From close friends of the governor 1t
is learned that Smith will be vigorously
opposed. and that the fight will prob
ably be led by Governor Wilson HIM

WAILUKU, March 26.-One Of tue
most interesting affairs in years was
given last Saturday night at the Alex
ander House Gymnasium III Waiiuku.
It was a bazaar undertaken by the
Settlement in which all natiOGllities
had an important part. Even in the
concert the different races here had
their own peculiar music, and,
though it sounded strange indeed TO
hear the Chinese national airs along
with the sweet songs of the Hawaii
ans, yet it was all so novel and in
teresting that every feature of the
musical program was heartily appre-
ciated by the large crowd in the
Gym.
Each nationality had also its own
booth where fancy work and useful
articles were sold. Perhaps the JAP
anese people had put the most work
into their own booth, where auantl-
ties of articles were piled up for sale.
The Portuguese booth was well
equipped and the patronage excel
lent.
The Hawaiian booth was also most
attractive, was well decorated, and
was presided over by Mrs, A. Noa
Kepoikai Mrs. S. Konda had charge
of the Japanese booth, Mrs. Joe Ma
chado of the Portuguese, Misses
Louise Hart and Ella Groves of the
American, Mrs. All Quai Ting and

cans, 1000 Koreans and many other
nationalities.
In ride on an electric car one can
easily see representatives of seven or
eight nationalities and hear as many
different languages spoken. First
comes the natives, swarthy in com
plexion and black straight hair. Their
language is very simple. There are
but fourteen letters in the alphabet
To one who hears it for the first time
comes the conviction that the abort
gines expressed their sentiments in
primitive vowel sounds, to which
some consonants have been added.
Each vowel is sounded as in Latin,
and the words are easily pronounced
by one who is patient and wishes to
speak distinctly. The pronunciation
will be all the better if the speaker
will draw out, almost drawl, the vowel
sounds, for which reason the language
is well suited to the doleful Hawaiian
wall Say, e. e., Hoo-noo-lulu-lulu, and
let the word sort or sing itself.
When the Cleveland started, the
sailors in white on the dogs of war
stood at attention, and a great crowd
on the wharf cheered and four or five
bands played their heads off. And
the Cleveland passengers-they all
just looked as if they wanted to cry.
Several were so laden with flowers
they could scarcely walk. Once out
side the harbor the big ship poked her
nose toward the northeast and it is
off for the last round of the voyage
San Francisco.
On the morning of February 1 all
the passengers were out early. Land
was in sight, Some were glad the trip
was so near the end-others were
sorry. To leave the Cleveland will
seem like leaving an old home. 1t
has been a wonderful trip. But oh
you Golden Gate! Oh, you United
States! The Atchison man has had
the time Of his life, but he fears that
he has been spoiled-that he'll never
be able to work again. For more than
three months he has been in the
hands of a great steamship company
and had stewards to wait on him al
every turn, and nothing to do but
have a good time. So if he becomes
confirmed loafer it isn't really his
fault The man who spends his win
tiers at lily North Third street, Atch
