eight hours until she began to be disillu- stoned. Up to the time she left my home she had never tasted liquor in all her life. It was her husband who urged her to drink, and although she never drank to excess, what she did she always did open. ly-and people are only too quick to take notice of such things"
 Within few months the Cudahys were divorced. The decree placed the children in care of Michael Cudahy, their paternal grandfather. General Cowin made their mother an allowance of $5,000 year. But within a year both frankly regretted the divorce. "He is the father of my four babies" said Mrs. Cudahy. "A wife must love the father of her children"
 In June, 1912, they were reunited. Both being Catholics, they decided that second marriage was not necessary, the divorce being not binding on either party.
 q did great wrong to my wife and children" said Cudahy. Now l propose to devote the rest Of my life to making amends to them"
 Before the reconciliation, when Mrs. Cudahy was living in Pasadena, Cal, she complained to the police that she was con- stantly watched. Once a masked man en- tered the house, knocked down Mrs. Will jams, her companion, then dashed into an- other room and seized Mrs. Cudahy. After a desperate struggle she reached an open window and screamed for help. Then the masked man fled. When he called again, having written that he had important inc formation for Mrs. Cudahy, the police bounced on him.. He said his name was Maurice J. Condory and had been hired by "a tall man. in Los Angeles to get Mrs. Cudahy to sign a confession" He had experienced change of heart, and thought Mrs. Cudahy should be warned against this same "tall man."
 About year ago the reunited Cudahys went to California to make their home in Pasadena. No longer associated with his fathers large packing interests, Hand some Jack was devoting himself to ranch he had purchased not far from Pasa. dena, and to his wife and children.
 The recent outbreak, in which Mrs. Dr. Coates's broken ribs figure, appears to be the first interruption of the peace and serenity of the reunited Cudahys.

not less than three d1ferent tIHeS, DuL drink always got him back again. He had been assigned to an important post in the packing house at Kansas City but his busi- ness flunders soon made it impossible to hold. Money flew through his fingers like water-Europe, New York, private yachts and private cars all figured in his kaleido- scopic career, while one domestic upheaval followed another"
 This was published shortly after that sen sational episode in which Cudahy turned the drawing room of his own house into midnight torture chamber, with Kansas City banker for the victim.
 This shocking affair with it's various ramifications and it's sequel, pretty thor oughly Eliminates the many-sided charac- ter of Jack Cudahy. In the first place, as the son of Michael Cudahy, founder of the great Cudahy packing business in Chicago,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-12-27

"Joie de vivre"-the myriad pleasures and excitement of life-attracted him infinite ly more than the aims and ends of the Cudahy packing business.
 In 1899, however. most hopeful thing happened Jack Cudahy fell violently in love with and married beautiful blonde Edna Cowin, daughter of General John c. Cowin, of Omaha. In the next ten years four charming children were born to them. They occupied handsome residence in Kansas City, where Cudahy had an official position in his fathers business. But it was not long after the marriage when Handsome Jack" had resumed his former course as clubman and a sort of all around sporting character.
 Probably no man ever enjoyed greater popularity with a large circle of men friends His enthusiasm for anything in the nature of business seemed to be cen tired in his 2,000-acre stock farm located within convenient motoring distance from his city home. Between his supervision of the farm work and his club life, his beautiful and socially active wife-as was wellknown to their intimate friends-got less and less of his attention.
 Suddenly, in the Spring of 1910, when the eldest of the four children was ten and the youngest three years old, came the shock ing affair that made public the strained re- lations which had existed for some time tween Handsome Jack' and his beautiful wife.
 It was around the hour of midnight when Police Headquarters in Kansas City re- ceived this message by telephone in the voice of muchrexcited and apprehensive woman:
 "A man is being murdered in the Cudahy home. Send an officer there at once."
 Ten minutes later a hurrying policeman responded. Finding the front door of the Cudahy residence wide open he did not ring, but walked in. Hearing screams issu- ing from the drawing room opening from the entrance hall the policeman opened the door and was confronted by scene worthy of the days of the Spanish Inquisition.
 Three men were in the room, which was brilliantly lighted. On the floor, half clad and bound with a rope, lay Jere S. Lillis, president of the Western Exchange Bank wellknown in Kansas City as one of Cudahy's particular friends in the club life of the city. Above the banker stood Cudahy. He was in evening dress, except that he wore no coat. His shirt sleeves were rolled up and his hands were stained. By his side stood chauffeur, leather cap y Great Brita:n Rights Reserved

limousine for us and we drove to the Cudahy bungalow. We found Mrs. Cudahy terribly worried, because she had heard that Jack had left the club. As there was nothing we could do, we were just starting for home when in walked Jack"
 Right then things began to happen. Cudahy was calling for his wife, and when she appeared he ordered her away. Dr. Coates tried soothing methods and got his pipe knocked out of his teeth. Just then Cudahy saw Palmer Day, small man, sticking his head in the door, attracted by curiosity about the uproar. Cudahy start ed for Day. Mrs. Cudahy and Mrs. Coates stood in his path, and 1t was the latter whom he thrust aside, producing the in- juries alleged
 Right here Dr. Coates gave up the soothing process. He started in and thor oughly subdued Jack Cudahy. MT. Day, in the meantime, had procured several yards of rope, and with this Cudahy was securely bound. Later MT. Cudahy was put to bed, where. it is said, it took two men to keep him subdued during the remainder of the night.
 Sure, the doctor trounced me-" was Cudahy's frank admission. T may take another try at him some of these days. I am not convinced he is the better man."
 The filing of suit for damages showed that the Cudahys are indeed truly reunited Mr. Cudahy said:
 q will fight Dr. Coates in the law courts and out to a finish, whether 1t costs S100,- 900 or $1 000,000."
 My husband will get Dr. Coates and lick the daylights out of him yet" was Mrs. Cudahy's statement in a Los Angeles newspaper.
 "Pm awfully sorry for Mrs. Coates, but she ought to have known better than interfere when two men get in a fight. No woman who is a good sport woul1 do so."
 Handsome Jack" Cudahy's enormous enthusiasm for the material joys of life has always surrounded him with more friends and boon companions than his periodical acts of violence could transform into enemies. To most of these, including his wife, he is known as a strange mixture of the winning sentimentalist and the over bearing egotist. In 1910 widely circulated

further:
"Russia will have no difficulty in
finding 2O,o00,000 men to complete the
work begun by its trained fighting

time in the memory of men that the
Russian army has taken the field
with adequate equipment and a sufii-
cheney of supplies, under officers
trained in the hard lesson so
thoroughly learned in the japanese

"The history of that campaign
shows what Russian soldiers accom-

bit under the conditions of today and
lighting in a cause they understand
there is little wonder that the Rus
sian soldier has proved himser
match for the German.
1.-THE German opposition to the Rus

is SO situated that it can easily be
isolated by an adequate force while
the rest of the Russian army passes
on into the interior Of Germany, and
1t is doubtful whether Germany has
sufficient organized forces to oppose
the Russians.

The train from Paris wednesday

wait seven hours at Amiens by a

WITH THE PACIFIC
I KEPT CLEAR, SILK
WON'T Be SCARCE
Paterson Manufacturers Look
for More Business With New
York as Clearing Point.

Snecial to the Evening staf'
PATERSON, Aug. 27.-More BUSH
ness than ever is looked for by local
silk manufacturers as soon as the
financing of the importation of raw
silk can be adjusted. With the italian
and French supply cut off. Japan re-
mains the only source. but heretofore
all deals for that trade have been ar
ranged through London. AS soon as
New York can make itself the finan-
ciai source OF Japanese raw SILK I'M
portations there will be no shortage
here. The price is sure to advance,
however.
In making this hopeful prediction
II is, ofzcourse, assumed that Ger
many will nop be able to close the
Pacific ocean and that this country
and Japan will remain at peace.
Catholina Lambert, of the Dexter
lambert mill, believes that if the war
lasts any length of time America will
produce as fine designs and weaves
as England. although he looks for an
increase in the price OF raw silk.
Paterson's opportunity will come
through scarcity af labor on the other

afford TO pay our men SO a day and
get the necessary price. We can
make in America anything that is
made abroad"
John Cirossgebauer, of the Columbia
Ribbon Company. and Otto Haenich-
en-, of the Haenichtsn SILK Company,
share Mr.. Lambert's opinion,and look
for plenty of business both in ribbon
and broad silks.

she can call on 100000 men; all ac-
counts show that her armies are
completely efficient in every respect;
they will be commanded by highly
educated and patriotic officers; she
has the best weapons; being central
to her enemies, east and west, she will
be acting on interior lines.
