MRS. kEHOE ASKS
 COURT TO HASTEN PROBE OF DIVORCE
Former Bridgeport Woman Creates Excitement in
 White Plains.

Interesting occurrences marked the proceedings Of the supreme court in White Plains, N. L., last week, when the investigation was being conducted into the charge that here was colIu- sion beween Charles F. Kehoes the husband of Mrs. Dorothy M. Kehoe, formerly of West Way in Bridgeport, and the latter's lawyers, when she procured a divorce in 1913.
 While Justice Joseph Morschauser was continuing his investigation Mrs. Kehoe frequently interrupted her at torney and asked him to hurry up. Once she Jumped to her feet and polk ing her lawyer in the back said: "I wish you would make this exaInina- ton brief. I want to get out of here" Mrs Kehoe. who Inherited $500,- 900 few years ago, now claims she is penniless and alleges Kehoe got considerable of her money. He mar ried a short time after his first wife obtained a decree and through his lawyer, Judge Frank l.. Lamb of White Plains, says the plaintiff has demands for money.
 He offered in evidence 36 letters he received after his wife procured the divorce. Why didn't you destroy the 1etters?" Mrs. Kehoe's lawyer asked.
 -'I knew I was dealing with a very dangerous woman, @hGnO0 snapped, "'and that is the reason I kept them.'
 "Ohi Oh! Oh!" smoaned Mrs. Ke- hoe.
 Mrs. Kehoee in her motion to set aside the decree asserts her husband rode, with her in her automobile on the day the decree was granted until within two blocks of the court house and then walked the remainder of the way.
 .Did you go with your wife 10 court 2,' Judge Morsc1lauser asked Ke- hoe.
 1T did not" he replied. sfThe dis charged chauffeur carried tales to Mrs. Kehoe. When discovered what he was doing I threw his clothes dut of the window
 At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Morschauser directed that briefs be submitted on the question as to whether Mrs, Kehoe in waiting i've years to seek to set aside the decree was not guilty of 1acl1es.
 This man is married again" said Judge Merschauser, land what I de- sire to know is, whether this woman in waiting until two children are born is not stopped from bringing this ac- ton
 Assuming that all is true, am I justified in setting aside the decree. when the woman is one of the conspir- ators9 That is the subjetS I desire you to discuss in your briefs.''

COMMERCIAL PREPAREDNESS.

Much is being said on the. above subject, with reference to the end of the war. Commercial Preparedness is to be the slogan of the National For eign Trade Association. meeting at New Orleans in January. Business men are admonished to look alive, or they will lose trade as the result of European pressure business after the war.
 Much of this talk, of course, is
 fbringing icoa1s to Newcastle Amer< ican business men have always sat up nights thinking how they could at tain better commercial preparedness. The agility with which they chase the dollars is the marvel of the world. They will have any trade lying in sight that is not tied down by conditions beyond their ability to meet. %
 Some progress has been made since to war began, in the effort to cap ture South American trade. Some business men think they can get it merely by sending out salesmen from this country. who may or may not be able to speak the language. It's slower work than that.
 To get that business, the chances are that a good many of our people will have to take up their residence liQ South America. To build up a trade, they must know the field and the people intimately, understand economic conditions and the customs of the people. For the first five years a represen ntatiye' would scarcely pay for his salt. Gradually commercial ties would grow, and in the end there would be a large chance for expan- sion.
 If American business men have a fault as a class! it is the desire for quick returns. They are not over eau tious about new ventures. They rare 1y say "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.'' But they do say, "A bird in the bush today is worth two birds in the bush tomorrow They hate to wait for results, and prefer to build for today rather than for next year. International currents of trade are not built up that way
