Tricked by a False Certificate
Sues for 100000 for
Breach of Promise.

NEW YORK, July miss Alice
Albert has fled in the supreme court
a breach of promise suit against Rob
ert L. Loud, dealer in musical in
struments, in which she says that
from 1905 until 1912 she believed her
self to be LIQUIDS wife. She charges
that an alleged certificate of mar
riage was foisted upon her. and de-
mands 800, 900 damages.
In her complaint miss Albert says
she is a native of Buffalo, N. Y, and
comes of a family known in society
there. Loud, she says, told her he was
a divorced man and that his wife was
confined in retreat for the insane.
In 1905 she says Loud showed her
what he said was a certificate of mar
rage and both signed it. When it
came to announcing the marriage.
however, Loud declared that for bus
mess reasons this must be deferred.
and she finally agreed when she told
her he would settle $4,000 upon her.
The couple came to New York to
live and were happy until 1912, when.
so Miss Albert states, her husband"
informed her he never had been d.
vorced and that they must separate.

CRUISERS COAL ON THE RUN

The British cruisers which are
guarding the steamship lanes against
German raiders do not dare to relax
their vigilance for an instant. 1t is
dangerous for them to stop to take on
the necessary coal, and so an ingenious
method has been devised to enable
them to take coal on the run. The COL
lier that is to supply a cruiser with
coal gets into touch with her by wire
less and meets her at the appointed
spot. The collier pulls up behind the
cruiser and when about four hundred
feet astern two hawsers are passed
from the warship and one fastened on
either side to be used as tow lines.
Another cable is stretched from the
masthead of the collier to the deck of
the warship. The warship steams
ahead at the rate of ten or twelve
knots an hour followed by the collier.
Great bags holding a ton of coal are
hoisted to the masthead of the collier
and attached to a carrier that allows
them to run rapidly down to the deck
of the cruiser, where the load is auto
matically released. The carrier is then
drawn back to the collier. BY this
means coal is loaded onto a moving
warship at the rate Of sixty tons an
hour-The American Boy.
