DELAY BARS DIVORCE CIRCUS ARRIVES TODAY
Street Pageant Witnessed by Large
Portion. of Communicating at
Evening Show

Robinson's Famous Circus arrived
in Alexander today and was hailed
with a burst of glad welcome by
residents and those residing in the
surrounding country as they scrutlnlz-
ed the picturesque entrance OF the
strangers into strange lands, watch
ing the rising and expansion of the
tents, gazed with astonished eye upon
the gorgeous street parade and 1lock-
ed tc the show grounds on north Al
fred street, the scene of the exhibit
tions.
+ AS the day progressed it became
more and more convincingly evident
that the circus is the most popula:
form of entertainment for small boys
some of whom are six and others sixty
years Of age.
Behind the first section two more
trains were in pursuit. Steel runways
were lowered to the ground from stock
cars and yellow lettered flats and ele.
plants and camels and great red wag,
ons, their tops and sides masked in
canvas, emerged. Eight and ten horse
teams came from the stock cars, q!
harnessed and dragging empty trace:
behind them.
The pageant uas all and more, II
, magnitude and sumptous beauty, thar
the Robinson management had prom
ised. The two hundred Robinson
horses elected praise from all onlo0li
ers. They ranged from great Clydes
dale and Percheron draft horses t
tiny Shetlands.
The Nelson family are without
doubt the best and most pleasing ac
in circusdom. There is no more won
derfully clever group of performer:
before the public. The Castellos, Mel
rose and Meers and the Riding Con.
nors are skilled and daring equest
rians. De Mares bicycle balloons ant
monkeys are The climax of animal
! training. The Lorette Sisters present
dangerous Suspension act. The
, Towns pleased. The Japs show won
dcrful skill. Robinson's War Elephants
arc educated TO II degree Of perfection
The rings and stages also offer many
other meritorious novelties.
The final performance will be giver
tonight at s o'clock The doors will be
open an hour earlier.

waited Three Years to Reveal Col
fusion in wife's Action
Against Him

Frank M. Finley, who sued for an
absolute divorce after his wife had
been awarded an absolute divorce in
July, 1909, which was set aside and
iannulled on January 16, 1914, was de-
MED the right to maintain his action
in an opinion handed down by Justice
siddons in the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia, yesterday.
{. Justice Siddons said that law and
decency would be violated if the hus-
band was allowed the divorce. Tue
opinion reviews the various legal pro-
ceedings by his wife and husband.
On June 2, 1909, Mrs. Mary a. Finley
filed suit for an absolute divorce, al
leging misconduct, and on July %,
1909, she was granted divorce and
$40 week alimony and counsel fees.
This decree dissolved the marriage
between the parties. says the opinion.
Rules were issued against the hus-
band on August 8 and August %, 1912
for him to show cause why. he should
not be adjudged in contempt for fail
ure to pay alimony, and on Septem-
Der 30, 1912, he was ordered to pay
the alimony in arrears. A third rule,
alleging the nonpayment of $40, then
due, was issued April Is, 1913. Finley
|: in answer to the last rule, asserted
that he had been prepared to sue
for a divorce before his wife's suit
was brought but was d3ssuaded
to be placed in a compromising posi-
ton before witnesses so that his wife
could obtain the divorce. He denied he
had actually been guilty of miscon-
duct.
On this showing, the justice, who
awarded the divorce to Mrs. Finley
ordered an investigation and on Jan
uary 16, 1914, signed a decree annull-
ing the former decree. On the same
day Finley fled suit for divorce
against his wife: This suit was dismis-
sed June 25, 1914. without prejudice.
The next day the husband filed suit
making charges of infdelity against
his wife. This came UP last June be-
fore Justice Siddons, who halted the
proceedings and took under advise
ment Finley's standing to maintain
the suit, which was terminated by the
opinion yesterday.
Justice Siddons points out that Fin
|cy's conscience only began to trouble
him when his wife sought to enforce
the. decree of alimony, after they had
been divorced for more than three
years.

With brand new uniforms ana
oyerfowing with pep and energy the
Colbyites shut out Fitzgerald yester-
dav and incidentally made the heart
of every Dawsonian thrill by showing
them a real base ball team.
From the time that the jumps
beloved out play ball till his honor
called the last strike on Mr.. Garwood
there was never any doubt as to
whom was to be the victor.
Doc Wilder immortalized himself
and to him goes a lot of the credit
for the victory. He had everything
from a fast fast ball to a slow slow
ball, including the quickest drop that
it has been our pleasure to see. only
twenty-seven men faced him. One
reached first base on an error, but
Harper nipped him at second before
he had time to be elated over the
fact The baby made 10 bite the
dust. and did not let one walk. NO
wonder that Dawson is smiling.
Cowboy Jim" Caldwell led the
team with the willow, getting two
of the three safe hits, one OF them
a clean three-bagger to deep right.
He also made a shoe string catch of
what should have been a single by
Gates in the eighth. Lefty Williams
was also in the limelight. AS one
fan said, che went up town and
caught foul
The Thrasher boys from G. NJ. e.
made their first appearance on the
Dawson field, and they strengthened
our team very materially. Ike
fielded we'll and made one Of the
three hits. With Joe Lowe grabbing
everything in sight there was no
chance for a ball to go through that
territory.
Garwood pitched good ball for the
visitors, but three hits with little
rocky fielding behind him proved his
undoing. Gates and Meyers also
showed up we'll for the visitors.

observation-disclosures reply
to the American note concerning the
sinking of the Lusitania, with loss
of more than 100 American lives,
produced a feeling of profound dis
appointment here. Dissatisfaction at
the failure of Germany to answer the
demands of the United States was
reflected in government circles gen.
orally.
President Wilson had retired be-
fore the text arrived, but from
reading of the summary published
and Ambassador Gerard's forecast he
had an accurate impression OF what
it contained.
Secretary Bryan would make no
comment. Other cabinet officers
we're reticent, but there was no con-
cealment anywhere that the answer
from Berlin had produced a grave
situation in the relations between
the United States and Germany.
Just what course the United States
will pursue is as yet undetermined.
A cabinet meeting will be held to-
day to consider the reply to Germa-
ny.
From a previous knowledge of the
presidents position, it was gener-
ally predicted that a prompt answer
would be sent to Berlin, perhaps in
side of twenty-four hours. This is
expected to give the American gov
ernments understanding of the case
that the LuSitania was unarmed,
and carried no concealed guns, that
she sailed from the United States as
a peaceful merchantmen and that
under all the rules of internatlona
law and humanity the vessel should
have been visited and searched and
her passengers transferred to place
of safety, whether she carried am
munitiOn or not. American law does
mot prohibit ammunition from being
carried on passenger ships, it would
be asserted, but only self exploding
materials, and liners in the past have
been permitted to carry arms and
ammunition by special ruling OF the
state department on the meaning OF
the federal statutes.
Germany's failure to even discuss
the reparation demanded by the Am
erican note, and evasion of the re-
quest that guarantees be given Ann
erican vessels and lives be not en-
dangered in the future are the
main points, however, to which the
United States government, it was
generally believed, would advert in
the second note.
