non suffrage stete, into the enfran-
chised states to line up the women

Case Of Eleanor Pendleton
Davidson and Louis Mar
shall Ream Again Finds
It's Way Into Court.

New York, April Former Senator
Edgar T. Brackett. Of counsel for Miss
Eleanor Pendleton Davidson, former
show girl, announces that he will ap-
pear before the supreme court In Sara :
toga county tomorrow to argue on a
motion contesting the validity of the
annulment of Miss Davidson's marriage
to Louis Marshall Ream, son of the
iate Norman B. Ream, multi million
aire capitalist Of Chicago and New
York. The plaintiff in the case asserts
that the annulment Of the marriage was
obtained through fraud and collusion.
Miss Davidson's present fight recalls
the pull licity given her romantic we'd
ding and later separation from young
Ream, who last fall received IS, ,0O0. 900
under the will Of his father At the
present time the son Is employed as
superintendent in one of the mills Of
the American Ire and Steel company
at Worcester, Mass.
According to Attorney Bracket. Miss
Davidson, who is said to have been re-
lated to General Robert e. Lee. was
told that her marriage to young Ream
was irregular because the justice of the
peace who had performed the ceremony
lacked the proper authority.
The suit for the annulment," says
Mr Bracket, was tried before q ref
cree IN Troy, who reported favoring
the decree after conducting hearings.
Judge Chester signed tho final papers.
In the papers 1t appears that Miss Da-
wilson was represented by a firm of
attorneys, whom she declares that she
never saw"
According to the papers filed in the
present case young Ream and Miss
Davidson were married Sept. 1, 1911, in
Hoboken. following a short acquaint-
ance. A few days later Ream decided
he had better make trip to Thompson,
Conn.,. where lis father was living, and
inform him of the marriage. He sent
te,egrams enroute to his wife, but these
ceased when he reached his fathers
home. and from that time until the
present Miss Davidson has not seen
her husband, her attorney declares.
According to Mr.. Bracket she received
a sum Of money, little more than
$4,000, by way of settlement.

that appeals because of its SINGER
ity, a proper tangle of plot which

artfully unravelled, number of
sharp dramatic climaxes and real
thrills, and above all, a sustained
wholesome and refreshing quality
OF fun, combine TO make Char

The piece furnishes many myster-

moments, that are all the more en-
joyable because of the substantial
quality of its story, in which addi-
tional appeal is furnished by the
fact that its scenes have been en-

Accomplishing Great Results.

That the Northern Wisconsin
Spe 1ial which is now touring parts
of Minnesota and Iowa on an ad-
vert sing mission is accomplishing
greater results than had been an
ticipated even by its promoters, is
the statement of J. w. Hicks of
Prentice, who left the train this
week. The special stops, he said,
on an average of a day at each
place; its coming is thoroughly
plaCarded i'll advance. and from
morning until late at night its
coaches swarm with people who
come to view Wisconsin products
and see and hear the story of what
our state has to offer.
Omaha officials, over whose road
this educational project is being
tried, are so we'll pleased with the
interest it is creating that they are
planning a much larger equipment
and a more extended schedule for
another cruise next fall A prom
inent Northwestern official also ac-
Companied the Wisconsin boosters
for two days and then sent word to
his offices that a schedule should
be arranged over the Northwestern
a schedule which would pick up
the travelling exhibition when her
present itinerary on the Omaha
closes Nov. IS and take her over
their rails through Iowa and Illi-
nois and into Chicago about Christ
mas.
Mr.. Hicks stated that an aver
age of 500 people had daily wan
dered down the aisles between a
wonderful array of crop and soil
exhibits, maps and bulletins and
that already numerous inquiries for
some of the pedigreed seeds shown
there had come in to Wisconsin
growers. A number of movie reels
portraying state agricultural activ-
titles and big list of slides are
proving popular parts of the de-
monstration.
