Cargo of Nitrates
 Now Worth Millions

New York, July 7-The German sail- ing ship Indra began to discharge here today a cargo of nitrate from Chill va.ued at $1,000, ,000. When she arr rived here bringing the cargo, in Sep tember. 1914. it was worth only $125.- 0oolbpt the demapd for the chemical for the manufacture of explosives has greatly increased it's prices since then. The result is that while lying in this port for nearly two years the value of the cargo has increased $850,000.
 The Indra was bound from a Chiifan port to Dunkirk. France when the European war began. The captain headed for New York on learning that war was declared. Consignee of the cargo began litigation to compel him to carry it to Dunkirk but he declined to take his ship to sea where she might be captured.

.TANCLE ENSUES
 WHEN MARRIAGE
 PROVES ILLEGAL
Complication Over Estate When Widower Can't Pro-
 duce Certificate.

Unusual complications in family, banking and legal circles have arisen over a marriage which was not mar riage. As a result of the recent dis closures papers os administration is- sued in the probate court and bank payments will be revoked, while the civil suits threatened will be settled out of court
 entertained by Stephen Fendorak, an employe of the Atlas Shear Co. living on Spruce street, and the late Mary rtage license and a visit to a priest constituted marriage.
 On Sept. IA, 1915, following a mu- tual agreement of marriage the couple appeared in city hall and procured a permit of marriage. They journeyed to a church in South Norwalk where upon, learning that the woman had been married before in Hungary the priest refused to perform the cere- mony until he had ascertained from abroad that the former husband was dead.
 A misunderstanding arose it is claimed, when the words: .Go home, my children, and sll will be well'' were construed by the couple as mar1- age ceremony. They lived together in the house of the girls mother.
 On Dec. 24, 1915, before word had been received from Hungary that the woman had right to marry she died in this city leaving considerable es- tate. distributed in Bridgeport Savings banks. Fendorak applied for admin istration papers and got them. The family was willing that, as husband of the girl, he should have the estate In an effort to get the money from the banks. the last one visited demurred until 8 marriage license was display ed.
 Investigation showed that none had been issued and the facts came to light The mother of the girl through Attorney W. H. O'Hara began pro- ceedings to change the administration and Attorney Ernest Berger was call ed to represent the misinformed youth. A settlement satisfactory to all concerned is said to have been ef- fected by the lawyers.

Don't Believe Men In
 Auto Fired Fatal Shot

Investigation by the police dis credits the theory that men in an au- tomobile fired the shot that proved fatal to Mrs. Mary Summers of New ark, N D.. Tuesday evening. It has been shown that the automobile whose occupants were suspected, was 300 or 400 feet from the southwest corner of Park place and Broad street where Mrs. Summers fell. The trees on the sidewalk obstruct any shots that might have been fired from the auto mobile.
 The police now believe that the ehofs were fired by someone in the lot that extends from Main street to Broad street, as it is in direct line with the spot where Mrs. Summers collapsed.

production of the greatest attraction
which is now in New York where it
has broken every record Of the Am
erican stage These achievements
alone have aroused more comment
upon the subject Of this great story
than was ever devoted to theatrical
enterprise before.
The merest statement regarding
"The Birth Of Nation" leaps to sup
crlatives because there is no other
form in which it can be written. Sim
pie facts in relationship TO its devel-
opments sound extravaganza until you
have seen the production and realized
1.-THE OF it's sweep and power. 1t
covers the essential details of Ameri-
can history ranging through three
centuries. Actual battles are shown
with tens Of thousands of soldiers in
the conflict. Eighteen thousand people
participated in the telling of the
story, Three thousand horses were
used to give the eavalry and other
thrilling effects of the wild dashes
over miles of territory, Cities were
built up only to be destroyed by fire.
The total cost of the entire. ,pEeduc7-
ton was in the neighborhool of $780,
600. Five hundred costumers: land
seamstresses worked fort three months:
to make the costumes Worn the:
people: Ten thousand yards ;:of cloth
We're worked into the costumes worn.
by the women while $4,000 yards of
white muslin were used up in the re-
gala of the Ku Klux .Nansmen. And
yet with all this a simple, human
story of love and romance weaves
through the vast spread Of the ac-
ton and grips the hearts of the aud
fence. The narrative settled with
tears and smiles. A symphonic score
accompanies, the action and lends a
potent force to the drama.
