COUPLE lSsDIVORCED
Sensational Trial Behind Closed Doors
Results in Victory For Mrs. Sophia
Kerr.

HAMMOND, Ind.-Closed doors have
but added the spice of mystery and
conjecture to the divorce suit of John
Kerr, a wealthy Gary contractor, and
Mrs. Sophia Kerr which ended today
after ten days of private sessions in a
complete victory for the wife.
Kerr came into court with a sup
posed confession in which Mrs. Kerr
named Walter Miller of Mansfield, o.
Mrs. Kerr's answer was that her hus-
band had extorted the confession from
her by locking her up in their home
for six weeks.
Judge Greenwald granted Mrs Kerr
a decree of absolute divorce, $4,000
alimony, and $50 month for support
of her child Kerr also must pay 49,
900 in attorney and witness fees, and
all costs. The Ohio man whom he
named has sued for $4,000 and other
men accused as correspondents also
are to use.
The Kerrs were well known in this
city, where they formerly lived and
near which Mr.. Kerr owns 120 acres
of fine land. During the suit % wit
nesses were examined and IL deposit
tons from five states, including sew
eral from Twin Falls, were read. The
utmost secrecy prevailed at all times
during the suit and also during the
taking of the dispositions in this city.

MORGRNTHAT RESIGNS
FROM TURKISH POST

WASHINGTON Henry Morgenthau,
American ambassador to Turkey, has
rendered his resignation to President
Wilson, and it probably will be ac-
cepted. Abram 1. Elkus, a New York
lawyer, is expected to succeed him.
Reports of Mr. Morgenthau's inten-
ton to resign to take part in the cam
Daign for Mr.. Wilson's reelection
have been current for several weeks
since he returned from Constantinople
on a vacation. He had planned to re
turn to his post during the first week
of May. Recently he saw Presldant
Wilson and later said he was consider
ing resigning.
Mr. Morgenthau is expected to take
up important organization work for
the Democratic party in the coming
campaign. This step has been urged
upon him by some of his closest
friends. His work in Turkey has won
him praise from both the president and
Secretary Lansing, and it is under
stood Mr. Wilson has been reluctant
to accept the resignation.

the filing of his report the board
should finally accept the irrigation
system in its entirety discharge the
company from further liability under
its contracts, release the bond execut-

and transfer the ownership and con-
troll of the system to the Big Wood

limited. The application was filed af-
ter reading.
At its meeting Wednesday the board
declined the request of the Idaho Irri-

NINETY MILLION A DAY COST
OF STRUGGLE IN EUROPE

NEW YORK-War is now costing
the nations of Europe more than nine
ty million dollars a day, according to
estimates prepared in a booklet to be
issued by the Mechanics and Metals
bank of this city. OF this enormous
total, the principal burden falls on
the entente allies. The bank estimates
that the cost per hour to England,
France and Russia is approximately
$2,500,OO0, while to the Teutonic en-
pires the cost is in excess of $1,000
000
The total cost of the war, if it is
still in progress on August l next, will
have been $45,OOO,OOO,OOO. OF this sum,
Great Britains share will have been
S11, 100000, 600, Germany's a trifle less,
and Frances $9,25O,OOO,OOO.
Two years of the war, the booklet
states, will cost six times more than
the full amount expended in the civil
war: will reach sum 40 times more
than the amount of our national debt
and will be 120 times more than the
cost of the Panama canal.

FLOOD WATERS FILL WOOD
RIVER AND MAGIC DAM

Ed Robinson, of Robinson G. Pence,
was up Wood river a few days since
as far as Cottonwood and found the
river rushing, muddy stream in
places almost out of its banks. In sew
eral places a very slight additional
rise in the river would flood the road.
Mr.. Robinson said it did not look like
much fishing on that stream for some
time to come.
Concerning the high water it was
reported the first of the week that the
Magic reservoir was full to capacity
and that the flood was going over the
spillway. Hence great quantities of
flood water will go down stream this
spring that might be conserved and
used somewhere later in the season
were there storage provided some
where on the river.=Jerome News.

BRITISH COMMANDER
SURRENDERS FORCES
Troops BeSieged at Kut-eI-Amara
Give Up to Turks
BESIEGED HAVE HELD OUT SINCE
LAST DECEMBER.
Guns and Munitions Destroyed Before
Surrendering. Was EndeavOring to
Take Bagdad.

LONDON, April 30, 4:45 p. m.-Maj
Gen. Charles Townshend, commander
of the British forces besieged at Kut-
el-Amara, Mesopotamia, by furnish
forces since last December, has sur
rendered. This information was con-
tanned in a British official statement
issued this afternoon.
The official statement added that
Gen. Townshend destroyed all his
guns and munitions before surrender
ing
The British forces late last fall were
driven into a dangerous pocket near
Kutel-Amara by the Turks after oper-
ations further north by Gen Towns
bend in which he was making an eff
fort to capture Bagdad. Just when he
was in sight of this coveted point the
MOslems drove him down the Tigris
and have held him there in a precari-
GUS position since. Gen. Townshend
was conducting a campaign designed
to protect the Suez canal by diver
sions further east to occupy the at
tention of the Turks, to prevent Ger
man incursions into Mesopotamia, to
meet Persian opposition and to CO.
operate with the Russians in their eff
fort to drive the Turk out of Asia
Minor. In the past few weeks there
have been renewed efforts to push
the relief column on to Kut-el-Amara
Comments in London upon the long
siege state the casualties in General
Townshend's force to have been at
least 500, and as the town is among
the deadliest in the world and the sea-
son is now at its worst the need for
relief was by now desperate. General
Lake reported a victory two weeks
ago in a battle on the right (sOuth)
bank of the Tigris, where a north
west gale drove water into the Turk
ish trenches, which became untenable
The Turks were compelled to retreat
over a distance varying from one and
a half to three miles and were subject
ed to severe punishment while falling
back to new positions. On April Is
gradual but steady progress was
made by the British forces, which con-
tinued to advance on the south side
of the Tigris. In a report covering
operations on the night of April 1913
General Lake says the Turks made a
series of strong counter-attacks south
Of the Tigris, and the British lines
were forced back from 500 to 500
yards. From this time on the Turks
have gained ground and made the
British position perilous. The British
relief expedition sent in in January
from the Persian gulf up the Tigris
failed to effect a junction with Towns
hend's forces in time to be Of material
service to him.
