MELLENS IN TROUBLE
Former President New Haven in Sem
sational Divorce Testimony.

Pittsfield. Mass. Sept. 25.-Mrs.
Charles S. Mellen. wife of the former
president of the New Haven road, was
kicked thru a doorway by her hus-
band, who also slapped her race until
her nose bled, according to testimony
given today by Mellen, who is suing
for the right to dispose of his prop
erty without his wife's consent
Mr.. Mellen explained his confessed
assaults by stating that his wife on
the first occasion had struck him with
a glass ash receiver, nearly breaking
| his nose, and that on the second occa-
sion, while intoxicated, she hit him
with a china egg, injuring his little
finger.
Mrs. Mellen has started divorce pro-
ceedings, which are to be tried next
month. About half of thirty love let
tiers alleged to have been written by
Mrs Mellen to Harry Douglas Brown,
assistant manager of the Vanderbilt
| hotel. New York, lent added spice to
the testimony. Many of the letters
| spondence is the basis for Mellen's
! suit, and serves, also, as the cause of
| an action for 100000 brought against
Mrs. Mellen by Mrs. Brown for alleged
| alienation.
Mellen gave his age as CT and said
| he had married his second wife, the
present Mrs. Mellen. twenty-five years
| ago. in Brooklyn. She was Katherine
Livingston.
Asked as to his wife's attitude to-
ward alcohol Mellep intimated that
she was fond of it and used it freely.
| ''Also she smoked cigarets," he de-
| clared. And our home in Stock
bridge was demoralized. Our two
youngest children were peddlieg pa
pers and others were hanging around
| the postoffice and drug store and act
| ing in a disreputable way for chill
! dren in their circumstances
Mellen declared he had paid his
w1fe's bills and provided her with
$4,000 annually, in addition to which
she had an $1,000 income from her
parents estate

you men down there at the Ma

was the irate declaration over the tel
ephone in a feminine voice last night,
after the Red Cross drive for cloth
ing for the Belgians.
I'VE are sorry we got your wash

clothes for our drive" the man at the

OUT
The woman came, and left in a short
time in deep disgust. The hopeless
ness of picking over nine tons of
clothing in search of a little bundle of
a dozen garments done up for the
laundry was borne in upon the poor
womans consciousness before many
minutes of skating around the ceiling
high pile of clothing was over.
In the basement of the Masonic
building is the cleanup on Tuesdays
Red Cross drive for clothing for refu-
gees. 1t is roughly estimated to con-
tain nine tons of clothing, and the
task before the committee is that of
baling, weighing and shipping that
mass of material that is going out to
bring its bit of comfort to thousands
of Belgian sufferers

DRAFT ORDERS ARE HERE
Service Regulations Contain Few
Changes From Original Plan,

Copies of the new selective service
regulations were received today at the
office of Adjutant General Huffman
and were being assimilated by those
in charge of the draft work in Kan
sas. Few important changes have
been made in the regulations.
One of the changes in the new reg
ulations provides that all draft board
members be paid straight salaries
from September 1, instead of a GER
tain amount per registrant. The ad-
jutant generals office has expended
$4,000 for draft board work from
March 1 to June 80, and considerable
work is to be done before the books
are closed on the old system and the
new system put into force. In the fu-
ture the salaries to draft board Off
Gals will be fixed and no monthly SAL
airy will be allowed for more than
$3.50. Physicians who are members of
the draft boards will receive their
regular examining fees in addition to
whatever salaries they may draw as
members of the boards.

|. W. W. ARE INDICTED
Wichita GRIND Jury Charges Plot fo1
a Reign of Terror in West.

Wichita, Kan, Sept 25.-A plot to
interfere with the war by striking at
the vital food and oil supply of the
United States is charged in an indict-
ment against fifty-one members of the
I. w. w. returned here by a federal
grand jury. Thirty-five of the men
are those now on trial at Wichita and
Of the others eleven were convicted at
Chicago and now are in a United
States penitentiary. Four are fugi-
tives from justice and one is dead.
The men are charged with conspir-
ing to interfere with the oil supply of
the mid-continent Oil field. In investf-
eating this the department of justice
discovered a more far-reaching plot
than was charged in the original in
dictment and while the attorneys for
the thirty-five men were arguing legal
points for delay the grand jury in an
adjacent room returned a 3S-page in
dictment not only containing the orig
inal charges, but adding that the plot
extended to the food supply and in
reference with the obtaining of an
army.
Planned Reign of Terror.
AS outlined in the indictment the
organization, working under various
names, planned to flood the west with
that floating element upon which its
leaders felt it could rely. The, pro-
duction of cereals, lumber in the
northwest, oil, coal. iron and the trans
portation of these was to be inter-
fered with and a general reign OF ter
ror started turnout the west and mid
die west.
In the wheat country the harvest
was to be delayed, hay stacks burned.
threshing machines crippled. and the
man who went to the fields for honest
work driven away. A similar reign of
terror was to be spread thru the oil
fields by obtaining employment in rail-
road shops, where machinery was to
be damaged by sabotage" to hinder
transportation
unpopular some other union not
identified as a regular labor organiza-
ton was to be used, for the letters set
up in the indictment are as antagonis-
tic to the American Federation of La
Dor as to the government and the war

my back was turned for just a minute.

and could guess at the romance in
volved in the lost letters.
The response to the appeal for
clothing by the Red Cross was greater
than was expected, and the amount of
clothing brought in was greatly in ex-
cess of that gathered up in last year
drive.
Along with the gifts of old shoes
and lying next to packages of faded
and worn clothing, are bundles of the
costly garments of millionaire. The
clothing that had belonged to the late
II. p. Dillon was sent to help the
cause in which he had been deeply in
terested, his widow giving for the
comfort of others what he would need
no more.
DR.. j. d. Freeman was at the head
of the conservation committee which
conducted the drive. The members of
his committee are: Fred Voiland.
George Stansfield, J. B. Doncyson.
Frank r. Conwell and N. V. Wood.
The committee gives a g, eat deal of
praise to the Boy Scouts who helped
in gathering the bundles and in placing
them in the storage room after they
were brought to the building. The
boys, by the way, had their own fun
out of it, too. Occasionally the bun
dies that were not too well tied up
were frisked for articles of interest to
the lads, for their personal adornment
during the drive thru the streets, or
until the machine boss with whom
they happened to be teaming, discov-
cred their makeup and ordered it
taken off. 1t was no uncommon sight
to behold the scouts trigged out in a
| trailing skirt and an old hat perched
| rakishly on the back of the head. or
| to see one of them lodging from
porch to porch arrayed in a long cor
set. covering him from shoulders to
knees like a plate of armor, with the
hose supporters dangling about the
| leggings of his scout uniform

TO UNITE RUSSIA
National Conference Is Now in
Session at Uffa.
According to Reports to Rus
sian Embassy Here.
ALL FACTIONS REPRESENTED
Only the Bolsheyiki Barred
From the Sessions.
Seeks To Unite Local Govern
ments Now Operating.
Ry JOSEPH sHAPLEN.

Washington, Sept. ga great po-
IiticaI conference, the purpose of
which is the creation of a central gov
eminent for the whole of Russia. is
taking place at Uffa, according to
cable received by the Russian en-
bassy from the joint Siberian govern
ment at Omsk.
The conference is attended by rep
resentatives of all political parties, ex-
GLIDING the Bolsheviki and several
hundred members of the constituent
assembly, the cable stated. NJ. Avksel-
nieff, former minister of agriculture
in Kerensky's cabinet, and leader of
the social revolutionists, is presiding.
The social revolutionists are the
dominating element.
Officials at the embassy expressed
the hope that the conference would
be able to agree to some definite plan
of united government. for Russia, a
government that wound combine the
respective regional governments re-
Gently established in eastern and west
ern Siberia and the Archangel and
Murmansk regions.
Would Abrogate Brest- LitOvsk.
The first act of such a government,
it was explained, would be the abroga-
ton of the Brest-Litovsk treaty, the
re-entrance of Russia into the war
and an agreement with allies for the
restoration of the eastern front, and
the joint Russo-Japanese prosecution
of the war against Germany in the
east.
The embassy officials pointed out
that while there are unquestionably
many barriers to be overcome on the
road to Russia's unification, that ulti-
mately it will be accomplished in time
to enable Russia once more to play
an independent and sovereign part in
the international situation.
Will Never Join Huns.
Discussing the threat recently made
by Nicholas Lenine, of an alliance be-
tween the Bolsheviki and Germany
embassy officials declared:
This threat, if executed by Lenine
would carry but little significance as
regards the interests of Russia and
| the allies. For an alliance between
