 WIFE BADLY

In this city, Yvonne found life with Patterson unbearable. He subjected her to frequent beatings, and also tried to make her go out to. work. Thursday night the girl rebelIed against this treatment, and said she would leave him. Patterson said that he. would go first. He left his home at 690 Ogden street, and a short time later his wife also went out.
 Patterson, who had been hiding in the yard, then dashed back into the house and locked the girl out. Hav- ingf no friends or acquaintances in this city. Yvonne went to the Bridge port Protective association and told her story. She said that Patterson had frequently taunted her about go- ing away, and had told her that she couldn't get very far because she did not know anybody in this country
 After hearing the girls story war rant was issued for Patterson's ar rest, and he was locked up last night, charged with assault In the City Court this morning, the young wife told in broken English and between sobs of her life with the man. Judge Frederic A. Bartlett continued the case until Monday and the bond was increased to $500.
 The girl is well supplied with clothes. and has a large trunk filled with fine linen which she brought from her home in Belgium. She is now looking for a job, and although she has money enough to return to her home she will not do so until she can go back as a, success and not as a failure.
 The Belgfan's wife bears many more wounds than most soldiers re- ceived in the war. The town in which she lived was frequently bonn barded by both armies and the girl was wounded in the face and arms by shrapnel.
 The entire case will be thoroughly investigated, and the police will make special efforts to determine whether Patterson ever legally married. the woman who claims to be his wifa

CONDITIONS IN SOUTH ARE
 PASSING FAST

Atlanta, Dec. 13.---Rapid recession of the waters at Macon, Georgia, and Montgomery, Ala, where alarming conditions prevailed during the last two days, today marked the passing of the more serious flood conditions on southern rivers.
 The Alabama river is falling rapidly at Montgomery, although it is thought to be rising at Selma, 50 miles west and has flooded part of the city. Dam age at Monegomery was heavy in the industrial district, which was inUn- dated to a depth of from one to ten feet.
 The OcmuIgee river at Macon also shows a steady fall, and the city rap idly is assuming a normal appearance Railroads and manufacturing plants sustained a loss estimated at $500 GOO.
 The floods in Mississippi and at other points in Alabama and Georgia have cleared away, and the list of dead. which now stands at r. prob- ably will not be increased.

ACTIVITIES OF.
 JAPANESE ARE
 BEING NOTICED

Valparaiso, Chile. Dec. 13-Eforts made by Japanese to establish them selves in Chile, particularly in the coal and iron mining fields, are ex- citing considerable interest. There is also talk of the opening up of fishing industries in certain islands to the South, in Localities where Japanese would have particularly good oppor- tunities.
 Those activities awaken in it be- cause it is recognized here that Japan is seeking opportunities in South America for her excess population. Already they have made progress in Peru. In Chile also they are be- ginning this work. and it has been said here that they seek particularly situations that are strong both from a strategetic and industrial stand point, as for example, Conception Bay, where there are many coal mines.
 Certain newspapers in southern Chile have been calling attention to these activities. At the head of Con- ceptfon- Bay, there are coal mines on which, according to newspaper re- ports, -apanese have acquired an option. This option is said to include the mines of Pilpilco for which an offer of 1SO, 900 pounds sterling has been made. The Japanese syndicate, it is reported, plans to develop the coal industry at Conception and intro- duce modern machinery.
 There is no law in Chile which pre- vents the purchase of property by foreigners. It is pointed out here that the negotiations above referred to may result in delivering to Japan an independent base for the develop ment of her influence in the Pacific.

TROUBLES
 IN TRINIDAD
 LEAD TO RIOTS

London, Dec. 13-Labor disturb ances in the British islands of Triui- dad and Tobago, in the West Indies, leading to rioting during which men were landed from the British warship Calcutta, and resulting in several casualties, are reported in official dispatches to the colonial office here Special dispatches pictured the trou- bIes in Trinidad as a rising of the ne groes in which the gOvernm ent build ings at Part of Spain, the principal town of the island, were stormed and held for three days. The official ad- vices given out, however, do not men, ton such an occurrence.
 From today's official messages il appears that the trouble originated in Tobago, p miles northeast ot Trinidad. Seamen from the Calcutta were landed there. The police fired upon the rioters, killing the ring leader.
 At the same time a strike of steve dores in Trinidad occurred and rtoting ensued in which one man was killed.
 Returned soldiers were implicated in the disturbance it is stated. The troubles were mainly due to labor un- rest, which subsided after increased wages had been granted the workers, the messages report,
 oTday's advices announce that port of Spain is quiet, but that country districts are sill disturbed.
 Settlement of the dock workers strike, during which the Trinidad dis turbances referred in the foregoing evidently occurred. was reported in a dispatch from Port Of Spain dated De- cember Il. The message said that normal business conditions had been resumed after the strike had been ended by the ship owners conceding a 25 per cent. inmrease in wages.

 FOR DTVORCES

Because of the rapidly increasing list of divorce actions and the fact that it would be almost impossible to try many of them before next June, a special session for divorces has been arranged for the Superior court next week Judge Joel H. Reed will pre- side over this session which will start Wednesday and continue for two days.
 There are 30 divorces on the list, all uncontested. As the court hears only six cases at the regular calendar ses- sion each Friday, it was realized that the docket could not be cleared up un- less a special session was arranged. Judge Reed is presiding over the present term of the Criminal Superior court but will finish in that court next Tuesday.
