Douglas Fairbanks
Single Again, but
There Are Ru1nors
Court Enters Decree for
Wife, Which Leaves Star
Free to Sign Up for An
other Martial Drama

Douglas Fairbanks, the movie star
yesterday ceased to be a married man.
A final decree of divorce in favor of
Mrs. Fairbanks was signed at White
Plains by Supreme Court Justice
Young.
There was rumor yesterday that
Doug" soon would take advantage of
that feature of the decree which leaves
him free to marry again.
Douglas Fairbanks, jr., was given
into the custody of his mother, who
father was accorded the privilege of
seeing the boy at reasonable periods
Alimony was not mentioned, but it is
understood that a settlement was made
outside of court.
The name of the "other woman" did
not come out in the trial The
papers merely mentioned can unknown
woman" as correspondent.
Last April, when the general public
first learned that there might be
scenario possibilities in the domestic
situation of the Fairbanks, Mrs. Fair
banks told New York newspaper repor
ters of the "other womans" existence,
but she never named her
"There is no good attempting any
longer to ignore the gossip dealing
with Mr.. Fairbanks's fondness for an
other woman" she was quoted as say
ing. Il have been silent for eight
months. She is associated with my
husband in the movies. For the sake
of my boy and my own self l have
come to the conclusi ion that the only
way to stop this gossip is to state
plainly that the gossip is founded on
fact. Mr.. Fairbanks and l have de-
cided on a separation final and COM
plete, but there will be no divorce"
Later Mrs. Fairbanks changed her
mind about the divorce, and filed suit
for one. G. Henry Mahlstedt, who is
her sisters husband, was her attorney.
Fairbanks married Miss Anna Beth
Sully in 1907 at Providence. He left
the stage for a time after his marriage
Mrs. Fairbanks is the daughter Of Dan
iel n. Sully, once known as the "Cotton
King" whose Stock Exchange opera
tions were sensation years ago.

Police Here Most
Brutal of All, Says
Sufragist Leader
Miss Paul Declares Women
Lost Is Banners, Pocket
book, Wrist Watch and
New wBonnet; Total, ST 900

What with counting up their bruises
and planning to renew their campaign
for the Federal amendment with a
"terrible hubbub," the militant suffra-
gists put in a busy afternoon yesterday
at their headquarters at 13 East Forty
first Street
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
National Woman's party, who was the
with the police in front of the Metro
politan Opera House. charged the New
York police with being "the most brutal
and lawless she ever met" Miss Paul
speaks with authority, having partici-
patcd in dozens of battles with the
police of Washington and London.
Never in my life," she said, "have I
known policemen to assault women as
the New York police did last night
What right had they to knocl, US
down, to destroy our banners and allow
private citizens to assist in beating US
up? If we were breaking the law we
should have been arrested at once alf4
taken before a judge.
We have claims against the police
OH lnree or TOUR counts. Ihey destroyed
nearly 81 900 worth of our property.
We had sevcnty-fve banners, worth sis
each, and regalia worth 81 apiece. This
was practically all destroyed We lost
pocketbook, a gold wrist watch and
new spring hat-all in the riot pre-
cipitated by the police.
"The police allowed soldiers and sail
ors from the Salvation Army club next
door to burn our poles"
Miss Paul said the women would not
bring suit for false arrest against the
police, but that they would continue
the fight. Owe shall have a great mass
meeting in Carnegie Hall on Monday
night" she said, "to demand a special
session Of Congress immediately
Miss Paul was asked if she put the
suffrage amendment ahead of the league
of nations in Importance and thought
President Wilson would jeopardize the
league plan for suffrage.
ut is not question of Importance" +"
she said. 81 do not believe our lust
cause could imperil anything that was
really good. If the league is good it
will succeed, regardless of any minor
difficulties"

State Druggists
Would Ostracize
John Barleycoru
No Drug Store Bars, They
Tell Legislators; Bill to
Legalize Prescription
Drinks Is Denounced
ALBANY, March 5.
Hush. little barroom.
DON'T yOu crv.
You II become a drug store
When the state goes drv


When the state goes dry
This verse is blamed by retail drug
gists throughout the state for the Anti
Saloon Leagues bone-dry prohibition
enforcement bill, which makes the drug
stores dispensers of alcohol.
The druggists for that reason sent
their representatives to Albany this
afternoon to ask the Assembly Judi
cary Committee that they be relieved
of the responsibility of handling
liquor at all.
Peter Diamond, of New York City.
chairman of the legislative committee of
the State Pharmaceutical Association,
told the committee a recent conference
of druggists unanimously decided thew
did not want to traffic in liquor in any
shape.
He declared all the druggists wanted
to carry enough alcohol for their own
non potable remedies in which alcohol
is an ingredient. Louis NJ. Mar
tin, chairman of the committee.
then called his attention to the fact
that druggists had not objected to
handling alcohol in dry territory un-
der the existing law, and asked why
the proposed enforcement act.
druggists who did legitimate
business for years" replied Mr.. Dia-
mond, "have since the narcotic drug
act became a law a year ago virtually
abandoned the business, and are now
traffickng exclusively in narcotic
drugs for addicts. Many physicians
have given up legitimate practice and
become narcotic specialists.
"lf you enact this law, and we have
absolute prohibition, there will be
temptation to become purveyors for
addicts of liquor. And we don't want
that verse about the barroom becom-
ing q drug store when the state goes
dry to come true"
Mr. Diamond suggested physicians
be permitted to handle enough liquor
for their own prescriptions. Fred S.
Rogers, of the Middletown Retail
Druggists Association, also asked that
druggists be relieved from handling
liquor after the state goes dry.
Robert G.. Davey, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League, said he was agree
ably surprised to find that the drug
gists wanted to wash their hands of
the liquor traffic and that an amend
ment would undoubtedly be made to
meet their desires.
Because of objections to the en-
forcement bill. an entirely new meas
ure with radical changes is expected
to be drafted within the next few
days. One new provision would give
deputies under the proposed State
Welfare Department, instead of the
county treasurers, the duty Of issuing
commercial permits or traffic in lq-
uors. Mr. Davey announced the anti
Saloon League will fight the B per
cent beer bill, which Assemblyman
George r.. Fearon, of Onondaga, will
introduce.
