THREE DIVORCES
ARE GRANTED

Three divorces were granted yes
terday by Judge William M. Ma1tbie
in the Superior court. Harry Eugene
Griffin secured a divorce from May
Wagner Griffin, and was given the
custody of his son. The couple were
married in November, 1904, and the
wife is said to have deserted her hus-
band in August, 1908. Carrie A
Bouton, of Norwa1k. secured a sepa-
Norwalk, on grounds of cruelty. She
was allowed to resume her maiden
name of Carrie A. Casey. William
H. Austin of Bridgeport won his
freedom from Martha H. Barber Aus
tin, who is now said to be a resident
of Danbury. The couple were mar
ried on Oct. 2, 1898, and the husband
claimed desertion in April, 1915. The

BUSINESS MEN
TOO OPTIMISTIC

London, Oct. % - Business men
outside Russia are prone to be over
optimistic regarding imm ediate trade
prospects in that country, according
to a statement made to The Associat-
ed Press correspondent who recently
crossed Russia, by the only foreign
business man who was then in ST.
IBERIA for the purpose of developing
trade relations with the Bolsheviki.
This man, Henrik Tornb1om, a
Swede, who represeted American
and Swedish concerns in Omsk, ST.
IBERIA, for eight years previous to the
Russian. revolution. returned to Soviet
Siberia during the past summer.
His plan was to arrange for the
exchange of Swedish farm machinery
for vast supplies of wool, flax and
furs which the Bolsheviki stated had
been gathered for shipment at Omsk.
Arriving in ~Omsk he found the
amount of goods available for export
that the goods available had been
stored for years, many of the bales
of hides having become worthless be-
cause of improper handling.
Ten thousand tons of raw material,
mainly wool and hides, available for
export from all Siberia, was Mr..
Tornblom's estimate after his investi-
cation at Omsk.
Raw materials must be the basis
of foreign trade in Russia and ST.
beria,'' said Mr.. Tornblom to The AS
! ISOLATED Press correspondent. "but
| thes tories sent broadcast through
Europe and America of the vast sup
plies of raw material stored along the
| Trans-Siberian railway all ready to
be shipped to foreign countries in
| return for manufactured goods are
1 myths.
WAR, revolution and the resulting
! chaos of the last three years has re-
| suited in nearly all the products OF
| the country being put to use by the
military leaders who have overrun the
country from time to time.
potentially, of course, Siberia re,
sources for raw materials. For min
| era1 wealth. for wool, fax. hides and
] valuable furs, the country to the east
| of the Ura1s cannot be surpassed, but
! there is little to export at the present
| time.
AFTER normal conditions are re-
| stored in Russia and Siberia. foreign
| experts will need to spend much time
| and money reconstructing and de-
| veloping commercial enterprises be-
| fore Siberia's pre-war export figures
| again can be realized. Practically al
| of the great enterprises conducted by
FOREIGNERS in Siberia before the revo-
luton, mines, dairy exports and farm
machinery concerns, practically have
| been DESTROYED. The work of re
building them will be a matter OF
years"
| Because of the difficulties of rail
way transport in Russia, it was de-
cided that the exchange of goods
! principally wool, flax and furs. fol
Swedish farm machinery, is to be
undertaken by the water route from
central Siberia. Raw materials gath
cred at Omsk have been loaded or
river barges and shipped down the
| Irish and the Obi to the Kara Sea
where the goods will be transferred
to ocean-going schooners and taker
to sweden by way of the Arctic
| ocean.

CONVICT PAIR
. BACK IN PRISON

Ossining, N. z. Oct. 20 - George
Stivers and Martin Bassett, the two
escaped Sing Sing convicts captured
near Warner. N. H. yesterday, were
brought back to the prison today by
Warden Lewis E. Lawes and a squad
of armed guards.
The prisoners had led their pur-
suers into four states since their
spectacular escape last Saturday from
Sing Sing, when they felled three
keepers and fed in a stolen automo'
bile.

we left prison. said Bassett. Its

be advanced to a point slightly lower

cost for both systems of transporta-

While the 10-cent fare might
bring some increase in gross revenue

the short rider and in nys opinion

loved long walks aand delighted to
