DIVORCE SUIT DIARY READ IN
 COURT TODAY
Continued From Page one.)

Mrs. Parks daily reports of her sister-in-law's actions generally began with a description of what Mrs. Kup- fer wore. A typical extract from the diary read like this: "She started out al 9:45 in the morning. Had on gray spats and shoes and her new black dress. Went into the Professional building and returned home at II o'clock. Took bath.'' You couldn't see through the spy hole where she was dressing, could you ?'' asked Attorney McManus. i! NO, sir,'' was the reply. You depended upon your inspec- | ton later for that?"
 "YeS, sir.''
 Mrs. Park noted on one morning in May that Mrs. Kupfer was ''an dolled up" and that she carried a bunch of fessionaI building. When Mrs. Kup. fer returned the witness wrote in her diary: t'She is whistIing and singing so she is happy today l Attorney McManus wanted to know why Mrs. Park wrote that her sister in-law was happy.
 1 Because she was generally cranky was the reply.
 Well, you couldn't blame her, 1 yOu 11ldI was pSSddSS you 4AA terfered with her work, wasn't it?'' asked the lawyer.
 | Mrs. Park denied she interfered with Mrs. Kupfer's work.
 Another observation in the diary 1 was, ttShe surprised me by raking up the yard.' When asked the reason for the surprise, Mrs. Park replied that the yard was in a terrible state Attorney McManus inquired why as he returned from his work shortly after D. m. The witness replied that her brother had other things to do. Attorney McManus accused Mrs. Park of shading all her observations so as to make things look suspicious for Mrs. Kupfer. The witness replied
 that she only kept the diary to help
 her brother.
 It is expected that the trial will
 continue for several days inasmuch as
 Mrs Kupfer, who is also suing hef
 husband for divorce, has not given
 her version of the affair yet
 It was brought out that Kupfer en- gagged detectives to watch his wife and they saw her go into the Profes sionaI building. The spectators smiled
 when Mrs. Park testified that one oi
 the detectives told her he saw Mrs
 Kupfer go into the postooffice. Coun- se1 for Mrs. Kupfer first objected tC l the admission of this statement but
 later decided to let it remain or l record.

PARTLY ''SCRAPE" ABOUT MONEY
 STILL IN COURT

The attempt of Mrs. Sarah J. Lyddy of this city to collect a claim of g, ,309 from the estate of Charles A. ConIin, late of Trumbull, was resumed this morning before Judge KeeIer and a jury in the Superior court. It is a family dispute and the matter wax threshed out once before when pro- bate commissioners refused to allow the greater part of Mrs. Lyddy's claim. She appealed to the Superior court from that decision.
 Mrs Lyddy claimed she loaned Con.
 lin, who was her brother, the sum of $2,000 in 1916. He promised to repas her, she said, but had not done SC when he died in 1918 John E. Lyddy. husband of the plaint tiff, testified thi: morning that he saw his wife give Con- lin $500 one night in 1916 and saw the remainder of the 5000 passed over tf Conlin the next day.

CUB REGULARS WILL PLAY STAR PHOENIX
 TEAM APRIL SIXTH

The Chicago Cubs, including such stars of the diamond as Grover Cleve- land Alexander, Bill Killifer, Hippo Vaughn. Dave Robertson, Charley Deal and Holly Hollocher, will play Phoe- nix second annual visit on April G. A contract to this effect has already been signed by local sportsmen who as an ideal spot as a training ground for some major league ball club.
 The splendid turnout of Phoenix fans on the occasion of the clubs first visit here last year has resulted in Manager Fred Mitchell and his cohorts bestow ing upon this city a singular honor the team between Pasadena and Kan sas City.
 Incidentally, as the team is sched uled to appear here less than a week before the opening of the National league season. Phoenicians can rest assured that the team will be playing high class ball, such as is to be expected from a major league club.
 A team of picked valley players will take the field against the cubs on the afternoon of April 6, according to pres ent plans, to be strengthened by one of the Cub batteries. Arrangements are now under way for having Alex ander and Kiilefer work for the Phoe- nix team against the Cubs. with Hippo Vaughn on the slab for Mitchells men.
 The Cubs are recognized as one of the formidable cortenders for the 1920 pennant. On paper, the team is equally as strong as any team in the senior major circuit and with a good start should put up a hard fight throughout the flag race.
