of divorce granted to Mrs. Ora
Smith Iring by Judge Samuel B.
Kirby in Louisville last week was
destroyed by order of Judge Kirby,
who had not yet signed the decree
The reason assigned by the judge
for this unusual procedure was that
the matrimonial history of Mrs.

"smacks of progressive polyandry'
The court, it was stated, had
learned that the divorce was the
third obtained by Mrs. Iring and
that she contemplated taking 0. w.

her fourth husband and that the lat
ter had already presented her with

DENY SOCIALISTS THEIR SEA
DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO BACK WILSON
ON PEACE ISSUE
Treaty, as Campaign Issue,
Looms as Government Lead
ers Gather for Banquet.

Washington, Jan. THE peace
treaty as a campaign issue loomed
conspicuously on the political hor.
izon today as democratic leaders
gathered for the quadrennial meet
ing of the democratic national COM
mittee, laid preliminary plans for
the presidential contest.
Already oversha dowing the fight
for the national convention, which
apparently has narrowed to Kansas
City and San Francisco, discussion
of the treaty got an additional i'm
petus when it became known that
tomorrow the committee would be
asked by its officers formally to
put itself squarely behind Presi-
dent Wilson in his stand in the
treaty controversy:
Resolution Prepared.
A resolution making such a dec
laration was prepared for presen-
tation and chairman Cummings pre-
dicted that it would be adopted.
1t. is understood to be an endorse
ment OF the presidents course, with
out declaring specifically for un-
reserved ratification, but Mr.. Cum
mings said the intention was to
make its language SO plain that
There would be no doubt that the
party stood behind the president
The announcement stirred up end
less speculation when it was coupled
with unverified reports that William
J. Bryan would advocate a differ
ent course in his speech at the
Jackson day banquet tomorrow
night No one professed to know
Mr.. Bryan's intentions, but many
committeeman were turning over
in their minds various stories quot
ing him as advocating ratification
with any compromise that could be
secured.
Another Unknown Quantity.
Involved in the possibilities of this
situation was another unknown
quantity-the message which Presi-
dent Wilson is to send to the BAN
quet. 1t generally has been, as
sumed that he will touch on the
treaty. but there has been no infor-
nation as to how far he may go or
whether he will urge that ratihca-
ton be made an active issue in the
campaign.
Occupied with these~rehections,
the committee members apparently
have given little attention to the
subject of possible candidates, sew
eral of whom will pronounce their
views On public questions at tomor-
row nights banquet. On this sub
ject, also, there has been hesitancy
because of uncertainty over the in
tentions of Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Bryan. Some committee members
believe that a more positive declara-
ton from one or both may come to
light tomorrow night.
Although San Francisco and
Kansas City apparently were we'll
