ASKING DIVORCE
HUSBAND Says He
We'd WHILE INSANE
Most Unusual Divorce Suit Ever Filed
In Local Circuit Court-Husband
Asks That Marriage Be Set
Aside BY Court.

William Hampton, recently returned
from the State Hospital at Lexington,
filed suit in the Mason Circuit Court
Thursday afternoon asking a divorce
from his wife, Cynthia Mitchell Hamp-
ton.
Probably the most unusual grounds
ever offered in suit for divorce in the
local court, is cited by this plaintiff in
his petition. Mr.. Hampton says that at
the time Of his marriage he was of un-
sound mind and lunatic and wholly
incapable and incompetent to consent
to or engage in marriage ceremony.
He asks that the court adjudge his
marriage with the defendant wife a
nullity and invalid and of no force and
effect.
Mr.. Hampton was recently adjudged
sound by a jury and restored his estate
which was managed by a committee
during his treatment at Lexington.

SOLDIER BODIES ARE
SAVED FROM fire
Bodies Of Returned Soldier Dead Hast
lily Moved From Hoboken
Pier OH Fire.

Hoboken, N. j., August 25. Five
hundred bodies Of American soldier
dead, awaiting shipment to the homes
OF relatives, were removed In safety
late Wednesday when fire Of unknown
origin swept over the army water
front reservation here, destroying
Piers s and and an adjoining army
storehouse and barracks.
Pier 4, at which the giant liner
Leyiathan and the transport Wheaton
we're docked, was saved with difficulty.
The flames licked the sides Of the
Leviathan, damaging a small section
Of the woodwork on the bog and the
forward mast, but fire boat wedged
its way between the liner and the
burning pier and successfully fought
off the flames as they spread to the
huge craft.
When the fire started there were
500 bodies in the large rooms at the
junction Of Piers 4 and 5. As soon as
the alarm was sounded, Captain H. S.
Wilbur, Officer Of the Day, called out
the entire army personnel, about $50
men, who removed the bodies.

SEARCH IS Begun
FOR THOSE LOST IN
GREAT DISASTER
Effort Is Being Made TO Save Bodies
Of American and British Naval
Officers Who Died In Explo.
sion OF Dlrlgible.

Hull, England, August 25I Divers
began at dawn today to explore the
fire-twisted wreck OF the dirigible
zR-2 which last evening exploded
above this city and fell into the Hum
ber, carrying with her more than 40
of her crew. Only one American, Nor
man o. Walker, a rigger, and four
British - Flight Lieutenant A. H.
'Wann; Ernest Davis. airman; H. Bate
man, scientific assistant, and Walter
Potter, mechanic. survived the disaster
that in twinkling changed the trial
cruise Of the airship into a ghastly
tragedy.
During the hours Of darkness that
followed the collapse and destruction
Of the ZR-2. tugs stood by the wreck
age and keen eyes scanned the water
for any bodies that might have been
dislodged by the tide that flowed over
all that remained Of what was yester-
day Great Britain's mightiest dirigible,
which officials expected to turn over
to the U. s. Navy today.
It was believed that the ruins of the
dreadnought held the bodies Of Is
American and twenty-six British Off
GERS and enlisted men who were en-
gagged in the final test of the machine.
All hope that there might be other sur
vivors Of the disaster was dissipated
during the night.

BUTCHER KNIFE WAS
USED BY BOOTS
Examining Trial Of Man Held Here for
Lewis County Murder to be
Held Next Monday.
The vanceburg Sun says:

Inc VanceDurg Sun says:
About dozen witnesses of the
Cooper killing from Indian were called
here Monday and examined by the
prosecution. The examining trial of
Boots will be held the coming Monday.
Since last report In The Sun of the
killing, we have learned that the stab
bed man received practically no medi-
cal aid. The wound was not even
closed to keep the entrails from COM
ing out, which they most assuredly
would do on hard trip over such
roads as between there and Ports
mouth. The injured man was allowed
to suffer 10 awful hours before death
relieved him, as nothing was given him
to counteract the shock Of the cut or
the auto trip.
Mr.. Stacy, the man who was cut on
the arm, likewise suffered inattention,
and when brought to town for medical
aid had lost much blood.
Mr.. Thompson, whose overcoat,
blouse and overalls were slashed, was
present Monday. The knife, supposed
to have been the one used, was found
in the bushes through which Boots
fled 1t is much worn butcher knife.

PUNCH TIME CLOCK,
Or PAY HEAVY FINE
New York Member Has Bill
to Make 1t Easier to
Get Quorum.

Washington, Aug. members of
the senate and house virtually would
be required to punch the clock under
a bill introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Kissel, Republican, New
York.
As a result of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning a house quorum with so many
members eager to get away for the
dog days. Mr.. kissel proposed that
salaries be doubled, with heavy daily
fines for senators and representatives
failing to show up for a double daily
roll call-at the start and close OF
every session. The man absent with
out leave for one day of a legislative
week would lose his weeks pay. For
Il JO-day session the penalty for a
days leave would be $500, with a fine
of $50 day for Il session lasting
100 days.
Within the past week the house had
a job trying to get 217 of the 435
members present at one time to enable
it to perform business During the
session Monday point of no quorum
twice necessitated long delay after a
roll call while clerks were sent out to
round up members. After the second
attempt the house got tired and quit.

ALL CONSIDER
ACENDA IS Of
MOST IMPORT
Japan Is Not Alone
in Wanting Scope of
Conference Limited.
1t Is Not Believed That
This Phase Will Cause
Any Serious Delay.

Washington, Aug. differentiation
of the date for the disarmament con-
ference was understood Monday to
rest largely in the foreign offices at
London, Paris and Toxic. The diplo-
matte representatives of the invited
powers have conferred with Secretary
Hughes concerning beginning the con-
ference Nov. II or upon some date,
and have in turn referred the ques-
tion to their respective governments5
Representatives of foreign govern
ments have made it plain that they
regard determination of the agenda
more important than the date of meet
ing.
They are understood to have report
ed in detail to their governments the
desire of Secretary Hughes to leave
the main body as much work as pos
sible, but there is increasing evidence
that Japan is not alone in her insist
ence that the scope of the conference
be more clearly outlined, although con-
sideration of that phase of the plans
is not expected to give rise to further
delay in issuing the formal invitation.
1t is believed the ambassadors expect
to receive from their home offices in
structions as to the parts they shall as
sumo in adding to or taking or from
the list of subjects that may be dis
cussed.

SCIENTIST PLANS
TRANSP0[AR FLIGHT,
ALASKA To NORWAY
Start at Point Barrow in Sep
tember and Land at
North Cape.

Washington, Aug. IA transpolar
flight to begin in September from
Point Barrows, Alaska, to Spitzbergen
and the North Cape, Norway, was an
nounced here Monday by Edwin Fair
fax Naulty ,of New York. Scientific
observation of ocean, air and ice cur
rents will be the chief purpose of the
trip. he said, with the hope of estab-
fishing the feasibility of the new route
for commerce as secondary consid-
Grafton.
As announced, the start will be made
from Seattle with convoy of several
planes which will proceed by easy
stages up the Alaskan coast to Point
Barrow. The arctic flight will be
made by one plane, which has already
been constructed, carrying four men,
including Mr.. Naulty.
Fuel was conceded to be the chief
problem of the proposed expedition.
A supply ample for 80 hours of con
tinuous flying will be carried, it was
said, and those planning the attempt
expressed the belief that this would
furnish an excess which would permit
short byflights at the first landing
place on the polar ice and at the pole
itself. If no landing places are found,
it is the intention to make the /, $50
mile hop without a stop.
If the first flight is successful, others
will be undertaken at once it was said,
with view to settling definitely the
location of the magnetic pole.
