TWOHUSBANDS
ASK DIVORCE Of
SAME WOMAN
No. 2 Says She MisIed Him Into
Marriage, Telling Him
She Was Free.

NORFOLK. Va. Aug. 22.-Two hus
bands suing the same woman for di.
vorce is the unique case Judge
Hanckle. of the city circuit court, will
he called on to decide. The woman
is Mrs. Lucy Pope, formerly Lucy
Taliaffero, and one time Lucy Candle.
The ~. won are Claude f. Taliaf-
Zero and owen l.. ~. The former
charges the woman misled him into
marrying her in Philadelphia, June
%, 1919, by telling him she was di
vorced from Pope. The latter, after
he heard of her marriage to Taliaffero,
sued for divorce. The pair have been
separated for some time.
Taliaffero did not learn that his wife
was not divorced until she went on
trip to visit relatives. Then she
wrote that she had not been legally
separated from Pope. Taliaffero's bill
of complaint, besides accusing his wife
of deceiving him. declares she paid too
much attention to other men. Pope,
in his suit, says she wanted to go to
dances too often, and IL she could not
get any other man to take her. she
would ask him to go along.

CABINET SPLIT
ON|NDEMN|TY
Finance Minister to Reconsider
Resignation rendered When
Premier Repudiated Pact.

PARIS, Aug. 22.-That shake-up
of the French cabinet over the in.
demnity issue was narrowly averted
over the weekend. was larned today
from a reliable source.
NJ. Doumer, minister OF finance,
handed his resignation to Premier Bri-
and because the premier refused TO
accept the Indemnity plan of the al
lied finance ministers last week.
The premier refused TO accept the
resignation because he wished the
ministry to remain intact during the
delicate negotiations that are now
pending on international matters.
NJ. Doumer decided to take a two
weeks vacation TO think over the mat
ter. The finance ministers had
agreed TO distribution of German in
demnity on the basis of priority
claims. and Doumer had accepted on
behalf of France. When the agree
ment was rendered to Premier BRAND
he repudiated Doumer's acceptance.

30OWOODS SHIPS
ARE To Be SOLD
F0RS2,100EACH
lasker Decides Idle "White 6le-
plant" Must Go to Cut
Upkeep Cost.
BY international News Service.

The wooden ship fleet, which has
caused controversy and expense to
the Shipping Board for many months,
is about to be disposed OF, it was
learned today.
Under present plans, the Ship Con-
struction and Trading Corporation to-
morrow will sign a contract for the
purchase of more than 200 of these
wooden ships, which have been riding
idly at anchor for many months.
1t is understood that the price
agreed upon is 2,I00 each. which is
far below the construction cost OF the
vessels to the Government, out which
officials declare is better than the high
expenditure necessary to maintain the
ships at anchor.
The sale of the ships at $1,000
apiece will net the Government about
GO cents per lightweight ton, 1t is es-
timated. The cost of the vessels was
approximately $3.50 a lightweight ton.
Shipping Board officials explain that
this great loss must be charged up to
war costs, that the ships were built
as an emergency measure as part of
the bridge of ships" TO carry war
supplies to France.
After having served this purpose
the ships were found to be without q
market.
Last year nearly a million dollars
was spent on the wooden ships, which
have been anchored in Atlantic and
Pacific ports, and this expenditure for
guarding and maintaining unused
property is too high, Chairman Las
ker has decided, and therefore he is
ready to make a sacrifice on the cost
price of the vessels I'm order to dispose
of this marine white elephant"
Nearly 800 ships were built'for the
Shipping Boards wartime uses. With
the disposal of 200 OF these, it is the
hope of the Shipping Board that some
use may be found for those remaining
and that expenditures for mainte-
nance may be greatly reduced.

PEN W0MEN'S
LEAGUE SEEKS
QUARTERS
Looking for Larger Building in
Anticipation of Farley on
Disarmament.

In order to accommodate the large
number of women delegates and jour.
nalists expected to attend the d!sarma.
ment conference, the National League
Of American Pen Women is looking
around for a larger headquarters
building than at 1922 H street north
west, which will serve permanently a.
the new headquarters for the OF ganiza-
ton, II was announced today.
Search is in progress for a 100000
structure in thedowntown section OF
the city, which 1t is hoped to secure
before the delegates begin to arrive
in November. The present headquar.
tiers is woefully inadequate for accom-
mediation of the women delegates, said
Mrs. William Anterior Du Puy, ma
tional president.
In view of the fact that the league
has sent invitations to all the foreign
governments to send women Journal
lists as well as "some" women dele
gates to the conference, Mrs. Du Puy
says the league feels obliged to have
proper facilities for their entertain
ment.
The new building will serve equally
as the new headquarters, long planned.
1t will have a ballroom, assembly hail
and from twenty to thirty bedrooms.
The Hoot o. the Owl Cafe, which the
league undertook to run in the base
ment of the present headquarters AMI
which was closed through the term of
lease with the landlord, will be re-
opened.
at is planned to conduct the new
headquarters as sort of studio
house." said Mrs. Du Puy, where the
art student colony and women writer's
may gather for discussions and ente =
tainments.
"In our present headquarters we
have only three drawing rooms, one of
which is used for an office, and only
seven bedrooms. When we give an en-
tertainment we just simply have to
turn the people away, and when we
have a celebrity as guest the problem
of accommodating our visitors is be
yond question"
Mrs. Theodore Tiller, president of
the District of Columbia League of
American Pen Women, will have
charge of all the social activities and
entertainments at the new headquar-
tiers.

husband arrested. She left him, and
