WIFE BORN OUT OF TEDLoCK;
 HUSBAND SUING FoK DIVORCE

New York, Sept 14.-Attorney George G. Battle. appearing before Supreme Court Justice Martin today for Elaine Lee Harris, whose husband, Beverly D. Harris, former vice-president of the Ma tional City bank. Is seeking annulment of his marriage and an injunction to prevent her from collecting money from him under separation agreement. char? acterized statements made by Mir. liar ris as a "contemptihle exhibition of lies made by a man to rid himself of his wife
 The charge that Mrs. Harris had been intimate with Eli Raynor, a Memphis gambler, was disproven, he declared, by the fact that she was only ten years of age at the time.
 Tt is an unfortunate fact that MT Harris was born out of wedlock," he ad- ded, but her husband knew it at the time of his marriage to her. That fact is certainly no reflection on the girl Mir Harris met his wife in Houston Texas, in 1913, Mir Battle said and i'm mediately began to lavish gifts upon her The attorney charged that Harris, when in his cups, taunted his wife and abused her.
 l Mir Harris contends his wife repre- sented herself as a member of dis
 tinguished southern family, and that h' learned only last March of relations witl Raynor in Memphis.
 | Justice Martin announced that de
 cision on the injunction proceeding 1 would be made on Monday.

 We are prepared to give every se- curity for free passage of the Darda. nelles. which we will undertake not tc fortify. But 1t is only right that thu powers agree, to our creating such d=- fensive works on the shores of the Sea of Marmora as will protect Constanti' nople from surprise attack" The correspondent suggested that thu powers might refuse to deliver ovai Constantinople. to which Renal re sponded:

CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK TO
 PROMOTE POLICE EFFICIENCY

New York, Sept. 14.-An international cooperative body for promoting police efficiency throughout all countries, and to be known as the world police conference. came into being today at the national police conference.
 Delegates who feared that membership in the conference would mean interfer- -ence with the local operation of police departments were told that the world conference would in. no sense seek. to regulate the methods of police, depart ments as individual organizations, but would exist simply as medium for CO., operation in checking crime
 As none of the delegate from foreign counties came instructed to join such a world organization. it was decided to ac- cept members as rapidly as applications were received. The present membership of the organization is comprised only o1 the heads of police departments of cities of this country.
 A committee of one was appointed. tc devise a secret, confidential code to be used by the world organization.
