Paris, oct. 10 (by the Associated

The part of the French government
to rejoice over the passing of

WAS given definite assertion III Of

The foreign office declined to
make any statement on the down

ment.
The change in the British gov
ernment probably will not delay
the Near East peace negotiations,
it was said here.
The chamber of deputies was in
session when the news arrived.
Immediately the excited deputies
quit their benches. leaving the

PEABODY WISHES
To END A UNION
BEGUN IN LOVE
Wealthy Publisher Asks An
nuIment of Marriage With
Lola Peabody, Formerly
Wife of James Sargent.

New York, oct. 19.-Wealth does
not always bring happiness. That
is about the only point of agree
ment between Nelson J. Peabody,
publisher, with offices in New
York, Boston, and Chicago, and his
wife, Lola. Mr.. Peabody has in
stituted suit for annullment of his
marriage on the ground that like
Rudolph Valentino, movie star, his
wife was married to him before
her California divorce became fin
al. Today Supreme Court Justice
Wagner granted Mrs. Peabody 500
a week alimony and $3.50 counsel
fees pending settlement OF the case.
This is Mrs. Peabody's side of the
story, contained in an affidavit:
when he was q poor man J.
struggled together with him: II
washed, cooked, aud scrubbed in
order to assist him. When he be-
came wealthy, shared in his pros
perity. Now that he is in receipt
of a fabulous income, he institutes
an action to annul our marriage,
claiming that it is void by reason,
of a technicality. Then he seeks
to starve me into submission
Mr.. Peabody denies he everl
sought to avoid his duties as a hus-
band, and charges that while hel
was absent from home, suites occu-
pied by him and his wife at vari-
Gus hotels served as "a place of
rendezvous" for various men,
whom he names.
Mr.. Peabody says that he ut first
contemplated a divorce suit, but
upon reading newspaper accounts
OF the Valentino case, decided that |
a suit to annul would be his prop
er recourse. He based his action
on the contention that when the
defendant became his wife on Oc-
tober 8. 1910, she was still the wife
of James Sargent, formerly of Chi
cago, because n decree of divorce
granted in California that Septem-
Der was still "ln the interlocutasy

Bids for the construction OF the
First National bank building will not
have to be in until April 5, Alton Hale,
cashier Of the bank, announced Fri

been received to take care of all space
not occupied by the bank. Special
arrangements are being made to pro-
vide dentists with quarters on the
