WIFE in POLITICS
IS PROVING COSTLY
Husband Says 100000 Is Price
He Has to Pay

New York, Aug. Political activi-
ties of Mrs. Lillian r. Sire, which
brought her leadership of the Wom-
ems National League of Democratic
clubs, cost her husband, Clarence D.
Sire, more than 100000 Supreme
| Court Justice Burr was told yester-
day in argument ION Mrs. Sire's petit
ton for an order amending her separ-
| alton dearee of May to prevent her
, husband from annoying" her. To a
reporter Mr.. Sire said:
II spent money right and left fos-
tering my wife's political ambitions
and I estimate conservatively that
Mrs. Sire's political career has cost
me more than 100000. And bear in
mind, too, that while she was en-
gagged in politics she paid little or no
attention to her household or the du-
ties married woman assumes
Mrs. Sire's application to modify
her separation decree arises from dis
puted ownership of a twelve-room
$4,000 cottage on Fire Island.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Sire decided
the cottage to his wife. He asserts
she reconveyed it to him, and she
denies this. ,a.
An attempt by Mrs. Sire and two
companions to take possession two
weeks ago resulted in her arrest on
charge of unlawful entry. The case
will come up for final hearing before
Justice Willis at Bayshore, L. l., Fri
day.
THE cottage is veritable arsenal.
Men with shotguns are guarding 1t
and the state constabulary have been
called in" declared julius Rockefeller,
of counsel for Mrs. Sire, when he
asked that the decree be amended.
Randolph M. Newman, Sire's law
yer, characterized Mrs. Sires action
as "squatter proceeding" and
added:
MRS. Sire has not spent a night
in the cottage in five years. Mr.. Sire
has always paid the taxes and upkeep
expenses and Mrs. Sire never paid a
nickel"
Mr.. Sire said while he is in posses
sion of the cottage he was incensed
at Mrs. Sire because of her treatment
of a seventy-three-y year, old friend Of
the family, a widow, who lives there. |
Mrs. Sire" he said, threw this
old lady's belongings out on the sand,
had my shirts and clothing bundled
after them and even threw an oil
painting of my father on a heap of
rubbish
When Mrs. Sire got her decree she
accepted $1,000 in lieu of alimony.
Justice Burr reserved the decision.

The betterment of the presidents
condition, however, did not lead to
any serious discussion of the future
program of the party. Whatever
may be recommended, Mr.. Harding
will have final decision, and there is
no intention of placing any such mat |
tiers as that before him until he gets !
back his strength. William Wrigley. |

Losses Exceed Gains In Securities Prices

NEW YORK, August 4.--Alternate periods of weakness and strength characterized this weeks securities net gains at the close of business Thursday night.
 President Harding's illness and Premier Baldwn's speech setting forth that there was no hope of an gium and Great Britain on German separations were the principal causes for the reactionary move ments which were started by the heavy offerings of professional spec Ilators for the decline.
 Domestic trade developments were largely favorable. These include ex- United States Steel, General Motors and Studebaker Corporations. the American Locomotives company and several old large industrial concerns, bullish government report on cot tor and another week of record breaking car loadings.
 Failure of some of the northwest ern railroads to earn their fixed charges in recent months resulted in rather persistent liquidation on those shares.
 Sugars were heavy as a result of further reductions in the prices of raw and refined products Rubbers were liquldated freely on reports of impending tire cuts which were later denied. Oils continued to lose ground. French and Belgian francs dropped to their lowest quotations of the year. Other exchanges also lost ground. German marks hovered around the S1 a million mark. Call money rates softened whom | the month end requirements had been disposed of. Time money con | tinued to be offered at 5A per cent with 5 bic, but business was quiet.

STEW LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, August 4.-Cotton ad- vanced about 40 points. S2 bale dur Ing the short session today on continued high temperatures in Texas and Oklahoma and too much rain in the central and east ern belts, where weevil damage is report ed as increasing. The initial figures av- eraged unchanged to 10 points higher than Thursdays close and advanced near ly 50 points further on buying of the best sort, due to the advance in Liverpool yesterday and weather conditions. When this demand was filled prices eased off for lack of continued support and also on last nights forecast for showers and cooler in Oklahoma. telegram from Dallas re- ported serious deterioration in that section and said 1t doubtful if rain would materially help cotton now. Some private estimates on Texas crop as low as $500. 900 bales while another we'll
 informed cotton man estimated the total yield at 9,s5o.00o bales. After the decline from the early highs another rally came In, caused by short covering that brought the finals to an advance of 40 points for the day Spots were generally quoted un- changed to 35 points higher, but quiet throughout the southern markets. The stock market was rather weak but no more than was naturally expected. There was no other news marketwise If the southwest gets no relief over Sunday the market of course should be higher Monday.
