kIWANIANS MEET
in THREE FORKS
Plan of HI. G.. Klemme for Intercity
Relation Meetings Will Be Put to
Test Says w. L. Thompson

The suggestion of H. G. Klemme,
that the Kiwanis club of Bozeman hold
~intercity meetings with surrounding
communities of the county as a fall
and winter activity, will be put into
effect next Monday it was announced
at the club meeting this week when
more than 80 members of the local
club will journey to Three Forks for
their meeting. There will be no noon
meeting here.
w. T. Thompson, of the city rela-
lions committee, made the report
yesterday and said that arrangements
=, n completed with Three Forks
zesiIents for the meeting. Rev.
Ernest Lost, president of the chamber
Of commerce of that city, was present
at the Kiwanis meeting and met with
the trustees to perfect final plans.
Mr.. Thompson suggested as a pro-
gram for the meeting some music, a
short snaech of welcome by n of the
Three + orks men, a response by a
Kiwanian, and then an address by A.
II. Stafford, president of the State
Farm Bureau, on some subject of
mutual interest to the farmers and
city people.
az this meeting is a success" said
Mr.. Thompson, 1--WE can plan probab-
" to have a second one, two weeks lat
~, at Manhattan. If this is done, it
will be we'll not to cOnfine it alone to
the men Of both localities, but to have
the ladies of the Kiwanis members go
along and meet with the ladies of Man
haitian, all at the same meeting.
"All of these plans are more or less
tentative and dependent upon the
success of the first meeting at Three
Forks. 1t is somewhat Of an impos-
non 10 invite ourselves to these var-
ious cities and make them do all the
entertaining and defray the expenses.
For that reason each person will pay
his W expenses and everything will
be in the nature Of a Dutch treat"
Mr.. Klemme further suggested that
ihe first meeting carry out the week
y features of the club and should
start as a regular Kiwanis meeting,
This could be followed, he said by the
rest Of the program with the speeches
talks and a general good time, with
the main purpose of trading friend
ships ard getting acquainted"
W. D. Bell, county treasurer, was
the speaker of the day at the Kiwani:
meeting and spoke to the members OF
taxes. He said, in starting his talk
shat the tax laws of Montana ever
the most jumble-up, nOndescript ant
rotten laws" he had ever heard of
and that the reasons for the various
ciassifications adopted for the arriv
ing at such taxes in which percentage
were used for the determining of diff
ferent kinds of taxable property wer
anfathomable.

BANNER MURDER CASE

Banner declared that these were the
bodies of John Sprouse and his wife
Florence. She said they were mur-
dered by her husband on the after
aOon and early evening of November
II, 1920, while the Banner family
and the SHrouses were camping
alongside the road.
Mrs. Danner said the reason why
she made her confession after a 81
Ience of more than so months was
because she had never had the nerve
to tell what she knew She said she
had been threatenend by Banner in
che event she told of the alleged
crimes of her husband.
The arrest of Banner for bootlegg-
nc last April, followed by a charge
Of grand larceny filed against him,
induced her to tell of other things he
had done, she said. She said the on
~ motive she knew for the confession
Of the crimes was robbery. She said
there had been no trouble between
the men or any members of the par.
ty. AS far as she knew, Dannel
found nothing of particular value
among the personal effects of thu
dead man and wife. She also saiC
shat fear had prevented her from

constant association with Banner ha'
never given her an opportunity t.

AS for the position of Mr.. Brewster, let
him tell it all in his own words.

he, els wholly satisfactory, so far as am
concerned. My wife is a splendid and
charming woman, and it would have been

But have all the members of the Brew
ster triangle won, as they pretend they
have and, indeed, perhaps, believe they
have?
Mrs Brewster, the injured wife, no
doubt, has really won. She has enamel
pated herself from the dictation or inter-
ference of a man whose faithless and
brazen shamelessness she is probably we'll
rid of. In her triumph she has seen to it
that her future and the welfare of her
child are thoroughly safeguarded by am
pie financial guarantees, and she has in
her own name comfortable home she is
fond Of And since she has succeeded in
accomplishing all this with separation
rather than by divorce, she has made it
impossible for Brewster to marry the girl
he is infatuated with. The wife, indeed,
has truly triumphed.
But what sort of triumph has Corliss
Palmer, the "other woman" accom-
plished? Neither maid nor wife, how can
she be happy in this equivocal position?

The Washington times., 1923-03-25

THE Eternal Triangle of a-man-and-
two-women is, of course, older than
old King Tut-anlkh-Amen. In this
game of hearts the injured wife or the
recreant husband or the "other woman"
always loses-sometimes all three lose.
But the Eternal Triangle of Eugene v.
Brewster, the New York lawyer, publisher
and motion picture man, and his wife and
the pretty Miss Corliss Palmer has just
been Strengthened out-and all three have
wont
Now, when bridge party breaks up or
a poker game closes and all hands rise
from the table and declare that each one
has won, everybody knows it cannot be
so. And yet in this curious. triangular
game of hearts Mrs. Brewster, who has
separated from her husband, insists that
SHE (the wife) has triumphed; her rival
declares SHEs (the "other woman") also
has won, and Mr.. Brewster, who has to
pay his wife handsome figure and yet
cannot marry his sweetheart, insists that
HE (the faithless husband) is happy and
satisfied.
Among his other interests and activities
Mr.. Brewster owns a motion picture
magazine, and in the course of things ran
a "beauty contest" And the winner of
the grand prize was so pretty that she not
only won the competition but attracted
the eve of Brewster and won his affec-
tons, too.
Until that fateful beauty contest Brew
ster was a devoted husband and every
thing ran smoothly at his home. Mr..
Brewster was happy and contented with
Mrs. Brewster. And then the auburn
haired little newsstand girl sent in her
photograph to be entered in the contest,
Brewster picked it for the first prize,
asked the girl to call and see him-and
the triangle started.
Before long Mrs. Brewster began to
notice the changes which usually mark
the conduct of husband who has become
involved in domestic triangle. And it
was not difficult for the neglected wife TO
discover who was the "other woman.
Brewster made no denials, he offered
no excuses and he had no fault to find
with his wife's quite natural Complaints nus:
Could anything be done to strengthen out
the complicated situation with mutual sat
isfaction? he asked.
Discovering themselves as wandering
about hopelessly in such a love labyrinth.
Brewster and his wife finally considered
the situation with calmness, drew with dis
erection from a common fund of modern
New York philosophy, and at last evolved
a basis of settlement whereby each got
exactly what he and she wanted. And
more than that, each now feels certain
that he and she has won. The little tri-
faceted dilemma of the heart now appears
to all the participants as but phantom

memory Of the dim past, gone without
trace or rancor, heartache or regret.
But this required time, thought and
negotiations.
When Mrs. Brewster first went into the
Brooklyn Supreme Court and, seeking Q
separation from her husband, revealed the
existence Of the triangle, there were no
indications there could be conclusion Of
so comprehensively satisfying nature.
AS most daily newspaper readers know,
Mrs. Brewster then was Enthusiastically out
with her tomahawk, with the scalps of her
husband and the lovely Corliss-and par
ticularly the latter's sunset locks-as her
detectives.
She denounced her rival as a "home
wrecker," she demanded that her husband
give her alimony of $1,000 month, and
she made public letter from Mr.. Brew
ster in which the latter described in detail
the distressing pangs his love for Corliss
had caused him, and declared that latter
an endless, heartrending struggle" he had
decided that life without his prize beauty
would not be worth the living.
'"The old, old story all over again." ran
the general comment on the situation, ac~
companied by fatalistic shoulder shrugs.
"And sure to spell unhappiness for some
one"
But the commentators, for once, were
wrong.
Just what started the ball rolling
toward peace pact between the triangle
members is not quite clear, but the fact
remains that it not only did start, but
attained it's goal with astonishing rapid
ity. There were conferences between the
opposing attorneys, and it was not long
before the principals in the heart entan-
clement began publicly making known
their precise desires in the matter.
81" said Mrs Brewster, "want legal
separation, our Long Island estate, the
full custody of our three-year-old boy, and
a substantial financial settlement. If
Eugene's love for me has cooled, can get
along very well without him. It's rather
unbecoming of him to cut up so at his
age-hes fifty-two and my rival says
she's twenty-but he's perfectly welcome
to Corliss, her mother and the home he's
established for them in Normandy Park,
N. j. That is, he's welcome if my son and

T," said the winsome Corliss, "of

nest Eugene has provided for me in Jer-
sey. But, more than that-more than
anything else in this world want my
darling Eugene just for himself, and all to
myself. / want him because, regardless
of any other ties he may have, our love is
such that we belong to each other above
all else. And / am determined to hold
him!'
"And l." said Mr.. Brewster, "want only

of the law, formal settlement was
reached the other day which, through
analysis, seems to show each of the prin-
cipals to be full and complete winner,
so far as the wishes of each other were
expressed.
For the first time in the divorce courts
there has been recorded, therefore, tri-
angle without a loser! Each corner of
the triangle has achieved exactly what it
wanted.
Mrs. Brewster, according to the settle
ment provisions, is entitled to live her life
separately henceforth, just as she wanted.
She received the comfortable Chateau DIES
Lacs," the Brewster home at Roslyn,
L. l., and her small son was given to her
complete charge, as she asked. And to
complete the fulfllment of her desires,
the financial settlement arranged, while
something under 81 500 a month, was re-
ported to have been ample for the main
tenance of her home, social standing and
general needs.

says Mrs. Brewster. "Happy and com

For the injured wife. Mrs. Brewster,
there is security for her peace of mind
and future contentment in the knowledge
that she is safely rid of the man who was
entirely unworthy of her.
BY the law of nature and the custom of
mankind Mr.. Brewster has nothing to
worry about-he is now in a position to
