PERJIURE:RS
Court Quashes Evan BurFoWes
Marriage AnnuIment on
Whitney's Plea.

NEW YORK, jan. 4.-Justice
Tompkins OF the Rockland County
Supreme Court yesterday set aside
the annulment decree obtained by
Evan Burrowes Fontaine from her
sailor husband. Sterling e. Adair,
and stated that she and her mother
had committed rank perjury.
The court recommended that all
records and exhibits in the case be
handed to the Rockland County
grand jury and that committee of
the Bar Association of the City of
New York investigate the conduct
of Charles Firestone. Miss Fon-
taine's attorney of record.
Last year the dancing girl whose
right name was Fawn Evan and
who came to Broadway from little
sagebrush Texas town, brought a
81 ,000, 900 damage action in Sara
toEa against Cornelius Vanderbilt
Whitney, son of Harry Payne Whit
ney, millionaire sportsman.
The girl alleged in the action that
young Sonny" Whitney was the
atherJof her child. which she named
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, jr."
Denied by Whitney.
The young heir to the Whitney
and Vanderbilt millions denied her
charges and alleged she did not 1b.
tain an annulment decree legally
from Adair, who died in Texas.
The proceedings were instituted
by Sonny" Whitney, following the
81 900 900 breach of promise action
started in Saratoga by Miss Fonr
taine.
Justice Tompkins said in part:
"A gross fraud has been per-
pertrated on the court and rank
perjury has been committed by
both the plaintiff and her mother
(Mrs. w. S. Fontaine), and deceit
and concealment resorted to.
"An irregular and improper prac.
tice has been INDUCED in By plain.
tiff's attorney of record Charles
Firestone. OF 299 Broadway.
This motion to vacate. and SET
aside the decree of annulment is
granted and the court directs
papers, records and exhibits or
copies thereof be furnished to the
district attorney of Rockland coun
ty for a grand jury inquiry into
the charges of perjury. and to the
proper committee of the bar asso
citation of the city of New York
for an investigation into the con
duct of the plaintiffs attorney of
record"
Letter Tells of Lie.
A letter, said to have been sent
by the dancing girl to Adair, was
made an exhibit in the proceedings
to vacate the annulment decree
which would nullify the alleged
Whitney promise of marriage to
Miss Fontaine.
The letter read, in part:
"And in order to do so a lie must
be sworn to somewhere, and would
be glad If you would be inclined to
deny or oppose it if l could secure
an annulment of our marriage by
saying we had never lived together. -
1t was said Adair replied to this
letter, which was dated February 9
1920. and refused to be party to the
proceedings.
1t was further developed that true
copies of the summons and complaint
of the annulment action brought by
Miss Fontaine never were served on
Adair, who was then a sailor in the
United States navy.

 The statement follows:
 We. the teachers of the Juneau Public Schools. out of loyalty 10 Juneau and for the benefit of those who have had no opportunity of get ting first hand or reliable infofma- ton, wish to state that the Juneau school system is efficient. and that ii compares very fayorably with sys- tems elsewhere.
 Furth ermore, the discipline is ex- cellent being above the average. The general attitude and cooperation Of the students are commendable. Thee results have been achieved largely on account of the complete harmony existing between the teachers and the superintendent. who gives them his unqualified support and as is.- ance.
 We wish to correct the impression created by a few misinformed and uninformed critics who, being un qualified to pass judgment and being unsupported by facts. are thought iessly attempting to tear down an institution built up by years of work thought. and care. (Signed) GRACE Y. BISHOP.

The mines are con aected with a shelter and the in- tended concentrator which will be equipped with machinery from the Thane mill. and w.th an aerial tram way p niles long which also con meets the plant with the end of the government railroad at Chilecito, which is 900 miles northwest from Buenos Aires.
 The copper bullion runs $500 per ton. The copper ore runs from te 6 per cent copper. the gold runs S4 per ton, and the silver runs, S3 per ton
 The mines have been worked for hundreds Of years by the natives, Nlr. Kniekerboeker said, and inten- siye mining was started by the Fa- matima Company. an English organ 'zation. in 1910. They were unsuc- cessful, owing to poor metalurgieal treatment on account of the refrac- tory nature Of the ore

 'The mill is being designed by Bradley. Bruff X Labrathe, of San Francisco. which organization han dled the designing of the mill at Thane."
 Native labor is employed in the mines The laborers are of poor class, being prone to lazlness, which condition is caused by the tropical climate of the country. Mr. Knicker- booker said. A number of the Eng. lishmen associated with the old Eng fish property have remained at the mines and the organization as it stands today is made mp of Ameri- can and English foremen, Argentine management and American superv.- sion, and native Argentine labor.

SONG HELP TO MARKET
IVES. WE HAVE NO BANANAS" MAKES THE PRICE OF PANAMA PICKLES RISE SUDDENLY.

CHICAGO, August 1.-The banana, long the butt of jokes about it's slip pery peel, and the mainstay of the hicks" who visit the city, has at last come into it's own.
 When some rollicking students at a Chicago north side school started the Yes, We Have No Bananas" they in- augurated something that spread all over the country. Songs have been written on the theme, bands play it in- cessantly and it now appears in the vaudeville circuit. Many people, who have never heard of bananas have be- come curious about them
 The direct result of all this is that tons of the Central American pie kles' are now being sold and right in the midst of the season, when they ordinarily sell at three for five cents, they bring sixty cents a dozen.
 ''Of course people ate bananas be- fore songs were written about them," said leading commission merchant today. "Six months ago the business of handling them had its drawbacks, but now we cannot get enough of them to supply the demand. We are selling tons and tons of them"
