band, Alfred I. du Pont, was filed in
Circuit Court here yesterday by Gordon
McCauley, attorney for Mrs. Mary Ball,
a former sister-in-law Of Mrs. Du Pont.

recalled that in a divorce suit of Thorn
as Ball, Los Angeles attorney, against
his wife, Mrs. Mary Ball. the latter
threatened to bring a 100000 suit
against Mr.. and Mrs. Du Pont for al
legged alienation of the. affections OF Ball.
Ball filed suit for divorce from his
wife in California December IL, 1927,
and subsequently was granted the de-
cree. The present whereabouts OF Mrs.
Ball is not known here, McCauley said.
In answer to her husbands divorce
suit, made in January, 1928, at Los
Angeles, Mrs. Ball said: There Is con-
spiracy on the part Of the plaintiff s
sister to take him away from defend
ant"
News dispatches from Wilmington,
Del, stated that Ne. Du Pont, through
his secretary, said he did not know any
thing about the suit filed here in be-
half of Mrs. Ball.

under consideration and an amendment
by Senator Blaine, Wisconsin, of the
coalition, previously defeated.
The present rate on this article is III
cents a pound. This figure was in
creased in the House bill to cents and
the Senate finance committee recon-
mended duty of "a cents. in order that
the levy might compare favorably with
the duty on raw WOOL
Blaine's amendment proposed a rate
Of 8 cents. The first effort to reach a
compromise, at 1917 cents, proposed by
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New
York, was defeated without roll call
late yesterday and q final decision de-
ferred until today.
Other Plans Considered.
Two other compromise proposals were
under consideration. One by Senator
Watson of Indiana, the Republican
leader, would fix the duty at ID cents,
and the other, by Senator Metcalf, Re
publican, of Rhode Island, suggested a
graduated duty ranging from to 10
cents, in accordance with the value OF
imported consignments.
The split in the coalition brought out
the divergent views of Senators repre-
Senting wool-growing States and others
in whose States there is considerable
textile manufacturing. The situation
was we'll illustrated by interchanges be-
tween Senator Walsh of Montana, big
wool producing State, and Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, State long
identified with textile manufacturing.
Both are Democrats.

Wolf Point Lad Breaks
Neck in Football Practice

Donald Tourtlotte. age Is, younger
son of U~ndersherriff and Mrs. Ira B,
Tourtlotte, sustained a fractured
vertebra of the neck Saturday after
noon while engaged in a little football
scrimmage on a vacant lot with
several other boys Of the neighbor-
hood. He was Immediately rushed
to the Deaconess hospital, where an
x-ray photograph disclosed a frac-
tured vertebra and two vertebra dis
located. Almost as by a miracle the
spinal cord was not injured, which
accounts for the fact that Donald is
at his home, greets friends. walks
about and feels no pain.
At the hospital Donald's head and
neck were placed in a plaster cast,
which extends down over the shout
ders. 1t is hoped that this may be
removed within two weeks, depending
on how quickly the fracture heals.
At first, plans were made to take
him to Rochester, Mimi, for treat
ment, but his condition Wednesday
appeared such that with safety he
could return home.
Donald received the injury when
he tackled another lad. Both fell,
but Donald struck the earth head for
most.-Glasgow Courier,
