Mrs. Myrtle Foster, and two of his
children, Mildred, II, and Geral-
dine, 4. The fourth victim was
Darline, 10 months old.
Three other Foster children have
died in the last two years and au-
thorities believed the chemical
salesman broke under the strain of
the repeated tragedies.
First degree murder charges will
be filed against him after the in
quest today, authorities said as they
marshalled the following evidence
against him:
The dying statement of his wife
that he had hurled a bucket of
gasoline upon her bed and tossed
a lighted match after it.
The accusions that daddy did it,
from his daughters, Mildred and
Geraldine, before they died of the
burns.
Evidence that he had purchased
two gallons of gasoline the night
before the fire.
Foster wept frequently and now
and then shrieked, Il don't know"

PARIS, May 6.-An emergency
force Of 10000 laborers worked all
Tuesday night in an effort to COM
plete exhibits at the International
Colonial Exposition. which was to
be inaugurated today by President
Castor Doumergue.
The exhibits of Holland, Italy and

modest representation among the
other nations participating.
The great exhibition at the Bots

Paris, will be opened to the public
Thursday.
Prior to the ceremonies, the presi-
dent walked through all exhibits,
climbed the hundreds of steps lead
ing into the great replica Of the
Buddhist temple at Angkor, which
dominates the other pavilions in
the forest; approved the colonial
simplicity in the perfect reproduc-
ton of Mount Vernon, which houses
the American exhibit, and praised
the architectural gem which Italy
created in reproduction of the
basilica of Septi1nus Severe and the
seven towers of Rhodes.
Later there was a cavalcade of
colonial troops, probably unique in
military history. Great stalwart
Senegalese, taller and more muscled
than Frenchmen, in their red and
brown uniforms; Anamites and
others from the east. with rice
cone helmets; Tunsians, Algerians,
and MoroccanS in flowing white ber-
houses.
The ceremony will be continued
in Paris tonight, when there will be
a gala performance at the opera,

their vari-hued uniforms.

Superior Court 3 Leads

Three Of the five Marion superior
courts are grinding out divorces
by the dozens, figures compiled by
the courts reveal.
During the first three months Of
the year, superior court one granted
forty divorces to wives and gave
twelve husbands their marital free
dom For the first three days Of
May, the same court disposed Of
twenty-five cases, granting papers
In nine of these.
Superior court three led the field
for April by granting twenty-eight
wives their freedom. Fifty wives
and thirteen husbands gained di-
vorces in this court during the
three months, January, February
end March.
Marital winds also blew strong
In court two during March, where
approximately thirty-nine persons
won DEGREES Of separation, while
during January, February and
March, the same court granted
forty-one divorces to women and
nineteen to husbands.
Attributed to Money
One superior judge attributes the
present infelicity in marriage to
the depression period and. it's &C
complaining financial difficulties.
This judge said, Court testimony
and observation reveals that money
and other difficulties have caused
husbands and wives to become
irritable and later apply for di-
vorce."
Figures from the clerks office re-
veal that 2O.5 per cent more divorces
were filed during April, 1881, than
for April, 1880. They also reveal
that Marion county courts granted
303 of the 500 divorces filed during
the first three months of this year.
