HE'S TOO NICE" so
RICH BRIDE SUES
Unfailing Confederation Il Too
Much to Bear.

Cleveland.-If the decision Of Judge
Alva Corlett in an annulment case in
volving a wealthy society girl is to be
taken as a criterion, it's just as much
an Offense against q wife to smother
her with kindness as it Is to shower
her with blows.
The unusual ruling arises out of the
annulment suit involving Marion Con.
ely and William Graham Abel of
Warren, Ohio, who married in haste
and apparently repented soon after
ward.
Marion, daughter of Brig. Gen. L. S.
COnelly, Of the Ohio National Guard,
and popular debutante, married young
Abel last March. She quickly found
out it was all q mistake.
Her young husband, she complained
to her parents. simply was too nice"
to her. He gave her everything and
did everything. whether she asked for
1t or not. Marion cried. Why didn't
he stop It? was her wall to her par
ents. She preferred that he give her
nothing and do nothing.
They spoke to young Abel about
it. but there was no change. The
young man just couldn't help himself.
Being kind was his particular fault,
he told her parents. Marion would
just have to take it or leave it.
Marion preferred to leave it. She
got her parents to go to Judge Cor
let's Domestic Relations court and in
stitute suit for annulment Of her mar
riage.
They did. alleging young Abel had
been too nice" to her. and that
Marion had tired of her youthful hus-
band as a result. Those were the only
grounds Marion's parents could offer
for the broken romance.
Naturally. dignified Judge Corlett
was astounded at the unique plea for
annulment. But apparently he was
convinced later that an annulment
should be granted.
He granted it, at the same time tell
ing MariOn's father that both the for
mer wife and her husband should be
spanked. The stern militaristic brig
adier-general agreed with him.

Within the next year, probably in
eight or 10 months, a work will be COM
pleted which will mean much to the
entire Atlantic Coast, from New Eng
land to Florida. 1t will be the COM
pletion of the inland waterway from the
North Carolina line about 20 miles
South. When finished this will give a
complete inland waterway from New
England to Florida, except through
Bulls Bay, about 20 miles north of
Charleston. which is almost but not
entirely land-locked. This inland
waterway will provide means for
small pleasure craft, houseboats and
tugs pulling undertaken lighters, or
with other heavy freight, to pass up and
down the coast at all seasons. 1t is
expected to increase the travel from
the New England and Middle States,
and to reduce freight rates on certain
classes of merchandise.
Contracts Of 10 miles each had been
let to two contractors. Because OF
some controversy the Arundel Corpor-
alton, which had the contract from
Little River, the North Carolina line, 10
miles south, has been relieved OF ltS
contract and the work undertaken by
the Government. by agreement with the
corporation. The Standard Dredging
Co. has the contract for the second 10
miles. 1t is expected that this 10 miles
will be completed some time in next
October The northern 10 miles will
take longer. AS may be seen, the COM
pletion of this work. which has long
been a matter of controversy, will mean
great deal to the inhabitants of the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. July 15.-Con-
scious that the fate of the eighteenth
and tWenty-flrst amendments will be
written by the attitude of the South as
reflected in Tuesdays election, Ala
bama voters are keyed up to express
their first direct choice on prohibition
since 1909.
The usual election eve claims of VIC
tory have been made by both sides. The
only thing certain, however is that the
vote will be closer than in the other
States that have already voted on re-
peal. The repeal side is putting forth
claims for the wider majority, indi-
eating more confidence on that side.
Efforts to make the issue a political
rather than a moral issue were
strengthened during the final week by
the repeal forces. Leading in this
movement was the appeal by President
Roosevelt, issued through Judge Leon
McCord, national executive commit
teeman from Alabama, that Democrats
Of Alabama support the party platform
as adopted at Chicago and confirmed
by the general election and subsequent
acts of Congress.
President Roosevelt's appeal served
to raise the claims of repeal head
quarters that repeal will be carried by
10000 or $4,000 majority to claims of
three to two or even two to one ma
jority. Charles E Rice, chairman of
the Alliance Against Repeal of the
eighteenth amendment vouchsafed no
figures, but predicted that Alabama
would vote dry in the election.

MANCHESTER, N. H., July l5.-Gov.
John G. Winant, addressing the an
nual citizenship school, sponsored by
the New Hampshire League of Women
Voters at Durham, revealed that plans
had already been formulated by some
communities and subdivisions Of the
State calling for loans totaling three
and one-half million dollars from the
Federal Government.
The Governor also said that the
State might borrow direct from the
Federal Government funds with which
to construct the Dover Point Bridge
rather than seek the loan for the new
span as a self-liquidating proposition.
At the closing session reorganization
of governmental units, including city,
county and State, were discussed by
speakers. Representative F. Clyde
Keefe of Dover said the present county
government set-up functions all right
but he felt that it could be strength
ened by giving the county delegations
more authority over the actions of the
county commissioners.
With the announcement OF the cot
ton textile code an increase in the
number of operatives at the Amoskeag
mills here is expected. At the present
time there are 5000 operatives en-
plOyed, and it is believed that the
number will be doubled when the new
hours and wage scales become effec-
tive on Monday. There will be two
shifts, working eight hours a day, five

In a marked increase in the cost OF
living. This pertains especially TO sta
pie groceries, bread, building materials
and fabrics from which clothing is
made. The price of white bread ad-
yanced from 10 to 20 per cent here,
due to the wheat-processing tax and
the upward surge of wheat values, but
most of the large chain stores and
baking companies still are exercising
extreme caution because Of the an
nouncement by Federal authorities that
profteering in food products would be
prosecuted with vigor. The price rise
was not uniform, but it averaged ap-
proxmately l cent on Bounce loa1,
which previously had sold IN most
stores for 5 cents.
Staple groceries are selling for from
20 to 80 per cent more here now than
during April. Flour, meats, butter, eggs
and potatoes have skyrocketed most,
potatoes being double what they were
three months ago, in spite OF the fact
that the new crop is coming on rap
idly. Flour is up nearly 40 per cent:
Porterhouse steak has risen from 10
to II cents, while lamb chops are up
from 9 to 10 cents and poultry cents
a pound. Dairy products also are up
sharply and vegetables which now are
plentiful, are following the trend.
The manufacturers price on textiles
has gone up so rapidly that some OF
the leading executives in that trade
admitted recently that they were be-
wildered. The manufacturers and
wholesalers are doing tremendous
business here, but leaders OF the in
dustry know that the drastic rise in
prices will have to be passed on to the
consumer not later than September and
they realize that this can be done sue
cessfully only after the buying power
of the public has been increased on
broad scale.

OKLAHOMA VOTES
ON LEGAL BEER
Majority of $4,000 Brings
Beverage to Region Dry

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July Is
Beer is the big news in Oklahoma this
week. Oklahoma joined the parade Of
States Tuesday, inviting the non-intoxi-
eating beverage within borders that
have been legally dry since statehood
in 1907 by a majority of $4,000. Only
$4,000 voters went to the polls. This
is less than 35 per cent of normal
State vote.
The weather had much to dc with it..
1t was the hottest day in history In
most of the State. In Oklahoma City
the temperature was lot. The vets
think the result indicates clearly that
Oklahoma will vote for the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment
The Legislature now in session Is ex-
pected to pave the way for that vote
before November. In the beer election
20 counties of the II in the State voted
against 80 brew. In 20 other counties
there were less than 400 votes Separat-
ing the opposing sides. There was an
enormous ballyhood for beer and the
psychology of the Nation behind Presi-
dent Roosevelt kept thousands away
from the polls who refused to stand up
against a popular wave.
The vote on repeal will tell a differ
ent story. You can't keep the anti
whisky people away from the polls IN
Oklahoma with heat or cold. 1t Is In
teresting to note that all OF the coun-
ties save one voting against beer are
in a contiguous block in the western
portion of the State. This is the area
that has been completely burned out oy
the drought The folks out there are
actually praying for deliverance. =.

In a last prohibition appeal to the
Indiana voters, who today decide their
States action on repeal, Senator Arthur
Robinson last night blamed Wall Street
for the campaign to bring back legal
liquor.
Organized wealth and the powers of
Wall Street are furnishing the funds
for the campaign against the eighteenth
amendment" said the dry Republican.
why? In order to dodge their fair
share of the cost of Government; to
evade income taxes and shift the bur-
den onto the shoulders of the consumers
of intoxicating liquor
"One thing is certain. AS soon as
repeal Is consummated, II ever, sa-
loon will be established Immediately on
every street corner. America
will 60 on a spree the like OF which was
never heard Of before. Everybody who
can get the money with which to pur-
chase will drink-the young, the old.
the rich and the poor. It will
not be safe to go on the streets.
Then the pendulum will swing back
beyond doubt toward decency."
He brought the Morgan investigation
into his argument, asserting that the
