Irene JennJsyn, In his application filed Friday with Judge George L. Bell, of the superior court. In which ho asks leave to submit an an- H\ver and cross-bill In defense of the divorce suit heretofore filed against him by his wife on the ground of cruel ty. He is represented by Attorneys V. A. Batchelor and Keuben Arnold. He sets up that Ills defense will be that his wife has been guilty of infi delity nnd.of drunkenness. His defense nnd cross-bill, ho states, Is for the purpose of annulling his agreement heretofore made to pay hi* wife $150 u month as alimony,' for the purpose of defeating her divorce and securing a divorce for himself, and to regain the custody of Naomi Jennison, their adopted child. He states that the reason he has not pleaded these things before Is because he only learned of them since their separation and the alimony agreement between them. He makes his charges on Information and belief, alleging that he only learned of the alleged facts afterward. Hundley Named Corespondent. Hundley Is ngmed as core* spondent and the evidence given In the police court when the charge* against Mrs. Jennison nnd Mr. Hundley were tried there l* rehearsed.' The trial re sulted In Mr. Hundley’s’acquittal. Mr. Jennison specifies several occa sion* on which he allege* hi* wife »was drunk, once at the Peachtree Inn. "when *he became so maudlin that she threw her arm* around the neck of a man and kissed him,’’ and once In 1908 at dinner-dance at the Piedmont Driving club, when, he alleges, she had to retire to the ladies' dressing room anti the service* of a physician, were required, who “said significantly she will be all right In the course of time.” HI* wife, he alleges, on several oo- ca*ions during their married life ln r pitted that she was III and needed to go to a hospital or sanitarium: that he compiled with her wishes nnd at hll expense she went to a number of such places; that he now charges that this was the result of excessive drinking and for the purpose of recoveting from the effect* thereof. He ntate* that he learned from his sister In Philadelphia who visited him during his married life that his wife wa* addicted to the excessive use of Intoxicating liquor* and that she be came aware of It at the time of her visits. Denies Cruelty Chargee. He generally denies all allegations of cruelty made against him by his wife In her suit. He says, however, on one occasion, when he was exasperated by her because of her extravagant expen ditures and her failure to understand his limited financial resources, he shoved her from him with his hand and might have remarked that "he could kill her.” He states that this was be cause “his patience was sorely tried.” He states that he spent hi* Income on her freely, but that because of the panic of 1907 hi* Income became con tracted: that she couldn’t understand this situation and held out for luxurle* which she said others In her station of life had. He was continually harassed, he al leges. by creditors holding bills con tracted by her against his Instructions to the contrary. The petition has been set for hearing before Judge Bell on March 10.

DEMOCRACY FACES OF MANY YEARS “But Instead of Intelligent Leadership There Is Only Bray of Donkey.” REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SPLIT TO THE CENTER Even With All Signs Pointing to Democratic Success, Col. Graves Sees Little Hope, Because of Stupidity. “I’M DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE INDORSEMENT” “Atlanta, the Best City in the World, Will Continue to Grow and Prosper,” Says Mayor. "Ju*t gay that I appreciate more that I can tell the klndneea and thoughtful- nc«« of The Georgian In not making my position more embarraealng than It is, and that the statement I made to Tho Georgian that I could jot be a candi date for re-election Is sincere and Is my positive decision In the matter." This was the remark of Mayor Mad dox Friday morning, after an extenalve discussion of tha situation with a rep resentative of The Georgian. "A man who would ba Inaenalble to such requests as are being made of me to make the race again would have a heart of stone." said the mayor, "and I am frank to say that I am deeply grateful for the apparent una nimity with which I am being In dorsed. "As a matter of fact. Mr. Seely, the publisher of The Georgian, asked me several weeks ago If I would stand for re-election, and I told him then that I would not and could not do ao, and re queued that The Georgian not make my position more embarrassing by In dorsing me for a second ternf. Thla request has been ftanVed and I appre ciate It deeply. Patriotism Plea Unfair. "It Is not fair and It la not Just to Insinuate that my refusal to stand for re-electlgn la pAn** 1 by a lack of pa- irlotlsm, and yet such Is the Insinua tion carried—-tho not purposely—when I am urged to make 1 the race on tho grounds of patriotism after I have stated most positively I would not do so. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVE8, Washington, Fob. 18,—"Whenever political providence brightens the skies with promise for the Democratic party, the Democratic leaders may be relied on to becloud the prospect with stupid ity and folly. At this particular time the Demo cratic party fronts the moat substan tial outlook for success that It haa known within the decade.
