SINCLAIR'S FIRST
WIFE VERY HftPPY
WITH TRIP POET
Socialist’s Second Marriage Does
Not Worry Former Spouse
in the Least.
! SHE AND KEMP CONGENIAL
Woman Who Shared Many Diffi
culties With Utopian, Says
She Is Satisfied.
EREDERIt’KSBURG, VA„ April 2A
While his former wife is h&ppiiy
living with Harry Kemp, the "Tramp
Poet,” in a bungalow on the bank
of the Manaaquan River, a mile west
of Point Pleasant, N. J., Upton Sin
clair, Socialist and author, ie equally
happy on his honeymoon with hi*
second wife, who until yesterday waa
Miss Mary G. Kimbrough, of Green
wood, Miss, daughter of Judge and
Mrs. A. McC. Kimbrough.
The life story, the trials and the ex
periments in sociology, psychology,
civic and marital life, made by the
Sinclairs after hie first marriage, have
furnished interesting reading for
some time. Mr. Sinclair will take his
bride to Holland.
Meanwhile, following his divorce
from his first wife becauae of her af
fection for the Tramp Poet, Mrs. Sin
clair No. 1, Meta Fuller, declared
that the present state of affaira suited
her exactly.
"Harry and X are congenial," ahe
declared. "Our tastes are similar, and
temperamentally we are much more
alike than are Mr. Sinclair and my
self. My friendship with Harry
Kemp I have pursued more conspicu
ously than my friendship with other
men."
When Upton Sinclair first met Meta
Fuller he was making his way
through the College of the City of
New York, by writing sensational
stories for children.
They lived in a tent until Mrs. Sin
clair's health gave way, and they
were forced to abandon this "Cave-
Man's” life. Sinclair had but $3 in
the world when they were married.
He has more than {3, however, after
the sale of his first successful and
equally sensational book exposing the
stockyard disgrace of Chicago. It
was called "The Jungle" and was
widely read throughout this country
During their trial for divorce, two
years ago, Mrs. Sinclair declared:
“There is a higher ideal than a paid
Supreme Court Justice's opinion. I
can sum up my views of life in two
words—love and freedom; freedom
to plate my love where I care to. and
love to have my freedom."

homespun if it will help.
"Not money, but service Is the
greatest thing in this world, I would

gold jingle.”
Mr. Webb is a gradual of Yale
University.

Magistrtte Hughes, in the Moyamen-
sin^ Avonue and Dickinson Street,

ed him to steal milk and bread from

prove this.

took." tlie magistrate ordered. The
man was quick tc obey. In a few
minutes two bottles of milk and two
loaves of bread had disappeared.
• I have satisfied my hunger," Mil
ler said, addressing the magistrate.

dress De Ancirale, self-styled "hypnn- j
list and mystic,” who claim* that he j

who attempted to bury thirty persona
alive in coffins which he intended *.o

American feel like a youth through .a
unique method. His treatment was
to bury the patient alive in a coffin
and lower it into a grave about fifteen
feet deep. He insisted that before
the patient was placed in the coffin
he would put him into a hypnotic
spell. It didn’t lake long for the
news to spread.
Young, middle-aged and elderly
men arrived in Kensington. They
were all nervous, they declared, and
all wanted to be buried alive. An-
draie had several laborers dig the
graves. The men all stood in line.
Neighbors who heard the noise sum
moned the police.
A squad of detectives arrived and
placed Andraie under arrest for
breaking the peace. Andraie was
held in $500 ball by Magistrate Camp
bell. The prisoner said he intends
to start a cult here.

Walter H. Page, recently made Am

lishment of an international court of
arbitration, according to Dr. C. S.
Mitchell, president of the University
of South Carolina, one of the prin

Congress.
"Standing by the tomb of his great
forbear, Chief Justice John Marshal,
Mr. Page told me,” said Dr. Mitchell,
"that he dreamed of and hoped for
tha day when the nations would lay
down their arms; when the principles
that were uttered by the first great
Jurist of the United Colonies might be
woven into international life."
"It would be the realization of my
fondest hope as an Ambassador to
the Court of St. James if I could aid
in bringing the nations nearer to that,
goal when law instead of war shall
rule; when an International court of
arbitration shall settle the disputes of
peoples Instead of appeals to arms,”
Page told Dr. Mitchell.

READING, PA., April 26.—A
novel service was held at Topton, this
county, when Ephriam Steffy, sixty-
six, until recently a member of the
United Evangelical Church, who has
erected his own church, held the for
mal dedication ceremonies. He calls

were made last week. The cost of
the building including finishings, is
about $3,000.

HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN IN
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Two
Congressmen have failed to take their
oaths of office for the special session.
One is (Big Tim) Sullivan, of New
York, and the other Raymond Ste
phens, of New Hampshire. Each has
a salary coming to him of $625, which
is held up by the Sergeant-at-Arms

Congressman Sullivan has been
sick, but his friends In Congress from
New York say that he is getting bet
ter, and they expect him here to vote
on the passage of the tariff bill.
Stephens, of New Hampshire, was
elected to the Legislature at the same
time that he was elected to Congress.
He remained at home to assist in put
ting through reform Democratic leg
islation. He will be here in two

Southern Members Give Patriotic
Views on Situation Now Puz
zling Whole Nation.
WASHINGTON, April 26—The
United Stales Senate is overwhelm
ingly in favor of abrogating all treai
ies with Great Britain affecting th»
Panama Canal.
Senator O'Gorman. Chairman of the
Committee on lnteroeeanie Canals, a.
declared to-day. His comment wa*
called forth by Senator Chamberlain •
resolution to abrogate both the Clay
ton.Bulwer and Hay-Pauno»fot«
treaties, which was introduced te-
day.
Tlie resolution aroused widespread
discussion and instantly met with
many indorsements, notably from
Senator Bristow', also of the Cane!
Committee, and Senator Smith, ef
South Carolina.
Predicts Resolution's Passag*.
Senator O’Gorman said:
I am glad Senator Charaberlale
offered this resolution in the Sen
ate. I believe that after the Sena
tors have studied it they will se*
the necessity for action of thl* sort
and that it will pass by a large ma
jority.
If we are to be harassed all the
time with protests against our ad
ministration of the canal, as there
are indications that we shall bfl,
then It would be better for u* to
at once go to the root of the
trouble and do away with the treaty
altogether upon which Great Brit
ain rests her protests
Great Britain has no vita! inter
ests at stake. She has lost noth
ing, for her rights are as strong
as those of any other nation, and
will be respected.
She persistently violated the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, that was
revived and rewritten into the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty, and if upon those
treaties she continues to protest it
would be just as well to clear up
the whole subiect, bv wiping out
these treaties entirely.
Doubts Root Interpretation.
Senator Bristow said:
I do not believe the Hay-Paur.ie-
fote treaty bears the constructs
Senator Root gives it. I do not be
lieve it was intended that it shouii
bear that construction. But if tha;
interpretation Is correct, then th«t
treaties should be abrogated 1
once. No self-respecting nation
would abdicate its sovereignty ovc
its domestic affairs as Sen:
Root contends we did when we
gotiated the Hay-Pauncefote treat;.
Senator Smith said:
I am strongly in favor of the fo-
sltion taken by Senator Chamber-
lain. The administration of tile
Panama Canal, the fixing of the
rates to be charged our coastwise
ships is a domestic question. The
United States will control its do
mestic affairs as seems best to He
own people, without the interfer
ence. suggestions or threat* of any
other nation on earth—treaties or
no treaties.
U. S. Has Exclusive Right*.
Senator Chamberlain said be h*4
prepared a lis»t of papers for the poD-r
lie, showing - the United States nao
exclusive right* in Panama hero*®
either the Clayton-Bulwer or uf
Hay-Pauncefote treaty was execuMtt.
He asserted Great Britain. When tneljj
treaties? were negotiated, had naw
knowledge of these rights.
A meeting of the InterocaajB*
Canals Committee had been caned
to-morrow r , but It waa postponed
til next Tuesday. Senator Root*
for a repeal of the toll exemptig
provl.**ion is now before the eonuun*
tee.
It was apparent to-day that
of the support that was mustsfaa ®
the last session to prevent the chfthfj
of the toll exemption provision
will now be brought to the
of the plan to abrogate treaties tn**
may be interpreted as giving Gr#a*
Britain any ground for protest

hind them Although they gay them-
> hev that thl* matter of tempera
ment—the hair-pulling, plate throw
ing. neurotic behavior that all along
has been falsely aucribed to temper-
» muit is all a fake, anyhow.
“An artist can be a sane, sensible
:11. n being; so can an opera singer,”
wild Antonio Seotti, world-famous
baritone, yesterday.
Then he and Eurico Caruso pro-
ccfM e.i to prove It, with a thrilling
imitation of a bout between Frank
Gotch and Hackensohmidt.
The two greatest singers In the
world had no reserve nor “temper
ament.” Seotti was leaning against
a post on the Georgian Terrace ve
randa, smoking a long, formidable
i igarette. Caruso approached.
Caruso, it must be Raid, knows his
Shakespeare. He struck a Julius Cae
sar attitude.
“Yon Seotti hath a lean and hun
gry look,” he misquoted. “He drinks
too much; such men are dangerous’
“Good,” commented Seotti, with a
touch of irony. “You’d better turn to
acting a» a stde line Instead of fooling
with that drawing of yours. It Is—
what would the Americana *ay? De
cayed—no, rotten.”
The fight started then, and was a
rather interesting affair while it last
ed. But Seotti was not of Caruso’s j
bulk, nor of bis science. The great
tenor introduced a hold that is un- j
known to other wrestlers. He locked |
h1s knees on his opponent s neck and
Seotti capitulated.
“Ray.” shouted Caruso waving his
hat in true college boy style, "bring
on your Mr. Gotch.”
That wa* the way the camera
i aught him.

It was another case of Eve with
the young man who wore a dress suit
to the “La Gioconda” matinee Thurs
day.
Nobody said anything to him, but
everybody looked, and an Indefinable
something in the air made him feel
that his costume was, to say the least,
not au fait.
Those sitting near him heard all
about it.
“My wife made me wear this,” he
said to the man next to him. Whom,
by the way, he had never seen before.
It was as if he just must justify him
self.
“The boss says as he whs going
out of town, and that I could have
his dress suit to wear to the grand
opera,” he explained. “Of course, I

‘Turkey Trot’ Is
Dance All Opera
Stars Can Enjoy
The Metropolitan grand opera stars
are apostles of the turkey trot. It
seems to fit their temperaments—if
they really possess any of that inde
finable quality.
“Pose for me a picture.” begged a
newspaper photographer of a group of j
the great people at the Georgian Ter
race.
They smiled acquiescence. They
are vary gracious folks, ail of them.
“But how?” they asked. “What
do you want?”
“Anything,” said the photographer.
He is a very humble person, this pic
ture nian.
There was no argument.
“Ze tu’kee trot.” exclaimed Made
moiselle Lucrezia Bori, with the most i
fascinating accent in the world. She i
snapped her fingers and jerked her
shoulders, after the way of the con
ventional turkey trotter. The pho
tographer snapped her quickly.
But there was no need for hurry.
Somebody whistled “Everybody's Do
in' It.” Dink Gilly caught Madame
Rita Fornia, and the two side-stepped
away. Lenora Sparkes began to sway
to the tune, and Segurola tripped to
her side. In half a minute everybody
was doing it, really.
Everybody except Antonio Pini-
Corsi. the rotund basso. Pini-Corsi
can’t be more than five feet tall, and
there is nobody else of a physique to
fit his. Partnerless, he looked dis
consolately at the dancers, and then
moved within the hotel. Those that
watched him saw him descend the
stairs that lead to the basement. For
in the basement there is solace for all
things.
Here’s an Opera
Star Who Would
Be a Chauffeur
Umberto Maenez lounged in a deep,
soft chair in front of the hotel, and
looked out on Peachtree Street. His
eyes closed dreamily, and he hummed
to himself. In his thoughts he was
the lovelorn Alfredo of “La Traviata”
again.
The raucous screech of a siren horn,
as an automobile slid alongside the
hotel and stopped, aroused him; He
sat up straight and tense.
“Watch Maenez,” whispered Paul
Althouse, the tenor. “He’ll go wild
now.”
Maenez gazed out at the automo
bile. There was admiration in his
eyes. He said something half aloud.
But, as it was in Italian, it must be
lost to Atlanta. Its tone betokened
envy, love, appreciation.
Maenez waited until the passen
gers had descended from the auto
mobile, and then moved stealthily out
to the sidewalk. He felt of the tires,
he pressed the horn softly, so that
it would not resound, he lovingly
patted its sides.
“Maenez is crazy about automo
biles,” said his friend on the hotel
porch. “I've got an idea that the one
secret ambition of his heart is to be
a driver.”
The tenor stood looking at the
beautiful machine. He pressed its
horn again, but with unconscious
force, and it barked.
The chauffeur came running out of
the hotel yelling.
“Here, you crazy boob,” he said
to the great Italian singer. “Cut that
out, will you? J can’t go anywhere
without Some loafer's got to monkey

with my machine. I'm going to get
me a man yet.”
Maenez looked humbly at the angry
chauffeur, and then moved away. He
did not understand all that was said
to him. but he has unbounded respect
for a man who drives a beautiful au
tomobile.
The chauffeur came out and mount
ed the front seat of the machine, on
guard He was still muttering. What
was he to grand opera, or grand
opera to him?
Andrea de Stguro’a will long re
member Atlanta for more things than
the great time that he said he had
here. Because in Atlanta it was that
he smoked his first cigarette.
Astounding, isn't it, young man?
Segurola, a man of the very adven
turous world of grand opera; a man
who has been everywhere, seen every-
i ding: ;< romantic figure. Yet he

day in Atlanta. And he didn't like it.
Grand opera stars, as you will find,
are the most pacific people in the
world. And because they are not at
bad, their wi< kednese is the subject
for jest.
“Isn’t he a little devil, though?”
Segurola said, and pointed to Caruso.
The great tenor was smoking one of
his long cigarettes.
* I suppose you are very nice,” said
Caruso. “Perhaps you never smoked
a cigarette.”
“I never did,” declared Segurola
Caruso shrugged hie shoulders and
said something in Italian. The air
in which he said it made tlie sentence
very plain. It is a safe bet that he
•aid:
“Tell that to Sweeney,” or to whom
ever 1s the Italian prototype of Mr.
Sweeney.
“Well, I haven't,” insisted Segu
rola.
“Nice man,” commented Caruso.
“And I guess you wouldn’t.”
Something in the sunshine on the
Georgian Terrace must have gone to
Pegurola’s head. His long years of
abstemiousness were forgotten.
“Sure,” he said, “let me hava one.”
For once Segurola came near to
losing his monocle. Jt was at the
cough and sputter that came when
he drew' his first inhalation of tobacco
•moke.
There were only two or three wary
puffs for him. Then he lifted his right
arm. He said something in Italian.
** he threw the cigarette out into
Peachtree Street.
It must have been “never again ”
He looked it.
‘ Yqu don’t like it, then?" asked
Gilly.
“Like It? Sure. Crazy about it.
But the public might think ther-
was a cat loose home a here. And any
how , nobod j iti a ten on hi*
wrist could ever play a banjo.”
Gilly looked regretfully at the little
watch that, on a leather band, was
j strapped to his arm.
“Is that the trouble?” he asked,
earnestly. He was assured it was.
He went into the hotel without a
word. Returning a few minutes later, l
he show’ed a watchless wrist.
“Gave it to my valet,*' he said. “Now
(I’m going down town and buy
banjo.”
Gum Che wing Sure
Sign of Low Brow
Opera Audiences
Riccardo Martin, famous American
tenor, was on his favorite theme.
America and its part in music—and
Atlanta. He argued, gesticulating,
that in America lay the musical hope
of the future.
“Maybe the fullest development
hasn't come here yet,” he said, “but
wait.”
Atlanta people, be said, are court
ing Just such development. They want
to get on, musically .
“Your audiences ore appreciative
and attentive,” he said.
“Nothing restless about them. They
have sympathy.
“Your audiences are as well garbed,
also, as any. Maybe that will be of
satisfaction to your ladies.”
And then he voiced his greatest
nrgument that Atlanta was getting
on in an artistic way.
“And—” he began, collecting all liif
force for the final point. “And also,
of laces and graces. He touched the
back of her hand lightly with his
lips.
“Pretty, isn't it?” lie asked. “Nice
custom. Ought to have it. No germs,
either ’
Nothing succeeds like success. The
chivalrous Arabian was prompted to
further efforts when Madame Emmy
Destinn came in from the street.
“Madame,” he said, taKJng her hand,
“I salute you ”
He bent low. But Caruso was there
this time, and with Caruso to live is
to laugh. H»* jumped to a chair and

He and Mr. Guard were going to
their apartments after a performance
In the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York. A newsboy lushed by,
yelling:
"Extra-a-*-a. Ail about the death
of William Jennings Bryan.”
They bought a paper, but never a
word did it have to sav about the
death of the Secretary of State.
Guard caught the boy by tjie arm and
looked at him severely.
"Son.” he said, “do you know what
happens to little boys who don’t tell
the truth about the papers they sell?”
“Sure,” replied the boy. "They
