LONDON, .Aug. 16 —Dora of the
lai*?hing brown eyes, third wife and
urt*umbered affinity of Ferdinand
Pfnney Karle, New York poet, artist
niyd record wooer—described by him
at-the time of their marriage In June,
3 91-1. as "the dearest, sweetest and
loveliest ‘of them all”—said to-day
thtet she Is ah/'ut to seek her freedom.
She said she actually ha® begun
suit In New York for an absolute di
vorce. baaing her nc'ion on evidence
she says she has obtained of Earle's
behavior on the Continent since she
parted from him in March.
Mrs. Earle Is now only 25, twelve
years younger than Earle. Ifer maid
en name was Helen Theodora Sid-
forri. From her father, an English
architect, she inherited artistic ta t >s
and is an artist of pronounced talent
She is a very attractive young wom
an.
Lived at "Earle’* Folly.”
The original story that reached
America of her relations with Earle
narrated a meeting in the Helds, a
walk home hand in h d, swift and
ardent wooing, marriage within the
month and a start on a tour of the
world, which wound up prematurel.v
in the country home In Monroe. Or
ange County, know n as "Earle’s Fol •
fy."
Her story to-day sets right much >f
that early fiction, for the meeting
with Earle seems to have been con
ventional.
"How did you come to give yourself
to a man of Earle's matrimonial rec
ord ?" was asked.
"I knew nothing of his past until
after our mairlage." she replied.'
"Whatever his renut;.tlon In Americi,
1 had lived in a quiet English town
and had never heard of his nnt»-
ced- nts. Afte our marriage hi. Ilf
ntory was cabled from America to the
London newspapers. Clippings were
sent to me on the Continent on our
honeymoon by mv mother.
He Soften d the )w.
"It was a terrible shot . to find that
1 had been so utterly deceived, but 1
adopted the explanation and excuses
offered by Mr. ESarle and his assur
ances that I would never have any
thing of which to complain.
"After our weddh.v we spent twjl
months on ♦' Continent. In Sep
tember, 1911, three months following
the wedding, we went to America, and
lived happily at his place in Monro*
N. Y. Our first babv was horn there
in April. 1912. I remained with him
'VAJ America uni last January, and
JL’i came here to visit m.v mother,
^V'vhom I have since lived. It was
arranged that Mr Earle would come
here for the summer.
"At the time of my return 1 had not
the slightest expectation that our r* .
lations would fro w rong. We kept ( n |
constant correspondence. H * arrive 1
here in March, remained two days
and then went to the Continent. My
second baby was born here April 20.
Her father has never se n her.
"Soon after he went from here in
March information reached me which
left me no option except to prepare di
vorce proceedings. He has apoealed
to me to abondon them, but that is
quite impossible after hi* conduct as
disclosed to me."
Mrs Earle declined to anticipate by
publication the specific evidence she
1% reserving for the court. Thus the
name of the co-respondent is with
held. Judging from Mrs. Earle’s con
vincing manner of speech, she thinks
she has ample ground for her peti
tion.
Earle’s Lov* Affairs.
Earle’s love affairs were first
brought to public notice in 1908 when
he tock to his Monroe horn** Miss
Julia Kuttner, and informed his wife
that the newcomer was his affinity
and soul-mate. The rightful Mrs.
Earle at that tim«* was formerly Miss
Emilio Marie Ftschbacher. daughter of
a bookseller on the bank 4 ’ of the Seine
In Paris, whom Earle had married !n
1003 and by w hom lie had a son, Har
old Erwin.
Mrs. Earle departed for France,
wi.h a reported money settlement,
and obtained a divorce there Earle.
Miss Kuttner and Miss Kuttner’s
mother went to Europe and domi
ciled themselves in Venice. Their de.
parture from Monroe was hastened
bv threats of neighbors there to pun-
Wh Earle without process of law.
Within a few months Mrs. Kutt-
n< r decided a marriage was necessary
and a ceremony was performed at the
British consulate afterward a
son was born and named Edmond
Eta in Earle. In 1910 the second wife
sued for the anulment of the marriage
on the ground that the ceremony had
tr.ken place before Earle was free
under FYench law.
She also charged cruelty, especially
following the birth of the child After
long consideration the Westchester
County Court granted the petition of
annulment and declared the child le
git'mate.
Earle had not defended either suit,
but while the courts were trying to
dispose of the second he sailed to
Europe with Miss Gertrude Rue.l
Dunn a bright-eyed young woman
from Chicago, who had "advanced"
ifltus. It was announced that to
gether they would work out and pub-
11.- ! a new philosophy on the idea! re-
stiona of the sexes. Their zeal sub
sided and they parted without scan-
da’.
Willard Patterson Maintains Circumstantial
Evidence Isn’t Worth a Perforated Penny.
Circumstantial evidence isn’t worth
as much as a perforated penny<and a
county constable is as safe to fool
with as dynamite and rattlesnakes.
Ask Williard Patterson, the Forsyth
Theater treasurer. He will tell you
that the two statements are as true
as gospel, for he knows.
Patterson returned to Atlanta last
week after a "tour of tanks with the
great magic lantern opry. ‘Quo
Vadis?’” as he himself describes it,
and on this tour he discovered the
value of circumstantial evidence and
the nature of the rural police.
Listen to his story.
"I left here two weeks ago, all
swelled up. Why shouldn’t 1 be. I
was the manager, press representa
tive, agent, electrician, property man,
and transfer agent for a production
that numbered 5,000 people, three
dozen lions, and Wj> burned an eternal
city at least once a night and as
many more times as the people had
quarters.
Whole Production in Grip.
"It’s true I carried the entire pro
duction in a sample case, with my
other collar and pair of socks, but 1
was a regular manager.
"I didn't tell anybody, though. The
knowledge of my greatness meant too
much to me to impart it to anyone
else.
‘My route was through North Caro
lina and 1 encountered pretty much
the same set of drummers on every
train and in every hotel.
"Pretty soon, I noticed them trying
to size me up each night as I entered
the hotel after the show to deposit
the monev in the safe that the Tar
Heels had paid to see "Urdus” throw
the bull an i hear me frtioot H.
"One night I heard a couple of
them talking and I was the subject
that my friends, the drummers, were
watching me.
“I stalled around and was about to
go to the amusement palace with my
show, when a long, raw-boned, Tar
Heel walked up to me.
" 'Wait thar a minute, young fel
ler.’ he said and he said it in a drawl
thai made nu Mtand as still as a
hitching post.
" 'What have you got in that air
grip?’ he asked.
"Ah, he was eager to see the magic
lantern opry without paying the req
uisite price, I thought.
"'You’ll have to pay money to find
that out,’ I said, and turned to walk
away.
He Knew B'Gosh!
" ‘I know what it is all right,’ said
he. I know that you’ve been playing
you were a drummer. I’ve got wit
nesses to swear that you don’t never
sell no goods and always come in the
hotel in the dead of night with money.
Nobody ain't never seen you open
that case and there was a safe crack
ed in Durham last night, and that’s
where you come here from. And now
I find you right here, looking in this
bank. Come on. You’re arrested for
robbery.’ And lie flashed a tin star
as bis as a dishpan.
“I decided to tell the truth. I blush
to admit it, but 1 did so and let him
look in the sample case for corrobo
ration.
"But at that he wouldn't let me go
until he had seen the pictures run
and knew that they were really pic
tures and not dynamite. I lost his ad
mission fee, but I learned two les
sons.
"And I learned another thing. At
lanta is the place for me. There are
no circumstances under which a man
has to tell the truth here.’’
i
"We are going out to win that SI,-
000 In gold, and we want you all to
work for success. Let’s all get to
gether.’’
That’s what the members of half a
dozen Atlanta organizations are say
ing to each other. For the entries in
the Want Ad Contest are growing day
by day, and already several churches,
lodges and other organizations are en
tered and are at work. There is still
opportunity for others, but they had
better hurry and get in.
But organizations are not alone in
the contest. Any individual has a
chance, without competing with a
group. The first grand prize for in
dividuals is a five-passenger automo
bile, and the second is a tour to Cal
ifornia and return for two persons, all
expenses paid. Then there are twen
ty others prizes, five in each of four
classes, giving men, women, boys and
girls an equal opportunity.
But the full-page advertisement on
another page of this issue of Hearst’s
Sunday American, will give you every
detail of the Want Ad Contest, the
way the prizes are to be awarded and
complete instructions on how to suc
ceed. Don’t fail to read It carefully.
Contestants should see the Want
Ad Man Monday. He has something
to tell them. His offices, fourth floor
of the Foote & Davies Building, will
be open until 5 o’clock, and contest
ants and prospective entrants should
have a talk with him.

In his speech Secretary Daniels

ographers.
“As a boy.” he said, “it was the
highest ambition of Woodrow Wilson
to enter the naval academv and be
come a naval officer. If hi» father
had not led him into other lines, the
probability is that to-day he would
