LONDON, Aug. 18.—Dora of the
laughing brown eyea, third wife anl
unnumbered affinity of Ferdinand
Plnney Earle, New York poet, artist
and record wooer—described by him
at the time of their marriage in June,
1911, as "the dearest, sweetest and
loveliest of them all"—said to-day
that she is about to seek her freedom.
She said she actually has begun

The original story that reached
America of her relations with Earle
narrated a meeting in the fields a

ardent wooing, marriage within the
month and a start on a tour of the
world, which wound up prematurely

Her story to-day sets right much Df
at 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 marriage,” she replied.
“Whatever his reoutatlon in America,
I had lived in a quiet English town
and had never heard of his ant?-

Earle’s Love Affairs.
Earle’s love affairs were first
brought to public notice in 1908 when
he took to his Monroe horrm Miss
Julia Kuttner, and informed his wife
that the newcomer was his affinity
and soul-mate. The rightful Mrs.
Earle at that time was formerly Miss
Emille Marie yischbaoher. daughter of
a bookseller on the banks of the Seine
in Paris, whom Earle had married In
1903 and by- whom he had a son, Har
old Erwin.
Mrs. Earle departed for France,
with 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
by threats of neighbors there to pun
ish Earle without process of law.
Within a few months Mrs. Kutt
ner decided a marriage was necessary
and a ceremony was performed at the
British consulate. Soon afterward a
son was born and named Edmond
Erwin Earle. In 1910 the second wife
sued for the anulment of the marriage
on the ground that the ceremony had
taken place before Earle was free
under French 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
gitimate.
Earle had not defended either suit,
but while the courts were trying to
dispose of the second he sailed to
Europe with Miss Gertrude Bueil
Dunn, a brlght-eye-? voung woman
from Chicago, who had “advanced”
Ideas. It was announced that to
gether they would work out and pub
lish a new philosophy on the ideal re
lations of the sexes. Their zeal sub
sided and they parted without scan
dal.
TOWN BLACKLISTS 85
DEMON RUM’S SLAVES
CHESTER, PA., Aug. 16.—Leading
citizens of this city are lauding the
blacklisting of habitual drunkards,
which prevents them purchasing in
toxicants in saloons, as a far-reach
ing temperance victory. The list con

names of 85 person? who have made
no effort to free themselves of the
drink habit.
Miss Bunee Wyde Is Bold Apostle of New Style
and She’s a Good Proselyter.
Miss Bunee Wyde said she should
worry. Everybody else was swearing
at the beastly weather whose heat
left no pea<;e in mind or body.
“You see?” she said naively, and
hoisted her skirts a wee bit beyond
the conventional height. She was
wearing half hose. Men’s socks.
She had brought to Atlanta a new
fashion. Very frankly she announced,
her belief that the short socks are
good to wear, much, ever so much,
more comfortable than the long stock
ing; allow much, ever so much, free
dom of the limbs, and are altogether
desirable. And to her very best
friends she minded not a bit to show
them that she indeed wore them.
Everybody in Atlanta laughed at
Miss Wyde and with Miss Wyde at
the Forsyth Theater last week, where
she played with Franker Wood in a
little act, “Good Night.” Nobody
picked her for the bold apostle of a

COVINGTON. IND., Aug. 16.^
Charles Keller, south of this city,
owns a dog which carries letters from
Mr. Keller’s home to Philip Keller’s
home, ien miles. When Mr. Keller
wishes to communicate with his fa

The trip is always begun between

though. But she is, and a pretty
good proselyter at that. She talked
the new fad very generally in Atlanta
while she was here.
She calls them the “kneeless stock

unfamiliar, masculine tone to it. And
she makes the prophecy that the
kneeless stocking will be popular.
“Garters?” said she. "Certainly
not. I don’t need ’em. Up New York
lots of the girls wear silk garters
or men’s hose supporters with these,
but under certain desirable physical
features, you won’t need anything to
hold them up. They just stay.
“Of course you couldn’t wear these

blush to put them on with a tight
skirt that clings when you mount a
street car or even a sidewalk curb

in wearing kneeless stockings. They
are comfortable and convenient.
“Well, you needn’t look if you don’t
want to,” she pertly adds.

For Twenty Years Efforts to Put
Woodland, Colo., on the Map
Were Useless.
WOODLAND PARK. COLO.. Au*
16.—The women of Woodland Park
have started a movement to put the
town on the map of Colorado’s sum
mer resorts.
Twenty years ago the men of the
fiowr. tried it and their efforts ende 1
a few years ago in tjbe best building |
lots selling for taxes.
When the men of two decades ago
thought the town offered great In
ducements, they voted $20,000 in
bonds and built a water system and
an artificial lake in the center of the
town.
There were bandstands built in the
woods around the town, and a band
was maintained for two or three sum
mers. Then the bottom fell out.
The other day the waterworks bonds
became due. The men who had been
the prime movers in the boom of
twenty years ago were discouraged
and their daughteds and wives took
up the affairs of the town.
They organized the Woodland Park
Improvement Association. The asso
ciation succeeded in having the bond
ed indebtedness compromised for
$6,000 and the town now has the
money to pay the bondj and improve
the water system.
The women have decided to have a
series of “tag” days and entertain
ments by which they will rei«e funds
to put in street lights street signs,
lights at the ColorTdo Midland sta
tion and other improvements.
Earl W. Butler, of Canton, III.,
Seeks to Escape Penalty for
Banking Methods.
CANl/oN, ILL., Aug. 18.—Earl W.
Butler, the boy banker, whose career
in frenzied finance wrecked two
banks in Fulton and one in Peoria
County in 1910, and ended by landing
Butler in the Joliet penitentiary with
an indeterminate sentence of from
one to three years, again is making
strenuous efforts through his attor
neys and friends, to obtain his release
from the State Board of Pardons.
So far the boy banker has not
made much progress toward getting
his freedom, because of the position
taken by former State’s Attorney W.
S. Jewell, under whose incumbency
Butler was convicted of embezzlement
In connection with the Ellisvllla
bank, and who is supported in his
view of the matter by the present
State’s Attorney, M. P. Rice.
Butler was convicted In the Fuiton
County Circuit Court in October, 1911,
over a year after his three banks
closed their doors, and he was taken
to Joliet In November of the same
year. He has served nearly two
years in the penitentiary and has an-
other year to remalnThere, if his sen
tence is carried out to the limit. In
addition to imprisonment, the verdict
in his case Imposed a fine of $2,800,
but it is the expectation that he will
try to schedule out of this obligation.
GREELEY. COLO.. Aug. 16.—That
dancing is one of the best forms of
exercise that is possible to take and
that eventually it will become a part
and parcel of the church when the
grosser forms of it have been elim
inated. was the statement made by Dr.
G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark
University.
“Dancing In itself as practiced in
ancient times is what kept the Greeks
and Romans healthful and graceful.
The dances of those days were far
different from the kind which are
popular now' and made strong men
and graceful women.
“Rhythm is the basis of all physi
cal movement, and I am convinced
that this form of amusement, under
the proper supervision, will become
not only an adjunct to the church,
which is proper and right, but to the
schools also."

Trees of Ice Age
Found in Illinois
Spocias Have Been Preserved
Through Thousands
of Years.
CHICAGO, Aug 16.—Members of the
International Phytographic Society who
made studies among the hills and cliffs
about Lake Bluff this week discovered
there species of trees and shrubs that
have been retained In the region since
the Ice Age. This species, the Europeans
found, have been preserved through
thousands of years.
The poplar and creeping juniper, ex
amples of the Ice Age flora, rarely found
in this part of the temperate zone, were
seen flourishing vigorously beside the
beech, birch, oak and maple, which fol
lowed them in the normal succession.
I^ake BlufT Is said to be "farthest south”
for the creeping juniper.
OMAHA, Aug. 16.—In order to more
effectively carry on war against vice
of all kinds, the Rev. A. E. Hess,
pastor of the Hirst Memorial Young
People’s Church, of this city, has
been disguising himself as a ‘Tough-
neck’’ dope fiend and scouring the
haunts of the denizens of the under
world for proofs of law breaking to
present to the Grand Jury.
His latest tour was through a num
ber of drug stores suspected of sell
ing “coke.” For his disguise he se
cured the services of a professional
costumer, and so good was his “make
up” that he now has In his possession
a hatful of little wooden boxes, each
containing a few grains of cocaine—
each labeled with the time and place
of purchase, and in many cases the
name of the clerk who sold It.
“I was never so scared in my life as
when I started out for the ’dope’ drug
stores,” Mr. Hess. “I was ‘made
u^’ like a dope fiend tramp and I was
afraid I would be recognlzsd and
quizzed
“At the first drug stoTe I entered
twice before I raked up enough cour
age to ask for the cocaine. The first
time I merely watched the traffic; and
that was terrible enough. I saw a
woman fairly weep in her plea for ths
drug she craved and for which she
had not the purchase price.

Travels From Home to Hos
pital All Alone.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Fifty yean
ago a little girl was stricken blind.
She was 16, and never had seen
the man whom she later married. In
her home at Hillsdale, Mich., she be
came the mother of eight children.
The father died a little later and
they went out into the world, but the
mother never had seen their faces.
The woman, now bent and feeble,
is Mrs. Mary J. Welsh, and is back in
her Hillsdale home, her sight re
stored. Mrs. WeLsh during the last
month has been In the Wesley Hos
pital here The operation that gave
her back her sight, surgeons say,
was one of the most remarkable on
record. It consisted in the removal
of a cataract of fifty years standing.
A chaplain of the hospital, the Rev.
M. W. Satterfield, delivered an ad
dress in Hillsdale several months ago.
He told of the charitable work done
bv the hospital. The white-haired
blind woman heard him. She groped
her way forward.
“Can you do anything for me?” she
asked. “I only want to see my babies
before I go. I have been praying.”
A month ago the Methodist congre
gation took up a collection which
made it possible for her to make the
trip to Chicago.
