SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM DIVORCE 1S REFUSED Mrs. Hartje Victorions in Penn sylvania Superior Court, LOWER TRIBUNAL UPHELD Petition of the Millionaire Husband to Reopen the Case, Based on Alleged New Evidence, Also Denied by the Declsion. Philadelphia, Nov. 2 .—Mrs. Mary 8cott Hartje, who was sued for divorce by her husband, F. Augustus Hartje, the Pittsburg millionaire, won a com- plete victory in the Pennsylvania su- perior court here when that tribunal affirmed in Its entirety the decision of the Allegheny county court, which re- fused to grant Hartje a divorce, The petitions filed by Hartje’s attor- neys asking the superior court to re- lopen the case on the ground of newly discovered evidence were denied, The petitions to reopen the case were based on letters alleged to have been jwritten by Mrs. Hartje and Thomas ‘Madine, the family coachman, who MARY 8. HARTJE. was named as a corespondent by Hartje. The decision, which was written by 7 Judge Beaver and concurred in by the other six members of the court, says: 'We have given careful considera- tion to the evidence in this case, It 18 of two kinds—the evidence of serv- ants employed and friends of the fam- Aly. With the exception of a single witness this testimony s not only not convincing but is scarcely sufficient to arouse even a suspicion of improper relations between the respondent and the co-respondent. “We reach the conclusion that the allegations of the libellant are not sustained by evidence. The trial Judge was not satisfied with the evi- dence and we are not satisfled. We agree with the conclusions reached by the trial judge in many of the reasons stated by him in dismissing the suit for divorce.” SECOND VENIRE DISCHARGED Attorneys for Caleb Powers Win First Victory. Georgetown, Ky. Nov., . .—Attor- neys for Caleb Powers in his fourth trial won for him the first substan- tial victory in his fight for life and for his liberty when Special Judge Morris sustained the motion to dis- charge the second venire, That an effort to continue the con- ditions of previous trials has been made in the selection of the venire of 200 men summoned from Harrison ccunty and that the defendant could not obtain justice at the hands of a jury composed entirely of political opponents was the contention made. The weight of the testimony intro- duced exonerated the sheriff and his deputies, but the results of their work in Harrison county led to the express- ing of an opinion by the court that created a sensation. Judge Morris, a Democrat and an appointee of Gov- ernor Beckham, said: “The proof indicates that the Demo- eratic majority in Harrison county is somewhere in the mneighborhood of 1,000, perhaps more in the last elec- tlon. Now, in looking over these lists in proof here, it must be striking that 80 many Democrats were summoned on these venires and so few Repub- b o L DISCOUNT RATE UNCHANGED Bank of England Directors in a Hope- ful Mood. London, Nov, 2 .—The Bank of Eng- land directors, at their weekly meet- Ing, decided to continue the discount rate at 7 per cent. This is regarded as an indication that the directors of the bank are still hopeful that the American government’s efforts to re: leve the currency famine in the Unit. ed States will prove successful, but it did not suffice to dispel the uneasiness regarding the American situation pre- valling in the money market here. Lombard street, like the other Furo- pean money centers, intends, it is stated, to remain on the defensive until the conditions in Amerlca have cleared. The complaint is made here that the New York bankers seem more intent on dragging further gold across the Atlantic than in assisting the au- thoritles at Washington in restoring confidence among the general public. PLEASED WITH PROGRESS Congressman Madden Says Canal Wil Be in Use in Five Years. New York, Nov. 2 .—Congressman Martin B. Madden of Chicago, just back from an inspection of the Pan- ama canal, is enthuslastic over what he saw. He said: “Without a doubt the Panama canal can be made an accomplished fact in five more vears. Last month a total of 1,879,000 cubic yards of earth were excavated and that notwlithstanding the rainy season was at its height. This speaks more than could any other statement of the progress that has been made possible and that is being continued. The men now in control are saying little, but they are per- forming remarkable work. The or- ganization in charge is one of the best. The people of the United States really cannot appreciate the great progress that has been made in the recent months.” RAILROAD IS WARNED. Must Obey Oklahoma Two-Cent Fare Provision, Guthrie, Okla.,, Nov. 2 .—The first act of the Oklahoma corporation com- mission was to notify the Fort Smith and Western railroad to comply with the 2-cent fare provision of the con- stitution until otherwise ordered by the commission. The railroad com- pany has thus far refused to establish the 2-cent rate. Under the constitu- tion failure to comply with an order of the commission subjects the cor- poration to a fine of $500 for each day of violation. The commission also received and filed complaints from the Midland Valley and the Wichita Falls and Northwestern railways stating that they cannot make a profit on 2-cent fares and asking for the re-establish- ment of the 3-cent rate. The latter road is only thirty-three miles long. OTHER CITIES INTERVENE Omaha, 8t. Joe and Kansas City Al- lege Discrimination, Kansas City, Nov. 2 .—Commission- ers Harlan and Clark of the interstate commerce commission have begun a three days’' hearing here.

EEas ENDS HER NARRATIVE Mrs. Bradley on the Stand for Two and One-Half Days. NUMEROUS LETTERS READ Many Facts Relative to the Intimacy Between the Woman and Former Senator Brown Brought Out During Perusal of the Missives. ‘Washington, Nov. 2 .—Mrs. Annle M. Bradley has completed her roman- tic narrative concerning her relations With former Senator Arthur M. Brown of Utah. She had been on the stand continuously for two and a half days and while in really better condition than when she entered upon this recital she manifested much rellef when she was excused. The proceedings consisted of the concluslon of the cross-examination and the redirect examination. A num- ber of letters were read and many facts relative to the intimacy between the woman and the former senator ‘were brought out, although all of them were in the line of those previously developed. At the afternoon session of the court the first witness was Dr. Whit- ney of Salt Lake, Mrs. Bradley’s phy- slcian, who testified that Senator Brown had come to him on one occa- slon regarding the treatment to be given Mrs. Bradley in consequence of criminal operations performed upon her. Major Samuel A. King and Colonel M. M. Kaighn, both Salt Lake attor- neys, who had interviewed Mrs. Brad- ley for Senator Brown in 1902 with the object of getting her to compro- mise with him for a money considera- tlon, testified that she had refused to do so. Colonel Kaighn said that Mrs. Bradley had told him the entire story of her relationship with Brown and had insisted that when he first began to make advances towards her she repelled him. Colonel Kaighn further said that Mrs. Bradley at one time came to him in a frenzy and charged him with being a friend of Arthur Brown. She had said to him then that Brown was abusing her and her family fright- fully; that Brown had performed three criminal operations upon her and was scandalizing her for not sub- mitting to a fourth. HELD IN $20,000 BAIL. Cashier of Brooklyn Bank Accused of Larceny and Forgery. New York, Nov. 2 .—An indictment charging larceny and forgery was re- turned by the grand jury against Ar- thur D. Campbell, cashier of the Bor- ough bank of Brooklyn, which recently closed its doors. Campbell was ar- raigned before Judge Fawcett in the supreme court of Kings county, plead- ed not gullty and was held in $20,000 bail. . Campbell was unable to furnish bail and was taken to jail. In presenting the case to the court Assistant District Attorney Elder said the forgery indictment related to al- leged false reports and a false filing of records in the cashier’s quarterly statement to thé state superintendent of banks. The larceny charge, he as- serted, was in connection with the so- called manipulation of the funds of the McGuire estate during the consolida- tion of the bank with the International German Failure.
