PHONE HEARING IGNORED. | Wives Purchased On Time Payment Face Early Return By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 24.—Many natives of Pondoland, South Af- rica, are likely to lose wives pur- chased on extended credit during the last three years because they claim to be unable to complete their payments. The purchase of wives on credit is not usually allowed among the natives, as there is too much in- clination to return the wives in lieu of the purchase price, but a matrimonial moratorium has been in effect during the period of mourning for the death of a para- mount chief. This period is now over and natives who obtained wives on credit must pay up or Teturn the women to their pa- rental kraals. A mysterious shortage is report- ed in cattle and horses, with which such payments are usually made. Former British Consul Dies.

SHOOTING AND “THE EVENING BRITISH CABINET KEEPS PROCEEDINGS A SECRET Discussions Yesterday Not Official- ly Reported, But Anglo-Russian Treaty Among Chief Topics. By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 24.—Although the government when it took office promised fuller accounts of the cabi- net meetings than the public had ever been previously allowed, noth- ing was. given out officially rekard- ing Monday's discussions except that they had the quite unusual du- ration of nearly four hours and were occupied with “miscellancous busi- ness.” The political news writers, how- ever, serve their papers with lengthy and various reports of the proceed- ings. The opinion is general that the Anglo-Russian treaty was one of the chief topics under consideration, es- pecially with reference to Mr. As- quith’s emphatic repudiation of the loan proposals, and it is generally agreed that the ministers feel them- selves in an awkward position in view of the impossibility of carrying out the proposals in the face of a virtually united opposition. In some anti-government circles it is declared that the Labor party is divided respecting the treaty, one section being eager to make it a capital issue, urging the government to resign if defeated thereon and test the opinion of the country in a general election, while the other sec- tion is equally opposed to such a course. This divergence of Views is said to affect the cabinet itself. The ORIGINAL , - Malted Milk , — QW Children, Xl The Aged Digestible—No Cooking.
