P 4 duets and WINS COURT DECISION. Col. Slater Need Not Pay Alimony Un- til Divorce Case is Settled. Gannat, France, Aug. 12.—Colonel Samuel Slater today won a decision in the local court here in allmony pro- ceedings instituted by his wife, who was formerly Miss Maud Alice Spry. Both are Americans. Mrs. Slater had sued for 150,000 francs a year alimony and 105,000 francs for her expenses for the last 13 years, During this period they have not lived together. The court held that Colonel Slater's suit for dlvorce, and the counter-suit, had been pending for 11 years and that a disposal of this litigation should settle the matter of alimony. Colonel Slater, who has long lived at Vichy, near here, came into prom- inence in 1916 when a chauffeur held him a prisoner in the colonel's cha- teau for several weeks, after looting the house. The Slaters were married in New York in 1901, TO STUDY AUTO DRIVERS. New York Motor Vehicle Commission- er Would Have Information on File. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Police of- ficials throughout the state were re- quested today by Motor Vehicle Com- missioner Charles A. Hartnett to sup- ply him with the names of persons deemed ‘“incapable of carefully and prudently” operating an automobile as preliminary to licensing the dri- vers of motor cars in New York state. Mr. Hartnett explained that such information would make it possible to conduct an investigation to weed cut the reckless or physically unfit| drivers and ao check every case be- tore a driver's license is issued. The commissioner said power was granted him to grant such licenses without examination prior to January 1 and it was desired to learn so far as possible the names of operators who certainly should be required to; undergo an examination. | WOUNDS WIFE, KILLS SELF Newark, Aug. 12.~Rebuked for ab- senting himself from their home Christopher Meaghis 45, tonight prob- ably fatally wounded his wife and then committed suicide.
