Special Dispatch to The Call. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 21L.—A practical joke has cost John S. Weiledge his wite. Mrs. Bertha Weiledge has been granted a divorce in Judge Estelle’s court on the ground of cruelty. The young wife has been caused much anguish and distress of mind, the petition pointed out, tarough a practical joke perpetrated by the plain- tiff, who pretended that he had committed suicide. The Weiledges were married in Rood- house, IIl, in 1898, changing their resi- dence to Omaha one year ago. Mrs. Weil- edge soys that they quarreled frequently, but that no occurrence of any importanc. transpired until one month ago. The ¢ agreement had begn more violent than usual and when it was at its height Weil- edge exclaimed that he would put an end to his troubles, “for once and for al He zeized his revolver and.rushed into an adjoining room, slamming the door and locking it. Mrs. Weiledge heard the re- port of a pistol and the falling of a heavy body to the floor. The frenzied wife hastened for an ax and broke the lock of the door. She found her husband lying on the bed in an abandonment of mirth over the success of the jest. An overturned sofa testificd as to the identity of the falling body. Weiledge explained between bursts Jf laughter that he had taken this surpr:s- ing means of teaching his wife to appre- | clate him. Mrs. Welledge responded b going into hysteries from which she wus with difficulty relieved. She failed to see any humor in the incident and sought a divorce. Judge Estelle said he thought the hus- band’s conduct such as to unfit him for the possession of a wife. He gave the plaintiff a decree and alimony. Bloodhounds Trace the Fugitive.

Mystery Surrounds the Affair and Officials Make Denial. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Two stories have been circulated all day which picture President Rooseveit in a street incident, either with a crank or an intoxicated man. Just what happened has not yet been explained, ‘for neither the White House officials nor the President’s friends will say anything about the affair. It is still a mystery and bids fair to go down in history as such. One story is to the effect that while the President was out for his daily walk early Thursday evening he was accosted by a crank, who went so far as to roughly seize the President by the shoulder. This story has it that Mr. Roosevelt promptly drew off and knocked the man down. It is also reported that the President was walking at the time with Lord Paunce- fote, the British Embassador. This, how- ever, is flatly and officially denied. What- ever the incident was Lord Pauncefote may have seen it at a distance, but he certainly was not the President's com- panion during the walk. The other story runs to the effect that while the President was walking with was jostled by an intoxicated man, who aimed a blow and was quickly brushed aside. When the President was asked by one of his friends to-day if he had been attacked on the street he sald: ‘“‘Nothing of the kind. The story is absolutely ri- diculous.” And he quickly dropped the subject. One of ths officials at the White House to-day stated that there was noth- ing whatever to give color to false re- ports, which were rather sensational. The story accepted as most plausible to-night ig that a badly intoxicated man came near running into the President and that the latter stepped aside to avoid a collision. But why the incident snould be sur- rounded by so much mystery has not yet been explained. LAWYER SCORES DOWIE METHODS Chicago Zionite Is De- nounced in Receiver- ship Suit. ——— CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—“Dr.” John Alex- ander Dowle's business methods were severely criticized by Attorney Reeves in Judge Tuley's court to-day, when the closing argument in the suit for a receiv- ership for the Zion lace industries was begun. His business rule was likened unto that of a King who tells his underlings what he wants done and then demands of them a hearty approval. His control over his assoclates was typified as a club hovering over one’s head. Attorney Reeves entered a plea for all the small investors in the Zion lace in- dustries, and sald the court should not consider that the interests of Samuel Stevenson—Dowie’s brother-in-law and legal adviser—and of Dowie were the ouly equities at stake, but should remember all the numerous small stockholders in the concern, many of whom had invested thelr all in the institution. The attorney drew a picture of how Dowie had discovered Stevenson in Eng- land, a prosperous merchant of a religlous turn of mind, and how by some subtle in- fluence had induced him to part with everything to embark with him here in business. Attorney Packard, for Dowie, announced to the court that Stevenson probably could get $50,000 of the amount he claimed from Dowie if he would make a demand for a return of cash for the shares Mrs. Stevenson held in the institu- tion at the time of her death. France Wants Our ‘“Hustle” Spirit. NEW YORK, Dec. 2L.—The committee appointed by M.
