AT KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN His Former Wife Secured a Dlrorce Just Eight Days Ago, This Wed ding Being Prophecled. Erie Engineer William E. Huston, exponent of the doctrines of free love and erstwile editor of the Huntington department of a socialist newspaper, divorced from his wife Just eight days ago, morning at Kalamazoo, became husband No. 4 of Mary Reichert, not unknown to the citizens of Huntington, especially the members of the police force, past and present The wedding ceremony was probably performed by a justice of the peace in the Michigan town. The career of Mary Relchart Zell Deerwester (twlce) Huston, has been a cbecquered one and matrimonial ventures have formed no little part of her experiences.

Endowed by nature with a welL recognized affectionate disposition, she was quite a young girl when she left the home of her father," Ellsworth Ralchart, and accepted the hand of a young man named Zell, an employe of the piano factory. But the course of Mary's love never seemed to run smooth and it was not long until she was once more under the parental roof and a turn in the courts left her free to marry Blaine Deerwester, who settled the. household bills for some time, but later secured liberty through the courts. The couple did not live apart long, however, till the fires of love became rekindled and they were a second time married, only to find the same outcome once more, through the divorce court Mary then returned to the parental home and indications were that her popularity was not a whit the 'less because of her many matrimonial troubles. But the favored suitor seems to have been William E.

Huston, an Erie engineer, and editor of a social ist publication for Huntington. The warm affection of these two or one another was marked even before Mrs. Huston secured a divorce a few days ago, giving the infatuation for Mary Ralchart as one of the reasons why she thought the court should release her. In the testimony William Powers, said that be had heard Huston say that he would marry Mary when he was freed from his former wife and he certainly did not let the grass grow under bis feet, for the divorce was granted a week ago Friday and the re marriage comes in Just eight days.

There was some steam rolling lrr Huntington Friday night It waa for no good and stood to get tome la dividual into trouble. It is true that politics were discussed on the streets and behind doors, but the steam roll ering under cover of darkness was not of a political nature. A bunch of kids got busy with Keefer Bailey's big steam roller on Henry street during the evening. They made bold to build a fire under the boiler and get the steam to a sufficient pressure to operate the big machine. The boys then ran the roller back and forth and ylayed around it, endangering themselves te Finally the neighbors grew alarmed and telephoned Henry Keefer, and he was soon on the scene.

The boys heard him coming and made their escape. Erie Train Dispatcher Fay i ors That Option. WILL VOTE THAT WAY TOO Democrat of Prominence Does Mot Want to See Repeal of Present Liquor Law. "I am a Democrat, but I am going! to vote to continue the local option I law on our Indiana statutes. I believe in county local option as against ward and township option, and I want to see it continued.

I voted for it before, and my vote this year will go for the men who will not vote for its repeal." This was the statement of DeWItt C. Carlck of 334 East Franklin street, a well known Erie train dispatcher, In the presence of two witneses, one another Democrat1 and a Republican. "My was an out and out Democrat of the old school. was raised as such. When the option Matter came up, I could see but one way that the riddance of licensed saloons by county unit would, be the most effective.

I believe in it more and more, since the law became effective. Any father of children should realize the benefits. I have no sons, but that does not change my views. City people and country people must support our Jails and charitable Institutions, and they should share alike In governing conditions attending. As to the loss of revenue from saloon licenses, why, any self respecting man should be willing to pay a little more for the' benefits derived In community betterment.

I am. Certain individuals point to the existence of blind tigers In legally dry territory. They cannot operate openly and to the knowledge of the younger boys and patrons do not hang around like blow files. And these are liable to prosecution the same as other violations. "I am for county local option and I do not care who knows it.

I intend to vote for some Democrats, but not for those who sanction the repeal of the county option law." Dispatcher Carlck made these assertions unsolicited. His Democratic friend was Eph Shoemaker, who is active in the affairs of the Democratic party. Even Mr. Shoemaker said he helped shape conditions, as they are now and believed In option laws. These arguments are but fair and unbiased samples of opinions of many good citizens of Huntington and the county, and (hey are talking more and more freely of their sincere belief and the stand they intend to take.

Deserted Ariadne Now Reclines Under Statue. NEIGHBOR BOYS' PRANK Much Talked of and Gazed at Statne Dragged Out Into Public Special to The Herald.

Washington, Oct 15. The rising sun today revealed the now famous Barney statue clothed in a soft covering of morning dew nothing more reclining at the foot of the bronze likeness of General Sheridan, the civil war hero. Sheridan's horse rearing in Its hind legs, appeared to be shocked out of its natural senses and intent upon getting the general away form such company as quickly ai possible. The little general, however, seemed to have the horse under (effect control. Th'nude "Deserted Ariadne" was taken from her garden nicheaf midnight by some sons of the Barney neighbors and unceremoniously dragged into Sheridan circle, where she was left without protection.

Charles Onley, the Hindu butler in charge of the Barney place, with painful lack of appreciation for art, placed a blanket over the nude figure today after a crowd had gathered about it. In view of Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney's aqger over her daughter's work of art being draped, it is believed likely that Onley will have to turn over bis Job to a more artistic servant WILL ABANDON ART.

FELT IN CUBA ALSO Great Loss of Life Along the British Coast Several Steamers Foundered. 'i 8peclal te The Herald. London, Oct. 15.

The English and Irish coasts were lined Friday with wrecks and grave fears are felt that the hurricane, which hourly increased in violence, will claim the largest death toll of recent gales. Already more than 150 persons are reported to have perished. Many big vessels have either foundered or been driven ashore, while numberless fishing smacks are missing and believed to have sunk. Corpses are being washed ashore at numerous places. Sixteen passengers and sailors are known to have perished in the foundering of the steamer Heathfleld, which went down in the North sea, while twenty are believed to have died on the steamer Cranford, missing off Hartpool and believed to have sunk.

Many small groups of three and four fishing boats are reported missing from porta along the coaBt and It is almost sure they have been lost for even large steamers had great difficulty in keeping afloat In the high seas that are running.

QUESTION YET UNDECIDED How Big Is a Load of Gravel! Still Open to Depute Suit Against Dr. McLIn for Attorney's Fees. How large is a load of gravel? 'Judge Cqok'a decision on this question carried to the supreme court, has been dismissed without getting an opinion on tins perplexing question.

The dismissal was on an altogether different line of argument and the main question at issue was not touched. Some months ago Sebastian Baer of Jackson township brought suit against Road Supervisor Long asking that he be mandated to furnish receipts for work alleged to have been done by Baer. Long came into court with a showing that Baer had hauled but a yard and a half of gravel instead of two yards which he required for a load and that enough receipts had been held back to make up the discrepancy. Baer met this with a showing that he had hauled as much as the customary load for that section of the township. Judge Cook, after bearing the evidence, gave a decision for the road supervisor and Baer appealed.

Shortly afterward Long went out of office and the defendant made af motion for affirming the case on the grounds that a man out office could not be mandated. Instead of affirming the case the supreme court dismissed the appeal, holding: "After an officer has ceased to bold bis office be can not be compelled by mandate to perform an official act, afid where it appears a road supervisor has been succeeded by another before the appeal to the supreme court was filed, an appeal to compel him to issue a road tax receipt, where his successor is not made a party to the appeal will nqt lie." M'LIN IS SUED. Another echo of the troubles of Dr. George H. McLin with North Dakota land came this morning in circuit court when Watkins Butler filed for Thomas F.

The fiercest tropical hurricane that has swept the Caribbean waters for years left a devastated trail through Cuba and the Florida keys when it turned back northeastward, early today. The loss of life, however, appears less than was caused by the big storm last year. A seventy mile blast across the Keys where the Key West and Havana railroad is building, upset construction camps and small villages. When it appeared that the entire inner gulf coast would bear the brunt of the storm, the gale split into two divisions, the more powerful turning to the northeast. The tall crossed the keys between Miami and Knights key, damaging tobacco fane's.

"Wireless reports 4oday from Ha vana say that the casualties in Cuba are confined to Santa Clara province. Estimates of the fatalities run from 75 to 100. Due warning of th approach of the hurricane prevented losses in shipping. From Mobile, around to East Florida small craft scurried Into port, yesterday when warned of the storm. Sit fllSjyOTTLE Woman Proposes to Fix Mrs.

Hipshire. BISCHOFF IS CRITICIZED Comes In for His Share Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Spaulding Join the Black Hand. Minnie Hipshire if you don't stop you will lick me 1 will flj you "so you can't say It.

i have a botle of some thing and 1 will fix you with it. yon said you would put a nlfe in me But this will be worse than a nlfe now. If you let any one Know I wrote to you I will fix you. Blsh op would not take me if he had the papers to do it with and be said i should rite you a letter he would took you Wennsday if it hadn't been for your man now you be careful for I will do as i said and the best you can do Is to get out of town. Now BE WARE i will fix you.

With a "spelled out" epistle bristling with bloodcurdling threats Mrs. Minnie Hipshire appeared at the police station Friday evening demanding protection for herself and hers. The letter resembles those written by the black hand except that the threats are worse than death. The writer evidently possesses a bottle ot some thing stronger than 'water and wants to pour it out In libations to the gods of fury on Mrs. Hipshlre'f head.

And to think, Huntington is a dry tpwn. And again to think, that all this outpouring of vituperative English was' provoked by one little threat to administer bodily punishment to an other person. As Mrs.Trixy Spaulding says she is tired of being pestered with such people it is evident that she has resorted to other means than licking. The "I will fix you" clause comes into the billet deaux very frequently. In fact it comes so often that Mrs.

Hipshire no longer grinds her teeth and walks the floor in rage. She is now on the lookout for the mysterious personage with the bottle, be it cold or hot. There are no files on Deputy BIS' choff. Few people can get anything on this doubty police officer. He does not Intend to permit Leta Smith, Trixie Spaulding or Mrs.

Hipshire think they canpull anything over on him, and with his eyes and. ears not shut. Having been informed that some of this trio said they were imune from arrest at the hands of Bischoff, the deputy made a special trip up the Wabash railroad early this afternoon to bring the women into police court, where they might air their troubles and to vindicate him self from suspicion. Mr. Bischoff did not take an army of deputies with him either.

Deputy Marshal Bischoff comes in for his share of criticism in no muddy tones. The deputy was about half convinced that the writer of the letter was looking for him and does not know whether he will come out sec (Contlnued on Page Five.) WILLIAMS ALONE DID THE INVESTIGATING C.

ILLIjlSlTS May Go to Europe if Every thing Is Right. POSSIBLY A TRIAL FLIGHT Wireless Dispatches Received front Big Air Bag Several Hours Out at Sea, Atlantic City, N. Oct. 15. An unsigned wireless dispatch says that the balloon America with the Wellman party on board, has passed lirigantine shoals, ten miles north of this city.

At 11:05 thf first wireless dis patch from the America was re celved here. It read: "Headed northeast, all well on board. Machinery working fine. Goodbye. (Signed) IRWIN.

The Wellman dirigible balloon left its mammoth hanger here this morning; and pointed seaward. Whether Well man Is on his way to Europe or merely making a trial trip is problematical. He declared that if conditions were satisfactory after a short flight he would head straight for Europe. The flight was started at 8:03 a. ni.

Those aboard the America when it arose from the ground were Wellman, head of the expedition; Melvln Vanl man, chief engineer; F. Murray Simon, former Junior officer of the steamship Oceanic and navigator of the flight; J. K. Irwin, wireless oper ator, who will flash messages to pass ing steamships; Albert Loud and John Aubert; assistant engineers; Jean Jacon, the French motor expert is the only member of the crew who failed to appear. He declared last night that there were financial difficulties between the head of the expedition and himself.

After days of delay news was flash ed to the officials of the resort and the backers of the expedition at four o'clock this morning that a flight would be attempted. Chief Engineer Vanlman and Pilot had paced the balloon shed the entire making a thorough examination of the balloon. Shortly after midnight the wind droped to a alow southeast breeze, followed by the settling of one of the heaviest fogs ever known on the coast. Wind conditions, were almost perfect for a flight. The work of getting the big dirigible out of the hanger was begun at seven o'clock.

The detail of firemen and policemen assisted Wellman and the crew, but they did not have as much trouble as had been antlcipat plorer reached the scene, th big air ed. Within an hour after the ex craft was floating In the fog ready to ascend the moment the word wast given.

All the members of the crew, fn cludlng Wellman, were dressed fa khaki aviation costumes. Two hundred spectators carried the equllibrator containing the 2,000 gallons or gasoline to the Inlet, where It was dropped into the deep water and afterwards attached to the balloon. The crowd, constantly augmented in numbers as the news of the proposed flight spread through the city, lost Its skepticism when they saw the balloon move from the hanger and, piloted by men grasping a hundred guy ropes, move over the water to be fastened to the long string of gasoline tanks. Wellman was among the first to mount Into the living quarters of the (Continued on Page Eight) JEFFERSON DEMOCRATS HAVE NOW RENEGED Members of the Republican county committee have received unofficial In formation that the Democrats of Jefferson township have investigated the law regarding township offices which were filled by appointment and ha.ve notified Trustee Neff that they wOf not ask that Lee's name by daced on the ticket for the position of assessor.
