Lamberton-Woodward, weeks . ."iO,00 damages for the alienation or her husband's affections, De Putron Gllddon. She states that on July 23. 1308. with the consent of her husband, she Mrent to Mount Caroll. 11L. to visit her mother, who vaa 111, and during her absence, her husband had reason to make a trip to Monterey, Cal., and there stopped at tha Uel Monte Hotel. "Hubby" AVon't Return. According to the complaint, Mr. Glid don. in October, first met the defendant, who -was living at the hotel as Gladys L. Jamberton, and, after gaining his af fections by offers of money and on the promise to make him the beneficiary with out bond under her will, she Induced him to leave the plaintiff and travel with her to the Far East and to Europe. Mrs. Gllddon further states that her husband has refused to return to her. The complaint, in addition, stated that the Gliddons were married in this city on February 4. 1894, and that in February last the defendant married on Wood ward. In 1893 the present Mrs. Woodward be came the nurse of Colonel John Bryson. of Los Angeles, who fell in love with her and although he was then nearly 80 years old, left home to travel with her for years all over the world. When he died three years ago he left her property worth, about 250,0O0. Suit was at once entered by 42 rela tives of Colonel Bryson, but after two years of litigation the will was upheld. Woman Wed3 in Portland. In January of this year the widow met AValter Ayers Woodward, a bank clerk, of Rochester, N. Y., In Portland. Or. Woodward was 23 years old then and 22 years the woman's Junior, and after a whirlwind courtship of 20 days they were married. The wife of Rigo, the Gypsy violinist, introduced the two. . Mrs. Woodward, at the time of the marriage, said that as soon as their 'honeymoon amid organge groves was over" she would take her husband to New York and establish him as a banker. So . far aa could be learned today this waa never done, the visits of the Woodwards two weeks ago being the only one they naa paia tnis city. . .

Up umu j.o:3u tonight i could make out streak of light across the sky wrom soutnwest to northwest which I believe to be tne tail of the comet." Smoked Glasses Doubled. There was one sky-gazer yesterday wno discovered something which he xnougnt was the comet. This was S. Kmlth, who put on two pairs of smoked glasses and went forth to gaze In the vicinity of the sun. Near the sun h discovered an Illumination which he oeneved was the comet. An experiment made later by John uci-Muity ot tne united States hydro graphic office, failed to verify the be- ner mat tne comet was visible. Mr. McNulty held, further that anv litrht from the comet viewed through smoked glasses would be so diffused as to be Invisible. Even the delicate instruments in use In the hydrographic offices were not affected by the passage of the earth through the tall. A communication was sent from McMinnville that three surveyors In that city had reported an Increase in the variation of from 45 to 60 minutes in the north ends of the magnetic needles of their transits. E. A. Beals, of the local weather bureau, said that this variation could have been caused by any electric storm and was not necessarily due to the comet. Ha said that this amount of increase in the variation was slight and was not as much as is occasioned by the aurora borealls. Mr. Beals said that any elec trical storm would .be noticed ilrst of all by telegraphers, where the slightest variation would cause wire trouble. Telegraphers Not Hindered. The Western Union and Postal Tele graph operators, however, said that last night was an ideal one. that there was not a trace of wire trouble and that their instruments, which would have recorded any electrical storm, be haved beautifully all evening and nisrht. This seems to indicate that locally, at least, there were no magnetic effect of th epassage through the comet's tail. Although the comet was not visible last night It has not passed out of sight entirely, in lact the really good views of the comet are still in the future. To night it willhardly be visible on account of the fact that it will still be near the sun. going below the horizon at 7:40 P. M. Tomorrow, however, it may begin to be visible again, setting at 8:11. On Saturday it does not Bet until 9:12 P. M. while the sun sets at 7:11 P. M. On May a tne comet will set at 9:57, but the fine view will be somewhat obscured by the iignt or tne run moon. It its on Monday. May 23, that the finest view of the comet will be obtained. On that date the full moon will go into total eclipse between the hours of 9 and 10 P. M., and the comet will then be shown in its brightest form and in full glory If clear skies permit a view. MAXY PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN Hundreds of Plates Exposed by Scl entists at Yerkes Observatory. YERKES OBSERVATORY, Williams' Bay, Wis.. May 18. As the world passed n through the tail of Halley's comet astronomers at the Yerkes Observatory tonight secured photographs and accurate records of meteoric phenomena and varying heavenly illuminations under atmospheric conditions nearly perfect for work with camera and telescope. The pictures and data are considered of unusual value and may develop acien tine information and theories of unex ceded importance. Professor Edward E. Barnard, one of the world's greatest authorities on comets, was much pleased with the re- ult of his observations which have ex tended almost without Interruption for 48 hours. Science Gains Much. A painstaking search was made through the tail of the comet for spots where Illumination might be lacking. This lack of Illumination, It was indicated, may aid greatly in determining the substance of the glow that follows the comet's head. The passing of the comet," said Pro fessor Barnard, "will greatly enrich science. I consider the negative phe nomena observed tonight of as great value to science as positive phenomena.' According to first computations Irom observations; made here the earth entered the .million-mile broad tail of the comet at a speed of slightly more than 46 miles a second. At this Juncture, the eminent scientists gathered here agreed that the passage would occupy a period of little more than rive hours. Cameras Especially Made. Sixteen cameras especially constructed for photographing the sky, and 14 tele scopes were trained from this point on the passage of the comet. Painstaking care was exercised in the arrangement and use of Instruments to assure com plete and accurate data, and pictures. Although they had slept little on the previous night and were busy all day with cameras and telescopes, the astrono mers spared not a moment for sleep to night. The party at the observatory included the following scientists: Professor S. A. Mitchell, Columbia University, New York; Professor Edwin B. Frost; Professor Sherburne W. Burnham, Pro fessor Storrs B. Barrett, Professor J. A. (Parkhurst, Professor Frederick Slocuxn, Oliver J. iLee and Mary L. Calvert. Extreme Precautions Taken. The battery of cameras covered every visible foot of sky and hundreds of plates were exposed. Several of the cameras were fixed on axles revolving .with extreme slowness with lenses con stantly on the comet's glowing tail. Although moonlight was a slight handi cap, the brilliantly clear sky and favor able atmospheric conditions made up for It. The photographs secured are con sidered Invaluable with the particular object of photographing meteors. Pro fessors Parkhurst and Barrett took charge of the Carnegie outdoor photo graph .observatory, where several pic tures were taken. - SIGNALS CLEARER THAN VSTJAXj Alaska Cable and Wireless Stations - Not Impeded. SEATTLE, May 18. At the local headquarters of the United States Army Signal Corps, which has charge of the Government cable to Alaska and sev eral wireless stations In the northern territory, It was said tonight that the passage . of the earth through the comet's tall has had no effect upon the operations of the cable system or the wireless stations. The Alaska cable and the wireless stations in the far north respond readily to outside interference. Last Kail when . Mars was (Comparatively close to the earth, great dirficulty was experienced in operating the cable and the wireless. Tonight, however, there has been no interruption, the signals being clearer than usual. WIRELESS IS NOT DISTURBED Communication With Vessels at Sea . Is Better Than Usual. L-03 ANGELES, May 18 Contrary to expectations, the passing of : Halley's comet has not interfered In the slightest .with the workings of wireless telegraphy up to tonight. Local stations report that the wireless worked better loan usual last night and today. Nine ships re ported their positions, and one of them the big liner Manchuria was far across the Pacific. Since Monday morning all wireless op erators throughout the country have been watching for unusual phenomena in connection with the comet, at the request of the hydrographic office of the Gov ernment. Scientists expected electric magnetic disturbances, which would af fect wireless telegraph instruments, as the comet appeared, .but these have not occurred BATIi OF RADIUM, IS THEORY Dr. Buchanan Believes Observations Will Furnish Proof. 'I believe Halley's comet Is a ball of radium." declared Dr. Davidson Bu chanan last night. In his lecture before the magazine class at the Young Men's Christian Association auditorum. f "And I think," he continued, that the proof of this theory will be established by the results of observations of scien tific men now studying the comet. "Like radium, the comet rurnisnes its own luminosity and continues for years without decreasing in weight." Dr. Buchanan said this at the close of an interesting talk on comets In general and Halley's comet In particular, based upon current scientific discussions of the phenomenon. Aberdeen Out All Night. ABERDEEN, Wash., May 18. (Special.) Halley's comet has been received with intense Interest in this city. As early as 3 o'clock this morning hundreds of per sons were out to attempt a view of the heavenly body, while Portland Heights and "Think-of-Me" Hill, the two highest promontories surrounding Aberdeen, were dotted with people. Several parties, in cluding one formed of High School stu dents, ascended Portland Heights early last night and gathered around big bon fires, which were visible throughout the city, turning the affair into an all-night Jollification. Impatient Rancher Takes Poison. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.. May 18.

ACCIDENT SUPPOSED CAUSE Blast Created by 600 0 Pounds of Explosive Wrecks Massive Build ing and Scatters Dead and Wounded Through Otty. HAVANA, May 18. Two almost sim ultaneous explosions of dynamite, sup posed to consist of 6000 pounds, com pletely demolished the -rural guard barracks In the city of Pinar del Rio this morning. Fully a hundred persons were killed and nearly as many wounded. Most of the dead are rural guards, but the entire families of several officers of the rural guards. It is reported, were killed, as well as several employes of the public works department and resi dents of the city, on which fell a mass of masonry and debris. The barracks was a massive building of Spanish construction and occupied an eminence in the outskirts of the city. During the late intervention, it was the headquarters of the . Eleventh United States Cavalry. In consequence of the alarm over race disturbances, the government ordered all dynamite In the vicinity in the use of construction of roads to be removed to the barracks for safe keeping. This aft ernoon the work of removing the dyna mite from the barracks for shipment to Havana was begun by employes 'of the public works department, assisted by rural guards. It is not known whether the ex plosion was an accident or was due to an act of conspirators, but the former hypothesis is considered the more probable. Several relief trains, carry ing surgeons, officers and men of the rural guard and government officials, started this afternoon from Havana to the scene of the catastrophe, 108 miles away. Captain Alfredo Ravena and Captain Gaspar Betancourt of the garrison and their families are reported to be burled In the, ruins. They were loading cases of the dynamite on wagons when the explo sions occurred. The central court in which the work was going on was covered with dead and wounded. The work of exhuming the dead and searching for those who still may be alive is going on tonight. bu It is greatly retarded by the breaking of the electric light wires and the fear that a quantity of unexplbded dyna mite may still remain In the ruins.

All the Inner parts of the nebula have been cleared away In producing planets and satellites, but many small masses still survive in the outer shell of the old nebula. These are the comets." SUN DISCOVERED IN ERUPTION Astronomer Finds SO Spots, One 150,000 Miles in Diameter. ST. LOUIS, May 18. Solar eruptions were observed this afternoon by Father Martin S. Brennan, professor of astronomy at the Kenrlck Seminary. He saw 30 distinct spots on the sun. One of them be estimated was 150,000 miles in diameter. "Three awful groupa." is the way - that Father prennan describes the spots. "The recurrence of spots at this time is very unusual, but there is nothing in it to cause uneasiness," said Father Bren nan. "It simply Indicates internal ac tivity. There Is no possible connection between the comet and the sun spots The comet is 80,000.000 miles away from the sun and could not possibly have any effect upon It. "Jt would require a body as large as the earth to fall Into the sun to make such a spot as the large one In the principal group.' CHINESE FIGHT ON SHIP Twenty-three Passengers From Ori ent Reach Seattle Wounded. SEATTLE, Wash., May 18. Twenty three Chinese passengers on the Blue Funnel Line steamer Keemun, which arrived h6re last night from Hong kong, were wounded In a battle on the ship three days ago, a feud having broken out between the men from Wllchow, on the Slkiang, and those from Samshul, near Canton. The first the officers knew of the battle was wen wild shrieks were heard In the part of the ship occupied by the 400 Chinese passengers. At dinner time the B0 Wllchow men, wh were squatting on the deck with their rice bowls, were pounced upon by 50 Sham shut men. The Wllchow men had been expecting an attack and responded briskly, using knives, chairs and other furniture. The Shamshue and five Wilchow-men were on the deck bleeding. CLARA MORRIS TO BE BLIND Fears Are Also Expressed That Ac tress Will Not Recover. - YONTCERS. N. Y., May 18. (Special.) No hope is now entertained of pre venting Mrs. F. C. Herrlott (Clara Mor ris), actress, from becoming totally blind. Dr. B. M. Belcher, family physician, stated today that every possible effort was being made to cure Mrs. Herrlott of her ailment, but that her sight was falling so rapidly that it was difficult to see how eventual blindness could be prevented. The general condition of the actress, aside from her eye trou ble, was somewhat worse today, and efar was expressed by servants at the Herrlott household that their mistress might not recover. JJrs. Markle, Lesard and Hartley, famous New York eye and ear special ists, were in conference today on the case.

Anger of Senators Over Alleged Talk Uncalled For Railroad Bill May Suffer. WASHINGTON, May 18. President Taft today authorized several of the adminis tration Senators to dfcny absolutely the stories in circulation during the last few days, that the President recently had de. nounced Insurgents in unmistakable terms and had used language to which these statesmen took offense. Reports reached the White House that some of th insur gents, smarting under what they had heard had been said of them, were de termined to defeat the railroad bill and others of the President's measures, re gardless of what might happen to them or to the party. This latest phase of the situation in the Senate was discussed at the White House today at a conference between the President, Senators Aldrich and Root, and Attorney-General AVlcker sham. The President declared he could not recall having said anything regard ing the insurgents which could in any way Justify the reports that had been spread broadcast since Saturday last. He was told that the remarks attrib uted to him were alleged to have been made to a number of newspapermen The insurgents also are said to have taken offense at the general tone of the discussion at the Saturday confer ence at the White House. The President said he had not made any such remarks as reported. The President is said to have told Senators Aldrich and Root that he was reluctant to believe Senator Borah, of Idaho, had been engaged in the circulation of the reports of the last few days; that he had always regarded Senator Borah' professions of loyalty as sincere, and that while he recognized the Senator's independence in the Senate, he did not believe he was willing to attack all of the Administration measures simply because they .were advocated by the white House. ..- PRIESTS BECOME BISHOPS First Ceremony In History of Amer 1 lean Church Is Due.
