Can Married Man
Have Fiancee?
This Is But One of the Many
Quertioo Canadian Court
Has to Untangle.
Montreal. Que., Jan. II. When i
man says lie will divorce Hit wile,
so he may marry another woman,
is that other woman entitled to re
gard herself a his fiancee and as
such receive gifts?
That is only one of the questions
which is before the court in the
langlcd affairs of business and the
heart ill which appear Shirley
Oglivie, vice president of the Abitibi
power and Taper company, and
pretty badie .Martin, former steno
grapher for Craig, Luttcr and Irvine,
local brokers.
Before the court has answered this
question, it will hear about Mrs.
Oglivie's buit against Miss Martin.
That suit was filed to recover gifts
estimated at $45,000.
There is another suit, one for
100,000 against Oglivie, brought by
Miss Martin, because she said he
had been maligning her character.
This charge is based on Oglivie's
onduct. after his return from Paris.
That f rip will be another bit for the
courts to untangle. It is reported
that' he and Miss Martin went to
I'aris in the hope of getting one of
these "so convenient French
divorces, such as the Goulds and
others have obtaintcd.
To that purpose, it is said. Lord
Beaverbrook introduced Mr. Oglivie
to an expert who had acted in such
cases for several wealthy Americans.
This divorce effort missed fire and
Oglivie returned. It is rumored that
fie hoped his wife would sue in the
Canadian courts because of his trip
to Paris. Bat she did not.
Instead she sued Miss Martin. It
appears Irom rumor, that ugnvic
must have tried to explain things
to his wife and that some of the
alk reached Miss Martin and so she
began her $100,000. Now Oglivie
at outs with two yomeo. Miss
Martin's attorneys raise the point
that she was his fiancee, because he
ad told her he would get a divorce
and marry her.

Expeave of St. Law

Washington. Jan.. H. Improve
ment of the New Wetland canal be
tween Lake Erie and Lake Ontario,
at well as the it. Lawrence river to
provide 30-foot channel from Lake
trie to the tea, hat been recom
mended by the international joint
commistion, in it report on the pro
posed Great Lakei-St. Lawrence wa
terway, according to Representative
Chalmers, republican, Ohio, Today
he introduced bill in the house au
thorizing the improvement by the
United . States, but stipulating that
the expense be borne equally by the
United . States and Canada, through
a bond issue guaranteed by both
government.
the report of the commission,
which has been submitted to the
State -department, but has not yet
been made public, Mr. Chalmers said
in a statement, recommend that the
project including the widening and
deepening of the New Wetland canal
be undertaken and that the cost be
met through taxation by the United
State and Canada. The commission
report, he said, recommends that the
division of costs be figured on the
basis of known traffic tor five years
to be definitely ascertained by an
international survey. ,
"I believe such a procedure is too
indefinite and intangible to be used
as a. basis tor determining the allo
cation of the costs of the enterprise,
which will ruu into tlie hundreds of
millions of dollars," he declared. "I
think the 50-50 proposition is the
safest and fairest for both countries."
The Chalmers bill provides that
bonds should be retired with pro
ceeds derived from the sale of hydro-electric
power made available for
commercial use by the improvements.
The measure also proposes that the
benefit, derived by hydro-electric
energy shall ' be evenly divided be
tween the two countries.
