ler, to her petition for divorce, Mra. .Rhoda
Butler, whose case occupies the center of
the stage In district court this week, make
additional sensational charges against her
hut-hand. She charges that her husband
and his attorney used fraud, misrepresenta
tion and duress in securing her signature
to the pre-nuptial contract cited by Butler
In his answer. She denies that a second
pact arranging for the transfer of certain
pieces of property was entered Into with
the express purpose of bringing an action
for divorce and charges Butler with In
structing hi" sttorney to bring suit for di
vorce In her name.
She claims that the contract of settle
ment was grossly Inadequate and unfair
to the plaintiff and that it "provides for a
meie pittance to be paid to her."
Mrs. Butler states that at the time of the
signing of the contract she was Ignorant
of busine.-s matters and that her husband
advised and commended her not to consult
with an attorney with reference to her
rights In the premises, telling her that
large fees would be charged and that her
homestead and other property would be
consumed with such fees.
Butler was on the witness stand yester
day afternoon, his examination occupying
the greater part of the afternoon. He en
tered a denial of all the charges made by
his wife and insisted that he had always
been kind and loving and had urged her
lo remain with him when she threatened
to leave. He denied being abusive and said
he had never objected to the presence of
her children. Butler gave way to tears
while telling of his wife's illness.
It Is expected that the caae will be eub
mitted to the court this morning.

Investlaratlno; Wreck.
Investigation was started at once today
to fix the blame for the wreck of last
night when a Rock Island fair grounds
passenger struck a Fort Des Moines street
car filled with people. Councilman Ham
ery, who Is superintendent of the depart
ment of safety, said today that no arrests
will be made for the present. Up to to
night no deaths had resulted, though a
number are seriously Injured. The street
car was packed with people, many standing
in the aisles and on the front and rear
platforms. The street car gained the
middle of the Rock Island track before the
motorman discovered the mistake and al
most Instantly It was struck by the engine
and carried thirty feet and lodged against
the framework of bridge across the Des
Moines river. Hut for this bridge the car
full of people would have been carried
Into the river.
As nearly as can be ascertained at this
time the street car conductor misunder
stood the signal of the flagman stationed
at the crossing. The flagman claims that
he signaled the Rock Island passenger to
proceed. It Is claimed, however, that the
flagman used the wrong flag or else that
In the dusk of the evening the motorman
could not see the color of the flag.
