Mrs. Suzanne Tau. was offered In evi
dence as "Kxhlblt A" In county court
Tuesday In the trial of her $1TO damaae suit
against Uuftave K, 8hukert, furiler, ror
ruining her 175 fur cost by cutting It to
Piece. The coat, hung around Mrs. I'aul,
was offered in evidence as "Exhibit It."
Judge 1eslle took a view with his artistic
eye and decided the coat was not ruthed
and gave a Judgment for Hhukert. ordering
Mrs. Thul to rT the costs of the suit.
Mrs. Taul swore she left the coat with
Phukert, aeklng liltn to sew up a rip snd
to sew on three buttons. Phe said when
'.ie went to get the garment It waa cut
to pieces and Shukcrt gave It to her only
after a long argument and several demands.
When he sewed it together and returned li.
she testified. It did not fit.
Shukert and his employes testified Mrs.
Taul ordered new fur substituted for worn
fur on the edges of the garment, ordered
the collar reshaped and several minor re
pairs made. The reason tie coat was
cut in pieces, said the furrier, mas that
this waa necessary at one stage of the
repairing process and Mrs. Taul culled
before the work was finished.
When Mrs. Paul proposed to try on the
coat before Judge Leslie to prove It did
not. fit, flhukert's attorney objected. Judge
leslle overruled the objection, but said as
far as be could see the coat fitted very
well.
Sinclair, His Wife
and Co-Eespondent
Are on Good Terms
NEW YORK, Aug. IS.-The marital dif
ficulty of Upton Sinclair, the L'pton colon
ist and socialist author, and Meta Fuller
Sinclair reached a climax today When the
author brought suit for absolute divorce
naming Harry Kemp, the poet, as co
respondent. While tha papers were being prepared by
Mr. Sinclair's attorney for service upon
the wife today, she and her husband and
the co-respondent poet Sat in the assembly
room of" a large Broadway, hotel and
quietly discussed with reporters tha
problem of marital relations and Utopia in
In general.
The author and hia wife frequently ad
dressed each other in endearing terms, and
in a most matter-of-fact way Mr. Sinclair
told his wife that his attorney would call
later In the day, as he did, with the formal
papers.
Mrs. Sinclair was asked if she would
fight the divorce proceedings.
"No," she said. "I have not yet con
sulted a lawyer, but my present . Intention
Is not to defend the suit."
When Informed of the statutory grounds
which the New York law requires for the
granting of a divorce she said:
"It does not seem to me ' that divorce
should be a disgrace, even divorce obtained
upon such 'grounds as you say must be
shown in thia stale. I believe that an In
dividual is Justified In pursuing his or her
"I haVe tha misfortune," Ehe said, "to
have a conservative husband. H Is con
servative by Instinct and nature . and a
radical merely by choice. A monogamist
ought to be able to act tli part of a
husband, in other words he ought to have
some time 1o devote to hia wife. He should
not be so absorbed In hia work that the
true proportions of human relationship fade
Into insignificance beside his work."
Mrs. Sinclair said she expected to go
away for a rest and added that Mr. Kemp
W iuld not accompany her. She said that
both of them later might go on the stage,
Mr. Sinclair said that he was going to his
home in Arden.

Council Refuses to Legislate Free
Lunch Away.
LINEMAN HOUCK ELECTROCUTED

loaars Harry Maisasasa
lias Comalalat.
rnwllllng to part with an Institution that
has become veneraMe perhaps by Its asso
ciation with Impoverished genius, the city
council last night turned a deaf ear to the
petition of ,he liquor dealers' association
and refused to legislate against free
lunch.
The report had been In the hands of the
Judiciary committee for soma time and
there was some surprise hen It failed to
appear with the other reports from the
same committee. Inciulry on ths part of
Councilman Kranek, who is a saloonkeeper,
brought, out that while Councilman Wal
ters of the Judiciary committee was will
ing to report, his confreres were not. At
the urging of Kranek, however, a hasty
conference waa held and Rlha agreed to
Sign the report with Walters. Hoffman
would not sign.
Before the report Went to a vote. Jim
Lowry and William Broderlck. two saloon
Ists, asked the privilege of the floor. They
advocated the passage of tha ordinance.
The committee, being pushed to declare
themselves, voted to postpone the matter
Indefinitely. Councllmen Mat. Peterson and
Jack Walters both commended the Intent
of the ordinance, but said that there was
no necessity for the council to interfere.
They declared that If the saloonkeepers
felt that free lunch was a detriment they,
as an organized body, were at perfect lib
erty to put an embargo on the practice
of distributing free lunch.
Police Salaries Allowed.
The police salaries tor the last two
montha were allowed. There was no dis
cussion of the matter. The city's guardians
have complained for some time that the
butcher and the baker had begun to look
askance at blue coats because of the
lenthy period that haa elapsed since a city
pay check had been flaunted before tielr
eyes. Now there will be Joy In the land
and the ropa will walk with prouder step
and, Incidentally,' fatter pockets.
The salaries of the city officials were al
lowed for the past month.
A motion to reduce the assessments of
John Chapuran and Mary Novak was
passed for the reason that the two peti
tioners had through an error been taxed
double.
On the advice of the city attorney, the
council received the bid of Edward Carr
for grading Monroe street. Carr through
his agent, Jerry Fenton, had made a bid
of .122 per cubic yard, but Inadvertantly
had permitted the document to come un
signed before the council. The city at
torney's opinion was that the bid had been
made in good faith and should not be
disregarded because of a technical error of
so little Importance.
Tabulation of bids for paving districts 80
and 87. Inclusive, were ordered published
for the space of one week.
Suit for the appropriation necessary to
the opening of Thirty-fourth street from
U street to St. Mary's cemetery, and of U
street from Thirty-second to Thirty-third
streets, were authorised by the city. Simi
lar action as authorized to widen Madison
street from the center of Twenty-seventh
street to Tlghe's addition.
After aome more rountlne business the
council adjourned until next Tuesday night.
Lineman la Klectrocn ted.
Troy V. Houck, a lineman for the Omaha
Electric Power company, residing at 611
North Twenty-fourth atreet, was electro
cuted yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock
on V street between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth streets.
Houck' was engaged In connecting tip
some wire and was poised between the
primary and secondary lines. The power
had been shut off the primary and In con
necting up he Is said to have leaned against
the secondary, causing a grounding.
Twenty-three hundred volts pass ihrougfi
his body from right to left and his death
was almost instantaneous.
At the time of. the acldent, Frank Hud
dlestone, city foreman for the electric com
pany, was the only one with Houck. Hud
diestone immediately procured a ladder and
made every effort to relieve his comrade
He was, however, unable to do moro than
move the limp body loone from the wire,
allowing it to hang by the safety belt.
While the body was suspended on the
live wire, Houck'a clothing was burned
and the upper portion -of hia body was
scorched and blistered.
An emergency call to the police station,
caused Desk Sergeant Corrigan to notify
truck company No. 1, which hurried to the
scene of the accident. The firemen and
members of the emergency van of the
power company lowered the body to the
ground, whore Dr. t O. Beck vainly en
deavored to restore animation by means
of artificial respiration. Falling lu his
attempts, lr. Beck notified Deputy Coroner
Bernard Larkln, who took charge ot the
body.
Kdmnndson llenled Service.
Harry Edmundson and wife, for many
years residents of Douglas county, yester
day afternoon were refused service at a
local restaurant because of their color.
Burning with resentment at the alleged
affront, Harry and his better halt called
m
at Ihe police station, where they laid the
