ENGLISH UP IN ARMS AGAINST SOAP TRUST Battle Rages Furiously Over Con trol of Simple Household Article.. Hew York Herald Speoial Cable Service. Copy right, X906, by the New York Herald. London, Oct. 27.Not since the American invasion of the British to bacco market has the whole country been plunged into such a state of agi tation as it is now over the attempt of "William Lever, M. P., manufacturer of soap, backed up, it is said, by some American millions, to form a huge soap trust. The battle rages furiously be tween those firms which-have been pre vailed upen to join Mr. Lever on the one hand and a large number of other soap manufacturers supported by the giocers, on the other, who are furious. Mr. Le"\er in originating the com binplion. tried to pose as a public ben efactor. He contended that enormous amounts spent \ipon advertising and the keen competition that prevailed les sened piofits and made soap dearer than it ought to be. Therefore, he proposed a combination which would result in cheaper soap to the public, and what does he do? No sooner has he ob tained the &upport of some of the most powerful soap-making firms in the countrv, than he raises the price of his soap and without warning reduces his pound or sixteen-ounce bars to fifteen ounces. Free Trade Advocate. It is observed as somewhat curious that the moving spirit in this effort to create a gigantic monopoly should be a liberal member of parliament and an ardent advocate of free trade. Mr Lever, like a good many protec tionists, seems to believe in free trade in every other trade but his own. He has made an enormous fortune in legiti mate competition with other soap man ufacturers, and it has been freely re marked in the lobby of the house of commons that it is therefore all the more surprising that he should now seek to crush out his rivais, put down the profits of retailers and try to make the public pa ythe price of a pound of soap for one ounce less. Such a howl has followed this move as perhaps never before has been heard in trade. Grocers will not sell his soap and the public will not buy it. Grocers Will Fight. The grocers are deturmmed to fight the combination to the bitter end, and at the first clash of arms the trust would appear to have been staggered. Accustomed to think in soap, quite un accustomed to the force of public opin io Ion relying entirely upon their 12, 000,000 capital and their thousand tons fsoap adsy, the leaders of the soap trust have been taken back by the ris ing public indignation at their attempt to form a corner an article of daily use in every household. Detected in the fifteen-ounce trick they have been forced to go back to the full weight, but they are now face to face with a temporary rise in the I price of raw materials, which they themselves engineered. At the pres ent moment they have not decided on a plan. FARMER BUflNS STOPS HIS CORN 'SHUCKING' Old-Time Wrestler Will Break 1 Into Game at Chicago A-ain Next Friday. Speoial to The Journal. Chicago, Oct. 27.Farmer Burns, the veteran of the mat, will be one of the attractions next Friday at the wrest ling tournament at the Brooks casino. He has been signed to meet Emil Klant, the Pacific Northwest champion, and the match promises to be an interest ing event. The terms are catch-as catch-can, best two out of three falls. The strangle hold is barred. Burns is the famous wrestler of ten years ago, and he holds his age remarkably well, but keeps in good condition out on the farm where he now lives in Iowa. He makes matches for himself occa sionally and rarely meets defeat. Klant comes from the northwest, where he has won the title of champion, and he Is a strong, likely wrestler. He hopes to get a match with Fred Beel, the Wisconsin man, by making a good showing in the coming match. CHARMS OP TWIN CITIES BREAK UP TWO HOMES Chicago Men, Seeking Divorces, Testify That Their Wives Eefuse to Leave Their Maiden Homes. Special to The Journal. Chicago, Oct. 27.Chicagoans who always have taken it for granted that Chicago was one of the finest residence cities, were given an awful jolt today when the returns came in from the di vorce court and revealed that at least two women whom Chicago men had married and brought here to live pre ferred to live in Minneapolis and St Paul, respectively. Ellsworth N. McCutcheon is one of the Chicagoans who can't make his wife see the beauties of this city. In applying for a divorce from Sarah H. McCutcheeon he confessed that his wife, who was a resident of Minneapo lis before their marriage, had talked in cessantly about the superior attractive ness of her home town ever since he put the wedding ring on her finger. She wants to go back there and won't live with him. Edward D. Brandon stated in his pe tition for divorce that he went to St. Paul in November, 1902, and met his present wife. Theresa Brandon in a restaurant there. They were married the same day and lived together three days. Then Brandon suggested they should leave for his home in Chicago, but the bride said she "wouldn't leave St. Paul for the best man on earth." So far as he knows, she is still there, says Brandon.

New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copy right, 1906, by the New York Herald. London, Oct. 27.The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, the latter for merly Consuelo Vanderbilt, have defin itely separated. The papers were signed last Monday. Under the agree ment made the duchess retains Sunder land house, which was built with her money. The duke will have Gower house and Blenheim, but the. latter will probably be closed. The public sympathy is entirely with the duchess, but the Churchill family strongly support the duke. Both the duke and duchess have been invited to confirm or deny the report, but they are both mute, the duchess sending word that she has nothing to say on the subject of the reports while the duke thus far has not answered the telegrams addressed to him at Blen heim where he is at present rusticating in company with Winston Spencer Churchill and other relatives. Duke Can't Keep Palace Up. The people of Blenheim castle estate are freely discussing the affair and it appears to be the general understand ing that the magnificent palace will be closed as the duke will find difficulty in keeping it up. It is said he will take up his residence at Woodstock house, a small place on the estate. The duchess remains in close seclu sion at Sunderland house on Curzon street this city. Her father, W. K. Vanderbilt was with her until three days ago, when he left London either fer Paris or for New York. The report of the separation of the duke and duchess hardly comes as a surprise. Eumors of their disagree ments have be,en circulating for several years and recently became more posi tive, and despite the efforts of friends of the family to keep their differences from the public gossip has been busy. There are unconfirmed reports that as late as last week final efforts were made by Vanderbilt for a reconciliation for the sake of the children. Deafness Caused Friction. People intimately acquainted with the Marlborough household intimate that the friction became more acute owing to the slighting, unsympathetic attitude of the duke since the duchess' deafness became more pronounced. She made frequent visits to specialists on the continent for treatment and the duke habitually remained behind en joying the gay life of the metropolis. According to Reynolds's Newspaper, the duke in the opinion of the duchess paid greater attention than necessary to a young thJr Thoe, th wit a her co ersan duchess&haeleveenwarmesrmarriva.t-ssho-wife'shehinef,year-oSincdTLondothn.ifrienelgirT1^situationameveryone ag sympa has made herself most pepular. She has been an active supporter of chari ties, a hard worker for the benefit of the tenants of the Blenheim estate, and a general favorite in society, her wealth enabling her to revive the splen dors of somewhat neglected palace of Blenheim. Only last year she completed Sunder land house, a splendid, but ill-placed mansion, fronting on Curzon street, and looking back over mean slums and a shabby market place. When the duke was in South Africa, the duchess was foremost among the great dames who helped to equip field hospitals, and at the coronation of King Edward she was one of the duchesses who carried the silver supports holding the canopy over the queen's head. At court the duchess is a favorite with both 'the king and queen. It is stated that the duchess will have charge of her two sons, Lord Blan ford and Lord Ivor Spencer Churchill, until they are old enough to go to school, after which they will divide their time with both parents. CHILDREN IN TEENS ELOPE FOURTH TIME Albert and Charlotte, Aged 14 and 13, Take Possession of $95 Flat and Swindle Butcher. New York Herald Special Service. New York, Oct. 27.Albert SpizuccOj 14, and Charlotte Francis, 13, who eloped three times between Aug. 28 and Oct. 15, have eloped again. This time the eloping tots saw a vacant flat in One Hundred and Thirty fifth street, price $95 a month. They took a squatter's claim. Albert told the story in the children's court.

"After a while we goes back. Lot tie and I found an old icepick and she spears the meat and cooks it over the gas.'' It all came about because Albert read 10-eent novels. As driver of a milk wagon he left cream and love notes for Charlotte and soon a desperate.love match was made which gave him all the excitement he could wish for.

Vienna, Oct. 27.The dream of an English archeologist, Professor Wald etein, of Cambridge, is nearing its rea lization. Herculaneum, the ancient Bo man city which was buried 1,800 yeais ago by an eruption of Vesuvius, is to be excavated by the united action of England, France, Germany, Italy, the Unitea States and other countries. The neighboring Pompeii, which was ruined bv the same disaster, and is still being laid bare, was a comparatively unim portant place, having no libraries or im portant works of art. Many rich Romans had their magnifi cent villas at Herculaneum. Most of the interesting objects in the Naples museum came from that city, where, however, at present only a few houses have been uncovered, and that, so to say, accidentally. All scientists agree that at Herculaneum most of the miss ing sections and entire works of the Greek and Roman authors and many art treasures must still lie buried. Town to be Demolished. Hitherto there have been very strong reasons why Herculaneum could not be unearthed. The town of Resina has been built some eighty feet above the ancient city. Consequently, first of all Resina must be bought up and demol ished, and secondly it would be neces sary to remove a layer of earth eighty feet thick, the expense of which under takings would be enormous. No one country, said Professor Wald stein, is rich enough to undertake this mission alone, and so he conceived the idea that this great work, which will in crease the knowledge of the whole world, must be undertaken collectively. First he laid the matter before King Edward, from whom he received the greatest encouragement. Kaiser as Honorary President. The professor then approached King Victor Emmanuel and the kaiser, both of whom entered heartily into the proj ect. The kaiser consented to accept the honorary presidency for Germany, and said that one of his princes should be active president. Mr. Roosevelt after ward accepted the presidency for the Unitea States, and France's goodwill has also been assured. Now only the final decision of the Italian government^ under whose pro tection the international co-operation is to take place, is wanting. Italy's con sent is not doubtful. Professor "Wald stein is sure he will soon get the neces sary funds for excavating Herculaneum. At present only $200,000 a year will be necessary. CrC. V. NUTTINO. VICE PRESIDENT E. H.

The dear unfair sex denounced Hearst as a bare-faced impostor in the rousing woman's meeting that packed the doors o* Camp Hughes today. Miss Helen Tonge, president of the West Side Woman's Republican asso ciation, under whose auspices the meet ing was held, proved to be spellbinder that made them sit up and take notice. Incidentally Mrs. Charles E. Hughes made her first appearance on the plat form in the interests of her husband. She didn't speak, but she bowed and smiled charmingly, impressing many that she was probably the exception that some Hughes men "has no boss- es." The audience went wild and seemed to strongly favor this boss. "We have two men before us for high positionswhich will you have? He is to be the people's servantyou help pay him," Miss Tonge began. "Now what kind of a man do you want! The man who bids high with millions to boot, who couldn't get the job of dogcatcher where he was born, or the man, who, without anything, without money and who today wants your friendship, free from entangle ment, taint of bosses, has no private business to exploit. Neither has he a contract on hand to supply six-inch headlines. But he stands ready with clean hands to execute the will of the people. "There is another man asking for the franchisewhat of him?

Constantinople, Oct. 27.This is the quiet season in Constantinople, most of the ambassadors are away and their places are taken by first secretaries, so matters political are more or less at a standstill. However, your correspond ent had an opportunity of talking with one of the diplomatic chiefs and with a high legal luminary here, and the fol lowing are some of their conclusions upon the situation in Turkey today: Germany has been for years pursuing by far the smartest commercial policy here.' When Gladstone took upon him self to abuse the sultan as a red-handed and blood-stained tyrant, it was quite natural that England's popularity should wane here. Won by Friendship. "When all the powers were abusing Turkey and contemplating her parti tion, the German emperor announced himself as the sultan's brother and al most an ally.

If the powers were to tell the agitators to cease they would comply at once, but the powers do not wish to do so." Mr. Leishman has had the good luck of finding an excellent suitable em bassy house in a fine front looking on Kapriston street, two doors from the Pera Palace hotel. It is a fine, square built house, three stories high, with a garden in front and behind, and in the interior a loft reception hall. In former times the American lega tion was a poor kind of apartment, above a shop of dubious appearance, and was just the kind of place it would be impossible to protect in the event of fanatical rioting, such as takes place here periodically. Now the American representative can be safeguarded and, above all, have a dwelling befitting his new rank as ambassador. SIGHT RESTORED BY FALL Effect of Plunge Down Stairs Dispels Another Accident. Special CaUe to The Journal. London, Oct. 27.A strange case of sight which was destroyed by one acci dent being restored, by another Is re ported from Leeds. A practical joke was played on Miss Maria Louisa Goodyear of Headingley, while she was employed as a machinist at Hunslet twenty-two years ago. Her stool was withdrawn by a fellow worker from its usual placa, and Miss Goodyear fell and struck her head. The force of the blow caused pressure of the skull on the optic nerve, and she lost her sight. Twelve years latir she fell from the top to the bottom of the cellar steps. The medical man who was called In said that she had shaken the optic nerve, and de clared that if he could giva her a blow on the head her sight might be restored. He dared not try the experiment, how ever, as it might jeopardize her reason. Now Miss Goodyear has fallen down a flight of stairs again. The fall was fol lowed by severe pains in the head, and the sudden return of her sight just in time to see her mother before the latter died. Miss Goodyear's sight is excellent once more, -and she has no need for specta cles. Don't Delay in Buying Your Stock Only 25,000 shares at the par value of $1.00 will be sold.
