Destroys Her Principal De-i Alleged that Married Wom

for Alienation I
t '
CASE MAY BE SETTLED
CHICAGO, Nov. 21. The decision
that upheld the legality of the divorce
of Mrs. Alice M. Dorsey from Jackson
H. Dorsey, thereby making lawful her
marriage to Marshall Clark, has
brought about a consultation between
her attorneys and those representing
Miss Antoinette Elizabeth (Jazzam,
whom she is suing for 1150,000 for
alienating Clark's affections. The
court granted twenty days to-the de
fense for the filing of an amended
bill attacking the marital 'record of
Mrs. Clark, but the Indications non
are that the case will be settled out of
court and that she will receive a large
sum in damages for the loss of her
husband.
The decision of the District court
of Chicago that Mrs. Marshall Clark
had peeh divorced legally from her
first husban who viewed irom wineiy
different angles toy the lawyers In the
case yesterday. Samuel H. Thomas,
one of Mrs. Clark's counsel, asserted j
the wife's Victory had torn away one
ot the principal supports in the de
fense relied upon by Antoinette Eliz
abeth . Oasxam, . Cornwall heiress, to!
disprove that she had alienated Clark's j
affections.
In her answer to the $150,000 suit
of Mrs. Clark Miss Gazzam alleged
that Mrs. Clark had never been the
legal wife of Clark. Following the
tiling of the damage suit Clarli sued,

divorce from Jackson-Dorsey, which
was granted In August, 1902. Whet.
Miss Gazxam filed her answer in the
damage suit she set up as a defense,
almost verbatim, the charge Clark
had made agafnst his wife.
"The decision of the Chicago court

confident of victory," said Mr. Thomas
yesterday- "Tl,e biggest point is now
disposed of In our favor and our cas.j
Is greatly utrengthened."
One of Miss Gazzam's attorneys

MOMENTOUS STRUGGLE

Appeal to The Country May
Wipe Out Ihe Liberal
Majority Entirely
LONDON, Nov. Si. The I'nited
Kingdom' is more absorbed In politics
now than for some years and the
coming week will see the culmination
of the fierce warfare that has been
carried on over the budget. The house
of lords Is expected to vote Thursday
on Ird Iansdowne s resolution call
ing for the rejection of the budget.
Then most of thr Dig guns In the
upper house will speak on the ques
tion. Lord Roseberry's effort for the
conservatives, and that of the Earl of
Halsbury for the liberals, are await
ed with the utmost interest.
Probably the largest number of
lords will be mustered for the vote
since the rejection of the home rule.
About 450. many of whom politically
are strangers In parliament are likely
to be assembled, and not more than
me quarter of these will support the
budget.
Most qX the politTcluns predict that

people at the general elctlon In Jan

the great liberal majority and that
the liberal government will bo re

small majority. The betting at Lloyds
is .1 to 1 in favor of the liberals.
