has ftled In the Pari court a demand for (ha
annulment ot his son' marriage with Miss
Fthelle Alexander of California. Mis Alex-
ander was married to the prince August last
in Chicago and It wa claimed at the ttme
that according to the laws of France the
marriage was not valid because the prince's
divorce from a former wife was not proved.
Prince Robert claimed that his marriage
was legal In the law of Illinois and In
Paris recently showed a letter from the
French vice consul in Chicago stating that
tha marriage had been recorded with his
government and was legal under the French
lawa The prince added that he had In-
structed his lawyers In Paris to bring autt
against his family to compel them to reoog-
nlie the. marriage and also to recognise In-
terest to which he was entitled.

tion of the Elklns anti-trust law waa be-
gun In the United States circuit court today.

Henry A. Wise addressing the Jury aald the
government -would okww. that Vi Hew -York
Central entered Into an agreement with U
aoallgd sugar trust hi Juat paior to
th passaga of the El kins anti-rebatlng act
to ship' sugar' westward for the trust ht i
cents less per hundredweight than' the tari
rate a cents per one hundred. Over J0t-
OM pounds of aagar were ahlpped under this
agreement Mr. Wise said. The govarnment
also would say that Just after the paesate
of th Klkln act the defendant returner! to
the sugar trust aa rebates but In the form
ot demurrage charges the sum of 124030.
During the examination of several impor-
tant Witneaaee It developed that tho defenxe
has admitted In a signed stipulation that
the company paid 2fl000 to tho aagar com-
pany In 'the form ot demurrage charges.
This 1 practically an admission on the pirt
of the defense of all th charge except that
the 136000 wa paid a rebates.
Lowell P. Palmer formerly traffic man-
ager of the sugar company appeared a a
witness for the prosecution. He wa shown
a letter which figured In the last trial of the
New York Central. This letter refers to an
agreement entered Into by General Traffic
Manager Pomeroy of the New York Central
to ship thg sugafoompaay's augers at a leas
rate than named tn the public tariff. Mr.
Palmer denied that he possessed any right
to make rates without handling the sugar
