DIVORCE SUIT SETTLED
A Famous Baltimore Divorce
Suit ANONYMOUSLY
Terminated.
Both Husband and Wife Are
Finally Denied a Legal
Separation.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.-Judgc Dennis
today settled the famous kirkland di-
vorce case by denying to both husband
and wife IA legal separation. Thus ends
one of the most sensational cases IN the
history of the state. Mrs. Estelle Kirk
land first became know to the public
four years ago, when she charged j..
Graham Pearre, a fellow boarder at the
Albion hotel, with entering her room
and attempting to outrage her. Pearre
comes from one of the best families IN the
state, and every effort was made by his
people To settle the suit. Mrs. Kirkland,
however, insisted on the case going to
court, and on her testimony Pearre was
convicted. Pending an appeal he was
admitted to ~, 600 bail, which he for
feited by leaving the state. Since then
be has been abroad. His relatives have
made every effort TO obtain a pardon,
but Mrs. Kirkland herself went before
the governor ana insisted that a pardon
under the circumstances would injure her
character. II was not long after this
that Mrs, Kirkland applied for a divorce
from her husband on the ground OF aban-
donment, w%hcreupon ne flied an answer
charging her with adultery, and nam
ing DR.. George +. Morrow, a young
dentist "a correspondent. In rendering
his decision Judge Dennis devotes TWEEN
ty-two closely written pages to the con
duet Of Mrs. Kirkland. Such a scathing
rcbukc has never been heard in court.
Speaking of her relations with Morrow
he said: There can be but one con.
clusion as 70 what took place when they
were screened from observation, with
their mutual inclination unhampcred and
the unlimited opportunity fol its in
diligence, Courts can accept no eXtrava-
giant expressions of platopism in cXtcnua-
ton Of such relations between a married
woman and a man not her husband.
They can Oe explained upon no other the
DRY than of guilt"

To Amend the Land Laws.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 5.-The house ON
mittee on lands took action on the senate
bill relating to public lands, by means of
which ii is hoped to secure legislation at
this session Of congress. The house
passed, during the last session, a biz re
pealing the pre-emption and timber cul-
ture laws and otherwise amending the
land laws, but no action has been taken
on the measure by the senate. In order
to facilitate the passage Of the essential
features of this general land bill, the house
committee today took up the bill passed
by the senate in December providing that
the public land of the United States, 10
subject to private entry, shall be disposed
Of under the homestead laws only. After
making numerous amendments 20 the bill
Mr.. Holman was instructed 10 report ii to
the house and ask its carly consideration
1t is the purpose Of the committee in this
way to cndeavor TO throw the proposed
land reform legislation into the hands of
a conference committee Of the house and
senate, To secure, if possible, the substan-
tial changes desired TO be Effected IN the
land laws. The bin agreed upon by the
committee today provides that public
lands chiefly valuable for agriculture or
subject to private entry shall be disposed
of under the homestead law only and
that the presumption law shall be re
pealed and persons who have made a
pre-emption or homestead entry Of land,
hut have not perfected title thereto, are
given the right TO make another entry;
whenever "A settler on the public domain
is unable on account of the destruction
Of crops, sickness or any other upavoida-
bic cause TO secure support from the land
located upon local land officers may
grant a leave of absence from the claim
to the settler for not exceeding one year.
Homestead settlers who have made entry
to less thar one quarter section Of land
are given the privilege of making an
other entry, the aggregate quantity un.
der both entries not to exceed 100 acres.
