, AN IMPORTANT RULING.

Lawyers InteAesteA I'm n DecisiOn
Regarding Evfdencb i'm Divorce Suits.
The ruling Of Judgd Cox in the divorce
case of Frances Z. against Wilhelm Bern
hardt, a teacheraiof German in the public
schools, has become the subject of con-
siderable discussion among the members Of
the local bar, and the action of the Court
of Appeals in the matter is awaited with
much more than. usual interest.
Mrs. Bernhardt prayed for divorce a
mensa ct thoro from bed and board and
for maintenance alleging cruel treatment
on the part of her husband. She was prac-
tically the only witness who testified in
support OF her charge, and Mr.. Henry e.
laws, counsel for Prof. Bernhard, con-
tended that notwithstanding equity rule
w, she was not entitled to the relief pray
ed for by her. The rule in question pro-
woes that In case for divorce from he'd
petitioner may be taken as to any cruel
or inhuman treatment alleged in the petit
ton to have taken place when no witness
competent TO testify was present. The rule
mas peen observed for many years here,
ana many people have been granted di-
Vorces under its operation. Mr.. Davis
argued that the effect Of the rule was to
leglslate against a recognized rule of evil
dence, which makes it incompetent for the
court to consider the unsupported testi-
mony OF the petitioner in such case.
IN olsmlssfng the bill Judge Cox stated
IN the decree that. being of opinion that
the testimony of Mrs. Bernhard was in
competent, equity rule 80 Notwithstanding,
and that, being Of the further opinion,
without regard to the merits of the testi-
mony IN general. that there was not, with
out Mrs. Bernhardt's testimony, sufficient
evidence to sustain the allegations con-
tanned in her petition as grounds for di-
vorce from bed and board, he would dis
miss the case
From Judge Cox's decision Mr.. o. D..
Barrett, representing Mrs. Bernhard. not
ed an appeal to the Court of Appeals.
pending here similar to the Bernhardt
case, and hence the decision of the appel
late court will be awaited with special in
terest by the counsel and parties interest
ed therein, as well by the members of the
canoe OF Judge Cox's ruling.

Our Harbcr In an Unprotected and
Unsafe Condition.
Just at this season of the year the most
talked of topics at the river front are fish,
weather. gales, seas, and the excursions
that are to come. Every now and then
some one happens to use the words fire, ice,
police, OF something of that sort, and this
always starts lively converse ton on how
badly Washington harbor needs a harbor
boat. Some one Is always ready with
yarn to the effect that the present launch
Joe Blackburn, while going to the rescue OF
one or the great Norfolk and Washington
steamers, got an eel tangled in her screw
and her crew had to be taken off by
passing mud scow. A yarn of this nature
Will always bring laugh, because every
body knows down there what a pretty,
feeble, little gilt-edged boat the Blackburn
u.s. She was all right in her day and gen.
Grafton. but an up-to-date cruiser Is what
cally that the Blackburn can only steam
with the tide. and then If the wind hap
pens to be her way. Very little respect is
felt for her. as the folks say You might
wreck her with banana peel. The river
frontsmen want boat. They are weary
each winter of the fearful cry of ice"
gorge" blockade" h'fiood," suspended
navigation and Baltimore tugs" Then
at dead of night fire breaks out on one of
the boats and the zen tire shipping and dock
ing are threatened.
No boat is near TO pull the burning craft
into the river and pump tons of water int o
her. Only two FIRE engines, stand on the
land to squirt streams, that are absolutely
Inadequate to sqaelch the fiery mass. When
wooden steamer takes fire. quick and he
rofc measures are necessary to save her.
The harbor police make the point that a
police boat may combine the qualities of
an ice boat, fire boat and general harbor
boat The Peanweod, one Of the most pow
erful sea-going tugs in the world, while not
strictly ire boat, can pump eighty tons
eff water an hour. She cost about $4,000.
Then there Is tho great Baltimore tug Sam
son, and the Hercules, too. that didn't cost
quite SO much, but are mighty boats and
can break ice and throw water in very
sincere way. 1t is understood at the river
front that the Commissioners like the pro-
iect and that they recommended an appro-
priation Of $4,000 for the purchase of the
right kind of boat.
