MONEY CAUSED THEIR TROUBLE.
a Sum Disappeared and Each Dis
trusted the Other.

Mary +. Walton was granted a divorce
from Thomas e. walton yesterday in the
Superior Court. The eyiieflce heard in
Room several weeks ago. 1t was money
that came between the Waltons. The plain
tiff was a dressmaker and Walton poultry
dealer when they were married. Each
brought the other $500 and it was decided to
buy property. A location was selected at
Anderson, and Walton was to start one
morning TO invest the 81 900 i'm Anderson real
estate. The night before he was to leave the
money disappeared. Mrs. Walton accused
her husband of getting away with the sum.
and he accused her of extracting it from his
pocket The money never turned up. and the
incident caused each to distrust the other.
They separated, and the wife finally applied
for the divorce which was granted.

CABINET ROUTINE.
How the BUSINESS OF the Presidents
Advisers Is Conducted.


Advisers Is Conducted.
Benjamin Harrison, in Ladies Home Jour-
In all important matters the President Is
consulted by all the Secretaries. he IS re-
sponsible for all executive action, and ev-
erything that is out of the routine receives
his attention. Every important foreign COM
plcation is usually discussed with him, ana
the diplomatic note receives mis- approval.
The same thing is true of each OF the de-
partments. Routine matters proceed with
out the knowledge or interference of the
President; but if any matter Of major i'm
portance arises the Secretary presents Ii
for the consideration and advice Of the
President. Only matters of great and gen.
erai Importance aifecting the general poiicy
or the administration are discussed In the
Cabinet Notwithstanding to my expert
ence-and votes are OF rare occurrence
Any Secretary desiring 10 have an express
sion upon any question in his department
presents 1t, and il is discussed; but usually
questions are settled in conference between
the President and the head of the partcu-
lar department. If there is that respect
and confidence that should prevail between
a President and his Cabinet officers this
consultation Is one on equal terms, and the
conclusion is one that both support. There
should be no question of making a mere
clerk of the Cabinet officer; there is a
yielding or views, now on one side, now on
that when the President has views that he
feels he cannot yield, those views must pre-
vail for the responsiD4..,y is his, both in
a constitutional and popular sense. The
Cabinet officer is a valued adviser, and it
does not often happen that his views and
those of the President cannot be recon-
ciled. My habit was TO give afternoon
TO each Cabinet officer, on fixed day of
the week. These meetings were chiefly
given up to the consideration of appoint
ments, burt if any other matters were pend
ing. and deemed by the Secretary of suffi-
Gent Importance, they were presented and
discussed. The Cabinet officer is chiefly en-
titled to the credit If his department is we'll
administered, for most things he transacts
on MS own responsibility The labors OF a
Cabinet officer are incessant and full of
responsibility. His time is largely taken
up with calls and, like the President, he
must, out of such fragments of time as ne
can secure, manage to study and decide the
important questions that are daily pre-
scented to him.

Local railway men who know the methods
of Chicago roads in ''hogginas' business by
secretly shading rates will enjoy the follow
ing dispatch sent out from Chicago by the
Associated Press last night: Chicago roads
which are members OF the Joint Traffic As
ISOLATION are making great clamor over
the failure of the board of managers to
give them relief against rate cutters. Ow-
ing to this failure they are losing traffic
right and left every day in the week. This
loss already amounts to many thousands
OF tons. The longer ii continues the harder
IL will be for the roads 10 recover the traf-
fic which is being diverted to roundabout
routes, not members of the association. The
board of managers has not been allowed to
remain in ignorance of the condition of af-
fairs. but ii continues inactive. 1t seems TO
have set its face like steel against cut rates.
In consequence Of its disregard of the
interests OF the roads, many of them are
threatening to ignore it's existence and to
take Independent action. That would be
equivalent to the disruption of the associa-
ton. Predictions are now freely made that
ii will never live TO celebrate the first ami
versary of its organization.

DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
Albert MiddIeton's Experience I'm the
Little Town of Broad Ripple.

Albert Middleton. a farmer living about
seven miles northeast Of Broad Ripple,
claims that after being drugged he was
robbed OF SlA Monday night at Broad
Ripple. Newton Smith. OF Broad Ripple,
was arrested yesterday morning by the
town marshal and charged with the crime.
Marshal Morgason says that Smith re-
ported the robbery TO him before Middle
ton had recovered from the effect OF the
drug administered.
According to Middleton's story the inter-
est on the mortgage on his farm was due
Monday and he borrowed 500 from a bank
and $40 from his brother and then went to
Broad Ripple TO pay the interest. While
In the town and before settling the bust
ness which brought him there. Middleton
went TO the house of Newton Smith, a
fisherman and old friend, to buy some fish.
A bargain was made and Middle ton drew
his roll OF bills from his pocket to pay for
the fish. but he had 10 go through almost
the entire roll to find a 81 bill. Smith saw
the size OF the roll and realized the amount
or money IL contained. AS soon as the
money had been passed TO him he invited
Middleton to take a drink on the strength
of the trade. Middleton heSitated, but was
persuaded TO do so. When smith was pre-
pairing the liquor Middleton claims that ne
saw him put some sort of powder into IL
which Smith claimed was sugar The stuff
was taken and Middleton almost imme-
when he awoke two hours later he was
minus his roll of bills. The matter was re-
ported to the marshal with the result that
Smith is locked up charged with larceny.
