THAT BOND REPORT.
1t May be Made by the Investigate
ing Committee During the
Campaign.

Washington, D. G. July Ex-senator
Harris, chairman of the Senate commit
tee to investigate recent bond issues, says
he has not yet determined whether the
committee will wait until fall before GO
ing on with its investigation or whether
it will complete the work, frame the re-
port and make it public this summer.
This last meeting adjourned subject to
the cali of the chairman and the present
purpose is to wait until fall before con-
tiDuing the inquiry, but Senator Harris
says that conditions may arise, incident
to the campaign, that would make it de-
sirable to present all the facts and the
report to the public at once. In doing
this, he added, no political motives would
be involved, and the only purpose would
be to clear up doubts and unfounded
charges growing cut of the excitement
arising from a national contest. The
chairman says that if public misappre-
tension should arise on bond questions, it
would be proper to give the public the
amplest information without reference
to whsm it would benefit or iniure

KANSAS DIVORCE DECISION.
No Basis for the Sensational differences
Drawn.

New York, July 2O.-On Wednesday a
Kansas dispatch was published which
stated that a decision by the court of APP
Deals of that state nulliics at least 3D.
900 DEGREES of divorce which have been
granted during the last quarter of CEN
fury Details as to the decision show
the slight foundation for the sensational
inference. 1t appears that 6; statute
passed in 1871 which permits husband
and wife TO testify against each other
in matrimonial causes has been pro-
nounced unconstitutional because it
failed to express the scope of the act il
its title, rs is required by the Kansas
constitution. This decision, however,
has no retroactive effect save III the case
in which it was rendered. Court DEGREES
regularly entered are valid until set
aside on appeal or by motion and it is
safe to say that no decree entered in the
last twenty-five years will be disturbed
unless the trial judge, following the
statute in question, admitted evidence of
a husband or wife over objection, where
an exception was taken, and the time to
review the decree By appeal has not ex-
pired. None but the parties themselves
has any standing to disturb these de-
crees, and as both parties usually well
come the Judgment which sewers the
marriage tie, divorces once granted will
have no shadow cast on their validity,
and no puzZling questions as to legiti
macy o. children and property rights will
be presented

MRS. STOREY'S ESTATE IN COURT.

lop has asked for letters of administra-
ton upon the estate of his wife, who was
better known as the former Mrs Wilbur
E. Storey. She died May p. The statu-
tory time for application for letters upon
her estate would have expired on Tues

sence of Judge Kohlsaat, the bond pre-
sented was not approved. The amount
of the bond was fixed at 100000 and
the American Surety company was sub
mitted as surety
The petition showed that the estate is
worth $3S5,OOO of which S350,000 IS in
stocks, bonds and furniture. According
to the petition, the only heir, beside Mr.
Dunlop, is Benjamin B. Lamb, a nephew,
of Thirty -ninth street and Michigan ave-
nue.. Mr.. Dunlop asked that Albert c..
Schmeltz of 7S1 West Van Buren, street
be appointed administrator. 4 good deal
of the property is in a deposit vault,
while some is in possession of Mr.. Lamb.
Mr.. Dunlop attempted to make proof of
heirship, but it was shown he was not
fully acquainted with his wife's family
history, and the proof was not completed
after his testimony had been given

eryone in the house was reticent as to
| the nature Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's illness,
though it is believed to be a light at
tack of paralysis caused by worrying
over his sons proposed marriage to Miss
Wilson.
At first, no one would admit that Mr..
/ Vanderbilt was ill, but when the tan
bark was spread around the house, they
reluctantly confessed it. So i'll was he
yesterday that Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr,
did not go out at all, but remained with
his father. Mrs Vanderbilt and her
expected in town today.
1t Is feared that his sons decision to
marry with or without his consent has
worried Mr.. Vanderbilt so much that it
brought on the paralytic stroke.
Young. Vanderbilt drove in Central
the first time since the attack Of infam-
matory rheumatism compelled him to put
off his marriage. Though still very
weak, he is able to be about the house,
and will be with his father till he is out
of danger. The marriage, which il was
expected would take place this week,
will be postponed till his fathers health
is restored.
The Herald this morning says in refer
ence to the illness of Cornelius Wander
bilt, Sr.: "Mr. Twombly (Mr. Wander
bits brother-in-law) said that the family
felt no immediate cause for serious
alarm as to the patients Illness Will
liam G.. Whitney, when asked as to the
condition of Mr. Vanderbilt, said: ooh,
l don't think there is anything danger
Gus about it."
Cornelius Vanderbilt was born in 1913,
and is consequently 50 years old He is
one of the very wealthy men of this
country, though it is hard to even make
an approximate guess as to the amount
Of his riches.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who certainly
knows Mr.. Vanderbilt much better than
any other man in the world, recently
made the statement that the latter is
worth not less than S60,000,000. He
has three brothers and four sisters. He
has also a wife and three living chill
dren. His brothers are w. K, Fred
erick W. and George. His sisters are
Mrs. Nick. TwombIy, Mrs Elliott
Shepard, Mrs. DIR. Seward Webb and
Mrs. w. D. Sloane. Mr.. Vanderbilt's
eldest son died soon after leaving college
a few years ago. There are now Cor
nelius, Jr., Alfred and Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt.
New York July 20.-Cornelius Wander
bilt, according to his physicians, passed
a comfortable night. DR.. McLane left
the residence at $40 this morning. He
said that while he had been in the house
all night he had not found it necessary
to remain all the time at the bedside of
the patient. Mr.. Vanderbilt he said
slept soundly from IL o'clock last night
until 6 o'clock this morning.
