A Honey Smoon Broken on by Western
Asylum Authorities


DETROIT, Sept. 1l-Wm. W. Levy and
Johanna Zaul have proved that love will
find a way. His postoffice address for the
past fifteen years has been at various asyl-
ums in tie State of Michigan. She is affiict-
ed with Intermittent insanity and was an
inmate of the Wayne County Asylum While
both were at the Wayne Asylum they fell
in love. She was released on probation by
DR.. Bennett. and he escaped.
They met et Detroit, went 10 Windsor,
procured a license and were married by
the Rev. ID. H. Hind Their honeymoon il,
Detroit was brief, being interrupted by the
authorities who had finally succeeded in
locating Levy. In spite of the wild protes-
tations of the bride and bridegroom, the
unsympathizing officials took him from her
and carried him back to the asylum.
The mourning bride is in despair over
her sudden and unexpected bereavement. In
the forlorn hope Of having her husband re-
stored TO her, she has secured a writ of
habeas corpus, returnable Saturday. In her
affidavit Mrs. Levy says that her husband
relatives are much incensed because he
married a Gentle. and that il is for this
reason he has been taken back to the asyi-
um. The public is watching this case with
much interest, as bearing upon the much
discussed question as TO whether men and
women should not be confined in entirely
separate asylums.

The Insular Commission Completes
Its Report
Porto Rico's New Code Now Su~Ject

The report of the Board of Insular Com

few days IL was submitted TO the Sec
rotary of War last Thursday and that Off
Ger now has il under inspection.
An enquiry at the War Department this
morning revealed the fact that the code of
laws drafted for the government of Porto
Rico has not been materially changed from
those outlined in the Commissions report
published after its return from Porto Rico.
where it made tour of inspection to be-
come advised as to the most appropriate
new form of government for that country.
The code has been modelled as closely as
possible after the laws which govern
the several States and Territories of the
United States but il will be subject TO the
approval of Congress and the President and
therefore IL cannot be foretold when the
new organic laws for Porto Rico will go
into effect
Chairman Kennedy and other members of
the Insular Commission are still in the city
and have had several conferences with the
Secretary of War on the subject of the new
Porto Rican code.
Secretary Root and the President have
together discussed the new laws, but have
not yet had the opportunity 10 give them a
thorough revision.
1t was said this morning that the Presi-
dent desired 10 go over the subject care
fully with view TO incolpSrst ng Is pro-
visions into his message to Congress,
which promises to be a very interestin 2

ernment for Porto Rico, but also for the
provisional or temporary conduct o, af

and White House SO that Mr.. Nc Kin ey
may have the benefit of their advice IN

gress with the transmission CT the ne Y

the Insular Commission was dissolved on

cause there were no funds with which TO
pay its members is pronounced ridiculous.
both by the Secretary OF War and the
Commissioners themselves. There was no
foundation for such an impression. because
the report was finished upon that date. and
the labors of the Commission practically
ceased when its report was submitted to
the Secretary OF War. There is no inten-
tion, so far as can be learned, to make
an effort for the restoration of the Com
mission, because its work has been finish
ed and there is nothing further TO DO ex-
cept by courtesy TO adviss with those whC
now have the work in hand.
