ferent to the welfare Of the people are, OF
course. without the slightest foundation in

One single fact that retutes these charges is
the opening to-day OF a large asylum for the
destitute orphans OF Cuban soldiers. The
building. formerly used as the civil hospital.
has been turned into an orphanage. 1t has
been thoroughly renovated. disinfected and
refurnished. 1t will ultimately have a capacity

Additions have been made to the military

on the PrcteIt That His Wife Was to
Get n Divorce, Arrested for Abandon
ment- Magistrate Kramer's Comm nts.
Magistrate Kramer In the Gates avenue
police court, brooklyn. yesterday heard testi-
mony in an abandonmen case in which the
defendant was a young Canadian farmer who
apparently had been decoyed here to be ar
rested and served with papers In . divorce case
after his wife had left him In Canada to return
to her foster parents. The magistrate also
heard the uifes lawyer tell OF the inducements
he unaVaillnGly held out to the defendant to
give his wife ground on which to sue
for divorce. Tho prisoner was William
A. Douglass. % years old. Of Ontario
His wife gave her maiden name. Hattie May.
She 10 I years old. a teacher OF music. rather
pretty. and she i'm pressed the courtroom spsc-
tators as being more actively Intelligent than
her farmer husband. Her parents died when
she was years old and she was placed In
the Knowlton Home la Hawkosbury. Ont.
There she was found by Mrs. McNamee. who
brought hor to live at 42l Hart street. Doug
lass and Mrs. McNanee are related. and in
Canada the girl and no became friends. They
corresponded and last April Douglass came on
and they were married.
Douglass took his girl wife to the farm OF his
parents. He had always live d at homo. always
worked without wages. and had no idea how
he could get along in the world II he left his
fathers farm. Tho bride says she was made to
weed the garden. dig potatoes and do chores
about the place as well as her share OF the
Homework. When she rebeled her mother
in-law slapped her face. The girl was too
high. spirited to stand that sort OF thing and so
ahe lett Her podding husband said he
could t 20 with her. He advised Hattie to 60
back to her fosier-mother
!, Then Hattie determined to get divorce. but
Douglass They still correspondent and in her
letters Hattie urged Douglass to visit her.
Lawyer VI. Harris. counsel for Mrs. Doug
lass, sent 80 to Douglass and he came to New
York three days ago. He was arrested on
Wednesday and locked up on the charge OF
abandonment, although he imagined he had
been brought on in order to secure a separa-
tion or divorce.
Magistrate Kramer said that this was. the
most remarkable testimo ny ever offered In his
court; The arrest OF Douglass after he had
been Induced to come here was ticklish busi-
ness and might give rise to international COM
nlications, 1t was alleged. he said. that Doug
lass was . bout to leave the jurisdiction OF tine
court and that his wife would probably be-
come a charge on the county. and on those
Erounds he had issued the warrant Decision
was reserved and Douglass was held in $500
bail. which was furnished. As he left the court

DIES MONIES. Ia. Oct. 26.-The Supreme
Court rendered decision to-day which In ef-
feet compels all Iowa insurance companies to
pay double taxes. The State law requires them
to pay per cent. OF their gross premiums as a
State tax which the law provides shall be In
full Of all taxes. State and local. against such
corporations. except taxes on real estate and
special assessments" Last year the city as
SCISSOR took the ground that the insurance. ex-
press telegraph and telephone companies
should pay local taxes on their stock and per-
sonal property the same other corporations.
The insurance companies ressted tho levy on
the ground Of being exempt by the payment OF
the state tax. The lower court held the exemp-
conflict with this provision OF the state Consti-
tuition: THE property OF all corporations for
pecuniary profit shall be subject to taxation
the same as that OF Individuals"
The law 10 held to be unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court because 1t frees these corpora
tions from the payment OF road. city. school

Commissioner Goddard Of the Trunk Line
Association said yesterday that the moveme ont
to advance eastbound freight rates was By no
means 30 sweeping rs published reports in
dicated. As he understood. the grain rate had
been fixed at basis Of % cents. which was an
advance from 20. Five years ago the rate was
20. The movement looked toward a gradual
advance to the rates formerly prevailing. It
would be gradual because tho shippers would
not stand radical advances. The railroads
think that they should get their share OF tho
general business prosperity. There is to be no
advance OF a general character at present, out
side OF grain and grain products. but some
special limos OF freight will be advanced to a
point corresponding to that reached about ten
years ago,
A meeting OF trunk line passenger repre-
sentatives was held at the Trunk Line Assoc
citation rooms yesterday Commissioner Farm
or said 1t was held to straighten out some
way OF adjustment. The intention was to
maintain passenger rates. not to advance
them In general such rates. Commissioner
Farmer said. were being very we'll maintained
Tho announcement OF n meeting OF freight Of
hcials OF tho trunk lines to be held in this
city to-day to take action on westbound freight
rates was at least premature.
