MAY GET THEIR PAY.
NORTH DAKOTA VOLUNTEERS
MAY GET TWO WEEKS PAY.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Hansbrough has been investigating
claims of enlisted men who served in
q North Dakota regiment during the
Spanish war for pay from the state for
the time they were in the service OF
the state, just prior to their muster
into the United States service. His
investigation shows that the states
claim for expenditures, which has been
settled by the treasury department,
included claim for payment to the
officers for the time named, but not for
enlisted men. There were nearly 600
men in the state who served the state
for from one to two weeks who re-
ceived no pay therefor, and Senator
Hansbrough thinks that if the officers
were paid for that time, the enlisted
men should be entitled to their small
share. The treasury department has
not volunteered any advice on the SUBJ
ject, but the intimation has been given
that if such claim is presented by the
state it will be considered and prob
ably allowed.

Pittsburg, April 1.-THE meeting

board of the Amalgamated Association
OF Iron, Steel and Tin Workers for the
purpose of considering the advisable
ity of declaring a general strike among
the mills operated by the United

N. d. DIVORCES.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
! STATES GIVES THEM A BLACK


OUfTtENWE COUftl OE lEiE UNIFIED
STATES GIVES THEM A BLACK
EYE.
Washington, D. c., April 1.-THE
United States supreme court has
handed down a decision declaring in
valid all divorces in which either hus-
band Or wife has gained legal resi-
dence in one state, while the other re-
tanned the original matrimonial resi-
dence in another state. Divorces OBJ
tanned in North or South Dakota, tc
be legal, must have been secured
through the husband and wife both
acquiring legal and matrimonial res
idence in the state where the decree
was granted. ="
The decision, which was handed
down by Justice Gray dwells on the
point that a divorce to be valid must
be secured where the married parties
have their matrimon onial residence. A
decree granted in North Dakota is
"AIiouL 1clCA vi ClSu1I Ill Tie Stdle
where the matrimonial residence ex-
lists. The opinion does not touch the
point as to whether such a decree is
valid in other states than the one in
which the matrimonial residence ex-
lists, but by inference it is not.
According to the judgment rendered
today, if a husband and wife both go
to North or South Dakota. or any
other state, and acquire legal resi-
dence they thereby gain matrimonial
residence and the divorce consequently
becomes valid. But if either party
goes alone and secures the decree that
Vitiates the divorce.
The case of August Streitwolf
against Elizabeth Sreitwolf, coming
tc the supreme court on a writ of er-
rors and appeals in the last resort in
all causes in the state of New Jersey,
was the case in which interest chiefly
centered, as it involved the validity
OF Dakota divorces. The New Jersey
higher and lower courts held divorce
granted in North Dakota to be invalid
The United States supreme court
affirmed these opinions.
A Washington case illustrates the
general Importance of this sweeping
| decision. Last week it was announced
that James G. Blaine, son of the fam.
GUS Maine statesman, was to marry
the daughter of Rear Admiral Hich.

Alameda county Jail; California, where
he is serving years sentence for con-
tempt of the United States circuit

McKenzie's health has not been
good since he returned from Nome last
fall, and on several occasions he ap-
peared in court against the advice of
his physicians, who told him he was
endangering his life by such exertion.
After the contempt cases had been
decided against him he bore up under
the belief that the United States su-
preme court would release him. I'M
mediately following the decision of
that court that it could not act in the
matter McKenzie's nerve gave way
and he took to his bed, where he has
steadily been growing weaker His
physician now says that his condition
is most serious, and believes that he
will not live to finish the sentence, as
the confinement appears to have
robbed him Of all his energy.

upon by the court which had inflicted
the penalty. The petition is signed
by many United States senators and
congressman and by several judges of

quainted with Mckenzie and who
express the opinion that from their

been the victim of circumstances over
which he had no control He was
between two fires, and could not have
done otherwise than what was done.
He was an officer of the United States
district court of Alaska and was under
heavy bonds. He was ordered by the
Alaskan court to turn the money over
to the United States marshal, and did
so, and had no power to obey the or
der of the court Nof appeals. He fol-
lowed the orders Of the Alaska court
and the advice of his attorneys, and
feels that his punishment is unduly
hard and unmerited. Mckenzie is
suffering from intestinal troubles
brought on by the hardships endured
lin Alaska, and since his confinement
in the Alameda county Jail he has lost
about 20 pounds in weight, " .s..g r.

engineer was communicated and it was
confirmed after the same procedure by
the same vote.

chief of police. His nomination was
confirmed by the same vote
~s. Mayor Register then designated AL
,dermen smyth, Lovin, Jackson and

health and nominated DR.. E. P. Quain
as city health officer. The mayor
stated that he hoped this nomination
would be confirmed at once as it. was
urgent that the board of health and
health officer get, to work at once, un-
der the health conditions in the city.
The city, he believed, was paying an
jexorbitant rate for the services Of Dr.
Bentley: He had nothing against Dr..
Bentley, but he believed the city bus
mess should be run as the aldermen
would transact thir own business. I'm
mediate steps should be taken toward
stamping out small pox in the city.
He believed considerable reduction
could be made in the expense.
Mr.. Slattery wanted to know what
would be the difference in the price.
He thought also people suffering from
disease should have their choice of
doctors. He was assured that any
doctors desired could be employed by
individuals, but the city health officer
would have to act as sanitary and
quarantine officer.
The appointment of DR.. Quain was
confirmed. 1t was urged that the
compensation ought to be fixed. but
the matter finally went over until the
health board should meet with the
health officer and report to the counr
