News Notes of Interest From the
City of Mfila.


There have been two advances in the
Riverside tube works within the past
week. Last week the inside laborers
asked for a 10 per cent. raise in their
scale. The company granted it, and
it went into effect on Monday last. The
second advance was granted the ship
ping gang of the same department In
neither case was a strike necessary. In
the latter case the men sent a commit
tee to the management and asked for 9
10 per cent. advance. While they were
absent work was suspended for about
two hours. The committee returned
with the company's agreement to the
advance asked. and work was resumed.
The latter goes into effect on Mon
day.

Therefore, there Is q big fight on in
Cleveland between Senator Hanna and
the railway interests on one side and
on the other Mayor johnson, who de-
clares he will veto the renewal of any
street railway franchise on any but
a three-cent fare basis.
Hanna's interests r powerful, but
the people of Cleveland are solidly back
Of Mayor Johnson.
To our own municipal authorities and
Council we commend the attitude of the
latter official as worthy of emulation.
If street railways can be operated in
Cleveland or Philadelphia, or anywhere
else, with three-cent fares, they can
be operated in Wheeling on that ba-
sis.

THAT DIVORCE DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court
knocking out carpet-bagging South Da-
kota divorces where both husoani and
wife failed to gain a legal residence In
tbe State where the divorce was secured,
lis not retroactive in it's effect.
At first blush it was supposed that
the decision made such divorces and
all subsequent marriages OF such d.
vorced parties invalid per Sc, and
alarm was felt in many quarters and
non many people Of prominence who
feared it would cause a general matri-
monial readjuStment all along the line.
But this is not necessarily the case.
1t is true that divorces granted in
North Dakota or any othertState where
temporary legal residences have been
obtained for the express purpose OF Sc
curing the divorces are illegal, per SO.
This was the principle enumerated by
Justice Gray. A precedent is establish
ed which will operate to nullify any di-
vorce granted in North Dakota or an
other State where a husband or wife
has gone to live temporarily and it Is
subsequently proved that the residence
was for the express purpose of secur-
ing the divorce; provided-and this is
very important-that the divorce is
brought before the United States Su-
preme Court on the constitutional ques-
ton involved.
Each divorce case hereafter brought
before the United States Supreme Court
must stand on it's own merits. 1t will
be decided according to the testimony
offered by the lower courts. The opin-
ion handed down by Justice Gray is not
retroactive per Sc and affects no other
case until that case is specifically
brought before the court. This can
only be done where the courts of one
State refuse to recognize a divorce
granted in another State.
All such cases must come under ar
ticle 4, section 1, of the Constitution Of
the United States: Full faith and
credit shall be given in each State to
the pubic acts, records and judicial pro-
ceedugs of every other State"
By implication and construction, JUS
tice Gray's decision will prevent either
husband OF wife from obtaining a di-
vorce in any State where the couple
have not lived together as man and
wife. The matrimonial domicile can
not be changed by the temporary re-
moval Of either party. The one re-
naming i'm the State where the couple
have lived as man and wife maintains
the matrimonial domicile, and the
other lis regarded as a deserter.
The decision is eminently fair. 1t is
high time a stop was put to the prac-
tice of dissatisfied husbands or wives
going tothe Dakotas and getting DEGREES
of divorce possibly without the knowl-
edge or consent of their abandoned
partners.

struck camp near Dexter. They had
In their possession three mules. two
mares with colts and black horse.
They were followed by the constable

his return came up with Oliver and the
horses and that he was employed by
Oliver for 81 . day to drive the horses
to Dallas, near which place Dixon says
is his home. The opinion of the officer
Is that Dixon's story is true. Oliver
was looked upon as not being straight
and was handcuffed. In the afternoon
Oliver, by deNtrous movement, jerk
ed the guards pistol from the scabbard.
Then he turned and made for thicket
short distance away, and which he
entered. In the meantime the alarm
was given and the citizens OF the town
turned out to help recapture the fee
ing man, who was still wearing shack
les. They came upon him and recap
turcd him without trouble. When re-
arrested Oliver, the constable says, ad-
mitted that they had the right man,
and said that he had stolen the horses
ten miles south Of Chickasha.
