INVALIDITY OF DIEDDR!R
The Value Of a Decree in a State 0TI!sr
Than That Where Granted.
DECISIONS OF SUPREME COURT

rhe General Principle of Matrimonial
Domiclle is Sustained-When Parties
Are Legal Residents of the State. the
Decree is oood Everywhere - other
wise It is Not.
Washington, D. C. - The United
States Supreme Court has decided q
number Of cases involving the validity
in one State of divorce DEGREES granted
in other States. The Court held prac-
tically that in cases in which the de-
cree is granted in States where the
husband and wife have made their le-
gal residence it is valid in any part Of
the United States, but that in other
cases in which there is no legal resi-
dence in the State in which the decree
is granted they are invalid. The opin-
ions were handed down by Justice
Gray. and involved the cases of Ather-
ton vs.. Atherton. Bell VS.. Bell and
Streilwolf VS.. Streilwolf.
In the Atherton case the husband OBJ
tanned decree Of divorce in the State
Of Kentucky, where the parties had
resided as husband and wife, after the
wife had left the husband and gone to
the home of her parents. in Clinton.
N. Y. In his opinion Justice Gray
called attention to and laid stress upon
the fact that Kentucky was the place
Of their marital residence, and he also
brought out the fact that notice of the
husbands petition for divorce had been
forwarded to New York, and that the
wife had made no response. The Ken
lucky court thereupon had granted the
decree.
The question involved was. he said,
whether the decree was valid In New
York, the question having been raised
by q counter proceeding Of the wife
for divorce in New York. He con-
cluded that owing to the fact of her
former residence in Kentucky. and the
further fact that due notice had been
given her, Mrs. Atherton was as much
bound by the Kentucky decree as If
she had been present in the court
when 1t was granted. Hence the de-
cision of the New York Supreme Court
in favor of the wife, and against the
validity of the Kentucky decree was
reversed.
The other two cases also came from
New York. In the Bell case the ques-
ton of the validity Of decree granted
to the husband in Pennsylvania was
raised, and in the Streilwolf case the
same question was at issue concerning
q decree granted TO the husband in
North Dakota. In both these cases
the DEGREES were held to be invalid be-
cause neither the husband nor the wife
had domicile in the State in which the
divorce was granted. Wherefore"
said Justice Gray. "the DEGREES are not
entitled to credit" In those cases the
findings of the New York courts were
affirmed.
In the Atherton case Justice Peck
ham dissented upon the ground that
the husband himself had been respon'
sible for the wife's change of residence.

APATHY OF NAVAL MILITIA.
No Ship For the Annual Exercises to Bt
Furnished This Year.

No Ship For the Annual Exercises to Be
Furnished This Year.
Washington, D. C.-The decline OF
the State naval militia and the lack
of interest shown by those organiza-
tions in the assistance the Navy De-
partment has offered them is keenly
felt by naval officials, who see no hope
for the practical usefulness of these
bodies of men to the Government un.
less there are closer relations between
them and the navy and some co-opera-
ton in the annual summer exercises.
The National Government contributes
over S5O0,0OO in support Of the organi-
cations. Most Of the States have shown
little interest in the work.
Let year the Navy Department ue-
tailed a specially equipped vessel Tor
the exclusive training of the naval NIL
ftia, and provided that every orsanl-
zation should have at least one weeks
active duty on board at sea, during
which practical instruction was given
by naval officers in all the duties re-
1uired of sailors and officers on reguia"
seagoing warships. But few OF the
organizations took advantage OF the
Governments offer. This year the
Navy Department will provide no snip.
and the organization must do as pest
they can for summer cruises.

ACCUSED OF KILLING A CHILD.
Servant Testifies Against trre Stepmothes
Now Under Arrest.

Mount Holly, n. J. - Mrs. MaDel
Haines, Of Delanco, was arralgned on
a charge of having murdered her step
daughter, Gwendolin- in Delanco. Mrs.
Haincs ever since her arrest has main
tanned the charge against her is false.
The body Of the child was cut and
bruised, and it was alleged by Mrs.
Haines that the child was subject to
fits, and might have injured herself!
The father of the child alleges that It's
death was accidental.
The testimony taken was to snow
that Mrs. Haines had beaten the child
twice a day during several months,
and, according to the physicians VINO
performed the autopsy. this was the
cause Of death. A woman employed
BY Mrs. Haines said that once she
heard Mrs. Haines eXclaim: My no"
hard it is to kill that brat"
It was further testified by the physl..
clans that Gwendolin's body contained
seven and a half ounces Of arsenic'
more than enough to kill. Mrs.
Haines was committed to wait the ac'
ton Of the Grand Jury.

BANNER YEAR FOR TRADE
Commerce of the United States is
Beating All Records.
Trade Balance in Favor Of America May
Amount to s7oo, 900, 900 in Fiscal
Year Drawing to Its Close.

Washington. y. Cat the close or
the last fiscal year persons who were
interested in and who understand the
significance of figures showing large
imports and exports were amazed to
find that the commerce of the United
States had amounted to the prodigtous
total of 1924, ,424, ,266. and that the ex-
cess of exports over imports was
nearly S545, 100000. or only slightly
below the excess of exports shown IN
1898, when they ran to nearly S6l6,-
100000. The report for the fiscal year
drawing to a close promises to beat
the totals of either Of the recent great
wears. and the excess Of exports WILL
it is expected, reach quite S1OO,OO0'Ooo.
With the figures of March now ac-
cessible, it is seen that the exports for
nine months reached $1,14O,17O,I2S
In the same time the imports were
$500, ,4S3.391. The balance in favor OF
the United States for the nine months
is therefore $540,6S7, ,337, or within
S5,OO0,000 of the excess of the Whole
expectation Of the last year. The bal
ance for last year. at the end of the
nine months period, was less by Sl2S,'
S32671.
This showing is brought about by an
increase in exports of SS6,54O, ,O32 and a
decrease in imports Of $40, 292, ,639. The
indications are that trade will continue
to maintain the figures for the pre-
ceding nine months, and that the total
of exports and imports will reach to
more than S2,300,000,000. with a bal
ance possibly $100,000,000 in excess Of
the hitherto banner balance year OF
1898. -'sf@.'
The figures showing the exports of
leading products, as given by recent
Treasury statement, reveal tendency
to increased expectation, except IN
mineral oils. OF breadstuffs, there
were exported nearly $5,0O0,0OO more
in the nine months than In the pre-
ceding year; there was an Increase IN
exports of cattle and hogs Of about
$5,600,O00; the exports Of provisions
increased SS,5OO,0O0, the increase In
value of cotton exports was $50, 100000
over the nine months ended March 81
of last year. and there was slight
falling off in the expectation of min
eral oils.
If there is q decline shown in the
exports of manufactured goods. 1t will
be accounted for in part by the ruin
of the cotton exports to China, and by
the loss of exports to Hawaii, which
Is no longer foreign country In the
estimation of the authorities.
