ASKS DIVORCE
BE SET ASIDE
Mrs. Snyder Accuses Husband of
Securing Fraudulent One.
SHE WAS in DENVER ON VISIT
UPON HER RETURN SHE bad NO
HUBBY OR HOME.

A HOME and a husband was the
n price that Mrs. Lois A. Snyder
says she paid for an extended trip
to Denver. She now declares that the
bargain was a cheat and a fraud, and
began proceedings in the district court
yesterday to annul the decree Of di-
vorce which her husband, Grant C.
Snyder, secured without her knowledge
during her absence
Eleven years ago they were married
in Denver, but have lived in this city
for several years. She made a trip to
her old home, and when she came back
discovered that she was all alone in
the wide, wide world: that she had nei-
Their home nor husband It was some
thing of a surprise, she declares, but
she proposes to get even by having the
court annul the decree of divorce be-
cause of fraudulent representations
which her husband made during the
trial.
Jan 1, 1901, Mr.. Snyder filed a suit for
divorce, alleging desertion and aban-
donment on the part of his wife, and
a decree was granted on April IS, 1901.
In the trial the husband is said to have
stated that he had not heard from his
wife nor known of her whereabouts for
a number of years. He made other
anu CIldA GCo WA41Cns StkC
in her complaint, are untrue and false,
| and were made with the intent of de-
ceiving the court solely to obtain a di-
Yorce.
Wife Charges Fraud.
Mrs. Snyder further alleges that dur
/ ing her absence in Denver she received
no summons or notice of any kind that
| the suit was started, and claims that
| her husband always knew her address
and location in that city. All the evil
dence and testimony in the trial, she
says was untrue and false, and was
given solely for the purpose of deceiv-
| ing the court and securing a divorce.
| Information has reached Mrs. Snyder
| that her husband has in his possession
| s., 000 and she fears that he will en-
| cumber or dispose of the money, and
| she prays the court to issue a restrain
! ing order pending the settlement of the
action. She prays that the decree OF
| divorce to her husband be revoked and
| that her side of the case, in which she
| accuses him of desertion, may be
| heard.

RICE WILL OF 1896
IS To Be PRODATED.
So Called Patrick Will IL Declared
by Surrogate Fitzgerald to
BE a Forgery.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. June B.-Surrogate Fitzgerald
this evening put an end to the controversy
over the probate OF the two wills of VIII
liam Marsh Rice by rejecting the so-called
will Of June Is. 1900 commonly referred to
as the Patrick will. on the ground that
there was proof to sustain it. and also
because the signatures to 1t were fcrgeries,
and by admitting to probabte the will exc
cuted on September &c. 1896. This ends, so
far as the lower courts are concerned, a
fight over millions. which has engaged the
attention of the courts since the death OF
Mr.. Rice. which resulted in the conviction
Of Albert T. Patrick for murder.
Although at the time OF the death of Mr..
Rice 1t was said his fortune amounted to
between 100000 and $4,000, 900, an sp-
praisement has shown an estate of about
A5O0,000. Of which less than s., 900 is In
the hands of the temporary administrator
and about 81, 5000 in Texas and elsewhere.
Since the litigation was started the heirs
came to understanding with the VIII
liam NJ. Rice Institute Of Houston, Tex, by
which they will receive about s350000 in ad
dition to the provision made for them in
the will of 1896.
Within a day or two the formal DEGREES
will be signed and another question will
then arise as to whether any attempt will
be made to interfere with the removal OF
large portion of the estate from this city
to Texas for the purpose of being admins
tered upon by the Texas administrator.

MAY Be ERRORS IN e.
RECORDS OF DEATHS.
Census Bureau Questions Accuracy
of Health Department Statistics
and Asks for Investigation.

Reports furnished the Census Bureau. and
rendered by the bureau to the Health De-
partment, indicate that about 240 deaths
that occurred in this city were not recorded
in the mortuary register of the Health De-
partment- The apparent discrepancies will
be investigated.
ChaEes ". Francis, Assistant Health
Commissioner. will delegate clerk to COM
pare the census reports with the official
records of the Health Department, in order
to verify or disprove alleged omissions. The
investigation will be started to-day.
The census reports were not delivered to
the local officials without the imposition of
many conditions. The officials had to agree
that no information contained In the Fed
eral reports would be used in any way
against any person whose name appears in
them
The reports set forth the names of de-
cedsnts. the places of death. the residence
addresses. ages, places of birth, periods of
illnesses and causes of deaths. as we'll as
the names OF attending physicians and the
cemeteries in which the bodies were buried.
Mr.. Francis doubts that errors or omis-
sions will be found. He is inclined to be-
Heve that the comparison will show that
all deaths were properly recorded II Is
possible that some deaths stated in the
census reports did not occur inside the city
limits.
The birth records Of the Health Depart
ment wero very incomplete last year. The
official figures showed that the deaths ex-
ceeded the births. whereas a duplicate
check maintained showed that the deaths
were several hundred less than the births,
that there is negligence in
births.

PROTESTS AGAINST SALOONS.
Excise Commissioner Seibert Con,
ducts Hearing.

Remonstranees against the Issuance OF
new saloon licenses to Davey Brothers OF
No. 53S South Ewing avenue and Thomas
Melicum of No. S32 South Garrison avenue
were heard yesterday morning by Excise
Commissioner Seibert. At the close of the
hearing he instructed the attorneys In the
cases to file briefs within ten days, SO that
he may render a verdict.
The st. 1ialachy's Pure Home Associa-
tion protested some time ago against these
saloons, charging that they have not at all
times been conducted as they should be.
The complaints were brought to Mr.. Sci
berts attention officially, and he decided on
a hearing yesterday. Attorneys Charles J.
Fox and Peter F. Barrett represented the
association and Attorney Marion c. Early
the saloon-keepers.
The contention was raised that signatures
of property owners on the applications for
new licenses were not genuine. Miss Annie
e. WoodloCk of No. 421 South Ewing ave-
nue. testified that she had not signed a
petition. Mrs. Bridget Geeke. of No. 514
South Ewing avenue testified that she had
not signed petition nor authorized any one
to do so. Other property owners, who were
not put the stand, also object to the
saloons.
The Office was crowded with spectators.
Some Of them expressed displeasure at some
questions asked by the Comm ssioner they
thinking he was disposed to favor the ap
plicants. 1t was said, however. that Mr..
Seihert Is not biased and will base his de-
cision on facts and arguments set forth in
the briefs.
Up to date about 800 new licenses have
been issued to saIoonkeepers. All old IL
censes expire July 2, and the new licenses
become effective next day. There are about
1900 saloons in st. Louis.

KRATz And lehman
ARE MEMBERS STILL.
Merchants League Club Has Not
Suspended Them, but Will
Investigate Charges.

Charles Kratz, the fugitive Councilman
and Julius Lehman. who was recently con-
victed OF perjury. are still members in good
standing Of the Merchants League Club.
Although charges were preferred against
the men last night at a meeting of the or
gan:zation. they were not suspended, but
will be considered members until commit
tee investigates the charges.
Notice of the action of the club has been
sent TO Kratz and Lehman and should they
not respond the fact will not be considered
against them IN the investigation. The
charges were preferred by Don c. Summers
and seconded by Jeptha D. Howe. In the
resolution Mr.. Summers requested President
Flory to appoint commission of three
members to inquire into the truth of the
report that Kratz has been indicted for
bribery and Lehman tried and convicted
of perjury.
President F1ory, who presided, appointed
W. H Blake. Z. A. McBurney and Michael
Lang to investigate the charges thoroughly
and report their findings at the next regu-
lar meeting. II the report is found true the
men will be expelled. Until this IS done
they are to be considered members in good
standing.
Before their expulsion. if the commission
finds against them, the judgment will have
to be affirmed by two-thirds vote of the
members present. The clup, too, ACCORDING
to the bylaws, may reverse the decision Of
the commissioners II 1t so desires.
Much interest in the matter is manifested
by the members OF the club. as, they say,
this will be the first trial Of the kind
brought before the notice of the organiza-
ton since It's formation. and 1t Is expected
q precedent will be set for other cases of
the same character that may follow.

asking that his baggage be detained. He
also wired to John Lyons, No. 2O4 Dear born
