The new liquor law which took eff
feet in England on January lst seems
to be about the most severe legislation
of the kind ever enacted. Any person
found guilty of being intoxicated three
times within year is subject to fine
and imprisonment, his photo is sent to
every liquor dealer and there is a
heavy penalty for selling or giving
him liquor within three years. Habit
ual drunkenness is made a ground for
divorce and other regulations have
been put in force to check the excessive
use of alcoholics The Iowa prohibi.
tion law in its palmie5t day was never
so strict as regards drunkenness as the
new English liquor law

HUSBAND SUES FOR DIVORCE.
Marital Troubles Prompt Mrs.

perate Effort to End
Her1Life.

Desperate over family troubles, Mrs.
Mary l.. Hyatt attempted suicide yesterday
morning at her home. No. $50 Cote Bril-
Mante avenue, by the use OF paris green.
She was saved from self-destruction by
her daughter, Ella. 10 years old, who en-
tered the kitchen in time to dash the poison
from her mothers hands.
The effort Of Mrs Hyatt to commit suicide
was the elimination of trouble between
herself and husband that recently led to a
divorce suit. Samuel f. Hyatt, the husband,
brought the suit. Mrs. Hyatt last Wednes-
day filed cross-charges OF a sensational
nature.
In the cross-bill filed by Mrs. Hyatt. she
states that her husband was addicted to
drink. and on one occasion came home In
eoxicated while two Of his children were
dead in the house. The bill further states
that the husband in his maudlin condition
lay down by the side Of the dead children
and slept of his drunkenness.
Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock. while
other members OF the family were in the
front of the house. Mrs. Hyatt prepared a
dose Of paris green. and was about to

the room.

house, came to the girls assistance and
succeeded in pacifying Mrs. Hyatt, who
wal in an excited and hysterical condition.

The specific charge that she had refused

one of the clauses in the petition. 1t was
generally believed In the neighborhood that
the husband and wife had adjusted their
differences within the past few days, and
the effort OF Mrs. Hyatt to take her wi

Washington, May 30.-Ffve battleships a
year is the dictum of President Roosevelt's
naval policy. This means naval expansion.
which will make the fleet adequate to the
needs OF the natioa within the next few
years.
Secretary Moody Of the navy In a speech
at Salt Lake City yesterday, said that he
would name a battleshio in honor of the
State of Utah, IL Congress gives him I'VE
ships of this type at the next session.
Five battleships-the Kansas. Vermont.
Mississippi. Idaho and Minnesota-were an
propriated for only a few hours before the
Fffty-seventh Congress adjourned.
Secretary Moody's speech is taken as an
administration declaration that he will
recommend, and President Roosevelt viii
urge. Congress to appropriate for as many
more battleships. armored cruisers, and
necessary auxiliaries in the first session Of
the Fffty-eighth Congress, while the second
session will be expected to pursue the work
Of up-building the navy with undiminished
energy.
The minority Of the last Congress was In
part stimulated by the popular feeling
aroused over the Venezuelan episode and
the nearness of this Government to inter-
national trouble at that time, which was
taken as a recognition By Congress. and
especially by the chairmen Of the Nava!
committees OF, the fact that the United
States navy at the present time Is not
strong enough to cope against possible for
eign aggression.

might have been more pronounced had the
strength Of the United States on sea been
more nearly equal to that of the allied
Powers. whose course in Venezuela was at

In connection with the appropriation for
battleships last year. there was a spirited
fight over tonnage, which resulted In three
1900 and two 1900 ton ships being author
lied. The advocates Of reversion to small
er types were beaten. There has yet besn
no Indication as to whether the fight for
reversion to smaller units win be reopcnsd

Local Managers Decide Adversely
to Extending Invitation for
Annual Convention.
UNABLE TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS.
Declare 1t Will Be Difficult to
Care for Visitors Because of
Crowded Condition of All
Hotels at That Time.

At a meeting of st. Louis hotel managers
at the Planters Hotel yesterday afternoon
1t was decided not to invite the Hotel
Mems Mutual Benefit Association to hold
Its nnua convention here next year.
Reasons given for this action by the
managers were that the rush Of business
and great crowds expected in this city dur
ing the Worlds Fair would prevent local
members devoting their time and attention
to entertaining the visitors.
Previous conventions of the association.
which includes many of the most promi-
nent hotel men of the country. lave been
the occasion for throwing open everything
and displaying lavish hospitality to the
visiting delegates. Visiting members are
the guests of local members Of the organi-
cation.
With the st. Louis hostelries filed to
their utmost capacity with Worlds Fair
guests, 1t would be difficult to take care of
the visiting hotel men in a proper manner
Then the local hotel men would find 1t hard
to spare sufficient time from their increased
business duties to carry out any very
elaborate programme of entertainment
The meeting was called by John Mueller
Of the Daily Hotel Reporter for the pur-
pose of extending an invitation to the Hotel
Mems Mutual Benefit Association to meet
here next year. Mr.. Mueller had several
letters from business organizations and the
Exposition Company indorsing the invita-
ton. These letters were presented to the
meeting.

czar's Fleet Has Left Port Arthur-Des-
tlnatiOn Is Unknown, but Several
Ships are Probably Cruising OF the
Coast Of cOrea-Japanese Fleet Has
Returned to Japan.

Pekin, Oct. 2l.--Like other cities in
the far east, Pekin Is perplexed by the
reports from the various points of
events portending Russo-Japaness
war. Most Of theae reports on investi-
CATION prove to be unfounded. The
opinion prevails here that Russia pro-
poses TO hold all she has gained in
Manchuria, and refrain for the present
from further advances into Corea. 1t
is also believed that Russia is convinced
that no nation, except Japan, thinks of
contesting her position, and, having
assembled feet and army which she
considers strong enough to repel any
Japanese attack, she is awaiting devel-
opments in Japan's policy.
The majority of the Russian ships
have left Port Arthur since the man.
euvers for an unknown destination, but
it is supposed that some of them are
cruising on the shores of Corea, watch
ing Ma-San-Pho and other ports.
The japanese ships whose presence
at Ma-San-Pho caused the report that
Japan had occupied that port have
sailed, probably in thei direction OF
Saseho, Japan.
