Sequel-State News.

Terre Haute, Ind, May 21.-Doubt
Is raised by lawyers who represent
Charles W. Hamill ia the divorce pro-
ceedings at Sioux Falls, In which he
was given decree in a cross-com-
plant, by the courts action. The
statement is brought out now that
there is controversy as to whether the
husband or The wife gained a point in
the suit, which has been exceedingly
interesting to Terre Haute's smart set
and also to the general public, which
had more or less information of what
the gossips in the smart set have been
saying for year or more.
Hamill Was Given the Verdict.
The first report sent to the Terre
Haute newspapers was to the effect
that the judge, after hearing the evil
dence, decided that Mrs. Hamill, who
is rich woman, had not proved her
charge of non-support, and that Hamill
had made good his case. Then came
letter from United States Senator Kit
triedge, who is one of Mrs. Hamills
lawyers, in which he said the case
was adjusted without going into court,
by permitting the defendant to take a
decree. which the senator said Mrs
Hamill did not want to do, but that he
persuaded her to do it.
HamiIl Lacked Domicile.
Now comes Hamilrs lawyer with a
letter from C. o. Baily, of Sioux Falls.

eral counsel for the Illinois Central

court, in that the appearance on the
part of the defendant cannot confer
jurisdiction en- the court unless the
court has obtained jurisdiction by

Not Safe for Him to Marry.
81 my opinion, says Baily, at
would not be safe for Hamill to con-
tract new marriage, and if he has a
desire TO marry, l would advise that
he first obtain divorce in Indiana
OF course, Mrs. Hamill, if anything. is

herself in a position in which she is

The signers of the treaty were Secre-
tary of State Zaldo and United States
Minister Sqiiiers, who were eonsti-

purpose. Senior Zaldo and Squiers SIM
ply met, accompanied by their score
taries, and the signing was accom-

changed within a few minutes.
The permanent treaty contains no
provision for it's abrogation, and no
'extraneous conditions of any kind. 1t
simply Incorporates the entire Plat
amendment into the form of a treaty.
The length of time consumed by the
negotiations was principally due to the
fact that the Cuban government de-
sired to include in the treaty various
conditions, especially one to the effect
that there should be no intervention in
Cuban affairs by the United States ex-
cept through the initiative Of the pres
ident of Cuba. All these conditions
were rejected.
