Mr. O'suIIivan told the Corporation Counsel that

1T is customary for the Law Department to
show a courtesy of this kind when the counsel
asks if said Mr. Rives to Tribune reporter
Tbis extension necessarily will delay matters until
the October term.
The action of Mr.. O'Sullivan yesterday is. re-

WIFE CAN'T SUE HUSBANDS CHARMER

Trenton. June S.-The Supreme Court decided
yesterday that married woman in New-Jersey
cannot maintain an action at law for the aliena-
ton Of her husbands affections and the resulting
loss Of his society, comfort. aid and support. The
decision led TO dismissal of the suit instituted
in Hudson County. by Mrs Alpine Hodge against
Lena WetZler.
Justice Hendrickson, who wrote the opinion,
says it is the first time such question has ever
been adjudicated in New-Jersey. While the right
of husband to bring such an action has existed
since an English decision 1S47 the court says
no such right exists at common law on the part
of a married woman, is il, conferred by the
married womans act Of this State Justice Hen
Erickson remarks that in some Jurisdictions the
denial OF this right of action to; the wife has
been characterized by the judges as an unjust
discrimination, while in others such CLASS OF
actions have been regarded of doubtful expe-
dency.
But We think" adds the justice, that these
and similar considerations are for the legisatur
rather than for the courts. and that it Is duty
IL possible 20 declare the law IL is, and not as
We may think IL ought TO be.

WORK TO PROTECT SAILORS.
One Man Indicted on Charge of Accepting
a Shipping Fee.

Moritz Hansen indicted last week by the
grand jury in the United States District Court FOR
the Eastern District, complaint of the Legal Aid
Society on the charge OF accepting a shipping fee
from sailors for whom he had obtained positions
This fee corresponds to the employment agency fee
paid on land by employees of various kinds but the
United States statutes distinctly disallow any per-
son to charge a seaman such q fee. Hansen has
pleaded not guilty and the case has been set down
FOR trial This taking shipping fees is Of the
many forms of crimping from which sailors suffer
and il is said that the Legal Aid Society's pre-
vious efforts have had much to do with reducing
this business from its former size and in order 10
prevent its spread again they have taken this ag-
gressiVe action.
Within a short time the Protestant Episcopal
Church Missionary Society will have on the waters
of the bay q launch devoted to the use OF seamen.
1t will attempt TO prevent other methods OF crtmp-
ing than the above named. 1t will fight against
the illegal boarding of vessels by boardinghouse
keepers who get possession of the men in this way
before the ships dOcked. There will be on
board besides the chaplain of the Church Mission
airy Society a representative OF the Legal Aid
Society who will be ready to give legal assistance
