COURT PASSES
ON DIVORCE

Washington, Jan. 20.-The United
States supreme court yesterday again
passed upon the validity of divorces
granted in South Dakota to non-resi-
dents. The case was that of Annre
Andrews VS.. Kate H. Andrews, and
the question at issue is that as IT,
which is entitled to administrate up
on the estate of Charles S. Andrews.
whom both claimed as a husband. Mrs.
Kate Andrews was the first wife and
her husband secured a divorce from
her in South Dakota after remaining
there six months. The Massachuse tts
courts held that the decree had been
fraudulently secured, and recognized
the first wife as a legal widow. Yes
1erday's opinion has affirmed that
holding. Yesterdays decision also
holds that the federal constitution is
not involved in the question. that the
general government never had a pow
er over marriages to a delegate; that
the control over marriages has always
been vested in the states Congress
has no power to regulate or prohibit
divorces and that unless the states
are permitted to control divorces
among their own citizens the subject
would he entirely uncontrolled, in
which case absolute destruction to So
ciety must be the result. Mr. An
drews had been told that the mass
courts of the state had jurisdiction
and not the courts of another state 1t
was evident Andrews six months
residence in South Dakota has been
taken up for the sole purpose Of resi-
dence did not amount to a oc1nicile
nor to a change of citizenship For
this reason it is held that the south
Dakota court was without jurisdiction
in divorce proceedings and its decree
wholly void Nor did it matter if

INVENTION OF YOUNG HEWITT,
Son of Ex-Mayor Constructs Re
markabIe Electric Converter.

narkabIe Electric Converter.
New York, Jan. 20.-An important
electrical apparatus, the invention of
Peter Cooper Hewitt, son OF Abram S.
Hewitt, is attracting the attention of
scientific men. The apparatus, an en-
tirely new class of converter for the
transformation of alternating into di-
rect current and vice versa, is fully
described in a recent issue Of the
Electrical World and Engineer All
the current now used in the large
cities for light and traction, as we'll as
for long-distance railway work, is ma
nipulated in this manner, being gen.
Grated alternating" and transformed
into direct for use.
The possible application of Mr..
Hewitt's method is suggested by the
fact that what now requires heavy ma
chinery weighing some 700 pounds for
a specific amount of current, he &C.
complishes with simple piece of ap-
paratus weighing at most two Oh
three pounds, operating a very high
efficiency. Discussing Mr.. Hewitt's in.
vention, the Electrical World says:
''The extraordinary feature of the in
vention is the simplicity and inexpen-
siveness of the apparatus. When to
this is added a high efficiency, we ap-
pear to be brought face to face with
an invention likely to have a reyoIu-
tiOnary effect on some branches of
electrical application. An immediate
practical application is in storage bat
terry charging, the fluctuating current
here having a decided advantage"
