Project of Local Committee Meets
Approval of Postmaster Gen

SITE IS NEAR UNION STATION.
Assistant Wynne Will Visit st.
Louis This Week to Confer
With Postmaster Baum
hOff Relative Thereto.

Inc plan 10 establish n temporary post
office annex near the Union Station pend
ing the erection of the new structure has
received the approval of Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne. First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne will visit st. Louis this
week TO make a report on the project.
The action of the department is the re-
suit OF a movement started some time ago
by local business men. A joint committee
representing the Business Mems League
and the Merchants League was appointed
and instructed to lay the matter before the
Postmaster General.
The committee, which consisted of n l..
Wh!telaw, E O.. Stanard, William Ii. Ken
nett and Il. T. AMMAN. departed for WASH
1rgton last week. They returned Ia ST.
Louis yesterday, and expressed Themselves
as pleased with the result of their mission.
Mr.. Whitelaw, the representative of the
BUSINESS Mems League, said last night
that the attitude of the tina Cen
erai was very encouraging to him and his
colleagues. ~ "
I'VE visited the department Wednesday

master General Payne. were assured of his
Iheaai,'y cooperation. He agreed with US
the permanent structure planned by the
government would be ready for use.
ahe proposition to rent the building To-
gehth street and Clark avenue from the

submitted and discussed.
postmaster General Payne Informed us

General Wynne called a meeting of the
committee and invited our committee to
appear. and state the proposition. II was
learned THAT TO rent This building would
require no additional congressional legis-
lauon. AZ there is money available from
funds applicable to such purpose. This re-
ments committee adopted our proposition.
conditionally.
Postmaster General wynne will depart
from Washington for st. Louis on Wednes-
DAY and Will inspect the property recon-
mended by the local committee. If his re-
port is favorable. the building will be rent
ticable.
We found that the plans for the perma-
nent building are in the hands of the Treas
its construction has been appropriated.
1T was found, however. that nothing
could be done to hurry the matter and, as
the Government Is always very slow about
such matters. We learned upon good au-
thority that it would require at least two
years to erect the building.
THE building We have in mind as the
temporary annex IS applicable for the pur-
pose in every respect. 1t will connect with
the new subway and will need little change

SUPREME COURT DECLARES
DAKOTA DIVORCE INVALID.
Holds That Six Months Residence in
the State Did Not Constitute
Legal D0micile.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The United States
Supreme Court to-day again passed on the
validity of divorces granted in South Da-
kota to nonresidents. The case was that of
Annie Andrews VS.. Kate H. Andrews, and
the question at issue is as to which
is entitled to administer upon the estate Of
Charles S. Andrews. whom both women
claimed as husband.
TIL record showed that Mrs. Kate An
drews was the first wife. and that her hus-
band secured a divorce in South Dakota
after remaining there six months. the time
required by the statute of that State. The
Massachusetts courts held that the decree
had been fraudulently secured and. refusing
to recognize IT. recognized the first wife as
the legal widow Of the deceased Mr.. An
drews.
That was the holding of the Supreme Ju-
dicial Court of Massachusetts, and to-day's
opinion, which was delivered by Justice
White. affirmed that holding. He said that
Andrews residence in the State of South
Dakota did not constitute legal domicile.
The case arose out of the fact that Mr..
Andrews's father. Charles H.. Andrews. be-
queathed certain property to 1.-The wife of
my son. Chas. S. Andrews" Justices Brew
er, Shiras and eckham dissented.

TRAIN ROBBER RETURNED
TO SERVE OUT SENTENCE.
Notorious Mississippian Who Escaped
From P~enitentiary and Surfen-
dered to Sheriff

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Jackson, Miss. Jan. 1s.-Brooks Storey,
Mississippi's most celebrated convict. re,
turned to the Penitentiary this morning tc
complete his sentence.
Storey escaped from the prison hospital In
Jackson sixteen months ago. He was sup
posed to be hopelessly i'll in the consump-
ton ward, and the guards had relaxed their
vigilance, believing his death was a Ques-
ton Of only a few days. During the night
Storey stole quietly from his sick chamber
and disappeared.
Owing to his feeble condition the prison
officials believed him dead until he reached
the city this morning, accompanied by e
uty Sheriff Wallace Of Attala, to whom he
surrendered at Kosciusko.
Storey states that he spent the greater
portion Of his period Of liberty In the Indian
Territory. Believing, however. that it was
only a question Of time until he was appre-
hended. he decided to return to Mississippi
and complete his prison sentence. The
matter preyed on his mind continually. and
fear of arrest finally brought him back to
the State.
Storey was a train robber and was known
as one Of the most desperate criminals In
the country. His dash and daring, and abb
solute disregard Of his " life. made him
feared throughout the South until finally
he was captured and convicted of the rob-
berry Of an express train near Durant.
While in the Penitentiary Storey was a
never-ending source of trouble. He made
four escapes from the prison. and was al
ways the ringleader in affairs Of this sort.
During the last two years OF his fncarcera-
ton he refused to work. and no form of
persuasion could induce him to perform Ia
Dor.
As a anal snbterfuge he commenced eat
ing soap, which produced a violent form Of
sickness, and deceived the prison physicians
into believing that he was afflicted with
consumption. He grew pale and emaciated.
and the doctors had given up, all hope OF
his recovery when his last escape was
made.
Storey is now enjoying fairly good health
and in many respects appears to be a
changed man.. He promises to give the
Penitentiary officials no more trouble. and
his turbulent spirit seems to be effectually
Quelled. He will be placed on the Rankin
convict farm.
