Justice Scott Decides Husbands Case Against
Her Not Proved.

Justice Scott IN the Supreme Court yesterday
decided that Mrs Augusta Prescott Ryman had
proved her case in her suit for divorce from her
husband Addison P. Ryman in which she named
Miss Ella F Schofeld her husbands stenographer,
as correspondent The court also decided that Mr.
Ryman had failed to prove that his wife had been
unfaithful at the Manhattan Beach Hotel, where
she was found in a room with H. c. Burdick Miss
Schohed the witness stand testified that she
sped on Mrs. Ryman, who had been her employer
and friend. from sense Of justice" incidentally
she admitted going 10 dinner with Mr.. Ryman
about two hundred times.
The relations between Rynan and this young
woman were altogether too close and the excuse
given for these relations will not hold" said the
court.
1T does not seem possible that woman enjoy
ing the close personal relations, as Miss Schoield
did the plaintiff, could have not only been
traitor, but invited the confidence of her employer
10 betray her, except that she entertained
very warm feeling for Mr.. Rynlan."

JUDGE QUESTIONS
EXCLUSION ACT
Declares Portion of the
Law Unconstitutional.
COULD DEPORT ANY PERSON
Justice Francis Wing, of Ohio District
Court, Says No Person Is
Safe From Arrest.
COULD DEPoRT ANY PERSON

TOLEDO. Ohio. Feb. 27.-Judge Fran
els J. Wing. of the United States dis
trict court, has held that a portion OF
the Chinese exclusion act is unconsti-
tutional
The part which, to his mind. will not
stand the investigation of the Supreme
Court, is that which allows the arrest Of
any person in a community by affidavit
and warrant and then tried without jury
or other protection to which a person
Is entitled. Relative to this. Judge
Wing said today:
This would result in the deportation
to China OF the arrested person. I'm case
he is Chinaman, or the Punishment OF
any other person. AS it now is, there
is nothing to guard against you or my
self from being arrested and being de-
ported, in case II were the personal
within of the judge to so decree
The point of constitutionaiity OF the
law is not raised where the nationality
of Chinaman is proved.
