NOTHING WRONG DISCOVERED.
Investigation Of the Accounts Of SEQ

At the offices of the interstate commerce

the investigation into the accounts and rec

the hands Of capable men, who are looking
carefully into all the papers in the ONCE
OF the secretary, in order to learn II any,
thing therein has a bearing on the official
conduct Of the of1ce!
Up to this time the second part has been
held in inviolate secrecy, but from what
can be learned IN an unofficial way there
has been found nothing to warrant any
suspicion against any member of the force
employed in the Office OF the secretary. In
fact, the commissioners themselves,
through MIR. Yeonans, expressed the firm
that would she'd an unpleasant light on the
transactions OF the office, the only reason
for the expert Investigation being the
ruuors that had from time to time come
to the commissioners OF expenditures by
certain employees of sums of money that
were believed to be incommensorate with
the salaries paid them by the government
for their services.
The Commissioners asseyerate that there
has never been the most remote suspicion
of dishonesty of any character attached to
the work of any employe OF the bureau.
1t IL believed that the work OF Expert
Taylor In Mr.. Moseley's office will be
ended by the close of this week, and that q
clean bill Of relief will have been trans
mitted by the controller Of the treasury.

Managers Of Chicago Theaters Will
Fight Closing Order.

CHICAGO, January B.-The Record
Herald todays says: Suits against the city
of Chicago for financial losses caused by the
order which Building Commissioner Will
Jams issued January 1. closing every thea
ter in the city, will be brought by many Of
the managers and owners of plays whose
engagements were booked in Chicago dur
ing the last two weeks. This statement Is
made by men who are In intimate touch
with the local theatrical situation.
Since all Of the managers are non-resi-
dents the cases will be taken before the fed
eral courts. The brief of the plaintiffs will
be based on two documents. one the license
to conduct a place of amusement, costing
$780, and which has in no case been re-
voked by the authorities, and the other the
certificate of inspection by the fire depart
ment. which hangs, framed, near the main
entrances of the down town theaters. and
which states. over the signature of Fire
Marshal Musham, that the house Is ceru-
fed to be safe as to fire protection.

of June 9. 1900. requiring all public lands
within five miles OF the boundary of the

ton for not less than $40 per acre. This

The Court of Appeals. in an opinion writ
ten by Chief Justice Alvey today, reversed
the order Of the court below in the case OF
Amelia Maschauer against George w. Mas
chauer. and remanded the case for further
proceedings not Inconsistent with the opin-

The case went up on a special appeal
from an order of the Supreme Court of the
District, refusing the petitioner the right to
take testimony in support of the allega-
the court was without Jurisdiction to hear
and determine the case presented by the
petitioner, who seeks a divorce from bad
and board from her husband
After citing sections 066 068, $50 and 070
OF the code, the opinion goes to say that
two kinds of divorce are clearly contem-
plated by the code, and that although the
provisions In section 966 are not in all re-
spects happily expressed, 1t Is not difficult
to arrive at the intention of the legislature
from the language employed.
1t cannot be supposed" says the court,
that the term legal separation from bed
and board as employed in the code can
have any application to voluntary deeds of
separation or to divorce a vinculo matri-
monii. as the latter is final decree. but
expresses substantially the same meaning
as the term divorce menba ct thoro.'"
In an opinion also written by Chief Jus
dee Alvey the court also reversed the order
OF the District Supreme Court in the case
of the Original La Tosca Social Club against
La Tosca Social Club. The appellant was
enjoined in the court below from using the
name La Tosca Social Club.
The special appeals yesterday prayed by
Mr.. A. s. Worthington, in the case of Har-
rison J. Barrett and James N. Tyner. indict-
ed in connection with post ONCE investiga-
