wEsTERNERs ARE OPTIMISTIC
General Irregularity Incident
to Breaking Up Of Winter,
Southwest Alone Keep
ing Up Its End.

New York, March 25.--Speciai tele-
grams from correspondents Of the
International Mercantile Agency
throughout the United States and Cam
ada chronicle the customary irregu-
Iarity incident to the breaking up Of
winter. The general sentiment among
traders Is less optimistic east than
west, though nowhere. unless It be the
southwest, is the demand or distribu-
tion equal to that Of a year ago. In
the cotton region there In also conf
dence and factories are holding the
staple in expectation Of a revival of
price The most significant feature.
one which has been almost ignored at
the east, Is the gain in demand for
iron. steel and coke within 80 days,
the increased production Of the metals
named, the putting into operation OF
plants which have been idle and symp-
toms Of higher prices for some vari-
eties. These are developments which
must precede q general trade reccv-
cry. Improving railway earnings. the
breaking OF car congestion ard higher
prices for copper furnish additional
reasons for encouragement One Of
Pittsburg's largest mills has sold as
much within three weeks as within
three months preceding, and prospec-
tive demand for structural material
there Is enormous
Trade features at primary 6istrib-
uting centers include heavy request
for building material at Chicago, for
engineering material at Pittsburg and
an increase in most leading lines over
last spring at st. Louis; revival Of
local trade in regions tributary to
Minneapolis st. Paul and Duluth, the
best staple business in years at New
Orleans: satisfaction Of Jobbers att
Baltimore at orders received and abil-l
ity to fill the same; a change from
extra dulIness to moderate activity att
Philadelphia; a dull retail trade in
New England, with Boston's January
and February business about equal to
that Of 1908. but less than In 1902.
New England cotton mills are run
ming about three days a week and
probably win do less by June. After
running out Of old cotton many ex-
pect to shut down altogether. At Phil
adelphia textile mills are running On

Court Justice Gaynor yesterday after
noon al special term Of the supreme
court granted a decree Of separation
TO Mrs. Edith A. Dorr in her suit
against her husband. the Rev. Henry
A. Dorr.
The case had q somewhat abrupt
and sensational ending. counsel for
Dorr virtually throwing up the case
and Justice Gaynor scoring the de-
fendant and some Of his witnesses.
THE conduct OF the defendant has
been outrageous" said Justice Gaynor,
HE has been untruthful in this court
and untruthful to his counsel, and
am sorry TO say that some Of his wit
nesses also have been untruthful"
The defense was complete denial
Of the allegations made by the plain
tiff, whose recital Of her treatment
during her married life was most re-
voting In It's nature.
Justice Gaynor was evidently deeply
annoyed at the apparent effort of
some Of the defendants witnesses TO
shield him.
Among the character" witnesses
were the Rev. George s. Ropes and the
Rev. William Haggar.
Ropes had testified to DORIS good
character. when Lawyer Weinberg
took him In hand and had him admit
that he had Dorr indicted and arrest
ed for b money transaction Of $500.
The witness tried to shield Dorr by
saying the latter had not been con-
victed. but counsel brought out the
fact that Dorr had pleaded guilty.
The Rev. Mr.. Haggar admitted being
the person who wrote the letters TO
Justice Dickey praising Dorr and de-
nouncing his wife. He said he wanted
the facts TO be known.
Il don't think you know much about
the case or the man either" interrupt
ed Justice Gaynor testify. and then.

marked: 81 think you had better get

1t was at this point that Lawyer
Chittenden arose and addressed the
court, saying that he believed that
Dorr had been a victim Of circum-
stances and that he would be called
upon to defend but two charges Of as
sault, but to his amazement the U.s.
sault charges were so numerous as toI
completely stun him. and under the

yer, could not interpose further the
granting Of the decree without stuli-
flying himself.

WATERSHED TOO MUCH TO BUY.
Mayor Thinks the Condition Satisfactory
on the Whole-Nuisance Industry.

Speaking of his inspection of the Croton
watershed on Saturday, Mayor Mcclellan
said yesterday: :
There are many places where nui san ces
are within rea ch of the supply. Under, the
old law the city had power to take such land
and to settle the damage by assessment later
The repeal Of that law put the city In the
same position to water lands that II is in
respect to other land. 1t is necessary TO take
the usual course OF condemnation proceed
ings. 1t almost seems as If the estn blishment
OF nuislnces along the water line has come
to be a recognized industry in Westchester
county. Several persons have been indicted
for maintaining nuisances likely to contami-
nate the water supply but no one has ever
been convicted. 1t Is necessary to buy them
OF through condemnation proceedings.
The watershed includes more than 800
the city to, buy II all The people up there
hold even the stoniest and most unproductive
OF their land at moro than 500 an acre.
The Mayor said that on the whole he
found the watershed in satis!a ;tory con-
ditiop. he expects to make tour OF the
BROOKLYN watershed. The Board o. Est.
mate intends to take up, the Gucst!on OF
an increased water supply as soon as the
budget Is adopted.
