A HARD BLOW FOR
ALICE WEBB-DUKE
Her Application for Ali
mony Denied.
A NOTORIOUS WOMAN
Thus the Judge Characterizes Her
Declaring that She Has Continued
Her Immoralities Since Marriage,
and that Dukes Suit for Di-
V0rCe will be Won.
Especial to News and Observer.


New York, August 2.-Justice
Giegerich, in the Supreme Court to-
day denied the application of Mrs.
Alice Webb-Duke for alimony pending
the trial of the action for divorce,
brought against her by her husband,
BrOdie L. Duke. of Durham, n. c., to
whom she was married in December
1T is a significant fact said JUS
tice Giegerich, that this application
for alimony and counsel fee rests
upon the unsupported affidavit of the
defendant alone. And this, too, al
though an opportunity was offered her
to reply to the many charges of the
many affiants who speak on behalf
of the plaintiff. Her own oath is,
nevertheless all that is offered in de-
nial or rebuttal
THAT she is q notOriouSly immoral
woman. and had been for many years
and has continued her immoralities
since her marriage, | must recognize
as established by the decided prepon-
derance of proof.
There is evidence also that she
and a group of women she conSOrtS
with have made practice of eXtortiTg
money from men. She is now suing
the plaintiff in an action in which she
is represented by the same attorneys
who are defending her here for the
sum OF $3.50, 900 for his alleged breach
OF a contract claimed to have been
made at about the time of her mar
riage to him.
aside from the lack of merit in
her case it appears that she is able
to procure legal services without the
granting OF a counsel fee.
THE motion for alimony should
also be denied. Ordinarily, where
wife is charged with misconduct, and
she makes explicit denial thereof un-
der oath, the courts are strongly dis
posed. and properly SO. to grant her
an allowance for her maintenance. as
we'll as for her defense. But where
it clearly appears, as in this case, on
the present papers, that the success
of the husband in the action is newt
able, no such allowance will be made.
ITO compel this plaintiff to pay any
further sum of money to this defend
ant would, in my opinion. be a shock
ing perversion and abuse of the salu-
tory rule just mentioned. Motion de-
MED. No costs"

MOODY SHUTS HIS LIPS

Oyster Bay N. Y, Aug. 1.-Attor-
ney General Moody surprised Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill to-
day with an early morning call. He
was expected this evening.
''The Agricultural Department in
vestigation is not in shape to be made
public" Mr.. Moody said, and then
he remarked, significantly, Because
a thing happens to be wrong it does
not necessarily follow that any laws
have been broken. Our statutes, un-
fortunately. do not cover all wrong
doing. The Federal statutes are es-
pecialy weak in some respects. The
public is too ready to declare acts il
legal"
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
laid bare to the President yesterday
his side Of the case. Mr.. Moody laid
before the President today the evil
dence the Department Of Justice has
in the case of Edwin S. Holmes. Jr.,
and he went over the laws to meet
the case in hand.
Mr. Roosevelt now has clearer
view of the situation.

The opposition to the importation OF
the paupcrs of Europe into this country
to compete. as alleged, with the negro,
is becoming more positive and emphatic
notwithstanding the efforts of some in
terests to secure cheap labor" The evil
of cheap labor has been fully demon
strated in the mining districts of the
United States where human beings are
as chattels, subject to the whlm and
will of the corporation by whom they
are held, as in slavery. Throughout the
Southern States are millions of acres
which should be opened to cultivation,
and in time will be populated with a
class of people-home makers-who will
not be held in ''peonage' on plantations
and by corporations seeking cheap
labor"

the absence from the State of one of the

GRAND DOUBLE BILL
At the Next Stag of the Shreveport
Athletic Association May g.

Arrangements have finally been com
pleted for the boxing and wrestling
matches that will be put On at the next
stag entertainment given by the
Shreveport Athletic Association on May
Sth
The two star attractions secured by
the committee bid fair to eclipse any
attraction yet put OH at these popular
monthly entertainments.
The program will consist of two main
events, catch-as-catch-can champion
ship wrestling match. and a scientific
boxing bout of ten rounds.
Although the clubs regular stag
prices will prevail, its patrons will get
double measure for their money as each
feature will be worth double the small
admission charged. However, the club
is not in the stag business for profit,
simply making a nominal charge for
seats in order to pay part of the cost
of running the entertainments, its policy
being to furnish some popular form Of
amusement for the members and their
friends.
The wrestling match will prove the
most exciting event that has ever been
put on in this city, as both men are
expert mat artists and capable of putting
up great exhibition.
Jack Dwyer and Harry Parker will
be the contestants in the wrestling match
which will be best two out of three
falls, for a handsome trophy and the
40 pounds championship of America.
The boxing bout will be between
Frank Kelly of Denver. Colo, and Tom
my Carey, a Baltimore lightweight of
more than ordinary boxing ability.
Both boxers enjoy excellent reputa-
tons and it is said will put up the best
article of boxing ever seen in Shreve-
port.

MEMORIAL DAY.

In answer to several inquiries the
Caucasian would say that June E is
Memorial Day. 1t will occur this year
on Tuesday. The memorial was fixed
at an annual convention of United Con-
Tolerate Veterans held several years
since. 1t is commemorative of the an
niversary OF the birth of Jefferson
Davis, who was the President of the
Confederacy, and in that sense the rep
Tesentative of the people of the South.
Before this date was fixed, States held
memorials commemora of some
event or achievement in which their SOL
diery in the active service had displayed
some conspicuous part. For instance,
Louisiana observed the anniversary of
the battle of Shiloh, where thousands of
Louisianians yielded their lives in de-
Tense of the principles which will ever
be cherished in the hearts of every true
Southern man. In some States the day
has been legalized by legislative enact
ment. The purpose of the day is to re-
mind the people of the South of their
duty to convey through flowers and
evergreens the tribute of love and REQ
ognition to the Heroes whose deeds OF
valor and heroism shall ever be en-
shrined in the most brilliant record of
Southern achievement

THE PITTSBURG @ CHESTRA
Will Appear at the Opera House on
Thursday, May 4.

The Pittsburgh Orchestra is one of
the strictly permanent orchestras of the
country Founded and operated by the
Art Society of Pittsburg, its incentive
came in 1895, when Andrew Carnegie
gave Carnegie library building with its
music hall to Pittsburg. The growth
of the orchestra has been steady In the
first year of its existence only ten aft
ernoon and ten evening concerts were
given.
During the ninth season (1oo3-1oo4)
in addition to the regular homeu series
of thirty-six concerts in Pittsburg
eighteen evening and eighteen after
noon), thrtythree concerts were given
outside of Pittsburg, most of which
were in cities now visited at regular Pc
RODS of each year.
Public-spirited citizens of Pittsburg
guarantee the expenses of the organiza-
ton, which has earned its high artistic
position. From the first, all expendi-
lures have been directed with the idea
of securing the highest quality of in
depreciation. The contract made with
all the players demands their entire
time and the orchestra rehearses every
week during the season. Frederick Ar
cher was conductor during the first three
seasons, and was followed by Victor
Herbert, who served two terms of three
years each, ending with the concerts
of March 10 and 1o, 1904.
During the nine seasons just enuded,
the Pittsburg Orchestra has given 44S
26o constituting the regular
Pittsburg season, and 1888 concerts out
side OF Pittsburg.
The new conductor is Emil Paur, in
vited to take the position for the next
three seasons, 1oo4-Ioo7. The regular
Pittsburg season now consists of twenty
weeks, beginning with the
first week in November.
For the regular eason of 1oo4-1oo5,
ending March II, the orchestra under
Mr.. Paur. will give the usual number
If home concerts, and during the same
period will have played some forty con-
,erts in outside cities (spring tour not
showing a substantial gain
over last wear,
