sideboard," said the judge. ut can be
said to the credit of the army that this
entire case has not developed II sim
gle case of drunkenness"
Speaking of the main cause Of the
differences between the Taggarts, the
court stated: at appears that there
was any dispute about financial
matters and that all the difficulty was
due to their relations with Others"
The judge concluded: Il will leave
the gross neglect and two charges Of
adultery stand as the ground of the
divorce, giving Captain Taggart the
divorce"
The Taggart trial lasted seven
weeks. The case went to the court a
month ago. The suit was first start
ed in July, 1904, by Captain Taggart,
who filed petition for divorce, charg-
ing his wife with conduct u~nbecoming
a wife and alleging the excessive use
of intoXicants. Mrs. Taggart heard Of
the proceedings in San Francisco sew
eral weeks later and Immediately
started for Wooster, the home of the
Taggarts, where she filed a counter
petition for divorce against Captain
Taggart on the grounds of cruelty and
neglect.
The case has been of exceptional in
terest because of statements during
the trial by Captain Taggart that the
use of intoxicants in the army was so
common as to be almost the custom.
A number of prominent army officers
Were named in Captain Taggart's petit
ton as having been more or less the
cause Of the domestic troubles between
Captain and Mrs. Taggart.

TAocART is GIVEN DECREE.
Court Also Awards the Captain Custody
of the Children.

At Wooster, Ohio, Captain Gilmore
Il. Taggart, U. S. A., was awarded a
decree of divorce from his wife, Grace
Culver Taggart, and given possession
of their two children, Charles Culver,
aged II, and Elmer f., 5r., aged z.
The sensational case which has STIR
red army circles both in this country
and Europe reached its finale Friday
afternoon when Judge Eason, who
heard the evidence, read a long opin-
ion.
The court, though denying Mrs.
ordered that she be permitted to see
them at stated intervals. In this re-
spect alone was Mrs. Taggart given
much consideration.
Judge Eason clearly leaned to the
theory that the mother was not a fit
person to whom to intrust her off
spring. Among the causes for reach
ing this conclusion was Mrs. Taggarts
alleged intrigues with Billy" Taggart
and with Captain Fortesque, said to

The court censured both and
men severely.
Judge Eason had a good deal to say
about the use of intoXicants, and said
that the charge of excessive drunken
ness preferred against Captain Tag
CART had not been sustained. The
habit Of imbibing frequently was a
subject OF comment, however, and
evidently the court believed that it
played a par. in the alienation of the
couple.

Canal Supplies Will Be Handled Under

The last action of the Panama canal
commission before sailing from Colon
for New York was the annulment of the
contract awarded to j. Z. Markell Of
Omaha, Neb., for feeding and caring for
he employees of the canal. The reason
for this action is that Chief Engineer
Stevens, through the department of ma
terials and supplies, under Messrs. Jack
son and Smith, is handling the commits
saries successfully, rendering unneces-
sary the arrangement.
The contract with Mr.. Markell was to
d five years and it was estimated that
1t would involve $50,O0O,0O0 Hudgins
Il Dumas, n of the other firms bidding

DECLARES 1T ABSURD.
Witness Contends That Government
Could Not Operate Railways.

Daniel Davenport of bridgeport Conn,
representing an organization formed by
holders of railroad securities, who was heard
today by the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce in opposition to the various
bills proposing federal regulation of railroad
rates, said in reference to the frequently re-
peated statement that unless some bill were
PASSED it would drive Congress to govern
ment ownership of railroads: THAT entire
argument is absurd. If Congress should
float bonds and buy the stock of railroads it
could not operate them 1t could not carry
freight or passengers from one point to an
other in the same state" This he declared
to be wholly in the power of the states to
regulate, in spite of all the powers of the
federal government in the matters of inter-
state commerce.
savings banks. through their depositors
own a ma jority of all railroad securities,
and that whoever seeks to array the gov
eminent against those properties seeks to
array the government against the people,"
He asked if Congress assumes to work out
the regulation of railroad rates it would be
bound by limitations of law and the Consti-
tuition to wipe out differentials of every
character between the several ports. There
could be no way to regulate these rates ex-
cept on the basis of SO much per hundred
weight for each mile and at the same time
conform to the principle that there shall be
no distinction as to ports.
Senator Foraker asked why there should
be any differentials, and Mr.. Davenport ex-
planned that water freight rates from north
ern Atlantic ports to South Atlantic ports
made it necessary for the railroads to
charge a less freight rate than is charged
for a shorter distance between Chicago and
eastern ports. He declared the only solu-
ton would be the regulation of both water
rates and railroad rates.
Mr.. Davenport will continue his statement
at the next meeting of the committee
