were trying to do business in
town have moved. A well in.
formed man said yesterday that
there was not one left IN Monroe,
but that they had moved to the
country, being afraid of being
caught in town. If this is the
case it is up to the country peo.
ole to say whether they will allow
these rascals to corrupt their
neighborhoods. The law Is am
pie and it is difficult to see how
there could be q more stringent

WASHINGTON, May 9-Seeretary Taft fairly took the breath away of three hundred railway men, members of the International Railway Con gress, who were dining tonight as guests of the American Railway Asso- citation at the New Willard Hotel, when, after being introduced as an "apostle from the Philippines" he emphatieally declared that railway rate legislation must come, and that if the railway men of the country were wise they would aid and not hinder it.
 He further said that the sentiment of the country is such that a failure to secure proper regulation meant campaign on the subject hat would do no good to the railroads.
 He was positively against govern ment ownership, and he said, eontinu- ing: ''But you cannot run the rail roads as you run private business. You must respond to public demands. !"

MEDITERRANEAN NJ CAUSE FUR
 DIVORCE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9-Mother- in-law interference is no cause for div orce comes the announcement from the Superior Court of this county, and Judge Seawell is the jurist who is re- sponsible for this expression on judi cial relief. It means that Belle B. Chance and Charles T. Chance cannot throw off the matrimonial yoke which they assumed in May, 1902, and have found to be irksOme.
 All through the trial the name of Mrs. Quarrels was heard more frequent ly than any others. Mrs. Quarrels is the mother-in-law. and Chance the sOn-in- law. However, it was Mrs. Chance who instituted the suit for divorce, and Chance came back with cross complaint. Neither complaint avail ed anything except an airing of ia mily troubles and expose of the trou- bled seas that can be stirred up by a mother-in-law.
 Mrs. Quarrels scolded, and when Chance endeavored to persuade his wife to leave her mother and live with him like .rue and loving helpmate, Mrs. Quarrels declared he was not a gentleman. She hit him, she up- braided him on every occasion possible and when Chance was kept in bed with broken leg Chance s father was re- fused permission to enter the house. Chance fitted up home for his wife. but requested she leave her mother to live somewhere else.
 ''I will not leave my mother for you or any other man, retorted Mrs. Chance. So Mrs. Quarrels remained with Mrs. Chance, and Mir. Chance had to move. His wife asserted it was a clear case of desertion. and it was one of the grounds on which she wanted a divorce. She averred that Chance called her numerous bad names. and in general caused her sorrow, turmoil, and mental disquietude. She says he ire quently mentioned that he was going to get a divorce, but she was first to act.

IN THE WAY TO
 CHICAGO

OMAHA, May 9-Late this after noon it was decided to change the route of the Presidential train, and have it cross the Missouri river at Blair, Neb., 9 miles north of Omaha.
 When the train reached Fremont, it was turned over to the Northwestern road, which took the train across the cut off to Missouri valley to Iowa, where the main line branches off, and runs direct to Chicago.
 The trip across Nebraska today was most pleasant one for the President. Leaving Denver early Tuesday morn ing. nearly the entire day was spent crossing the Nebraska plains. Sev- eral speeches, all brief, were deliv- cred by the President from the rear platform of the ear. The schedule prepared for the Presidents train was followed exactly, there being so delay at any point. During the day the Union Pacific transmitted over the wires news of the day, which was de- livered in bulletin form to the Presi- dent at various points. The President expressed qualification at this innova- ton.

eluded. He answered the secretary at length, taking the view that the law prohibiting discrimination, double dealing and secret rebates, was ample and vigorously called for the enforce ment of that law.
 When Fish sat down Taft asked him for fifteen minutes in which to reply. The time was granted, and the Secretary utilized it in making himself even more positive as to his position in favor of legislation which would create tribunal with authority to name a maximum rate. Only by such method, he argued, could the present abuses that exist be eliminated. The people are rapidly becoming eonvine- ed that the policy of the railroad is to charge all that the traffic will bear, and the great railway systems, in order to protect themselves, must consent to rate legislation at the hands of the government.
 Secretary Taft s speech made pro found impression, and it was conceded by many reluctantly that only the plain truth had been stated.
