IF TRUE.

While the country press is not inclined
to NEEDLE in the affairs of New Or
leans. it may be pertinent to inquire how
is it possible for O'Nlalley to be out OF
jail or the pen if only one part of all
that is charged against him in public
print is true; and if true, how is it that
he has been and is a factor in Demo
cratic politics in New Orleans? A man
so dangerous, as he is depicted to be-
should be reached by law. Is it pos
sible that the, apparently, unlimitel lat
itude given him is suggested by the ap-
prehension of his divulging, if pressed
some State secrets which, perhaps
would damn some reputation forever?

Japanese Government Is Ava ting Ad
vices From WASHINGTON,

Toxic, June 14.-The Japanese gov
eminent still maintains silence regard
ing peace negotiations. It is appar-
emily awaiting action and advices from
Washington and ST. Petersburg The
newspapers and public continue a spr-
tied discussion of the subject, devot-
ing themselves largely to n probable
armistice and terms of peace.
The newspapers continue to flatly
oppose an early armistice. which would
deprive the army and navy of the ad-
vantages within their grasp. 1t is gen
orally thought that Field Marshal
Omaya's plans are rapidly maturing
and that the next great drive will sweep
General Linevitch back and carry the
Japanese army into Russian territory.

The two days conference OF the
Cordilleran section of geologlsts'
which has been in progress In South
Hall on the university campus, came
to a close this afternoon. Scientists OF
note read papers at the morning ana
afternoon sessions to-day to an audi
ence which included many savants OF
the West. who have profound inter-
est in the problems involved in papers
discussed by the speakers.
John A. Reid of Reno was to have
read a paper on "A Detail of the
Great Fault Zone of the Sierra Ne
vada," but in his absence Professor A.
G. Lawson read the composition.
Charles z. Weaver of the University
of California dealt with the palaeon-
tology of the Martinez group.
Under the title of Stream Piracy
in the Upper Pecos, New Mexico, w.
G. Tight of Albuquerque, n. M, dis
cussed a peculiar phase of the actions
of some rivers in the Southwest. he
said that the elevation Of the creta-
ceous beds which extend from the
Gulf of Mexico in a general north
western direction to the frontal ranges
of the Rocky Mountains and which
underlie the Llama Estacada of West
ern Texas and Eastern New Mexico
developed normal drainage in the OIL
rection of their upper surface, which
extended from the mountain axis in
general southeastern direction, in
several parallel lines. The beds are
composed of strata of extremely vari-
able resistance to erosion.
The lower Pecos of New Mexico
was developed on the western margin
of this extensive uplift, along the
strike of the beds. It's headwaters
captured the headwaters of several of
the southeastward flowing streams, the
most important being the tributaries
of the Red River, the Brazos and the
Colorado of Texas. The old deserted
channels extending from the present
headwaters of these streams to the
Pecos are represented by chains OF
saline basins.

1016 Broadway, Dec. 81.
Alleging that her husband already
has one wife, Mrs. Addie E. Ampuero
has begun an action for the annull-
ment Of her marriage with John b.
Ampuero. This action was begun only
after her life had been made miserable
by receiving letters from the woman
claiming to be Mrs. Ampuero No. l
telling Mrs. Ampuero No. that she
was not legally married to Ampuero
and had no claim upon him. Accord
ing to the statement of Attorney Phil
Walsh his client has had the woman
claiming to be the real Mrs. Ampuero
arrested once for disturbing her peace.
but the letters came just the same,
and now she intends to have her mar
riage annulled.
Following up the arrest of her hus-
band, Vincenze Addiajo, yesterday for
battery, Mrs. Marie Addiajo has begun
suit for divorce against him. He is a.
bootblack and is said to have threat
ened to kill her as soon as he gains
his liberty. She also charges him with
having tried to poison her by putting
rough-on-rats in her coffee in order
to get a $500 life Insurance policy.
She asks for the custody of their chill
dren and a division Of the community
property.
Marie Fox got an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce from Elmer III. Fox to-
day on the ground of desertion and
failure to provide. Isabel r. Dirks got
a decree from John A. c. Dirks on the
ground of desertion. They have been
married thirty-five years. She was
granted SIS a month alimony.
