PLAN CENTRAL BANK AS
CURE FOR STRINGENCY

New York, April let is learned
that plan is under discussion among
certain bankers in this city to estab-
lish bank with capital Of $50, 600, :
900 for the purpose of regulating mon
ey rates and preventing periods Of
money stringency and accompanying
high rates of interest. The movement
was given some impetus by the recent
stringency in the money market.
The name of the National City bank
was mentioned in connection with the
plan, and one suggestion was made
that the stock of that bank be in
creased by $25, 600, 900 or $50, O00, 900,
in order to give it control Of the
financial situation In this city sufn-
Gent to prevent the recurrence Of Pc
RODS Of depression extreme high rate
for money.
Another suggestion was that trust
company be organized, under the d.
rection Of the National City bank.
Officials of the bank declared, howev-
or, that they were not taking more
than passing interest id the various
plans.
Some of the concerns which have
taken. an interest in the movement as
sert that such an institution might ex-
ercise considerable control over the
foreign exchange situation, to the ex-
tent of regulating imports and exports
of gold, somewhat as does the Bank Of
England.
A series Of questions bearing upon
the subject has been forwarded by the
special currency committee Of the New
York Chamber of Commerce to clear
ing house committees of the leading
tiles of the United States.
The bankers are asked to notify the
New York committee whether they

HANDED DOWN By FEDERAL So
PaEnE COURT.
Majority1olds that Proceedings
are Void Where Only One
Party l. Within Jurisdiction Of
the State-Far Reaching In lts
Effect.

Washington, April 17.-In an Opin-
lon by Justice White, the supreme
court of the United States has decided
the case Of John w. Haddock We. Har-
riet Haddock, divorce proceeding in
stituted in the courts Of New York
city, in favor of the woman. The
Haddocks were married in 1868, and
the husband claimed to have been an
unwilling participant in the ceremony.
He says in his answer to the woman
complaint that he left her immedi-
ately after the marriage rites were
performed, and during all the time
that has interviewed has seen her only
three times.
In 1881 he secured divorce in the
state Of Connecticut, where he then
resided, and in 1882 was married there
to another woman. The New York
supreme court held the Connecticut
marriage to be illegal, decreed the
first wife to be still the legal wife, and
directed Haddock to pay her an annu-
ity of $3.50. That finding was sus-
tanned by yesterday g dectsioon, which
held that Mrs. Haddock was without
the jurisdiction of the Connecticut
court.
Justice White, in deciding the case,
laid down the general principle that a
state in which only one party to q di-
vorce proceeding resides has no right
to dissolve a marriage tie which all
other states must respect.
Justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown
united in dissenting opinions, which
were delivered by Justice Brown.
They took the position that the Con-
necticut divorce proceeding was regu-
lar and is entitled to due credence in
other states.
Justice Holmes also dissented from
the decision of the court. but deliv-
cred an Independent opinion. He said
the result Of the decision would be to
illegitimatize many children, but add
ed that he would not go 80 far as to
predict that civilization would come
to an end, whatever the conclusion In
the case.

Situated In narrow ravine on the
south fork of the South Platte river.
48 miles from Denver, is the highest
dam on earth, known as the Cheesman
dam. Its wall Of solid masonry Is 221
feet high, impounding more than 3O.-
OOO, OOO, 900 gallons Of water. From
an engineering viewpoint, Its nearest
rival is the famous Croton dam that Inn
pounds New York city's water supply.
This contains more masonry and cost
more money, but 1t does not hold as
much water, and it's construction was
not attended with so many or 80 great
engineering difficulties.
1t almost seems as though Nature IT
self had intended the site of Chees-
man dam to some day be utilized as d
great reservoir. The canon of the
South Platte river at this point Is not
more than 35 feet wide at the bottom,
and the sides are almost vertical for
nearly 100 feet. At this point the
canyon begins to widen, SO that 200 feet
above the bottom 1t Is 600 feet wide,
and 22O feet above the bottom it's width
Is about 700 feet. From the bottom
of the canyon to the summit Of the
dam the side walls are Of solid granite
Before the masonry was laid, the loose
boulders, rocks. and debris were re-
moved. This work developed the fact
that while the bottom contained pot
holes, and the sides many irregulari-
ties, yet there were no seams nor GREY
ices.
The dam was constructed Of granite
rubble masonry laid in Portland &C.

Electric Lights from windnill.

Electric Lights from Windmin.
Wind-made electricity holds out the
promise of becoming great boon to
rural districts; and the day is near at
hand when every farmer who has a
Windmill on his grounds can enjoy cleo
.ric lights and the many other services
which electric power is capable Of yield
Ing. For many years, men have been
trying to convert wind power into cleo
tricity. r. w. Wilson, of Westfield.
Ind, has worked out a practicable
method Of accomplishing it
In producing wind-made electricity,
Wilson calls upon the windmill to per-
form Its customary function of pumping
water. BE leads the water into by
draulic regulator built on the principle
Of water-lift, In which the pressure Is
controlled by weights, and from which
1t is released by means Of automatic
valves.
This regulator Is the means Of main
tanning the even pressure under all con-
ditions, whether the windmill IL revOlv-
ing fast or slow.
Under the uniform pressure, the wa
ter is passed from the hydraulic cham
her through q water motor to which a
dynamo is attached.
Mr.. Wilson demonstrates the success
of the invention at his own shop IN
Westfeld, which is brightly lighted
with wind-made electricity, and TO all
appearances 1t equals the steam-made
product that city folk enjoy.
