was attorney for Mrs. Robert Gould
Shaw, when she obtained her divorce

cision Of tho United States Supreme

OF the decree entered dissolving the tie
'',rhe point made in tho recent decision
was carefully considerd Mt the time Mrs
Shaw's divorce was obtained said ar.
Hartman. "The decision did not estab-
fish now principle, but simply applied
an old principle to n special case.
'The point In the case of Haddock vs.
Haddock was that the defendant was
not actually before the court, being pres
cnt only by publication Of process. In
the Shaw case the defendant was present
by counsel and In person.
Mr. Hartman said he knew nothing Of
the report that Mrs. Shaw's marriage to
William Waldorf Astor had been post
poned because Of tho fear that the do
clsion In Hnddocl1 vs. Handbook might
affect the validity Of her divorce. Mr..
Hartman Investigated the subject Of The
legality of the divorce very thoroughly
while In this CITY, lie has not the slight
est doubt.

BAPTIST BOARD of
FOREIGN MISSIONS

The convention year of the ForciGil
Mission Board of the Southern Baptlst
Convention, the Office Of which is In TINS
city, closed at midnight Monday. .ihe
books for the year were closed at that
hour and all of Yesterday Rev. Dr.. r. j.
Wllingham, the secretary, and Or. Smlth,
his assistant. were busy footing up the
columns The footings show that the
receipts for the year are something IKE
$50 900 more than they have ever been
in any previous year.
The board will go up to the convention,
which meets in Chattanooga this month,
with a debt on its hands. but not q
very large one. This will be the
first time a debt has been reported III
nine years. This burden is not due to
decreased receipts ,.bnt .'to largely m
creased work necesstaiing greater cash
outlay.
The board is now employing more mis-
sionaries in foreign lands than ever be-
fore, and is spending much more money
in schools and in publication work.
The reports from the mission fields
show the largest number of conversions
ever before reported. there being over
one thousand In China alone. The board
has during the year largely increased
Its working force In Japan and sent new
men and women to other fields.
A number of missionaries who have
returned home for rest, and a number
of new ones soon to start TO the foreign
fields, about twenty In all, will attend
the convention in Chattanooga
