SEPARATION
TINE OVERLAND IiMiTCo.:
ELECTRIC LIGHTED

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The World
to-day publishes the following cable
DESPATCH
London, Nov. 9.-The possibility of
conducting divorce proceedings in
secret in the courts of New York may
take the Marlborough divorce case to
the former home of the Duchess, who
was Consuelo Vanderbilt. The World
is informed that this means of escap-
ing the publicity which is attending
Anna Gould's efforts to rid herself Of
her titled husband in France has been
considered seriously by the Duchess.
The Duke is prepared to drive a hard
bargain in bill of separation. He is
holding out against the Duchess de-
mand for the custody of the children,
conditions which. If accepted, would be
equivalent to admission on the part Of
the Duchess that she was in the wrong.
Confronted by these terms the Ouch
ess of Marlborough has taken no legal
steps to regain possession OF her chill
| dren. Her inactivity in this direction
, has afforded excuse for much gossip
and justification by the Dukes friends
of his lofty attitude OF injured inno-
cence
The Duke is letting 1t be known that
he is exhausting every means at his
command to obtain an absolute divorce
to vindicate himself but under the
English law he can obtain no relief,
though he prove his case, If his wife
can establish faults on his part.
The Duke is grievously cut by the
sympathy extended to his wife. He
feels, according to his friends, that he
is the one injured and the just object Of
public sympathy. He Is said to ap-
preciate greatly the impartial position
taken by his father-inlaw. w. X.
Vanderbilt. He considers the attitude
of the Duchess father singularly just,
II not generous.
But by no means should 1t be said
that the Duchess has given up hope OF
paining the custody of the children.
They are still at Blenheim, but the
castle is being dismantled and they are
to go next week to stay with the Dukes
sister. Lady Gresley, at her home in
Derbyshlre. There has been whole
sale dismissal of servants at Blenheim,
and only caretakers are retained

AS a widely heralded completed

There, broadly stated, Is one side of
the situation. On the other hand, II

and publications that while the mis-

had gathered at the station to greet

A telegram was received in Aber-

James Burke, a travelling man out OF
Aberdeen. The message, addressed to
Charles I. Grow, president of the South

and signed by &c. A. Macarthur, =
stated that, Burke had died that day
at Sioux City.

For the Good of the Order.

tn HE committee that journeyed
to Chicago and interviewed
the Western Passenger asso-
citation feels that some progress has
been made. The members are conf
dent that they made an impression and
are pleased with the attitude of the
general passenger agents. They hope
that by July or August an interchange
able excess mileage book will be
adopted as result of the conference.
Such a book would be great conve-
nience. The next step will be to inter
view the northern roads, and this will
be done shortly.
The interchangeable mileage at 2
cents mile without rebate will come
later, but it will come in time as the
result of agitation. The railroads claim
that the rebate of 1880 on 1900 miles
would not tie up as much money as the
5,000-mile books the U. c. T. is willing
to accept. That might apply to the
central mileage territory, but here in
the northwest, where the travellers "gc
some,' 5,000-mile books do not last
longer than 1,000-mile books in the
middle and eastern states. Anyhow
the rebate is deemed unjust, and wrong
in principle, and the use of $40 on {
thousand miles is pretty steep, even il
the average use is only seventeen
days, as claimed. The railroads wan
to hang on to- the rebate, which is {
good indication that it amounts tx
something.

in the neighborhood of $4,000 and will
be devoted almost wholly to the asso-
citation work A site has been pur-
chased well down town and work will
commence within comparatively short
time The necessary funds are now
in hand. The intention is to make the
new building headquarters for all
the 1000 members of the association,
not only from. the business standpoint,
but more particularly in the social
way, and it will prove a boon to the
men of the grip.
The history of the Northwest Com
mercial Travellers association is not
long in point of years covered, but its
progress has been phenomenal and that
it performs the work which its origin
ators expected it would do is evidenced
by the present-day status Of the asso-
citation.
On Oct. 10, 1882, the first steps to-
ward the formation of the association
were taken, some ten travelling men
| representing eastern houses being pres
ent at the initial meeting and consti-
tuting the entire membership for that
year. The association was incorpo-
rated under an act of the Manitoba
provincial government and for the first
1 two or three years its progress was
slow. AS the Importance of the Can
adian west was brought to the atten
tion of the outside world and advanced
! in wealth the field for the traveller
quickly enlarged until the whole ter
ritory from the great lakes to the
I Pacific was covered. The necessity Of
4 the association then made itself NOR,
strongly felt and the work Of putting
it on sound basis was pushed ahead
with the result that today the organi
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-03-18

is probable that the dominion govern
ment will disallow the provincial acts.
1t is probable the present year will
see the Northwest Travellers associa-
tion operating under dominion char
ter. Since the division of the north
west territories into two provinces and
with the association actively interested
in British Columbia it would probably
save yexatious troubles in the future
if instead of the Manitoba charter, UNI
der which it does business at present,
a dominion charter were obtained Civ
ing the association full rights in any
part of Canada. An application for
such charter will in all likelihood be
made at the next session of parliament
at Ottawa.
The present officers of the association
are: President, B. J. Dyson; vicepresi
dent, J. E. McRobie; treasurer, L. G
Mcintyre; secretary, F. J. G. Cox; di
rectors, John Horn, A. S. Locke, F. III

zation is fourishing. The total mem
bership is now about 1000, distrib-
uted from Winnipeg to Vancouver, tho
by far the larger portion are residents
of the former city. A branch associa-
ton has also been founded at Calgary,
and no doubt as the country increases
in population and wealth other
branches will be opened.
According to the last annual state
ment Of the treasurer Of the associa-
ton, the total assets now amount to
$97 ,7O9.73, an increase over the pre-
vious year of $35,421.51. The mortu-
airy benefit account now totals the
large sum Of SOL, 1913, while the asso-
citation IS liability under the mortuary
benefit is in the neighborhood Of $780,
OOO Last year total claims paid under
this fund were 81 ,450. In addition to
the provisions relating to the securing
of cheap accident insurance, the asso-
citation has furnished two wards in the
Vancouver and Winnipeg hospitals for
the service of it's members exclusively
and in hundred other ways has done
much towards ameliorating the lot OF
the travelling man in the Canadian
northwest.
