laborious task. The Bishop closed

la a lawsuit New York City last
week between George Schwab, "a
years old, and Elizabeth, his wife, &C
years his junior. the Supreme Court
rendered decision directing Mrs
Schwab to contribute to her hus-
bands support during his lifetime.
This is probably the first case Of the
kind on record.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schwab were married
about twenty years ago and have for
many years lived in that section Of
Brooklyn known as the New Lots
Road. Schwab purchased lots and
built himself an apartment house out
Of his own gunds he declared Having
dispute with a tenant who demand
ed $500 compensation for damages,
Schwab went to a German notary
public, who told him that if he trans
ferred his property to his wife the
claimant for damages would be un-
able to recover.
Schwab transferred the real estate
to his wife, but he asserts it was upon
the express condition that she should
reurn the property to him whenever
he wanted it.
Schwab says his wife refused to
transfer the real estate to him when
he demanded it. He then reained Law
yer August P. Wagner. of Chambers
street. to brng suit in the Supreme
Court 10 recover his property
The case was tried before Justice
Marean at special term Mrs. Schwab
commended that all them oney for the
purchase of the lots and putting up
he apartment house had been con-
tributed by her and said that her hus-
band had no interest in them.
Justice Marean in rendering decis-
ion called attention to the fact that
Schwab IS very old and feeble and
should he award him the real estate
It was not improbable that some I'M
scrupuloas person would come along
and get II away from him.
q will leave It, therefore" said the
Justice, with the woman, especially
as Schwab has no children or heirs of
law, but she must pay him SIS week
as long as he lives. for his support.
If she refuses 70 pay the S. week,
he is to get a one-haifi interest in the
property
Judgment to this effect was duly
entered in the County Clerks Office.

SITUATION
 IS TANGLED Japan Strikes Snag in
 Korea. MINISTERS ARE LEAVING Cabinet Members Are Afraid to
 Leave Homes. Feeling Between the Two Races And conapetifion of Lower Orders serious erobIem For Jspa-
 sese Government.
 

Seoul. korea, December Is.--fcorre- spondenee of the Associated Press. 1-- The political situation here has heen ane of the extreme interest. It seems to be undoubtedly true that the Jana- nese have been able to put through their program with greater ceierity than they had expected and that nnra tnelr protectorate has been established they are now rather at a loss as to how to proceed
 There Is really no head 10 anything. The cabinet ministers are afraid 10 leave their houses and they do bust- ness when necessary by telephone, The Enperor refuses to see any one aud MT. Morsan the American Misistef. left wilhout farewell audience because Ills Majesty wished to avoid seeing the Japanese minister as he would have 10 do Tn case he had received the Alner- iean representative. By their treatv tne Japanese have established a uro- tectorate and declared that there shall pc resident general who shall out rank every one and replace the legn- tion and minister and that there he shall attend 10 all diplomatic affairs. These provisions would seem to neces- sitate the abolition of the foreign of- flee as 1t has already enfaiied the withdrawal of the several of the for elgn ministers.
 MT Hayashi is supposedly acting res- ident general although stiii holding his position as minister. as no notifi- catian has been sent to the. foreign les gation of the charge in his status. While nominaliy supreme he ia out- ranked by the commander in chief. General Haseegawa, and while invested by the treaty with the control of .-dir- lomatic affairs. he still permits tha foreign office. now under tire direction of Mir. Stevens; for no Korean will ac- cept the billet of minister for foreign affairs. to exist. His majesty stiil falls to grasp the situation and continues to seek the advice of any one who VIII tender it.
 The problem which the Japanese have in working out the tabiishment of protectorate over Korea in all it's details Is difficult one, Tho feeling between the two races and the keen competition between the lower orders of the two peoples com mpllcatu matters and increases the difficulties of the already delicate situation. for 1t must be solved not only from the standpoint of the Japanese but of the Korean peo- pie as well.

THE PUBLICITY BILL
FERRY BELMONT IN ADDRESS
 URGES THE MEASURE.
spian to Compel the Publication of Names of Contribators of Funds to be Used fn Political
 Camnafwna,

Washington, Jan. 2s.--Publicity of election contributions and expenditures and the formation of organizations to promote these Issues in all States are urged m an address issued tonight by tho Nattegal Publicity Bsll organization The addr sgs fo1Iowh.
 For the purpose of eliminating by all appropriate methods the evils re- sulting from secret contributions and expenditures of large sums of money in elections, meeting was held in the city of Washington January IT. 1906, and a society was formed to be known as the National Publicity Bill organization and this Address was au- thorized.
 "The |, secret and corrupt use of money in the election of the chief mag istrate of nation. it's legislators and it's State and municipal officers Is a dangerous menace to the institutions of free people. The profiIgate use of money for such purposes enables con solidated interests, by secret contribu- tions. to dominate political organiza- lions. depriving them of many of their political rights to confer them on the few.
 "It is confidently asserted that the first and most important measure of re- lief is the passake-or a national law. demanding the disclosure under oath of contributions of money and every promise of money in national campaigns and in case of evasion. providing. for exposure, detection and punishment substantially as set forth in q bill pre- pared under the auspices of this or- ganization. ..-
 This organization desires to pro- mote the formation of similar organ nations in every State of the union In order that the proposed national law may be supplemented by State legisla- tion of like character sas nearly uni- form as possible, This movement has the support of leading representatives of the political parties and of organized labor It concerns the rights and honors of every citizen and the ap- proval and active cooperation of all are earnestly invoked to carry this re- form to a successful conclusion.
