cAs9 is SETTLED
Supreme Court of tuited states Takes
Hand in al Important
Question.

WASHINGTON. April 1e-tn an opinion
by Justice white. the supreme court Of the
United States today decided the case OF
John W. IIaddock against Harriet Had
dock. a divorce proceeding instituted in the
courts Of New York City, in favor Of the
woman The Haddocks were married in
1865 and the husband claimed TO have been
an unwilling party to the ceremony. He
says in his answer to the womans com
plant that he had left her Immediately
after the marriage rites were performed
and during all the time that has inter-
vened has seen her only three times. In
1881 he secured a 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
second marriage ceremony to be illegal,
decreed tho first wife to be stil the legal
wife and directed Hsddock to pay her an
annuity of $3.50 That fnding was sus-
tanned by today's decision. 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 a divorce proceeding resides has
no right to dissolve marriage tie which
all other states must respect.
Jstces Harlan, Brewer and Brown united
in dissenting opinion, which was deliv-
cred by Justice Brown. They took the
position that the Connecticut divorce pro-
ceeding was regular and was entitled TO
due credence in other states.
Justice Brown declared in his opinion
that the court had taken a backward step
I'm this direction.

President Roosevelt declares that the

as to make that will absolutely abor-
