CHICAGO TO NEW YORK.
Electric Line to Make Distance In
Ten Hours.

Chicago.-Ten hours between Chi
cago and New York on trains operated
by electricity, and making an average
speed of seventy-five miles an hour, Is
the plan of incorporators of the Chi
cago G. New York Electric Air Line
railroad.
The scheme appears to be far in the
future. however. 1t is asserted that
some OF the right OF way has been Sc
cured" but the projectors decline to
say how much. They hope to have the
road in operation in five years.
AS the name implies. the proposed
road Will sacrifice everything for speed
and distance. According to the state
trent of Jonathan D. Price, president oi
the Cooperative Construction Com
pany, which was organized to build the
road, the line will be 742 miles long. OF
200 miles shorter than any steam road
now connecting the two cities. Fart oi
the line already has been surveyed.
The first section of the road to be built,
according to the promoters, VIII be
out of Chicago, and the work on this,
one of the incorporators said last night,
will begin soon.
In choosing the route no attention IS
Maid to whether the line runs through
the road will be eight miles south OF
South Bend, Indiana, and at that point
1t is proposed to build station and
run a spur into the city. The same plan
will be followed where the road passes
near any other city. These spur lines
will be connected with the street rail
way systems in each town, and 1t is
proposed to run freight trains at night.
Details as to the kind of cars to be
used have not been thoroughly worked
out, according to F. II. Wood, law.
yer of Oak Park, Illinois, VINO Is one OF
the incorporators. He suggested, how.
ever. that the Germans have attained
great success in building third-rail
roads, such as it is proposed this one
sill be. and he mentioned the fact that
on a specially constructed roadbed
electric trains there have been oper'
ated at 131 miles an hour.

Women Wage Farmers.

Two young Boston women. students
at the University of Chicago have set
before themselves the difficult task OF
investigating the problems presented
by the gainful employment of women
in the United States. So far as the
results of their inquiry have been
made available in the pages of the
Journal of Political Economy, they
are confined to an analysis of the facts
to be deduced from the census re-
ports; but some of these results are
SO interesting that the student OF So
cial economics will await the compile
tion of the study with impatience.
Feminine competition with men is
a subject on which 1t has been the
fashion to dogmatize freely, but the
actual material on which to base eX-
act conclusions is surprisingly scan
ty. and any labor which furnishes the
needed data is labor well applied. 1t
has been often said. for instance, that
women's invasion of fields Of indus.
trial activity hitherto restricted to the
male worker has increased the keen
ness of the competition for liveli'
hood, and whatever progress has been
made by women in enlarging the num-
ber of gainful occupations open to
them has been at the expense of and
in the face OF the opposition of the
men. Nevertheless, it has not been
demonstrated that women's work has
essentially altered in amount or in
tensity, and there is reason to believe
that even the changes in the charac'
ter of that work have not been so
great as is commonly believed.

Colorado Relief Work.

Denver-In an address to the peop-
pie of the city and state President A. J.
Spengel of the Chamber of Commerce
Sunday night says:
There has been forwarded under the
auspices of the Denver Chamber of
Commerce up to the present time
thirty-two carloads, averaging about
10000. pounds to the car, of
assorted provisions, consisting mainly
of cured meats, crackers, canned
meats, pork and beans, coffee, CON
densed milk, sugar, flour, potatoes and
cereals.
"The first days work resulted in dis
patching trainload of seventeen cars,
which through the magnificent service
of the Union Pacific railroad will be
in San Francisco some time Sunday.
"The second days work resulted in
dispatching a second train, consisting
of fourteen carloads, to which was
added a car from Longmont one from
Loveland, one from Central City and
five cars from points in the state not
known at this time, making double.
header train OF twenty-five cars which
has been scheduled as the second sec.
ton of the Overland Limited passen-
ger train of the Union Pacific railroad
and will reach San Francisco some
time Monday.

tial and magnificent, has but just be-
gun. Let us not permit our efforts to
wane. The need is great and much is

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Death of E. c. Stoiber.

Denver-Edward G. Stoiber, one of
Colorado's best known mining men,
died at Paris. France, Saturday. after
a short illness, from typhoid fever. Ed
ward G. Stoiber made princely for
tune in mining in Colorado. He did
not strike it rich but by his metal
lurgical knowledge and perseverance
he developed some prospects into one
of the best paying mines in Colorado.
These were the Silver Lakes mines
and mills situated near Silverton in
San Juan county. About two years
ago he sold the mines to the Gusgen-
helm Exploration Company for sum
of cash amounting to not less than
81, 100000. Prior to selling, the mines
had paid him a comfortable fortune.

DIVORCE INVALID
DECISION OF UNITED STATES SU-
PREME COURT.
ITS EFFECTS FAR REACHING
Both Parties to Divorce Suit Must Be
Residents Of the State-Sets Aside
South Dakota DEGREES - Makes
Thousands of Children Legitimate.

Washington. = CONSERVATION is ex-
pected to seize scores of prominent
men and women who have obtained di-
vorces OF the South Dakota type as
result Of the most sweeping and i'm
portant decision ever handed down by
the United States Supreme Court. 1t
makes marriage entered into subse-
Quent to such n separation illegal.
1t is estimated that at least 10000
children are made illegitimate by the
opinion. These are the offspring OF
marriages based on divorces granted
where but one of the parties resided in
the state issuing the decree of separa-
tion.
AS Justice Holmes says in dissent
ing opinion, it will illegitimatize many
children and set aside many existing
conditions. In its scope and import
ance too much weight cannot be at
tached TO the decision. The decision
Is, briefly thus: No state can dissolve
a marriage unless both parties to the
divorce suit are residents OF the state,
and any marriage subsequent to a di,
vorce granted upon an application OF
this kind Is void.
In its ramifications and widespread
interest it is the most important decis'
ion ever rendered by the United States
Supreme Court upon this subject.
The case is that of John w. Had
dock against Harriet Haddock, di'
vorce proceeding instituted in the
courts of New York. The decision is
in favor of the woman. The Haddocks
were married in 1868 and the husband
claimed to have been an unwilling par
ticipant to the ceremony. He says in
81, 20 rfNpn nj n n
that he left her Immediately after the
marriage rites were performed and
during all the time that has intcrvened
ha seen her only three times.
In 1881 he secured a divorce in the
state of Connecticut, where he then re-
sided, and in 1852 was married to an
other woman. The New York Supreme
Court held the second marriage cere'
mony to be Illegal, decreed the first
wife to be still the legal wife and di'
rected Haddock to pay her an annuity
of $3.50. That finding was sustained
by Yesterdays 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 di'
vorce proceeding resides has no right
to dissolve marriage tie which all
other state must respect. Justices
Harlan, Brewer and Brown united In
a dissenting opinion, which was dellv'
cred by Justice Brown. They took the
position that the Connecticut divorce
proceeding was regular and is entitled
to due credence in other states.
Justice Brown declared in his opin'
ion that the court had taken back
ward step in this decision.

JAPANESE eANTAMs.
Wonderful Types Into Which They
Are Bred.

The craze for producing diminutive
fowls has led the fancier outside the
realms of mere reproduction In minia'
ture of the larger types, says Country
Life in America. 1t has resulted in the
actual creation of bantam types which
are individual in character-that
to to say, they do not represent
any larger type. These are called
variety bantams. The ideals in
these cases are purely arbitrary
and are simply modelled accord
ing to ones ideas OF beauty. Each type
is law unto itself. The peculiar
characteristics of the different indi-
viduals, or even nations, may thus be
carried into their fancy poultry.
Perhaps no more striking illustra-
tion of this idea could be cited than
the Japanese bantams. What we have
come to understand as Japanese art
clear-cut in Its color combinations
we see carried out in remarkably char
acteristic style in these birds. They
are strikingly distinct from any other
group. One of the most noticeable.
characteristics, giving an immediate
feeling of quaintness, is the extreme
shortness OF the legs. A flrst-class
specimen, indeed, should not show any
limb whatever when walking, delu'
sion which is greatly helped by the
profusion of feather with which the
bird Is endowed. The tail is very
largely developed, the feathers stand
ing erect as high as the head or
higher and often touching the back of
the neck. The wings are very large,
reaching right down to the ground,
helping materially to convey the idea
of a legless bird.

Extent of Burnt Area.

San Francisco-The fire having eX-
hausted itself with the exception OF
the still flaming embers in thou
sand places here and there through
the burned district, the Associated
Press. for the purpose of determining
with accuracy the boundaries of the
conhagration. sent out an automobile
Sunday which skirted the fire on its
four sides. The register of this ma
chine at the end of the trip showed
that it had travelled twenty-six miles,
which, therefore. may be taken as the
length of the line along which the
flames travelled. This area included
the financial, commercial and most OF
the densely populated portion of the

that had grown up with the progress

Much Needed Law.

After. an agitation that finally won
to its support all but the owners and
breeders OF coach horses and those
that slavishly follow fashion the New
York legislacHre has passed by a very
large majority a bill to prohibit the
docking of horses tails and the i'm
portation into the stale of horses thus
mutilated. The New York Evening
Mail says: There is no question OF
the merit and need of such a law
The docking of horses tail is
senseless abasement of Gods noblest
four footed creature. 1t is a repulsive
as well as cruel outrage upon an
animal which repays brutality with
gentleness and good service. A fire.
quent argument against an anti-docK-
ing bill has been the assumption that
it would only serve to penalize breed
ers in this state. since purchasers
would buy their horses outside the
state and bring them in. The piii
passed by the assembly the other day
forhids the importation of docKeu
horses. So far as the constitutional
ty of such a provision goes, 1t need
only be said that If the state may
prohibit the Importation of harmless
oleomargarine and of lawfully killed
game birds, 1t must certainly possess
the power to shut out MANNED beasts.
Another argument against the law
has been that spirited horse may be-
come impossible TO control If he Is

Reclamation Director.

Washington-En the House Tuesday
n bill was passed creating in the De
partment of the Interior director OF
reclamation service, who is to have
salary of $4,000 a year, to be paid out
of the reclamation fund. Until the
President appoints the director the
present official designated by the sec
retary of the interior shall have
charge. His salary of $500 year
is increased to $4,000 a year. One OF
the reasons for appointing the director
at this time is to give the reclamation
service legal status. From now on
1t is understood the work will progress
at much more rapid rate than hereto
fore.
The scarcity of labor in the North
west, the increase in the price of ma
terials, and also in the rate of wages,
has caused great delay in carrying out
government reclamation projects.

Observation-Disclosures
Camped Out in Parks.

San Francisco, April 21.-Among the
homeless hundreds now being shell
tered at Jefferson Square, conditions
are as admirable as they could be un-
der the awful circumstances. The re-
lief committee has supplied every suf-
ferer with food, blankets have been
supplied and many tents are in place.
At Golden Gate Park. where there
are camped probably the greatest num-
Der of refugees, conditions to-day are
improved. No estimate of the num-
ber of people in the park can be made
at this time. but a canvass is being
made by the military authorities.
In the Central hospital at the Pre-
sidio 700 patients are being cared for
in the wards. Many of these patients
were removed to the hospital from
public and private hospitals in various
parts of the city. Several hundred
persons were attended to yesterday
and to-day for contusions, abrasions,
burns and minor injuries.
Seven deaths have occurred at the
General hospital at the Presidio.
In the Children's hospital on Cali
fornia street number of severely in
jured have been treated.
Several smaller hospitals in the
Western addition are caring for large
numbers of injured people.
In the Preside over 10000 people
are being sheltered in 1000 tents. A
constant stream of wagons and pedes-
trians is entering and leaving the res
ervation. Vehicles of every descrip-
tion are being utilized to carry house
hold effects and provisions and alto
gether generally satisfactory condi-
tions prevail. The commissary depart
ment is caring amply for the people
within the reservation and those per
sons who reside close by.
