Especial Dispatch to The Silver s.ate)
,AsHINGTON. April IA tre-
w mendous sensation has been
caused all over the country by the
decision OF the United States supreme
court which makes null and void thou
sands Of divorces ard causes many di-
vorced persons who have married again
TO be bigamists.
The decision renders thousands of chl.-
dren nlegitimate and causes chaot.c c
condition in thousands of homes
throughout the country
In brief the decision is to the effect
that divorce secured In one state whi E
the defendant is living in another state
is not binding and any person obtaining
such divorce and marrying again is
guilty Of bigamy.
The decision was handed down by Jus
tice White in the case of John w Had
dock vs. Harriet Haddock, divorce
proceeding decided in favor of the wo-
man by the New York courts.
The Haddocks were married in 1865.
In 1881 he secured divorce IN the s,ate
OF Connecticut where he then resided.
and in 1852 was married there to another
woman.
The New York supreme court held the
Connecticut marriage to be Illegal, de-
creed the first wife To be still the legal
wife and directed Haddock to pay her
an annuity of $3.50.
That finding was sustained by the SUI
preme court decision. which held that
Mrs. Haddock was without the jurlsdic-
tion OF the Connecticut court.
Justices Harlan. Brewer and Brown
united I'm dissenting opinions, which were
delivered by Justice Brown.
They took the position that the Con-
necticut divorce proceeding was regular
and is entitled to due credence in other
states.
Justice Brown declared in his opinion
that the court had taken a backward
step In this direction.

AN FRANCISCO, April H.-"The
- people of Winnemucca can rest as
- sured that the Western Pacific will
go no other way than through Winnie
mueca MOREOVER. IF THE PEo-
PIE OF WINNEMUCCA SHOW THE
PROPER SPIRIT TOWARD THE
ROAD, THAT TOWN WILL BE MADE
A TERMINAL POINT"
So declared leading official of the
Western Pacific Railroad to your CORE
spondent today. when ne was told of the
rumors that are being spread about
Winnemucca.
'It is foolish for anyone TO believe that
the road will go south of Winnemucea,
ing" continued this official. whose name
is being withheld at his request. 1T
isn't at all reasonable to think that the
Western Pacific win desert its natural
path, and one that presents every facility
in the matter of water. good grade, ETC.
in order to go to the south of Winne-
mucca through country that offers no
water and presents the problem of a
heavy grade.
"Winnemucca will be the most inn
portant point on the Western Pacific in
the state of Nevada, unless AS l said
before. the people OF the toy.~ do not
show a disposition to do their part in
the mater If they will meet the
Western Pacific half way, the result will
be that Winnemucca will be made a ter
minal and large shops will be built
