ty Of the delegates that not less than
ed on the part of plaintiff who has
changed his or her domicile since the
cause of divorce arose. where juris-
diction depends on the residence of
the plaintiff.
A warm discussion was precipitated
over the following section Of the re-
port:
AN innocent and injured party,
husband or wife, seeking q divorce
should not be compelled to ask for a
dissolution Of the bonds OF matrimo-
ny, but should be allowed, at his or
her opinion, to apply for divorce from
bed and board. Therefore divorces
amensa should be retained where al
ready existing and provided for in
states where no such rights exist"
The section was vigorously opposed
by DR.. Henry C. Winton, of Trenton,

should not be granted. as 1t might
tend to bring about a wrongful mode
of life His argument was combated
by Chairman Smith, Of the committee.

a plane.
A number of women left the room

PROBE MURDER PLOT.
More Arrests Are Expected Among
Western Miners.

Publication was made at Denver,
Colo, Monday Of the complaints on
which Gov. Cooding, of Idaho, asked
reduisitions for Chas. H. Meyer, presi-
dent, and william d. Haywood, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, and M. A. Pettibone, a
former member Of the executive COM
mittee of that labor organization.
From this it appears the men who
were secretly arrested at Denver Satur-
day night and hurriedly removed 10
Idaho were charged directly with the
murder of former Gov. Frank Steu-
nenburg, of Idaho, and not merely
with being accessories to the crime.
The complaints and acquisitions in the
cases are Identical and charge the ac-
'cused men with having discharged the
bomb by means Of which Steunenburg
was killed at Caldwell Idaho, Dec. 80,
1905.
The specific charge of murder was
made, 1t is explained, in order to FORE
stall habeas corpus proceedings on De-
half of the accused men, but no at
tempt will be made to show that they
were in Idaho at the time Of the COM
mission of the crime. 1t Is alleged,
however, that they conspired with 9TH
ers to murder Steunenburg and fur
nished funds to carry out the plot. Inc
atrocious murders committed during
labor troubles In the Cripple Creek and
Telluride districts in this state, which
have been shrouded in mystery, the
earlier Cour d'Alene murders and the
more recent Steunenburg assassina-
ton, form a chais of crimes with
which efforts are being made to con-
meet the officers of the Western FEEDER
alton through the confession said to
have been made by Harry Orchard,
who is charged with the Steunenburf
murder.
This confession, it is asserted, dis
closed a plot to kill former Gov. Jas.
| II. Peabody, of Colorado; William H.
Gabbert chief justice of the Colorado
supreme court, and John Campbell, as
sociate Justice. Orchard is said to nave
confessed that wholesale assassinations
were planned at the headquarters OF
the Western Federation Of Miners IN
Denver, chiefly by refugees from the
camps at Cripple Creek and Telluride

SLAVE OF MAN SHE KILLED.
Trial of Berthe Claiche Begins in New
York.

YORK.
The trial of Berthe Claiche, % years
old, a French girl, on the charge OF
shooting and killing Emil Gerdron OF
the night of July last began at New
York Monday.
The case is an unusually pathetic
one. with an element of mystery at
tached to it. Berthe claims Gerdron
had made her his slave for six years,
during which time she said he beat
her and forced her upon the street to
earn a living for him. So impressive
was her story that the money for her
defense has been largely supplied by
contributions from the women of New
York City.
Although the girl admitted she had
killed Gerdron, the circumstances sur
rounding the shooting were SO unusual
they have given rise to charges that
members of the police force had se-
cretly urged the girl on.
