The striking feature OF tOday's debate
IN the Senate during the consideration OF
the District Of Columbia approximation
oiH was an attack made upon the
Soard Of Charities by Senator Hale Of
Maine The criticisms Of Mr. Hale were
echoed by Senator Teller OF Colorado
and Mr. Gallinger. who argued for the
retention Of the provision Mr.. Hale
soGsht 70 eliminate. excused rather than
defended the conduct Of the board.
The discussion arose upon the provis-
ions OF appropriation for charities. In
he House bill lump sun was appro-
priated- which was 20 be expended
among The charities wholly at its discre-
uon. The senate amendment restored
the old rule and made separate ap9ro-
priauons for each % the charities. Mr..

Young Woman Who Deserted It

Wins Decision.
Special TO The journal.

Special to The journal.
Des Moines, Oct. 26.-The Iowa SUI
preme court ventured into a lady 8
poudoir yesterday and determined That
she has a right to wear any kind or
corset she desires, appear in what
ever made tights she WISHES before The
footlights, OF wear half or full-length
hose, as may best suit her fancy.
It was in the case Of the Gossard
Corset company against Helene 9. Cros-
by for $4,000 because it set up that
the young woman had jumped a con-
tract to wear it's corsets in demonstrate,
ing and had gone to wearing straight
fronts' The supreme court affirmed
the lower court, which held she had
right to wear whatever she pleased.
The opinion is written by Justice
Weaver. Helene s defense was that. the
company insisted upon having man
advance agent for her whose character
and reputation she did not know. ~
In his opinion Justice Weaver re-
viewed the case Of another court where
Lillian Russell jumped a theatrical con.
tract because she said the tights she
was compelled to wear were too cold
and where an injunction was granted
against her appearing with another
company. Justice Weaver says that de-
cision was an uncharitable conclu.-
sion,0 and maintains that Lillian had
right to choose her apparel.

- Norfolk, Va, Oct. 26.-Gounting the
minutes, which to them seemed to be
but few, intervening between them and
death, bruised, bleeding, hungering and
athirst, five men adrift on bit OF
wreckage off the Florida coast saw one
of their companions whose sufferings
had driven him mad. throw himself into
the sea to death, and not long after,
ward ship which was coming saved
their lives.
The five survivors Of one Of the
greatest tragedies which has ever oc;,
CURED on this coast have been landed
here by the steamer Hcatherpole. -,
They, with about 145 others, were
constructing a concrete viaduct for the
Florida East Coast railway, thru the
Florioa keys, and were aboard, a house,
boat. The great hurricane which swept
over the coast struck the houseboat
about 1 am Oct 13 and the boat broke
adrift. Soon afterwards it foundered
and ll-of the $50 men aboard were
thrown into the sea. Six men lashed
together two timbers, and lived on this
frail raft until rescued, with the ex.
ception Of the man who became mad
from suffering and injury and threw
himself into the sea.

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 & 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
ment of Jonathan d. Price, president OF
the Cooperative Construction Com
pany, which was organized to build the
road, the line will be 742 miles long, or
200 miles shorter than any steam road
now connecting the two cities. Part OF
the line already has been surveyed.
The first section of the road to be built,
according to the promoters, will 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
paid to whether the line runs through
large Clues VI uOl- AS uON SUI NSS GU
the road will be eight miles south of
South Bend Indiana, and at that point
it is proposed to build a 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 it is
proposed to run freight trains at night.
Details as to the kind of cars to be
used have lot been thoroughly worked
out, according to F. H. Wood, law
yer of Oak Park, Illinois, who 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
will be, and he mentioned the fact that
on a specially constructed roadbed
electric trains there have been oper-
ated at 131 miles an hour.

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
Thousands of ChiIdren IlIeoitim ate

thousands OF Cniloren llleqitlmate.
Washington. = CONSERVATION is ex-
pected to seize scores of prominent
men and women who have obtained di-
vorces of the South Dakota type as a
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 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 it's 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 ramiticationS 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, a 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
his answer to the woman's complaint
that he left her Immediately after the
marriage rites were performed and
during all the time that has interviewed
ha seen her only three times.
In 1881 he secured a divorce in the
state of Connecticut, where he then re-
sided, and in 1882 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 $780, 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
state in which only one party to oil
voyce 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 deliv'
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 opfn-
| ion that the court had taken back
ward step in this decision.

What Tuskeqee is Doing.

Tuskegee Institute will complete
this year the first twenty-five years OF
its existence, writes Booker 7. Wash
ington in the April Worlds Book. 1t
was opened July 4, 1881, with one
teacher and thirty pupils. At that time
1t had neither land or buildings, moth
ing but the $4,000 a year granted by
the Alabama Legislature. Even the di-
lapidated shanty and the old church in
which its first sessions were con
Quoted were lent by the colored people
of the village.
1t was not long, however, before the
school acquired a small tract of land.
The first piece of live stock which it
became possessed of was an old blind
mule, the gift of white man in the
neighborhood. This represented the
capital of the school.
At the close of the school year last
May it owned 1000 acres of land
eighty-three buildings, large and small
used as dwellings, dormitories, class
rooms, shops and barns, which, to-
gether with the equipment, live stock,
stock in trade and other personal prop
erty, were valued at about 1881, ,S95.32
This does not include $4,000 acres of
public land remaining unsold from the
25,000 granted by Congress valued at
S135, 200, nor the endowment fund
which amounted January l, 1906, to
s1,275,664.

Reclamation Director.

washington.-In the House Tuesday
a bill was passed creating in the De-
partment of the Interior a director of
reclamation service, who is to have a
salary of $4,000 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 $1,000 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
it 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.
