IMPORTANT DECISION
BY SUPREME COURT
FAMOUS HADDocK CASE GOES
FOR DEFENDANT
Decreed That State in Which One
Party to Divorce Resides Has No
Right to Dissolve Tie Other States
Must Respect
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 16-In the opin-
ion by Justice White, the supreme court
of the United States today decided the
case of John w. Haddock versus Har-
riet Haddock, divorce proceeding in
stituted in the courts of New York
city, in favor of the woman. The
Haddocks were married in 1868, and the
husband claimed to be an unwilling
participant in the ceremony. He says
in his answer to the Woman'S complaint,
that he left her Immediately after the
marriage rites were performed and dur
ing all the time that has intervened
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 superior court held
the Connecticut marriage to be illegal
and 'decreed the first wife to be still
the legal wife, and directing him to pay
her an annuity of $3.50. That finding
was sustained today, the decision hold
ing that Mrs Haddock was without the
jurisdiction of the Connecticut courts,
Justice Whites Reason
Justice White, in deciding the case,
laid down the general principal that a
state in which only one party to a di-
vorce proceeding resides, has no right
to dissolve a marriage tie which all
other states must respect.
Justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown
united in dissenting opinions which
were delivered 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 opinion
that the court had taken a backward
step in this direction.
Justice Holmes also dissented from
the decision of the court, but delivered
an independent opinion. He said the
result of the decision would be to il
lligitmatizing many children, but added
that he would not go so far as to pre-
dict that civilization would come to
an end whatever the conclusion in the
case.

| BY Associated greSS.
| NEW YORK, April 16.-Maxim Gorky
and his woman companion were not
found by newspaper men in this city
yesterday. Their baggage, it was as
certained, was shipped to Chicago on
a morning train, and there was some
reason to believe they had gone on the
same train with the baggage, together
with Nikolay Pieschoff, Gorky's
adopted son.
After being turned away from the
Lafayette Brevoort hotel on Saturday
evening they went to a socialistic meet
| ing at the Grand Central palace with
the understanding that they were to
have rooms at the Rhinelander When
they got to the Rhinelander an hour
before midnight they were told by
Frank Geraty, the manager, that they
could not stay there. and their bag
gage must be removed Immediately.
Gorky, and the woman who has been
travelling with him as his wife, then
went to No. Fifth avenue, In conf
pany with Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy M.
Scott, while the baggage was sent TO
the Victoria hotel in charge Of Gorky's
adopted son.
An attempt to get rooms at the VIC
toria failed and the baggage was taken
to the Grand Central station and left
in the baggage room over night. At the
Grand Central station yesterday it was
said that the baggage had been shipped
to Chicago, but nobody would say posi-
lively whether or not Gorky and his
companions were on the train as pas

Russia Concerned

Maxim Gorky's reception in the
United States is giving the Russian
government considerable concern.
Madame Andreiva, who accompanies
him, it is said, is not his wife. She
also is a revolutionist, and M. Morosoff,
one of Moscow's merchant princes. gave
her $1,500C00 for the revolutionary
cause. When the government last sum-
mer secured proof of this fact he was
given four hours to leave Russia or
stand trial here. He fled to Paris,
where he committed suicide.

Will Teach Gorky Lesson

H. Gaylord Wiltshire, who was re-
sponsible for the appearances of the
Gorkys at the Hotel Belleclaire. said
last night that he did not know what
had become of them. He was unable
to communicate with the SCOTS or the
Gorllys yesterday.
II wanted Gorky to come to my
house." he said. IT told him that he
would not be able to get rooms in any
hotel in the city with his conventional
wife, when it was known that his real
wife and children were in Russia, and
think the trouble he Is encountering
will teach him a lesson. He will find
out that he cannot accomplish any
thing in this country except with the
aid of the Socialists"
Robert Watchorn, immigration COM
missioner said the case was no longer
In the hands of the immigration bu-
reau. 1t was up to Secretary Metcalfe
of the department of commerce and
labor at Washington. If Gorky is, as
he says, married to the actress, and
at the same time not legally separated
from his wife in Russia, then he is
liable to deportation" said the com
missioner. For both bigamy and
polygamy are under the ban of the i'm
migration laws. AS the case now
stands, we have no evidence against
Gorky or the woman who came here
as Mime. GOrky."
