THE BOY AND DOG|

Yesterday there appeared In the Ore,
gonian, over the signature "A. A. G."
one OF those masterpieces Of human In
terest literature, that infrequently
creep into the gNat bustling records Of
the day as presented by papers Of that
ealihre. AMI the Astorian reproduces it
gladly for the inherent truth and beauty
of the story, as well as the graceful
and tender handling Of it. IT will pay
abundantly for the moments devoted
to it, Nading:
"a dog was killed tragically in our big
building yesterday. He was caught in
the elevator shaft between the cage and

Evidently the speed mania infects
engineers on passenger trains as well
as the owners of automobiles, and it is
reported that the Burlington road will
put cyclometers on the engines to see
that the trains do not exceed the speed
limit Of fifty miles per hour. Years
ago, and even in recent years, the en-
gineer who made run and lowered the
time was considered hero, and the
boys got to going so fast that the Of
ficials Of the road called a halt. Only
few months ago an engineer made q
phenomenal run between Burlington and
Chicago, but instead Of receiving the
usual praise he was warned not to do

UN-LYING TESTIMONY.

The American Protective Tariff
League is bitterly detested by the free
traders of this country, who neglect
no opportunity to take fling at it's
publications, but the gentlemen
ducting the. affairs of the institution
literally makes such papers as the New
York Times turn themselves inside
out. The latest nut presented to that
and other journals Of its way Of think
ing to crack is continuation of its
successful "Uncle Sans Balance
Sheet" which made such a hit in the
second Mckinley campaign and that of
1904 This document is got out in the
form Of big yellow poster, on which
is just such information as the voter
requires in large type and figures. 1t
is the best "stand pat' argument ever
framed, showing in the most indisputa-
bic fashion that prosperity has always
attended upon the liberal carrying out
of the protective policy, while hard
times and general adverse conditions
have followed the attempts of the Dem
ocrats to tinker with the tariff. A gen.
eral display Of this poster will do more
than anything else that we know Of to
convince voters that their interest lies
in letteing well enough alone. .-Ex-

THOUSANDS OF
DIVORCES
ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Delivers
a Far-Reaching
Cecis sion.

WASHINGTON, Monday, April 16.-
In an opinion by Justice White, the
Supreme Court of the United States
today decided the case of John w.
Haddock VS.. Harriet Haddock, a di-
vorce proceeding instituted in the
courts of New York City, in favor of
the woman.
The Haddocks were married in 1868,
and the husband claimed to have been
an unwilling participant in the cere-
woman's complaint, that he left her
Immediately after the marriage rites
were performed and during all the time
that has interviewed has seen her only
three times.
In 1881 he secured divorce in the
State of Connecticut, where he then re-
sided, and in 1882 was married there to
another woman.
The New York Supreme Court held
the Connecticut marriage to be illegal,
decreed 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 to-
days 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
tos.dissolve 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

concluded that the Board resolved it

defendant was present, and said he
would not answer further than by the
demurrer fled by his attorney. As the
Chairman of the Board was deciding
the correctness of the demurrer, and
oyerruling each section as he came to
it, defendant walked out and had to be
sent for and requested to remain until
the reading was over.
The demurrer being overruled, the
chair asked if defendant was ready to
go ahead and Attorney Achi replied in
the affirmative

SCIENTISTS On
CAUSES Of
TEMBLOR
Folding of Earth's Crust
Underneath San
Francisco.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Prof. Louis
Yale headquarters for the department
of physiography and physical geogra-
ply. today discussed the earthquake in
San Francisco. He said: They seem
to have earthquakes in California more
or less every year but none of them
of course have reached such a degree
of severity this is reported to have
done. The whole configuration of the
California coast shows that there viii
continue to be earthquakes in that
region
1T would be the part of prudence to
put up buildings with that condition
in view. That has been done to some
extent and it will be most interesting
and instructive to note how well the
batting shocks of earthquakes will sur
vive today's catastrophe. In Japan
buildings are put up with that in view.
In fact an imperial commission was
appointed some time ago 10 1nVeStlSdte
the most practicable kind of buildings
to erect for that country, where they
have more and more severe shocks.
LAS land as the japanese lived in
bamboo houses the danger from earth
quakes was slight. but now that the
race is concentrating more in towns
and Duttino I'm larger houses the oueS-
ton is serious.
