HUNDREDS oF DVoRcEs ILLEGAL

Decision Of U. s. Supreme Court Paves
Way For All Kinds Of Complications.
Chicago, April 1S.-It is estimated
by Chicago lawyers that the decision
of the supreme court of the United
States holding illegal all divorces ex
cept where both parties to the suit
resided within the same jurisdiction
will make Illegal 500 divorces that
have been granted in this city alone
and pave the way for all manner OF
complications in the next generation
over inheritance and the rights ol
property.
Several prominent attorneys declare
that the decision means chaos in re
gard to the title to personal property
Complications will arise, particularly
in the cases of men who remarked
after obtaining divorces now held tc
be illegal. Property held by men SC
divorced and so remarked must go to
children of the first marriage and can.
not be held by children born of the
subsequent marriage.
Created Sensation in Divorce Colony
Sioux Falls. S. D., April 1S.-The
United States supreme court decision
in the Haddock divorce case created
a sensation here among members Of
the divorce colony. Attorneys inter
ested in the South Dakota divorce laws
declared themselves not prepared al
this time to state what effect the deci
sion will have in Dakota. However.
it is believed that regardless of the de
cision the present members of the col
ony will not abandon their intention
to secure divorces.

Advocates Inherltanes Tax.

II Is important to this people to grap-
pie with the problems connected with the
Rmassing Of enormous fortunes. and the
use Of those fortunes. both corporate and
Individual. in business. We should dis
criminate in the sharpest way between
fortunes well won and fortunes IN won:
between those gained in an incident to
performing great services to the COM
muity rs 4 whole. and those gained in
evil fashion by keeping just within the
limits of mere law honesty. OF course,
no amount of charity in spending for
tunes in any way compensates for mis-
conduct In making them ASS matter
OF personal conviction. and without pre-
tending to discuss the details or formu-
late the system, feel that we shall ulti-
mately have to consider the adoption OF
some such scheme es that of progress
sive tax on all fortunes. beyond a cer-
tain amount either given in life or de-
vised or bequeathed upon death to any
lndlNidual-a tax so framed as to put
it out of the power of the owner of one
of these enormous fortunes to hand over
more than a certain amount to any one
individual; the tax, of course, TO be i'm
posed by the national and not the state
government. Such taxation should. OF
course be aimed merely at the Inherit
ance or transmission in their entirety Of
these fortunes swollen beyond all healthy
limits.
Again, the national government must
in some form exercise supervision over
corporations engaged in interstate busi-
ness-and all large corporations are en-
gagged in interstate business-whether by
license or otherwise so as to permit US
to deal with the far-reaching evils Of
over capitalization. This year we are
making beginning In the direction Of
serious EFFORT to settle some of these eco
nOmic problems by the railway-rate leg
islation.
The first requisite in the public ser
wants who are to deal in this shape with
corporations. whether as legisltOrs or as
executives. is honesty. This honesty can
be no respector Of persons. There can be
no such thing as unilateral honesty The
danger is not really from corrupt corpo-
rations; it springs from the corruption

but six of the prisoners in Jail had

Dispute About Zion City.
Chicago, April 18.-All negotiations
looking to a peaceful settlement of the
question as to who shall control Zion
City and its vast resources are broken
of. John Alexander Dowie, through
his attorneys. Emil c. Wetten and P.
G. Haley, threw down the gauntlet to
General Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva
and his followers when a proposition
advanced by Voliva to the effect that
the S2O,000,000 estate be turned over
to board of control was rejected by
Dowie. According to the provisions Of
this proposition, the board was to con-
sist Of nine members, four of them to
be selected by Dowie and a like num-
Der by Voliva. The ninth man was to
be selected by the board as created. It
was stipulated that both Dowle and
Voliva be active members Of this
board and that the action OF the men,
bers thereof be final in determining
whether or not the deposed First
apostle" or Voliva be the recognized
head Of the Christian Catholic church.
Dowie rejected the proposal on the
Grounds that not only would he not
acquiesee in the appointment of Vo-
iiva on the board, but that he no longer
recognized the new leader as a mem
Der OF the church.

of Devastation.

Naples, April 16.-The somewhat
threatening condition of Mount Vesu-
vius Saturday night having subsided
with the election Of enormous clouds
of sand and. ashes, the elements have
begun to settle slowly, again envelop-
ing the mountain in a thick haze and
cutting OFF the view from Naples, only
the outline of the base being visible.
The gravity of the situation has now
shifted to Ottajano and San Giuseppe,
where the recovery of the dead from
the debris goes on amid the misery of
thousands Of homeless refugees. A
sensational development occurred dur
ing the work Of salvage at OttajanO,
when the searchers unearthed two
aged women, still alive but speechless,
after six days entombment. They were
among the hundreds who were crush.
ed beneath the falling walls during the
rain Of stones and ashes last Sunday
and Monday Hope had been abandon.
ed of finding any Of these persons
alive. The women were protected by
the rafters of the house which they
were in and had managed to exist on
a few morsels of food which they had
in their pockets.
The loss to property by the volcanic
outbreak is estimated at S2O,000,000,
