PHILADELPHIA, Nov %. - Mrs.

divorce by her husband. +. Augustus
Hartje, the Pittsburg millionaire, won
a complete victory in the Pennsylvania
superior court here when that tribunal
affirmed in its entirety the decision Of
the Allegheny county court, which re-
fused to grant Hartje a divorce.
The petitions filed by Hartje's attor-
neys asking the superior court TO re-
open the case on the ground Of newly
discovered evidence We're denied. The
petitions to reopen the case were based
on letters alleged TO have been written
by Mrs. Hartje and Thomas Nadine,
the family coachman, who was named
as correspondent by Hartje.
One of the letters was found months
after the separation of the couple, it
was claimed, in n pile of ashes near

Chancellor Andrews Decries
Attack on Wealth
He SCORES THE NEWSPAPERS

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. d.
Chancellor Il. Benjamin Andrews OF
the University of Nebraska was the
speaker at the first meeting OF the
year Of the forum Of the Yale Law
school. His topic was Wealthy Men
and the Public Veal
The speaker deprecated the continual
cry against the rich man just because
he Is rich and said that gross error
was that of blaming persons when
fault, II any, attaches to human nature
or to society. when you call 1t I'M
Just" he said, shat one man should
own S1,000000 instead of a thousand
owning $1,000 what you mean Is no
doubt you regard ii IA pity that the
world is so put together as to permit
such inequality. You are wild to lay
the fault to man or body of men
or to legislatures. courts or congress
Your quarrel is with God.
IL hold no brief for any among the
rich. care not straw for the rich as
such. My interest and sympathy IL
solely with general society and the
common man. And, speaking as rep,
resentatiye of the public at large, ]
urge that the pride, idlencss and doubt.
full practice OF few rich are no just
cause for putting all rich men in pill
lory. The possession OF wealth, how.
ever great, furnishes by itself no pre-
sumption against the owners perfect
probity. If man can fraudlessly be.

power not only as easily but more cas-.
lily secure 100000. 100000, 100000,
$1,O00,000 or S100O00,O00."
Chancellor Andrews stated that he
was no advocate or attorney for the
rich or for any among them. "What !
say is prompted by desire for the com
mon good ! stand for the yeoman and
the toler. On their account | study
the rich man. How shall they be treat

crowds to be the rascals few Of them

II join any man and praise, all zeal

must be obeyed by the rich and great

ABOLISH THE FORCE
Time to Do Away With Capital Pun
ishment In Vermont.

Two persons have just been tried for
murder In this state and although the
evidence was complete, the verdict
was for second degree only, thus es-
tablishing the utter repugnance to
capital punishment in the average
Vermont juryman. 1t seems to be
only when a woman comes up that
there is any chance for conviction In
the first degree. Has not this state
of affairs gone on long enough? These
trials cost the state an immense sum
of money and attracted an immense
AMOUNT OF uuhealthful attention which
would have been wellnigh entirely
done away with had the extreme penal
ty been Imprisonment for life.
1t is too much, In these times, to
ask juryman, or a sheriff, to be the
means Of taking away persons life,
always excepting, of course. cases of
the femenine gender Now has not
the time come when we can even al.
low our dependent sisters like advan-
tage with their sturdy brothers and We
wipe this relic of barbarism off from
our statute books?

pieces 1t was photographed for the
benefit of the superior court and was,
as far as could he deciphercd. as fol-
lows:

night. ! am sick with cramps the
bed. II he is not nursing you
Good night, my love. l would write more,
but really am Don't get up ear
~ and try to see me. Bring this with
you. YOUR OLD WIFE MARY.
In considering the letter the superior
court says that 1t discovered that the
letter was never folded. If written by
Mrs. Hartje. the decision says. ut
must have been sent by third person.
It is not conceivable that this could
have been done without it having been
folded"
A dispatch from Pittsburg says that
Joy over the decision proved too much
for Mrs. Hartje. She Is reported in q
state Of collapse at Ligonier, Pa, her
temporary home since the trial.
Mrs. Hartje was called to the tele-
phone and without warning told that
the superior court had affirmed the
findings Of the lower court and that
she had won complete victory. She
turned pale and swayod toward a
chair, saying:
"I've won. oh, how happy / am!
Please send word to my father"
Then she broke into hysterical Sob
bing and sank helplessly to the floor.
Immediately following the receipt OF
the decision in Pittsburg a conference
was held by Hartje, his brother, Alter.
nsy Edward Hartje, and others OF his
counsel. Mr.. Harue refused to make
any comment. ]. Scott Ferguson, one
of his attorneys, after the conference
said: There will, be no let-up in fight
ing this case to finish. We are TAX
ing steps to appeal to the supreme
court from the decision of the superior
court and we are confident of ultimate
victory"

With this quotation Mr. Baker con
cluded his cross examination. and Mr..
Powers began the redirect examina-
ton.
Mr.. Powers read at greater length
than Mr.. Baker had done Mrs. Brad
ley's letter to Brown in which she had
referred to his jealousy Of her as fol.
lows:
First and last like to be with you.
believe you love me, and really be-
lieve you were never fonder of any
one than of me- really believe this
curse is judgment on us for never
having loved more kindly. Instead of
wasting breath on Schroeder. Mcclure,
Evans and the priest we should sip
life's nectar" etc. He also quoted
from the same letter the passage re-
garding Mrs. Browns prefer of friend
ship. The letter closed:
ooh, l don't know what is to be-
come of me- The world may desert me,
but without your love and affection the
world would be blank"
Mrs. Bradley declared Browns jeal-
ousy Of these men was not justified.
In another letter written In May,
1903. Mrs. Bradley again referred to
her relations with Senator Brown. y
am wondering" she wrote, "if you ara
being true. Are you? l am loving
Won Ms intentlv ms my nature allows
or demands, and l also want to feel
your arms around me and hear your
loving words Are you asking for di-
vorce" she asks, suddenly breaking
off, and, continuing In that line, pro
ceeds, IF not, when will you beginY'
When the relations between herself
and Senator Brown first became known
to Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bradley said that
the senator instantly advised her to
say nothing and deny everything.
Major Samuel A. King and Colonel M
M. Kaighn, both Salt Lake City attor-
neys who had interviewed Mrs. Brad.
ley for Senator Brown in 1902 with the
object Of getting her to compromise with
him for money consideration, testi-
fed that she had refused to do so.
Colonel Kaighn said that Mrs. Brad
ley had told him the entire story Of
her relationship with Brown and had
Insisted that when he first began to
make advances toward her she re-
PEELED him.

Appeal Of State Tax Commissioned
From Probate Court Decree.

Brattleboro. Nov 21.--The end OF
the November term OF Supreme court
was reached this afternoon. Two cases
were heard today, an important one
being the appeal of J. Il. Cushman of
Burlington, State commissioner of
taxes, from the decree of the pro
bate court at Hartford in ease in
volving the estate of Alice Howard
who died three years ago. She held
mortgages ON real estate located with
out this state and the proceeds
amounting to about $4,000, were dis

appeared for the estate, and Mr.. Cush-
man conducted his own case.
