The yells could be heard several blocks,

LOOKING FOR THE PONCE.
No Way of Recalling Revenue Cut.
tiers Now at Sea.

The officers of the revenue cutter service
Treasury Department, would like to be
able to reach the three cutters which are
cruising at SEA in search of the steamer
Ponce, in order to tell them that the
steamer IL safe and that they can return
to their stations. All the vessels have
big supplies of coal aboard, and have in
structions to cruise until the fuel is ex-
hausted, unless they learn something of
the ship One of the cutters put aboard
a fifteen days supply of coal at Norfolk
yesterday, and sailed only an hour or two
before the news came of the arrival of
the Ponce at Bermuda and unless some
means is found to get word to her of the
safety of the ship it is probable she will
remain at sea the entire fifteen days The
finding and recall of the cutters would
be greatly simplified if they We're equipped
with wireless telegraph outfits, but with
the exception of one cutter on the Pacific
coast none of the cutters has the wireless
aboard. 1t is understood that vessels
sailing from this country, that may fall
in with one or the other of the cutters
will be asked to tell them that they can
return to their stations 1t is proba Bile
that this circumstance will be used as
argument with Congress to induce an
appropriation for the fitting out of the
vessels of the revenue cutter service with
some system of wireless telegraphy.

UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Justice Barnard Hears Arguments in
Seeley Case.

Justice Barnard has heard arguments of
counsel in the habeas corpus case involv-
Ing the custody of the ten-year-old boy
j. Bromley Seeley. son of DIR. Franklin H.
Seeley of Chicago and Blanche l.. Seeley
of this city.
The petition filed by DR.. Seeley set up
that he and the mother of the boy were
married in, this city in 1894 that for five
years prior to May g. 1903 they lived to-
gether man and wife in the city of Chi
Cago, on which day Mrs. Seeley left Chi
cagO and came here, bringing with her the
boy. on the 18th of May, 1893. Dr. Seeley
instituted in the superior court of Cook
county, Illinois, suit for divorce against
his wife. alleging wilful desertion on her
part Tor d period of two years prior there
TO- She thereafter appeared by counsel
In the divorce suit and was represented at
every stage of the proceedings. November
-. 100. a decree was entered in the case
divorctng the parties and awarding the
custody of the child to Mrs Seeley for
eleven months in the year and % Dr. See
ley during the month of July of each year
Mrs. Seeley having refused to surrender
the boy to the father during the month of
July, the original decree was amended
July u, 1906, and December S, 1906 award
ing the custody Of the child TO the father
until the 3lst of December 1907 Demand
was again made on Mrs. Seeley for the
surrender of the boy, which demand was
met with a refusal by her.
The answer of Mrs Seeley set forth that
at the time of the institution of the di-
VoTce proceedings and the rendition of the
DEGREES she and the child were without
the territorial limits of the Chicago court
and that therefore that court was without
jurisdiction to pass any binding decree af-
fecting the custody of the child. This con-
tention was made by her counsel in argu-
ment.
Counsel for DR.. Seeley contended that
the Chicago court, having by the Illinois
statutes acquired jurisdiction of the sub
jet matter and having acquired jurisdic-
tiOn Of the defendant by her voluntary an
pearance by counsel, its Jurisdiction was
complete. and hence 1t was within the
power of that court to pass u decree af-
fectins the custody of the minor child and
that such decree was entitled in this turis-
dction TO full faith and Great under the
provisions of the Constitution.
DE. Seeley was represented by Attorneys
IL Prescott Galley and Barry Mohun and
Mrs. Seeley's interests were looked after
10y Attorney Henry r. Davis.
AT the conclusion of the arguments JUS
tee Barnard took the matter under ad-
vsement. stating that he would announce
his opinion at a later day.

SALARIES OF CLERKS.
Topic of Debate by Students of Law
School

1t was decided that clerks in the ella ssified
civil service should be granted 20 per cent
increase in salaries at the National Cniver-
sity Law School debate last evening. S. w.
Finch, j. H. Anderson and w. c. Black up
held the affirmative and E. A. Brand, T. w.
Bramhall and C. A. Gwinn argued for the
negative. C. b. Hidden. L. A. Girkman
and T. NJ. Baker acted as judges and award
ed first honors to Mr.. Gwinn and second
honors to Mr. Finch. Mr.. Bramhall, for the
negative. said that if the expression the
man with the nerve should succeed is true,
the government clerks surely ought to re-
ceive the increase in pay, for" he de-
ciared, their demand is case of unquali-
fed gall The affirmative based their ar
gument on the excessive cost of living in
Washington and the inadequacy of COM
pensation for the services rendered by the
clerks
In defense of the men and women who
have grown old in the service, it was argued
by the affirmative that they have given the
better part of their lives to the service of
their government and it would be unfair
and unjust for the government, If it did not
pension them to deprive them of their only
means of livelihood.
