PAY OF LEGISLA
TORS.

Now at last, in view of the large
increase in the expenses of mainten-
ance, seems to have come a time when
is fully justified an augmentation of
legislative salaries. A constitutional
amendment is necessary to render ef-
fective the proposed change, and thus
the question must go to the electorate
for solution. Before that tribunal
fear may well be felt regarding the
result. Voters proverbially are of
conservative, economical tendencies;
but when, into careful consideration
is taken existing circumstances, there
really should be no doubt of the
nature of the decision.
Not only are living expenses greater
than ever before. but sessions are
longer, and senators and assembly
men are now deprived of those free
transportation privileges by means of
which they were enabled in the old
days to travel freely between home
and capital giving personal attention
to private business at one place and
to public duty at the other. Today
many members perhaps accompanied
by wives, come to Madison in early
January and remain throughout the
entire winter. at a cost easily equal
ling, if not exceeding the salaries due
for Official services. Such a situa-
ton must often imply additional ex-
penditures at the home end for help
rendered necessary by the absence OF
the master
If il is the design of the common
wealth that its lawmakers shall OBJ
tain compensation at least sufficient
for simple maintenance while engaged
in the service it is obvious that the
time is here when a change in the
constitutional limitation of $500 is
Imperative.

IOWA COURT RELEASES HER
FROM MARITAL BONDS.
PEOPLE COME TO RESCUE
Husband Sold Her With Laundry but
She Objected and Sought the
Courts-CoupIe Married Several
Years Ago-onIy Case Ever Known
in Iowa.

Britt, Ia, March 1S.-The news OF
this place has had the distinction OF
publishing an original notice the like
of which has never appeared in any
other newspaper in the state, being
the notice of divorce proceedings
brought by Mrs. May Pond Fong Tin
against Fong Ting.
Mrs. Fong Tin was brought to Amer.
lea when she was only IL years old
and was educated in a missionary
school. She finally drifted to Vinton,
this state, and there married Fong
Tin, laundryman. The marriage was
what is termed common law mar
riage and the ceremony was according
to the Chinese custom, without a Ii.
cense They came from vinton to
Britt eight years ago and lived peace
fully together until four years ago
when Fong Tin sold his laundry to an
ether Chinaman and, according to
Chinese custom, also bargained to sell
his wife. When the purchaser tried
to enforce the bargain Mrs Fong Tin
objected, and when the citizens of
Britt were informed of the situation
and learned the particulars. the Chi
naman- was glad to get out of town
with a sore head and lucky to have
Jared no worse. Mrs. Fong Tin has
since conducted the business, and her
husband has never returned.
In order to protect her property
and make transfers if she desired
Mrs. Fong Tin made application for a
divorce The decree was granted and
Mrs Fong Tin will now drop the Tin
and hereafter be known as Miss May
Pond Fong. She is an intelligent, in
dustrious little woman, is a Christian
and is trying to conform to American
ways.

LIBERALS PROTEST AGAINST

Havana, March 1.-THE liberal
party has protested officially to Gov

ton Is that the members OF the rural
guard are constantly in contact with
Tire people and often are detailed "a

strength is sufficient for police duties
Any increase would mean excessive
vigilance, which would result in irii-
tation among the people.

Of augmenting the rural guards the

Wheeling, Va, March 17.-Eighteen
persons are known to have lost their
lives in the fire that occurred early
Saturday at the plant of the Warwic X
Pottery company in the flooded distric...
Nearly all the dead are s,yrians.
Because of the water surrounding
the burned district it was impossible
for fire apparatus to reach the scene
Eiremen pressed into service all the
boats that could be secured and car
ried lines OF hose to the burning build
ing by this means.
Had the drowned persons remained
in their homes, none of them would
have met death. The builuings occll-
ped by the victims were not touched
by the flames. The explosion that
started the fire is what terrified the
people living in the vicinity.
No sooner had the report of the ey-
plosion occurred than people com
menced leaping from windows into the
water. Not ali those who met death
were drowned by jumping into the wa
ter. Five were drowned by the upset
ting OF boats into which they had
jumped.
