New Hampshire Association Meets.

A meeting Of the New Hampshire Asso-
citation was held yesterday evening at its
headquarters. and an address by Mr.. Pull
sifer was the feature Of the entertain
ment. Mr.. Pulsifer took for his theme
the new transatlantic steamship Lusi-
tania, and after describing that fine YES
sci he gave an outline of the advance
made by the Cunard company in trans
oceanic navigation, from the nine-knot
Britannia of 1910 to the present ocean
flyers.
The speaker expressed the opinion that
the necessity imposed upon our navy, in
making the proposed cruise to the Pa
cific. to depend upon foreign ships for it's
coal supply, was reflection on American
shipping enterprise, and he believed that
if the United States should subsidize its
ships, as has Great Britain, it might be
at the head of the world in shipping
Misses Violet and Antoinette Wilmer en-
tertained with musical selections, and the
humorous Rotations of H. r. Fulton
were also greatly enjoyed.

was urged to permit his name to stand
at the head Of the association. Dur
ing the evening refreshments were served.

says he will contest the claim of
the mother to the custody of the
child, and says he intends institu-
ting proceedings for a decree of

defense and a session of court was

WaShburn Man
Seeks His Wife.

quite a sensation was sprung IN
the city Monday evening when
man by the name of Joseph War
field arrived from Washburn, this
state, and claimed that his wife
and baby were living with R. &.
Morley, the garage man. War
field tried to have warrand issued
for the arrest Of Morley but the
local justice, on the advice of At.
>torney Cady, would not issue
warrant and the authorities at
Glendale were notified.
States Attorney Cassels ..and
Sheriff Drew arrived on Tuesday
night and investigated the case
and late yesterday afternoon a
warrant was issued for the arrest
of Morley on the charge of unlaw-
full cohabitation and sheriff Drew
brought the defendent before JUS
tice Pannebaker for examination.
The story of Warfeld. as given
to The Times, is substantially as
follows: His wife had been ailing
for some time. and thru the helq
of the county autorities enough
money was raised to send her to
her old home at Fulton, ILL.,, to
undergo a surgical operation.
Morley was going back to his old
home in the south and volunteer
ed to accompany the woman and
nurse as far as Fulton, Joe Will
let's, the town marshal. having
charge of the arrangements. The
nurse came as far Bismarck anG
then retuned to Washburn, but
would not inform Warfeld why
she did not accompany bis wife on
the trip. He had not heard from
his wife since she left, and on en-
quiry from one of the banks there
he discovered that his wife was
probably in Oakes. He came
here and found Morley, and in
company with Deputy Sheriff
Huffman went to Hotel Home,
where his baby recognized him
and called him "Papa." He then,
went to the Cakes Hospital, where
his wife was lying, having had an
operation performed Sunday, but
was refused admittance. It is said
that the woman heard his voice in
the hallway and almost went into
Mysteries. Warfeld has a mar
riage license to show that he was
married to Miss Jennie Holsinger
in November, 1901, at Thomson,
I'll. He moved to Washburn
about year ago and was engaged
in farming and lately had done odd
jobs around the town. He did not
know much about Morley. He
had come there about month be-
fore and represented himself to be
a secret service man infthe employ
of the government.
Mr.. Morley claims that the wo-
man is his wife. and that the child
is his child. He said that War
field had deserted his wife, left
her in destitute circumstances and
had a letter purporting that War
field was dead.
It seems a question for the
courts to decide. The couple have
been living here as man and wife:

The Hotel Inspection Law,


United Commercial Travellers has
recommended A. M. Anderson for
the position Of hotel inspector un-
der the law providing for the in
spection of hotels in the state.
As the bill was promoted by the
travelling men of the state, and
as they have more hotel experience
than perhaps any other class of
citizens, it is not strange that they
feel one of their number should
see to it that the sheets are clean,
the fire escapes sufficient, and the
food such as it should be. If the
state inspector of hotels sees to it
that the provisions of the law are
enforced. it seems likely a number
of the inns in the state will devote
considerable portion of the time
of their managers to installing the
appliances necessary under the
law. All hotels in the state of
over two stories in height must be
provided with iron fire escape, suf-
ficient for the safety of guests in
case of fire, and reaching the
ground from each side of hall
that must run from one side of the
building to the other. On all ho-
tells of not over two stories, there
must be provided in each room a
manila rope, fastened to the joists
or studding and capable of reach
ing to the ground and sustaining a
weight of five hundred pounds,
and directions must be posted
calling attention to the rope and
the manner of it's use. All hotel
ELEVATOR shafts must be protected
by such sheathing as will prevent
the spread of fire. All hotels must
be drained and plumbed according
to established sanitary regulations.
The state inspector of hotels is to
be appointed by the governor, with
the advice and consent of the SEN
ate, and is prohibited from solicit.
ing or selling goods or merchan-
disc for any firm or corporation.
He is to give bond of 5000 and
receive a salary of sl,S00 a year
payable monthly. The inspector
must inspect every hotel IN the
state at least once a year and see
that the provisions of the hotel
law are complied with. A certifi-
cate of inspection is to be posted,
when the fee has been paid and
the provisions Of the law are found
to be complied with. Hotels con-
tanning twenty sleeping rooms or
less must pay an inspection fee of
IS; hotels containing more than
twenty and less than fifty sleeping
rooms shall pay an inspection fee
of $40, and hotels containing fifty
or more sleeping rooms shall pay
an inspection fee of $40. Ali
fees are turned into the state urea
sury, and the inspector receives
his compensation and necessary
expenses from the fund thus Great
ed. There is also a provision for
the supplying of pure drinking
water to guests at all hotels and
the penalty for violation Of the
inspection law is a fine Of from
$40 to $50 and Imprisonment from
ten to thirty days.
