SEPARATION SUIT 4 BAR
To Aiinnony Under wires Later Divorce
Decree.


The action OF Justice Ford in the Supreme
Court in inserting in a decree of divorce
obtained by Rosa H. Byrnes against Martin
p. Byrnes clause directing Byrnes to
allow her s. week alimony for her life
or until she relnarries was ordered stricken
out yesterday by the Appellate Division
OF the Supreme Court.
The Byrneses were married in 1902 and
the following year she sued him for sepa-
ration. He replied with countersuit, 3,
and after three years OF litigation the Sill
preme Court granted him separation
and dismissed her complaint. Then she
brought her suit for divorce.
Justice Ingraham, for the Appellate
Division, says that as soon as Byrnes got
his final decree Of separation he became
free forever OF any duty to support her.
Hence, though her divorce suit was well
grounded she cannot have any claim upon
him for support, as the separation decree
debarred her from any such allowance
under any circumstances.

enterprise.
"The boxes of fruit selected from

UPPER SNAKE
COMING IDAHO LEGISLATURE IS
TO BE ASKED TO APPROPRI-
ATE $4,000 TO CARRY ON

The coming Idaho legislature will
De asked to appropriate $4,000 to
be devoted to improvement work on
the Snake river above Lewiston.
This is the portion that Idaho will
be asked to provide as its share Of
the improvement fund necessary to
be used in cooperating with the fed
eral government in preparing the
Columbia and Snake rivers for bene-
fetal traffic.
Two years ago the Oregon legis-
lature made an appropriation OF
about $4,000 to be used in the i'm
provement of the Columbia river,
and the state Of Washington appro-
priated $65,00O for improvement
work on the Snake river below Ri
paria. The state of Idaho at that
time appropriated $25,000 for this
same work, but some technical ir-
regularity has made this fund un-
available, and the state will now be
asked to provide $4,000 for the
work above Lewiston.
Last winter and at the present
time the improvement work on the
lower Snake river has been carried
on with the funds provided by the
Washing on appropriation, and nc
rart of the country will profit more
bv this Improvement than central
and northern Idaho.

the Improvement Of the Columbia

STORIES ARE LIBEL ON
THE j. 5. GOVERNMENT
PRESIDENT DENoUNCEs IN sTR0N ATTACKS MADE
UPON HIM BY EDITOR PULITZER APPARENTLY MATTER
WAS COLLECTED FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES OR WITH VIEW
OF POSITIVE BLACKMAM.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The presi-
dent today sent to the senate a
sta tement concerning the purchase
of the Panama canal by the United
States, denOuncing in strong lam
guage the charges that anything
was wrong in the acquisition of the
canal property.
The president says his attention
was brought to the matter through
articles published in the Indianapo-
lis News, edited by De]avan Smith.
and copied from the New York
world. The president severely ar
raigns Editor Pulitzer of tn World
and his papers and says that thou
sands of persons believe statements
they see printed, even though they
appear in newspapers published by
Mr.. Pulitzer"
The president says the wickedness
Of the ISLANDERS published in refer
ence to the canal are only surpassed
BY their faulty. and says:
80 utterly baseless are the
stories that apparently they represent
IN part merely material collected for
campaign purposes, and in part
stories originally concocted with a
view of positive blackmail."
The president goes into details
and points out a number of glaring
Inaccuracies in the stories and says
they are partly libels upon Mr.. w.
H. Taft and Mr.. Douglas Robinson,
''but they are in fact wholly, and in
form partly, a libel upon the United
States government. / do not believe
We should concern ourselves with
the particular individuals who wrote
the lying and libelous editorials, ar
ticles from correspondents or arti-
cles in the news columns"
The president reiterates the re-
sponsibil:ty Of Pulitzer and says he
should be prosecuted by government
authorities, and SAYS the at.orne,
general has unde considci alton the
form under which proceedings
N6dluSt TulltZeI shall NC uiou6At.
The president then reviews the
act of congress authorizing the ex-
penditure of slO,000,0O0, and says
It is no concern of the president
what the canal company did with
the money, but "that he directed oI
approved every action and is re-
sponsihle for all done in carrying out
the will of congress" The presiden'
tays that the matter was finally
closed by Attorney General Knox
then Secretary of State Hay, ant
then by Secretary of War Root, WHIT
was cognizant of all the essential de
tails.
IF, as a matter of fact" the pres
ldent explains, "the canal company
either or both had been owned b,
American citizens or by citizens Of
any other nationality. 1t would no
nave altered in the slightest degree
the action by this government. Ou
concern was to get the canal. r'hicl
was owned by the French company
and to see that the title was clear.
The president states that the men
y was paid through the New Yo
sanking house of J. P. Morgan 4
