CURE FINANCIAL ILLS

Washington, d. c., Jan. l9.-After
two sessions of the Senate Commit
tee on Finance today the members of
the committee were in possession of
Il fair idea of what shape the Aldrich
financial bill will be in when it is re-
ported.
1t is said to be practically certain
that the limit of extra currency
which the bill provides for will be
raised from $3.50, 100000 to $780,
100000. Most OF the members of
the committee believe that this fig
ure Is not too hign for time of
emergency when heavy issue of cur
rency notes Is demanded on security
of the prescribed sort and under the
prescribed tax. The tax on the
emergency issues will not, 1t is be-
lieved, be placed higher than 6 per
cent, which the bill now provides.
An amendment offered by Senator
Bailey reducing the required popula-
tion of county or municipality
whose bonds are to figure in n cur
rency issue from 10000 to 10000 is
expected to receive the support OF n
majority of the committee, and aC-
Cording to reliable report, will be
adopted.
Senator DOlliver probably will Of
fer an amendment in opposition to
the railroad bond feature OF the bill,
Senator Bailey will no doubt support
him in such project.

OMAHA, December 12.-Mrs. Caspar
William Whitney has been granted
divorce in Judge Estelles court and
alimony of 5000 a month while she re.
mains unmarried. The case was not
contested, and the filing of the suit
and hearing were conducted quietly. In
the petition the defendants name was

to disguise the identity of the parties
The case was called during the usual
noon recess, when only two OF three
lawyers interested in the case were in
the courtroom.
Mrs. Whitney, in her petition, alleg-
ed extreme cruelty and non-suppert.
She testified that they had not lived
together for more than year. Last

Whitney's office and he ordered her to
leave. She refused to go until she had
an interview with him, and he pushed
her into the hall and knocked her down.
Mrs. Whitney presented a deposition
from man who was in the Office at
the time.

DISAFFECTIoN AMONG
THE GUAM NATIVES

GUAM, December l2.-There is a de
cided undercurrent of dissatisfaction
among the native population of this
place over The arrival of the German
friars. who have come to take up the
Catholic religious work on the islands.
The newcomers speak neither Spanish,
English nor Chamorro, the native
tongue, and are at loss for means
of communication with the natives. The
priest whose place is to be taken by
the Germans has been in charge of this
work for fifty years past. He is a ma.
tive of the islands, and has very de.
cided American views.

where they had been sealed up by the
Inspectors of Election, there were
three ballots shy and all yours, so that
your opponent had the office by two
votesf
Web, that is exactly the experience
that Mr.. Blake, the Democratic candi.
date for Auditor of Kauai County has
| had.
In his petition for recount Blake
alleged that in the Lihue precinct five
votes that were cast for him were not
counted for him, and five more that
were not cast for his opponent were
counted for him. The examination of
| the tally sheets and the ballots in this
precinct proved that his contention
was right. Then Baker claimed there
were mistakes in the count in another
precinct, and the ballots for that pre-.
cinct were counted, but the official
count was found to be all right.
Then the Supreme Court yesterday
morning announced that it would have
recount of all the precincts and the
work was begun. There were losses
and gains on both sides, though on the
whole the Republican candidate Baker
gained the most, but not enough to
overcome Blake's lead and with nine
precincts counted and the official re-
turns Of the tenth, Blake had the job
by one vote. But when it" came to
counting the ballots of the tenth it was
found that there were three ballots
missing. The tally sheet called for
were all there, but Blake's were three
shy. Apparently three ballots that had
been east for Blake had been lost or
strayed. The used, spoiled, rejected
and returned ballots totaled just three
shy of the number of blank ballots
sent out 1t was puzzle. Nobody
r knew what had become of them. But
they weren't there.
Blake s attorneys, Watson and Thay-
er, wanted the court to give them two
or three days to bring the inspectors of
, that precinct over here to find out from
them if possible what had become OF
the three ballots. The other side, Pc
tiers and Davis objected; the ballots
were the best evidence and they felt
sure that the court would not allow
the inspectors to come in to tell what
the ballots contained. Justice Wilder
reminded them that the court had gone
in their favor much beyond the plead
inga, and as the purpose of the recount
, was to determine really who was elect
ed, they might conclude to hear what
, the inspectors had to say. Finally the
court took the matter under advise
ment till this morning with the sug-
gestion meanwhile that the contestant
send a wireless message over to Kan
al to the inspectors to find out what
they do know about the matter and see
If the contestant wants to stand the
expense Of bringing them over after be
finds out what they have to say.
