DAKOTA DIVORCES NO GOOD
Decision Handed Down in London
Chancery Court Involving
Estate of 100000.

London. May ia decision was
handed down in the chancery court
this morning holding that a divorce
secured in Dakota was not valid in
either Canada or Scotland. BY it a
youth named Richard Stirling, resi-
dent Of British Columbia, is deprived
of estates in Scotland worth $500. 900.
Richards mother was married first 20
a ScOtchman named George Smith and
the couple went To Canada. Smith sub
sequently secured a divorce from his
wife at Fargo. Mrs. Smith later mar
ried a man named Walter Stirling i'm
San Francisco. Richard. an offspring
of this later union, would have sue
ceeded to the estate of George Smith
but for the decision of the court that
he is illegitimate, on the ground that
George Smith was not domiciled in Da-
kota. The court holds that the divorce
and the subsequent remarriage of Mrs
Smith both are invalid.

TAFT'S TRIP TO THE ISTHRUS
Ponderous War Secretary Endeav-
ored to Arrange for Fair
Elections in Future.

Washington, May 16.-Secretary Taft.
on his return to Washington on Mon
day next, will make a full report to
the president of his conferences with
the Panama officials. During his visit
it was represented to Secretary Taft by
a certain element of the population of
the isthmus that the elections in that
country had been unfair and that no
proper expression of public opinion had
been permitted. Secretary Taft was
very much impressed by what had been
told him, and. in his conference with
the authorities no doubt laid great
stress on the complaints. Today's re-
ports from Panama indicate that his
efforts have brought prompt response
from the officials of the republic. and
the efficient carrying out of measures
for securing fair elections, it is be-
lieVed here, will render further sug-
gestiOns from the United States un-
necessary.

fore a large gathering of MethOdists at

OF the delegates TO the general conference
of the NJ +. church. now in session in
Baltimore.
Reception Abandoned,
What was 10 have been feature of
the occasion-a reception OF the dele
gates by the president and Mrs. Roosevelt
in the College of History-was abandoned
owing to an engagement which the presi-
dent previously had made.

That's fine exclaimed President
Roosevelt when the singing of the old
hymn began. He allowed that il was his
favOCite song The president then repeated
a portion of the first verse of the song
in German-to the evident delight of the
assembage.
"A Born Methodist"
An incident which perhaps created the
greatest enthusiasm was the declaration
of Bishop Earl Cranston, resident bishop
of this city, that President Roosevelt was
a born Methodist" but he added that
the president was enthusiastically mis-
placed early in life" The president re-
piled by saying:
Il do feel mighty kind TO you.
The president before beginning his ad-
dress. wished the authorities well in their
purpose to plant here an American uni
versity-a university that shall fulfill the
dream OF the greatest and first OF Amer
