DIVORCED WIFE OF
PROF. TRtGGS WEEDS IN
LONDON; he is ILL

Chicago, Feb. 15.-While professor
Lowell Triggs. formerly of the Univer-
.sity Of Minnesota, once possessor of
the brightest mind on the faculty list
Of Chicago university and whose bril-
liant achievements were nullified when
he was sidetraCked by free love ideas,
lay unmourned and ear to death in
Chicago, cahlegrams were received an
nouncing the wedding Of Laura Ster-
rette McAdoo. who divorced him, to DR..
Julien Gagey, in London.
The wedding Of Professor Trigg's
wife, who fed to Paris with her son
Immediately after the granting of the
sensational divorce, on August "A OF
last year seems to be the finale of a
series of blows that have t~obogganed
the professor from the heights he once
attained.
Laura Sterrette McAdoo Triggs met
DIR. Gagey in Paris, where both Of
them haV lived for the past year. Lit
tie is known of her new husband.
The divorce of Professor Triggs was
not granted without the giving Of spicy
testimony. 1t was declared, after hav-
ing been deposed from Chicago univer-
sity for having dared to dispute the
inspiration of the bible and the SINGER
ity of John d. Rockefeller, founder Of
the school, Professor Triggs went to
Paul II. Sercomb's free love colony and
became an acolyte at the shrine of the
eccentric editor. a fight with Sercomb
caused Triggs to depart from the col
ony house, near Twenty-third street
and Calumet avenue, and at his new
residence ne was accused of having
found al affinity.

CAN'T STAY ACTION
OF 9-HOUR LAW

Washington, Feb. n-An important
announcement is made by the Inter-
state Commerce cOmHniSsfpn respecting
it's attitude toward the request recently
made by the operating Vice presidents
of the railroads of the United States
that the socalled nine-hOur law relating
to the employment of train d~fspatchers.
telegraph operators n tower men be
suspended by the commission until such
time as the law could be amended to
meet the desires of all concerned.
The commission holds In brief that
1t has no authority TO extend the time
or suspend the operation of h law
except in a particular case or In cases
where a hearing has been held and
good cause shown for the extension
asked.
The commission says:
Thousands of letters and kilograms
received within the last few days fndi-
cate widespread misrepresentation as to
the power of the commission to extend
the law' which goes into effect March
4 next limiting the hours Of service OF
employees engaged In the movement or
trains upon Interstate railroads.
1.-The only authority In this respect is
expressed in the law as follows:
1.-The Interstate Commerce commits
sion may, after a fun hearing In a par
ticular case and for good cause shown.
extend the period within which a COM
mon carrier shall comply with h pro-
vision of this proviso as to such case
I'VE are of the opinion that such
power as we have must be exercised
before the law takes effect. 1t Is he
power to extend the period allowed for
preparation. not the power to suspend
after the law has become obligatory.
Therefore we can afford no relief after
the 4th of March, except In the particu-
lar cases where extensions may have
been granted prior to that date"

START ON
OVERLAND TRIP TO
PARIS, VIA ALASKA
Six Contestants, Of Four Ma
tions, in the 20, 900 Mile
Race.

New York, Feb. A.-Six automobiles
started from Times square at 11:15
a. m. today on the race to Paris. by
way of Boring Straits. The departure
was witnessed by a great throng OK
people.
Accompanied by more than 200 mot
ors of all descriptions, the racing ma
chimes made their way up Broadway
and Riverside drive to the city limits.
where they turned north on the road
to Albany. From that city the route
to San Francisco, which Is the OBJ
jective point of the first stage OF the
trip, lies across New York state to
Buffalo, thence through Cleveland. To-
ledo. Chicago, Omaha. Cheyenne. Og-
den, Reno, Goldfieid, San Luis Obfspo,
San Francisco.
The contesting cars are the queerest
looking machines ever devised for mo-
toring purposes. With their heavy
equipment, stores and camp utensils.
several of them were modern repre-
sensations Of old prairie schooners.
One resembled a hook and ladder truck
with long running boards on either
side, equipped with axes, shovels, ropes.
a dozen other articles. The clothing OF
the drivers varied from black bear
skins to pure white FUR outAts n
head dress.
Three French ears, one German, one,
Italian and one American started In
the race. Three men constituted tho
crews of the foreign, machines, but
there were only two In the Aneri-f
can car.
Each machine carried a flag OF it's
own nation and hat OF the United
States. They were plentifuIfy. decorated
with signs and ~plaeaHds 50 there could
be no mistaking their identity where
ever seen.
Estimates vary as to the length Of
time the race win require. From six
to nine months, IL Is Believed, will be
consumed. All the drivers are coma
dent of reaching their destination

| Siberia. Steamers win transport the
machines from San Francisco to Val

ture of the skull, though the victim

brain, as a result of the blow and lay
unconscious for two hours.

PLOT IS
FRUSTRATED; MANY
AMERICANS HURT
Mexicans Try to Blow Up All
American Miners in
Sonora Town.

Tucson. Ariz., Feb. 14.--An attempt TO
kill every American at the Santa Rosa
mine in Sonora, 20 miles south of Doug
las, was made when Mexican employees
placed sticks of dynamite under a
boarding house at the company's store
and the foreman's and superintendent
residences.
The fuses, attached to dynamite.
were timed for the explosions to fol-
low one another in quick succession.
The hour selected was during the even
ing meal when all the American miners
were in the boarding house.
The store and boarding hous were
demolished. Fifteen men. who were
eating, were blown through the roof
OF the boarding house sustained
broken legs and arms. but there were
no fatalities.
AT the foreman's residence, the dyna-
mite failed to ignite, but the superin-
tendent's office was demolished. He es-
capped injury.
Rurales are already on the scene.
Eighteen Mexicans are under arrest.
The attempt to destroy the Amer
leans is believed to be the work or
sympathizers with the revolutionists at
present under arrest at Los Angeles.
who believe h prisoners are being
prosecuted by Americans.

RAILROAD PASSES
SEEM STONE DEAD

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE railroad
pass as an institution in this country
is pretty plainly dead. Effort to resus-
citate il by degrees has been vigorously
discouraged by the Senate committed
on interstate commerce, and for this
session at least 1t Is certain that issu-
ance OF transportation for anything ex-
cept good money will not be legalized.
When the Hepburn bill passed two
a ago there was more trouble about
transportation than anything else in 1t.
IL seemed as il almost everybody i'm the
country must have a pull with the rail-
roads for free transportation, and was
determined to perpetuate it. In sheer
desperation congress passed the bill to
prevent everybody getting passes. The
first thing assured about it was that
members of congress would be shut out,
and after that vas certain congress
didn't feel much sympathy for anybody
else's claims.
Senator Stone, OF Missouri, introduced
early this session a bill to permit trans
portation to be issued to newspapers
in exchange for advertising. The bill
got to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. but that was the end. No a
voice was raised In it's behalf. Con-
gress didn't see why the editor should
ride while the congressman walked, and
by a unanimous vote the bill was
turne down.

OIL TESTS MADE
NEAR WATERFOWL

Watertown, S. D., Feb. 15.-The oil
deposits OF Codington county are COM
ing in for their share of attention this
month with three companies securing
leases in the region where oil was first
discovered, and n OF the companies
preparing to sink a $4,000 well to test
the value of its holdings. Lyman AL
ford, of Robinson, H., and c. w. Gil
more, of Pipestone, are forcing the test,
they having options on 1000 of the
5000 acres now leased by the different
companies. Part Of their machinery
has already arrived, and the well will
be begun the first OF March.
The geological survey made by the
government places the depth of the oil
stratum at approximately 1900 feet,
though it may be much deeper. But
whatever the depth. the well will be
sunk to a point where oil is found in
paying quantities or the absence of it
proved beyond a doubt.

IN CONGRESS
APPoINTEES DRAW SALARY
UNTIL THEY ARE SUCCEEDED

Washington. Feb. 15.-Postmaster
General Meyer informed the Senate
that he believes he has the right to
continue a postmaster in office even IL
the nomination formally has been re-
jected by the Senate. This position
raises an issue between an executive
department and the Senate over the
constitutions provision relating to APP
pointments aad combinations of fed
cral office holders. The communica-
ton from the 9ostofiice department re-
lateS to the case OF William Northup,
postmaster at Pensacola, Fla. Senator
Taliferro declared that Mr.. Northup
is still drawing the salary of post
master despite the fact nat his nomin-
alton was rejected nearly a year ago.
At his suggestion the Senate called on
the postmaster general for al explain
alton. The response was brief. Mr..
Meyer declares that under the regula-
tons governing appointments he has
the authority TO continue Northup in
Office until his successor has been ap-
pointed. His position undoubtedly
will create discussion in executive
session

POISONED CANDY
KILLS A GIRL

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 15.-Ruth
Miller, the 4~-year-old daughter of
Charles Miller, of Kansas City. Kan,
is dead from the effects of eating candy
from a box of cheap bonbons sent
through the mails to Ella Miller, an
older sister. The following inscription
was on the candy box:
Sweets to Ella Miller. From girls
of the S. & s."
The candy is believed to have con-
tanned strychnine, and Ruth Miller died
IN agony 10 minute after eating some
of the bonbons. Four other children
were affected by the candy, but they
suffered only a temporary distress. Ella
Miller, who is IA years old, worked for
the SchwartZschild & S~ulzberger Pack
ing company until a month ago. She
does o believe she has any enemies
at the packing house. She never had
a sweetheart and the motive for send
ing her poisoned candy is a mystery

IN CONGRESS
HOBSON FOR MORE
SHIPS WITHOUT DELAY

Washington, Feb. 14.-By a vote or
i3 10 5. one member absent and not
voting, the House committee on naval
affairs. rejected the presidents urgent
recommendation that congress at this
session authorize the building OF four
battleships at "A total cost of $3S, zoe. 0OO.
and by a unanimous vote there was In
cluded in the navy appropriation bill an
authorization for Tie construction or
two, 70 cost $500. 900 each and to be
OF the Delaware type. These repre-
sentatives voted In accordance with the
presidents recommendations:
Lilly, republican, Connecticut; ~hom-
as, republican, Ohio; Meyer, democrat,
Louisiana; Talbot, democrat, Mary
land; Hobson. democrat, Alabama.
Representative Hobson announced
after h committee meeting that he
intended to make a minority report rec
ommending authorization for four bat
tleshipS. But the authorization mere
ly is not enough" he said. 1T should
include an actual appropriation so that
the work of construction would be be-
CUR without a moments unnecessary
delay. Even so, IL would he three years
before these vessels could be made
ready TO go into commission and this
country has no time TO lose
The preference of the committee
stood in favor of a four battleship au-
thorization. but the voting attitude OF
the majority was expressed by Chair
man Foss when he said:
Experience has shown that it is
more profitable in the end to recon-
mend in the beginning what you know
h Hous will tai for. A recon-
mendation for four battleships could
not be put through at this session.
The naval appropriation bill as
amended and agreed upon by the COM
mittee carries n total appropriation of
$101, COG, 900 for the navy establishment
for the next fiscal year, about $24. 600,
600 less than was asked for In the de-
partment estimates.
Under the head OF new authoriza-
tions for whose fulfllment is
bound to appropriate money at the
next session If the bill as recommended
passes the House and Senate, the COM
mittee included two battleships to cost
$19, 600, 900; ten destroyers, 49, 500. 000;
eight submarine torpedoboats 49, GAO, 900.
fetal, $50, $40, 600, or 1913, 470, 900 less thar
the total for new authorizations asked
for by the navy department.
The new authorization estimates re-
iected by the committee comprised the
following: Two battleships. SIG, 600. 900
four scout cruisers, $40, 000, 900: one am
munition ship, 81, $50, 900: one repair
ship, &, goo, 600; two mine laying ships
(cruisers to be converted). $500, 600.
The committee, however, raised from
four to eight the number of submarine
torpedoboats asked for.
