Melbourne. dated December "a last,
as follows:
The appearance in the Pacific of

United States. but of that ocean. We
are deeply interested In this visit and

OF expressing our sympathy with our

No other federation in the world

evening and journeyed on to Spokane

Natal Act q Given Hard Jolt by chief
Justlce.

VANCOUVER, b. G.. Feb. ga
Chief Justice Hunter today directed
that the two Japanese now lying In
New Westminster jail for violating
the recently passed Natal act OF the
province should be Immediately dis
charged from custody.
ON demand being made by Rob
ert Cassidy, X. c.. representing the
province, that a reoognizance be de-
mahded from the prisoners pending
the appeal which was instantly taken,
his lordship refused TO entertain the
request aud stated in comment upon
the matter that the two Japanese
were peaeeable subjects of Japan
who had been Illegally detained. Az
far az he could see. they evidently
had good action against somebody.
The chief justice. In pronouneing his
opinion. expressly stated that he did
not intend to touch upon questions
as TO whether the provincial Natal
act was intra wires or ultra Wires. as
the fact that the passage OF the do
minion legislation sanctioned the
treaty with Japan placed the ques-
ton IN a different sphere.
In a reserved manner his lordship
stated that be would venture the
opinion that the provincial Natal act
did not appear TO be in cantraven-
ton OF the general immigration laws
Of the dominion. as the British
treaties allowed the provinces GER
tain rights Of legislation regarding
immigration. The real question be-
fore him was. he said. however, as
to whether the provincial Natal act

Of the land The treaty act must be
read in connection with other domln-

under these provisions there would

there was no doubt that the provin-
eiai act must be held - imperative

with a great deaf OF interest the
speech of Governor Hughes of New
York before the Union League club
in Chicago tonight. This Is the EN-
pire state chief executives first in
vasion OF the west since he became

elared by the supporters OF Hughes
here that his visit to Chicago Is not
intended TO be in any sense an inva-
sion of Speaker Cannon's territory.
The local committee has received
communications from scores of west
ern cities asking that Governor
Hughes be urged to extend his trip.
The great desire shown by repub-
licans in the west to see and hear
him is considered one OF the most
significant phases Of the presidential
situation. Requests for the COVER
nor's presence In western states have
been coming In ever since the ad-
journment OF the legislative session
last summer, when 1t was thought
he would be at leisure to travel. But
1t was not until he had delivered his
address on national issues before the
Republican club In New York that
the pressure became really great
That address before the Republican
club met with a most gratifying re-
ception all over the country, but no.

cans Of the middle west. The news

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. a.
Senators Aldrich and Bailey believe
the senate will probably vote on the
Aldrich bill on Friday or Saturday
next. When half a dozen speeches
have been delivered Senator Bailey
will offer his bill as a substitute for
the Aldrieh bill, and when 1t is voted
down. as the author comedies that It
will be. the committee itself win
bring in some amendments. The bill
will receive the almost unanimous
vote Of the republican senators. but
1t is conceded those from the far west
will cast their votes in the negative.
When the bill goes to the house
there win be an effort to have IL ae-
cepted as a substitute for any bill
that may be reported BY the house
committee on banking and currency.

Gantenbein's branch Of the circuit
court today. Mrs. waymire proved
10 be good witness IN her own de-
Tense. She told her version OF the
scene In which she and Mayor Lane
played the star parts In simple and
effective way. She declared that once
before the night when she made the
cutlery that the mayor had made az
fectionate demonstrations. but that
had apoiogized. Her anxiety, she
said. TO recover her child caused her
repeated visits to Dr. Lane and
prompted her to return the night she
alleges she was attacked BY Mayor
Lane.
Her statement was Numerically
opposite TO the contention Of the
prosecution. she asserting that the
mayor assaulted her with violence
and had disarranged her wearing
apparel A part OF the forenoon and
nearly all OF the afternoon was de-
voted TO a merciless cFoss-examina-

THE CRITTENDON
DIVORCE CASE
Hearing For AlimOny Had and
Plaintiff Gets $40

The motion for alimony. court
costs and attorney fees in the case
of Claduia B. Crittendon VS.. George
Crittendon, an action for divorce
upon the part of the wife, alleging
as grounds therefor cruel and inhu-
man treatment, and drunkenness on
the part of the defendant, was heard
yesterday afternoon in the district
court.
The plaintiff asked in her motion
for alimony. during the trial of the
case, to the extent of $40 month,
court costs to the extent of SIS, and
attorney fees to the extent of $500.
The defendant, through his attor-
neys. Sanders & Flynn, opposed the
motion by an AFFIDAVIT alleging that
no community property had been ac-
cumulated during the marriage, and
that the plaintiff was not without
means of support, but owned separ-
ate property in Oregon, a timber
claim Of the value Of $500, and also
piano worth $500, and other per-
onal property. The defendant in the
Affidavit further alleged that he was
not the owner of any stock in the
Shoshone Mining G. Milling company;
that he had never nor did not now
Dwn any stock in the Occur d'AIene
Brewing company, but that he was
he owner of the Coney Island prop
erty, and that it was of the probable
value of SIS. 900. but that it was his
Individual, separate property. The
income from this property, the de-
PENDANT alleged, was possibly 1928 a
month, but tho wife had been grossly
extravagant and that most of the in
come had been used in living ex-
penses, that of the year 1907 being
$4,000. The defendant alleged that
he and the plaintiff had not lived to-
gether since February 2. but that
plaintiff had incurred bills amounting
to $118.53 during this time. and had
them charged to him. That among
Dther things entering into this charge
was suit for $40, dress pattern
or $25 and skirt for $40; but, he
alleged, as a matter of fact, these
rtieles had never been purchased as
uch, but these amounts had been
borrowed by the plaintiff from the
merchant and charged as above in or
er to deceive the defendant. He also
alleged that it was his belief that $25
of this amount had been paid to R.
E. Mcfarland, attorney for the plain
tin. for legal services. The plaintiff
made no denial of the facts set out
in the defendants AFFIDAVIT.
The defendant in his affidavit in
Dictated a willingness to pay to the
plaintiff alimony to the extent of sac
month. and this was allowed by the
court, but the court costs were re-
duced to $40. and no attorney fees
were allowed.
Both parties to the case are well
known in the city. and the divorce
proceedings were the elimination of
trouble experienced at the Critten-
don home in the early part OF the
month.
