Wealthy Mother, Divorced Wife

Court to See Children

Mrs. Eulah NJ. Coats Will have $3.50
a month for her support pending de-
termination of her suit for divorce
from Lee b. Coats, the wealthy horse
and mule dealer This decision was
handed down by Judge Seawen yes
terday after considering the case since
last Thursday. The order calls for
the payment by Coats to his wife of
$500 forthwith $3.50 on November 1
and $3.50 on the first OF each month

neys.
The amount asked for by Mrs. Coats
was $3.50 a month. Coats offered $125
month. He asserted that before she
married him less than two years ago
she never had more than $50 month
to spend, but admitted that he had been
too generous during their welded life,
sometimes giving her as much as $500
month, besides many valuable dia5
monds.
Mrs Ethel Meek Sutton, the wealthy
woman from whom Albert Sutton, an
architect, secured divorce on the
ground of deserticn, is making another
attempt to secure control of her two
young daughters. Upon the terms of
the decree their custody was awarded
to the father, and the condition was
attached that their mother could see
them only once every two weeks, and
then only in the presence of another
person designated by Sutton Mrs. SUIT
ton filed a motion to have the decree
modified yesterday, asserting that on
the last two occasions she has visited
Sutton's house she has been refused
permission TO see the children. She
asks that Sutton be adjudged guilty of
contempt and that the custody of the
children be vested in her for at least
portion Of the time. Her attorney
is Hiram W. Johnson. Mrs. Sutton is
worth upward of 100000 in her own
right. all of which she has stated she
intends leaving to the children.

BANKERS OPPOSE
GUARANTY SCHEME
Savings Bank Section of Amer
ican Association Adopts Res
OlutiOns COndemning Plan

DENVER, Sept. 2s.-The most i'm
portant discussion in the savings bank
section Of the American bankers asso-
citation occurred at the afternoon ses-
sion when the questions of postal saw
Engs banks and the guaranty of the
bank deposits were taken up. While
it was evident that the sentiment was
practically unanimous against postal
savings and overwhelmingly against
the guaranty idea, a respectable
minority tried to prevent action on the
latter question. contending that it was
matter for the convention of all the
members of the association to decide
upon and not for a single section.
Former Governor Myron T. Herrick
OF Ohio offered the following resolu-
tion:
Whereas this savings bank section Of the
savings Of the people Of the United States; and
whereas. the record of these banks for CON
serystism. stability and unsel6sh devotion TO the
interest Of their depositors unparalleled in any
country in the world; and whereas, the loss to
their depositors has been so small TO be alb
solutely a negligible quantity; therefore. be IL
Resolved. that inasmuch any plan or scheme
TO make each Of these banks responsible by tax
alton or assessment for the acts of one another
or TO connect them with the national banking
system is economically unsound in principle, cou-
ests of its depositors stock holders and borrow
eTs. 1t would discourage individual initiative.
the best product Of the American mind. II is a
specious form Of paterDalisD and socialism. IL
would tend to encourage speculation and an un-
due expansion of credit: therefore, be 1t
Resolved, that we enter the most solemn pro-
test against enacment into law either by states
or the nation Of any principles so subTersive TO
sound economics and so revolutionary in char
acter.
After heated debate Governor Her
rick's resolution was adopted.
After a discussion of postal savings
banks, a motion was carried. placing
the savings bank section in opposition
to the establishment of postal savings
banks and asking the support of the
American bankers association in this
opposition.

Three Yachts Claiming
Farallon Cup

The unsatisfactory ending of the San
Francisco yacht clubs Farallon cup
race is causing lot of talk among
yachting men around the bay. There
is no doubt as to the finishing of both
the Mike and the Yankee, but neither
followed the written instructions of
the racing committee to report to the
stakeboat at the finish. This alone
would disqualify them. But the re-
gatta committee of the San Francisco
club is placed in a delicate position.
for according to racing rules 1t could
award the cup to the Martha, which
came in three hours later than the
others, but notified the oftlials on the
stakeboat by burning a flare light,
which was answered from the launch.
Berry alleges that he could not at
tract the attention of the stake boat
that his sails hid his lights. and if he
had gone any nearer he would have
put his boat in danger of a tide rip.
the distance. His crew is willing to
swear under oath that it crossed the
line first and the Yankee crew will
swear likewise. The Yankee yachtsmen
say they could not see the launch, so
they took their line of finish from Mile
rock to Point Bonita.
A meeting of the committee will be
held on Saturday. when all of those
interested will be given hearing. Of
course. the best thing for the two boats
to do would be TO sail the race over

them that alternative.

department and others interested In
humane work to repeal the statute
which vests the three societies with
authority to appoint special police
men.
| The statement was made yesterday
by Captain Jack O'Meara, chief clerk
to Chief of Police Biggy, that in
| troubled times of the past a large
number of the Offenders arrested wore
badges from the Pacific humane so
ciety O'Meara declared also that when
a request was made to Frank Kane,
president and secretary of the society.
for list of the men empowered with
police duties he refused to furnish the
department. with 1t. but announced that
$500 men--members of the society
were permitted to wear the society's S
badge.
Hundreds of men that have been
arrested by this department" con-
tinued O'Meara, "have worn the stars
of the three outside societies and have
also carried revolvers. In the United
Railroads and stablemenS strike the
offenders, including hundreds of strike
breakers and all classes OF criminals,
were vested with police power by the
societies.
although our request for a list of
the special officers has been ignored
we are powerless to do anything. A
state law gives the societies directors
power to grant the permission. while
the superior judges swear in the ap-
pointees. Unfortunately the police
powers have been voted to men and
we have no method by which to deter
mine the records of those carrying
weapons under the guise of being
friends to humanity"

ment for the repeal of the statute will
be the two principal humane societies.

the Merchants association, composed of
representatives of the associated char
tiles and the Merchants association,

fused to indorse the Pacific humane So
