GREAT NATIONAL AUDITORIUM
SOME REASONS WHY 1T SHOULD
BE ERECTED HERE.
Mr.. Devine Outlines What Other
Cities Have Done and What
Washington Should Do.

I'VE ought to have in this city a great
national auditorium in which may be
held political conventions, balls, scien-
tific and other congresses and gather
ings Of large proportions" said John T.
Devine yesterday. II cannot believe that
the citizens of Washington really ap-
precate the vast advantages of such an
institution to them"
Mr.. Devine is one of the board of trus-
tees of the new auditorium company
and his strong interest in the project has
its foundation in public spirit.
Il think continued Mr.. Devine, we
ought to take heart from and profit by
the experience Of the citizens OF st.
Paul. MINI.
Few American municipalities can
boast of a more remarkable monument TO
the public spirit Of its people than ST.
Paul in erecting and presenting u the
city for the perpetual benefit OF the public
its great auditorium, one of the finest
buildings of its kind in the world, with
a seating capacity of 5000 more than
the New York Hippodrome.
Its completion and exceptional ade-
quacy for the purposes to which it is de-
voted make it now an object of es-
pecial satisfaction and pride To the thou
sands of public-spirited citizens who.
moved by a generous ambition for a
greater and better city, gave so freely
toward its erection.
The structure was conceived in April,
1905. and December H. of the same year.
the first contract was awarded. 1t was
a spontaneous revival of the od-time de-
mand for a town hall of suitable pro-
portions and dignity to fittingly entertain
the people OF one of the most beautiful
cities of the United States and their
guests, and yet not SO beautiful as Wash
in9ton, the capital city of this great re-
public. The demand took on practical
form and substantial consequences short
ly followed
Mr.. Devine said that business man
of quiet and reserved manner was placed
in charge of the project as the head of
a committee of eleven. He announced
that the building was to be put up at
once and then proceeded TO carry out
the plan. suffering nothing to swerve him
from his purpose. Calling to his assist
ance the best men in the city, he Crgan-
lied the project he would have under
taken a big business operation
In July monster mass meeting OF the
citizens was held. and when the doors
of the hall where it was held were closed
that night. more than $4,000 had been
subscribed. which. within a few days. was
augmented to $4,000. On the anniversary
the auditorium had been erected and tive
thousand people danced at the great in
augural ball. while ten thousand were
present as onlonkers.
Months afterWard. when St Paul en-
tertained President-elect Taft two thous-
and people sat down to dinner in his
honor on the stage alone.

NAVAL SURGEONS
WIFE GETS DECREE
Says Spouse Asserted Sierras
Not Fascinating Enough
for Navy Set
Pretty Southern Woman Is
Granted Divorce Or Grounds
of DesertiOn

He told me that I was not fascinat-
ing. that / was not beautiful enough to
move in tho 'swagger' naval set in
Washington" said Mrs. Mary Frances
Duhigg. wife Of DR.. J. T. Duhigg of
The torpedo boat Hull. whose matri-
monial ties were severed by Judge Mo-
Ean Yesterday. She declares this was
the sole reason Of her husbands deser-
tion.
And yet Mrs. Duhigg is a very attrac-
tive woman. She is Of the petite
southern style. with a wealth Of auburn
nalr blue eyes and complexion which
a beauty specialist would term perfect.
He complained that 1 was not ro-
bust am not. Ny lungs are weak
and my heart irregular. conditions I
should think would rather impell a
man, if he loved a woman, to protect
her rather than desert her" she con-
unued.
NATIVE or GEORGIA
Mrs. Duhigg was formerly Mrs.
Charles Carol Of Carrolton. Her hus-
band, who was grand nephew of Car
rol OF Carrolton, a signer Of the declar-
alton Of independence. died about three
years ago in Paris. A daughter. now
years Of age, is at present in a con-
vent in Los Angeles Mrs. Duhigg is
native Of Atlanta, Ga, although the
most Of her life has been spent in
Washington and Baltimore.
She married Duhigg in Washington
in September. 1907. According TO her
complaint she was deserted in Deem
her of the same year. Dr.. Duhigg is
now stationed with the torpedo boat
Hull, which is lying off San Diego.
Further insight into the tempera-
mental disadvantage the couple labored
under was given by the testimony of
j. Snider, 2 friend, who was called as
plaintiff. Snider testified that DR.. Du
higg told him on several occasions that
his wife was not a sport" and that
she did not show enough speed" He
further said that Duhigg seemed to
think that his wife was not suited TO
mingle in the navy social set because
she lacked a gay and frOlicsome spirit
STOPPING AT ST. FRANCIS
Mrs. Duhigg has been staying at the
ST. Francis. Duhigg himself was reg
lstered at the St. Francis some days
ago, but did not meet his wife. In
fact, Mrs. Duhigg was unaware that
her husband was quartered under the
same roof with her.
There have been reports that the
young woman intended to marry again
as soon as she received a divorce.
Lieutenant McAuley, who is at present
in Los Angeles, has been mentioned in
this connection, but Mrs. Duhigg de-
MED the engagement yesterday.
The story sprang from the fact that
the lieutenant and I spent a great deal
OF time together about the hotels of
The south. / have heard that 1 was
also engaged or about TO marry pay
master and an inspector in the navy,
but these stories are false"
Mrs Duhigg waived the question OF
alimOny in the divorce proceedings.
i have larger income month
than he earns" she said. She said that
she intended TO go to China in search
Of health and would leave shortly.

there is printed in the American thi!
morning a sensational, double column
scare head telegram urging that thu
Pacific fleet be sent back to the Pa
cific coast Immediately in order t
forestall any action that Japan Nigh
take, growing out of the Legislation
now pending in the legislature at Sac

There is another acute situation
with Japan. The usual complica-
tions are developing which threat
ened war before and threaten war
now and may eventually result in
war.
These acute situations" and
diplomatic complications and
threats of conflict will recur as
long as conditions are allowed to
exist as they formerly existed and
now exist
Mr.. Roosevelt may go down to
posterity as a great statesman, as
a great orator, as a great phil
anthropist and as great rough
and ready fighter, but he will never
illuminate the pages of history as
a great strategist.
The best he can do now is TO
correct an obvious mistake as soon
as maybe and send the fleet back
to the Pacific coast. 1t is needed
here and it may be needed inn
mensely and Immediately. It is
not needed to pay presidential calls
upon the potentates of Europe.
California should and doubtless
will accede to your requests, Mr.
Roosevelt, and temporarily re-
linqish her states right to avert
war, but nothing that California
can do will prevent war as long
as Japan wants war.

Arms Against Each Other

A family disagreement at 1882 Eighth
avenue eliminated last night in clash
and passage at arms between William
Geddes and his son Archie, and Mrs.
William Geddes and Harry and Louis

others for plain battery.
Some time ago the differences in
temperament in the Geddes family
caused the split, Mrs. Geddes took her
and the father and son remained below.
Yesterday Geddes senior turned off the

was allowed to go home also. The
