Of her husband was concerned she seemed
not to know he was in the same room. al
though he sat but a few feet from her
throughout the days session.
The hearing before Justice Bowling is

May, 1907. Mrs. Gould alleges that her
husband deserted her without just cause on

made her an allowance OF $4,000 year.

wife denies the charges and asks for an
allowance OF $4,000 a year to enable her

band had accustomed her.

house, from ten to twelve around the estate

In answer to questions she ratified off the
amounts her husband had allowed her
month by month. They averaged about
$4,000. She kept two bank accounts-one
a Mrs. Gould account and one Katherine

TAFT IS FOR TOLERANCE

REFERS TO HIS ROME VISIT
Forty Years Ago, He Declares, such
a Thing Would Have sunk Any
Administration Responsible

WASHINGTON, June ~ That compieie
church emulation lis good thing and that
there should be in this country no invidious
distinctions in elections because of re-
ligious beliefs" were the keynotes of an
address made tonight by President Taft
before the congress of Roman Catholic
missionaries, now In session in this city.
After being introduced by Father Doyle,
who referred to the president, quoting an
other, "the great harmonizer" Mr.. Taft,
who had been applauded loudly as he en-
tered the hall, was greeted by an outburst
of applause.
He spoke principally of the work of set
Ting in the Philippines the difficulties
caused by the close relationship there OF
church and government. He expressed the
opinion that in the end the church would
be strengthened by the change there, "as
freedom and toleration and the separation
OF church and state have strengthened the
church in this country"
His Visit to Rome.
Referring to the final settlement Of the
church problems in the Philippines. he de-
clared that few extremists in this coun-
try had found any exception thereto.
But / venture to say" added the presi-
dent referring to his visit to Pope Leo
XIII and the settlement of the church
problem, that forty years ago 1t would
have sunk any administration responsible
for it, which only goes to show that this
country is. broad enough for all denomina-
tions to work together for the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man and
for ali of us to live here as American
citizens and that we should make no in
Ridious distinctions in elections because Of
religious belief"
He said that there is now no question
to be settled in the Philippines concerning
the relation Of church and government. He
said 1t is a good thing for the Roman Cath
olic church that there are other denOmina-
tions in the Philippines the complete church
emulation. Competition, IL l may use that
term, is a good thing In religion, as well
as in other things In life"

viii Put Quietus on the Four
teen-Foot Channel Plan for
the Present.

WASHINGTON, June l0.-The proposed
fourteen feet deep water project from st
Louis to the gulf received blow today when
the board .; engineers reported to congress
that such waterway is not desirable
The waterway would cost s12S, 600 for
construction and $60OO,O00 annually for
maintenance, the engineers say
The report was based on a survey OF
the Mississippi river by a special board
Of engineers, created by act of congress
The conclusions reached by both the spe'
cial board and the regular board of engi-
neers are practically the same
1t is claimed that the present demands OF
commerce between st. Louis and the gull
will be adequately met by an eight-foot
channel from ST. Louis to the mouth OF
the Ohio and a channel of not less thar
nine feet below the mouth of the Ohio
The boards belief is that an eight-foot
channel from Chicago to St. Louis cor.
responding with the present elght-foot pro-
ject from st. Louis 70 Cairo is the least
that would adequately meet the demands
of commerce. 1t adds that such water
ways would be desirable provided the cost
were reasonable. Present and prospective
dsmandsNof commerce between Chicago and
the gulf would be adequately served, the
board reports, by through nine-foot chan
mel to the gulf. Estimates for these chan.
nes have not been completed, but are
promised by congress by next December
General Marshall, chief of engineers, in
formed congress in transmitting the report
that he could not state definitely whether
either of those channels was desirable until
after accurate estimates were made.
The special board found that, by means
of constant dredging, a depth of eight feet
is now practically maintained in the chan
mel from st. Louis to Cairo, and of nine
feet from Cairo to the gulf. River regular
ization is counted on by the board to
make permanent an eight-foot channel
from st. Louis to Cairo. BY dredging 8
fourteen-foot channel may be obtained.
This board rejected as opposed to all rea-
son all propositions requiring the abandon
ment Of the already good river navigation
or the substitution OF lateral canal for
any part OF the river below Cairo. Dredg-

May outrank Territory of Alaska and
Colorado - Mining News in
General from Other
Sections

The closing days of the year are
periods for reflection, and compilation
of figures are achievements Of the
vanished months.
The Goldfield Daily News credits
that mining camp with having yielded
S26,147 600 worth of the precious metals
in the years 1904-OS. and it claims that
the yield Of the mines in the district.
on q conservative estimate, Will aggre-
gate this year $20,000,000 If this esti-
mate proves correct or anywhere
near the true figures, Nevada will
stand a good chance of being the
premier precious metal producing state
in the union, outranking both the ter
ritory of Alaska and the state of Colo
rado. For several years past Colorado
has headed the list of gold and silver
producing states and territories ana
for a year or two past Alaska has oc-
cupied the second place in the list.
This year, through the big yield OF
gold by the Tanana district. the ter
ritory has forged considerably ahead
over its previous record and will be IN
close running with Colorado. Nevada's
output if the Goldheld News IS not
exaggerat g. makes marNelous
showing In time Nevada unques-
tionably promises to be the largest
producer of gold and silver in the
country. whether it attains that en-
viable position this year or not. for IT

doubtless within it other districts yet

Strength Of Stones

The relative hardness Of various
stones is easily determined by testing
the power of one stone to make
scratches on another. If a diamond
is rubbed with one of the points of a
topaz the topaz point is blunted and
the mark which win be seen on the
face of the diamond is only the dust
of the topaz, which can be brushed off
with the finger. But if the topaz is
rubbed against the diamond the latter
is unaltered and the surface Of the
former is marked with a scratch which
can be removed only by further polish
ing down. 1t is on the basis of this
process of comparison that a scale Of
comparative hardness has been formed
represented by ten substances, Of which
diamond is the highest and graphite
the lowest in the scale. 1t is a curious
fact that these two extremes of the
scale, the brilliant and hard diamond
and soft black graphite, are both chem
ically the same substance-pure carbon.
