S75 for Jewelry.

New York, June 29.-An echo of
MRS. Catherine Clemmons Gould's re-
cent successful suit for a separation
from her husband was heard in the

ment was heard and decision reserved

NO BAD BANANAS.
Pure Food Authorities VIII Do Some
Prosecuting.

There has been considerable complaint
lately about decayed bananas placed on
the market and the state board of
health has secured from Attorney Gen
eral Jackson the following opinion re-
garding this infraction of the pure food
laws by Dealers: s5-.....-..-.
answering your oral inquiry con-
cerning the sale of bananas on punches,
a part of the bananas on which punches
is decomposed. permit me to say that
section of chapter 134 of the session
laws of 1909 defines all vegetable food
substances that are in whole or in part,
decomposed. tainted. filthy or putrid
as adulterated. and their sale is pro-
hibited by section 2 of chapter 266 of
the session laws of 1907.
Bananas on punches cannot be sold
when a part of the bananas are in this
condition. If the owner Of bananas in
this condition desires to sell the bananas
on the bunch that are good he must
separate the spoiled bananas from those
that are good and sell only the good
ones. otherwise he commits crime for
which he can be prosecuted

GET NO RELIEF.
African Bishops Appeal to Com
merce Commission in Vain.

Washington, June 29.-Five bishops
of the African NJ. E. church who
complained to the Interstate Com
merce commission that they were
Disseminated against by Southern
railroads and by the Pullman COM
pany in transportation, dining
facilities and sleeping car accom-
modations have been informed by
the commission that their complaint
was not warranted.
1t was alleged by the complainants
that the day coaches furnished for
negro passengers in the southeastern
states were not equal to those pro-
vided for white people; that negroes
were denied sleeping car accommoda-
tions; and that they were refused
food in the dining cars solely be-
cause of their color. It is held by
the commission that undue dis
elimination or prejudice was not
shown and the complaint therefore
was dismissed.

GREEK IS LOSING OUT.
President HadIey Says Colleges Can't
Force 1t on the Public.

New Haven, Conn, June 29.-Preei-
dent Hadley presented his report al
the meeting of the alumni In Alumni
hall today at Yale. clifford Pinchot,
'S9, presided.
The report discusses the diminu-
ton in the study of Greek and It's
effect; the possibility of combining
modern culture studies with the old
fashioned requirement of hard work;
the considerations which should gov
ern the choice of professors. and the
possibility of introducing honor
courses like those of Oxford or Cam
bridge into the American college.
President Hadley said that many OF
the strongest men in England and the
United States have decided that the
study of Greek takes more time tnan
it is worth.
Continuing he said in part:
I'm trying to get more practical re-
suits in the way of knowledge or Gull
ture a great many American college
boys have lost the training which
Greek would have given them and
gained nothing of equal value in its
place. But colleges can not teach a
thing to a public which does not want
to study it and we must recognize the
fact that an increasing part OF the
it's sons give the time necessary for
the effective use of the Greek language
as a means of competition and disci-
pline This makes academy problems
difficult
Among the recent gifts of special
Importance not previously announced,

State Bankers Write to th'
Bank Commissioner.
Want to Know What Will Be
Done to Protect Them.
EXPECT NO TROUBLE
Mr.. DOlIey Thinks Difficulty
Will Be IrOned Out.
No Special Session of the Legis-
lature Necessary.

State Bank Commissioner Dolley's
mail was loaded today with letters
from state bankers in which inquiry
was made about the status of the
guaranty law and what Steps would be
taken to protect the state rs from
the proposed action of the national
banks in the matter of paying over
three per cent interest on deposits. The
state banks are denied by the pro-
visions of the new guaranty law from
paying over three per cent, while the
national bankers propose by the terms
Of their new insurance guaranty as
sociation to pay as much interest as
they please on deposits.
The tone of these letters is not hos
tile or defiant, but rather they handle
the proposition from a plain business
standpoint and want the national
bankers to tote fair in the matter
They argue that the concession in the
new law restricting the amount of in
terest to be paid upon deposits was
granted at the instance of the national
bankers.
These state bankers argue that the
national bankers can call the directors
or their new association together at
any time and change the bylaws of
the organization, while in the case of
the state bankers guaranty association
members, comprises their board of di-
rectors and can alone remedy the con-
Stltutton under which they are to do
business.
Mr.. Dolley does not think there will
be an extra session of the legislature
ana that the matter will be adjusted
but he declared that the talk of an
extra session was not a bluff at all nor
was 1T an impossibility. He was in
hopes that it would not be necessary.
SAID state house square dealer to-
Gay If the operation of the National
Bankers Surety company seriously in
terferes with or impairs the efficiency
OF the guaranty of bank deposits law
there VIII be a special session of the
legislature and the following law will
be enacted: An act to regulate surety
companies in their business of guaran-
teeing bank deposits"
This law will provide that they shall
not guaranty deposits bearing over 9
per cent interest nor bank balances
carried in reserve banks and will con-
tam other restrictive features. This
law would be effective and practical as
the state has the right to regulate com
panies doing business under a state
charter.
While the legislature was in session
1t could pass appropriation bills for the
fish and game warden department, the
Wyandotte court of the Second district
ard the $4,000 item for the Pittsburg
training school, all of which state busi-
ress was overlooked during the closing
hours of the last legislature.
On the other hand Attorney General
jackson has figured it out that there is
nc need to call a special session to
thresh out and adjust the differences
betWeen the bankers. He believes that
business conditions will adjust the trou-
bic in the natural course of events.

sion of all the lodge property. The
members not in the movement
brought suit to recover the property
of the old lodge, but lost the case in
