MRS. JENNIE DU MOULIN AND REV. WALTER DU MOULIN

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. H.
When gossip's tongue wags for
five thousand miles, all on ac-
count of something that has hap
pened in a divorce court, that
something is apt to have been de-
cidedly out of the ordinary. Here
it is:
Mrs. Jennie du Moulin is suing
Rev. Walter du Moulin for divorce
in San Francisco. The grounds
are abandonment. Rev. du Mou-
lin has filed a suit against his
wife, in Seattle. lharging her with
desertion.
Mrs. du Moulin makes some
sensational assertions regarding
her clerical spouse. But the real
reason why the case is attracting
attention from Honolulu to the
Atlantic seaboard is because Rev
du Moulin is the son of the Rt
Rev. John Philip du Moulin, Epis.
|copal Bishop of the diocese of Nj.
agara, Ont, Canada. famous
lprelate of the Episcopal church
Iand a brother Of the dean of Trim,

strolls with fair parishioners. She

that he had asked her to pose for

made by the workers that they
are averaging the lowest wages in
the history of the industry, while
the beef barons are receiving the
dightest prices since the stockyards
were established and the small fry
were driven out of business by the
monopolists. There doesn't seem
to be any way in which the COM

this juncture except by wrecking
the beef trust, and the workers
are going to attempt it. A num-
Der of organizers are in the field

BY NORMAN.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Nat
Goodwin's wonderful automobile
is one of the sights of the city
these days. 1t was on view at the
auto show last January, and re-
ceived some attention, but now it
is being driven about the streets,
and hundreds turn to look at it.
The car was a gift by the &C
tor to his bride, Edna Goodrich.
1t was made to order, and cost
something over $4,000. The
couple occupied 1t during a hon
eymoon tour of the continent,
and it recently accompanied them
to this country. 1t is about seven
feet wide, half a length longer
than the regulation touring car,
and weighs three tons. 1t can do
so miles an hour on a good road.
Every accommodation of a lux
urious railway coach may be
found in this amazing automobile
Under the rear seat is bath tub,
made of copper. The water
tanks are on top of the car, and
look like suitcases. Also there Is
a wash basin, and both this and
the tub are supplied with hot
water from the engine. There is
an ice box, and there is a gaso-
line stove.
In use for ordinary travel, the
tonneau is nest of velvet cush-
ions, surrounded by plate glass
windows, front, sides and rear. A
cluster of lights is supplied with
current from a battery under the
seat. The seats may
be quickly transformed into an
upper and a lower berth, and the
seat is also converti-
BILE into bed. Also, the chauf-
feur can prepare a meal in his
quarters without having to invade
the sleeping apartment in the
rear.
The car has working and dining
accommodations for five passen-
gers, but can carry nine without
crowding.
John Forsell, a big Swedish
baritone who has Just arrived for
he Metropolitan opera house sea-
'on, is believed to be the first
singer who ever secured a grand
opera engagement through a pho
lograph hearing.
Andreas DIPPED, administrative
of the Metropolitan
had heard favorable re-
ports of Forsell's voice, but
,ould not go to England, where
Forsell was singing. to hear him,
md Forsell could not come to
New York. So Forsell sent
some photograph records to Dip
pei for samples. and after DIPPED
had heard them he cabled the
5wede handsome offer for a sea-
son here.
On the same ship with ForsellI
arrived Henri Dutilloy, French
tenor, who brought a grewsome
memento of sad day in his life.
Dutilloy was friend of Riverte,
a bull fighter who performed at
Bayonne. To get local color"
for the role of the toredor in
Carmen" Dutilloy went one day
to the bull ring to see Riverte in
action. The tenor had no habit OF
going to bull fights, but went Just
this once for the experience. That
day Riverte was killed by a bull.
and DatiIIoy has the costume IN
which he met his death.

DECISION ON THE EMPLOY
ERS' LIABILITY LAW-HE-
ROISM OF WOMEN STRIK-
ERS-UNIONISM IN SOUTH
AMERICA.
BY Peter Power.

II
1t looks as though the new en-
ployers' liability law enacted by
congress is doomed to follow its
predecessor to the unconstitution-
al scrap heap or remain a dead
letter. The United States court
in Connecticut, in a test case
brought by the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railway, has al
ready intimated that the law will
not hold.
Now comes United States
Judge Maxey, of Texas, into a
ruling, in case tried at Ell Paso,
to the effect that railway en-
ploye who may be injured can
only bring action in the district
of the defendants legal residence.
Thus if an employee is MANNED in
Texas, he must travel to Maine
to bring suit for damages If the
railway company is incorporated
In the latter state.
Not one workman in hundred,
IL the Texas ruling stands, can az
ford to spend the time and money
to cross the continent to begin
action for damages should he be
injured in the performance of his
duties. Many labor men declare
that the avidity with which the
corporation senator's and con
gressmen pushed through the new
employers liability law after ths
old one was declared unconstitu
ltional was pretty good proof tina
the statesmen at Washington hat
an understanding among them
selves that the measure would b,
knocked out by the courts.
The cases just decided in Con
necticut and Texas will be appeal
ed, and it will be probably severa
years before the United State!
supreme court will finally pas.
upon the constitutionality of the
law.
Genuine heroism has just beer
displayed by the women striker.
in the hat industry. Nearly sil
months ago the women walked
out with the men when the manu-.
facturers' association declared fol
the open shop. There has beer
no break in the ranks of the
women, even though the payment
of strike benefits was greatly cur.
tailed owing to the limited funds
on hand.
A few days ago several organi-
cations sent checks aggregating
81, 200 to the women's union (the
trimmers) at Newark, N. J. In
stead of paying the money to
their own members, the women
turned the whole amount over to
the general officers, saying: "Give
the money to the men who have
families to support. We will find
odd jobs of work to do to support
ourselves until this strike is won

TAFT'S MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS
Urges lawmakers to Tax Earn
ings Of Corporations.
THINKSITWOULD Benefit THEM

The Attorney General Will Draft the
Amendment to the Tariff Bill and q
Resolution to Submit to the States
an Amendment to Constitution to
Give Congress Power to Tax In
comes.
President William II. Taft has sent
to congress message In which he
urges the passage OF an amendment
to the tariff bill imposing a tax OF 2
per cent upon the undistributed net
earnings Of corporations. and the adop-
ton of resolution submitting to the
several states an amendment to tho
constitution giving to congress tn"
power to impose tax on incomes.
In order that there shall be no
question that the two propositions to
be recommended have the support of
the administration. Attorney General
Wickersham. according to present
plans. will draft both the amendment
and the resolution.
Not only is the president favorable
to an amendment providing for tax
upon the net earnings Of corporations.
because of the added revenue It would
produce. but much more so on account
Of the fact that he believes 1t would
bring about a helpful and healthy de-
gree of publicity relative to the af-
fairs of the corporations of the coun-
try. This. he believes. would be q re-
form which would produce great sat
isfaction to the people at large and at
the same time give the business cor
porations standing which otherwise
It would be impossible for them to
attain. This benefit to the corpora
lions 1t Is urged would arise from the
fact that II would in a way stamp
upon them the approval of the ma
tional government.
II is understood to be the presi-
dents opinion that provision for the
imposition of such tax can be framed
On the basis of the internal revenue
law. giving the government full power
to investigate the books Of corpora
lions for the purpose Of determining
their earnings.
