HIS COURT NOT
A DIVORCE MILL
Judge Pike of Reno Declines to
Take Jurisdiction of the
S0thern Case.

Reno. New, April 19.-Judge Pike of
the Washoe county district court today
announced his refusal TO entertain ju-
risdiction in the celebrated proceedings
begun last July BY Virginia Harmed
Sothern, the actress feE. divorce from
her celebrated husband. E. II. Sothern.
Judge Pixies decision, it is conceded,
settles beyond question the fact that
Virginia Harmed Sothern can not Sc
cure a divorce from her husband unless
either she or her husband comes to the
state and takes up such a residence
here as proves cOnclusively a bona fide
intention to remain here
The particular point settled is that
on complaint flied by a nonresident
plaintiff with process served on a nom
resident defendant. who happens to be
temporarily in the state. no jurisdic-
ton is secured for the purpose of allow
ing a divorce decree.
Such was Mrs. Sothern's case She
never came to Nevada, so far as can
be learned, cOntenting herself with
signing her petition in the east. for
warding the same to Nevada. where il
was OppoTtUnely served on SOtheTn
while he happened to be in Reno.
Mrs. SOtheTn relied on a part of the
divorce law which allows a decree based
on service on the defendant in the ccun-
ty where he may be found" Judge
Pike declares this means where he
may be found as a bona fide resident
Of the state"

OFFERS HIMSELF TO SCIENCE
Physician Exposes Arm to Infection In
Order to Determine Nature
of Disease.

Philadelphia.-For the sake of medi-
cal science and to determine the ma
ture of the straw" disease, which was
discovered several weeks ago among
sailors of p. A. B. Widener's yacht Jo-
sephine ond other harbor craft. DR..
Joseph Goldberger, an attache of the
local marine hospital service, has gone
to Washington with his arm mass of
blisters and small psmples that the sci
entists there may study the strange
disease.
DIR. Goldberger was assisted in his
experiment by DR.. Jay F. Shamberg of
the Hospital for Contagious Diseases,
who was inoculated with virus of DR..
Goldberger's arm.
From the time the disease was first
reported the government, state and
city authorities have been interested
in it. In view of the fact that many
cases of it have been treated as hives,
the physicians believe there are many
cases that have not been reported.
Whether the disease is due to a
fungoid or other vegetable germ is un-

known. All that is definitely known OF
the strange malady is that number
of sailors were afflicted with it after
having slept ON new straw mattresses.
DR.. Goldberger barred his arm for sew
eral hours and placed it between two
mattresses which were suspected OF
being infected. In the course of few
days his case developed and he estab-
lished its existence in the mattresses
DR.. Shamberg determined to go a
step further to ascertain whether the
disease was contagious. DR.. Goldberg

VALUE OF SHEEP
AND GOATS
Their Use In Clearing Brush
Land for Cultivation.

Much has been said, written and
done of late years regarding the
great value of goats. clearing brush
land for cultivation or for the growth
of permanent grass. 1t is true that
goats are great browsers on brushy
land and that. they will soon clear
such land of undesirable growth. How
ever, they are to be recommended for
this use only when all the brush and
trees on the land are to be removed.
If some of the trees are to remain
for shade or timber purposes, the
goats will bark many of them, causing
the neither to die or to become de-
formed and almost unfit for use.
The writer has Just visited a large
estate in the hill land of Missouri.
where the estate is being partially
cleared for permanent blue grass pas
ture. Undesirable trees are cut out
and the best trees of best timber
value are left standing. Among the
good trees on this land which are
preserved for growth and future
utility are the black locusts. which
are widely known as an excellent
timber for fence posts, telephone
poles and railroad ties. The goats
are not content to browse on the ten
der sprouts alone, but they persist in
chewing the bark from the black To-
Gust trees and number of other val
liable trees SO as to permanently in
jure them.
Sheep will keep down sprouts and
weeds on cleared land almost as eff
fectiyely as will goats. and they do
not have the pernicious habit of try
Ing to eat the large trees which may
be left in the field. II the trees and
other undesirable growth are cut out,

104 pounds. All of the second feeding

were mainly disposed of before the
spring rise in prices otherwise finan-
cial results would have been greater)
booming wool market added materi-
ally to the profits. These lambs en-
joyed popularity in killing circles.
They dressed well and were regarded
by buyers as fully up to the standard
OF lambs fed on hay and grain. The
grain delegation brought no better
prices than the silage-fed contingent
The granted band consumed more
than twice as much grain as the
others.
All this relates to pea. not corn

stance was cannery waste. The exper-
iment has determined the feeding
value of pea silage in combination
with small corn ration. 1t indicates
possibilities for vast extension Of

proper, embracing Wisconsin. Michi-
gan and Minnesota, where the pea
