Planning Big Labor Congress.

Ralph NJ. Easley, chairman of
the Executive Committee of the
National Civic Federation, has
Just returned to New York from
European trip, the purpose OF
which was to sound important
government and labor organiza-
tons OF Europe as to the practi-
cability of a great international
labor congress to be held in the
United States next year. The
main object in view is to bring
to bear light on American labor
problems. Mr.. Easley will not
make his formal report until No
vember Is, but he makes no con-
cealment of the fact that the pro-
iect was we'll received every
where. He quotes John Burns
the English labor minister, with
insisting that the shortening OF
the labor day is an international,
not a national problem. Some OF
the things to be worked out in
such a congress are methods oil
Cancellation, arbitration, trade
agreements, the shorter day, en-
ployers' liability, age pensions,
industrial insurance, employment
bureaus, child and women labor,
etc. Thus many of the devices al
ready adopted IN England,
France and Germany would be
brought(to the attention OF Amer
lean labor leaders and statesmen
AS for general labor conditions in
Europe, says MIR. Easily, the
unions in England are stronger
than the Socialists, while in
France the Socialists are now a
nreat menace

DELAYS of Law Mitigated.

1t would seem that the law 5
delays which even in the time
of Shakespeare had passed into
proverb, are to be mitigated, if
not abolished. President Taft
seems in deadly earnest in at
lacking the abuses, and, what is
more encouraging, he has very
practical and definite ideas as to
methods of working a reform. In
both criminal and civil proceed
ures the procrastination OF judi
cial processes often end in the
miscarriage of justice. 1t is to be
hoped that congress will act
promptly and wisely on the sug-
gestions which the president will
make.

TITUS IS SUED
FOR A DIVORCE
FOR DES[RTION
Complaint Filed Secretly in
Oakland by Attorney for
Wife Of Capitalist
Head OF CIaremont Hotel Com-
pany Refuses to Discuss
Action Of Spouse


OAKLAND, Sept. 2s.r-Louis Titus,
capitalist, attorney, head of the Clare
mont hotel company. and former presi-
dent of the Peoples water company,
was defendant in an action for divorce
secretly filed by Mrs. Lottie H. Titus
today.
Mrs Titus action. though sunan-
nounced, did not occasion surprise
eral years they have been separated.
Titus moved long since from the family
home. $500 Durant avenue. Berkeley,
to Oakland.
The complaint which was filed in the
county clerks Office on behalf of Mrs.
Titus by her attorney. Guy c. Earl,
was of the most perfunctory character,
alleging merely desertion as the ground
for divorce.
Family Differences Known
Among those who have known some
thing of the family differences. it has
been whispered that the troubles were
due to temperamental causes. In 1906
Titus left his beautiful Berkeley home
and went to live with relatives in Oak
land. For some time after that Mrs.
Titus and the children lived at the
Berkeley place, but they left there a
year or so ago, after a mysterious
burglary, in which some valuable pa
pers were stolen. The residence was
subsequently leased to Banker Good
man of Napa.
AT the time of the burglary it was
revealed that Titus and his wife were
living apart. though neither the capi-
talist. his wife, nor relatives on either
side would admit that a serious situa-
tion existed
Titus has been an extremely busy
man the last wey years. When the
realty syndicate interests with which
he came into relations through the
Syndicate water company deal on San
Pablo creek watershed took over the
Contra Costa water company, Titus was
made president. He held this position
Until the recent reorganization of the
directorate He has resumed attention
to his law practice. He is member
of the San Francisco firm of Wright,
Titus & Creed.
No Contest Is Expected
Titus married in 1892 in Tulare
county. His wife was Lottie Hill, the
daughter of DR.. Kate Childs Hill. who
lives at 2931 Pine avenue. in the Clare
mont district. There are three chill
dren, Dorothy, 10 years of age; Lyman,
years old. and Katherine, years old.
all with their mother.
1t is said that Titus will make no
contest and that settlement of prop
erty interests has been effected.
Titus refused to talk concerning the
divorce suit saying: Il know Moth
ing about it. 1 have nothing to say
In fact, SO far as I can see, there is
nothing to be said"
