Daughter of Millionaire Packer Gets
Decree In Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Mrs. Ruth May
Swift Eversz was granted decree
of absolute divorce from her husband
Ernest Hammond Eversz, by Judge
Gibbons yesterday The divorce fol
lowed a petition charging desertion
which was filed Saturday. Eversz filed
his reply Monday, denying the allega-
tons. Mrs. Eversz Is the daughter of
the millionaire packer, Gustavus Swift,
deceased. The principals were married
November S, 1902. and lived together
until two years ago. Friends of the
two, though, were not aware of this
separation until three months ago,
when Mr.. Eversz left their Michigan
avenue home and went to live at the
Union League club. The disposition
OF Mr.. Eversz to defend himself be
came apparent when he filed an an
swer to his wife's bill denying that
she was entitled to have the bonds
of matrimony existing between hel
and the defendant dissolved and an
nulled," that she had treated him kind
ly, or that she had always conducted
herself in manner becoming true
wife"

FRENCH-TEUTON TREATY
LAYS MOROCCO SPECTER
Contentious Of Both Countries Are
Respected In Adjustment Of
Difficulties.

Paris, Feb. 10.-France and Germany
have signed a far-reaching agreement
concerning Morocco, thus banishing
specter which for years has loomed
up internationally as the cause of
strained relations between the two
countries. OF more importance still,
perhaps, than the actual settlement of
pending difficulties and the harmonic
ing of views concerning Morocco is
the moral effect of establishing
broad basis of friendly relations be-
tween two nations, which have been
separated, SO to speak, since the war
of 1870.
The agreement signed guarantees
the integrity of Morocco and insures
perfect allegiance to the terms of the
Algeciras act. France recognizes
Germany"s economic interests in Mo-
rocco, while Germany recognizes the
particular political interest of France
there.
The agreement points out that the
signatories are animated by a mutual
desire to facilitate the operations of
lAe ttl6eClIdS dCL WIFI lu6 view VI
avoiding all cause of misunderstood
ing between them in the future"
France promises to maintain the in
tegrity and independence of the Mo-
roccan empire and declares that she is
resolved to safeguard the economic
equality and not to embarrass the
commercial and industrial interests
Of Germany"
Germany, whose interest in Moroc-
co is merely economical, recognizes
that the particular political interests
OF France are closely linked to the
consolidation of order and peace in
the interior of Morocco" and she
agrees not to interfere with these in
tereSts
In conclusion the signatories prom
Use neither to pursue nor encourage
any measure designed to create an
economic privilege in their favor or in
favor of any other power, and they
agree that they will endeayor to as
sociate their peoples in commercial
enterprises launched in Morocco.

Mr.. Taft said:
Il am not prepared now to make a
statement as to the results of the trip to

found the work progressing in most
satisfactory way; the organization bet
ter than ever; the esprit de corps ex-
cellent and the determination of all,
even the humblest laborer, directed to
the building of the canal. l am sure
this has impressed itself upon every
one Of the board of visiting engineers
as 1t has upon me.
with reference to the type of the
canal and the continuance Of the pres
ent plans, the engineers promise that
they will be able to hand me their re-
port by the time we land at New Or

r. r. Commission Misunderstood.
Des Moines, Ia.-'Tf there was ever
a misunderstood public service cor
poration that faithfully served the
people of state. it is the present
railroad commission of Iowa"
Goaded by a question from Repre-
sentative Swift Of Shelby county as
to whether the commission did not
invariably consult the railroads be-
fore making an order, James q.
Davis, general counsel in Iowa for
the Northwestern road. made this
statement in an emphatic defense of
the commission at hearing before
the railroad committee of the house.
Isn't it fact" inquired Mr.. Swift,
after an argument against the bill
fixing a penalty for failure to obey
orders of the commission by Mr..
Davis, isn't 1t a fact that the commits
sion always consults you gentlemen
before making an order and that If
you are opposed to the granting OF
petition it is practically impossible
to get action within the life time OF
any man here?"
Mr.. Davis showed some heat in his
reply. 1.-THE commission never con
suits us or refers to u.s. said he,
They never come to us and ask
whether we want such an order made
The fact is that they have made some
outrageous orders, and II you will
look at the records you will find that
their orders are all against US"
The Swift bill was recommended
for passage by unanimous vote. l
provides a penalty of $50 day TO
failure by any road to comply will
