GETS CHILDREN SIX WEEKS.
Judge Burpee Grants Decision in Divorce Case Against Baroness Won Romberq of Germany.

In a decision handed down Friday by Judge Burpee of the superior court at Bridgeport in the action Of Waiter C- MorrelI of Greenwich and New York against his former wife, now Baroness yon Romberg, of Berlin, Germany, ask ing that the decree of divorce granted her and under which she was given the custody of the two minor sons of the couple be so modified that MorreH De awarded the custody of the children, 1t is directed that the children, who are now with the mother in Germany be brought to New York city under prop CT escort for six weeks of each year to be in the custody of MT. MorrelL The decision directs that the trip be made after July l each year, and that the Baroness von Romberg pay the ex- penses of the trip to this country. MT. Morrell is to defray the expenses Of the return trip. The children are to be back in Berlin before Oct. 1. In his action Morrell asked that the custody of the children be awarded him on the ground that the baroness was not a proper person to have charge of them. He objected to having the boys given a German education, which he said would tend to make them German sub- iects. He desired the children to be given an American education. It was also claimed that the terms of the decree of divorce had provided that the father should see the children for six weeks each year. but that this decree had been violated by the baroness when she had taken the children to Gafr1anU

HAWAII HAS PROSPEROUS YEAR.
Labcrsrs Are Well off-orientaI Pop ulation is Kept Up by Many Births.

Washington, Dec. l9.-Hawaii. though losing some of it's Oriental population ey emigration, promises to make up the loss in part by births The depart ures of Japanese during the fiscal year 1909 far exceeded the arrivals Among the immigrants from that country, how ever, there has been during the past few years a large increase in the per- centage of women. The decrease in Chinese due to departures and non- arrival is largely offset by births and the arrival of Chinese children desir- ing to attend school
 These facts are shown in the annual report of Governor w. Frear, made public Saturday. Hawaii had a gcod year according to the governor. and Further progress has been made in the development of industries, particularly in thosa suitable for small proprietors. Imports and exports amounted to $61,- g46,4S4.
 The condition of the laborers ia rather an enviable one. For some years, the governor says there has been disposition among the sugar planters to improve if, and to increase the num- bers of those who will be citizens and home owners. A large proportion of the work Of laborers is by contract. The great majority of them. perhaps 90 per cent, receive considerably more than the minimum wages of SIS per month, with house and lot, fuel, med- ical attendance, and water.

HATS OFF TO SLATER.
He's the Bold Virginia Who Has Of-
 fered to Marry Carrie Nation.

Let the name of "a Virginian named Slater" be scratched over the main entrance to the Hall of Fame, between those of Bosco, the Snake Eater. and ''ny friend, Carl Akeny of Chicago" who choked a lion to death with his bare hands, and crushed a leopards S lungs with his bare knees. The Wash ington spondents-being busy. no doubt, with their Christmas shoppin- have neglected to send out the given name of Mir. Slater, but regarding hisc valor they are eopiously eloquent. He is no hcommon hero of the garden varlety-no cheap pursuer of runaway horses or rescuers of boat rockers at Sunday school picnics or slayer of se- nile hippopotami-but a veritable Olympian. heaven-kissing, unrivaled, unique To come to the point at once. MT. Slater has offered to marry Car rie Nation.
 The true quality of this remarkable offer, we fear. will not be apparent at once. On it's face, indeed, it appears to be nothing more than an act of reckless bravado-a symptom of braggadocia spirit, more picturesque than brave. But a careful examina- ton of the nature of human marriage, and particularly of marriage with an elderly widow armed to the teeth. in- vests it with colossal daring. Even under circumstances the most favora- ble the ordinary man turns pale at the altar. Elaborate precautions are taken to divert his mind from the fu- ture, but with all that he still trem- bles. It if were not for the fact that his faculties are benumbed by the loud music. the rattling of bangles and ar tifcial palms. an dthe ecstatic buzzing of the unmarried ladies in the audi ence and the further fact that his dis trust is allayed by the appearance of the bride, who Is carefully schooled to shrinking gentleness, he would jump out of the window.
 But the man who marries Carrie will benefit by no such benign deceits and anodynes. If there is any music at all it will the alarming cacophony of flies and snare drums. And Carrie herself will wear no mask of tulle and talcum. Upon her face will be that same stern frown which bartend- CTS see the silent watches of the night: upon her head will be that same black bonnet which has long breathed such eloquent threats and in her hand will be the ancient symbol and in strument of her grim calling-her gilt tering hatchet with its sinister liquor ish stains. Fancy the agitation of the bridegroom when her glance fixes himi Fancy it-and then fall on your face before that Virginian named Slater" He belongs to the old race of giants Of such were the men who braved the demons beyond Jebel-al- Tarik and rid the earth of goblins, tyrants, and cromancy.-Baltimor Sun.

HILL DOES NOT FEAR STRIKE.
Says Railroad Men Are Well Paid and
 Do Not Want One.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 19.-In discussing general railroad conditions of the coun- try. James,J. Hill of the Great North ern contends that, with the advance in cost of all materials required for construction and maintenance of rail- roads, the large railroad systems of the country are having trouble to make ends meet.
 Engineers and trainmen," said MT. Hill, when asked concerning the agita- ton In the east for a general strike among railroad employees, "are among the best paid laborers in the country, and their wages have been increased more during the last five years than those of any other class of workmen. For that reason I think the possibility or general strike among these men is altogether remote, and, in fact, not considered seriously by the men them selves.
 ''The recent strike by the switchmen employed on the Northern railroads vas result more of rivalry between two organizations of these employees than from any other cause. The organiza- ton which ordered the walk out hop ed to be successful and in that way at tract to its membership all switchmen employed on the other railroad sys- tems who are affiliated with the Order Of Railway Trainmen. But it required only three days to place this strike where it failed to prove troublesome to the railroads. As result the strike exists in name only"

MAY BE NATURALIzED.
Letter Received in Hartford Brings
 Good News to Asiatics.

A letter has been received at the of- flee of the clerk of the United States court in Hartford nuIlifying the effect of letter received some time ago from the bureau of immigration and natu- ralization concerning the naturaIiza- tion of Asiatics. The former letter, which was sent to clerks of courts ex- ercising jurisdiction in naturalization proceedings, directed them to refuse to receive petitions for naturalization of persons from Asia. Section 2,169 of the federal statutes provides for nat uralization of white persons and per- sons of African nativity or descent" !" The former letter interprted the statute as excluding persons coming from Asia.
 The recent letter will bring glad news to many who have been on the anxious seat for fear they could not be citizens of the United States. There are Armenians. Syrians and others who have been besieging Deputy Clerk Richard F. Carroll for naturalization papers. No reason is given for the re- versal on the part of the bureau at Washington. A reason which Mir. Car roll gave was that there was a case in the federal courts which was being tried out involving the point in ques- tion, which was now settled, but he could not say positively that that was the reason. The letter is as follows: Department of Commerce and Labor,

 The appraiser then returned to the subject of Mrs. Astor's furniture.
 I understand you to say that the chairs in the ballroom were rickety and in a dipalidated condition?"
 Yes, sir"
 Describe the clock in the entrance hall"
 Tt was a type of grandfathers clock. seven feet high, with a good set of works in it. It was about the newesti thing they had about there"
 What was the condition of the high back sofas in the ballroom?"
 They were covered with brocade and were very soiled."

 Yes, 1t was both.'
 How about the clock and mantel ornaments valued at $15?"
 That is an old, broken thing; the clock not going, and I don't think you could do anything at all with it."
 What about the wardrobe?"
 The wardrobe is represented by stained doors"
 Tt was not built in"
 NO, just loose piece"
 At this point the appraiser seemed to think that he had learned all he cared to know about the condition of Mrs. Astor's home. He put this final ques- ton.
 You want to be understood that 'alp the furniture, carpets and rugs in the house were in somewhat 'dilapidated' eondition?''
 Well" returned MT. Price, "in a somewhat worn condition. The rug on the second floor bedroom, for instance, was full of holes, fully six to twelve Inches long, and tackled to the floor to hold it in place. Such a rug is not worth anything"
 This concluded MT. Prices testimony before Appraiser Yereance.

New York, Dec. 19.-The testimony cf Norman H. Price, an employe of the dry goods firm which appraised the in- terior furnishings of the home of Mrs. Caroline Wsskster Astor at SAP Fifth avenue, has been filed in the Nsurro gates court in connection with the re- port of Tax Appraiser James Yereance.
 The testimony showed that Mrs. As tors pearls were not the only imita- tions amongt her possessions. It also shows that Mrs. Astor, although her husband left fortune estimated to be between $6oDo0, 900 and $70,000, ,000 and she owned several million dollars worth of lroperty herself. allowed her Fifth avenue mansion to become "di- lapidated" as ito it's interior, so that she passed the Last years of her life in the midst of tarnished splendor
 According to the appraiser, the fur niture, carpets and rugs were in a worn and soiEed condition when he made his valuation of the interior last spring, and the richnes and beauty of the Astor homo had become a thing of bygone days.
 The testimony was taken last July before Appraiser Yereance and in the presence of George A. Lavalle, attorney for the state controller, and Parsons, Closson & McIfvaine, attorneys for the three executors of the will, John Jacob Astor, Marshall Orrne Wilson and Will liam M. Cruikshank. MT. Price said that he had been making estimates of house furnishings for his employers for the last ten years. When asked if the furniture in the Fifth avenue home was new he replied that most of it was very oid--that it had come from the old Astor home at Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue.
 Mfrs Astor's husband died many years ago. and the furniture was the household furniture and effects in use turing his hfetime?" asked the ap- praiser.
 Yes, 1t was" answered MT. Price.
 What was the character of the sining room furniture?" was the next question.
 'It was very old-fashioned; old ta- bles painted black with gold rims"
 What about the hangings in the filming room7"
 They are practically worth noth- Ing
 Mir. Price in his valuation of the in- kerior of the Astor home had ap- praised the room of Mrs. Charlotte A. Haig on the third floor at $430 He told the appraiser that Mrs. Haig was sick at the time he went to the house.
 You certainly did not personally examine the things fin Mrs. Haig's 4CSAL SAFO4A HI ySdL SSA0duAc dSh6Q MT. Yereanc@.

 How did you come to put the value of the articles there?"

 You did not see the furniture your selfy' the appraiser pursued.

 Why do you say that this was all old furniture

 What do you understand by new furniture?'

 MT. Yereance then turned his in quiry to various articles of furniture which had been valued at low figures in the experts report.
 Describe the hangings in the recep- ton room, valued at $10," he said.
