Gently created a sensation among
the local smart set.
behind Closed Doors
The hearing was held behind
closed doors and the reason for
Mrs. Astor's separation suit never
has been given to the public.
Justice Mills, who handed down
the decision, granted Mrs. Astor

that the papers in the case be
sealed.

New York upon which an absolute
divorce may be granted, society
people here are anxious to learn

100000 in Lieu of alimony and
Is to have the custody of her
daughter, while the couples son
remains with Colonel Astor.
| The proceedings consumed less
than a minute in open court.
Everything possible was done to
prevent the details of the case be-
looming known.

before Justice fills and handed
him a bundle of papers. saying:

fled to his broad acres, where he
treated all peacefully and kindly
lie counted his wealth by the hun
dreds of thousands and his friends
were an army.
He traced his lineage back
to the days of the Aztecs and OF
Cortez, and the mingled blood of
the Incas and old Spanish invad-
ers stamped him a grandee.
He had three children - a son,
Antonio, and two daughters, An
drea and Teresa.
Diaz wanted to prey on Vile
real as he has preyed on all rich
Mexicans. His children were old
enough to know what this meant
when they urged him to help in
the defeat of Diaz.
So these four-a loyal family
started what may later mean the
overthrow of the Diaz dynasty.

terious way on the Villereal plan

were poisoned.
None needed to ask the reason
for this. So Villereal turned much

DECLARED To
Be CARELESS
MOT0RMAN, TESTIFYING AT
INQUEST, SAYS E. s. BOLD.
MAN, WHOSE MACHINE
KILLED MRS. JESSIE MOORE,
DROVE AUTO AT RECKLESS
RATE.

II thought 1t was a very care
less trick for the chauffeur to
pass my car when l was feeding
the car up to full speed. Ho
easily passed me, and left me a
block behind when the accident
occurred" ."
The above statement was made
this morning by r. T. Trosper.
,motorman, in answer to a Qnes-
tion put to him in the inquest In
to the death of Mrs. Jessie Moore.
Trosper referred to Elmer s.
Boldman, who drove the machine
which struck Mrs. Moore October
30, as she was standing in the
street at the corner of Center and
NJ streets, the injuries resulting
in her death last Tuesday as the
st. Joseph's hospital.
TroFper was in charge Of the
street car, which Boldman asserts
left him no room to pass, becauss
number of people were waiting
on the street to board 1t, causing
the chauffeur to turn into NJ
street to avoid running into the
crowd.
Boldman asserts, further, that
at this juncture the auto sMdlded.
turned in the opposite direction
than intended, struck a ole with
the front wheels, and two women
with the rear wheels, as u re-
bounded.
Damaging Evidence.
Evidence this morning intro
duced by West Moore, husband of
Mrs. Moore, r. T. Trosper, the
Imotorman, and r. Gilbert, who
lives at 1908 Center street was
extremely damaging to Boidman,
and may result of his being found
guilty of criminal negligence and
charged with manslaughter. Gil
bert, who was an eye witness of
the affair stated that the auto
shot by him ike a bird, 1t went
so fast
Trosper's evidence was perhaps
the most damaging He testified
that he first noticed the auto rum
ming alongside his car about thres
blocks from the scene of the ac-
cident. He was getting up full
speed ON the car, which would or
dinarily be about 25 miles an
hour, he stated, but that 1t might
have been somewhat less and per-
haps only Is miles Just then, ow-
ing to a slight grade. The auto
mobile Travelled more than three
blocks to his two, and when the
accident occurred at NJ street tns
street car was just reaching o
street. fully a block away.
This testimony is in direct con-
tradiction of Boldlman's s statement
at the time of the accident that
the car was ahead of the automo-
bile.
Mr.. Moore testified that he first
noticed the automobile about SO
yards away, and that 1t had given
no warning of its approach. It
carried but one little light, he
said.
The inquest was continued this
Afternoon, and the jury will proba-
bly, return no verdict till sometime

1t says in part regarding the Buck
Stove & Range case and the decis-
ion of the Washington, d. c.,
courts:
"Might Have Deferred Decision"
This passing comment appears
apropos. 1t is that an unpreju-
diced, impartial Judge might well
have deferred a decision in a con-
tempt case alleging violation of an
INDUCTION while an appeal upon the
validity of the injunction itself
was pending and was being consid-
cred for decision by higher court
and further, that the unprecedent-
ed sentences imposed were entire
ly in conflict with the spirit and
plain provision of the constitution
as being cruel and unusual.

Dared to Defend Rights
"What are the offenses for
which Mitchell, Morrison and
are sentenced to long
months of Imprisonment, and
the ignominy of being classed
as criminals? We have
dared to defend our cOnstitu-
tional rights as men and as

invade the rights of free
speech and free press secured
to the Anglo-Saxon people

ton of the first amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States.

more adequate punishment than

ALABAMA CITIES AFTER

Birmingham, Mar. 21.--tSpeciai.) )-A dozen Alabama cities and towns at least will make an effort to locate the Widows and Orphans Home to be erect ed by the Grand Lodge of Alabama, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. the corner stone of which, the committees expect to have laid during this year.
 The Home will be one of the most substantial in the country, the Grand Lodge to expend at least fifty thous- and dollars thereon and more. If the needs present themselves. while every Mason in the domain will contribute after the first building has been erect ed not only to maintain the institu- tion in proper manner but to add to it when once it Is in existence.
 The committee of the Grand Lodge of Alabama having the Home matter in hand will hold meeting In Birm- ingham at the Masonic Temple on April 18th. There are between fifteen and twenty members of this committee, all prominent men from various parts of the State. Ben M. Jacobs, of Birm- ingham. Past Grand Master. is chair man of the committee, and he expects every member to be on hand for this meeting. The plans of receiving bids for the location and the exact manner in which the place will be selected, will be outlined.
 Some tentative offers have been dis cussed, for instance Montevallo. c small but aristocratic settlement half way between Birmingham and Montgomery. In . part of the State where good cli- mate is obtained and the health condi- tions are splendid, has offered large acreage in addition to t12.o0o towards the fund.
 Among the first places seeking the home are mentioned in addition to Montevallo, Anniston. Hartselle. Gull man, Troy and Mobile, all in different parts of the State. This list of names will be improved on before the meet ing in April or by the time the matter is to be settled on definitely.

T wish I could induce every mother who has a weak. sickly child, to try that delicious cod liver preparation, vinol! Our little daughter was pale, thin and sickly. She had no appetite and no ambition.
 We tried various medicines, but without any benefit whatever, and she could mot take cod liver oil or emul- sions. as they nauseated her and up- set her stomach.
 Learning that vinol contains all the medicinal and strength creating properties of cod liver oil, but with out the disagreeable oil. and tonic iron added, we decided to try it, and the results were marvellous. It gave her hearty appetite; the color returned to her. cheeks and she Is stronger and In better health than she has been for years.
 T cannot say enough in favor of Vinol for weak, delicate children"- Mrs. c. W. Stump. Canton, o. There is nothing equal to vinol for delicate, ailing children. and feeble old people. to build up strength and re- store a normal healthy condition Those who try it and receive no bene- at may, have their money returned on demand-that's your guarantee.
