IRON ORE DUTY
UP FOR DISCUSSION
Burrows Declares There Is Enough
Iron Ore In This Country
to Last Us for Six
Thousand
Years

Washington, May 13.-"The situa-
tlon in Washington today is such
that you cannot get the truth out OF
anybody, | am fond of liars. l have
studied them day and night but never
in my life saw such an aggregation
as are assembled in the capitol now.
They can lie with equal facility on
either side of the same question:
This burst forth from Senator Ray
ner this morning in the discussion on
the iron ore schedules. Rayner plead
ed for free ore in behalf Of independ-
ent companies and was met with the
statement by Smith that Charles NJ.
sjchwab had said that to put iron ore
on the free list would not reduce the
price of the manufactured article.
After roll call in the Senate had
shown SO senators present today,
Senator Burrows spoke In favor of
d duty on iron ore as source of rev.
enue. The present duty of forty
cents, which the committee propos-
es to reduce to twenty-five cents,
yields, he said, a revenue of $332, 900,
which would be lost by placing iron
ore on the free list as proposed by
the House.
Burrows said 1t is rr. .souable ia
state that $4,000 men are receiving
$31 100000 annually in the produc-
tion of iron ore, which industry, he
said. it is now proposed to open to
the competition of the world
Quoting from the advance sheets of
the next annual report of the geologi-
cal survey. he said there are now g.

available in the United States, while
there are about 10000, 100000 tons of
low grade ore available. Speaking of
the basis of facts, Burrows said:
The Senator from South Dakota
yesterday told us that our iron ore
deposits would be exhausted i'm thirty
years but according TO the geological
survey. at the rate of consumption
now. the ore will last 5000 years. so
there need be no concern on that
score"
The senator also discussed the iron
ore schedule saying that if the SEN
ate should reject the act of the com
mittee on finance in placing a duty
of % cents ton on iron ore he would
later move that the article be placed
on the free list He said that the
duty would rebound to the benefit OF

and injure the independent mills who
are compelled to buy imported ore

DIVORCED MAN CAN
Be HELD FOR ALIMOkY
Judge Declares They are Never safe.
No Matter How Many Years
Elapse.

Chicago, May 13.-Divorced men
have received a shock from Judge
Farlin q. Ball that has caused not "a
few of them to seek the advice of
lawyers.
Although divorced so years, rs the
decision of the jurist, and although
no mention of alimony was made in
the decree, no divorced man is safe
from the payment of alimony SO long
as his former wife lives and fails %
marry.
Judge Ball announced that, while
a decree of divorce ended the other
marital obligations, the duty OF a
husband to support his wife and her
right to demand and receive such
support was not thereby ended.
In other words, wife wno obtain
ed divorce 25 years ago, or even
SO, can bob up unexpectedly and,
having discovered that her former
spouse has become wealthy or merely
well fixed may go into court and
successfully demand her "rights.
That is, of course, provided sac
has not married in the meantime or
did not accept stipulated alimony
when she was divorced
Even though the divorced husband
has married again, become the father
u ten children, and may be even a
grandfather, the former wifes rights
TO alimony are not thereby hampered
or annuled in any way. Several lead
ing attorneys when questioned about
the decision, declared it was good law
and had been since the days of Black
