tion in point of number Of students.
These are Michigan State university,
Chicago Kent Law college, University

The department was established IN
1904, in which year sixty-one students
were enrolled, and each succeeding year
has shown an increase. In 1905 the

surprised while robbing the home OF
]. A. Hill, a contractor, at 1927 West
Eleventh street, last night, burglar,
after a short struggle with Roy Hill,
freed himself from the latter's grasp
and drawing a revolver forced young
Hill and his father to hold up their
hands while he made his escape with
jewelry valued at $100.
Hill and his family passed the day at
the beach. They returned home shortly
after o'clock and young Hill, slightly
in advance of his father, opened the
front door and stepped inside. AS he
did so he saw man ransacking the
drawers of the dresser in one OF the
front rooms.
The young man sprang at the IN
truder and grappled with him, at the
same time calling to his father for as
sistance. Just as the older man was
about to grasp the burglar the latter
broke away and drawing a revolver
forced them to hold up their hands.
The burglar then backed away with
the jewelry in his possession and made
his escape through rear door.
The police were notified and several
detectives were sent to the scene. They
were unable to find any clew as to the
identity of the burglar, but were given
a good description of the man.
Among the articles stolen were
lady's gold watch and a fountain pen.

DIVORCE CASES TO
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
JUDGE JAMES TO TAKE UP
LITIGATION MONDAY
Number of Filings in Court Where
Mlsmated Couples Air Their
Grievances Amounts to
1893 Applications

After six weeks of inactivity, during
which Judge w. P. James has been
ENJOYING a vacation, the wheels or the
divorce mill, with its hopper filled al
most to overf1owing, will begin grind
ing out DEGREES at 10 o'clock Monday.
Before leaving the court house Au-
gust 1, Judge James ordered con-
tinuance of large number OF undis-
posed cases until his return.
These leftovers have been increased
by new suits, filed on an average of six
or seven a day, the total filings from
the date of the courts closing to yes
terday numbering 1879. The largest
number filed on any one day during
the past six months was last Tuesday
when fourteen suits were recorded.
Judge James will preside in the d.
vorce court until November l, when
this class of cases will be transferred
to department No. 3, where Judge
Houser presides. Six months later
Judge Hutton of department four viii
begin hearing the never-ending stories
of domestic troubles, and half year
more will see these cases in Judge
Conrey's court, and so on, in rotation
until all departments, excepting the
criminal, juvenile and probate courts,
have become the theaters for the re-
citals of the tribulations incident TO
the life of mismated couples.
Justice Courts Are Busy
hile the divorce court calendar is
crowded with cases the Justice courts
also have their quota of actions bear
ing some similarity to the suits for
legal separation in that the principals,
while not demanding severance or
the matrimonial bonds, are called upon
to tell the story of domestic friction
with almost as much detail as If they
were seated in the witness chair OF the
higher tribunal.
These justice court cases grow out OF
the law recently passed by the legisla-
ture making abandonment or failure
to provide on the part Of husband
a felony, punishable by imprisonment
in the penitentiary. Since the law was
passed, and especially during the last
month, these cases have made up the
major portion Of criminal actions in
the lower courts. But one conviction
has resulted, two men are awaiting
trial on the charge in the criminal de-
partment of the superior court, and
other cases have been dismissed or the
defendants given suspended sentences
during good behavior
In many instances the testimony
showed that the law was being used
by wives as a club to compel recalci-
trant husbands to keep away from sa-
looms and remain under their watehful
eyes.
