BLOW TO DivoRCTES.
Nevada Justice Rules That Both Par
ties Must be Residents.

RENO. New, April 9.-Justice Orr
rendered a decision yesterday that
both parties to divorce action must
be bona fide residents. The Sothern
divorce suit Is said to be almost iden-
tical with the case in question.
The decision was given In the case
of Rowland vs.. Rowland. In which the
wife came here and caused papers to
be served on her husband during a
brief business visit. The court held
such action to be illegal. He declared
the law did not throw the courts OF
Nevada open to the world so that peo-
pie might come here, stay day or so,
the complainant starting the action
and the defendant coming into the
state To be served. and thus confer
Jurisdiction on the court. III such
were the intention he added then |
must say that Dakota in her palmy
days could not approach the mark that
Nevada will make In her divorce laws.
The statue applies only in the case of
a bona fide resident OF the state. serv-
ed in whatever Jurisdiction he may be
found I'm the state.
There are at least 30 men and wom-
en- here to procure divorces TO whom
the decision will apply.

POLICE TO LEARN BOXING.
Commissioner Says There Will Be
Less Use for Clubs.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Fourth Dep
uty Commissioner Woods. who father
ed the idea OF adding dogs to the
police department, is responsible now
for a plan to employ experienced pu.
gilists and wrestlers to train the new
policemen who go TO the police train
ing school. He has already a jiu-
jitsu teacher who will presently be-
gin giving lessons. and the deputy
commissioner is searching the force
for policemen who know how to box
and wrestle. AS he finds them he
details them TO the training school.
The new men will be put through
two hours OF boxing and wrestling
each week." said the deputy commits
sioner. I'VE have some men who are
record-holders to teach the policemen.
and after six months or so we hope
to have the scrappicst lot OF police
men who were ever members OF any
club. Boxing and wrestling give
healthy exercise, and a policeman
should know how 10 box and wrestle.
II they all knew. there would be less
use for club and guns with equally as
good results In handling prisoners.

RAILROADS BUILT

Platform Extending Ahead of
Engine Perform Work.

TURNER. n. Y. April "a me-
chanical track layer which marches
across the cougltry building 40 feet Of
railroads a minute. is the latest tri-
umph OF construction engineers.

sidered the most important achieve

vent Of the sbaam shovel. builds track

the railroad is built
In average CO untry the new machine
can lay four m, les of track a day. In
an emergency | makes a half mile an
hour. II has past been introduced on
the Erie railroad in a 40-mile cutoff
through this pluce.
The machine consists OF a locomo-
tice, train of fat carsl and an ever
changing verandah-like platform ex-
tending 6S feet ahead OF the engine at
about 10 feet above tn track.
Around this overch'anging projec-
ton runs an endless chain, which car
res the ties. On the under side. rails
come out, and al a signal drop TO the
ground.
The locomotive rhoves slowly but
steadily along. dro pping the ties at
the regulation 1S-ir ch distance. AS
these are straighteI led. the rail comes
down The spikers have time TO make
tie and rail fast before the locomotive
reaches them.
AS the track is Ia id. the engine
runs over ii. It's tho same principle
as man crossing muddy street with
an armful of dry ston es or sticks. He
drops them ahead OF him, one at a
time. and walks ahes d over them.
The additional ii, IS and rails are
carried on tram roT lers on the train
OF fiat cars the Il locomotive draws.
These are drawn I onward along the
train by steam pow err.
The new machin was first used
here. On its first half day there was
a crew OF 20 Aust rians who were I'M
nsed to railroad work. Yet the ma
chine demonstrat ed Its usefulness by
putting in $500 feet of track.
