Philadelphia, May PA mysterious
malady which has completely baffIed
half a dozen physicians has overtaken
Owen Wister, the novelist. He remains
seriously though not dangerously Ill at
Butler Place, the old Wister home,
York road, on Olney avenue.
The sickness comes as a result of
severe nervous depression combined
with extreme physical weakness. and
the noted novelist must at least tenn
porarily give up his literary labor He
is under the care Of DR.. John X. Mitch
ELL son Of DR. Weir Mitchell and a
personal friend and classmate OF Mr..
Wister. He is now treating him for
nervous disorder The fact that other
specialists have been called into con-
sultation, and none of them have been
able to diagnose the disease only goes
to show the seriousness of its nature.
The noyelist's illness dates from the
death OF his mother about year ago.
Since that time he has worked but lit
tie and although his recovery has been
very marked for certain periods he has
always relapsed into this same mys-
terious malady.
His most noted work is the Virginian,
and he has his plans laid out for a
new novel and a play, but has not
touched them for several months.

PRIESTS REQUEST
RIGHT TO MARRY
RUTHENIAN CATHOLIC CoMMuN-
ITY IN THIS COUNTRY SENDS
DEPUTATIoN TO Plus x.

Rome. May 27.-The Rutherian
Ca.-.o-4e community in the United
States, numbering some 100000 mem
bers, chiefly Immigrants from Aus
tria- Hungary, have sent a deputauon
to the vatican to protest against the
withdrawal of the privilege to marry
heretofore enjoyed by their clergy.
In 1892, when Monsignor Ortensky
was sent by Rome to North America
as the first resident bishop, the Catho-
lie priests whom he had TO rule were
mostly married men with families.
Some years later the holy see made an
effort to enforce celibacy.
The position taken UP by the holy
see is that while it does not intend
to revoke the marriage concession in
the case of priests of the Eastern
innate churches ministering amid their
native environment, it cannot recog-
nize this right Of taking wife in
the cases of Ruthenian missionaries
who go beyond seas to evangelize
their co-religionists in lands where
the Latin rite holds sway.
Plus X Is the more srernIy resolved
to admit of no compromise because
at the present time the nti-celibacy
movement is rapidly growing among
the Roman Catholic priesthood in
European countries.

Princess de Sagan Awarded
Custody by French Court
Only Partial Victory for Anna
Gould'S Former Husband

Paris. May 27.The decision OF the
superior court on Count Boni de Cas-
tellane's appeal OF the case brought by
him for the custody of his children
was handed down today. and is a
partial victory for the count. Today's
decision confirms the decision of the
lower court giving the mother the Gus
tody of the children, but sets forth
that the father alone has the right to
choose an instructor and designate
the college in which the children are
to be educated.
Furthermore. Prince He'll de Sagan
is especially excluded from the list Of
persons authorized to visit the chill
dren. The counts contention thaC the
influence of the prince is pernicious is
thus in effect sustained. The costs of
appeal are divided.

minis, one of the progressive" leaders,
being first speaker of the day. He ad-
vocated the wiping out of the differen-
tial duty in the interest Of refined
sugar. Pointing out the danger to the
beet sugar development in the United
States by the continued admission of
free sugar from Porto Rico and HawafY
and Philippine islands, IL the pending
bill should authorize such admission
from the Philippines, Cummins ques-
toned the wisdom Of permitting cane
sugar to eventually kilrT the beet sugar
industry, as he said 1t might.
From Cuba in Time.
He said he had no doubt that Cuba
would also in time send her sugar here
free of duty. Interrupting, Senator
Foster suggested that he would join the
senator from Iowa in any effort he
might make to keep out free sugar
from the Philippines
Bounty Is Proposed.
Cummins declared that ample ability
exists to supply the entire demand for
sugar in the United States by the cul-
ture OF beets and he believed the time
had come to handle this question. He
commented upon the bounty as means
for protecting beet sugar growers but
did not offer an amendment for such
bounty. He opposed the inclusion of
the Dutch standard in the pending bill
at all and said it was in favor of the
cane industry and against the use Of
beet sugar.

sugar than to reduce it." he sAid.
