MRS. LEAV|TT
GETS DIVORCE
Mrs. Bryan Testifies Ir
Daughters Behalfs
HUSBAND NOT REPRESENTED
Decree Based on Failure to
Provide-Gets Custody
Of Two Children.

Lincoln, Neb., March 10.-Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Leavitt, eldest daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. William ]. Bryan, was grant
ed divorce this afternoon by Judge
Cornish, of the Equity division Of
District Court, from William Homer
Leavitt, an artist whom she married
Lincoln October 3, 1903.
The decree was based on nonsupport
The hearing was very brief. The
plaintiff testified that soon after her
marriage to the defendant her parents
began to contribute to her support.
She stated that at one time they had
sent her $500 and on two other &C.
casions $500 each from them. She
had not seen Mr.. Leavitt for two
years. She was asked If the defend
ant was an able-bodied man, and she
replied in the affirmative.
Mrs. w. ]. Bryan testified that she
had visited her daughter at Denver
soon after her marriage in a house
which she and her husband furnished.
She corroborated the statement of
Mrs. Leavitt as to the amount of
money that had been furnished the
family.
Judge Cornish gave the omther the
custody OF the two children, Ruth
Leavitt. age a years. and Bradford
Bryan Leavitt, age 3 years. The
father will be allowed to see the
little ones at reasonable times, though
this latter consideration was an after
thought of the court and was made
a part of the record after the formal
decree had been rendered.
William H. Leavitt made no appli-
cation for any consideration, and the
right to see his children was the
thought OF a newspaper man, who
called the attention of Judge Cornish
to that omission and it was rectifi-
ed. Mr.. Leavittt was not represent
ed by counsel, although it was stat
ed some time after the application
for separation was made that he would
appear in person and fight the grant
ing of the divorce.
The case was called shortly after
the noon hour, when the courtroom
was practically deserted, and the pro-
ceedings occupied probably not over
twelve minutes.
There was an effort at secrecy by
request of Thomas 5. Allen, uncle of
Mrs Leavitt, who appeared as her
attorney and who receipted for and
carried away all the documents as
soon as the trial ended. Aside from
the principals in the case, the court
attaches and Mr.. Allen, the room was
deserted.
Mrs. Leavitt, modestly attired and
entirely composed, answered readily
the few questions put to her. Only
her mother accompanied her. Mrs.
Leavitt declined to discuss the divorce
in any way. Her intention is to
make her home in Lincoln.

Dear Sirs:-I write to-day to the
public that your Swamp-Root cured
me of kidney trouble. l was almost
past going; having spasmodic spells
with my kidneys that Were breaking
down my constitution. The best med
ical aid was employed and they pro-
nounced my trouble as alkali in the
kidneys, but were unable to do noe
any permanent good.
l took four bottles of Swamp-Root
and became a we'll man. This was six
years ago and have had no trace of
the trouble.
Yours for suffering men,

More and more as we grow older
we appreciate the finer traits that

into life never forget the mother who
stays at home, and who has present

z|ON|SM AND ITS
HOPES AND AIMS
To Restore Palestine to
the Jews.
MATTER IS FULLY EXPLAINED
Will Buy Land as They Are
Able and Re-people the
Country.
The Courier-Journal saws:

Inc COurleT-JOuIIdi Bays
A. II. Fromenson, OF New York, for
mer editor OF the Jewish Daily News
one of the strongest Jewish newspa-
pers in the world. and a amgazine
contributor of prominence, who has
been in Louisville for several days
in the interest of Zionism, spoke on
that topic last night at the Temple
Adath Jesurum. Mr.. FTomenson be-
gan his talk at $3.50 o'clock, and for ar
hour and a half he had the rapt at
tention of large audience.
To those who are not familiar with
the meaning of the term, he explain
ed that Zionism was a movement to
restore Palestine to the Jews, as a
home for the millions of that race
who now live in countries of persecu-
ton and intolerance, place where
the Jews might have their own land
and their own government, and in
which they could develop along Jew
fish lines. Enlarging upon his subject,
Mr.. Fromenson said that the Ameri-
can Jew had no right to his liberty
II he takes It to himself in a selfish
manner. He is morally bound to
take advantage of this blessing in
such a way as to bring liberty to all
his brethren. The American Jew Is
not the chosen of the chosen; he
should remember that if he or his
forbears had not migrated to this
country, he might have been subject
ed to the same indignities and perse-
cutions that his foreign brother con-
stantly suffers.
Zionists contend that these Israel
ties should not suffer when they have
the right to strive for liberty and a
natural life on their own historic soil;
that they should cease to be aliens
and in the minority in every country,
but should reclaim the land that was
once theirs, because it is the land in
which the Jews attained their greatest
BlOIN, anu llOlll NllNh NlANs AioNS NhNAA
greatest contributions to civilization
and humanity.
Continuing, Mr.. Fromenson stated
that Palestine is a desirable country
from a purely physical point of view
Its $1,000 square miles enjoy the same
climate that Southern California pro-
duces. He said that the purpose Of
the society for the propagation of
Zionism was to buy lands in that
country gradually, as they were able
to raise the funds and that it would
be repeopled with Jews. These Jews
would have local autonomy as soon
as they assembled to. the majority, and
then they could develop as a racial
unit and contribute more to the
worlds civilization than would ever
be possible under conditions of sup
preston as are now eXtant in Europe.
In his appeal for cooperation Mr.
Fromenson chided the Jews of the
United States for their lack Of en-
thusiasm. He gave some statements
OF the financial working of the society
and told his audience that the Ger
