lionairo, has brought an action in the
Supreme Court TO test the validity Of
her decree He IS suing her for Ill
vorce, naming Harry w. Hazlcton, her

This suit will raise the question wheth-
er the woman's decree is valid in this
State and whether her married life
with Hazelton for the last FIVE years
has been legal.
Mrs. Hazelton is making a vigorous
fight to defend the validity of her
South Dakota divorce. In her answer

cree and alleges that her husband was
not only served by publication in the
action, but was served personally in

Elena Y. Martinez. the daughter of a
high official of the Spanish govern
ment at Havana before the Spanish
American war, Her father was
Spaniard and her mother was MISS

tinez family lived in Havana the girl
was famous for her beauty.
DR. Tousey is heir to a large slice
Of his fathers fortune When he in
troduced Miss Martinez at his home
in Brooklyn. her beauty and brilliancy
won his fathers consent to the match.
They we're quietly married at Key
port. N. j., on June 3, 1896. A little
more than a year afterward a baby
girl was born to them.
In the autumn of 1908 trouble began
in the household Of the Touseys. AZ
ter a {. w months OF matrimonial in
felicity they separated. Mrs. Touscy
alleged that her husband abandoned
her He denied IL. saying that she
left him because of her affection for
another man.

went to South Dakota and brought her
divorce suit. Her husband appeared
personally I'm the Circuit Court Of
South Dakota at Minnehaha, to de-
fend the action. When she obtained
her decree she was also awarded the
custody of her child. The decree was
granted on May II. 1904.
She came back to New York in-
mediately and was married 20 Hazel
ton within month. The Hazeltons

Treasury Department Issues

Into Operation.

The Treasury Department tolay is
sued the regulations to put into effect
the provisions Of the new tariff law by
which free trade is established between
this country and the Philippine Islands
IN everything except rice, with limit
on the amount of sugar, tobacco and
cigars that may be imported into this
country without paying duty. That
limit is hot expected TO be reached for
several years.
The regulations have been approved
by the Insular Bureau of the War De-
partment and by the Philippine gov
eminent and able instructions have
been sent 70 the latter TO put them into
effect today. They require that mer-
ehandlze shipped to the United States
Hrom the Philippines, in order to secure
freen entry, must be accompanied by
certificates from collectors or deputy
collectors, showing that the goods are
the growth, the product, or manutac-
ture of the Philippines; or of the
growth or product of the United States,
or both and that they do not contain
more than 20 per cent or foreign ma
terials. The forms Of these certificates
are detailed with care and similar ones
are required for goods that are shipped
from this country for free entry into
the islands.
When not accompanied by certlf-
Gates free entry may be allowed for
goods passing between the two coun-
tries upon the fling of a bond IN

Taylor, volunteer aide-de-Camp.
One feature, as interesting as Il is
unusual I'm connection with the mimic
warfare against the New England coast
defcnses, win be the presence in the
field of military representatives of sew
eraI European countries They VIII be
there to observe and to report 10 their
respective war offices Just wherein lies
the strength or weakness of America s
present system Of coast defenseS, the
efficiency of which has for several years
been a nOoted problem with the War
Department.
In a certain sense Germany's present
military activity is responsible for 9th
er powers sending out their best Of
ficers to observe the methods of other
countries. Referring to the Kaiser 5
military movements. prominent army
officer on duty at the War Department
said today:
ct is a literal fact that Germany has
quietly but thoroughly. completed prep
arations for the movement of an inYad-
ing army of 165. 600 men It has marked
out every detail down 10 the smallest
article of equipment. The necessary
stores are held in depOts at the German
seaports, and the ships 20 be used as
transports have been selected All this
means that Germany is preparing for
immediate invasion Of Sur country In
the event of war.
This may be taken to explain The pres
ence of foreign army officers with the
Red" and Blue armies.
