BOND FOR HIS ALIM0NY
Wife Fears Irving w. Childs Will
Lose 100000 Bequest.

Justice Blacknar, of the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn, ordered Irving W. Childs yes
terday to give a bond of s2No, 600 to secure
the payment Of his wife's a1inony. The
almony amounts to $40 year. The
couple were separated a few months ago.
They have one child. Mr.. Childs lives at
No. 1902 Ditnlas avenue, and Mrs. Ger
trude Childs lives at No. 1S5 Stratford
Road. They were married in March. 1906.
William III. H. Childs, father OF the de-
PENDANT. died several years ago, leaving
an estate of s1,5oo,ooo which he had made
in manufacturing cleaning compound and
in mica roofing. The defendant inherited
$4,000 when he was twenty-one years Old
and lost most of 1t In Wall Street. He will
inherit $780, more when he is twenty-five
years old, early next year. and Mrs. Childs
made the application for the bond in the
fear that Mr.. Chlds would part with the
second sum as rapidly as he had with the
first.
The court allows the defendant thirty
days In which to furnish the bond.

Measure for $4,000. Appro-
priation Discussed in Senate.
Iron The Tribune Ruaau.

ftciI J ne flnlEe BtsIeSu
Washington. Dec. ,12.-With the exception
of a brief executive session. during which
the nominations of Justice White as Chief
Justice and Fred w Lehman as Solicitor
General were confirmed. the Senate to-day
devoted itself for the most part TO the con-
sideration of the omnibus claims bill AS
presented the bill involves an appropriation
of 50 040 e4e Of this amount ss52,297 is for
the payment Of individual and church dam
age claims growing out OF the Civil War;
s3s5 9s1 is for the payment of claims for
overtime by government employees, and
SS42.6 is for the payment of French spolia-
ton claims. These last originated with the
treaty negotiated with France in 1890, by
which the United States agreed to sur
render claims OF American citizens for seiz-
ure and confscation Of American ships
shortly after the Revolution.
Although the bill may meet some oppost-
ton, IT is improbable that there will be
any serious obstacle in the way OF its
passage It is made up of 1.7o9 claims
Thirty-eight states are represented, those
receiving the greatest share being Louisi-
ana, Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania
New York's share in the war and overtime
claims is s119,2cS
The protocol with Mexico providing for
the settlement of the dispute over the
Chamizal district. which lies on the boun-
dairy along the Rio Grande River. was also
ratified This calls for the appointment Of

the question OF title. Both countries have
until February 10 to present their cases.
The land in question. created by the shift
ing OF the current of the Rio Grande, is
now held as part of the city of FL Paso.
The question OF tariff revision came up
only momentarily in the days proceedings
Senator Aldrich, in A response to an in
quiry by Senator Beverage said that he
would bring the question of a permanent
tariff commission and the bill providing for
it's establishment before the Finance Com
n1ittee at its next meeting
Senator Cummins of Iowa who intended
TO address the Senate to-day on the sub
ject of his resolution TO amend the rules
OF both Senate and House paving the way
for the revision of the tariff schedule by
schedule, gave notice that he would speak
tomorrow. His colleague, Senator Young,
VIII make q speech on the same topic on
| Thursday. The question is likely to pro-
woke a general discussion as several Sem
ators have declared their intention of ad-
dressing the Senate either for or against
the measure.
Senator Thornton, successor to the late
Senator McEnery, Of Louisiana, took the
oath of Office to-day He was escorted by
his colleague, Senator Foster
Several changes in the committee assign
ments of Democratic members were an

STILL AFTER MEYER.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs sought to
elicit from Paymaster Cowle, who was on
the stand to-day, admission that the
saving which Secretary Meyer says has
resulted from the installation OF the new
system of laval administration Is almost
wholly theoretic, rather than actual. A
special effort was made to induce Mr.. Cowie
so to testify regarding the 100000 which
constituted a part OF the navy general fund
and which Mr.. Meyer has recomm ended &c
turned back into the general fund OF the
Treasury. Mr.. Cowie was loath to make
such admissions, saying he was not pre-
pared to testify either in affirmation OF ne
CATION Of the suggestions Of the committee.
He was, accordingly, instructed to post
himself on these points and to reappear
with the information sometime during this
week So far as can be learned, 1t is
probable that when he returns the pay
master will have to state that the saving
is partly theoretical and partly actual

A little planting and care of the

that are getting capital to assist in
that community are go

Business men must put their animos
