the militia for strike duty here at
once.
Officers of the militia have been
warned to be ready for an emergency
call.
Union leaders this afternoon de-
clared that no less than 10000 men
would respond to the first call for
the general strike. This number,
they added, may be augmented by
further walk-outs as soon as con-
tracts between employers and en-
ployes expired.
The unions throughout the city
are becoming restive. They are en-
couraged by the successful stand of
the platform men, and in many cases
are demanding an increase of wages.
There is an apparent general tend
ency to take advantage of this great
crisis to enforce demands which for
some time have been held in abey-
ance.
The headers of the strikers have
drawn an unpleasant picture of what
will be the result when from 10000
to 100000 unemployed men and wo-
men are on the streets. Aside from
rioting and disorder, they point out
that business will be at a standstill,
and that the city will lose hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
They predict that the streets of the
city will be dark at night, because of
the expected strike of the employees
of the Philadelphia Electric Company
They say the theaters will be dark
and newspapers may not be pub
lished, unless their employees are
granted a special dispensation.
AS night approached the intensity
of the situation increased, and it was
predicted that thousands of persons
would stay awake all night to watch
for Developments.

Philadelphia, Pa, March A.
Peace negotiations looking to the set
tlement of the street car strike have
been called off, and the union labor
leaders will be forced to make good
their threat to call a general strike.
The period set by the central labor
union in which to adjust the strike
expires at midnight.
Both sides regard the general
strike as inevitable, and throughout
the day prepared to fight to a finish.
The authorities are taking every
precaution to avoid trouble. The sale
of firearms and explosives has been
forbidden, and when the general
strike order becomes effective, the
authorities will order every saloon in
the city closed. This afternoon Of
ficials of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company announced that
they had not as yet formulated re-
ply to the strikers, who have asked
for arbitration in the court of COM
mon pleas.
This was taken as an inli3atlon

meet the men on that ground.
The proposition of the strikers
was to put the whole matter up to
three neutral judges.
Four thousand special police in
addition to the regular force of 5000,
are under arms ready to protect the
cars and strike-breakers as soon as
the general strike begins. They will
be assigned to all parts of the city

Col. AStor Cannot Remarry
During the Lifetime of Mrs.
WiIling-AStOr.
BOTH ARE GIVEN A CHILD
Mrs. Astor Will Receive $500, 900 a
Year for Pin Money, and Can Re-
marry Any Time-Interested Par
ties Made an Effort to Keep the
Matter Secret.

White Plains, N. Y, March A.
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor was awarded
final decree of divorce today from
Colonel John Jacob Astor.
The decree was signed by Justice
Mills in the supreme court, when
her attorney moved that the inter
locutory decree granted four months
ago be made permanent, and coun-
sci for Astor made no objections.
1t had been the intentions of the
attorneys in the case to ask that the
papers be held but Justice Mills an
nounced:
These papers will not be sealed"
The attorneys, however, refused
to allow anyone to examine them
and announced that they would not
be made public until they were filed
with the county clerk.
1t developed that during the hear
ing Of the case no mention had been
made Of alimony; that feature hav.
ing been settled outside the court.
1t is reported that Mrs, Astor will
receive 100000 year.
The decree restores her maiden
name and she will be known as Mrs.
Ava Willing. She is given the GUS
tody of her daughter. The custody
of the son is awarded to the father.
Col. Astor is forbidden to remarry
during the lifetime of Mrs. Willing.
She may, however, remarry at any
time.
The Astor divorce suit attracted
world wide attention last fall when
an interlocutory decree was granted
because Colonel Astor was at that
time supposed to have been lost in
storm in West Indian waters.
He was cruising in his yacht with
his son when terrific storm swept
over the Caribbean sea and through
the West Indies. For more than
week no word was received from
him and no trace of his yacht was
found. After he had almost been
given up as lost the yacht put in an
appearance at Porto Rlcan port
and Astor stated his craft had
weathered the storm without dam
age.
Every effort has been made to
keep the matter secret and the an
nouncement OF Justice Mills today
was a severe shock to counsel. 1t
was expected that they would with
hold the papers as long as possible.
AstOr Celebrates His Release.
New York, March 4.--John Jacob
Astor did not learn of the granting

which he gave at his mansion last
night, and which was looked upon by
many OF his friends as a celebration
OF his release from the martial yoke.

DR. HYDE GOES TO JAIL
JUDGE LATSHAW MAKES AN AN
NOUNCEMENT FROM BENCH.
Evidence of Guilt Grows-Rond Revoked
Following Much Damaging Evidence.
Wife Collapses.

Kansas City, Mo.-Dr. Bennett
Clarke Hyde is a prisoner in Jail.
The physician vas deprived Of the lib.
erty that he has enjoyed ever since the
indictments charging him with a series
of almost unparalleled crimes were re-
turned by the grand jury, upon the order
Of Judge Latshaw Of the criminal court
of jackson county just before the adj
journment of court Wednesday evening
The remanding of DIR. Hyde to the GUS
tody Of the court marshal came after
a day in court that was replete with sen
s~ations, after a day in which Indictment
after indictments, damaging, convincing
and terrible in their nature, came from
the lips of witnesses.
The jury had filed out in solemn order.
Judge Latshaw shifted uneasily in his
great seat on the bench. He called the
marshal before him. Then he said:
I'm view of the testimony thus far
given in this trial the court is con-
strained to say that it amounts to a pre-
sumption of guilt that under the law de
prives the defendant of the right to 60
on bond, and he is hereby and for that
reason remanded to the custody of the
marshal"
Hyde half started from his seat. He
did not seem to comprehend the import
of the judges words. But his wife did.
ooh, my God!" she cried. She threw
her arms around the accused mans neck,
laid her head upon his shoulder and wept
bitterly.
DIR. Hyde retained his composure. He
turned to the weeping woman and spoke
. few words of comfort. Then, with a
smile on his face, he asked the waiting
marshal to allow his wife to compose
herself some before he was taken into
custody.
Just when I need you the most,
dearie," his wife sobbed; "just when I
need you the most, to think that you
must be taken from me. Isn't there
some way that it can be fixed up?"

CORPORATION TAX SHORT
4 turns Only $22, 00o, oo0-Many Con
Germs Merely Branches.

Westinghouse became apparent to
day, much to the surprise of treasury
officials, that the returns from the cor.
poration tax will fall short of that esti.
mated. The original estimate was that
at least $25, O00, 900 in revenue would be
collected from this source. Calculating
upon the basis of the returns from the
larger cities, which were the first to come
in, this estimate was raised to $50, 000,.
600. 1t now seems certain that M more
than $22, 0O0, 900 will be collected, and
the total may fall a full million below
the figure. Returns from Western;
Southern and Southwestern sections OF
the country were overestimated. 1t was
shown that many of the larger concerns
doing business in these sections were
branches, of Eastern corporations. A big
percentage of the smaller houses were
able to show that their incomes did not
exceed $1,000 and are exempt.

Purity

Purity
Purity is a desirable quality, espe.
cially In human beings. Half the
world doesn't know how the other halt
wants 1t to possess purity. There
are two kinds: Bodily purity and
mental purity. Statistics upon the
lack Of the former are more volu-
minous than upon the lack of the lat
ter. Tuberculosis and appendix talk
seems to indicate that bodily impurity
is, to say the least. prevalent-or
would 1t be better to say that bodily
purity is imprevalent!
But, in dealing with impurities Of
the mind, we cannot be SO sure, be-
cause people will not Tess up. We
simply have to guess, and that's where
Nine. Grundy comes in. We never
know whether Nine. Grundy is right
or wrong, but, sizing up the rest
Of the world in the light OF our own
impurities, we continue to listen to
her and cannot down the conclusion
that she is about half right. and that's
what makes us so mad. Nor is 1t
likely that q pure thought law would
do much good.
