CALLS WICKERSHAM
SUGAR TRUSTS TOOL
Congressman Martin Hurls Charge
That Philippines Are Being Ex-
pIoited-Demands Full
investigation

WASHINGTON, March 25.-"The
former head of the sugar trust is now
at the head of the department of JUS
tice, and under this administration the
Philippines are being exploited" de-
clared Representative John A. Martin
of Colorado in addressing the house
today on the subject of the friar lands
of the Philippines.
Mr.. Martin, referring to his request
for an investigation into the acts of
the attorney general, which was re-
ferred to the committee on rules, said
a mere inquiry into the reasons of the
attorney general for his opinion as to
the amount of sugar land corporation
could own would not be sufficient. The
inquiry, he said. would have to go
into the facts bearing on these mat
ters.
In spite of what Mr. Martin claimed
was the plain meaning of the act re-
lating to the friar lands, the attorney
general had given an opinion that
there was no limitation in the case of
corporations purchasing sugar lands
in the islands.
If there was to be no limitation in
the amount of land owned by corpora
lions in the Philippines, Mr.. Martin
said. congress should amend the law
and not permit its amendment by
means of an opinion by the attorney
general
The chief beneficiary of free trade
between the United States and the
Philippines, he declared, was the
sugar trust.
Mr. Martin said if notice were not
taken o fthese matters the sugar trust
would plead in court at some future
day that the silence of congress was

GAYLEY'S DIVORCE
COST HIM $50, 600
Wife of Steel Nabob Is Granted De-
cree by Reno Court on Cross
LibeI-Non-Support
Grounds

RENO, New, March 25.-Julia Gard
new Gayley of New York, wife of James
Gayley, former vice president OF the
United States Steel corporation, was
today granted a divorce on her cross
complaint filed in the district court
here.
BY decree, she receives $4,000 alimony
in a lump sum, and $1,000 attorney ices
The question of the six months resi-
dence of Gayley, the complainant was
the issue in the case.
Judge Orr found that although Gay
lev had come to Reno in March, 1909
re had spent in the aggregate only
twenty four and one-half weeks in the
city. He held, however, that inasmuch
as it appeared that the absences were
due to business enterprises that they
did not affect the bona fide character
of the residence.
Gayley's complaint alleged desertion,
and was answered by a cross complaint
alleging desertion and non-support
Gayley appeared on the hearing of the
cross complaint and gave evidence
upon subpienae from the defendant.
The Jurisdiction of the court in the
cross complaint depended on that in
the original complaint, according to
Judge Orr. and it was sustained.
