HAWAIIAN LABOR REPORT
G0MPERS EXAGGERATED, SAYS
SECRETARY NAGEL.
Admits, However, That Some Rus.
sian Immigrants Are in Bad
Way and Will Be Deported.

Following the receipt Of a report from
Acting Immigrant Inspector Halsey at
Honolulu. Secretary Nagel expresses
opinion that the situation alleged by
President Gompers of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor to exist among the Rus
sian immigrants in Hawaii working for
the sugar planters, was much cxag-
gerated.
In q public letter to the Secretary Mr..
Gompers declared that an appalling state
OF affairs existed In Hawaii, where a
thousand Russian peasants had been
lured into the territory. The situation.
he said. was such as could fully establish
condition Of peenage.
Secretary Nagel admitted there are
some, Russian immigrants In the islands
who had been induced to go there by the
territorial board Of immigration and who
had become public charges. They are
unfit for agricultural work.
He 10 determined to remedy conditions
az far as possible, and has taken steps
to prohibit the further immigration of
persons who are in danger Of becoming
public charges.
He will, he says, insist on the deporta-
ton Of every one who was Improperly ad-
mitted or who may become a public
charge. Deportation is to be paid for
by the territorial board.
He also has admonished the immigra-
ton authorities to be more careful in ad-
uniting persons who possibly may become
dependent.

CLAIM ON FORMER WIFE
DIVORCED HUSBAND HAS
RIGHTS, SAYS JUDGE.
May Speak to Her, He Declares, in
Reversing Sentence
to Pay Fine.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 9.-"Once a
man is married to a woman he always
has some claim upon her. even IL she has
been divorced When a woman is mar
ried she can never be absolutely Tree
again. Courts can separate couple
but in the sight of law higher than
man-made law, In the law of all we'll
meaning persons, the husband still has q
claim on the woman who was once his
WIFE"
Judge Ralph Latshaw said this yester-
day when he reversed q decision OF the
municipal court. which had declared Dr..
Milo E. Hartman guilty OF an attack
on his former wife and had fined him
$500 on a charge Of having accosted his
wife May Is. 1909. in dry goods store.
When Mrs. Hartman had finished her tes-
timony the Judge told the defense there
was no necessity for 1t to introduce
any evidence.
Hartman had a right to come up and
speak to his former wife and even take
her by the arm" he said. AS long as ne
didn't abuse her or swear at her ne
committed no offense. He had perfect
right to regard himself as privileged
person in his dealings with the woman
who had once been his wife. / do not see
how any court ever imposed fine OF
$500 on a man for speaking TO woman
who had once been his wife.

TRANSATLANTIC AIR TRIP
WELLMAN AND VANIMAN TO
MAKE ATTEMPT.
Dirigible Balloon America Capable
of Journey-Aeronauts
Assume Risks.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Walter Wellman
and Melvin vaniman will attempt this
coming fall to cross the Atlantic ocean
was built for the Wellman polar expedi-
ton and has twice been tested In voy-
ages over the Arctic ocean. north OF
Spitzbergen.
The attempt will be made solely on the
responsibility OF the aeronauts. The New
York Times. the Chicago Record-Herald
and the London Daily Telegraph have ar
ranged to buy the news Of the expedl-
ton, which will be transmitted by wire
less from the airship. even as news now
is from ocean liners.
The America will be housed at Atlantic
City during its preliminary trial.
On her long voyage the America Will
carry a crew Of six men. including the
wireless operator and 1900 gallons OF
gasoline in steel tank. Equipped Tor
days run she could carry seventy-flve
passengers, In addition to her full crew.
The quantity Of fuel carried gives the
airship a greater radius Of action than
the distance from New York to Europe.
A study of prevailing winds during the
season at which it is proposed to make
the passage shows that they lie parallel
to the eastbound course laid down by
Atlantic liners. Even If the net effect OF
the winds should prove unfavorabie. 1t Is
estimated by the aeronauts that the fuel
would hold out for the full distance.
Weilman and Vaniman are by 20 means
sure that their attempt will be successful.
They think the chances are good enough
to warrant at least a trial.
They plan to start late In August or
early in September from a base near New
York not yet selected.

ment Law Does Not In
clude Legacies.

TRENTON, July 9.-The state OF New
jersey is bound to save many lawsuits
because of Nthe decision Of the court OF
errors and appeals that the wording OF
the 1905 collateral inheritance statute
does not make the act applicable to the
assessment of taxes upon legacies.7
The decision is a black eye to the
finances of the state. as it Is likely that
$50, 200 will have to be refunded to heirs
who have paid the tax under the amended
statute.
The particular case decided is that OF
the reversing Of the collection by Surro-
gate George E. Russell Of Essex county
of 81. 800 upon that part Of the estate OF
Martha T. Fisk Collard embracing 1.150
shares Of stock Of the Standard Oil Com
pany. Mrs. Collard died in Cairo, Egypt,
in 1908.
The scope of the decision Is that co..
lateral inheritance tax collected on iega-
cies and imposed between 1905. when the
act was approved, and 1909. when the
amendment was passed, will have to be
refunded by the states financial DEPART
ment. II those who have paid In the tax
demand 1t. But there is an Affirmative
declaration Of the opinion upholding the
right of the state to tax estates descend

COLLEGE COURSE NOT
ALWAYS WORTH WHILE
Of No Value to Students Whose
Chief Anxiety Is to Avoid
Work, Says Professor.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. July 9.-President
H. u. Hutchins of the University OF
Michigan, in addressing the summer stu
dents yesterday. told them that in gen.
eral a college course was worth while,
but enumerated certain circumstances
under which he considered 1t not worth
while.
1t was his opinion that university
course is not worth while for one whose
chief anxiety is to avoid work. He said:
1.-THE man who studies the announcement
of his college solely FOR the purpose Of
discovering snaps and adjusting his life
to them is weakened mentally by his col
lege experience. He drifts also into
habits that undermine and eventually de-
stroy any manlness and force of char
acter with which he may have been by
nature endowed
The speaker maintained that the col
lege course that is worth while should be
one demanding the expense Of the stu
dents best powers, but he said:
"A college course is not worth while In
this age Of activity ana original thinking.
in this age Of great achievement and
great opportunities, If it makes Of a man
a mere slave to the learning of others
