Even then her complaint, as drawn for
a petition, was of the mildest charac-
ter. Her husband charged that undue
influence had been used to have her
bring the suit.
Judge Dana, after hearing the mo-
ton for temporary almony on Novem-
Der 19, decided that the husband should
contribute SIS a month to her mainten-
ance at. her sisters house. The two
small children should be taken to see
their mother twice a week, the court
ruled. 1t was Judge Dana's avowed in
tention to carry the matter along until
the wife should be stronger. The wis
dom of his action is apparent in the
dismissal of the case.
Mrs. Montgomery was too ill to see
a reporter today but she will leave as

PLAN FIGHT ON FARES.
Railroads VIII Attack Validity of Two
Cent Passenger Rate.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Plans on the part
of leading railroads for concerted at
tack upon the validity of the cent
fare law both In Illinois and Iowa are
nearing completion, and an announce
ment relative to the line of assault is
expected within a short time.
Statistical experts have been at work
for some time gathering data relative
to railroad earnings and the return on
invested capital, and as soon as their
computations have been assembled a
committee that was appointed some
time ago to take charge of the matter
viii convene and map out a course of
action.
It is said here that it is too early at
present to forecast whether the legis-
latures in each state will be asked to
epeal the cent statute or an appeal
for redress will be made to the courts

Surety for the South Side Dixie Con-
tractors Seek Release.

The bonding company which took
UP the 100000 bonds for the Haskins
& Ramsey contract for the construction
of the South side dixie, now want to
gig back on their contract and the
assurance for the contractors is in
serious doubt. The Southwestern Sure
ty Insurance company Of Oklahoma is
the company holding the bonds.
E. M. Elkins & Co.. agents for the
company in Kansas City, signed the
agreements for the company. Now FL
kins has filed with r. L. Thomas, clerk
of the district court, notice and a letter
of explanation saying that he took the
bonds only temporarily with the under
standing that he would have to wait
for the power Of attorney from his home
office before he would have authority to
assume the risk.
He says in conclusion that his COM
pany refuses to approve this class of
business and that this is the first of
the class ever coming before the COM
pany. He asks finally that the bonds
be returned to him as sent.
The duplicate bonds, however, already
have been signed up and placed on file
in the county clerks office and the
contractors have begun work on the
dixie under that security to the county.
The bonds are accompanied by GER
tificates from Chas. w. Barnes, state
insurance commissioner, that Elkins is
duly authorized to negotiate such Sc
curitieS.
Companies do not clamor for that
class of business owing to the great
risk involved and the county commits
sioners considered themselves fortu-
nate in getting them. Now, however,
when the company's agent puts up a
defense of no authority, trouble begins.
