Mrs. Caroline Harris Asks for
Reopening Of Divorce Case
Tried at Harland, Iowa
HUSBAND A WEALTHY FARMER

Mrs Caroline Harris of this city
through her attorney, George w. Tay-
lor, has fled an affidavit in the circuit
court at Harland, Iowa, demanding the
opening of a suit by which her hus-
band, G. j. Harris, was granted a d.
vorce from her during the last week
Of March in that city and it is declared
that the hearing of the case will be
interesting. Since the divorce was
granted Mrs. Harris has been living
with relatives in Kenosha.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris were married a
little over two years ago and it is
claimed that so far as the wife had
known they had lived happily together
until the early part of March of this
year when the husband brought an ac-
ton for divorce on grounds of cruel
and inhuman treatment. Notwith-
standing the nature Of the case the di-
vorce was granted without the wife
making any tight. She was given ali
mony in the amount of $4,000 and crush
ed by the breaking up of her romance
she returned to the east and came to
the home of her relatives in this city.
They heard the story of the case and
declared that Harris was not entitled to
the divorce. Attorney Taylor was en-
ployed to look into the matter and his
Investigations showed that Harris had
property valued at from $4,000 to
$4,000 and on behalf of the wife he
at once demanded re-opening of the
suit. He will probably later file a
demand for separate maintenance on the
part of Mrs. Harris.

One of the matters which requires
She early attention of the common
council is the providing of public
dumping ground and it will be almost
impossible for the health department
to keep the city in a clean and SAM
tary condition unless one is provided
without delay. The recent troubles
of the railway company show the need
Of a public dump about as plainly as
anything could. The company has
several pieces of vacant property IN
the city which the people in the neigh
borhood have been accustomed to use
for dumping grounds without any com
plant against the practice being made
by the officials of the company, but
recently the practice of dumping
refuse ON the property of the company
has become so common for lack of
any other place to put it where it
could be properly looked after and dis
infected that some of the pieces Of
land owned by the company became a
menace to the health Of the people
in the ncighborhood and the company
was ordered to clean up by the police.
The company has complied with the
order, but at the same time it has
served notice that it does not propose
to act as a scavenger for the city any
longer and that any one who invades
the property of the company for the
purpose of dumping refuse of any de-
scription will be arrested. Shutting
the people off from these private
dumps simply means that refuse which
has heretofore been carted away from
the vicinity of houses will be allowed
to rot in a hundred different places.
Most of the people have no way to
dispose of their refuse other then by
taking it to some dumping ground and
the council should make it as easy as
possible for the health department to
enforce necessary sanitary regulations
by providing a public dumping ground
and then seeing to it that the refuse
brought to it is properly taken care of.

When the president s railroad bill
was reported to the senate, over two
months ago, Senators Cummins and
Clapp filed certain insurgent objections
to it, The bill proposed to create a
new court, with five judges, to have
especial jurisdiction of appeals made
by the railroads from rulings Of the
interstate commerce commission. In
three years and a half only twenty-six
eases such as would come under the
jurisdiction of the new court actually
arose. cit seems to us indefensible, "
said the DIRECTORS, "to put upon tax
payers the burden of maintaining such
u court under such circumstances. :"
Appeals from the commission may now
be heard in any United States circuit
court. To segregate such appeals in
special court would tend, in the OBJ
pectors opinion, to make that court
target for railroad influence.
More Objectionable, the insurgents
think, is that provision of the bill
which makes it the exclusive duty Of
the attorney general to defend rulings
of the commission from which rail
roads appeal. At present, when ship
pers attack a rate and the commission
decides in their favor and the railroads
onpnol from fbO 4bo
courts, the commission itself is the, de-
PENDANT in the court proceedings. It's
practice has been to employ, as special
counsel, the leading attorney for the
shippers. Thus in court proceedings
the shippers are represented by their
own counsel, who is thoroughly fami-
liar with their side of the case. Under
the new bin, rulings of the commits
sion when taken into court would be
defended not by the commission itself,
employing the shippers counsel, but
exclusively by the department of JUS
tiee IF that department, said
Messrs. Cummins and Clapp, "should
happen to think that the commission
was wrong in its order ii. would, of
course, not Defend but allow final
judgment to be entered in favor of the
ralHoad-thus constantly presenting
the spectacle of a review of the orders
of the commission, not by court, but
by the department of iustice''
Over three hundred lines of the bill
are devoted to exceedingly intricate
provisions, the general purpose of
which is to prevent. stock watering-a
purpose, the insurgents think, that
might be accomplished with far greater
certainty by far simpler phraesology.
Other objections have been raised
Those, that run against the provision
permitting the roads to make traffic
agreements have attracted most atten-
ton, but are really least important;
for the roads will make trafice agree
ments anyhow, as they always have
done Aside from that feature there
is much in the bill concerning which
honest and intelligent men may rea-
sonably differ. Why it should be
considered the sacred duty of the in
surgents to shut their eyes and swal-
low the bill whole, because the presi-
dent and attorney general approved it,
we are unable to see--even after read
ing Mr.. Wickersham s Chicago speech.
