ROWBOAT WINS IN
RACE WITH BIG LINER
Belated Passengers at Queens
town Have an Exciting Chase

QUEENSTOWN. March 25.-An ex-
citing chase of an Atlantic liner by
rowing boat took place here. A mar
ried couple who had engaged berths
on the Cunard liner Invernia reached
the quay long after the passenger ten
der had left. The liner was just NOV
ing out on her voyage to Boston, but
it was suggested that a fast rowing
boat might catch her.
Considerable risk was involved in
the venture. for stiff wind was blow
ing and there was a heavy sea. Moth
ing daUnted. the couple offered a hand
some sum to five stalwart boatmen,
and in a few minutes they were racing
from the shore.
Crowds of people anXiously watched
the dangerous attempt. Sea after sea
broke over the boat, drenching the pas
sengers and boatmen, but still they
held on their way.
At length the officers of the Iv-ernia
saw them. and Slackened speed until
the boat came alongside. AS the
couple climbed on board the liner they
were loudly cheered by the passengers
assembled on the deck.

OBJECT TO EXCUSE
FOR MANS FRAILTY
Lady Frances Balfour and Arch
bishop of York Score Judge

LONDON, March 26.-To those who
have been fed on statements as to
divorce Irregularities in America, 1T
comes as a shock to find high legal
luminaries here admitting that the
British system is indefensible. 1t is
costly, open to abuse. and the woman
is in a bad position as compared with
the man. Many prominent men have
declared lately that the habit of Civ
ing separations instead of divorces is
direct Indictment to loose living
A great deal of criticism is being
poured upon the remarkable evidence
given by Sir John Bigham before the
the divorce court found himself in the
unusual position of being examined by
his predecessor, for Lord Gorell is the
chairman of the commission, whose in
quiry has already thrown such a flood
of light on the initial financial difficult
ties which prevent the poor from bring
ing their matrimonial troubles before
the courts.
Sir John Bigham boldly expressed
the view that equality between rich
and poor was impossible. What has
excited so much interest, however, is
the view he expressed upon the rela-
tive significance of infidelity in the
man and in the woman. The opinion
he expressed was that of the man of
the world sharpened by the experience
he has had at the courts. and his man
ner of ignoring the religious aspect of
the question brought him into con-
flict with the archbishop of York.
Sir John also came into conflict with
Lady Frances Balfour when he said that
a man was subject to many accidental
temptations and might slip at times,
though still loving his wife; but once
a woman slipped it was proof that she
no longer loved. a wife should not
be too exacting, he thought.
Il suppose" said Lady Frances
tartly, IF she will only overlook such
slips she will be as the light of his
eyes" Thereupon Sir John withdrew
that part of his evidence
