ton OF Victor Berger to the American con-
gress and the increase OF the social-demo-
cratic vote in New York, San Francisco

Jean Jacques predicts that the majority
BRAND secured this week on his statement

Church Sanction
Of de Castellane
Divorce Asked
Reported that the Count Has Trans.
ferred His Affections to Miss
Anne Morgan.

PARIS, Nov. 12-CSpecial Cablegram.)-
Both Boni dc Castellane and his former
wife, Anna Gould. now Princess de Sagan,
are pressing the vatican for an annullment
of their marriage, which has already been
dissolved by the courts.
The motion OF tho one time Anna Gould
Is avowedly for the purpose Of securing the
sanction Of the church to her present mar
rage. It has been generally accepted as a
fact that de Castellane desired the annull-
ment 80 that he might wed another rich
American girl, Il is stated today that the
object Of his affections is Miss Anne Nor.
gan. daughter OF J. Pierpont Morgan.
Castellane met Miss Morgan during heI
latest visit TO Paris and, It is said, paid
assiduous court to her. With just what re-
ception his attention met Is not known
but among Americans here who are priv,
ileged to know the daughter OF the great
American financier the idea OF her &C
oeptlng Boni as her husband, Is regarded Al
absurd.
Miss Morgan's name was mentioned iE
connection with one of the Braganzl
princes some time ago, and there Is M
doubt that an effort on the part OF IN,
young mans friends was made to brinI
about the match. but it met with no sue
cess.
There is. it is believed, even less reason
for Count Bonis hope OF getting a sharl
OF the Morgan millions.

wood on the rivers bank. Later the namo
Of the town was changed to Central City,

Drinking Habit
Among the Women
is Not Increasing
President Of W. c. 7. U. Makes This
Statement in Her Annual Address
at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE Nd Nov. 12-Drlnking
and cigarette smoking are not on the in
crease among the women OF America. aC-
cording TO Lillian NJ N Stevens, presi-
dent Of the National Womens Christian
Temperance union. Addressing the annual
convention Of the organization here today,
she said in part:
I'VE are sometimes told that drink
among women is on the increase IL can
hardly be SO among the outcasts and
lower classes for it is largely drink which
has brought them where they are. Alco-
holc beverages cannot justly. even among
women, be called a class drink, FOR alcohol
In the costly wine glass is as deadly and
dangerous as IL is in the dingy whisky
glass.
I'VE are sometimes told that there is
much cigarette smoking among women. In
the course Of my travels in England and
America / have never seen a woman with
cigarette in her mouth except in certain
localities In New Mexico where the sur
roundings were not at all pleasant to con-
template.
There Is reason to believe that some
women in England do smoke cigarettes
and we are told that there are some in
America Of like habit. have seen now
and then a woman in a howell smoking a
pipe"
Referring to the white slave" traffic,
the speaker reviewed recent federal state
and city attempts to sufle it, and con-
tinued:
1T matters little whether the traffic is
organized or not. The fact that 1t exists
in New York and elsewhere is sufficient
to arouse humanity loving people"
Mrs Stevens vigorously recommended an
amendment to the federal constitution
prohibiting polygamy and giving to CON
gress power to enforce such prohibition by

Japan is Seeking
Money with Which
to Build It's Navy
Funds Are Sought in the United States
with Which to Carry on
the Work.

WASHINGTON Nov. 13-(Special Tele-
gram.)-On OF the most important diplo-
matte questions Of the day, and which may
retain it's prominence, is the decision OF the
Japanese government to seek from Ameri-
can capitalists funds for the building Of a
greater navy. The decision is regarded
here as q refutation of all charges that
the empire had agreed with Russia, by
means Of the Russo-Japanese convention OF
three months ago, to close the open door in
the far east.
To the Japanese embassy has been dele
gated the delicate task of sounding the
official and the financial attitude of the
administration and capitalists, respectively.
The Japanese diplomats, it was learned to-
day. realize the responsibility Of going on
an errand which public opinion seems to
take negatively. Pfia ia3ger Japanese navy
has been mentioned Unnecessary to repulse
American prestige in the orient. 1t is this
report which Japan seeks to prove errone-
GUS by arranging, II possible. to float its
loans to cover the increased expenditures
In that country.
Premier Katsura has stated that the re-
dempton fund Of SIS, 10000 which Japan
had laid aside as a yearly contribution to-
ward tightening the burden of growing ma
tional needs will not be affected, and that
the extra S4O,OOOOOO necessary for the new
navy can be obtained by the imperial
treasury. This statement is accepted by
Washington officials only in principle, since
It is known by all the powers that Japan
surplus at this time IS decreasing and that
any expenditure which must be met by
funds now available win force a deficiency
that must be bridged by loans Immediately
thereafter. These would be the loans which
japan Is planning to float in the United
States
