ODD DIVORCE CASE; DE-
PENDANT IN LUNATIC ASYLUM

San Antonio, Texas, July 21.-Bexar
county courts have somewhat of
problem in divorce proceedings on
their hands. The point troubling them
is: Can a person committed to luna
tic asylum be sued on a charge OF
abandonment and desertion"'
H. c. Daniels of Marlin some time
ago brought suit against his wife, who
is a patient at the Southwestern In
sane Asylum in this city, for the pur-
pose of obtaining a divorce. In his pc
tition he charged abandonment and
desertion. While the aspect of the
case is in keeping with the law from
every other point of view, the courts
doubt that the detention of the woman
in an asylum can be construed into
abandonment. and desertion. At the
same time this is the only charge on
which the plaintiff could secure d.
vorce, there being no provision IN
Texas divorce laws for cases such as
his.

The Ancient and Venerable City is
taking on a modern appearance in
many respects.
Mayor Seligman and the members Of
the city council have been working
hard to make needed improvements,
and these are of great Importance.
And many more Improvements are be-
ing contemplated, even if the city
treasurer is far from being "embar-
rassed with riches" as the French say
Mayor Seligman wishes to see the
city better lighted and system su-
perior to the one now in vogue for dis
pelling darkness is being looked into
This will be a great improvement and
one that has been suggested neces-
sary to put Santa Fe in the wide
awake class.
Estimates are being sought for sew
er construction. A better sewer sys-
TEN will mean better health TO the
community and better opportunity
to make settlers out of the tourists
and health seekers who come here.
The mayor and Chairman Gable of
the street committee were out today
looking over the streets of the city,
seeking what has been done, and look
ing over the needs yet to be attended
to.
1t was announced that a new ce-
ment crossing is to be placed on Mon
tezuma avenue. A concrete bridge
will be built on Don Gaspar avenue,
beyond the capital

hood have been cut down, the grass
moved and crossings put in good or
der, The street sprinkler was out,

trouble is anticipated.
Mr.. Hughes Building.

are under way. Levi -. Hughes has
broken ground on the lot east of the
postofTice and will thereon erect two
story brick building for use as a
store. The lot has a frontage of 80
feet and depth of 100, and its central
! location will make a store there a
desirable improvement.
Mr. Hughes expects the building to
be finished within 80 days A. Wind
ser is the contractor.
Other buildings begun recently are
making their presence felt. The
home of Frank Andrews is under roof
and it's neighbor, the Nathan Salmon
residence is also we'll under way
The Salmon residence is to be a
superb structure. There are other
new buildings, such as the home of F.
lC. Wilson. the new house erected by
H. H. Dorman and others. Workmen
are busy on the foundations of the
new houses to be built by A Rein
gardt, Reggie Mckenzie and Peter
Lienau.
There is. therefore, lots of work for
the builders, and it is said the build
ii ing boom will keep up.

the revolver is covered with blood
and that the flesh near the wound had
been burned, which would indicate
that the shot was fired only few
inches from the body. We have found
nothing that would indicate murder. .

LOSS IN FREIGHT ENORMOUS
However Quick End to Labor
Trouble Is Now An
ticipated.

New Castle, Eng, July 21.-The
strike of the employees of the North
eastern railroad is demoralizing the
industries dependent on the line. The

out it was estimated today that fully
$4,000 workers in the collieries, ship
yards, iron works and other plants

perishable goods is enormous.

ALL IS READY
FOR THE FETE
Even Merry Go Round is
Up and Waiting for
Whirlers
PLAZA IS BOWER or BEAUTY
Fete Formally Opens at 4
O'clock With Procession
of Damsels.

, The last blow of the hammer hav-
ing been struck; the last stitch sewed
in bunting around the dancing pavil-
ion; the final touch given to the dec
orations of the beautiful Japanese
pergola-the great fete now is ready
flor the enjoyment of the public.
Promptly at o'clock this afternoon
the fete is formally opened, when
| four and twenty pretty damsels, clad
in dainty costumes of foreign lands,
proceed from the Palace through the
plaza and then to the triangles where
they will preside or assist at booths.
The plaza would scarcely be recog-
nized by those who saw it before the
preparations for the festivities began
It is indeed in gay attire, and the
Iladies on the various committees put
forth strenuous efforts all day yester-
day that have told in substantial re-
suits. The pergola, whose white col
llmns were the cynOsure of all eyes,
the dancing pavilion, on which the
blows of the carpenters hammers re-
sounded all day; the maze, with its
amazing number of pine branches
from which exude the fragrant bal
samic odor; even the merry go round,
all are ready for the amusement seek
ers who will help swell the funds of
the WOman's Board of Trade.
1t is a great sight and no one en-
joys it more than the children who
greet enthusiastically the innovation
this year of having a merry-go-round
| in the park This merry maker will
continue to cause the youngsters to
yell with delight for more than one
day, for its success is likely to be SO
| this week
The fete, however, is replete with
attractions, and they must be seen
studied and invested in, to under.
stand their charm.
Invitations to Supper.
One thing that has struck the casual
stroller through the park this morn
ing is the cordial invitation to sup
per at the library hall from 6 to
D. m. The ladies in charge of the
supper have placed cards on trees
One says: 81 love my home dinners
but, you Board of Trade suppers
Only so cents" Another says: Bring
your wife to the Board of Trade sup
per from 6 to 8 p. m. If you have M
wife. get some other fellows" Ant
still there is a third invitation thus
Attention boys, take your sweet
hearts and give them a good meal a
library hall, to p m"
Yes, there will be lots of fun, an
the fun waves began to splash at
o'clock this afternoon when the MAJ
was opened to the seekers after tn
true path to the goal where decors
=, tions for perseverance are bestowed
, The Weather.
Asked if he would send good Weatf
. er this evening Director Linney of tn
- local weather bureau said this mor1
= ing: I'VE wish to do anything to hel
:, the fete and the good ladies who hav
worked so hard to make it success
iOf course we have strong opposite
on the part of the farmers who hav
been praying for rain, but if posslbl
. we shall push those clouds away an
when the sun ceases to shine allo'
the moon to shed its gentle rays"
So there seems good chance afte
all for the fair weather prayer beln
answered.
