IncompatibiIity of Temper.

although my son and his wife have
been incompatible almosl from the day OIL
their marriage, and it became palmer ana
palmer as time went on that there coulu
never be happiness in their home, the
principal cause of their differences Was
mat she objected to leaving the south
ana coming to Washington to live. Tneli
separa ton came IN october, 1913, and i
drew up a contract be. tween them, which
they BON signed, prosiulnS that they
should alternate in the Possession OF the
children, each to have tuem tor tn. &c
months. You know we have no divorce
laws in South Carolina.
my SON came to Washington in De-
cember. 1908. when Congress met, leav-
ing his wife in the south with the chill
dren. Through the month of November
letters passed between them in regard to
a meeting, at which they might come to
a better agreement. In FEBRUARY her
term of possession of the little girls ran
out, and rather than give them up, she
consented to meet her husband in Balti-
more. There they decided to live together
again, and took a home in Hyattsville.

Took Children Away.
'eTheir troubles continued. and, hoping
that it would do some sort Of good, per-
suaded them to take a trip through the
west They went to the coast, took in
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition in
Seattle, and then returned.
Early last December my son sent word
to his mother to come to Washington,
which she did, taking quarters at the
Normandie Hotel. One day there was
another row-oh, it was not the sort of a
life for the children at all.-and my son
took the children to the Normandie and
gave them into the charge Of his mother.
She took them to Trenton.
After waiting for three days to hear
from his wife, who had gone to live with
a friend. Mrs. Mamie Brady. and after
getting no replies to his letters, my son
left for Trenton. Then my attorney
wrote to Mrs. Tillman. She ignored the
letter. Seeing that she showed no in
clination to come to any agreement with
him or to come back to him, my son deed
ed the children to me, and that is how
l have them now.
They are two of the brightest girls
have ever seen, and my sole interest in
the matter is to have them properly cared
for and guarded My son has been told
by eminent counsel that his wife cannot
recover them.

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 24.-When
attorneys for Mrs. B. r. Tillman. jr.,
made application before the supreme
court today to be heard on petition
for writ Of habeas corpus to secure
possession of her two children. Douschka
and Sarah, now being held by United
States Senator Benjamin II. Tillman,
Chief Justice Jones halted proceedings by
citing a rule of the court requiring such
cases to be presented in the circuit court.
On a plea that the lawyers were not
familiar with the rule, he consented to
hear their arguments later.
The suit by the younger Mrs. Till1nan
brought the charge that her husband IS
addicted to the excessive use of intoxi-
cants and that he has been guilty of
cruel and inhuman treatment of her.
Her petition was accompanied by sworn
statements from leading citizens In the

NO ANSWER YET FROM D. o. R.
Officials Likely To Lay Temporary

Although ii is almost two weeks

the Detroit United Railway, were
called into conference by Corporation
Counsel Hally and special commit
tee OF the aldermen to state what the
ID. L. r. would do in the way OF a
temporary settlement OF street rail-
way matters, no answer has come yet
from the ID. L. r. II is known that
the engineers OF the road are figuring
on the cost of the proposed exten-
sioDs of lines and an answer will not
be forthcoming until this has been
ascertained.
The probability now is that the city
officials will get no answer until
after the D. L. X. annual
meeting early in February. Hutchins
and Brooks will have an opportunity
at that time to lay any proposal be-
fore the stockholders and directors OF
the road. President Hutchins has
been in New York much of the time
