MRS. McKIM GETS DIVORCE.

Mrs. Margaret Emerson McKim,
daughter OF DR.. and Mrs. Isaac +.
Emerson, of Baltimore, was granted
an absolute divorce in Reno, New,
Saturday, from her husband, DIR.
Smith Hollins McKim, formerly oi
Baltimore, after her legal residence OF
six months had been established. The
trial lasted two hours and twenty min
utes, and Mrs. McKim's story OF the
alleged drunkenness and cruelty on the
part OF her husband occupied Just 20
minutes.
Nervously laughing all through her
testimony and agitatedly twirling a
rubber band around her finger, Mrs.
McKim told clearly and distinctly
the story of her marital troubles. She
said that she was married on Decem-
Der so, 1902. in Baltimore, and that
she had lived at Irvington, summering
at Newport. and that she had gone to
New York in October, 1908.
The decree granted Mrs. McKim is
all absolute Oltc.
She will not resume her maiden
name. and stated that no money set
tlement had or would be made with
DR.. Mckim.
The action at Reno precludes DIR.
Mckim from further litigation there,
but it is believed he may resort to the
courts of New York.
In her testimony she charged her
husband with cruelty and drunken
ness, and stated that she had left him
six times. Continuing she said:
AT dinner party, he swore at me
because I spoke to gentleman friend
in the party, and grossly insulted me
in the presence OF all. He told me that
I lied and used other more awful
words. l could not attend other parties
given in our honor because of his
drunkenness. Once he swore at me
about his fancy breed OF chickens, and
threw me on the floor My father
heard my cries and came to my rescue.
l remained with father that night. In
January, 1908. my husband insisted
that | leave dinner party, and re-
tire at $50 O'Clock. | refused, and he
threw me across the room on to sofa,
breaking the arm of the furniture.
When he insisted that l be alone with
him in a closed room, I, in fear, refused,
and he sunk his nails into my arm,
and I had to lock myself up for pro-
lection. l feared for my life, he was
80 drunk"
Mrs. Emerson denied the rumor
that her daughter intended to marry
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, or any other

Wire in Cows Heart.

Doylestown, Pa, Aug. 15.-An in
teresting veterinary case exists at wy
comb, where DR.. John n. Rosenberger
was called to treat COW belonging to
Lester Smith. The first symptoms in
dicated acute indigestion, but upon the
Doctors second visit the condition OF
the COW had so changed that DIR. Rosen-
berger advised Mr.. Smith that some
foreign object, as for instance, a piece
OF bailing wire, was probably in her
heart and that she was likely to fall
over dead at any moment. Just a few
moments later, while the men were
still looking at her she actually fell
dead, and, to verify his diagnosis, DIR.
Rosenberger opened the COW in the
presence of Mr.. Smith and extracted a
piece of bailing wire, as he had antic-

never been in actual possession of the
land in question. but constructive pos
session only. He also maintained that
the land had not been held under
claim of title exclusive of any other
right, as such a grant made it impos-
sible, and therefore could not come un-
der the statute of limitations.
A strong argument was also put up
by Attorney B. D. Townsend for the
plaintiff in the Roberts case. He cons
tended that the mineral lands within
the grant of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way company never passed to the COM
panY under the patent under which
the same Is now held. for the reason
of the exception contained in it. There
was no action on the part of the Sec
retary of the interior and the commits
sioner Of the general land office. He
stated that there had been no designa-
ton which were and which were not
mineral lands in the findings. by
this" he said. 'it is shown conclusive
" and without a doubt that the de-
partment did not pass upon the ply
sical character of this land in any in
stance"
MUST CLAIM UNDER PATENT
1T was conceded by the attorneys
for the corporations that the case
hinged upon the validity of the excep-
IONS contained IN the patent, the fndl
decree of the land office and the con-
struCtion of the saving clause in the
joint resolution of June %, 1870"
Attorney Burke, who is acting in his
own behalf, answered the argument
that the action should have heen in
stigated by the government instead of
individuals by saying that a land
patent is only conclusive after an eX-
animation and proof that the land is
as specified in the act. He maintained
that the land in question is still under
determination He argued that any
land that the government has failed to
pass on is subject to any court at the
request of any litigant seeking ad-
justment.
In his closing argument Mr.. Town
send said:
mo man can claim land under a
patent. decd or will, without confirm
ing the instrument. When he claims
under a patent, deed or will, he must
claim under the whole instrument to-
gether. He cannot take one or two
clauses and ask the court to shut its
eyes to the rest"
Among the persons named in the
case as defendants are directors and
officials of the corporations of New
York and many in California

HALE FORECASTS
COMING CONGRESS
Maine Senator Looks for No Tar
iff Relief but He Wants
Ocean Mail Bounty

WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator
Eugene Hale of Maine, Republican
leader of the senate by virtue of his po-
sition as chairman of the party caucus
and the committee on appropriations,
foresees little of accomplishment in the
coming short session of congress.
Beyond the passage of the usual ap-
preparation bills, and possibly an ap-
portionment measure and one providing
an ocean mail bounty, he believes no
important business will be transacted.
Mr.. Hale was emphatic in his decla-
ration that there would be no tariff
legislation in the coming session. He
went so far as to express the conVic-
ton that while the president may sug-
gest a general program. he Will not try
to force it on congress.
with the Central and South Alneri~
can trade rapidly increasing and ready
to come to u.s." he said, we ought TO
pass some bill to aid in establishing
such lines to command this trade. We
can pass such a bill, limiting 1t il nee
essary to Central and South America,
almost any day in the senate. The
house, I am led to believe, may be
found more favorable at this session
than it has been before.
1--WE shall, 1 suppose, as is usual in
the short session, pass the new appor-
tionment bill under which the next con-
gressional elections will be held"
Mr.. Hale declared he did not look
forward to combination of the insur-
gents with the Democrats, "either now
or hereafter" He said he fully ex-
pected to see the Republican party in
congress get together again and pre-
sent a united front to the majority.
Incidentally, he referred to the insur-
gent leaders as men of convictions
and natural force Of character"

time. The Roberts case was the first
one fled The cages were submitted
and the attorneys given twenty days
in which to prepare their briefs. While
only about 5000 acres are directly in
voIved the outcome will affect 100000
acres valued at $50,000,000.
When asked as to possible action
being taken by the government, Willis
NJ. Mills, special assistant to the at
torney general: who Is in the city for
the purpose of Investigating the case
from the governments standpoint,
said:
"The cases of the land grants of the
Southern Pacific have been under con-
sideration by the attorney general for
some time and have been sent here
as his representative to inform myself
of the matter.
II have come to ascertain whether
there are issues in either case which
the government should assert or pro-
tect. The question of whether the
government will attack the grant will
likely be known soon"
IT was principally argued by the at
torneys for the Southern Pacific, Guy
V. Shoup and J. r. Cowden, that the
suits should have been brought by the
government, as the statute of limita-
tions precluded individuals from initiat-
ing proceedings.
$. +. NEVER IN POSSESSION
r. S. Minot, attorney for Roberts, in
answer to the defense invoking the
statute of limitations, referred the
court to the case of Unger VS. Mooney,
in which the supreme court held that
the statute was effective only in cases
of actual and known possession. He
assorted that the Southern Pacific had

MARINE COMMANDMENT
WITH WAR RECORD RETlRES
Major General Elliott to Quit Post
on Account of Age

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-After forty
years of honorab BILE service. Major Cen
eral George F. Elliott, commander of
marines, will be retired tomorrow on
account of age.
General Elliott is a native of Ala
bama and entered the marine corps in
1870. In 1885 he was a lieutenant of
marines when a battalion was landed
to protect the isthmus and conserve
American interests during the revolu-
tion resulting in the burning of Pana-
ma. He saw service OH the North At
lantic squadron during the Spanish
war, and was advanced three numbers
for galantry in the engagement at
Guantanamo. a year later he was in
the Philippines, and as major led the
second battalion of marines in the bat
tie of Nova Leta. 1t was only natural
that Major Elliott should play a part
in the repression Of the Boxer uprising
in China. and he commanded the ma
rine battalion of the Unprecedented
military feat-the march to Peking-
which resulted in the relief of legation
ers. He became commandant of ma
rines in February, 1903, and has been
stationed in washington since.

Railroads Dominate States and
Must Be Regulated, Says
Governor-EduCator
NOT OPPOSING REVOLUTION
Governors Conference Hears Ad-
dress DepIoring Federalism
but Demanding Control
Associated Pressl

FRANKFORT. Ky, Nov. 29.-Wood-
row Wilson, governor-elect of New
Jersey. addressed the conference Of
governors here today. He said in part:
THE last sixty years have seen the
great continent knit together by sys-
TENS of railway telegraph aud tele-
phone No wonder we began to turn
to the national government to regulate
what has become a force as great as
the nation in it's scope and conse-
quence.
1.-THE great organization of business
seemed to play with the states, to take
advantage Of the variety of laws and
to dominate whatever they chose.
"A new problem was presented. 1t
was still desirable that the states
adapt their regulation of the new
forces to their own conditions. To put
federal law back of the great corpora
tions would have been to give them the
right to dominate and override local
conditions and to level the variety of
communities before them. No uniform
set of rules are likely to fit the in
finitely various circumstances of the
states and their people. Hence this
conference.
I'VE have no foolish or pedantic
jealousy of federal power. But we do
not believe the Intervention of federal
power is either necessary or desirable.
We are not. attempting a task of
mediation; neither are we trying TO
stand off revolution. If those who
conduct railroads would look al their
business from the point of view and
conduct themselves in the temper and
spirit of public servants, there would
be no need of regulation.
so long as they do not, so long as
they transact their business in the
spirit of those who manage private
affairs for private gains and not for
public service, regulation will be neces-

MANS DYING DECLARATION
ACCUSES GIRL OF CRIME
Court Undecided, as Witnesses
DISAGREE on Victims Words

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. 29.-The
question of what constitutes "dying
declaration" overlaid all others dur
ing the second day of the trial Of
Hattie lie Blanc, charged with the
murder of her employer, Clarence f.
Glover, a Waltham loundryman.
Judge Bond listened all day to the
evidence of chose who stood around
Glover in his last hours. Nearly all
those witnesses were positive that
Glover had accused Hattie lie Blanc,
but ma, v said he hesitated in making
such declaration, and others testified
he continually asked the doctors to
operate on him, remarking that unless
they did so, he was gone.
Judge Bond. at the opening of the
session today, decided not to admit
this dying declaration" until he heard
the evidence to substantiate it. Judge
Bond sid tomorrow he would render
decisions, first whether the state
should be allowed to refer to the de
claration, and second, whether il
should be admitted as evidence.
