WIFE HAS A
RICH WOMAN
PUT IN JAIL

bridgeport, Conn, May 20.-How tc
keep out Of Jail without paying SO, 1853
to-the jealous wife Of her former chauf-
! feur is today engaging the attention Of
Mrs. Jessie Livingstone Forbes, wife
of A. Holland Forbes, the celebrated
aeronaut. AS it is, Mrs. Forbes is
only half out of the county jail. She
Is not locked up, but she cannot return
to her home in Fairfield, from which
she was dragged to prison, as that
place is outside of the ''jail limits an
imaginary line which does not embrace
more than the confines of Bridgeport
When Mrs. Forbes was arrested she
was surprised in her home by Deputy
Sheriff Peter Doolan of Bridgeport,
who hustled her away to the Fairfield
county Jail. He arrested her ON body
writ secured from the civil superior
court by Mrs. Ida G. Rowley.
Several months ago Mrs. Rowley
sued Mrs. Forbes for alternating the af-
fections of Ernest G. Rowley, chauf-
feur for Mrs. Forbes, and through Mrs.
Forbes not entering a defense, judg-
ment was entered against her by de-
fault. Judge Curtis heard Mrs Row
ley's testimony several weeks ago and
entered judgment for $3.50.
What purported to be endearing
notes from Mrs. Forbes to Rowley were
handed to Judge Curtis by Mrs. Row
ley. When he returned the verdict he
handed the packet of letters back to
Attorney Slade. The contents have
never become public,
Forbes started from Quincy, Ill,
with ]. @. Yates, an astronomer, two
weeks ago, and his trip ended with the
collapse Of his balloon, the Viking, In
the mountains of Kentucky.
Forbes summoned his chauffeur, not
Rowley, who was discharged before
the trouble arose between Mrs. Forbes
and Mrs. Rowley, and invited the sher-
iff to make the trip from Fairfield to
the county jail in his machine. At
the Jail Forbes bade his wife adieu, but
soon returned and posted a $4,000
bond.
Mrs. Forbes left the Jail in gay
spirits, although under her conditional
freedom she is not privileged to return
to her home. 1t Is expected that she
will take the poor debtors oath today,
swearing she owns no property, there
by putting an end to the effort to sat
isfy the judgment in favor of Mrs.
Rowley.
Mrs. Rowley was the only witness
heard during the alienation suit, she
testifylng that her husband had grown
to neglect her following his entering
the Forbes employ, and that she suf
fered so much anxiety that she be-
came a mental and physical wreck In
consequence and was forced to enter
hospital for treatment.
While Mr.. and Mrs Forbes have
steadfastly refused to discuss the de-
tails of the case from It's inception,
they have termed 1t an attempt to
blackmail hem.

New Orleans, La, May 20.-The seat
of operations of the warning factions
of Nicaragua may be changed from the
desultory guerrilla warfare which has

Mr.. PinchOt's Statement.

Clifford Pinchot, late Chief Forester, in
his statement printed this morning, makes
an Indictment of Congress that is bound
TO impress the country.
As a publicist, It Is now evident, he Is
destined to be no less factor In national
affairs than as a public servant. In
fact, # Is quite conceivable that his d.
vorcement from official Iife-reudsred I'M
peratlve by the exigencies Of the case
has strengthened him as the foremost
champion Of national conservation and
made him more formidable factor than
no was before.
An overzealous official perhaps, nobody
ever doubted his sincerity Of purpose or
the righteousness Of his undertaking; and
he speaks now IN courageous, aggressive
terms that Will at once command atten-
ton. He presents his case as Roosevelt
was wont to present his case.
The issue Is drawn-sharply drawn-and
Congress cannot evade 1t, If It would.
The administration has acted with Wis
dom in the appointment Of Mr.. Graves
as Chief Forester-a man Of Nix. Plnchots
type. Thus is assurance given that the
Forest Service. whatever the handlcaps
due 10 a tense situation, is to be kept
IN capable hands.

Army and Navy Elimination.

The plan for the relief of the commits
stoned personnel of the United States
navy may be considered as we'll on its
way toward presentation TO Congress.
The scheme will be fortified. it is under
cstood, by copious statistics and convinc-
ing arguments derived from the naval
general board The proposition is deserv-
ing Of the closest scrutiny by the House
and Senate Naval Committees before any
action is taken by those bodies as q step
toward the enactment OF the legislative
remedy. There has been recognized in
both the army and navy desire TO adopt
elimination as means OF helping promo
ton. This, no doubt, has its conscientious
advocates. At the same time il must be
taken into account that ali these plans
for relief OF the military-naval personnel
originate. for the most part, with officers
who are likely to be most directly bene-
flied by the plans they suggest It is no
attack upon the integrity OF their pur-
pose to say that Congress should assume
a critical attitude toward these projects
to the end that injustice may be done to
no officer or class Of officers. OF that
expense OF military-navaI maintenance
be not increased to foster any plan Of
elimination.
Promotion IS a very desirable factor.
and 1t will be appreciated by the civilian
observer that military organization must
be seriously handicapped when the ad-
vancement Of personnel is unduly retard-
ed. But there has been promotion in va
riOus parts Of the army and navy quite
beyond precedent in the last few years;
pay and allowances have been substan-
TALLY increased and the cost Of main
tanning the army and navy has steadily
advanced until It has assumed proportions
which may legitimately be regarded as
alarming II IS on this ground that Con-
gress has a right to insist that any propo-
5itiOn Of relief shall not increase the cost
Of maintaining the commissioned person
mel and shall not, moreover. support on
the retired list officers who are capable
Of performing their duties by all the
standards, physical and professional.

Stock Without Dollar Mark.

Recently there has been discussed IN
financial and legal circles the proposition
OF stock without the dollar mark" but
the first practical application Of such a
principle comes with the financing Of the
Chicago surface railway lines BY the Nor
gan syndicate. With the change in con-
troll OF the several companies which here
tofore have made up the traction systems
in Chicago. the proposal is made 10 issue
a large amount of stock for the purchase
of other lines in the future or for the
extension Of the present system.
There Will be some criticism when the
plan Is put into operation. Already the
recent merger has resulted in the issue
Of S62300,O90 new securities. when the
total outstanding securities OF the
merged lines amounts 20 only about s24. =
O0oO0o. making nearly 100000 worth Of
the new Issue as near water as it is
possible in financing.
Criticism of this issue resulted In the
originating of the plan to issue two series
of participating certificates" having no
par value and not intended for immediate
offer to the public This stock Is to be
held by the trustees as elastic securl-
ties" There IS no analogy with elastic
currency" however. for in the case OF
currency it can expand or contract. but
In the case Of the new securities there
is no possibility for contraction. At least.

Germany's Potash Trust.

Il appears that the fact IS not yet es-
tablished that the act pending before the
German Bundesrath, for taking under
government control the potash syndicate,
would involve an undue discrimination"
against the United States, and so bring
into action the maximum tariff upon I'm
ports into this country from Germany
The proposed act would affect all for.
eign markets alike, with the possible ex-
ception Of outstanding private contracts
Of some Of the independent producers
The establishment of a government mo-
nopoly might affect some Of those con-
tracts but that need not mean undue
discrimination against the United States,
or a failure 10 accord to its products
treatment which IS reciprocal or equiv
alent" In that statement it Is assumed
that the proposed monopoly would affect
the trade OF citizens Of the United States
precisely as il would those Of other ma
tons.
The reported purpose Of the German
act is to form an official trust to restrict
the production and maintain the price OF
potash The ultimate object is stated to
be that Of conservation. The Prussiau
government which is the prime mover
IN this policy, is one Of the principal
owners of potash mines, and one Of its
officials was at the head of q syndicate
that had failed to control the Industry
because Of the tendency to competition.
That syndicate. because of Its profits
was forced TO admit new companies into
its combination, but finally it lost ex-
elusive control Of the export trade 70 the
United States. Out OF this failure arose
the official intervention. which proposes
TO alIot TO each company the quantity Of
potash that it may produce each year
There is 10 be an imperial commissioner
70 look after the application Of the law.
This may be wise policy. or it may not;
but that would seem 70 lie within the
province of German judgment. so long
as other nations are treated alike. Hence
on the face OF the case, there appears no
undue discrimination sgainsu the United
States. This Is another instance in which
the maximum and minimum section OF
the tariff act will either prove mean
ingIess, or else a source OF difficulty in
furious TO commerce.
