Marriage Resulted From Ad
In Newspaper

Not Intoxicated
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

Prior to commencement of the MUIR
der trial of Ohio VS.. Lewis Bolton in
the court of common pleas Thursday
morning. Judge Wickham rendered
his opinion in three divorce cases
heard at the February term of COM
mon pleas court.
In the case of Maggie Curran VS..
Robert Curran the court dismissed
the petition and cross-petition and re-
fused divorce to the plaintiff. Judge
Wickham reviewed the case at some
length, stating that the parties were
married January 20, 1901, at Cincin-
natl, the result of an advertisement
appearing in Cincinnati paper.
The court told of the stormy scenes
at the Curran home several years af-
ter the marriage and in concluding
stated that he saw no good reason
why the couple should be divorced.
The court said they were both old
enough to know what they were doing
at the time of the marriage and that
they ought to be satisfied with con
ditions as they found them. Judge
! Wickham therefore dismissed the pc
| tition and awarded the plaintiff the
homestead in fee simple, subject to
the mortgage now upon it, as alimony.
The plaintiff was also given all the
household effects and the defendant
was directed to pay the costs in. the
| case.
In the case of Maud Cooper VS..
Daniel Cooper decree of divorce
was granted the plaintiff on the
grounds of gross neglect, but that no
alimony ge allowed the plaintiff. Each
party to pay the costs in the case.
A decree of divorce was granted
the plaintiff in the case of Sarah Davis
VS.. William Davis on the grounds of
wilful absence for more than three
years.
The court also handed down an
opinion In the case of Columbus AL
bin VS.. the State of Ohio. The plain
tiff in error was fined So and costs in
the mayors court for intoxication.
Judge Wickham reversed the judg.
ment of the mayor and ordered the
case dismissed

HOUSE MEMBERSHIP
INCREASED Ito 433
DEMOCRATS ovERTuRN ACTION
or REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Democrats Lose Ono Decision, When
They Wanted States Redis-
tricted by Legislatures.

Washington.-The Democrats of the
house, aided by a few Republicans
who declined to be bound by the
party caucus, won their fight for an
increased representation in the lower
branch of congress under the census
Of 1910. They voted down the Repub-
lican caucus bill to maintain the men,
bership at 391 as at present, and then
passed the original Crumpacker bill,
fixing the membership at 433 on and
after March 3, 1913.
Under the new reapportionment plan
no state loses a member. The follow
ing states gain the number indicated:
Alabama 1, California 3, Colorado 1,
Florida /, Georgia /, Idaho l, Illinois
2, Louisiana 1, Massachusetts 2, Mich
igan l, Minnesota 1, Montana 1, New
Jersey 2, New York 6, North Dakota l,
Ohio l, Oklahoma 3, Oregon /, Penn
s~ylvania A, Rhode Island 1, South
Dakota l, Texas 2, Utah 1SWashing-
ton 2, West Virginia /.
The Democrats lost but one decision
during the entire fight. A committee
amendment in the bill, providing that
states should be redistricted by the
legislatures, was voted down on an
appeal from the Republican members
of the Missouri delegation. They de-
clared the states should be permitted
to redistrict themselves in their W
way.

SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE.
Not Afraid of Giving to People Too
Much Power.

Washington.-Sharply antagonizing
the position of Senator Lodge on the
use of corporation influence in politics,
Mr.. Bristow of Kansas addressed the
senate in support of the resolution pro-
viding for an amendment to the con-
stitution permitting the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
How" he asked, ''ean the distin-
guished senator entertain such a de-
fusion, when at this very hour Tiers
are in a number of states deadlooks
in pending senatorial elections caused
solely by the logged and persistent
determination of certain powerful
financial interests to control the cleo
ton of senators from those states?"
He declared that there had never
been a time when these interests wre
nor vigilant and grasping for political
power and dominion than now.

New York.-Helen Vivien Gould,

PERCY SAYS SOUTH
IS AGAINST CHANGE
SENATORIAL ELECTION MEAS
URE AROUSES SENATOR.
Declares Amendment to Elect Sena-
tors by Direct Vote Fraught
With Danger.

Washington.-Senator Leroy Percy
of Mississippi made a splendid i'm
preston upon the senate and the gal
leries "Wednesday by a speech which
entities him to recognition as one of
the foremost debaters of that body.
Senator Percy delivered himself
against the Sutherland amendment to
the bill to amend the constitution of
the United States. to permit the cleo
tion of senators by popular vote. The
senator from Utah, a Republican, de-
sires the bill so amended as to place
the election of members of the senate
under federal control. Senator Percy
declared that while Mississippi and
the other Southern states want to see
the election of senators by popular
vote, the South could not aoffrd to
purchase the privilege at the very
great price fixed by the Sutherland
amendment, or, in other words, the
South wants no repetition of force
bill history.
"The effect of the amendment sug-
gested by the senator from Utah."
said Senator Percy, would be to give
congress every power now possessed
by it in regard to the election of
members of the house of representa-
tives in regard to the election of sena-
tors under the proposed resolution.
The extent of that power under the
amendment is, | believe, properly
stated by the enator from Utah, MI.
Sutherland. in response to an in
quiry by the senator from Georgia.
Mr.. Bacon. The effect Of the addition
proposed by the senator from Utah,
as stated by him, is that it will give
the federal government power to put
agents at elections of senators to
supervise these elections, to see the
manner in which the votes were
cast and to enforce what might be
thought to be the rights of electors
in such elections.
"In other words, the effect of the
amendment of the senator from Utah is
to extend a substantial, a vital power to
congress which it does not now possess"

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
FAVOR RECIPROCITY
CAUCUS VOTES FAvoRABLY ON
PROPOSITION 90 TO 22.
Ants Given Full Rein-Assures Favor.
able Action on Agreement In
House-clark is U~nequivocsi.

Washington.-Fayorable action By
the house on the Canadian reciprocity
agreement was assured Monday when
the caucus of Democratic representa-
tives formally pledged the party to
vote for the agreement. The resolution
indorsing the agreement was carried
90 to 90. On motion of Mr.. Clark OF
Missouri the action of the caucus was
made unanimous.
The anti-reciprocity Democrats we're
given free rein at the caucus. Most
OF those opposed to the Canadian
agreement submitted by President
Taft expressed their views, n q
number dwelt on the fact that the bill
incorporating the agreement should
not pass without amendment. Amend
ments, of course, would invalidate the
entire agreement.
Co%nspicuously hung in the lobby
back of the house tonight was a
placard bearing a quotation from a
speech by Minority Leader Clark June
Z last, the placard having been placed
thereby a Republican to call attention
to Mr.. Clark's opposition to any
amendment of the reciprocity bill.
The placard read:
81 do not know how long we shall
be here, but as long as | am here
intend to fight for the right to amend
every section of every great bill which
comes into this house, and | do not
care a straw whether the Democrats
control the house or the Republicans"
More than 100 attended the caucus.
Champ Clark, the minority leader, and
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama, who will
be chairman of the ways and means
committee of the next congress, and
who will begin work CT schedule by
schedule revision of the tariff as soon
as this congress adjourns, led the
movement to indorse the reciprocity
agreement, both of them declaring for
it unequivocally.
