to summers, but with a few extra
winter, fitted into Detroit, Friday
morning, on the wings of Lake Erie

the way TO the central police station,
she expostulated. She said she'd Ak

just knew her father had tipped of

she saw him.
All this time. papa was beating 1t to
Detroit on fast express, intent on
getting to Detroit before the boat. He
didn't beat the boat. but he found his
Oracle over In the station house. She
was still expostulating, when papa en-

One look al papa's face and the girl
decided to forget everything she had
planned to say to father. She became

said Come along with me-" Oracle

BIGAMIST % YEARS, SUES HIS
FIRST WIFE FOR DIVORCE
Affidavit Filed In Ann Arbor Says In
diana Man Waited Long Time
Before Seeking Decree.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 19.-An
affidavit charging bigamy was filed IN
the divorce suit OF Thomas Van
Dusen late yesterday. This case has
one of the queerest legal tangles ever
known in this court.
The Van Dusens were married July
4. 1868, and lived together until Oc-
tober, 1869. Van Dusen claims that
his wife then left him, but she al
leges that he was the one to leave.
He filed suit for divorce In 1892 and
got a decree In the local courts, but
failed to have Judge Kinne sign II.
Later he acquired some valuable prop
erty In Texas, and In 1895 was commit
ted to the insane asylum In Logans.
port, Ind. ..s 49,, y. -
Last January his guardian sought "a
sell the Texas property and found that
the divorce decree granted ~ years
ago had never been signed the
Judge, making II OF no effect. Accord
ingly he came into court here and ask
ed Judge Kinne to sign the decree.
and the Judge, supposing that every
thing was all right, signed tt The
fact was published in a newspaper,
and Mrs. Van Dusen learned OF 1t.
Her attorney Immediately filed q
motion asking the court to vacate the
decree on the grounds that Mrs. Van
Dusen had never been notified OF the
application for decree OF divorce,
and stated that the articles In the
newspaper was the first intimation she
had that a divorce had even been ap-
piled for. Judge Kinne then set aside
the decree, and permitted Mrs. Van
Dusen to file an answer to the old bill
OF complaint, fled In 1892.
Yesterday an affidavit signed by p.
v. Hoffman. of Auburn, Ind, was fled
in court, In which the allegation 10
made that Van Dusen went to Indiana
in 1859, and In 1872 procured mar
riage license and married a woman OF
that city. Twenty-three years later
he began suit here for divorce from
his first wife, according to the court
files, and IL the affidavit is to be be-
lieved he had two wives at the time.
Van Dusen Is still In an insane asy-
lum in Logansport, and his business
interests are being looked after by b
guardian, so II is improbable that any
criminal action will be taken against
him.

SAYS HISTORY IS
UNFIT TEXT BOOK
Episcopalians Declare Prof. Bourne's
Work Distorts Facts-Want II
0usted From Schools.

Because of alleged perversion or
facts by the historian, Bourne, in the
text book, Modern and Medieval His
tory" used In the Detroit public
schools, the convention OF the diocese
OF Michigan. in its closing session.
Thursday afternoon. In st. Pauls
chapel voted to appoint a committee
to quietly take up With the snpertn:
tendent of schools. In Detroit, the un-
fitness of this book as text book"
The point especially objected TO py
the Episcopalians II that Prof. Bourne
says, the creed Of the English church
was drawn up In 1547 and this creed
with slight alterations was to become
the 80 articles" q statement which
brought from Dean Marquis the re-
mark that prof. Bourne gave proof
OF having little or no acquaintance
with the facts"
Some startling and 'unwelcome
figures were presented to the conyen-
ton by the committee on the state OF
the church, of which Dean Marquis is
chairman. Statistics gathered the
past year, show that the gain In MEM
bership during the past 10 years has
been very small, and that the increase
comes almost wholly from the rural
districts. In Detroit with its rapid in
crease In population the acquisition TO
the Episcopal membership has been
almost nil. The report says:
The population of Detroit has In
creased 180,062 In ten years. the total
membership of the city churches from
6,6l2 to 9,3O4 or 1872. Ten years ago
the city had "a parishes and missions.
now 1t has 21. The diocese a decade
ago had so parishes, 20 organized mis-
sions, and 20 unorganized missions.
Today II has SO parishes. 3S organized
missions and Is unorganized missions,
net gain Of 10 places OF worship OF
all sorts"
The good results In the rural dis
tricts were attributed by the commit
tee to the unfailing devotion and work
of the Rev. w. 8. Sayres, general mis-
sionary Of diocese.
The convention voted to increase
Bishop Williams yearly salary from
$4,000 to $4,000, with residence pro-
vided and travelling expenses paid.
Although the bishops strong plea
made In his annual address, Wednes-
day, regarding a pension Of not less
than $700 per annum for clergy In SER
vice upwards Of 20 years, was refer
ed back to the committee on canons,
to be acted upon next year. there
seems little question but that the mat
ter will 60 through. The convention
finished It's business Thursday after
noon and adjourned.

which two men were leading along the

Without warning, thed og dashed
from the sidewalk and began nipping
the burro's legs. A burro is credited
with being quite shifty Of foot and
this one was no exception to the rule.
He managed to get In some very nifty
kicks on the dogs short ribs. This
served TO anger the bull still more
and he finally managed to get fierce
hold on the burro's flesh.
For a few minutes, burro and bull
battled furiousiy. Had It gone TO a
finish, the bull undoubtedly would
have been victor, but q policeman
came to the rescue and with a club
pounded the bull over the head until

ments. Justice Teagan Is represented

never interfered In the marital affairs
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Teagan. While he
was on the stand Mrs. Teagan sat
weeping at the counsel table. She had
been under a nervous strain through
out the day and when the ordeal was
over she was almost In a state Of col
lapse.
Justice Teagan took the stand to re-
but the testimony gwen by his wife
and her witnesses in support OF her
cross-bill. He denied practically all
her allegations, but admitted that his
wife had once called at a saloon TO
ask him To come. home. IL was on
this occasion that Mrs. Teagan found
him drinking with the wife Of the
proprietor
The Justice denied that he was ever
30 drunk that he could not take care
OF himself or that he had ever struck
his wife.
"Is II true that your wife had to
hal IN Of hat
I'D like TO see little woman like
her pull me out OF the bathtub," was
the rather -eyasive reply.
do you use Intoxicating liquors to
excess?"
II never drank any more than have
today, and I don't think l am intoxi-
Gated now, l drink every day and
have done SO all my life."
Justice Teagan said he signed the
separation agreement introduced In
evidence because he loved his wife
and to avoid litigation. Under the
agreement he was to pay her $50 per
month, but he broke It. he said, when
bills she had incurred began coming
In.
William Teagan, clerk Of the justice
courts and brother Of the plaintiff, tes-
tilted that the justice had never been
absent from court because OF drunk
enness and that the latter does not
drink to excess. II Is customary for
the Judge to use rough language even
to friends, he said y.

KENYON MAY sIFT
-L0RIMER CHARGES
Case VIII Probably Go To Committee
On Privileges and Elections, of
Which He Is Member.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-It ap-
peared almost certain today that
Senator William 8. Kenyon, OF Iowa,
who Immediately after his election,
declared his intention to fight against
permitting William Lorimer OF ILL
nois to remain in the senate, will
have an early opportunity to make
good.
Senate leaders declared that Sen
ator LaFollette's plan to have q sec
ond Lorimer investigation conducted
by five new senaors, would probably
be amended so as TO put the matter
in the hands OF the committee on
privileges and elections, because so
much new evidence has been produc-
ed that this committee is entitled to
another chance to conduct the probe.
Former trust-buster Kenyon is one
of the new members OF the commit
tee. Burrows, of Michigan, who was
chairman during the last inquiry has
retired from the senate and Senator
Dillingham; (Rep., VT, is now chair
man.
Senator ,Clapp (Rep., Mimi, and
Kenyon are expected to lead In the
inquiry for the Republican progress
sives. Senators Bailey (Dem., Tex.l.
and Paynter (Dem., Ky), two OF Lori
mer's strongest supporters In the last
hearing, will also be on the commit
tee and will take the lead for those
who voted for Lorimer.
Other members OF the committee
are: Gamble tRep., S. Do: Hepburn
(Rep., Idaho); Sutherland lRep.,
