THE OBJECT of this suit is to procure
decree divorcing the said Reister r.
G roomes from the said Leona v. Groomes,
vinculo matrimonii.
The bill states that they were married
September 30th. 1907. and lived together
in the city of Pittsburg. Pennsylvania.
until January goth, 1908, when the said
Leona V. Groomes abandoned without
cause the said Reister r. Gro0mes, al
though his treatment toward her had been
kind and affectionate and that such
abandonment has continued uninterrupt-
eddy for at least three years, and is DELHI
crate and final, and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable expecta-
ton of reconciliation. That they have no
children. That said Leona v. Groomes
resides in the county of Alleeany, in the
State of Pennsylvania, and is a non-resi-
dent of the State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon this Sth day of April,
1911, ordered by the Circuit Court for Mont
gomery county, as Court of Equity. that
the plaintiff, by causing copy of this order
to be inserted in some newspaper published
in said Montgomery county, once in each of
four successive weeks before the 18th day
of May, 1911, giving notice to the said
absent defendant of the object and sub
stance of this bill. warning her to appear
in this Court in person, or by solicitor, on
or before the 5th day of June next, to
show cause, II any she has. why a de-
cree ought not to be passed as prayed.

AGAINST LEAVE TO PRINT

Serious steps to take away from Repre-
sentatives in the House the time-honored
prerogative of the leave to print" privi-
leee were last Saturday determined upon
by number Of Democratic Representa-
tives.
They assert that the practice of Repre-
sentatives in inserting in the Congressional
Record speeches which were never deliv-
ered on the floor. and then sending the
Record out to constituents to create the
false impression that the words were &C
tually spoken on the floor is pernicious,
and constitutes lie on its face.
Representative Shirley, of Kentucky, has
introduced bill which he says he will
urge with the support Of number Of Rep
resentatives on both sides of the chamber
requiring that where a member inserts q
speech in the Record without delivering il
on the floor that fact shall be stated in
plain black-face type. Only speeches ac-
tually delivered win be printed without this
notice.
Meanwhile and pending whatever may
be the outcome Of this reform, Represen-
tative Clark. Of Florida, has given notice
that he will object to any leave to print
or leave to extend remarks" during the
remainder Of the Sixty-second Congress.

FIGHTS DIRECT ELECTION.

The resolution for the direct election of
U. S. Senators went over from the House
to the Senate Monday afternoon and the
Senate opposition there made plain its
purpose to fight the measure along the
same old lines and by the same old methods
Senator Sutherland, whose amendment
at the last session so antagonized South
ern Democratic Senators as to compel them
to vote against the whole resolution, stated
his purpose of presenting it again. His
stand is that the amendment, which gives
to the Federal Government control Of the
time and place of holding Senatorial cleo
tons, is not inimical to the resolution, and
he says he hopes it will be passed with
the resolution, maintaining that it would
be very unfortunate were the resolution to
be passed as it stands.
Southern Democratic Senators look upon
the Sutherland amendment as a miniature
Force bill and some of the strongest advo-
Gates of direct elections voted against the
whole resolution rather than swallow the
diucnuIncnt, COuSiuCIiHB luot wv BiCoe
price to pay for this reform.
The voting strength for the resolution
in the Senate at this session is consider
ably greater than at the last, and its
friends have not the slightest doubt that
it will 60 through by more than the neces-
sary three-fourths majority. Monday, how
ever. Vice-President Sherman. when the
resolution came up. very promptly referred
it to the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
TONS At the last session, Senator Borah,
Of Idaho. who led the fight for the resolu-
ton, succeeded in having it sent to the
Committee on Judiciary. There its friends
were in the ascendant, and il came out
with favorable report and without the
Sutherland amendment, which had been
offered in the committee.
The desire was that it should be referred
this time to the same committee, where
its advocates are even stronger than be-
fore but Vice-President Sherman insisted
that the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons was the proper committee, and he
was supported by the Senators who are
opposed to the resolution.

WORKING ON THE MAINE.

The explosion-wrecked battleship Maine,
lying sunken in the harbor of Havana.
Cuba, may give up the secret of its de-
struction within few short weeks.
The engineer officers Of the army are
now directing the work of filing in with
dredged material the cofferdam which sur
rounds the Inflated ship. This may be
completed before another month passes,
and then the expulsion Of the water from
over and around the wreck will be under
taken.
The latter part Of May may see the up
per decks Of the Maine above water. Then
will begin the search for bodies. personal
effects. stores and whatever may be con-
cealed within or without the hull
The driving of the steel sheet piling Of
the cofferdam is finished. As soon as
possible after the cofferdam is filed in
and has become reasonably compact. the
water will be taken out. Pumping out
the area inclosed in the cofferdam will
proceed slowly. according to the report Of
the engineers in charge to the War De-
partment. so that the filing in the cylin-
ders may consolidate and outside pressure
be exerted gradually.
The level of the water will be lowered
by successive stages AS the decks Of the
Maine are uncovered. search of the wreck
will begin. Everything Of any importance
will be preserved for proper disposition.
No positive plans for the removal of the
wreck have been determined upon. 1t is
thought that the wreck, after being stripped
Of all parts Of value, will be sunk in deep
water.

THE OBJECT of this suit is for the ap-
pointment of the complainant as trustee
lor the sale OF properties described in the
Dill OF complaint, located at North Ken

veyed certain of the lots in said subdivision.
some OF which. however, were re-acquired
by him, and upon others he acquired a
mortgage lien for portion of the purchase
money. which liens are still outstanding,
That said Davis. although appearing to
take fee simple title to said property. in
fact took in trust for the benefit of such
persons as should contribute to the pur-
chase money for the same, and that he
issued declarations of trust to such con-
tributors. setting forth their respective in
terestS and trusts upon which the proper
ties were to be held for their benefit. That
the said Eldred G. Davis died interstate /.
that his heirs at law and the present bene-
nciarles of said trust estate desire that
the complainant should be appointed tns-
tee in place and stead of the said Eldred
6. Davis, deceased, and that il will he
necessary to invoke the decree of the Court
Tor such appointment, and that plaintiff
prays for this appointment as trustee for

FIXING TERN OF CONGRESS.

That neither the United States Constitu.
ton nor statute law fixes the time when
the Congressional term begins or ends, was
a statement surprising to Congressman
and contained in a pamphlet issued Wednes.
day by Henry M Rose. assistant secretary
and parliamentary expert Of the Senate.
A wransle as old as the Government
and revived last month, over the question
whether Congress died at midnight or
March 8 or could sit until noon Of March
4. started Rose in search for presidents
In his pamphlet he reviews the debate.
and rulings in the House and Senate on
the question, quoting from speeches Of
James X. Polk, John Quincy Adams, Dan.
iel Webster Jefferson Davis and Samuel
J. Randall
The question has been up several time:
before. and in 1888. like in 1911. several
appropriation bills were passed on March
4, after adjournment from March 8. Theil
legality has never been questioned
Rose discovered that the rulings were
uniformly that Congress- did not expire
until noon Of March 4.
