Why Divorces Occur.
Supreme Court Justice Giegrtch.
who has presided at probably more
actions for divorce than any 1urist in
the country, took issue yesterday with
the statement of the Rev. DR.. Tall
madge that a large percentage of the
divorces each year were due to the
temptations thrust in the way of a
husband or wife during the summer
vacation period. In the opinion of
the clergyman, there was more sig
nificance than simple merriment in
the song. MY Wife's in the Country,
Hooray," and that other ophorism,
when the Cats Away, the Mice Will
Play" With the wife in the country,
the dominic said hubby" in his lone
hness, is prone to do indiscreet things
while the wife, on the other hand,
temp freed from the restrain
ing influence Of her husband, will take
| liberties which she would not think
of doing in other seasons OF the year
'1nfidelity Is not a matter OF the
seasons" said the Justice "a man or
a woman who is bad at heart does
not have to have the opportunity OF
| the freedom of summer resort or
any other form or temporary separa-
ton. They make the opportunities.
There are no temptations at a
summer resort or anywhere else for
clean minded woman who loves her
home and her husband.
81 suppose" he said thoughtfully
that have presided at as many d.
vorce cases as any Judge in the
country, and with few exceptions the
whole story lay in the fact that either
the man had tired of the woman or
the woman of the man. They were
mismated."
Professors in the Courts.
Professor Harry Thurston Peck, for
many years holder of the chair of
English Literature at Columbia Uni
versity, shared the interest Of the
courts this week with Professor H.
c. Rudy, tutor of languages at the
College of the City of New York. Pro-
fessor Peck, it will be recalled, was
sued last autumn by Esther Quinn
a newspaper writer, for breach of
promise. Subsequently he was dis
missed from the university because Of
the disagreeable notoriety caused by
the suit. Now he is suing Professor
Nicholas Murray Butler, President Of
the university, for damages for de-
famation Of character in connection
with his dismissal. In the Supreme
| Court, the other day, Professor Peck,
who has announced his intention of
| fighting the breach of promise suit
to a finish, asked through counsel to
have the action dismissed on the
ground that the attorney. for Miss
Quinn had not placed the case on
| the calendar or made any move to
have it brought to trial Decision was
reserved. On the same day Mrs. Ada
A. Rudy had Professor Rudy, her
husband, on the Goals. She asks for
a separation and alimony, claiming
that the pedagogue was more inter-
ested in a mysterious French woman,
| known only as Zaidee In her aff1-
davit to the court, the wife says he in
sisted on naming their only daughter
after this woman and that he re-
placed her portrait in a frame in his
room with that of the pretty Paris

maintained correspondence with Zai-
dee for several years and has repeat
edly assured her that he loved the

winnings in Wall Street within the
