ADVOCATES SPECIAL COURT
TO HEAR DIVORCE CASES.

Seattle, Oct. 23.-Judge King
Dykeman, of the superior court, be-
lieves that a court of domestic rela-
lions, to give its entire attention to
divorce cases, would cut down the
number of divorce DEGREES granted
in King County at least one-third.
Judge Dykeman yesterday announced
his intention of presenting the mat
ter to his brother judges, with the
hope of having judge detailed to
the work under rules to be adopted
by the bench.
1t is believed by Judge Dykeman
that the rule could be made without
addition legislation, requiring the in
vestigation of all divorce cases be-
fore trial. This would give the new
court an opportunity to do it's work
and to heal domestic differences
where the causes for divorce were
trivial, as many of them are, and
to stop in the incipiency the many
cases where collision of husband
and wife is made plain.
Court Testimony WldenS Breach
81 think a court of domestic rela-
tons should be established here on
some general lines as the juvenile
court. While it would involve the
investigation of many cases that have
no real merit, it would also enable
unbiased and disinterested officials
to conduct such investigation under
the authority of the court, and to
endeavor to keep the home intact,
rather than to allow it to be broken
up for selfish interests. I know of
many cases where DEGREES have not
been granted, and yet the parties
were prevented from reuniting by the
feeling engenderd over the testimony
given in court. If these cases do
not come to trial they will more
surely result in reconciliation
through the good Offices of the court.

COMPANIES WILL COMBAT
STATE LIABILITY LAWS

New York, Oct. 23.-The last steI
in uniting practically all the liability
insurance companies of this coun.
try and Europe in one organization
was taken yesterday when the Liza.
bility Insurance Association, at its
fifth annual meeting, voted to join
the organization. The other organi-
cations included are the Board OF
Casualty and Surety Underwriters
and the International Association OF
Accident Underwriters.
The coalition will be known as the
International Casualty & Surety I'm
derwriters' Association. The main
purpose of the union, it was stated
at the meeting, was to combat the
agitation to have insurance handled
by state governments.
1t was claimed that the higher
rates recently fixed were necessitated
by employers liability laws.

ECONOMIC CAMPAIGN
PLANNED FOR KENNEWICK.

Kennewick, Oct. 21.-"Keep the
Dollar at Home" is the caption under
which an economic campaign will be
launched by the Commercial Club.
The movement is to be started for
the purposes of conserving the re-
sources and promoting the industries
of the valley by scientific obedience
to the law of supply and demand.
At present many commodities,
which could be produced here, are
shipped in while the local demand is
not sufficient to encourage the pro-
duction of other commodities which
cannot be profitably disposed of in
distant markets.
In order to accomplish this COM
plete data will be compiled as to To-
cal production and corresponding
data as to local consumption.
The need of some such plan has
been emphasized by the arrival here
within the last three weeks of two
full carloads of eggs from Nebraska
The country tributary to this city is
adapted in every way to successful
poultry raising.

has been entirely supplied by i'm
ported creamery butter and flour, not
withstanding the fact that the val
ley Offered great possibilities for
dairying and the Horse Heaven
wheat belt is only a few miles dis
tant. The importation of butter and
flour, however, has been ended by
the opening of the Kennewick Grain
& Milling Company's new plant and
the operations of the Columbia River
Creamery Company.

the different groups of buildings will

originally planned to one that will
require no less than $50 acres fol

ROOSEVELT INTENDS TO BE
SILENT DURING CAMPAIGN

Richmond, Va, Oct 23.-The part
which former President Roosevelt
will take in the coming national cam
paign will probably be one of silence.
This has become publicly known
through letter which he wrote to
Representative ]. Hampton Moore, of
Pennsylvania, president of the At
lantic Deep Waterways Association,
declining an invitation to address the
convention.
Col. Roosevelt declared emphati-
cally:
From now on I wish to avoid
making any speech that can pos
sibly avoid"
Concluding his letter, Mr.. Roose-
welt said:
81 cannot undertake anything fur
Their of any kind or sort now"
These portions of the colonel's let
ter were interpreted to mean that
he wished to refrain from giving ut
terance to any opinions which pos
sibly might be misconstrued in the
presidential campaign.
