ARE REMARKED;
TRIAL DIVORCE IS
ENTIRE FAILURE
w. S. Johnson, of Chicago, and
Miss Daisy Stiles, of
Springfield, Wed.

A unique romance which had slum-
bered through three years trial of
divorce was awakened when William
S. Johnson of Chicago, and Miss Daisy
Louise Stiles. daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William r. Stiles. of Springfield, were
married for the second time at the
home of the brides parents.
A few of the immediate relatives of
the bride and bridegroom witnessed the
ceremony, at which the Rev. Hop
paugh, pastor of the Springfield Pres
byterian Church, officiated. The happy
for -the-second-t time couple will remain
in Springfield over Decoration Day.
and by way of second honeymoon
trip will return to their former home in
Chicago via Niagara.
And 1t is positively understood that
Mr.. Johnson's parents ere not TO live
with the young folks this time. Miss
Stileg saw to il that there would be
no chance of that repetition before she
said yes" for the second time.
Five years ago Johnson, a young
electrical engineer, aged Il, and Miss
Stiles, aged 20, were married in Spring
field. They moved to Chicago, where
johnson had obtained employment with
the street railway company. All went
merry as the proverbial marriage bell
during the year, and then the trouble
began-the aforementioned bell lost
something from the silvery purity of
its tone-grew harsher every day, until
at the end of the second year Mrs.
johnson brought suit for divorce, al
leging incompatibility of temper. The
decree was granted. There was nothing
in it to bar either of the young people
from marrying again as soon as they
liked Mrs. Johnson, now Miss Stiles
again came home to live with her
mother.
Mr.. Johnson has charge of all of the
outside work of the big traction COM
pany now. Mr.. and Mrs, Johnson are
to occupy the Johnson home in Chicago
alone this time. verything, indeed,
indicates that the Johnsons' second ad-
venture in matrimony will be success
full.

WASHINGTON, May 20. The

Justice Hughes said that the words

and interstate carriers were affected by
the statute. In this particular, he said.
it differed from the employers liability
law of 1906
Because interstate employees some
times engage in interstate business did
not defeat the law, he added.
AS to the authority of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue the or
der putting the law into effect, the
justice said that the entire question of
authority had been settled by legisla-
ton in 1910. The justice found no
other objection to the order or to the
law itself.

81 DAN SLATED TO
SUCCEED ASHLEY
WITHOUT DELAY
Fire Board Today Likely to Pro.
mote Deputy to Chief
Command.
THIRTY DAYS MOURNING
MEANS MONTHS WAIT
New Public Utility Law Will
Come Up in Question of
Transfers.

At a special meeting of the Fire
Board this afternoon, called ostensibly
for the purpose of permanently placing
the sixteen new firemen and making
several transfers that have been asked
by the men, ii is expected that Deputy
Chlef Joseph e. Sloan will be appointed
chiet to succeed the late Chief Ashley
who died May 5. Although the COM
missioners made no official declaration
of the fact that the pramotion will be
acted on, 1t is believed that this meas
ure will be taken up today SO that the
appointment may be confirmed by the
Common Council, which meets Friday
evening. Unless some action is taken
today the chiefs office Will be vacant
for another month, because the CON
firmation of the Common Council is
necessary to legalize the appointment.
| 1t was the intention of the board to
delay the matter until the thirty days
of mourning shall have expired But
II seems that the delay of a month
has made at least one of the commits
sioners desirous of settling the matter
/ at once
1t is said that no transfers will be
made for penalties. but that the men
have asked for changes. The new pub
! lie utilities law has direct bearing on
most of the transfers that will be
made, The firemen find it expensive
! to go back and forth from their homes
since they are made to pay ear fares.
Many of them have asked that they
be transferred to stations nearer their
+ homes. The commissioners, 1t is be-
lieved. will aid the men in every pos
sible way.
Another Promotion Likely Soon.
/ If Chief Sloan is promoted today the
next important step to be taken in the
/ fire department is the examinations for
deputy chief and battalion chiefs. 1t
is practically certain that the man that
/ is appointed deputy chief WILL in the
near future be the chief. for ii is not
expected that Chief Sloan will continue
in the service very long. At this time
he Is the oldest member in the depart
ment In point of service. His record
has been one that any man may be
/ proud of, and it is likely that after he
4 is made chief he will ask to be retired
] All the attalion chiefs, with the eX-
ception of Chief Schweickhardt, will
it is said take the examination for
deputy chief. At first only the names
! of Towey. Moore and McDermitt were
mentioned, but it is said that Chiefs
Morgan and Exal will also take the
examinations. Although the name of
j Chief Morgan has not been prominently
mentioned. it has been said that he
will compete with the Others and tha.
! he is hopeful of being in the lead
Chief Morgan is the c,,ly war veteran
among the battalion chiefs. Schweick-
hardt will npt take the examination
because he has not been in the depart
ment one year
