UNIDENTIFIED BODY
STILL UNCLAIMED
Many Persons View Corpse
Taken from Potomac.

Although numerous persons seeking
missing relatives visited the District
mOrgue yesterday and viewed the body
of the young white man taken from the
river opposite Grcfighters' wharf, near
the sea wall earlier in the day, no one
was able to identify the man. Police
of the Harbor precinct believe the man
was a labOreT.
The finding of a black derby hat and
a gray striped sack coat on the west
sea wall OF Washington HarbOr about
$50 O'Clock in the morning led to the
recovery OF the body several hours
later. II was only after dragging the
river in the vicinity OF the place where
the hat and coat were found that the
police recovered the body
1t is the opinion Of the police that in
asmuch as the man left his coat and hat
on the wall and was attired in the rest
of his clothing when found that he COM
mItted suicide
The body at the morgue is that of
man about five feet seven inches tall
He had sandy complexion. nearly red
hair wore black lace shoes, brown

JUSTICE ASSAILS
SECRET DIVORCES
GUff Decries the Practice of
Sealing Papers.

New York. Sept. 2.-The secrecy which
surrounds divorces such as that obtained
by John Jacob Astor. Frank J. Gould
and other nOtables among the rich in
society was condemned in the Supreme
Court to-day by Justice Goff as contrary
to the best interests Of the public.
Justice Golf handed down a decision,
scoring this practice of getting rid OF
an irksome husband or wife, by the Sc
Cret divorce route. in connection with his
judgment that Alfred ?. LaIghton. a
wealthy contractor, is entitled TO a de-
cree of absolute divorce from Marion S.
Laighton. The court approved a report
OF Referee William Allen recommending
that Laighton be given a divorce because
of his wifes unfaithfulness
Justice Goff said:
1T is common knowledge that in this
State a divorce can be decreed only on
statutory grounds. Were II the general
rule to suppress testimony in all di-
vorce cases, its propriety and usefulness
might be defended, but II is a gross de-
lusion to attempt to conserve public NOR
ais by the suppression OF the testimony
in one case while in hundreds of other
cases the details are publicly narrated.
This suggests the idea Of privilege
Qnd favoritism. OF all evils which may
assail the administration, of justice, this
Is the most insidious."
