Bottom of Most Graft.

DR.. Frederick c. Howe, director of the
Peoples Institute. treated the single tax
ers at their outlook" dinner at Kalirs

on the police situation In this city.
Or. Howe was down 10 speak later at
Gretton Hall before the Independence
Club about graft and vice among the po-
lice. so when he came 20 talk TO the
single takers he forgot all about the
speech he had in his pocket which was
to have been his subject for the followers
of Henry George.
Or. Howe said that the Fundamental
difficulty with the question Of graft i'm
connection with the prevalence OF the
so-called social evil and the sale OF
liquors was in our samptuary legislation.
This is legislative tyranny" said Or.
Howe, I'VE have entirely too many laws
making acts a crime, which I'm themselves
arc not criminal We are trying Tor a
state-made morality that will not work. "
The speaker said that the conditions in
regard 20 the social evil. in the cities OF
the United States We're hideous in COM
parison with The conditions IA European
cities, and that the evils that surine from
an attempt to control It, were vastly
greater than the existence of the evil
Itself.

FINAL DIVORCE DECREE
. GRANTED TO ". 0. HORN
Three Years. Litigation Has
Cost NeCkWear Maker
About $4,000.
GETS CUSTODY OF BOYS
One of Wife's Main Points OF
Defence Was That She
Was Not of Sound
Mind.
GETS CUSTODY OF BOYS

After three years Of litigation final
decree of divorce was granted yester-
day by Justice BLUR to william o.
Horn. wealthy neckwear manufact-
urer Of this city. Horn has also the
custody OF his two sons. IL ~ esti-
mated that the trials and retrials OF
the suit, which, together with the
separate motions and appeals, has been
before ten different justices OF the SUI
preme Court and twice TO the Appellate
Division, has cost Horn $4,000.
Mrs. Kathleen Horn defended the ac-
ton Of her husband on three points'
The first was that the acts compiaiheo
OF against her were never comnitteu'
second. she was not Of sound nina II
tho acts were committed, and in the
third point. she contended that such
acts must have been committed WIN
the consent. conniyance or procure
mont Of her husband. In the case
Jury was called upon for the hrst time
in a divorce action to decide the vaiid-
ia, ~ q defence OF insanity, according
TO lawyers.
John F. Mcintyre, counsel for Horn
presented evidence to show that MIS-.
Horn lad been sent TO several lneorlateS
homes He showed she had taken her
vounger son with her to many hotels
and saloons. She had been treated lot
fs..
alcoholism by a family physician TOT
almost eleven years, the testimony
showed.
Mrs Horn was once confined IN
Bloomingdale Asylum, and Or. Samuei
p LYON, medical superintendent or the
,s,,Ium was one of the medical ex-
merits brought into the case. DR.. VIII
lam Mabon. DR.. Gregory or the psy-
chopathic ward at Bellevue, and haif
a dozen other medical men OF high
standing. testified All agreed Mrs.
Horn was Of unsound mind. but they
did not agree as to the classihcauon
of the insanity. The question arose
as. 10 whether alcoholic excuses had
weakened her will power and caused
a loss Of self respect.
Mrs. Horns counsel, James W. Os-
borne, said that Mrs. Horn was being
deserted by a brute" He said her
mental condition was a strong reason
why Horn should continue TO support
her Mr.. McIntyre's contention was
that the mania affecting Mrs. Horn
broke up Horns home and imperilled
the morals OF the children. He said u
was really a ground for divorce. The
Appellate Division finally accepted this
opinion.
Mrs. Horn was a widow with a
daughter when she married Horn on
November IS, 1896. Their two sons
were born in 1897 and 1902. II was
some time in 1901. according TO the
testimony, that Mrs. Horn became a
dr'nkcr to excess. Horn testified that
he tried TO cure her, but could not.

Checks Police Connivanee.

Through her counsel. she cited the
decision OF the Appellate Division OF
the I'd District (Brooklyn), which ruled
that evidence as TO the repute OF a
house could not be properly introduced.
This rule had been the basis Of practice
I'm all the courts of the state until her
case was tried.
While her case was being appealed
she was arrested again, and early last
month was sentenced 10 the Work
house for three months a term she IS
now serving. The recent decision
means that she will have to spend six
months on the island before trying her
hand at her old game again.
Her conviction was fought bitterly.
1t was affirmed by the Appellate Divl-
sion, LIST District (New York;, and then
II was taken to the highest court of the
stat,
James T.. Smith, Assistant District
Attorney. who prosecuted the case, said
the decision, which was written by JUS
tice Chase, will have an important
bearing on the Hotel Lincoln case,
which comes up for trial on Wednes-
day. This hotel is backed by sam"
Paul, head Of the Sam Paul Associ1-
ton, and MAX" Hochstim, another
well known East Slider The defend
ants in the case are Phillip Blau and
David Goldsmith.
AS result of the decision the Dis
'rict Attorney will be able TO introduce
the testimony of people who live in the
neighborhood TO show the repute OF the
house. Hereafter when corrupt police
try to throw a dtsorderIy house case out
Of court the District Attorney may
subpoena neighbors to testify to the
character Of the premises.

declared that he started to cross the
track at a fairly good speed, but sud
denly seemed TO stop as if trying to

verified because Glover was too badly
hurt to give any account Of the acct
dent.

not used, that the various societies in
this city who have studied the social

He said that segregation would not

out that in a large city like New York
