Doyle then settled on the problem of
the night He seconded the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson and sent the ten
votes of the Burke faith solidly into the
Wilson CAMP This recruiting expedi-
ton brought some more cheers from
those who adore a tiger other than that
Of the Tammany family.
Governor Harmon was brought along
to join the lighting first rank NJ. A.
Daugherty, Of Ohio, picked for his
prowess as a good holder of attention,
made the speech. When he told the
the man who had transformed Ohio
from Democratic dead sea to Dem
Ocratic paradise, the delegates gave
noisy and sincere evidence of their APP
prevail OF that service, which. in many
delegates eyes, constituted a para
mount issue
1t was at 5:45 o'clock when Mr.
Daugherty came to recommend that the
party carry buckeye in it's nomination
pocket to guard against the election
rheumat ism OF the fall His references
to Governor Harmon's services as at
torney general to his stand for reform
and progress in Ohio politics and to
his balance mentally were all received
with APPLAUSE and with cheers.
1t required a vigorous use OF the
gavel to cut short the demonstration
that Senator Gore Of Oklahoma, the
blind leader Of his states delegation,
might raise his voice for Wilson The
senator came to the stand at 5:5S
o'clock
1t was dramatic scene that found
the man without sight, led to the stand
by friendly hands and respected by
those who were at dagger's point with
his cause pleading for the nomination
Of the Princeton president He was
sure that Wilson had both availability
and ability, and ne aroused the good
humor Of the delegates by declaring:
During the last three and one half
years President Taft has been busy
carrying out the policies OF Theodore
Roosevelt on q stretcher.
He predicted that with Wilson in
the field against the Republicans there
would be only six states on the Re
publican side when the returns were
counted in November
Then it was tabloid talk with the
delegates unwilling to listen and the
galleries making it impossible for the
speaker TO be heard Scott Ferris. Of
Oklahoma seconded the Clark nomina-
ton at 6.17 o'clock. He dwelt upon
Clarks friend hip for the farmer and
the laborins man. and started new APP

COURT TO PREVENT DIVORCE.
Bill Presented to Establish Pacifying
Tribunal.

Boston, Jan. S.--There was filed in the
legislature Saturday bill for the estab-
lishment of a court of domestic relations
The objection of the court will be to
prevent as far as possible unnecessary
divorce and to re-establish felicitous re-
lations between prospective Divorces.
The courts method of procedure will
be to investigate thoroughly all cases as
soon after the filing of the libel for di-
vorce as possible. 1t will summon the
principals with view to adjusting the
difference between them. All this is to
be done privately, but a record will be
kept of the hearing, and should the case
afterward come before the divorce court
this record will be introduced as evil
dence.
Under the bill the proposed court will
be given power to grant divorces in un-
contested cases when it is fully satisfied
there is no possibility Of reconciliation.
Also the court on a petition of the ag-
prieved parties may hear cases of do
nestle infelicity where the integrity of
the family or home is threatened. if
the court believes such a hearing might
result in preventing the destruction of
the home.

COURT TELLS WHAT MUST BE
PROVED AGAINST PACKERS
Government Obliged to Show There Was
Concerted Action or This Case
Ends, Judge Carpenter
Declares.

Chicago, Jan. s.-Judge Carpenter,
after listening to further arguments and
protests by the packers attorneys
against the introduction of documentary
evidence signed with the names of j.
Ogden Armour and his executive man
ayers, had this to say just before he adj
iourned court at noon Saturday:
'The government is obliged to and will
have to show in this case a combination
of effort and concerted action on the
part of some of the defendants or all of
them before it succeeds, and unless it
does so that is the end of this case.
"And if it shows concerted action or
individual action, if you please, of each
party and then shows general situa-
ton toward which each one of these par
ties had been working, it is for the jury
to say whether, considering the results
obtained, considering what the individ-
uals did, there was an unlawful eombi-
nation"
These words intimate that in the opin-
ion of the court the government has not
vet fixed on the packers restraint of
trade" within the period covered by the
indictments, that is, within four years
past.
Jerome II. Pratt resumed the stand
Yesterday and submitted notations and
minutes signed by j, Ogden Armour,
T. ]. Connors and Arthur Meeker as
late as July. 1906. This leaves gap
of year for the government to cove
before the real case is submitted.
Counsel for the packers objected to
Pratt's evidence because the defendants
were protected by the statute of limita-
tions and signatures had not been prop
erly identified. Although part of the
evidence was allowed Saturday, such
strenuous objection was made that the
court win give a final decision to-day.
Pratt on cross-examination testified
that he could not swear that the sigma
lures to letter submitted Friday were
those of Armour and his men. but that
he was morally certain that they We're.
He wrote the letter and sent il to Ar
mour. Swift and Morris. 1t came back
with rotations giving shipment margins
and territorial allotments for the three
big companies and the National Packing
company.
The notations informed Pratt that the
National Packing company would ship
96 l-2 per cent. (of the fixed basis o.
maximum during the week of Oct. Is,
1904; Swift, los per cent; Morris, 20
per cent and armour, %.
Attorney NJ. w, Borders, one of the
counsel for the defendants. was given
permission TO question Pratt on the iden-
LITIGATION of this and other letters intro
duced with notations in pencil.
"The fact that these letters were adj
dressed to these men was the basis YOU
used in declaring that the figures We're
in their handwriting was it notf" asked
Borders
well, in a way it was replied the
witness.
IF these figures, written on a plain
piece of paper, mad been shown to you,
would you have been able to identify

ROOSEVELT CHOPS TREES.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Again Assumes Pc
Iitical Prominence.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Jan s.Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt and half dozen men
chopped down trees at Oyster Bay, Sat
urday, in the woods surrounding the eX-
presidents home at Sycamore Hill.
When Col. Roosevelt was not welding
an axe he was giving directions. The
biting cold apparently made no impress
sior, on him. To all inquirers the col
onel sent word that he would say moth
ing. After more than year of COM
parative obscurity, Oyster Bay is again
achieving prominence. When his un-
successful tour through New York state
in 1910 in behalf of Henry l.. Slim
son ended, Col. Roosevelt went into re-
tirement Until few weeks ago he
was permitted to remain undisturbed at
his home, but as result of recent po-
litical developments Sycamore Hill is
once more in state of siege. Despite
Col Roosevelt's refusal to talk politics,
squad of correspondents has camped
in the village.

CURRENT COMMENT
Benefits of Travel.

The advocates of the "See America
First" propaganda hope to save to
this country considerable part of the
$500 900 900, which it is estimated our
tourists spend annually over seas. A
commendable object from the mere econ
omical viewpoint, surely, but open to
debate. in other aspects This is still
young pioneering country, melting
pot for races, the crucible of a new civil
ization. and our people have much to
learn of the jewellers in older lands.
Even as housekeeping youth have ever
homelv wits" so a nation that is con-
tent to stay within the confines of
its great wall may easily become a
China. There is some part of Amer
lean touring of other lands that rs mere
idle time Killing and dissipation, it is
true. But there is very large part of
it that tends to make the American
mind broader in an intellectual sense and
make the American heart sympathize
with all the problems of all kinds of
humanity all over the world. The adj
vantages of travel are not to be meas
ured in money.-St. Adams Messenger.
