SAYS DIVORCED WIFE
is ENTITLED TO MORE

NEW YORK, March 1.-The allow
ances made by the courts to deserted
and betrayed wives is grotesquely in
adequate. Under our divorce laws as
administered by the courts the wife is
absolutely at the mercy Of her uncon.
scionable husband. After he has TAX
en- the best part of her life he can put
upon her dire necessity to get rid Of
her If he wishes to abandon her and
remarry. She is forced to choose BE-
tween comparative poverty and the ac-
ceptance of his terms"
In such strong terms Samuel I'm
termyer, well known lawyer, de-
nounced the injustice of the laws that
affect women.
In a suffrage speech at big suf-
frage rally held in the grand ballroom
of the Hotel Astor, Mr. Untermyer
said.
"ybis situation is due to the re-
fusal of our courts in providing for a
wife in marital cases to recognize her
share in upbuilding the husbands for
tune. The property relation should be
one Of partnership interest. Instead
of this we have a barbarous situation
where the husbands have right m
der the law absolutely to disinherit
their wives. All personal property ac-
quired by him is his own. She has
no claim upon it even when there are
no children. 1t is intolerable that
women, mothers Of our children, in
whom rests the future hope Of man
kind" said Mr.. Untermyer, SHOULD be
victims of such manifest injustice as
that to which they are subjected in
the present day."

FRANK CONNER SUICIDES
IN sILvERTON MONDAY.

Through an oversight the article
about Frank Gonner's death was omit
ted from the Weekly Herald. Briefly
stated:
Friday Mr.. Conner left Durango for
Silverton, where he visited and at
tended to business matters until Mon
day afternoon. About 2 o'clock of
that day he bid his friends goodbye
and started toward the depot, appar-
emily to take the train for home
Sometime before noon Tuesday a
dairyman driving along the railroads
tracks discovered a man with his feet
protruding from box car; upon in
vestigation he found same to be Mr.
Conner. Beside him lay pocket
knife, deep, ugly cash in his throat,
the jugular vein severed telling all
too plainly that the man had sought
death by suicide.
Financial difficulties are the only
known reason for the rash act.

OUR QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION.

The worlds production of quick
silver last year was 3, TAT short tons,
of which the United States produced
773 short tons. Quicksilver is usually
quoted in flasks, flask containing
10 pounds. The American production
therefore represents 23,401 TASKS. OF
this amount California furnished IT,
222 TASKS. In 1858 the quicksilver
production of that State was 7,723
asks, but California's greatest pro-
duction was in 1881, when the yield
was so, 651 TASKS.
In 1910 only two countries produced
more quicksilver than the United
States-Tily ss2 tons and Spain 1,102
tons. These and other statistics are
given in an advance chapter on quick
silver from Mineral Aesources Of the
United States, 1910, by II. ID. McCas-
key of the United States Geological
Survey. A copy of this chapter may
be obtained upon application to the
Director of the Survey, Washington,

NOT DEAD BUT sLEEPETH.

A number of friends of the late
Mrs. George lizard assembled in the
First M. L. church this afternoon at
o'clock to pay last tribute to the
memory of good woman, for many
years the comfort and guiding star
of the household over which she pre-
sided.
The service was incharge of Rev.
G. F. Rassweiler, and commenced with
the reading of selections from the
ninetieth Psalm, which has so often
comforted the sorrowing hearts borne
down with the chance and change of
this mortal life.
Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling
place through all generations" and
again, "a thousand years in Thy. sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or watch in the night" When all
things are unstable, it is comforting
to remember the unchanging love of
the God who is forever the same.
The speaker took for his text the
passage one 10 iiol ueduy uut Steep
eth," making the application that the
great change we call death is not the
end, but like the sleep from which we
shall awake some time in the likeness
of the Eternal.
In short obituary the following
facts were given:
"Sixty-seven years ago a little
daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
William Holmes in Quebec, Canada,
the baby being named Elizabeth. Her
early life was spent in Canada, and
in 1882 she was married to George
lizard, and came to Durango, where
the rest Of her life was spent.
"Mrs. lizard was always devoted
to her husband and three boys, two
of whom, Walter and Albert, survive
her. She was of domestic tastes and
loyal friend to all fortunate enough
to claim her regard. She was prac-
tical person, with sound common sense
that in the troubles and vicissitudes of
this mortal career stood her in good
stead at many times and on many diff
ferent occasions"
Several musical selections were
sung by the choir at intervals during
the service, including "Thy Will Be
Done," and also solo "Does Jesus
Care?" by Roeland Vandenberge.
The pail bearers were Messrs. j. W.
Green, H. w. Hanson, George Isgar,
C. E. Knowlton, John Swanson, and
F. W. Daniels. There were a great
many beautiful floral offerings in
cluding magnificent set piece of
Easter lilies, which carried out the
thought of the service in their sug-
gestion of the resurrection.
Interment was in Greenmount.

AMONG THE PALMS
AND ORANGE GROVES

John L. Mcneil, president Of the
Durango Trust company, was an out
going passenger on tie eastern this
morning bound for Denver, where he
will join Mrs. Mcneil, and they will
then go to Florida for the winter.
Mr.. Mcneil will remain about two
months on his annual vacation but
Mrs. Mcneil will probably not return
to Durango until next fall. The for
mer departed just In time to avoid the
snow that is headed our way. For the
past few days Mr.. Mcneil has been
suffering from an attack Of bronchitis,
which he promised faithfully, to leave
at some way station between Durango
and Denver, in order not to alarm
Mrs. Mcneil by his failure to talk
above a whisper.
Durango friends trust they will
have a pleasant winter among the va
rious attractions of the Florida eli
mate,
