DIVORCES
Norwegian Law Urged as a
Model for America

New York, July 2o.--It is Frau Ella
Anker. leader of the woman's move
ment in Norway, who announces that
her country has solved the divorce
evil. She is sister-i -in-law Of Herr
Johann .Castberg, minister of justice
in the last Norwegian cabinet. Herr
Castberg framed the law OF 1910 which
is believed to have accomplished the
miracle. Frau Anker expects to agi-
tate in this country, as she already has
done in England, for a general di-
vorce law modelled on the Norwegian
measure

Frau Anker, recently. "that this law
which has done so much to solve the

MILLIONS FROM
TITANIC WRECK
NEW YORK STATES INHERIT
ANcE TAX WILL SWELL BY
DEATHS OF RICH MEN.

New York, July 20.-Over two thirds
of the inheritance tax of the state OF
New York is collected in New York
City. 1t gets nearly all of the larger
estates During the last year it has
collected the tax on the estates of Jo-
seph Pulitzer, Richard T. Wilson. Cor
nelius N. Bliss and Frank Work
There was collected in New York
county during the fiscal year ending
on Sept. 80, 1911, $4,637, ,422.95 and in
the city $4,000, ,371.56.
The recent catastrophe of the I'll
tanic will, 1t is thought, add from
$6.0O0,OOO to $7,00O,000 to the state
treasury from the estates of John
Jacob Astor, Isador Straus and Ben
jamin Guggenheim alone, and probably
the latter total will be reached from
the estates of all the victims of the
disaster. 1t will possibly be the cause
of making 1912 the banner year in
the records Of the office. 1t is
thought that the total receipts will not
be far from $11 100000.
An increase In the number of tax
appraisers has been rendered neces-
Sary by an enormous increase in bust
ness and this has compelled an in
crease in the size OF the offices. Three
or four years ago half dozen rooms
were sufficient for the transaction OF
business. Now a. row of rooms the
full length of the big City Investing
Co.'S building on Broadway is rem.
dered necessary and all are crowded
with the business of the eight state
appraisers.

having passed the upper house, said
committee is now busy looking the
matter up. It has already discov-
cred that the cost Of such a ship
would be tremendous, though the
proximate amount has not yet been
ascertained.
The fact that the expense of this
proposed vessel would be tremendous,
does not worry Tillman. His idea
In having IL built is to show the folly
Of war, and the more expensive it
is the bigger an object lesson 1t would
prove to be.
TilInaan wants to call this vessel
IL it ever is built-the Terror-and
were his ideas carried out IT would
certainly. be terror in fact as well
as In name.
He would have the Terror the last
of the American battleships. His
idea is that the great financial drain
on the people from naval increase
would cease by building one monster
vessel, and thereafter money should
be devoted to internal and domestic
developments.
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
winthrop has estimated that the
ship suggested by Mr.. Tilman's
resolution would have to be vessel
OF nearly 10000 tons displacement.
to keep up with the present rate OF
naval development. The largest war;
ships now building are for the Ar
gentine republic, and they have a
displacement of $4,000 tons each.
They will be the most powerful
fighting vessels afioat when COM
pleted.

CLOTHES TO COST
MORE NEXT YEAR

New York, July 2O.-The price OF
clothes is going to be advanced next
year. This increased tax on the al
ready high cost of living is clearly In
dicated, merchants say today, by the
prices named by leading producers OF
cloth, who have lifted the prices for
the spring of 1913 season rom 7h
cents to 20 cents q yard above those
which prevailed last year, when the
values for the past spring season
were announced.
Cloth prices are higher for the next
spring season. agents say. because OF
conditions over which the manufac-
turers have no control. They say that
the most important element that
brought about the advance is that the
domestic wool clip this year ID about
30, 900, 900 pounds smaller than year
ago. The price of wool has also gone
up abroad, while mill owners say
that tho high scale OF wages and the
shorter working hours will also have
their effect on the increased price Of
cloth

New York, July 20.-The tragic
death Of Herman Rosenthal, the New
York gambler, shot to death because
he had promised to reveal what he
knew concerning the sinister relation
between the gamblers and police of
this city, rang down the curtain on a
life like that of a character in a mel
odrama. The police were his enemies
almost from birth, and while he was
constantly in touch with them and
claimed to have turned over thousands
of dollars in protection money" he
cherished deep hatred for the whole
tribe. He looked upon them merely
as the tools of politicians, oppres-
sors and collectors of dirty money.
