Chicago. June 6.-Three women in
Chicago and probably as many more
in other Illinois cities as mourning the
death of H. E. Morrison. Two of the
Chicago trio are his widows; the third
fiancee.

E. Morrison, who was Louise Beck, he
got $4,000: from Mrs. Pearl MCDivitt,
a fiancee, he got ST, 500.

Morrison was in constant touch with
all three. Some days he could not
spend much time "at home" but he al
ways gave as an excuse that business
kept him away.
Sometimes he would swing off the
car in front of the residence of his

bride, he would hasten away to catch
the next car that would take him to
another loved one-all on the same

PROPOSED TAX
Statement of Attorney Cen

Not an Expression of a
New Policy on the Part
of the Administration.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 6.-White House
officials tonight decided to explain the
attitude toward the tobacco industry,
following rumors that Attorney Cen
eral McReynoIds's plan for graduated
excise tax on tobacco was an express
sion of new policy on the part of the
admins stration. The proposal of the
attorney general was described merely
as a Suggestion with neither approval
nor disa approval of the administration.
Identically the same scheme was pro-
posed when the Payne Aldrich tariff
law was pending. The whole thing
was intended to meet particularly an
emergency after the Independent man
ufacturers had convinced McReynolds
that their condition was growing more
hopeless because the dissolution de-

more to combination Of cireum-
stances than to lack of ability He
got by the first inning swimmingly,
setting down Bush, Witt and Craw-
ford in order. Passing Cobb in the
second upset Smith. Ty. is a terror
to young pitchers alters he gets on
the bases. He worries them and they
try to hold him close to the sack to
prevent some of his wild work. This
causes the pitchers to become I'M
steady when showing the pill at the
batter. It was so in Smiths case. He
grooved one for Veach after getting
in hole, and it was soaked for a
single, Cobb rushing to third. Cal was
afraid to leave the youth in any
longer, so sent LANCE to the front.
Probably if it had seen some one
other than Cobb on third the SoX
manager would have let Smith con-
tinue. He looks better every time he
appears, and if Cal succeeds in pick
ing up two good pitchers in one year
he will be the luckiest guy in the
business. He already has one in Rus
sell.
In the second game yesterday
Manager Callahan made shift in
his lineup that has been expected
for many days. He sent Rollie
Zeider to the out1eld, Schaller tax
ing to the bench.
Cal has wanted to have RoIlie in
the game every day, to make use
of his speedy base running and stel-
lar defensive work. Played regular
ly, Zeider will not be a weak man
with the bat. With Harry Lord go
ing at his present pace, there is not
a chance in the world for Zeider to
break in at third base. There might
be hope for him at second, but the
boss wants to give Berger a thor
ough trial, and find if the coast won
der can come through with the
goods he is supposed to have. He

hitter, though trif1e sloppy on de-
Tense. Collins is batting too heavy
to lose his head in right. j
But there is a swell opportunity
for Zeider to get that center field
job Mattick is grand fielder; butG
can't hit a lick. Bodie is no great
shakes as a fielder, can't run bases,
but can hit spring pitching like al
tornado travelling through Kansas.
He will be through as a clouter for
the year in three weeks or a MONTH
Then he will have to go to the bench.
Seasons don't make much difference
to Zeider when it comes to swatting..i
He will stick around $50 or .260, get
his share of passes, and be live man
on the paths.
Fournier only got two hits in the
two games, but had a great day. In
the first. battle he scored both Sox
runs with triple, and also knocked
a futile single. In the second he was
passed twice and sacrificed twice.
John Collins got one hit in the first
and four in the second, five safetiess
out of seven times up.
Roger Bresnahan needs more work.
to do himself justice. He went into
the game at Pittsburgh yesterday and
made two wild heaves. That shows
up bad in the box score, and it is due
to the fact that Roger has not per-
formed enough lately to gauge the
distance to the middle sack.
There is one thing to be said for
Bresnahan-he is not box score orS
newspaper player His work is the
kind that doesn't show up spectauc-
ularly. Most every one today is
praising Ed Reulbach, and boosting
him as an added star to the Cub heav-
ing corps And Ed is entitled to a lot
of credit
But just notice that he pitched the.
best game he has turned in this year,
and did it with Bresnahan behind the
log. Roger has been working out

MARRIAGES AND
DIVORCES COME
HIGH IN KANSAS

KANSAS CITY. Kant is sad but
true that marriages cost so cents
more than they did in KansaS and
divorces have jumped $40. These are
permanent prices.
The advanced quotations on di-
vorees may be lodged, but the in
crease in marriage costs cannot. The
b. G. of |. went into effect with the
publication of the Kansas session
laws.
The advance in marriage licenses
they are now $2.50-is due to the
curiosity of the state. The state an
sists on knowing the age of every
one getting married, and the appli-
cation and return must be filed with
the registrar of social statistics in
Topeka. The extra so cents goes to
him. And no "over IS" business
the way many women have given
their age-will be accepted.
Then the law also affects clippers.
When the license is taken out the
name and address of the minister
who is going to perform the cere-
naony must be given to the license
clerk. Should an irate parent arrive
he can be directed to the minister,
and maybe have the marriage
stopped.
The rise in divorces is due to. a
provision made for a divorce proctor.
The proctor will be pan by the coun-
ty commissioners, but his salary can
rot in any event exceed the income
from the divorces. To be sure he
received enough pay, the legislators
tackled on an additional SO to the
cost. which will go into the proctors
fund. The costs were paid in I'll
cases in Wyandoste county last year.
The business of the proctor will be
looked after by James M. Meek, the
county attorney, and the deputies in
his Office.
1t will be impossible for willy law
yers to slip over any hurry-up cases.
Every divorce case must be signed
by the proctor before it is filed, and
then it will be investigated The
suit. must be on file sixty days be-
fore trial..
