Secretary Houston of the Department of Ag-
riculture has announced his intention of reducing
the expense of maintaining some of the bureaus
by eliminating part of the duplication of effort and
red tape hitherto considered necessary. He has
made request for a much lower appropriation
from Congress for the Weather bureau than for
mery set aside, as he proved that the same amount
of work could be done for less money
When the Secretary continues his investiga-
tions he will no doubt soon discover that the Dis
trct offices in the Forestry bureau are about the
most useless expense ever maint aimed by the Gov
ernment

ing of stockmen, he must authorization from

that very clear to-day during the trial
of Mrs. Mona Mundell Coster's suit for
the annulment OF her marriage to Nor
man Il. Coster. an official OF the Mer-
camille safe Deposit Company. Mrs.
Coster Is known to Broadway as Mona
Morgan, and Is now playing the In
genue part In The whip"
The grounds upon which Mrs. Coster
sues are that she was only seventeen
years old when she married Coster last
fall, and II is the contention OF her at
torney that the New York law does not
recognize the marriage OF a girl under
eighteen. whether performed with the
consent OF the parents or not. The
girls fathers testimony regarding her
age was not considered satisfactory, and
to-day counsel called to the stand DR..
Milton X. Kneiter OF Philadelphia, who
officiated at Mrs. Coster's birth. lie de-
clared positively that the girl was born
Oct. I. 1895. which would make her only
seventeen when the marriage was per-
formed.
Counsel for Coster was asked by The
Justice II he agreed with opposing coun.
sci that the laws OF New York allow
girl to rush into the married state
and then out again at will?"
