UNION WITH COUNT
IS ENDED QUICKLY
Decree Of Divorce Granted in
French Courts to Countess
de Bots Lucy.

Especial Cable TO The Times Dlspatch.1
fafiS. November 3.-Another mar
riage of an American woman to n
titled Frenchinan ended unhappily to-
day when the Countess de Bois Lucy
was granted an interlocutory decree
OF divorce by the Paris courts against
Count Andre Hayoet de Bois Lucy
This case Is supposed TO hold the
record for short marriage alliances.
They were married In Paris on Decem-
Der p last. They went to Cairo for
the honeymoon, and had scarcely re.
turned to the Continent when disputes
arose. The countess said that the
count was in the habit OF insulting
her. and charged that he had struck
her. Then they separated after little
more than ten weeks OF married life
The countess shortly thereafter began
the divorce proceedings, which result
ed In her favor to-day.
The count entered no defense, and
the decree becomes absolute within
two months should the count fail I'm
his appeal.
The countess was tho widow Of J.
d. Bachelor. then wealthy Chicago
lumberman, who left her consider
riage she was Julia O'Neil, Of New
Orleans.
Tho marriage, according to the
countess, was purely an affair OF af-
lection. Having tried both an Amer
lean husband and member OF tho
French aristocracy, the countess Is
quoted ms saying that she has come to
the unshakable conviction that the
American men make the best husbands.
She says tho American men are also
tho finest types of the whole world.
Should she SO desire, the countess
may continue to use the title ns the
French law so permits She will re-
turn TO the United States In short
time. y

BIG TAX PROBLEM
HAS BEEN SOL WE'D
Supreme Court Upholds Massa-
chusetts Law Levying on
Foreign Corporations.

Washington. November 3.-After
years OF vain endeavor. Massachusetts
has solved the problem of taxing for
cign corporations doing business with
IN her border. The Supreme Court
to-day sustained as constitutional tho
Massachusetts foreign corporation tax
law or 1909. Chief Justice White and
justices Vandevanter and Pitney dis
senteo The decision was regarded by
many ms marking an epoch in state
taxation.
The Massachusetts law provides that
every foreign corporation shall nav
annually an excise tax OF one aftieth
Oh per cent of Its authorized stock.
Justice Day. who delivered the dcci-
sion, and Justices Holmes. McKenna
Lurton, Hughes and Lamar Interpreted
TINS to mean almost the same as tha
Federal corporation law. They held
'hat this meant tax on the privilege
OF doing business within the state, and
not tax on the property or the cor
poration outside the State
Though no dissenting opinion was
deiiNered. the report was current dur
ing the day that the dissenting mem
oers OF the court held the case to be
virtually Identical with the western
Union and Pullman cases from Kansas
wherein Kansas tax on foreign cor
porations was held unconstitutional a
lew years ago. Justice Day directed
much OF his argument to this point.
lie said that the Kansas cases In
VOWED taxes upon capital stock repre-
setting property both In and out of
the State. the law thus imposing a
burden on interstate commerce. He
pointed out that the business OF the
western Union and the Pullman Com
pany was interstate commerce. while
In the two cases decided to-day the
business OF one compar was mining
and the other manufacturing, only in
cidental!y connected with interstate
commerce. He said that the Massa-
chusetts law was not to be interpreted
as tax on interstate commerce or as
applying to foreign corporations en-
gagged wholly In interstate commerce.
