DIVORCE A BAR TO BENEFIT
Judge Stevens Holds Wife Ceases to
Be Member OF Family When
She Receives Decree.

Madison Holding that the findings
Of the industrial commission do not
support the award of $1,000 made to
Minnie Lawrence of Superior against
The Lake Superior Terminal and
Transfer company, Circuit Judge Ste
gens has set it aside
The case is one of unusual interest
as Mrs. Lawrence was divorced from
her husband nine days before his
death, which resulted from injuries he
received while in the employ of the
"ailroad company.
She claimed death benefit of
$4,000 but the commission awarded
her $1,000, upon stipulation of all par
lies.
Judge Stevens holds that a wife
ceases to be a member OF the family
when she receives her decree of di-
yorce. The court points out that it
seems to be settled in Wisconsin that
divorced father is liable for the care
and support of his minor children
when the divorce decree makes no pro-
vision directly for their support. as
N this case.

Huge Ore Carrier Whose
Cargo Shifted.

Port Huron, Mich. Nov. 12.-The
greatest lake tragedy of the present
year doubtless has occurred in Lake
Huron as a result of the terrible gale
which prevailed all Sunday night
About eight miles north of here a
huge steel freighter has turned over,
and il is presumed that every mem
Der of its crew of possibly forty men
has gone to the bottom
Just what ship it is is not known.
Marine men think the boat may be an
ore carrier, which became uncontroll-
able in the storm and shifted its cargo.
1t was sighted by Captain Plough
OF the Lakeview life-saving station
His lifeboats had been wrecked In
Sundays gale and he reported the
ship to the Reid Wrecking company,
which sent the tug Sarnia City to the
scene. That craft is laying by. serv-
ing as marker for other vessels
The capsized vessel is one of the
modern types OF steel freighter, about
600 feet long and lies in about sixty
feet of water.

The wedding followed so closely
upon the announcement that many of

Mr.. McCombs said that the chief

Comment Calls Result Triumph for
Jewish Race as Well as Vindica-
\ ton to Innocent Man; Ends Ritual
Murder" Talk.

Kiev, Russia, Nov. 12.-Found not
guilty by the jury that had heard the
evidence in his trial, Mendel Bells,
the Jew accused by the government of
ritual murder" had to be escorted
from the courthouse to his home by
an escort of soldiers on Monday
So angry was the crowd that jam
med the little courtroom here, and
so incensed did the larger crowd out
side become when news Of the YER
dict penetrated the walls, that 1t
seemed for time that the Russians
would tear the acquitted defendant
to pieces.
Only by marching with fixed bay
onets was the escort of soldiery able
to force a passage to the Bells cot
tage, which is scarcely stones throw
from the courthouse AT night the
entire district was patrolled by sol
diers.
Once in the bosom of his family.
for the first time in two years. Bells
collapsed completely.
While his wife and children cow
cred at the sounds of conflict that
followed the dispersal of the mob
by the Cossacks, the man himself
sank YEARLY upon a bed. his strength
utterly exhausted.
The specific charge against Bells
was that he had killed Andrew Yush-
insky. a Christian boy, for the pur-
pose of using his blood in a sacrif-
cial ritual demanded by his religion.
The verdict, for which the whole
world awaited anxiously, is considered
an final and telling blow to the ritual
murder myth, which for hundreds OF
years has been used as an excuse for
prosecuting and Staying Jews.
This is victory for Bells but a
greater verdict for the Jewish race in
Russia" declared NJ Grousenburg
| leading counsel for the accused man
Bells was overcome with joy. The
| big, strong laborer, who has with
stood two years of most hideous tor
ture by the Russian police in their
efforts to force him to confess to the
ritual murder wept as he thanket
the jurors and his lawyers.
The rejoicing among the Jews here
over Bells victory was one of silence
They dared not express their joy.

sixty-mile gale which has swept the

Numerous lives are believed to have

with famine unless the streets are

suffering in many quarters has been
intense.
The warm weather of the past few

The interurban trolley lines, over
which much of the city's food is trans
