DOMESTIC RELATIONS COURT
ESTABLISHED IN DETROIT

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. "A do
mestic relations court, with absolute
jurisdiction in all local divorce cases
and with the full powers of circuit
court, today came into existence in
Detroit. 1t is said to be the only
court of its kind in the world. Judge
Arthur ]. Lacy, who will preside,
said today that the creation of the
new court places Detroit and Wayne
county far in advance of any other
city or county in the union in the
matter of solving vital social prob
lens.
"The new court will handle 1000
pro confesso divorce cases each year."
said Judge Lacy today, who explained
that he based his estimate upon the
work of similar nature done in other
courts of the city and which in the
future will be handled by the domes-
tic relations tribunal exclusively. The
work in connection with the new court
will probably be divided under the
following sub-heads: Divorce suits
abandonment, desertion and other fell
ony cases; cases of cruelty to wives;
applications for warrants for non
support; miscellaneous complaints
for contributing to child delinquency,
cruelty to children, violations of
compulsory education law and other
minor complaints.
Judge Lacy's court was created by
special enactment of the last Michi-
gan legislature and Lacy is an ap-
pointee of Governor Ferris. The
court is empowered to appoint its
own salaried special investigators,
who will conduct independent inquir
les into the merits of each case be-
fore the court.

WORLDS ZIONIST CONGRESS-
CONVENES In VIENNA

VIENNA, Sept. lon the Pales-
tine" was the keynote of the worlds
Zionist congress which convened here
today. Professor Warburg, of the
University Of Berlin, presided. About
500 delegates representing twenty
five countries, are in attendance. The
United States and Canada are repre-
scnted by more than fifty delegates
II was expected that the old fight
between the two factions in the Zion
ist movement-the practical and the
political Zionists-w would break out
again upon the adoption of the report
of the actions committee, as the ex-
ecutive committee is known. The
dream of the practicals, who are in
control of the congress, is the coloni-
zaoion of Palestine by the Jews as
q nucleus for the ultimate formation
and organization of an autonomous
If not an independent Jewish staea.
The politicals, on the other hand
headed by DR.. Max Nordeau, of Paris,
oppose this idea as visionary and fan
tastic and stand rather for the uni
fled and concreated action on the part
of Zionists to secure safeguards and
equal privileges and opportunities for
the Jews in countries where they are
still more or less oppressed.
The report of the actions committee
en- the Palestine movement together
With the fact that the majority of the
delegates are from Russia and Rou-
mania, who see little hope of any
thing being achieved in those coun-
tries by the politicals, it was believed
will further strengthen the hold of
the precticals on the congress.
The Jewish Colonial Trust company,
the financial instrument of the Zion
ist movement, with headquarters in
London, has capital of $1O,0O0,O0O
of which $1,350,000 has been paid in
There are 10000 shareholders all
over the world A second financial
organization is the Jewish National
fund, started nine years ago to col
lect money for the purchase of land
in Palestine. Up to the present $780,
900, mostly in small sums from pen
nies to dimes, has been collected 1t
is hoped that a new record will be
established this year by the cellect-
ion of $250,000 for this fund. Amer
lea last year subscribed $1,000 in
cash.
Aside from these two funds and
number of smaller organizations
working toward the same goal, there
are colonization organizations formed
by Baron Rothschild and Baron
Hirsch, of Paris, whose holdings in
Palestine are said to be valued at
many millions of dollars.

CORPORATIONS ASSISTING IN
SETTLEMENT OF THE WEST

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 1.-The set
tlement of the west by attracting
settlers from the east is receiving at
tention from the men who are officers
of the large corporations, the growth
of whose business depends on the
presence of population. One of the
foremost of these western men who
advocate strongly the united efforts
of western people for the acquisition
of settlers for their vacant lands is
E. b. Field, Jr., vice president and
Treasurer of the Mountain States Tel
ephonc and Telegraph company. Mr.
Field has urged for several years that
the work of securing settlers for the
now lands of the west be carried on
by united effort of the states in
which there is the greatest need for
development. The company of which
he is the head, has 600 exchanges and
5000 employees scattered over seven
states and Mr.. Field has made a care
full study of the conditions which ex-
list in each of the localities from which
his company secures business.
There has been great deal of
wasted effort in attracting immigra-
tion to the west" said Mr.. Field.
There has been needless dupli-
cation of effort on the part of the
states interested. For example the
seven states in which this company
operates, namely, Montana, Wyoming,
Utah, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico
and Arizona have been for the past
ten or dozen years trying to at
tract settlers, each state duplicating
the work of the other and, at times,
competing. My plan has been to in
duce the states to cease competitive
advertising and immigration work and
act together. The appeal to the men
in the crowded sections Of the east
should be to come west'-not to any
particular section Of the west. II the

SPOONERY"
OPEN FOR BUSINESS

DENVER, Sept. 2.-The first "Mu-
nicipal Spoonery" in the country is
open for business today.
That is the name the youth of the
city have already given to the Neigh
borhood House established by the city
park board in connection with the
municipal Fairgrounds at Elyria, a
Denver suburb. Hereafter, under
municipal regulations, young lovers
may bill and COO to their hearts con-
tent.
The official "spoonstress' will be
Mrs. J. M. Disley, matron of the
Neighborhood House. She will act as
official chaperon, official advisor and
first aid to cupid for the young wo-
men who frequent the house. A mere
man, who has not yet been selected,
will be on hand later to advise the
youthful swains.
Each week during the winter the
Elyria Taxpayers Improvement asso-
citation will give dance for the bene-
fit of the young men of the neigh
borhood and to further the good
cause. Each week the Neighborhood
Mothers club will transform the
neighborhood house into a cupid's
bower for the edification of the young
girls.
This is the principal business of
the new neighborhood- provide a
respectable place where the young
folk may gather in the evenings and
be under proper chaperonage. But
it is not the only business. During
the winter, night classes in sewing,
domestic science and manual train
ing will be established.
The work being done here is more
or less of an experiment and as such
is being closely watched. If the plan
succeeds it is expected that a simi-
lar neighborhood house will be es-
tablished by the park board in other
sections of the city.

CARRYING 3,127 .OOO, 900
PASSENGERS A YEAR

The board of trade statictics show
that during the year 1912 the trolley
lines of Great Britain carried over
three billion passengers. Figures such
as this give an impressive sense of the
magnitude of modern railway facil-
tiles, and the statistics are the more
remarkable when we remember that
this traffic was carried on 2,642 miles
of track and in less than $4,000 cars.
Significant, also, is the fact that
whereas in 1900 there were $4,000
horses employed in hauling street cars
in 1912 there were only 1900.

states of the west would unite in
their immigration work thre effici-
ency would be increased a hundred
fold. find that in the operation
of the telephone company we succeed
best when we disregard actual state
lines. We operate the system in
seven states the same as if it were
one big state comprising the entire
west and in this way we prevent need
less duplication. There are other
problems besides that of immigration
and development with which the var
ious mountain states have to deal.
There is the matter of dealing with
the good roads and reclamation prob
lens. Also the national forests and
their relation to the various states
have an important place in the affairs
of the west. By cooperation among
the states and united effort to set
tie their problems immense benefit
would result"
The plan advocated by Mr.. Field
has attracted the attention of the rep
resentatiyes in congress from the
western states and he has been ask
cd to go to Washington to lay his
plans before the delegations in con-
gress from the states of the west. One
Of the most important matters now
occupying the attention of congress is
the apportionment of the reclamation
funds for the west. Upon this SUBJ
ject Mr.. Field has some excellent
ideas owing to his long and intimate
knowledge of the states in which his
company operates.
