SUPPORT'HUSBAND NO. 2
BY Norman.
New York, Sept. 25.-When Hus-
band No. 1 has plenty of the stuff
that made Rockefeller famous, while
Husband No. 2 has to keep mailing
chunks of tin on the door, where the
wolf has almost chawed it through,
should No. 1 keep on coming across
with the alimony, so that wiley may
still have the little comforts that No.
1 used to provide, but which No. 2
cannot afford?
That was the question.
Charles ]. Gebest, Husband No. 1,
composer and musical director, said:
No! Not by darn sight," He said
it good and loud, too.
Mrs. Russ B. Walworth, formerly
Mrs. Gebest, said: why, of course,
he ought to-
Mr.. Russ B. Walworth said: 'Sure.
Why not?"
Then it was up to Supreme Court
Justice Whitaker to say something.
He said Gebest need not pay any
more alimony to Mrs. Walworth.
AS a result of which there is dis
satisfaction in the Walworth house
hold.
According to an affidavit filed by
Walworth in support of his wife's
contention that he didn't earn enough
for them to live on. His salary as a
tobacco salesman is SIS week. &C.
best, who wrote the music of "The
Red Widow" and has turned out a
good deal of popular melody, is al
legged by his former wife to have an
income of more than ten times that
amount.
She declares Gebest had promised
to pay her $40 week so long as she
lived, irrespective of whether she re-
married or not.
To which Mr.. Gebest vigorously
and tersely replied that he never

MYSTERY IN THE FINDING OF
YOUNG MANS BODY

The finding of the body of Edward
Erickson, "a, 1917 Wellington street,
after night of revelry at his home,
is puzzling the police of the North
Side today.
The youth was found lying across
the bed with his throat slashed. A
pen knife was on the floor.
Several young guests had attended
a surprise party given by his sisters,
Agnes and Ruth.
DR.. A. E. Doe, who was called to
the house, does not believe the wound
was self-inf1icted.

CAN RIDE ON PULLMAN CARS.
State Law Doesn't Apply to Negro in
Interstate Traffic.
(The State, May 20.)

Attorney General Peoples yester-
day gave the opinion that there is no
State law to prevent negroes riding
on Pullmans on Interstate Journeys.
The opinion was given in reply to a
letter from John G. Richards, Jr..
chairman of the Railroad Commits
sion, in which IT. was asked that an
investigation be made of a negro
occupying berth of Pullman on
the Southern's early morning train
from the North.
The letter Of the Attorney General
to Chairman Richards follows:
Il am In receipt of yours Of the
14th instant in reference. to a negro
riding In Pullman car on the 14th
day OF May on Southern train No.
81, which runs from WASHINGTON to
Jacksonville. / note that you saw
that this negro had secured his
ticket and berth in the city OF Wash
ington and that his destination was
Savannah, Ga. In reply thereto
beg to say that being a native South
Carolinian and believing in the sep
aration of the races and holding the
personal opinion that / do in regard
to same, | would be very glad indeed
TO be able to give you an opinion
that the Pullman Company could not
allow members of the negro race TO
be passengers In their cars within
the borders of South Carolina. This,
however, Is matter absolutely be-
yond the control of the General AS
sembly OF this State when 1T comes
to Interstate traveI, and therefore
Is absolutely beyond the control of
the courts or executive department
Of this State.
I'VE have no remedy at law in a
case such as you mention, unless 1t
should be perhaps personal rem
edy, to which, of course, as Attorney
General, l cannot advise you or any
other man to resort
There Is no law upon our stat
ute books which would reach such
conditions as you set out in your let
ter, and If there were it would be
imperative on account of the fact
that 1t would be in violation Of the
Federal constitution, which gives to
the American Congress the sole right
to regulate commerce between the
States.
II would respectfully suggest that
you take the matter up with the Uni
ted States Senators and Congress-
men from this State and request
them to do that which they should
have done long ago-make some en-
deavor and try to get through some
Federal statute similar to our State
statute providing for separate ac-
commodation for the different races
upon Pullman cars and all inter-
State trains, or at least ask them to
attempt to get bill passed similar
in some respects to what Is common
ly known as the Webb act, which ap-
plies to shipments of liquor, leaving
to the respective States the right to
regulate the carrying and transpor-
tation of Interstate passengers in
this particular, as is done as to the
regulation Of shipments Of liquor"

Johnson Signs Alien Land Bill.

Sacramento, Cal, May 19.--Cali-
fornia's alien land bill became the
law Of the State to-day against pro-
tests Of Japan and represen Cations
of President Wilson and his personal
envoy, Secretary OF State Bryan
Governor Johnson signed the bill,
and 80 days after the adjournment
of the Legislature, or on August 49,,
the act becomes operative.
While the Governor was signing
the bill the steamship Korea was
passing In through the Golden Gate,
bearing two distinguished Japanese,
one former pupil OF President Will
son, on q mission OF Investigation.
Within California the act has en-
countered triple hostility, which may
delay It's operation until November
/, 1914. Democrats opposed State
legislation at this time as a matter
of party regularity. Nevertheless
SO plain to them seems to be the de-
mand for the bill that, after exhaust
ing all parliamentary tactics. the
Senate gave only one adverse Demo-
cratic vote and the Assembly only
Two.

ship Is not we'll founded, according
to an analysis of the Japanese-Amer-

Artesion Well Proposition
Looks Favorable Says

favorably of the artesian we'll PROPOSE
tion in the northern part of the couu-

looks possible in any part of that
country. The country is so formed
that the one or two large valleys
which cut through it would not nee
essarily hindsr the water from being
found in one locality more than any
other.

proposition of sinking an artesian we'll
in that section has extended the time
until the middle of July His PROPOSE

of $40, 900 which will be payable in
the land in that locality that has a
present vauation of slO per acre.
