Maryland Divorce
Discredited By Judge

That Jesse Lee Havens, proprietor Of
cafe at 1905 New York avenue, who,
in answer TO his wifes suit for divorce,
filed a plea that he had been divorced
from her by the Maryland courts, i'm
posed upon those courts when he led
them to believe he was a resident of
Maryland, was the declaration made by
Judge Barnard in the District Supreme
Court today. The court declined to give
credit to the Maryland DECREE Havens
declares to have received.
Pointing out that Havens was not ac-
tually a resident of Maryland merely
because he slept in a Maryland suburb.
at the home of a friend, while he lived
the rest of the time in Washington,
Judge Barnard declared that the de-
fendant in the divorce suit instituted by
his wife had imposed on the State court
by leading IT to believe he was a native
of Maryland.
The court ordered Havens to pay his
wife Sc a week alinony and also i'm
posed on him the duty Of paying counsel
fees of the suit.

MONOPOLY QUESTION
BOTHERS DEMOCRATS
Badgered BY Minority Leaders
to Put Trust Products on
Tariff Free List.

What to do about duties on products
controlled by monopolies is giving the
Democrats In the Senate lot of worry
Republicans are putting II up to them
to put such products on the free list,
| and in this some of the Democratic
! Senators coincide. The leaders see the
embarrassing position in which they
| are placed. but thus far have done
| nothing to get out of It.
Senator Kenyon recently assailed the
Aluminium trust and asked what was
| the reason for putting duties on pro-
ducts controlled by a monopoly. Sew
| eral Democrats took the same position
as he and threatened to vote for his
amendment to free list aluminium and
it's products.
Thereupon Senate Democratic leaders
hurried around to the recalcitrant Dem
ocratic Senators and urged them not
to vote for the Kenyon amendment
!, 1T will defeat our BILL" said the
leaders.
Fear Lesson of Revolt.
Just why it would defeat the bill was
not explained, and the only explanation
offered Is that if the Democratic Sena-
tors once break away from the ties of
the caucus. they will not allow them
selves again to be bound. The spirit
of revolt against the domination of the
caucus ard the White House is growing
among Democratic Senators
Indications now are that the Senate
Democrats will go ahead shielding the
Aluminium trust.
Another phase of the trust question
was raised by Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, Democrat He declared the
Tobacco trust had increased its monopo-
listic control since the Supreme Court
decision. He said he would press his
anendment Tor a graduated tax on to-
bacco manufactures.
Senator Hitchcock recently bolted the
caucus and said he intended to discuss
the propriety of the caucus regime in
restraining its members from supporting
his amendment. He said four tobacco
concerns, "owner by the same stockhold-
ers," manufactured last year II 3-5 per
cent Of all tobacco manufactured in this
country.
Schedules Pushed Through.
The tobacco schedule was approved
by the Senate without amendment The
metal schedule was completed except
a few paragraphs and the sugar sched-
ule was passed over because of the ILL
ness of Senator Ransdell OF Louisiana.
schedule was opened yesterday after
noon.
Various amendments proposed by Re-
publican Senators from the agricultural
States were rejected. Senator Nelson
made a vigorous speech in which he as
sailed the determinations against the
farmers of the Northwest.

OIL MILLIONS IN
HOOkWORM WAR
World Wide Campaign To Be
Waged for Eradication of
Infection.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A world
wide campaign for the eradication of
the "hookworm" will be one of the first
uses to which the 100000 900 endow-
ment Of the proposed Rockefeller foun-
dation will be applied as soon as it re-
ceives its charter from congress, ac-
cording to Jerome D. Greene of New
York, a trustee in several of John D.
Rockefelers philanthropies, who is
here urging the passage of the enabling
act.
The house will vote today on the
measure calling into existence the or
ganization, which. under the control of
congress. would be authorized to spend
Mr.. Rockefeller's millions for the ad-
vancement of civilization by every hui
manitarian means.
Mr.. Greene expressed the belief that
the men who are to form the founda-
ton board regard the proposed fight
against the hookworm as Of pressing
Importance.
To wipe out the hookworm,' said
Mr.. Greene, sit will be necessary not
only to cure the present sufferers, but
also to inculcate and diffuse such
knowledge of the laws of hygiene and
sanitation as gradually will make rein
fectlon impossible. But when that is
done in this country the work will be
only partially accomplished; for, unless
the hookworm can be eradicated from
those points in foreign lands which
now, through ordinary channels of
commerce, are constantly distributing
infection all over the world, the hook
worm Is bound to reappear again and
again. Therefore, the campaign must
be world wide"
The campaign against hookworm has
hitherto been carried on in this coun-
try alone by the sanitary commission.
operating on fund of $1,000,000 given
by Mr. Rockefeller. The commission.
Mr.. Greene says, is now approaching
the end of its resources.
"Manifesty," he declared. these can
not be replenished by the Rockefeller
foundation, unless that foundation is
brought into existence, and as the work
has hitherto been entirely dependent
upon Mr.. Rockefeller for financial aid,
there may be danger that it's activities
VIII be greatly curtailed or even stopped
altogether, unless the pending bill be-
comes a law"

LAW ON |NQUESTS
HIT BY CORONER
DOnehoo Declares He Couldn't
Probe Staying of Negro by
Policeman Properly.

County Coroner Paul Donehoo. in
discussing the indictment of Policeman
w. c. Folds for the Staying of a negro.
declared today that the state law gov
erning the coroner's office was faulty in
many respects
Donehoo's criticism Of the law came
when he sought to correct the impress
sion that had gone abroad that Folds
had been eXonerated by a coroner's
jury
"As a matter of fact" said the coro-
ner, "the law does not permit me to
hold an inquest in any case of homicide
where there are eyewitnesses. 1t is
this feature of the law that should be
altered at once.
Il believe the law should require a
coroner's investigation of every killing,
accidental or otherwise.
Such an investigation should have
been made in the case Of the killing of
the negro Daniels, but | had no power
to call an inquest when there were six
or seven eyeWitnesses of the shooting"
The coroner explained that he made
a preliminary investigation of the af-
fair and found the stories of the eve
witnesses and the story of the police
man did not coincide.
while | had no official power TO call
an inquest, | felt it my duty to put the
information | had received from two
eyewitnesses before the solicitor was
satisfied from my preliminary investi-
CATION that complete probe should no
undertaken continued Mr.. Donehoo.
Folds, who was indicted by the grand
jury late Friday afternoon and arrested
Saturday on bench warrant, is held in
the Tower today awaiting the Judgment
OF superior court on the subject Of bail.
Solicitor Dorsey is authority for the
statement that the officer would not be
admitted to bail without a formal
showing before a superior court Judge.
