COMPLIMENTS
Republican Speaker Asks Dem
Ocratic Minority Leader to
Assist In Making Com
mittee

Waterbury, Jan. 11.-In an attempt
to break the deadlock now on between
the Senate and the House over the
adoption of the joint rules which the
Democrats in the Senate refuse to ac-
cept because it gives them only a small
representation on the committees,
Morris C. Webster, Republican Speak
er of the House, sent to William E.
Thoms, of this city, democratic lead
er of the House, a message asking him
for suggestions as to committee ap-
pointm erts from the Democratic side
of the House. He made the request,
he said, because among other things
he was desirous of establishing condi-
tions under which the work of the
House would be carried on harmon
iousIy.
Mr. Thoms, today, made the fol-
lowing reply:
''I am in receipt of your telegram
advising me that you would be pleased
appointments from the Democratic
side of the House. I would say that
I appreciate your courtesy in the mat
ter and after the Senate and House
have agreed upon the number and
constitution of the various committees
SO we can take up the matter inte1li-
gently I will, if you wish it, be glad
to counsel and advise with you con-
cerning this matter and all other mat
ters which will tend to a harmonious
working of all parties and elements of
this general assembly.

Big TIM SULLIVAN
SUFFERING FROM
MALADY OF BRAIN
BOwery Leader In Politics Inmate
of DIR. Bonds Sanitarium With
What Is Regarded as Incurable
Disease

New York, Jan. IA pail of sad
ness lowered upon the Bowery dis
trict, today, when it became known
that Timothy D. Sullivan. affection
ate1y titled by the many thousands in
that po1ygot population as Big Tim
had entered finally upon a living
death in g sanitariun. Swiftly the
word passed through the Swarming
tenements. In whatever language 1t
WAS -spoken-a1ad the former cohorts
of Big Tim use the speech of al
most every nation on the globe-the
same sense of intimate loss was
sounded from the harsh gutturals of
the Slavs to the soft vowels of the
Latin.
The same feeling of deep sorrow
perVaded the quarters of the National
Democratic Club and Tammany hall,
from Chieftain Charles F. Murphy to
heeler in the ranks of the Democracy.
When the Big fellow became a vol
untary inmate of Dr. Bonds San1tari-
um at Yonkers, months ago, TT was
of personal friends on the lower east
side that the fighting stuff in his
makeup would be able to avert the ap-
preaching nalady alta c4Eing his brain.
With yesterdays application to the
supreme court by big Tins family
for an order committing the old time
leader permanently to the care of the
sanitarium all hope of Su1hvans re-
covery was abandoned and, today, it
is known that his beloved east side
will see him no more in life.
The same malady that brought the
death of Little Tim Sullivan, the
big feIlow's' nephew and most low
ed companion, has taken unshaka.b1e
grip on this most picturesque and
powerful figure in the modern de-
velopment of city politics. Physically
he is reported to be the same ruddy
giant that used to tower among his
people on the east side, distributing g
words of guidance and comfort and
doing the thousand and one little acts
of charity that were responsible for
so much of the adulation with which
he was regarded in his district. How
long it will be before the disease fin
ishes it's work cannot be told It may
be a month, it may take years.
Governor Sulzer, in due time, will
direct a special election for Repre-
sentative to succeed Sullivan.

COURT RULES
AGAINST MRS.
CUCCENHEIM
Judge Heard Refuses to Set
Aside Divorce Decree
From Millionaire
His Honor Intimates That
She Was Voluntary Party
to Fraud Practiced

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Mrs. Grace Gug-
genheim Wahl, today, lost her suit to
have set aside her divorce decree from
William Guggenheirn, New York mil
1ionaire. The decision was handed
down by Judge Heard, of the circuit
court
The courts decision said that while
there was no doubt fraud had been
practiced on the court that granted
the decree, Mrs Guggenheim could
not ask a court order setting aside a
fraud to which she had been a volun-
tary party.
The decision marks the end of three
years of litigation on the sensational
suit brought by Mrs GuggenheiIn
Wahl when she returned from Europe
in 1903. She disclosed then that she
had falsely represented herself a resi-
dent of Chicago when she obtained
her decree at the hands of Judge Ed
ward F. Dunno, now governor-eIect OF
Illinois.
Continued postponements and con-
sultations looking to a settlement have
prolonged the proceedings for three
years.
A statement, charging that Mrs.
Guggenh eim's suit was the result of a
plot of Wall street fnanciers to dis
the decision had been read by Jacob
NeWm an, associated with Samuel I'm
termyer as Guggenheim's counsel
I'VE suspect that it is a Wall street
syndicate because wahl had some pri-
vate grudge to satisfy as well an the
hope to obtain a considerable part of
the Guggenhein fortune" said New
man.
Mrs wahl, then Grace Brown, and
Guggenh elm eloped and were secretly
married in HOboken in 1899 They
lived together only thre days. 1t was
said the relatives of young Guggen-
helm interfered to bring about the
separation. In 1901, Mrs. Guggenhein
came to Chicago and obtained a di-
vorce. She charged that Guggen-
helm s attorneys induced her to get a
divorce in Chicago and to swear that
she was a resident of Illinois.
After she obtained her decree with
a financial settlement Mrs. Guggen-
helm married Wahl, being divorced
later. The recent hearings, which
dtsc1oEad-he here two weeks ago, were full
of sensations Samuel Dntermyer, the
New York attorney who cross exanin-
ed J. Pierpont Morgan before the
money trust committee in Washing
ton, conducted the case for Gusgen-
helm and also went on the stand a
witness after Mrs. Guggenheim Wahl
the attorneys who attended the con-
ference at which she was induced to
get her. decree.
JTntermyer's testimony fatty con-
tradicted that of the complainant,
particularly as the sum of money she
demanded from the Guggenheim
family.
The history of the case was review
ed by Attorney Newman. this after
noon.
Mrs wahl was very beautiful
woman and she and young Guggen-
helm became close companions he
said. FINALLY, they secretly went to
HQpoken and were married They
lived together three dayn at the Man
haitian Hotel. Then the Guggenheina
family disc covered what he had done.
She came to Chicago to secure a di-
vorce, representing herself a citizen of
Illinois, swore to the fact in court and
was granted a divorce from William
Guggenheim on statutory grounds

he never wore q silk hat except when
it was unavoidable as he dislikes it
