DR.. w. r. West
DR. w. +. West of Belfast, repre-
senting the State Board of Trade, APP
peared to argue for the bill. He said
he had seen the slaughter houses all
over the State and WAS sure that there
was need of such a law as this. He de-
MED that this bill was intended to
create a Veterinaries' trust and to take
money from the farmers. Cities would

less they wanted to; they had the right
to remodel any existing ones to make
them sanitary il it We're found neces-
sary n city needed not own one eth
er; Il might simply designate place
to BE- known as a public abattoir,
though such Il place was privately
owned.
A picture of slaughter houses as he
has found them was given by DIR. West.
He said they were filthy. that they
We're never cleaned, that the butchers
never washed and that pigs We're kept

West said that farmer could save

When DR.. West had concluded his
explanation of the bill he was taken in

Portland and Rep. Z. H. Cook of Vas

of Mr.. Dorsey, stated that stand pipes
would not be required in present hotels
When the measure was drafted il had
been found that some OF the mountain
houses wanted to use pufls, SO tire pro-
vision had been inserted. As to names,
a lodging house could use any term It de-
sired so long as it was not called hotel
or inn.
Mr. Dorsey insisted that the name hotel
should not be disturbed. There are many
small houses that have been run for years
and years as hotels and have been handed
down from father to son and he did not
think it just to this class to make them
take some new name.
MIR. Emerson thought that the name
classification would prevent strangers In
the State from being deceived. AS It is
now there is no way for ore not familiar
with the State to determine the quality
from advertisements or other public an
nouncements. He did not believe there is
one hotel man in 10 who favors tipping.
but it is not up to them to abolish the
practice. The public must do that and
the most effectual way is by passing q
law forbidding it.
Mr.. Dorsey replied that there are many
hotels In the State as good as any in the
world, and he had seen many on both
sides of the water. The State is being
injured by statements that its hotels are
bad and that a law is needed to make
them be decent.
Loring E. kimball of Northwest Harbor,
proprietor of the Kimball House at that
place, wanted some definition of the word
puff as mentioned In the bill. The
committee voted to take the matter I'M
der consideration
Mark 5. Collins, proprietor of the Ma
ranaeook Hotel at Lake Maranacook, ask
ed the committee what he should do il
his house was crowded to conform with
| the law under the provisions of this bill.
He stated that very often in the summer
time his hotel was crowded and he WAS
Obliged to find accommodations elsewhere
for from 10 to % people. He did not
think that summer hotels should be as
deliberately equipped as the big hotels in
| the cities which are run all the year.
| Mr. Collins was assured by Attorney
| Beedy that there was a provision in tho
bill which provides that cots may be used
in the case of an emergency, but that
the exits in case of fire should always
be clear.

lie considered the furnishing of can
dies TO he a very important feature as
these were needed not Fonly in case of
fire hut whom lighting systems are
crippled by accidents as may happen
any time.
Mr.. Emerson declared the bill to be
in line with the good road work. The
state is catering to tourists and good
hotels are just as important as good
roads He believed that the bill would
be seif-supporting and probably fur
nish a surplus which could be used for

Maine hotels
This concluded the case for the propon-
ents and when Chairman Moulton asked
for opinions of those opposed, p. S Dor
sey. proprietor of the Hotel North of Au-
gusta, took the floor.
p. S. Dorsey.
Mr. Dorsey stated that he favored
many of the features of the bill but he
believed it would work It needless hard
ship on many of the smaller hotels. He
objected to the stand pipe requirement,
because in many places the water pres
sure is not sufficient to force water to the
top floor of the houses. He also objected
to down puffs as they would be much
harder to keep clean than blankets.
Mr.. Dorsey also objected to the class
iheation of names provided by the bill.
There are many hotels in the state as
good as any in the world with long estab-
lished regulations and they wanted to
keep their old names. He did not think it
fair to force many lodging houses to take
the name of roomug houses as the lat
ter term has come to have a meaning

believe it would be far better to pay the
hotel help enough so that they will not
have to depend on tips for their living
There is no question in my mind that be

will pass laws forbidding this practice,

of this bill"

DIVORCES INVALID
New York Will Not Recognize
Divorces Secured in
South Dakota

Sioux Falls, Sept. 25.-South Da.
kota attorneys and laymen as well are
interested in a recent case before the
appellate division of the supreme court
of New York, In which it is held
tina. a South Dakota divorce is of nc
validity for any purpose in New
York. During the past ten or fifteen
years many divorces have been issued
in this state and a large percentage OF
them to people from the state Of New
York. The Sioux Falls divorce colony,
undoubtedly the largest in the state,
was made up very largely of eastern
people. and a surprising number from
New York city and state visited that
town, established q residence and de.
parted a short time after the sir
months were up, carrying with them
the-'necesary paper" What this
will mean to South Dakota's many di-
vorce and Divorces is difficult to say,
but it looks as though some of them
should worry.
The case in question is that of Ber-
ney vs. Adriance, 412 New York
supplement-, 74S. and an account CT
it Is given in the Northwestern Re-
porter of September 10. The plaintiff
and his wife were married in Pennsyl.
vania in 1888, moving from there to
New York. In 1902, it is reported,
the plaintiff voluntarily abandoned
his wife and two children, not con.
tributing to their support or attempt
ing to bring about a reconciliation.
Later the wife removed to South
Dakota, where she began divorce
proceedings for an absolute decree on
the grounds of desertion. and upon
substituted service (no personal ser
vice being made on her husband
within that jurisdiction) she secured
such decree. the husband not appear
ing. She soon left for New York,
going from there to New Jersey,
where she was married to the defend.
ant in the action named above. She
and her husband afterwards removed
to New York to reside, and her first
husband brought an action against
her second husband for criminal con.
versstion, a verdict for the plaintiff
being returned in the sum of g., 500
damages.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court, appellate division. The North
western Reporter says of the verdict:
The court holds that defendants
marriage to plaintiffs wife is no de-
Tense, since the South Dakota divorce
is of no validity for any purpose in
New York, and this, wen though the
courts of New Jersey might recognize
the decree as binding upon a citizen
of that state under the circumstances
of this case. As TO the damages, the
court holds that the verdict is exces-
