A Noteworthy Divorce Law Decision

- SiNptSS I'D" SSS'S'S'
In Illinois as in Wisconsin the re
marriage of a divorced person within
one year of the granting of the dvorc'

ton is obviously to discourage divorce

of laws bearing upon the subject o
divorce and marriage, residents
States in which obstacles of this sor
have been placed upon the statut'
books frequently adopt the expedien
of hurrying after the sundering of irk
some bonds, to the jurisdiction of
State which places no time limit OF
remarriage after divorce and there ce

been numerous instances in which
this expedient has been suffered

own States.
But the Supreme Court of Illinois
in decision, has set it's foot upon tn
practice. The case was that of on

ssooooo NOW DUE rHAw,

New York, Aug. 19.-Harry X.
Thaw. slayer of Stanford White. who
escaped from Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane, is expected to
appear in Pittsburg today. BY arriv-
ing before the hour for closing the
banks he may be able to obtain for
himself nearly 100000, one of the be-
quests in his fathers will. II he is
not there to make demand in person
the sum will be continued in the
trust of bank and placed beyond his
control. Roger O'Mara, who has been
in the employ Of the Thaw family as
detective and confidential adviser for
many years, said in Pittsburg that he
expected to see Harry there at the
appointed time.
The disposltio.. of this large sum
Of money Is looked upon as the chief

sured by lawyers that it will be safe
for him to appear in Pittsburg and
