Jersey City, n. j., July l7.--An agree
ment between husband and wife TO the
effect that the latter receive a weekly
wage for performing duties was held
Wednesday by an advisory master in the
chancery court in this city to be illegal.
Work performed in the home by the
wife, the opinion declared, was returned
in discharge of duty she owes her hus-
band, and could not be construed as her
sole separate account. The opinion was
handed down in case having for its
basis a mortgage claim for 1892 by
Mrs. Herman NJ. Wendt against property
owned by her husband $1,000 of which
represented a loan and the remainder
back pay for household work performed
by the wife at the rate of 50 week for
10 years. Mrs. Wendt's claim had been
filed as having precedence over another
claim on the same property held by a
mortgage company. Her claim was dis.
allowed.

right when it says that the

stitution more vigilant, pains

have its managers given to the

High rates of interest have never
tempted them to accept a weak

BIG RAILROAD FIGHT.
Western Roads Plan is Per Cent. Rate
Increase.

Washington, July l7.-Western rail-

rates, according to state railroad COM
missioner Clifford Thorne of Iowa.
Thorne is the man who in the eastern
advanced rate case represented the state
commissions of seven different states.
He was a storm center in the hearing
owing to the fact he presented compila-
tions which squarely contradicted the
assertions as TO earnings made by the
railroad officials
Mr.. Th6rne represents there was a re-
cent meeting of thirty-four railroads in
Chicago last May. As result, a move
ment was initiated for advances in west
ern territory amounting to something
like fifteen per cent The increases, IT is
declared, would amount to $l00,000,000
annually. He has sent letter to all the
western commissions and calls on them
to join in resisting the advance. Another

of the beef shortage, and win recommend

problem.
Among the reasons for the cattle

solution of the Mexican problems.
A peaceful end to the complex situa
