daughter-in-law of Nine. Helene
Modjeska, famous actress, yesterday
filed bill for separate maintenance
against her husband, Ralph Mod
jeska, civil engineer, and declared

offered her $50, 1000 and later $4,000
if she would permit him to obtain
divorce quietly. She asserted that her
husband has property valued at more
than 5000, 900 and an income of $25,-
900 yearly, but that in May of this
year he cut her monthly allowance
from $500 to $3.50, which, she asserts,
is inadequate.

SON MAKES sTRoNG sPEEcH

WILSON MAKES STRONG SPEECH
Washington, June 16.-President
Wilson, in Flag Day address before
employees of state, war and navy de-
partments, made sensational attack
upon those who, he said, use the
American flag to infiame prejudice.
"This nation" the president said,
sis too great to be feared by any
other, but it is not too great to do
right. 1t would be pitiful thing to
make apology and explain anything
which we did with that flag carried
in the van.
mo nation is ever going to doubt
our power to assert our rights, but we
must put that knowledge only to the
highest uses. This nation stands for
sef-possession and the dignified as
sertion of the right of one nation to
serve the other nations of the world.
The American flag must not conde-
scend to be used for aggression or for
self aggrandizement, and we must
see that it is not. -.
81 sometimes wonder why men
even now take the flag and flaunt it.
If l am respected 1 don't~have to de-
mand respect. If am feared 1 don't
have to demand fear. If have power
l don't have to demand power. And 1
don't understand and the nation
doesn't understand the temper of
men who use this flag bostfully."

bCring semblances of manhood, pris- oners, both criminal and political off, lenders robbed of their reason by years Of living death
 San Juan de Ulua was perhaps the most hideous place in the world. When the American authorities eu- tered its walls there were found Dlty whips, rawhide thongs braided and knotted still wet with human blood. Everywhere were evidences Of inc human torture and cruelty. Every where was the eloquent explanation why Mexicans condemned to the pus- on pleaded for death.
 One of the first acts of the Amer ican military government was to clean out this prison. The slime and filth were added the horrors of dis ease. But such prisoners as were able to work were set to the task of restoring some semblance of sanitary order
 Whether a new regime in Mexico will undo the sanitary work begun here by the Americans lies with the future. But Vera Cruz and It's people have had a lesson iu humanity By every one it is admitted that never befero has the city been SO quiet and orderly.
 With all this sanitary work the health of the American marines and soldiers remains good. Prices of food stuns have become eXorbitant and the silver coinage has almost van lshed

VERA CRUZ, May l2.-( (specialJ Scenes that are daily enacted in the United States food supply station here show the darker side of war After the taking of Vera Cruz by American marines and buejackets, it was discovered that scores of women and children who were left widows and orphans through the cap ture of the city were in destitute cir cumstauces So it was determined to feed the unfortunate ones, and a food supply station was set up for their accommodation. Here women and children come daily to have their wants supplied free by Uncle Sam.
 If the occupation Of Vera Cruz by American arms has done nothing else, it has at least given the people of this city lesson in civilization and humanity. Underneath thin veneer Of civilization the American invaders found a barbarity and cruel ty in government that savored of the dark ages.

 A bloody sardine box, empty of its contents. a cartridge box from which the bottom was gone, and which has not been found, an empty shell thrown from the gun and lying near it, the gun with one empty shell contained, a wiping stick and wiping cloth nearby, 15 cents in change and a cigar that had been two-thirds smoked, with half a dozen pools of blood were found on the ground The marshal extracted from the mans pockets letters and cards which identified him. a memorandum book and $40 in bills. beside a small amount of silver These he took away when he went to notify the coroner, leaving Brooks and McAllis- ter with the body McAllister searched about the vicinity of the body but found nothing more, nor no tracks that he could identify ex- cept those of Harrell. who appeared to have walked down the ridge of the mountain to the point of his death, alone. He wore a small shoe, a six, and It's imprint was plainly dlstinguishable at a number of points in loose ground.
 All of this was brought to the attention of the Jury upon It's arrival with the coroner, together with the additional fact that tho lead mans hat was there and that it had evil dently pillowed his head for a time, for it contained blood. The cursory examination that was then possible resulted in the unofficial report upon return to the city that death hPd leen due to a rifle bullet wound which had entered at the bridge of the nose and came out of the drum of the left ear.
 Subsequently pr. Hawley made an examination of the dead man, ulti- mately removing a portion of the skull and determining minutely the course and effect of the bullets. He found that there had been two shots fired, one of which had passed back from the nose to a bone which had denected it at right angles and that it had passed out of the ear The other bullet. entering the nostril, had shattered and fallen into small par. ticles, none larger than a grain of wheat The bone it struck was di- rectly back. The tissue about the bone had been shredded and the bone somewhat shattered
 Either of these shots, the doctor found. while not touching the brain would have been sufficient to have brought immediate unconsciousness although not eliminating power oi Writhing or muscular movement, and either would have proven fatal On the face of the dead man was no sign of powder burn, and although the powder used may have been semi-smokeless. the man himself could not have held Che gun at a sufficient distance to prevent powder mark Ills hat the doctor further found. contained a bullet hole, but nc scorch nor powder mark.
