THOMPSON SPURNS WIFE
Ex- Yale Coxswain Refuses
Reconciliation Plan.

Ralph Thompson. a former tale
coxswain and son OF the late Charles
Thompson, manufacturer and bank
president OF Syracuse, refused yester-
day in the Supreme Court TO become
reconciled to his wife, Mrs. Maude +.
Thompson. who sued him for a separa-
ton. Justice Giegerich acted as media
tor. but his efforts failed. Mrs. Thomp-
son was willing, but her husband was
obdurate, so Justice Giegerich reserved
decision.
The Thompsons were married in No
vember. 1912, in New Haven, and sep
arated a year later Mrs. Thompson,
who is receiving $50 a week alimony,
said that her husband. who is living
with his mother in Schenectady, has
large income from the estate OF his
father.
According 10 the husband, he left his
wife because she insisted on living in
New York and he could not affordsto
nav the 500 a month rent for their
apartment. He said he now owed $500
rent and 81 200 for automobile bills.
besides having numerous other debts.

FRENCH,S RETIREMENT LAMENT
ED

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The re-
tirement of Representative French
from congress is a distinct loss to
the best interests of the western peo-
ple,' remarked Representative Smith
of Idaho, and this opinion is shared
by a large proportion Of the mem
bers of both branches of congress.
His long service here has given him
an insight into public affairs and leg
islative methods which can only be
acquired by actual experience. There
is probably no member of congress
who has "a wider acquaintance or
who is held in higher esteem by his
colleagues than Congressman French,
and there is certainly no member in
whom the senators and representa-
tives place more confidence and re-
lance as to the correctness of his
statements, than Mr.. French.

With a special appropriation of five

Prosecuting Attorney Frank L.
Moore will make a determined cam
paign against violators of the dry
laws in Latah county.
Mr.. Moore's petition, asking the
board for an appropriation as pro-
vided for in the Act of March, 1911
met with favorable consideration at
the session of the board which just
closed. On only one former occasion
has the provision been taken advant-
age of, when County Attorney Nisbet
had an appropriation for like pur-
pose. The Act provided that unex-
pended funds remaining from sucl,
an appropriation shall revert to the
general fund at the end of the year.
By the terms of the Act, the county
commissioners are authorized and di-
rected to set apart not less than $1O0
nor less than $1,000 to be used by the
prosecuting attorney as contingent
fund for the purpose of defraying
such necessary contingent fund for
the purpose of defraying such neces-
sary expenses as are not otherwise
provided for in the trial and prepara-
tion for trial Of criminal cases, and
in Investigations by grand jury.
In. the absence of needs for such
a fund, the commissioners have not
made appropriations in some years.

50 Delegates for
Irrigation Congress

Governor Boyle has been invited
by the officials of the International
Irrigation congress-, which holds its
twenty-second session in California
during the week beginning Septem-
Der 18th, to name fifty delegates to
represent Nevada. AS the purpose
for which the session will be held is
an important one and as considerable
study is required in the naming OF
persons to properly represent this
state, the governor, in a letter to the
Appeal, states that he will greatly
appreciate it if agriculturists or per-
son sufficiently interested in the
matter will suggest a list of names
OF persons to be appointed.
Irrigation right now in Nevada is
in the development stage, and attend
ance at the coming congress OF prop
er people may be the means OF
learning much regarding that science
and helping it along in tais state.
