Of 413 West 145th street, is the
declaration of his wife, Mrs. Edna
&. O'Connell, who, in suing for q
DIVORCE asked the Appellate division
to grant her alimony pending trial Of
her action.
After Mrs. O'Connell and Mrs

Miss daisy "Mitzi" Daniels, an
actress, court awarded the plaintiff
an allowance of $40 q, week and
counsel fees Of $3.50.
Mrs Jarvis told of a conversation
i she had with the physician on
December 80 last, when he is alleged
to have admitted spending several
hundred dollars on the actress for
Christmas presents in addition to
buying her fineries. HE told me
that he had been with 'Mitzi' to the
dressnaker's getting her dress short
ened--that the dressrnaker wanted
it longer. but that he wanted it
shorter because he wanted to see
Mitzis ankles, as she had some

this mean" The actress thereupon
fed into an adjoining room. In one

they We're nine years old His mother
/ Mrs. Annie O'Connel1, vouched for

i denied there had been a discussion

| said she and her sister were together
. when the raid was made. She asserted
a hot Or ra1I
and the actress were always proper.

CHRISTIAN SCIE
LEADERS IN OF
Publishers Of Monitor
-
Prevent Interfa
oston, March 29.--The tent

Boston, March 29..-'The tenn
injunction issued on Tuesday -
stra lining the directors of the First
Church of Christ Scientist from i'm
terfering with the trustees of the
Christian Science Publishing society
in the discharge of their duties was
yesterday ordered continued pending
hearing on the merits of the case.
It is alleged in the bill that the di-
rectors of the church since the death
of Mrs. Eddy, have been gradually
endearoring to assume and exercise
powers with regard to the publishing
society which the directors never as
suned or attempted to exercise dur
ing her lifetime.
After hearing brief argument SUI
preme Court Justice H. K Braley or
dered the pleadings to be completed
on or before April 4, after which
master will be appointed by the court
to hear the facts unless counsel in
the meantime agree upon a master.
When Judge Braley inquired how
much evidence there would be in the
case Sherman L. Whipple, counsel
for the compliments, replied that in
asmuch as the respondents had not
yet filed an answer it would be diff
cult to say how many facts were in
dispute Much of the evidence to be
introduced Mr.. Whipple thought
would be docum entary. The issues
of fact would be narrow, he said, but
it was doubtful if counsel could agree
on the ia cts.
Former Gov. John L. Bates, who
represented all the respondents ex-
cept John V. Dittemore, said that the
question would narrow down to one
of 1ox
exercise of power given them and the
trust had a. right for the, best in
terests of the church to remove cer-
tain persons from their Offices as
trustees. Mr.. Bates said that he rep
resented the directors*.of a. great
church extending all oyer the world.
The respondents, who were carrying
out what they believed to be the, pur-
pose Of the founder of that church,
had been enioined. he said, without
notice.
Counsel read into the record a copy
of a telegram which he said he I'M
! derstood had been sent by the board
of trustees Of the Publishing society
to newspapers in the United States
and Canada. The message asked the
cooperation of the papers to prevent
the publication of unauthorized
statements regarding The question at
issue" and added that any desired in
formation would be furnished by the
society. Counsel asserted that this
action by the trustees was improper,
as it appeared to be an attempt to
prejudice the case in the public mind.
The court suggested that the re-
spondents might file cross bill Of in
junction if they wished.
l. Later Mr.. Whipple remarked that
the respondents had started out to
dominate the business not only Of
the church but of the publishing So
ciety connected with the church.
! Judge Braley replied that he was not
dealing with a church controversy cut
only with question of law which had
arisen as to the Interpretation of GER
tain trusts.

PROPOSE STUDY OF
STATE PAY ROLL

An investigation of the salaries of
state employees, together with the in
stitution of some system of retiring
old employees on pension, was pro-
yided in a new bill offered in the
assembly at Madison by the joint
committee on finance. The bill takes
the place of the Metcalfe measure. The
Metchalfe bill asked an investigation
while the present legislature was in
session. The new bill provides for an
interim committee of five legislators to
report to the next legislature.
Normal school teachers will get
their increase Of salary for the coming
year, according to the present indica-
tons. The finance committee recon-
mended an appropriation of $4,000 an
nually to the board Of normal III
creases and for a summer school ex-
tension course at Milwaukee. The
normal school teachers requested an
annual appropriation Of $46O for
salary purposes.
Another finance bill carries $206, 1000
annually, the amount asked Ly the
state industrial commission. A bill is
also recommended appropriating ST.
900 for the purchase of a six-y-acre
farm in connection with Tie schooi
for the deaf at Delavan.

WILL REPAIR
CREEK CULVERT

F. NJ. Balsley from the office OF the
state highway commission and the
members of the highway committee OF
Sank county have visited the damaged
culvert through which Hubert creek
flows, near Kilbourn, and it has been
decided to build a new culvert. The
water from the Wisconsin river kept
taking away the sand until the damage
was done, largely due to high water.
There is room for car to pass over
in safely and later new culvert will
be built. 1t is thought the old culvert
is large enough to build the new one
inside the one now there and in that
event it will be necessary for travel
on the Baraboo-Kilbourn road to be
diverted. The cost of making the re-
pairs is estimated at $4,000 or $1,000.
The culvert will be made much wider
than the one now in use.

PUT MAIL BOXES
RIGHT SIDE
Uncle Sam Is Making it Easier for
Rural Route Carriers to Deliver
Postal Matter

Attention Of Wisconsin post masters
has been called by the post-office de-
partment to the provision OF Section
827 of the Postal Laws and Regula-
tons, which is as follows:
Each mail box of patron on q
rural mail route shall, if practicable,
be erected on the right-hand side Of
the road regularly travelled by rural
carrier and in such position as to
be easily and safely accessible for the
delivery and collection of mail by the
carrier without leaving his convey
ance"
This is required by the post office
department when, because Of traffic
conditions, to travel from side to side
of the road would endanger the life OF
the carrier and the safety Of the mails,
or would be in violation of local ordi-
nances in respect to the use of high
ways, that all boxes be erected on the
right-hand side of the road as regular
ly travelled by the carrier.
| Postmasters are urged to cause
boxes to be placed in conformity with
this requirement, and all failures Of
patrons to make such change must be
boxes to be relocated within reason
reported to the division Of rural
mails AS the department expects
able time, it is up to rural patrons to
make the change as soon as possible.
