Captain Allen wrote to friends in
st. John Immediately after his wife
deserted him. endeavoring to learn
something of her whereabouts. 1t was
stated. She was q native of Canada,
her husband said, and often expressed
the desire to return to the wilds of
the FAR North, giving as her reason
that the laws there did not watch peo-
pie so closely in their daily conduct.
MISCONDUCT ALLEGED.
The pleadings filed in the case al
legged misconduct. and although the
wife was personally served with
process, she did not offer any evidence
in her own behalf. Baulier, the
French-Canadian woodsman and trap
per, could not be found by the process
servers and the action, was allowed
to go by default as to him.
Captain Allen served with dist:nc-
-.
army while in France and returned
to this country in 1919. The action
against his wife was then pending,
but it was not until this year that his
informants were able to get certain
evidence which was necessary to sup
port the allegations in the husband 4

NEW TARIFF
TOBE RUSHED
G. o. P. Sees Defeat Unless
Emergency Measure Is
Quickly Passed.
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
Infernatfslsl News service.

The emergency tariff bill must b
jammed through Congress at the
outset of the approaching extraordi-
nary session substantially as it was
passed at the recent session and
vetoed by former President Wilson.
or it must be abandoned altogether
and the writing of new permanent
tariff law begun straightaway, in
the judgment today of Republican
leaders Of Congress.
BITTER FIGHT POSSIBLE.
To attempt to cut or modify the
emergency measure materially would
be certain to provoke another cat
and-dog fight," it was predicted. II
the measure is to be enacted into law
the Republican majority in control
Of Congress must be prepared to
stand or fall on it's merits as II
now Is
Supporters OF the measure predict
that however much opposition II may
encounter in the Senate, 1t will be
reported practically unchanged from
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee. and given the right OF way In
the House under a special rule re-
stricting debate. They declare it will
be passed by the House by sub
stantial majority.
HEAD OFF OPPONENTS.
The Republican leaders are now
engaged in heading off any serious
fight which may threaten it. In an
ticipation of another Democratic fill
buster. and of fresh Attempts to amend
it. they are planning not only to en-
ploy caucus, or majority rule, but to
invoke cloture or restriction of de-
bate, diflicult as both usually are to
obtain. A disciplined" Republican
majority, as Senator Penrose express
es IT, coupled with sufficient White
House pressure, will remove most Of
the difficulties and obstacles the
plans of its supporters are now en-
countering.
The Republican leaders are de-
termined that from the outset Of the
new Congress they shall command the
situation, and provide a Republican
program for the solution of domestic
issues.

Sin runs rampant in the United

the international Reform Bureau,
published today.
Equal suffrage challenges the

ment," declares the quarterly review.
WORSE THAN IN JAPAN.
The divorce evil in the United
United States Is spreading rapidly.
the review states, and surpasses that
Of Japan. whose record was supposed
to be the worst in the world"
The review presents q study of
divorce statistics compiled from the
latest available figures by the Rev.
Francis hiinor Moody, which shows
that in 1915 '-24 Ameri0ln States,
ranging from Vermont, at 1853 d.
vorces per 100000 population, to
Nevada at 652. had 4 divorce rate
higher than was ever knwn In Japan.
A total OF thirty-two American
States, had . higher divorce rate
than Japan. the review continues. and
'the rate for all States was 1875 per
100000 net population and 112 per
100, 900 total population" which ex-
ceeded the japanese rate OF 100.
"Japan's worst ratio of divorces to
marriages was one divorce to 7.65
marriages In 190s." says the review.
The Japanese ratio for 1915 was one
divorce to 7.1o marriages. Seventeen
of our States had ratios ranging from
one to 6.93 in Kansas to one to 1.54
in Nevada Besides these seventeen
we note that the States of Illinois
and Michigan ran worse than Japan's
best with ratios OF one to 1925 and one
to 7.b3, respectively.
"A study of the ratios OF divorces
and marriages in the counties of the
United States shows that more than
$40 counties had a higher ratio OF d.
vorces to marriages than that in
japan for the year 1916. Fifty-seven
OF these counties had more than one
divorce to every three marriages.
Thirteen of the 81 had more than one
divorce to every two marriages, and
six more OF the 81 had more divorces
than marriages"

NAVY DENIES CENSORINC
MESSAGES TO JAPANESE

Acting Secretary Of the Navy Roose-
welt today denied that the Navy Do
partment is exercising any censorship
over naval radio press dispatches to
Japan.
Secretary Roosevelt said that the
naval radio had refused to transmit
to Japan a press dispatch reporting
a statement by Admiral Gleaves to
the effect that the Japanese navy
would be as large as that of the
United States by 1923, in order that
the statement might be Investigated.
Secretary Roosevelt said that press
dispatch offered for transmission to
Japan was an unauthorized statement
of a naval officer and that it had been
desired to delay transmission until 1t
could be learned whether Admiral
Gleaves had been correctly quoted.

Eatonic is the modern remedy for

PROPERTIES
. |NPRELATE'S NAME
Title to Many Churches and
Schools Vested in De-
ceased Cardinal.

BALTIMORE, March 26.-The title
to the property of all the Catholic Sec
ular churches and parochial schools
and the secular colleges in the arch
diocese is invested in Cardinal Glib
bons, not as an Individual but as q
corporation sole, a corporation con-
sisting of one man only. This prop
erty is worth millions of dollars.
The corporation sole was created by
acts of the Maryland Legislature in
1882. 1868. and 1874. Under them the
Archbishop of Baltimore takes title
to all church property under his juris-
diction, and all deals for property, by
whatever parish of the archdiocese,
are carried on in his name.
NO LEGAL ACTION.
. With the death Of the archbishop
no legal complications entangle the
property, however. The creative acts
provide that the archdiocesan admin
istrator, named by the counselors of
the archdiocese, shall be administra-
tor, OF the property Of the corpora
ton sole. When a new archbishop
Is consecrated he automatically be-
comes the corporation sole and.
automatically takes title
to the property. Therefore, Bishop
Corrigan. who will be named ad-
m.2istrator of the archdiocese by the
counseiors today, will become admin
istrator of all the church properly
in this Jurisdiction until a new arch
bishop is consecrated.
The Cardinals personal estate Is
believed to be small, as he was al
ways most generous in contributing
to all worthy causes. His will may
not be filed for probate until after
the funeral. 1t is believed, although II
is possible that 1t will be filed Mon
day.
J GAVE AWAY FORTUNE.
The Cardinal cared little for world
1y wealth. He received large sums Of
money from his publications. besides
gifts of various amounts from per-
sons in scattered parts of the country.
Many legacies were left to him by
devout Catholics. Joseph Frieden-
wald. a prominent Jew of Baltimore,
left the Cardinal $4,000 for his own
personal use. He received a stipu-
lated per cent of the new rents COL
lected in the diocese, and this amount
ed yearly to handsome sum.
Nearly all of this he disposed of in
charity. He gave to the humblest of
his followers in religion and to the
Catholic University and to priests in
remote villages who were unable to
keep up their churches through
periods. Yearly he gave
large amounts to aid the poor. who
were made happy by distributions of
food and clothing during the Christ
mas holidays. BY many who knew
the Cardinal well IL was estimated
that he had a yearly income of $15,-
900 to $4,000. Little of this was
used for his own personal comfort
He was always seeking out the good
that might be done for others ana
no worthy appeal made to him went

NEW YORK, March I'd
Easter hats and frocks for the

have cost more than $780,

spent almost as much on new
suits and ties and things, ac-
cording to James Gould, retail

He thinks it has been the
greatest Easter buying season
in history, and the buying has
been done not only in the

ONE BRAND OF "HUMOR--
That Is not Grass, mean and vulgar
hatred of the unfortunate. 1t is
humor. Ask the author of 1t, and you
will find that l am right. He will ad-
NIT it is humor. He goes on:
"The only onerous thing about
prison life nowadays Is the rule
which requires all prisoners to be in
by 1880 o'clock in the evening. The
average prisoner is better cared for
than the average citizen"
That Is humor also. 1t could be
made even funnier If il were Illus
trated with pictures of dungeons and
torture machines which were former
ly used to make punishment the bene-
ficent and uplifting moral cure that
the editor of this Philadelphia paper
thinks it ought to be in 1921.
If 1 had space / could go on and
writer with the elaborate jest that
the only prison oppression he knowe
of Is a rule against baseball on Sum

tocrats cannot be improved by any
thing I can write. They Will go on
until they are obsolete.
