TARIFF BILL NOW BACK
IN HOUSE Of CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22:-The
House got the administration tariff
bill back from the senate yesterday,
but did not send it to conference.
This step must await reprinting of
the amended bill, which is expected
to be completed today or tomorrow.
The experts had hoped to have it
read, but they found the senate had
made 10 many and complicated
changes in the original House bill
that their task proved far more
difficult than they had anticipated.
When the reprint is ready Repub-
lican House leaders plan to send the
measure to conference under a spe-
cial rule which may permit of little
or no discussion on the floor. At
the same time the House conferees
will be named and they will have
their first session with the senate
managers probably on Thursday.
In anticipation of acting on the
tariff the House had a quorum yes
terday for, the, first time since it re-
assembled last week. Announce
ment of the senate clerk that the
measure had been passed by the
senate and a conference requested
was greeted with mingled applause
and laughter.
AS the measure was not laid be-
fore the House, that body went
ahead with other work. but the
tariff formed the chief topic of
private discussion on the floor and
in the cloakrooms.

Ruling Made on Civil War Widow.

AuAsHS ttu VII Sh'i '"
WASHINGTON, Aug. % (By The
Associated Press).-The Secretary
Of the Interior has just rendered Il
very interesting opinion relating to
former widows of veterans of the
civil. war.
Under the act of May /, 1920,
such a widow must show that all
subsequent marriages have been dis
solved and, in case of divorce, taat
thu same was obtained without de-
fault on her part. The records of
the courts of the various states, both
under the act of 1920, and prior .eg-
islation, have been accepted by TIE
Bureau of Pensions as conclusive
where the husband obtained the di-
vorce from the wife, as showing
fault on the part of the wife.
The secretary now rules, hcw-
ever, that where the husband moved
into some other state, than that
where the wife resided and OBJ
tanned service by publication, and
there is nothing in the record to
show actual service on the wife,
tho wife would be entitled to make
a showing Thai she was not at fault
and that such showing could be
made in the Pension Bureau itself.

BUY HUSBAND
$500 A MONTH
Offer Made in California Mil
Iionaire Circle Admitted
by All Concerned

/ SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22:-An
offer by Mrs, Edith Huntington
Spreckels Wakefield, first wife OF
the late Jack" ~Spreckels. California
millionaire, and herself prominent
in San Francisco society, to buy"
another woman's husband from her
for 800 a month for the rest of her
life came to light here today and Is
admitted by all persons involved.
The husband whom Mrs. Wake
field is credited with having offered
to buy" is Rodney Kendrick, a
newspaper artist. The wife, who is
i'll and admits she is considering
the offer, said she had already given
her wedding ring to Mrs. Wake
field. Mrs. Wakefield said she. too,
planned a divorce
A statement from Mrs. Wakefield
said:
1T was a long time ago 1 told
Mrs. Kendrick that l loved her hus-
band and wanted to marry him. L
promised her she would have a
home with Rodney and myself as
long as she lived. She is a very sick
girl and 1 took care of her for
weeks. A hundred times she told
me how grateful she was in the
presence of her husband and his
mother and sister. When we left
her l put $500 in the bank for her
to draw on"
The wife said:
Mrs. Wakefield wrote me a letter
five or six weeks ago when 1 was
in a sanitarium asking me to come
to her home in Sausalito. l had met
her a year g and l thought her
motive was one Of kindness and
friendship. Soon after I arrived she
told me hat she was in love with
my husband and hat he was in love
with her. She said she would give
me 500 a month for life and would
see that my baby was well taken
care of, if 1 would divorce Rodney
so that she might marry him as o o
as she secured a divorce from Mr..
Wakefield. Ten days ago she and
my husband both told me that it
RAJ a bargain and they left in her
car for a camping trip in the Lake
Pahoe district"
The husband said:
Long before this episode, my wife
told me that she did not love me
any longer and intended to secure a
divorce. She had been i'll with tu-
berculosis and for some time was a
patient at a Stockton sanitarium.
Several weeks ago, Mrs. Wakefield
and I brought her back to Sausalito
and the three of us were living hap
PLY there together. There was no
concealment of how things stood.
Mrs. Wakefield told my wife in the
presence of my mother that she
loved me and would marry me If
we were free. There was no longer
any love between myself and my
wife and yet we were all friendly. 1t
was the plan that everything should
be done for my wife's comfort and
happiness and up to now. no OBJ
lection has been made"
Mrs. Wakefield is described as
"thirty-nine and good looking"
Hendricks mother and sister said
they had urged the young wife to
accept the situation.
Kendrick is thirty-nine and his
wife is twenty-four. Before her mar
riage she was a physicians assist
ant.
Mrs. Wakefield is the mother of
three children from her marriage
with Spreckles. The Oldest is nine
teen.
