DECISION FOR
 THE DEPENDANT
Judge Peasley Finds Plain- tiff Lost Wlfe's Affection
 By Own Misconduct
LYNCH IS EX0NERATED

The s10,AA0 alienation of affection suit of Alfred Cadotte against
 Thomas Lynch which was tried in
 superior court last week, was de- |cided in favor of the defendant ,ac- |c0rding to a deeisien handed dewn by Judge Frederick M. Peasley this morning. The plaintiff charged in the suit heard by Judge Peasley, that the defendant alfenated the love and affection of his wife SO that
 he lost the peace and happiness of his home.
 Attorney Thomas F. McGrath representing the defendant, Lynch, brought out on cross-examination of the plaintiff, that Cadotte several times came home in an intoxicated condition and beat his wife.
 In his decision this morning Judge Peasley states: The plaintiff in this action is seeking damages for alienation of his wife's affections
 Prior to the bringing of this action the plaintiff, by his own miscon- duct, had so alienated the affections |of his wife that she left him and brought an action for divorce against him, which she later withdrew and |attempted to again establish the the plaintiffs wife now has no af- lection for him but in view of all
 their circumstances for the past sew
 eral years and upon the evidence
 produced it cannot reasonably be
 said that the loss of the love and affection of the plaintiffs wife is due to the defendants many acts of Kindness that were shared by other |neighbors and friends without thought of becoming involved in such charges as are made by the plaintiff. The defendant will take Judgment for court costs"

 as evils in the present order which await attention.
 After painting a brief picture of hunger in the midst of overproduc- ton, labor suffering the grinding evils of injunctive process'' he turned to the power issue.
 Referring to federal trade commits sion disclosures concerning the pow CT industry, he said.
 This gigantic trust has secretly enmeshed it's slimy fingers into the warp and wool of human life.
 The secret agents of this trust
 have gone into political partnership with the lower elements of humanity | and have undertaken to, and in many cases have succeeded in cor
 rupting public officials. They have | taken part in politics from the school district director all the way
 up through the channels of political
 activity to and including the pres- idency.
 "They have spent millions in cor
 rupting and misleading legislatures,
 regulating commissions. political
 parties and all other men and or
 so-called regulation of public util-
 ities, With money wpung from a
 suffering people they control eiec-
 tions and debaueh public officials.
 Regulation has proven a failure be-
 cause, in too many cases, the regula-
 tions are regulated by this monop- olistio trust"
 After his own address of welcome, Norris referred briefly to the letter
 written him to-day by Senator Wat son, republican, Indiana, who was described by the veteran Nebraskan las Little Jimmy Watson.' Emphasizing that Watson did not appear to realize the progressive
 conferees were mot pretending to be q political party and are not
 here to organize a political party" Norris said the questions pFopound- ed by Watson would be better taken

 outside the congress.
 "Some of the finest people in the country are in Indiana but some- times they do comical things, They certainly played a gigantic joke on the country at large when they
 elected little Jimmy Watson to the United States senate" Norris suggested that Watson
 should gather up his marbles and hunt up that boy Lucas (Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the re-
 publican national committed and together they could have fine time playing in the backyard of the White House.

CANADIAN AUTOMOBILE :
TARIFF CHANGE DEBATED
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresA
OTTAWA, February 21.-The auto
mobile industry in Canada was divided
into two camps today over the gov
eminent order fixing a maximum 20
per cent discount from list price as the
basis for figuring tariff.
Representatives OF the importers said
the new ruling, which increases the
duty on cars about Is per cent, would
drive them out of business, throw
10000 persons out of work and increase
the cost of automobiles to the public.
Spokesman for domestic manufac-
turers claimed that the order, which
would tend to exclude 100000 worth
of cars made in the United States,
would stimulate the industry in Can
ada and put the Dominion on an ex-
porting basis, creating about SIS 900, 900
worth of employment.
The effect of the order varies with
the class of cars.
The increase on cars in the 81 900
class amounts TO total Of 1920. 1t is
about $1,000 on the cars in the $4,000
class.
F. A. hence Kivell, president Of the
importers association, called the In
crease an unnecessary extra tribute
from Canadian consumers. who, he
said, eventually would pay the addi-
tional cost Of the higher duties.
N. A. Brown. vice president and gen.
eral manager of the General Motors OF
Canada, said the effect would be to
stimulate the industry and by increas-
ing production bring about reduction
In prices to the consumer.

NEW YORK, February 2l.-After a
lower opening, the cotton market
strengthened today and under a recovery
OF 10 points, and the largest volume of
business of any Saturday in several
months, the list closed to points
higher than Friday.
The previous setback of about IS
points brought in general support, as
dry goods positions have shown a de-
cided improvement of late. Spots were
advanced points to 1.05.
The slight decline during early trad
ing was a direct result of setback of
dollar a bale in Liverpool and addi-
tional March liquidation in advance OF
notices on TUESDAY. Owing to the holi-
Gay Monday, holders of March had only
todays short session to even up out
standing interest or accept deliveries OF
actual cotton on the opening Tuesday
and March sold 90 points under May,
which was more than the cost of carry
ing the stock for two months.
Owing TO the favorable tenor of dry
goods advices and r.ports from botn
Southern mills and from Manchester
that more optimistic feeling prevailed
market encountered STEADY demand
for contracts. on price recessions.
The statement by member of the
Farm Board that stabilizing operations
could not be expected the coming sea-
son by grain growers was generally in
terpreted as indicating similar with
drawal from the cotton market, as
operations the past year and a half
have been regarded as in the nature
of emergency measures only. Private
reports from several Southern States
that a decrease in acr age of not more
than 10 per cent is likely this Spring
proved somewhat disappointing, as
growers decreased acreage about Is per
cent IN both 1921 and 1927.

BAR SILVER SCORES
CENT AN OUNCE GAIN
Senate Resolution Suggesting Con.
ference on Metal Prices Fol-
lowed by Recovery.
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. February 21.-Bar sill
yer today scored one of the sharpest
rises in recent months of depressed
prices by advancing l cent an ounce
in New York to 27h cents.
Although there we're other bullish
factors, the trade credited the rise
principally to adoption by the United
States Senate of resolution suggesting
that President Hoover enter into nego-
tiations with other governments look
ing to the restoration of the price OF
the metal
Production figures for 1880 showed a
sharp drop from totals of recent years
and another market factor mentioned
was the action of the international
Chamber of Commerce in Paris in pro-
posing a silver conference to meet the
economic crisis in China
Heavy buying orders from India and
China reached the New York market
where the supply of the metal was lin
ited. In fact, bidding here es much as
one-eighth above London failed to
bring cut more than comparatively
meager offerings
The metal also was strong in London
where it advanced one-Quarter pence to
l27-16 pence.

The bootblack, the window-cleaner

them into brokerage ofices. This sec
ton of the public is not back in the

have owned since the 1929 crash makes
them hopeful.

port an increased business.

Further Rise Suggested.

NEW YORK. February 81 Especially
The fact that average stock prices al
the end of the week have advances
we'll above the previous high average OF
the month and Of the year confirms tc
chart readers the prediction that they
will go higher They base this on the
ability of the market to take all of the
stock offered in the last three or four
days of continuous riSe-which is sup
posed to mean that the public is buying
quite heavily and that the effect OF
further short selling is oyerbalanced b.
outside purchases. The average Of the
market is now about the same as al
the end Of October and. by some charts
about 25 points above the low average
Of last December.
