A case of fidelity through years o f
abuse camp to light hero when Fran
ces Gertrude Wilmot got a divor*<
from her husband.

CHICAGO, April High rent as
a cause of immorality of women will
be the subject of Inquiry by the Illi
nois Senate whit* sluvo committee
this week.
“High rental exhausts a faifillyV
ability to provide healthful recrea
tion," said Lieutenant Governor
O’Hara. “It compels many to live in
insufficient quarters, dept Ives young
girls of needed privat y and lowers
their pride. It also exhausts the fam
ily's vitality so that parents have n >t
the opportunity to devote to their
children the time and attention n* c.*s-
sary to steer them clear of tempta
tion.”
Landlords wijl be summoned to toll
of their profits, and experts will be
heard on the actual valuation of *h.*
property on whicfl high rentals are
charged.

LONDON, April l\8. British news
papers comment on S rotary of
State Bryan's grape jui ■ dinner to
the diplomatic corps in Washington,
in honor of James Bryce, th*- retir
ing British Ambassador. "Wishy
Washington" should be the title > f
the American capital, according to
tin* Pall Mall Gazette, William Wal
dorf Astor’s paper.
"Official life in Washington und' r
the Wilson-Bryan regime holds ou:
little prospect of gaiety," Its * ditor’a
says to-day. “We fear that the capi
tal of the great republic is destined
to be known as 'Wishy Washington.*
Commenting upon the dinner, the
Daily Express referred to Bryan
policy as "teetotal diplomacy” and
said that as a State Minister lie had
no right to enforce his abstemious
-Ideas on his guests.
The diplomats, said the Express
had no choice, since to refuse th?
Secretary's invitation would have in
volved them in the suspicion of in
ternational discourtesy. Bryan, said
the editorial, had no right to do, as
Secretary of State, what he coil'd
very well have done as a private
citizen.

HADLEY 1916 PRESIDENCY
BOOM STARTED IN BOSTON
Georgia, with $87,000,000 invested
In 160 cotton mills whtoh operate 2,-
025,000 spindles, is vitally interested
in the schedules of the Underwood
tariff bill which govern the duties
on cotton yarn.
Leading Georgia spinners v iew the
proposed schedules with no great en
thusiasm. and, on the other hand,
with no great fear.
The effect on Georgia mills, spin
ners agree, will, for the most part,
be indirect. The proposed cut is
heaviest on line yarns, and while
dome fine yarns are. spun in the State,
most of the output is coarser num
bers.
Eastern mills spin yarns. There
seems to be a fear that the proposed
cut in fine yarns will force American
mills in general to turn to coarser
products. This will greatly increase
Georgia s competition, and may cause
losses.
At the convention in Boston just
ended, representatives of the textile
industry, gathered from all parts of
the Union, said that a reduction in
wues would follow any serious cut
in the tariff.
Georgia spinne/s say that decreas
ed wages may be a result, but not
immediately, ami that eventually any
cut in wages is likely to be offset by
a reduced cost of living.
ALL AT SEA.
“I do not believe any spinner in
America knows just exactly where he
stands under the proposed tariff
schedules,” says A. F. Johnson, Pres
ident of the Exposition Cotton Mills,
which employ 1,900 persons and ope
rate 60,000 spindles.
“The proposed rate, however, seems
to me to be a little below the factor
of safety. I think spinners can stand
some reduction from the present
schedule, but I think the Underwood
proposals a little too radical.
"The Georgia Manufacturers Asso
ciation is insisting that the rate be
no lower than the schedule proposed
by Louis Parker of Greenville, S. C.,
who offered a schedule to the Con
gressional Investigating Committee in
January, much below the present rate,
but not as low as tlie Underwood
bill proposes.
EFFECT INDIRECT.
"The effect on the Exposition Mills
will be indirect. The competition in
the finer yarns, where the proposed
cut is greatest, will force American
spinners into the coarser, which will
increase our competition.
“In general, yarns from U> to 20
are considered coarse, from 20 to 40,
medium and from 4m on, fin**.
“We spin from lu to 40. There
an* mills in the East, and I believe
there is one in Columbus, Ga., spin
ning as high as 90. Thread manu
facturers go even higher.
“1 would favor a ‘moderate reduc
tion, to be tried out for a reasonable
length of time. If it proves the mills'
can stand a greater cut, let it come.
Of course, it may be that we can do
well enough under the Underwood
bill, it is all a new field.”
BUYERS HESITANT.
“Hesitancy among buyers, who are
lidding off in the hope of lower
prices, is the worst trouble the pro
posed new tariff is bringing us,” says
W. M. Nixon, President of the Atlan*
la Woolen Mills.
"We are unable just now to make
contracts. Jobbers think the Under
wood bill may lower prices, so they
will not order. This is a serious
matter, for we cannot regulate our
uitput properly under such circum
stances. It is important that we
make no more than wo can sell, for
goods held over cannot be sold at
fair prices.
"We do not believe that the tariff
will affect our industry directly. 1*
1s possible that; it may affect it in
directly, in this way:

This board, after a fair inquiry, de
cided that the wreck came about
through a broken rail, and the road
accepted the verdict as just and right.
Not only has this greatly pleased
the people affected by this wreck,
which was a relatively small one, but
it has made them more friendly to
tlie road than ever before. They say
they never will have any trouble get

It is understood that the Central
