THEY SEPARATED LAST YEAR

Several Months Previous to
Court Proceedings.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 10.—Preliminary
proceedings for divorce have been be
gun by the Duke of Westminster. It |
is underwood that the Duchess con
templates a counter suit.
The co-respondent named by the
Duke is the Duke of Albn. who at
one time was reported to be engaged
to an American girl and who is well
known In cosmopolitan society.
Case Creates Sensation..
The case when it comes to trial is
likely to create a sensation.
The matrimonial infelicity of the
Westminsters has long been a subject
of gossip, and reports that one or the
other of the pair intended to seek
divorce have been frequent for some
years. These reports* have not hud
legal foundation hitherto.
The domestic troubles of Hugh
Richard Arthur Grosvenor. second
Duke of Westminster, and his Duch
ess have for some time been public
property, and divorce proceedings
have been freely predicted. Their
marriage took place in 1901 and they
have two children. Lady Ursula Gros
venor. age 11, and Lady Mary, age 3.
The Duchess, daughter of Colonel
Cornwallis West, is a pis ter of the
Princess of Pless, and her only broth
er is George Cornwallis West, the
second husband of the former Lady
Randolph Church. The Duke of
Westminster, who was born in 3 87'.).
is one of the rlckesl men in England,
owning 30,000 acres in Cheshire' and
Flintshire and 600 acres in London.
He is chiefly known as a sportsman,
especially as a keen poloist.
Duke Polo Enthusiast.
The Duke is paving the expenses
of the British polo team that is now
on it? way to this country to compete
wfth the American team for the inter
national championship. He had a
great deal to do with the selection
of the English players, and person-j
ally choee the ponies that are being,
brought over, scouring England ami
Ireland for the best •animals ob
tainable.
The open break between the pair
came a few months ago. when, after
a violent scene, the Duke is said to
have ordered the Duchess out of his
town residence. Grosvenor Houy.l
following a ball given at Bucking
ham Palace by the King and Queen,
to which the Duchess was invited and
the Duke pointedly was not asked.
Last March the couple formally
separated. Photographs published
last winter in the papers show ing the
Duchess hand in hand on the ice and
waltzing and tobogganing with a pro
fessional skater in Switzerland are
believed to have been a partial cause
of the separation. The Duchess is de
scribed as very handsome, dashing
and stylish, with a splendid figure,
dark brown hair, blue-gray eyes, and
dark eyebrows.
The Duke’s name was not entirely
free from scandal before his marring* .
Descendant of King.
The Duke of Alba, named as co
respondent, is the descendant of an
English King and a Spanish grande**
with a fortune. His full name i«*
Jaeobo Maria del Pilar Carlos Manuel
Stuart Fits-James* (tenth Duke .if
Berwick and seventeenth Duke of
Albu de Tonnes) He was born at
Madrid in 1878. The first Duke was
a son of James II and Arabella
Churchill, sister of the first Duke of
Marlborough.
^ The Duke of Alba is a bachelor
Five or six # years ago it w as rumored
that he was engaged to Miss Math-
ilde Townsend, of Washington and
Philadelphia. His father died at the
Holland House, New York, in Octo
ber. 1901. He* ha*! come here as a
guest of Sir Thomas Llpton to watch
the America’s cup races.

day the text for sormoni, to the
end that a more vital interest in
morals and home protection shall
be engendered.
Loose divorce laws have been
the target of every student of
modern tendencies; the new prob-
terms co-existent with the changes
in the home life of the greater
part of our population have caused
unrest. Carelessness of the mar
riage tie is responsible for an in
finity of misery. The collusive di
vorce is the scandal of our courts.
Men and women oonspire to break
a tie, on inadequate grounds or
nene, and take no Keed to the
rights of the children, who are the
real sufferers.
A uniform divorce law for the
nation is needed.
If Mothers’ Day helps establish
this principle it will be a victory
for the permanence of the home.

AIRSHIP TO BE USED AS
FERRY ACROSS COOS BAY S TEEL PLATE INSERTED
IN BADLY SHATTERED LEG
WASHINGTON, May 10.—A move
ment to save the flsh in inland waters
has become almost National in its
scope within the last few months.
Through experts in the Bureau of
Fisheries investigations have been
made that have saved many fish lives
from needless death.
The bureau works In co-operation
with the State Fish Commission. If
the men on those commissions face
intricate problems, they submit sam
ples of water to the bureau and the
bureau analyzes them. And the bu
reau goes a step farther, because
analysis may not solve the problem.
Poison Squad at Work.
Down at the bureau' headquarters
is what is known as a “poison squad,”
and through this group of healthy
members of the finny tribe the flsh
doctors plant the cause and watch
th(. effect. Then the bureau goes out
to And the remedy.
From observations thus far made
the bureau lias found that there are
parts in each stream along whose
banks are located factories giving out
poisonous matter which are shunned
by flshf while other parts are thickly
populated. In other words, the ab
sence of flsh in any part of a stream
indicates a danger zone.
Another peculiar condition which
the bureau has brought to light is
that factories may give off poisonous
matter without fatal effects on fish.
In one instance along a stream in
Oregon it was found that two fac
tories situated nearly opposite each
other gave off an acid and an alkali
and the waters thereabouts were
harmless to flsh because the two sub
stances neutralized each other.
Perhaps the most peculiar physical
condition found to exist among flsh is
appendicitis. Out in the Middle West
saw’ mills line almost every stream,
in their active operations the mills
give off fine sawdust, which floats
upon the waters. Some of the parti
cles become water-soaked and sink a
short distance below’ the surface. To
the flsh these particles appear like
tempting morsels, and are rapidly de
voured. Like the orange or grape
seed in the human being, it some
times escapes the point where it
would cause suffering, but again it
occasionally sticks, and a well-de
veloped case of appendicitis follows,
which ks commonly fatal.
Commercial Results.
These investigations by State and
National authorities on flsh have
sometimes had unusual commercial
results. Two years ago the residents
along the banks of a certain stream
in Pennsylvania asked the State au
thorities to investigate the cause of
the destruction of flsh in parts of the
river. Analysis showed that the
water contained tannic acid, evident
ly from the many tanning plants
along the river. The authorities at
tacked the tanners, who put in reno
vation processes for their refuse. As
a result, the acid was refined and
sold, the fleshings from the hides
were turned into glue and the hair
was sold to contractors for use in
mortar mixing.

teen years old, who were convicted
of breaking into a freight car and
stealing candy, to keep a street of
the city clear of waste paper and

Crescent Avenue, which the boys
must keep clean, is a long street, with
few turnings, and many of their

The voice of M. L. Brittain, Geor
gia State Superintendent of Schools,
is added to the charges of partiality
and discrimination against the South
that is being made by Southern edu
cators generally regarding Branrler
Mathews’ text book “An Introduc
tion of the Study of American Litera
ture.”
The South, thinks Mr. Brittain, has
not been given its just due in the
book.
"Dr. Matthews has not treated the
subject of Southern literature fair
ly,” he aaid yesterday. “It seem* that
he Is incapable of doing so, as aiw
other Northerner is.
“But then.” he qualified, and smiled,
*th£t may be only the way we feel
about It.”
Dr. Matthews, the Columbia Uni
versity professor, who is considered
generally the leading figure in Amer
ican belles lettres, recently published
his book. It was hailed as the last
word In Its subject, and was adopted
in many public schools everywhere.
Then the South, in many parts cf
which the book was accepted, began
to be sorry, and protest against the
tone of the volume has come from
many quarters. The voice of the
Georgia State Superintendent is only
one'of a number.
Not Adopted in Georgia.
The book has not been adopted in
any of the schools of Georgia of
which he is aware, Mr. Brittain said.
Although not necessarily lpoking to
ward adoption, it has been examined
by a number of teachers in the course
of their effort to keep up with the
latest publications along educational
lines.
The criticism by Mr. Brittain is
that the author has made but an in
significant presentation of Southern
literature, with the result that chil
dren in the schools where the book
is used will go out without a fair
knowledge of the true place of South
ern writers.
The charge by Mr. Brittain came
vesterday at the same time as a
widely published attack on the book
by Mrs. Thomas Randolph Leigh,
state historian of the Alabama Divis
ion of the United Daughters of tlm
Confederacy. Mrs. Leigh’s attach
was bitter.
"It is a misnomer.” she declared,
according to dispatches from Ne v
York that bore the story of her un
sparing criticism. “It bears the titie
of a book concerning American’ lit
erature. I consider that the mental
food for our children should receive
as rigid inspection as their physical
food. For that reason I call a halt
on the use of Professor Mathews*
text book, in that it is not what Its
title purports it to be.”
Mrs. Leigh resents the exclusion of
Poe’s poems, when Halleck’s ami
Drake’s are quoted. She condemns
Dr. Matthews for mentioning £eton
Thompson, and forgettin- Audubon,
and for the neglect accorded Joel
Chandler Harris. Sidney Lanier, Hen
ry Timrod Sitnms, and others whon
she terms "Southern scintillants.”
Only Two Southerners.
“Professor Mathews’ book,” she
charged, “contains 28 portraits of lit
erary men. and of this number only
two Southerners are represented—■
Edga** Alien Poe and Joel Chandler
Harris. The picture of the latter is
so small it may be covered with the
thumb. Though the book contains 269
pages only two short sentences are
devoted to that inimitable Georgian,
whose unforgettable figure of Uncle
Remus will sit by the fireside on win
ter nights and entertain countless
children and grow’nups years after
moth? have devoured the 269 pages
written by the partisan professor,
who gives a list of 288 literary con
tributions by Americans, among
which are found only 24 from the*
pens of Southerners.
“Nowhere in Professor Matthew.?
textbook appears the patrician coun
tenance of Sidney Lanier, although
Lanier's and Poe’s writings form t.\e
highest course given in the Engli l
departments of some of America’s
and England's greatest universities.
Not a single poem of that gifted Li-
nier is called by name.
Whittier Has Big Place.
"On the other hand," she continues,
"seventeen pages are devoted to the
plebeian, Whittier, whose clumsy p?n
so often stumbled and fell as he
mixed indifferent verse with aboli
tion ribble with such rancor that his
own fellow’ citizens rose up as an In
dignant mob and sacked and burned
his printing office. Professor Mat
thews. after using 17 pages of writ
ten notes, says: It is the hard fate
of nearly all writing done to aid a
cause that it is killed by its own suc
cess—so interest in these polemic
writings is now mainly historical.’ ”
While agreeing wMth Mrs.Leigh In
the general charge aganst the tex:
book. Mr. Brttain stop* at her attack
on Whittier, and takes up an argu
ment in defense of the New Englani
poet.
“Whittier has too high a stand
among our people to be dismissed in
such a manner,” he said.
"But there is no doubt.” he con
cluded, "that, from our viewpoint the
book. Mr. Brittain stops at her attack
Northerners generally seems to be one
of tolerant condescension toward the
Southerners in literature. The book
of Dr. Matthews is typical.”
Countess Gizycka

WASHINGTON,. May 10.—Countess
Gizycka, the chief faddist of Wash

nothing more or less than to wear
your family cres't inset in real lace
on your dainty silk stocking.
^ This is an expensive fad and will
add a pretty penny to the cost of

to nave separate lace made to order
and inset in the hose by an expert.

Oklahoma Man Who Took Treat- Yellow Nation Expects Preferen-

Post-Mortem.
BERLIN. May 10.—The Berlin cor
respondent of The Sunday American
has obtained a copy of the official re
port of a post-mortem on a Fried
mann patient, John McCluky, of Ok
lahoma, who died in Berlin on Febru
ary 14.
McClusky, who W’as 32 years old,
fell dead in the street three weeks
after he had received the injection
treatment from Dr. Friedmann. He
w f as suffering from markedly ad
vanced pulmonary tuberculosis, with
large cavities in his lungs, when he
submitted himself to the treatment.
Post-Mortem Held.
The post-mortem took place at the
Royal Hospital, in Berlin, under the
supervision of Professor We.stenhofer,
head of the pathological department
of that institution. Among those who
participated in it was Dr. E. Avery
Newton, an American physician prac
ticing at Bad Nauheim. Dr. Newton
recently returned from Belgrade,
where he installed a corps of young
American doctors for special service
in the Servian military hospitals.
Medical men who have had access
to the post-mortem report of the Mc
Clusky case say that the significant
feature of it is the fact that the
general tuberculosis, as distinguished
from the pulmonary affection of the
patient, was of very recent origin.
The report sets forth that McClusky
received an injection in. the left
gluteal muscle. His lungs were shown
to contain cavities as large as hens’
eggs. Death w’as caused by the
rupture of a pea-sized aneurism of a
branch of the pulmonary artery lying
on the side of one of the lung cavi
ties.
Microscopic Examination.
Microscopic examination showed
that there was a pronounced tendency
to healing in the lungs, but very re
cent acute miliary tuberculosis of the.
kidneys, liver and spleen and a
marked catarrhal condition of the left
Rosenmuller gland. Ln the muscle
tissue at the point of injection there
was young connective tissue, with
many fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and
leucocytes. There was also destruc
tion of muscle with a tendency to re
generate. In one place there was a
typical tubercle with necrosis of the
giant cells, epitheloid cells and lym
phocytes.

tration.
Expects Preferential Treatment.
Japan has purposely made her case
so that it will be parallel to that *£
Great Britain, and has put the State
Department in the attitude of having
to treat with the two countries alike.
In other words, if the administration
should agree to submit the British
case to arbitration, Japan will con
tend that he same rule snould apply
to the Japanese protest. The acts of
the administration have encouraged
the Japanese Government to believe
that it will get preferential treatment.
Thai preferential treatment is
clearly foreshadowed by the telegrams
which President Wilson has sent to
Governor Johnson of California, and
the efforts of Secretary Bryan prove
to the State of California that it was
actually violating the treaty with Ja-,
pan.
English Spirit Is Different.
No one in Washington believes that
Great Britain will force an issue with
the Unted otates in the same spirit
that appears to animate the Japanese
Government.
The trouble with Japan is therefore
regarded as of more interest and
fraught with dangerous consequences,
Still, there i* no patriotic arouse-
ment to the necessity for an amola
navy.
CONTROL OF DRUNKENNESS

WRITES RELATIVES LETTER
POTTSTOWN, PA., May 10.—
Charles Mayor, a former Pottstown
business man, who has been mourned
for dead for more than a year by
his relatives because they thought he
had perished on the Titanic, pleasant
ly surprised them when, they received
a letter from him saying that he is
well. Hi 1 is now in business at Mul
berry, Va., and does not explain why
he maintained silence for so long.
Mayor was in England about the
time the Titanic sailed, and a^* a man
named "Mayor" was reported among
the lost, his relatives believed it was
he.
i BOSTON, May 10.—Declaring Mas
sachusetts is making no progress to-
j ward the control of drunkenness,
I Governor Foss, in a special message
to the Legislature, asks for the ap
pointment of a commission to inves-
I tigate the evil. The commission
would take full charge of every case
of public instruction and would also
offer to the habitual drunkard an
asylum for an Indefinite period, where
he may be protected against his own
weakness and engaged in wholesome
employment.

the happiness they had missed.
