skvanah, Oa., June 7.—In the so
perl or court Tuesday Judge t.’ann, aft
er disposing of a number of divorce
cases, took occasion to commend the
Juries for providing In some cases that
the offending party should not be al
lowed to remarry. The presiding Judge
expressed the opinion that such restrlc
tlons would have a wholesome effect
and would tend tq decrease the minv
her of divorcee. Reference was also
made to the increase in divorce*..
You are probably unaware of how
this divorce business la on the Iff
In this county,” aald Judge
Cann. "It la a matter over which
the Judge has absolutely* no control.
.The court feels that It la not within
hla province to charge the grand Jury
on the subject
"As long as husband or wife
guilty of flagrant violations of the
marriage vow the beet Interests of so
ciety may require that divorces be
granted. Whatever our personal views,
those laws now stand. But the law
wisely provides that the Jury has the
right to put the party In the wrong
under certain disabilities, and may deny
to the person who has flagrantly vio
lated the marriage vow the right to
perpetrate such outrage* on any fu
ture husband or wife.
"The records show that In this coun
ty In 1902 there were 140 divorce cases
disposed of; there were 163 In 1901,
and In 1896 there were 118. At the
same time there has been an appred
able decrease In the number of all
mony caaea, this being due to the strict
showing which ths Judge has required,
that being a matter under his con
trol.”

London, June 7.—The Dally Tele
graph prints a report from Vienna
that the police learned that Italian
anarchists living In Paterson, N. J.,
have decided upon an attempt on the
Ufa of the king of Italy at the opening
of the Mllsn exposition and dispatched
one of their number to make the at
tempt. This anarchist was followed
through England and France and ar
rested at the moment he set foot on
ItaNan soil. The whole affair was kept
cret from the public.
It further appears that all the Euro-
K in governments were Informed that
tenon anarchists had plotted the
assassination of three sovereigns. It
was this that led to the discovery of
bomba at Ancona and of a plot against
King Victor Emanuel.
The Dally Telegraph’s correspondent
•ays that Premier Glolltll and Foreign
Minister Tlmonl had conferences on
the matter with Ambassador White,
who waa Instructed by the Washington
government to afford full Information
regarding the proceedings of anarchists
In America.
SOLICITOR C. D. HILL’S
BADGER HAS COME
Solicitor Charles D. Hill gave an ex
hibition of animal laming Tuesday af
ternoon when his badger arrived from
Texas. The audience waa email and
■elect'when the badger was Introduced,
and It proceeded to make Itself con
elderably smaller when Hollcltor Hill
read an extract from a letter concern
ing the badger In which It was said
that "Harold”—that’a ' the badger’s
name, was as gentle as could be and
had been for several years a great pet
In the family, though at tlmea "Harold”
would become obstreperous; and had to
be handled with a great deal of rare.
Then Solicitor Hill proceed I .
see Just how much care he could give
the animat that looked like a cross be
tween a wild cat, 'posum and hound
dog. It was almost black, and had a
set of teeth that made Mr. Illll looh
askance at "Harold.” while he kept
a distance of 10 or IX feet between him
and the family pet. "Harold” seemed
delighted to meet the court house of
ficials, and could not understand the
seeming lark of similar feeling on their
part. He sheared hie teeth, and claw
ed at the aides of the box. Id an at
tempt to get out. for he wanted to
meet some one, and from the way the
solicitor looked out of the window to
i If there waa a ready escape. It
med that he did not appreciate
Harold’s affectionate advances.
Despite the fact that the badger waa
heralded as “perfectly tame,” the fatal
clause In the ietter about his having to
be handled with extreme care when
ever he became Irritated.. has caused
the solicitor to present with a great
pleasure the badger, "Harold” to the
soo, where he will share attention with
"Maud.” the people’s candlate for pop
ularity at Grant park.

•Regarding Men Formerly
with Mutual Life.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Juno 7.—Although Dls
trict Attorney Jerome 1ms given Im
munity to many men who formerly
held high place* In the Mutual Life In
surance Company, there are men who
have not agreed to tell all they knew
about the operations of other men.
At all events, these men are not con
sidered so Innocent of wrongdoing or
Intended wrongdoing that they will be
free from Indictments, should the evi
dence warrant such action by the grand
Jury. The men are: Richard A. Mc
Curdy, former president of the Mutual
Life; Richard A. Grannfs, former vice
president of the Mutual Life; Walter
R. Gillette, former vice president of the
Mutual Life. This list may be added
to should Indictments be found.
In getting Immunity It Is said today
that Andrew C. Fields, the "yellow
dog" fund handler, and the man who
manipulated legislators and state of
ficials, agreed to tell Jerome all he
knew of this wholesale bribery* He is
expected to give names and dates, to
gether with amounts. It Is said also
that Jerome has in his possession In
formation that not only legislators and
senators, n->t to speak of the state su
perintendents of Insurance, but that
governors of several states got Mutual
money for "services."
It Is said that Lawrence, Rogers and
other of the "lmmunes," corroborated
the* testimony of Fields. This testi
mony Is as yet one of the grand Jury’
secrets, but-when It Is told In full and
mode public, a sensation, political and
financial. Is expected If Jerome permits
names to be mentioned.
