JUDGE CANN COMMENDS JURY
AND 80UND8 WARNING
FROM BENCH.
8pecla] to The Georgian.
-t-avanah, Ga., Juno 7.—In the su
perior court Tuesday Judge Conn, aft
er disposing of a number of divorce
is, took occasion to commend the
juries for providing In some cases that
the offending party should not bo al
lowed to remarry. The presiding judge
expressed the opinion that such restric
tions would have a wholesome effect
and would tend to decrease the num
ber of divorces. Reference was also
made to the Increase In divorces.
“You are probably unaware of how
this divorce buelness la on the In
se In this county," said Judge
Cann. "It is a matter over which
the judge has absolutely no control
The court feels that It Is not within
his province to charge the grand jury
on tne subject.
"As long as husband or wife
guilty of flagrant violations of the
marriage vow the best Interests of so
ciety may require that divorces be
granted. Whatever our personal v
those laws now stand. But the
wisely provides that the Jury hae the
light to put the perty In the wrong
under certain dlsabllltlea. and may deny
to the person who has flagrantly vln.
lated the marriage vow the right t<
perpetrate such outrages on any fw
lure husband or wife.
"The records show that In this coun
ty In 1(02 there were 140 divorce cases
disposed of; there were 1(2 In 1904,
and In 11(9 there were 111. At the
same time there hee been an apprecl
able decrease In the number of all
many cases, this being due to tlfh strict
showing which the judge has required,
that being a matter under his con
trol."

"RED" FROM AMERICA
SOUGHT KING'S LIFE
By Private I .eased Wire.
London, Juno 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 nn attempt on the
life of the king of Italy at the opening
of the Milan exposition and'dispatched
nne of their number to make the at
tempt. This. anarchist was followed
through England and France and ar
rested at the moment he set font nn
Italian soil. The whole affair was kept
secret from the public.
It further appears that all the Euro-
K in government* were Informed that
tenon anarchists had plotted the
assassination of three sovereigns. It
was this that led to the discovery of
bomb* at Ancona and of a plot against
King Victor Emanuel.
The Dally Telegraph's correspondent

SOLICITOR C. D. HILL’8

Solicitor Charles D. Mill gave an ex'
hlbltton of animal taming Tuesday af
temonn when his badger arrived from

•elect when the badger was Introduced,

xjderably smaller when Solicitor Hill
read an extract from a letter concern
Ing the badger In which It was sold
that "Harold"—that'a the badger's
name, was as gentle as could be and
had been for several yean a great pel
In the family, though at llmea ^Harold"
would become obstreperous, and had to
be handled with a great deal of care.
Then Solicitor Hill proceed
se* Just how much care he could give
the animal that looked like a croas be
tween a wild cat, ’poeum and hound
dog. It wae almost black, and had a
set of teeth that made Mr. Hill look
askance at "Harold," while he kept
a distance of 10 or It feet between him
end the family pet. "Harold" seemed
delighted to meet the court house of
ficial*. and could not understand the
seeming lark of similar feeling on their
part. He showed his teeth, and claw
ed at the sides of the box. In 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
see If there was a ready escape. It
seemed that he did not appreciate
Harold's affectionate advances.
Despite the fact that the badger was
heralded as "perfectly tame,” the fatal
clause In the letter about hts having to
be handled with extreme car* when
ever he became Irritated, ha* caused
the solicitor to present with a groat
pleasure the badger, "Harold.” to the
too, where he will share attention with
"Maud," the people'* candlet* for pop
ularity at Grant* park.
