Countess of Yarmouth Given
: Divorce by the English .. .
Court. -
EVIDENCE IS KEPT SECRET

sent Xo Talk of Money
Settlement.
LONDON. Feb. 5. 3ir Blrrell Barnes,
president o the divorce court, today
KTanted the Countess of Yarmouth, who
whs Miss Alice Thaw, oC Pittsburg,' a'
ilneree nullifying her marriage to the
Karl of Yarmouth.
At the time fixed for the commence
ment of the proceedings, every one not
actually engaged on the case was ex
cluded from the courtroom. The case
was practically undefended, and the
hearing lasted for only half an hour.
The Countess, attired in a fashionable
black frown, was present, but the Earl
of Yarmouth was not in court.
The papers In the case are being kept
secret, and all Information regarding
the nature of the charges has been
carefully withheld. The statement was
made, however, that the character of
the medical evidence to be given made
a public hearing inadvisable.
Marriage Never Consummated.
Only four witnesses were examined.
They were the Countess of Y'armouth her
self, her maid.. a doctor appointed by the
court and an American . lawyer who
proved the marriage. The Countess gave
evidence in support of her allocution that
the marriage had never been consum
mated and the maid testified that the
Karl and Countess had not been living
as man and wife. According to the evi
dence of the doctor, the Kirl of Yar
mouth was capable of consummating the
marriage, hut counsel for the plaintiff
contended that this did not affect the
allegation that the marriage, had not
been consummated, and he pointed out
to the Judge that it was within the dis
cretion of the court to annul the mar
riage, if It were proved that It had not
been consummated.
o Stigma on Yarmouth.
The Earl of Yarmouth did not defend
the case, his lawyer satisfying himself
with pointing out that the evidence of
the doctor removed any stigma placed on
the Karl by the evidence of the plaintiff
and there was no ground on which the
. Countess could havo Mied for divorce.
The Judse pronounced his decree annull
ing the marriage without comment. In
the ordinary course of events, it will be
made absolute In six months.
No mention was made of a marriage
settlement, and it was learned from an
authoritative source that, contrary to
certain published statements, the ques
tion of revising tho settlement has not
been discuened by the' principals or their
solicitors and that it Is not likely to be
discussed.
No Contest, Therefore Short.
-. The brevity of the proceedings came
.ne. a .surprise to. everybody except those
engaged In tho case. That the hearing
should be short was arranged when the
application was made last week. - The
fact that counsel of the Earl of Yarmouth
decided, not to contest the' "action of the
Countess made this possible. This change
from the previous intention to contest
the case is -said to have been influenced
. by the evidence given recently in New
. York at the trial of Harry K. Thaw,
brother, of the Countess, for the myrder
of Stanford White,' with regard to In
sanity ' In .the Thaw family, as well as
the verdict, of the jury that Harry Thaw
.was insane when, he committed" the crime.
Brings Shame to Hereford Family.
it has been well known for two years
.past that the domestic affairs of the
Yarmouths were unhappy. The Earl's
companions a'nd his manner of living.
It was saJd. were such that he pmilrl
not give his wife the place in society
..which she had a right to expect. She
; supplied large sums of money to defray
her husband'sy extravagances, and her
friends say that aho'has conducted lier
sftlf with ' dignity throughout the
troubles resulting from the unhappy
union .arid tho difficulties of her
brother, Harry K. Thaw. The fact that
i. the Countess has decided definitely to
seek an annullment of her marriage
was made known here January 3, when
she applied to the divorce court for a
uecree.
. The Hereford family, the head of
which is the Marquis of Hereford,
whose heir the Earl of Yarmouth Is. is
one of the oldest and proudest of the
.British nobility. The Marchioness of
( Hereford has stood by her daughter-In-i..'
law throughout her troubles, and ex
ported herself to reconcile the couple,
. but In' vain. The family of the Earl is
i much distressed at the notoriety
j brought upon it as a result of the
action taken by the Countess.
tlnce her marriage, the Countess has
i. inade her home in England.

"Since announcing my Intention of

my post of duty, and I have concluded'
for the present to remain here. My

go to Oregon and make a speech, and
perhaps several, In answer to Mr.

ALL BILLS MAY BE LOST
Too Many Suhtreasury Measures Be
fore Congress.' " '-
OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. a. The multiplicity of sub
treasury bills introduced In- Congress may
prove the undoing of' them all. Bills are
pending providing for the establishment
of sublrea-surics at Portland, Or.,- Seattle,
Wash., and Salt Lake City, Utah, not to
mention one for Jacksonville; Fla., and
several others affecting different sections
of the country.
It is not likely that Congress, in face of
the Impending currency discussion, and at
a time when every effort is being made
to hold down appropriations, would enter
upon the establishment of a series of sub
treasuries.. If there was but a single
bill pending, or a couple of bills, some
thing might be accomplished, but each of
the interested cities will make a fight for
recognition, and the probabilities are that
this scramble will defeat all the stibtreas
ury bills.

FAVORS NOTE-ISSUE

Government.
REMEDY FOR EMERGENCIES
Declares Control Should Be Kept
From Banks, and . That Special
' Currency Should Bear Inter-
est to Insure Retirement.
NEW YORK. Feb. a W. J. Bryan
spoke on currency needs at the din
ner of the Economic Club tonight,
which was attended by over 700 diners;
Including many New.' York bankers,
who listened to the speaker with care
ful attention. Mr. Bryan declared that
there was no need to extend the note
Issue of the bankst as an emergency
currency. Mr. Bryan said: .
If I were diacasslnr the Aldrlch bill I
would criticize a. number of. lis provisions
and if I wre discussing the' Fowler bill I
would dissent frdm Its srovlsions. but the
point I desire to'-make is thiar that we do
not need to extend the note' Issue of the
banks. The Government can meet the needs
simply and quickly and I believe provi
sion should be made for the issue by the
Government of ther United States of notes
like our - greenbacks In form and redemp
tion, and that these United State3 notes
should be loaned by the Government' upon
sufficient security and at a rate of inter
est which .will comuel retirement of the
notes when 'the emergency Is over.
I am opposed to any Increase in the
banks' control over the currency of the na
tion. If those .who desire an elastic cur
rency are. willing to have the elasticity con
trolled by' the Government and . the .notes
Isnued by the Government there will be no
difficulty In aRreeihc about security.'- Let
the Hunt of the Government to issue be
granted and then we can easily agree upon
security and It mlht bo well to combine
several of the successions that have been
made.
BR VAX HOPES FOR VICTORY
Declares Democrats Are United and
Republicans Divided.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5. Wiliiam J".
Bryan's stay in New York today was a
strenuous one. After a morning inter
view with the newspaper men he hur
ried to Brooklyn,' where he was ten
dered a reception by Bird S. Coler,
president of the borough, and made a
speech, in which he .declared that the
Democratic party presented a united
front and was now in position to fight
the undivided enemy. He said: ",
"I am glad to find that we have a
unfted Democratic party. I have suffered
as much as any one from the results of
a divided party and I am gratiffed that
we are now presenting amlted front. I
hope for a Democratic victory this Fall.
The Democratic party has taken an ad
vanced ground and has vindicated our
position. Some of our ideas have been
indorsed by President Roosevelt. I em
phasize the word some. In some things
the President is right. Nevertheless, I do
not intend to let him push me off the
Democratic platform. '
"We are now In a position to fight the
divided enemy, for" the Republican party
is divided and It will take that party
some time to settle the questions which
have divided it. While they are doing so
we can carry on the- Government In their
stead. ' I have no doubt of the ultimate
triumph' of Democratic ideas. The time
is coming when the cup of the Democratic
party will be overflowing with joy."
Mr. Bryan made a long trip to Har
lem, where he addressed a meeting of
the Young Men's Hebrew Association.
Tonight -he was the principal guest
and speaker at the dinner of the Eco
nomic Club at the Hotel Astor. His
itinerary tomorrow includes a meeting
and-a reception in Jersey City, after
which he will speak in Passaic. He
will speak in Newark at night.
Six. hundred auditors gave Mr. Bryan
an enthusiastic welcome at the meet
ing of the Young Men's Hebrew Asso
ciation, where he lauded the racial
achievements of the Hebrews. Speak
ing of the Hebrews, Mr. Bryan said:
"1 am not complimenting you when
I say that history affords us no higher
type of men than the Hebrews, both
for their influence upon human des
tiny and upori the thought of the
world. Go where you will, you will
find that the Hebrew has won the
highest distinction in all that concerns
business in every great enterprise. In
the business of banking he is promi
nent above every other race. I think
tlere is less of pauperism, less of
crime among Hebrews. I think it can
he said deservedly of that race you
represent, that in the highest walks,
intellectual and political, your people
have proven their capacity."
SQUADRON TO ESQUIMAU
BRITAIN WILL- SEND ELEVEN
CRUISERS TO PACIFIC COAST.
Large Increase In the Naval Force
Marks Decided Change of
Policy in London.

which was abolished four years ago,
when Sir John Fisher became Flret Lord
of the Admiralty, and a policy of con
traction was adopted. The North At
lantic squadron was withdrawn from
Halifax at the same time and became a
part of the home fleet in the British
Channel. .
When the Pacific squadron was can
celled, the best ships were attached to
the large China fleet at Hongkong, the
others being recalled to England. Later
two ships detached from the China fleet
were sent to Esquimau, and at present
they are the only British vessels1 in those
waters. They are the Algerlne and the
Shearwater, light armored' cruisers.

shipped to Troutdale under the label
of 120 degree fire test kerosene. Ho
was then handed . a letter written to
Fox over Flanders' signature, which
admitted that distillate had been so
shipped, but excused it by saying there
was a mistake in tagging the drum in
which it was shipped. Flanders said
that was his signature, and when
asked how he harmonized the letter
with his statement, said, "Oh, I sign
hundreds of letters of which I do not
know the contents."

This is the day of the gentle in
medicine. Csscarets have .
supplanted physics. They act in a
natural way, not with harshness.
Most of our dull days are due to inactive bowels.
Nearly all of our minor ills could be avoided by a little
j candy Cascaret.
Also, half of our greater ills.
Isn't it foolish to suffer, when there is such a pleasant
way to avoid it ?
Cascarets save the hours.
They save the time that we waste if we are not at our
best. They bring good cheer. For the blues and ill
temper rarely occur when the bowels are properly
helped.
They make the breath sweet, the complexion clear,
the eyes bright.
All this for ten cents per week.
In the old days, people, let matters run until they needed a large
dose of physic.
Then they took something severe like castor oilsalts or cathartics.
That meant abuse to the bowels.
These are the days of the gentle and natural the days of Cascarets.
Carry a box always with you. For the right way to take them is
one at a time just as soon as you need it.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists,
-but never in bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with C C C
en every tablet. The price is 50c, 25c and
