BIGAMY ALLOWED BY LAW
Illinois Attorney Makes Startling
Announcement About Divorce.
CHICAGO. April 25. (Special.)
Bigamy In Illinois Is sanctioned by law,
according to John F. Geetlng. attorney
and professor In Kent College of Law.
Speaking today at Northwestern Uni
versity Law School on the subject.
Absurdities In Our Laws." he pointed
out how a man can marry, divorce and
remarry and then. If wife No. 1 takes
certain action, he may have two wives.
both of whom he Is bound to acknowl
edge as legal helpmeets.
"A decree of divorce gives the Im
plied right to, remarry after the lapse
of a year from the time the decree is
granted.- he explained. "However, the
first wife Is vested with the right to
sue out an appeal on a writ of error
any time within three years after the
granting of the decree. Supposing the
man married within a year after his
divorce. Then If his first wife caused
the divorce decree to be set aside, his
second marriage would in no way be
annulled. He would find himself a
bigamist. By similar proceedings one
woman might find herself married to
two men.
"This situation should be remedied.
The question Is a serious one and de
serves the attention of the Legisla
ture." CO-EDS SCORN MARRIAGE

WASHINGTON. April 15. Differences
between the regular and Insurgent Re

morrow afternoon to consider the as

Two sessions of the committee were

which they said were unreasonable.
The regulars have a large majority

th Insurgents may carry their de
mands to the floor of the Senate, which,
leaders In both factions admit, would
bring about a party spilt.
Four points of difference remain to
be settled. La Follette wants to go
on Interstate commerce, Cummins on
finance, Brlstow on foreign relations
and Bourne on appropriations. All of
these are members of the committee on
committees. Apparently there Is no
difficulty about the assignments given
by th regulars to members of the In
surgent faction who are not on the
committee on committees. La Follette
declined a place on appropriations and
urged that It be given to Bourne.
Issue Clearly Defined.
The Issue between the regulars and
insurgents Is clearly defined, according
to the views of each faction. The
regulars Insist they have given the In

entitled under the rules laid down:

SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 25. (Spe
claL) United States Senator Isaac M.
Stephenson, of Wisconsin, was brought
into the Helm Inquiry today In a sen
sational story of how Edward Hlnes

Hlnes of hla connection with the Wis
consln Senator as well as the Illinois
Senator was made at the cigar-stand
of the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago
in May. 1909, according to Cook.
Cook's testimony was preceded by
other exciting developments. The Helm
committee asked the Senate to cite Ed
ward Tilden, the packer, William C.

known to the photographer, who
trained his camera on him.
"Drop that camera or I'll shoot you

AGED MARINER IS
. MAROONED 3 DAYS
FALSE TEETH LOST, OXION AND
BUTTER ONLY FOOD.
Captain Frank, 68, Wrecked Near
Cape Flattery, Makes Shore on
Raft, Walks 80 Miles.
SEATTLE, ' Wash., April 25. (Spe
cial.) No sea story by Stevenson pic
tures more harrowing experience than
that of Captain Charles Frank, aged
68 years, who reached Seattle after
haying been wrecked with the power
schooner Stockholm on Ozett Rocks,
the graveyard of the Pacific, 16 miles
south of Flattery.
Captain Frank was marooned alone
for three days, three miles from the
mainland. After a number of futile at
tempts, he constructed a raft, on which
he managed to make the shore. He
walked 30 miles to an Indian reserva
tion, where he was cared for until he
was strong enough to walk to Neah
Bay.
During the time between the wreck
and his arrival at the Indians' - camp.
Captain Frank had for food one onion
and a piece of butter the size of a
man's nst, which had washed ashore.
Captain Frank's hardship was in
creased by the fact that he lost his
false teeth when he was washed on
Ozett Rocks and could mactlcate his
scant provender only with greatest dif
ficulty. TONS OF SALMON CACHED

heavy with imprisoned fish that It
could hardly be raised from the water,
Individual fishermen have been out

JOKER FOUND IN NEW CODE
Washington Companies Cannot
Write Boiler Insurance.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 26. (Spe
cial.) H. E. Llppman, president of the
Liability Underwriters of Washington,
announces that a Joker has been dis
covered in the new insurance code
which will prevent every Insurance
company, represented in ths state, from
writing boiler or sprinkler Insurance.
Senator John A. Whalley, who fathered
tho new code, represents many com
panies, but they are all cut out by a
clause which limits this business to
companies writing such Insurance ex
clusively. There is only one company In the
world which can now operato in this
state, the Hartford Steam Boiler Insur
ance Company. Apparently it can fix
Its own prices.

Ad-Ice to Lovelorn Column in Pitts

"Coiirtin" at Women's Depart
ment of Technical Institute.
PITTSBURG. April 23. (Special.) .
One girl student at the Margaret Mor
rison Carnegie School, the women's
branch of the Carnegie Technical
Schools, has been suspended because
she was suffering from what the fac
ulty calls "puppy love," but what she
thinks Is the real thing, other girls are
In a panic and Master Cupid Is hiding
in Panther Hollow, Schenley Park,
where the schools are situated.
The professional adviser of that por
tion of Pittsburg's youthful population
which suffers from "puppy love" and
which writes to the newspaper em
ploying this friend of the lovesick for
advice, probably realizes by this time
that her advice Is as nothing In the
way of wholesome effect compared to
the application of a barrel stave by a
stern parent.
An instructor In the Carnegie School
perused the "cupid page" of a dally
paper and found a letter from a "tech"
school girl.
Charms Are Described.
The writer minutely described her
charms, asked whether she was to be
considered pretty, told of her love
affair with a young man and asked
the guardian of "puppy lovers" If she
thought the youth really had serious
Intentions.
But alas, the little girl signed herself
"M. M. C. S. Student." the mystic let
ters stanjiing for Margaret Morrison
Carnegie School. The instructor Im
mediately Informed the other members
of the faculty and the student who had
described herself so minutely was
given the "third degree" and confessed.
Then she was suspended.
W. P. Field, secretary of the board
of trustees of Carnegie Technical
Schools, made the following statement
today:
"Action by the faculty was taken In
this case In order to maintain the disci
pline of the Institution. While the of
fense is entirely within the province
of the faculty to pass upon, the mem
bers exceedingly regret the publicity
given the case. The girl has been sus
pended for the rest of the term, but
probably will be allowed to enter the
June examinations."
Some members of the faculty spoke
of the culprit as a foolish, Indiscreet
child, and smiled Indulgently.
Other girls at the school who have
been letting "Tech" boys carry their
books and pay their car fare are much
wrought up since the members of the
faculty have barred Dan Cupid.
NEAR-MAGIC SAVES JEWEL
Woman's Brooch Sticks on Auto
Tire and Travels 1000 Miles.
OCEAN PARK, CaL, April 25. (Spe
cial.) Near-magic has been discovered
In a diamond brooch by Mrs. Walter
Keating, wife of one of the wealthy
heirs of the late nitrate king.
Though the brooch fell from her waist
into the street. It was neither lost nor
harmed. Mrs. Keating dropped the Jewel
nearly two weeks ago, while automobll-
ing with her husband, and both mourned
it as lost. It was set with 20 fine gems.
They searched the streets for hours and
had given up hope when a message
reached them from their garage today
stating that the precious article had
been found.
It had fallen In such a way that tha
sharp end Imbedded Itself in one of the
automobile tires with the brooch proper
on the side of ths wheel, so It came In
contact with nothing. It is estimated
that the brooch was carried more than
1000 miles.
COUGAR'S CLUTCH GRAZED
Brute Springs at Farmhand Near
Centralla Animal Wounded.
CENTRALIA. Wash., April 25. (Spe
cial.) Peter Slmonds, a farmhand,
barely grazed death In trie clutches of
a big cougar last night.
Slmonds was walking through ths
woods five miles east of Centralla on
his way to town when he heard a
rustle In the trees. Glancing up he saw
a big cougar crouching. He was bare
ly able to Jump aside before the beast
sprang at him. Slmonds, who is an
old trapper and a good shot, drew his
revolver before the cougar could make
a second attack, but only succeeded In
wounding It.
A trail of blood leading to the cou
gar's lair Is being followed today, and
the hunters expect to get a few cubs
In addition to the old animal.
