THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 21, 1906. K DUKE DENIES Maintains She Is True to To bacco Man. HURLS HIS CHARGES BACK Alleges improper Conduct or Hus band and Alleged Housekeeper at Various Times Says He Kicked Her Out or Bed. TRENTON. N. J.. Jan. 20. Special.) Mrs. Lillian N. Duke, defendant in the divorce suit brought by James Duke, head of the tobacco trust, filed in the Court of Chancery today her answer to her hus band's petition. She states that they were never residents of this state and declares untrue the charges of Improper conduct with Frank T. Hunter. In a cross-bill Mrs. Duke charges her husband and Miss Mary Smith, whom she characterizes as his alleged housekeeper and servant on his farm near Somorville, N. J., with im proper relations at the farm and in a house on Fifth avenue in New York. She sets up a long list of cruelties and asks for divorce and separate mainte nance. Forced Her to Travel. According to her declaration, after her marriage to Duke he insisted upon her accompanying him to Europe on an ex tended trip, knowing that she was unfit for fatiguing travel, because of a chronic affection of the heart with which she was afflicted at the time. On several occa sions, Mrs. Duke says, she begged him to delay the journey so she might get a. rest, but he refused and compelled her to ride through storms of hail and snow in an omnibus over a. large part of Italy and France, the strain leaving ner in a weak ened physical condition from which she has never recovered, "While under the influence of liquor, she says, her husband would kick her out of bed, call her vile names, and on one occa sion, she declares, he struck her with a crutch. It is also charged in the cross bill that Duke drank nightly large quanti ties of intoxicating liquors, which in creased the Infliction of indignities to which he subjected her: that he refused to permit her to meet her friends, engage in ordinary amusement, such as attending the theaters or dining with him at res taurants; refused to permit her to be vis ited by her brother and subjected her to insufferable insults. Duke Spread Reports. Duke is charged with having spread broadcast false charges of improper re lations with Frank Hunter, and with em ploying a force of detectives to spy upon her. Mr. Duke sued his wife in September, 3905, after nine months of married life, naming Frank T. Hunter as correspond ent. In October Mrs. Duke brought suit asking that the divorce suit be dismissed before Chancellor Emery on the ground that Mr. Duke was not a legal resident of the state. This case was decided against her. They were married at Camden. N. J., in 1904, after a two years' acquaint ance. She had already figured in the di vorce courts. She was Lillian Fletcher. of New York, when she married James McCready, a commission broker. In 1S92 she asked for a limited divorce on the ground of cruelty. The husband at the same time sued for absolute divorce on the charge of Improper conduct on the part of his wife with a young Cuban. Mc Cready won his sulL He died about 12 years ago. MISTAKES BY THE PEOPLE Should the Legislature Have the Right to Correct Them? SALEM. Jan. IS. (To the Editor.) By those who are seeking excuses to evade the expectation of the primary law in the matter of the election of United States Senators, it is frequently urged that between the time the people's vote is taken in June- and the meeting of the Legislature in January some objection to the man selected might be discovered that had not been known to the people and the power of correcting the mistake should not be taken from the Legislature. But suppose the same situation should arise as to the Attorney-General or Secre tary, of State or any other state officer who is elected in June and does not qual ify until January and no Legislature to step in and save the people? And the same risk is taken with every state ofll- cer that would be met in the election of a Senator. And suppose such a direful thing should be discovered even a year after a state officer had been inaugurated, wouldn't it be a matter of wise precaution to cstab lish a sitting commission with continu ing powers to Interfere in such matters at will when to them It appeared nec essary? If to protect the people in January from a possible mistake they may have made in the preceding June in the matter of selecting Senators, it is necessary to have a Legislature to sit in Judgment, why does not the public protection ro- quire such a safeguard as to state offi cers, and why should It not be on duty during the ensuing four years? In fact. 5s it not true that the people are not at all aware of the dangers to which they arc exposed at such times as the Legis lature is not in session? Of course there are those who will won der why the people are not quite liable to make a mistake in June in the sclec tlon .of members of the Legislature that might not come to light until January, as in the case of United Slates Senators, but such suggestion would be glaringly im pertinent. Evidently there Is but one class of officers chosen by the people who are not susceptible to thhe influences of mis taken judgments and yet there are great many old-fashioned individuals who still believe that somehow, the people "do no require any special supervision.

JUST COMMON HONESTY If Popular Uprising Against Corrup. tifan Continues, Grafters Will Give Up, Bccaxise Their Business Will Xo Longer Pay. BOSTON. Jan. 20. Five hundred of the leading business men of Boston, members of the Merchants' Association, attended the annual dinner of the organization at the Hotel Somerset today, and heard ad dresses by Governor Josoph W. Folk of Missouri: Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia; Governor Guild, and Mayor Fitzgerald, of this city. Mr. Guild. In extending the welcome of the commonwealth to Mr. Folk and Mr. Weaver, said: Gocraors and Mayors of states and cities pass away and shall pass away and the memory of their titles may van ish an last year's snow, but so lone as virtue and conscience control the human heart, men shall still turn to history for the inspiration of the record of achieve ments, for the righteousness that ex alteth a Nation eternally written about the names of Joseph W. Folk and John Weaver. Folk's Policy Honesty. Mr. Folk said: There have been great reform movements of a political nature in days gone by. but they were merely local. The present re veals a situation of brighter promise to the lovers of good government. Reform shows signs of becoming .universal. In stead of local and transitory. Unless this idea of civic right now abroad in the land dies out. we will pass from the age of sor did commercialism to the ago of high ideals. Even now wealth is not worshiped with the same devotion It used to be. A new standard has been established, new, yet old Just honest), that Is all. There Is nothing a corrupt man or those who make a business of violating laws fear more than publicity and an aroused public conscience. The prisons might be filled with grafters, yet. if the people were Indifferent, grafting would go on Just the same. On the other hand, very few might get where they belong, yet. If the people are awake, grafting can be stopped through the force of public sen timent. The grafters who would make money at the expense of the common good do not know good from bad all they know Is whether it pays or not. They are being taught that official grafting, insurance grafting, trust grafting and privato graft ing docs not pay, and. when this lesson shall have been thoroughly learned, the revolution will be victorious and repre sentative government will be enthroned. The greatest enemy to representative government is lawlessness. The trust magnate defies the laws of the state against combines and -monopolies, and then calls for the protection of the state for his property. The dramshop keeper wants the law enforced against the man who "robs his cash drawer, but thinks he has a tight to break the law requiring his saloon to close on Sunday. The burglar detests the lawbreaking of the trust, but considers the statute against housebreak ing an Interference with his personal lib erty. The boodler has no use for the pick- Socket, but thinks the .statute against ribery is a blue law. Every law looks blue to the man who wants to break It Publicity for Corporation. The people io not oppose wealth; wealth in Itself ta a blessing, but they do object to abuse of wealth. Graft cannot be exter minated fully until special privileges are dona away with and the doctrine of equal right is recognized. It matters not whether this special privilege be In the form of a tariff arranged an to foster monopoly, or a commission to control the prices of necessities, or rebates to favored shippers. Some special Interest at the bottom of every craft. Corporations are the chief corrupters of our public life. The honestly conducted corporations would have nothing to fear from the publication of their expenditures reporting to the Mate their expenditure!; with the proper vouchers. It would then be difficult to conceal the use of corporation moneys for corrupt pur poses. In securing a representative government the Influences of special Interest In legisla tive halls must be curtailed. The free rail road pass is a prolific breeder of corruption. True to the principles of republican gov ernment, wc shall be the most powerful of the nations of the earth: forsaking tfceeo. with a government of and by special in terest, national and private prosperity en a only be temporary and r must finally go as eld nations have gone during the flight of time through the aces. BUS ANGERS THE LEADERS. Do Xot Like Suggestion llooscvclt May Run Again. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. (Special.)

BUDS SWELL IN CHICAGO Warmest Winter Bay In History May Injure Growing Things. CHICAGO. Jan. 2a Something has gone wrong with the weather machine. All residents of this city are willing to swear to this fact. The mercury reached S3 at P. M. today, breaking all records since New Year's day of 1876. when it stood at 65 above. Gardeners at the parks and along the boulevards have become greatly wor ried. The mild rains, light snows and general Springlike weather of. the past two weeks have brought the sap into mo tion and buds are beginning to swell. Ma ple trees arc said to be as far advanced as they should be on March 3. and many of the more or less delicate vines are well along toward the Spring rejuvenation. Now that a cold wave Is predicted for to morrow, with a drop of nearly -W degrees, great fears are expressed lest all vegeta tion now started may suffer such a set back as will cause great loss in the floral and shrubbery display of the many miles of park and boluevards in the Spring.

HELPS THE LABOR CAUSE History or England Proves Good of Sending- Leaders to Mingle AVith Lawmakers and Exert Tliclr Influence. LVDIAXAPOLIS. Jan. 20.--,There is no political office in the United States which I would resign the presidency of the United Mine Workers of America to accept. Wildest enthusiasm seized the dele gates to the mine'workers" convention when President Mitchell used theso words in Tomlinson Hall this after noon. Mr. Mitchell had asked permis sion to speak on a resolution for an amendment to the constitution provid ing that any sub-district, district or national officer upon accepting any political office should resign his offi cial connection with the United Mine Workers and if he did not the resigna tion would be requested and the office declared vacant. In Its original form the resolution was to the effect that If any official of the Mine Workers ac cepted a poll teal office paying $1000 a year he should resign his office, and was aimed at Secretary Dodd of Dis trict No. 5. who has Just been clectea clerk of court of Allegheny County. By two amendments the provision as to salary limitation was stricken out. At first the real intention of the people behind the resolution was not known. It was not until James Warthon. of Pennsyl vania, nnd Richard Webber, of Kentucky, made ringing addresses that the real Im port of the resolution became apparent. Then It was to be seen that It was a hid den attack on William Wods, president of the Pittsburg district, who at the last election was elected Clerk of the Alle gheney County Court on the Republican ticket. He has been asked to resign his position at the head of the affairs of the mlneworkers of the district, but has steadfastly refused to do so. The position, as head of the mlneworkers carries with It a salary of JltflO. The office of Clerk of the County Court carries a salary of :is. President Mitchell held that union officials should be encouraged to ac cept legislative offices, saying: "The history of trades unionism In England for the last 20 years shows that they have taken care to elect their chief officers to seats in Parlia ment and to maintain them in their positions. And the good they have been thus enabled to accomplish is In calculable." At the close of President Mitchell's speech a motion was made tolay the resolution on the table and was adopted.
