Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 6. Mrs. Eliza
beth Floumey Mariana, daughter of
Mayor Tom Johnson, has been granted
a divorce from her Italian husband,
who she married in April last year.
The grounds for the divorce were the
husband's failure to support her. She
was given the custody of their only
child.
The 'hearing took only a short time
and although an effort was made to
keep the proceedings secret a large
crowd filled the court room.

SHORT SESSION
60TH COflBRESS
Will Be Last f 01; .Many a
Once Potent Represen
tative or Senator."
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Washington. Dec. B. Congress will
meet on Monday for the final session of
the Sixtieth congress, remaining in ses
sion until March 4. when it expires by
constitutional limitation. Much talk
has been heard concerning tariff revis
ion and other important business to be
brought up this session, but as a mat
ter of fact it is probable that little else
than the passage of the various appro
priation bills will be attempted. It Is
generally agreed among the leaders of
both parties that the three months is
entirely too short a time to consider
and act upon measures of great Im
portance. Practically all of the members have
arrived In the capital in readiness for
the opening of the session. About the
hotel lobbies, clubs and other places of
resort the victors and vanquished were
K mt-mn tnAav congratulating and
sympathising with one another over the
results or tne iMOvemoer wuiui.
Voted Man Who leave Homse.
Tn th hmiM the session will be re
markable chiefly from the fact that It
will mark the farewell appearance of
many members who for years have been
leaders or familiar figures about the
house of representatives. Chief among
these are the veteran William P. Hep
burn of Iowa, who heads the Interstate
and foreign commerce committee, and
Jesse Overstreet of Indiana, chairman
of the postofTice and postroads commit
tee. .:; . ..
In Representative uversireei ine

stands the needs of the postofflee In all
and his presence Is almost Indispensa
ble to' a proper consideration of a postal
rmrrnnlut on bill. One Of the leatures
of the proposed reorganization is the
establishment or tne omce oi airecior ui
posts. This is intended to be a perma
nent official, and It Is understood that
when' the time comes Mr. Overstreet
will be the unanimous choice for the
position.
. Others Who Also Baa.
The failure of reelection on the part
of Representative Hepburn necessitates
the choice of a new chairman for the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, of which the veteran member
of Iowa has been the head for a number
of years. By reason of the prominence
of interstate commerce and pure food
questions at this time this committee Is
one of the foremost of the house. The
chairmanship is likely to go to either
Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania
or Representative Mann of Illinois.
Other old timers of the house who will
close up their official careers as mem
bers at -this session are Robert G. Cou
sins of Iowa, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee; John J. Jenkins of
Wisconsin, chairman-of Judiciary, who
fell a victim to the anti-Cannon senti
ment In his district: Charles B. Landls
of-Indiana, chairman of the committee
on printing, which controls the govern
ment printing office, and Thomas P.
Marshall of North Dakota, chairman of
private land claims.
. Senatorial Back riles.
Ex-'Tovernor Cummins of Iowa, hav
ing realized an ambition he has nursed
for 20 years, will appear in the senate
to take the seat of the late Senator Alli
son. The session also- will, mark the
final appearance of such well' known
members as Hemenday of Indiana, Flatt
of New York. Long of Kansas. Mc-
Creary of Kentucky, Ankeny. of Wash
ington and one or two others, unless
they are reelected by the legislatures
In their respective states this winter,
it will be the final curtain for Foraker

EVERETT COUNCILMEN
(Special TlMtcb to The JosrnaLI
Everett. Wash.. Dec 6. The first
trial of the recall clause under the new
city charter was inaugurated Tuesday
nigni wnen petitions were placed in cir
culation among the voters of the sixth
Rfid seventh wards demanding the oust
ing of Councllmen Powers and Hllzln
ger on allegations of aldermantc ac
tion to the Injury and detriment of the
city. There Is also a movement on foot
to recall Councilman Brown of the Third
ward, against whom the same allega
tions are arrayed.
This recall action Is the' direct out
growth of Monday night's combination
of the Rapid Railway company's fran
chise which these three gentlemen de
fended, and an attempt is being made
to wipe them from the administration
elate along with the killed franchise.
The petitions allege that the council
men referred to exerted the Influence
and power of their positions to perpet
uate to the injury of the city and tax
payers the Rapid Railway company's
franchise, that had In effect become
null and void by reason of the fact that
the company failed to comply with the
provisions thereof. The charter directs
that a petition for recall which contains
26 per cent of the .entire vote for all
candidates cast for this office at the
last general municipal election, to which
shall be affixed proper cause for action,
shall be accepted by the council, upon
which it-s mandatory that a call for
a special election shall be' made.

OF A REPROBATE
(United Presa Leased Wlra.)
San Francisco. Dec. 6. City Chemist
Frank T. Green today completed hts ex
amination of the stomach of David J.
Balrd, the young millionaire who died
under peculiar circumstances which led
his mother s lawyers to suspect foul
play. Professor Green stated that he
t was unable to find anything of a sus
picious nature In the stomach and pro
nounced the condition of that organ
normal.
The chemist's verdict that there was
no poison in the stomach has not con
vinced the coroner's office that death
was due to natural cause's and a further
Investigation along other lines .will be
made.
Ralrd's estate Is claimed by a woman
known as "Dodle" Valencia, who, it is
said, lived as his wife for two years and
bore him a son out of wedlock. j
Following a carousal at beach resorts
on the night before Balrd's death at his
home, ugly rumors of foul play were
brought to the attention of the authori
ties, and yielding to mysterious tele
phoned requests that . Balrd's stomach
be examined, the coroner turned over
that organ to the city chemist - 1
Balrd had been dissipating and was

Mrs. Charles L.' Moore, of-8701 Nevada Avenue,

Another woman, whose husband is a pointer, writes
