'fi in* 4 §r $ UJJPH 1 €tic toentacrai. A Ar WEDNESDAY, JAN. £7, 19(^9. THE CALIFORNIANS AND THE JAPANESE. Dills have been Introduced in tlie California legislature to prevent Jap anese Irom being directors o£ coiporr. tions in that state, to segregate Jap anese children in separate schools, and to compel the Japanese to live ill separate quarters of the towns and cities. These bills, if hey should be come laws, would constitute real grievances which- the littlo brown men on the -QtUol' side of the .Pacific would be apt to resent. The state of California lins no right tf' give the people of any foreign "country Juit^^r^ot"complaint. If our treaties with Japan are not •rong enough to fully protect the peo pie of that country from discriminatj ing state statjies, it is high time they were amended. The treaties of the Vlilted Stales with' fbreign countries 'cannot be interfiled -with .by any state. If that were not the lav state might enroll" tiie whole counu-y in a disastrous foreign war. it ri: EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES The recent, terrible earthquake in Southern Italy and the eastern coast of Sicily lias caused world-wide com ment on the subject of earthquakes an( volcanoes. It seems to ibe fairly 1 well settled that both are occasioned through the operation of a mechanic al necessity, namely: the gradual cool lug, and.consequent shrinking or contracting of the earth's crust, tak en together with the fact of the great Hiody ot intense beat in the interior ol the earth. 'As the earth's heat gradually de ciines.'through its radiation out into space, the bulk of the earth must ." slowly shrink. Although the dlminv. tton of the earth's diameter may be -very little even "in thousand years, yet It is a continuous operation occasionally there must bo a disturb ance of the earth's surface, anil such disturbances usually occur in the cinlty of volcanoes, where the eartl.s crust seems,to. have its least of resistance. The wireless messages from the reeling vessel were answered by its comrades of the deep, and they came in time to rescue both passengei'3 and crew. Rescue is a feeble- word with which to describe such cries for help and such responses. They are the marvels of the age. They are without a parallel in history.

The district court was in session here all of last week and practically all of the time was occupied conclud ing the trial- of the. Durey divorce case. The case was finished on Sat urday and the decision was rendered by Judge Franklin C. Piatt, who pre sided during the trial. His opinion ill full i3 as follows: In the District Court of iowa. in and f.i Delaware Countv. December Terui A. I. 1908. Bert H. Dure.v- 1 4. Plaintiff,. 1 uiwcr A MARVELOUS ChY. FOR HEL A tragedy-with-a bright side took place in a fog off the coast of Mans, early last Saturday morning: Two ocean liners heavily ioaded with pas sengera collijled vi,th each other. The thick grey veil of mist soon separated the injurW- ahips. T.he(.Florida, the less injured of the'two",was able fe proceejj with its cargo of human freight, but the -Republic W43 .pier to the Mar$. And commenced to to the bottom of lie ocean. There the marvel of the age made re3cue possible. The stricken ship sent out a cry for help. Its masts were trans formed into tongues and its sharp ciy w:l heard for. hundreds of miles in every direction and responded to by other ships like fire companies re spond to a fire alarm. vs. '. Decisio tlertrudc 1211a Durey,' Defendant. The plaintiff asks for a decree of divorce and* for the custody of his minor children upon the grounds of adultery and- cruel and inhuman treat ment on the part of the defendant The defendant has filed a' cross pe tition in which she asks for a divorce and the custody of the children, and -for alimony, on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment on the part of the plaintiff. Nine days have Ijucu consumed ill the taking of the testimony, most of wliicli has been directed to charges of adultery and the defense thereto There is before Court a great mass oi testimony on both sides upon this question, and it is unnecessary to say tliat It is conflicting. Much of the testimony of the plaintiff's wit nesses in .support of the charges of adultery cannot be believed. It is un believable that any -woman would commit adultery In the full glare of an electric light, and unhidden by the view of every parser by.I-t is ab solutely unbelievable that a woman would expose herself in a condition of nakedness to the gaze of a man other than her husband in the pres ence of her little daughter of the age o£ 10 years, the child being also malt ed with the window sash and shades raised so that people within seeing distance might see all that transpired in the room. The testimony ill li gurd to the alleged seeing of the de fondant and her little daughter naked in a room With a strange man is base upon the testimony of the witnesses, Mjss Haley tiiul Miss Eckart. In the opinion of }lio Court these two wit nesses testified to what they be lieved they saw, but lvthink that they ere mistaken. It is probable that they saw the defendant and her little girl in the room nearly, if not quite naked, as they claim they did, and it is probable that they saw some one in the room that they believed to be a man, but they were no doubt mis taken-as to seeing a man there. The most depraved woman on earth would not., disrobe and cause her little in nrcent. daughter to do so, in -the pros ence of a strange man but she uight, while attending to the de rrsands of the toilet and of personal cleanliAess, have disrobed and caused lsc-r .Tittle daughter, to" disrobes and have forgotten to pull down the win dow slyide. Jhe witnesses of tills allog^f incident were unquestionably mistaken, though honest in their in tent to give truthful testimony. .It is highly improbable that a worn an would throw her arms around the neck of a man and kiss him, who had recently had an operation on his face, and from which he was then suffering. There has been much evidence •against the defendant in this respec that the Court cannot believe is true and the Court is of the opinion that, a large portion of the evidence upon which tlie plaintiff relies for the proof of his charge of adultery, can not be given any serious considera tion. There is evidence here that one ol the witnesses openly boasted the plaintiff ot his illicit relations with the defendant that he talked flpon the subject in a boasting way to men and women indiscriminately, some ot whom have come upon the stand and 'testified to the most dis gusting details of these alleged eon vcrsations. As to that class of test! rnony the Court is of the opinion that it is unworthy of belief and cannot convict the defendant of the charge ef adultery upon any such testimony down am The plaintiff lies, in tlie opinion of the Court, attempted to prove en tirely too much, and has used unfair means and methods for the purpos of accomplishing his ends. At tin same time 1 do not find that tli plaintiff ins intentionally done wrong this respect lie has simply been mistaken. dis- According to a Washington ratcli the members of congress longing for the return of spring they never did before.

It is remark able that if these detectives saw a strange man enter the defendant' house on the night in question, should have escaped while the house was surrounded by so many persons in the employ of the plain •tiff, and is equally noteworty that tliesp detectives having seen a man enter the house, should not hav been able to find Him, although at all times thereafter they were oil guar to prevent his e::cap The.Court is of the opinion that the defendant has been guilty of in discretion, possibly serious indescr lion, but there is no proof here upon which a finding that she has been guilty of adultery could he based." I have seen tlie witnesses who hav appeared and testified upon tlie wit ness stand I have seen and talked with tlie little daughter, the party who is said to have been in the room with her mother when she and he mother were naked, in tlie presence of a strange man and after consider ing all the testimony, and seeing the conduct and appearance of the wit- nesses upon the stand, and tlie con duct and appearance of the little .'• Xivafcj.. I ,,sf§ ®8ff§®8 "I *J-r BSfsflPs -v child, who is one of the most inno cent anil modest little girls 1 have ever seen, I am of the opinion that adultery ha$ not been proved, and 'the Court so finds. It Is easy to charge a woman with adultery, and much easier to put a wiong .construction upon acts of in discretion on the part of a woman, ud in every community there are men and women who are only too anxious to^lestroy the character*and reputation of a woman the moment thore in the slightest, ground of sus picion against her. There is, however, eveVy reason why these parties should vbe divorced each has been guilty of ertiel anil in human treatment of the other, and in tlie opiniop of the Court they cannot live together, and nothing that this Court could Say or do could causo them to ever live together again, and while they are both guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment, the opinion oi the Court is that their best inter ests and the welfare and happiness of their children demand that a decree of divorce be entered. 'As before stated, I have talked with the little child Vina, who is ten years old 1 have also talked with Charles and Orin, who are fifteen and thir teen years of age respectively. I find that all three of these children are remarkably bright, intelligent and well appearing children. tfhey arc modest, well mannered* and conduci themselves in a way that* would be a credit to any parent. The elder daughter*, Goldle, has been in Court' with her mother during the entire trial, and she has conducted herself in a manner that is above criticism. There has been no word of criticisir of these children, or any of them, and it is conceded by all parties. that whatever may .be the faults of the mother, she has raised her children :n an exemplary manner. The ..evi dence shows that they have been under the care and control of the mother almost entirely for many years the father was in the asylum in Independence for six or seven years, and since that time has been engaged in work that called hlnr away from home during the most of the working days. The mother lias had nearly the sole care of the ehil dren, and- it cannot be doubted that she has succeeded in making then: good and obedient children that shc has given them the proper training 1j sending them to kcMooI and tc Sunday school, and that in every re spect they are a credit to her good management. I saw the school re port of Charles today and his aver age in all studies and deportment ninety-two and two-sevenths the other children have approximately the same good reports. In respect to the question of the custody of the children the Court is therefore of the opinion that the mother should be given temporary custody of the minor children, and it so onfcred. If anything should de velop in the future in regard to the conduct of the defendant that would require a change of this custody, it will be made upon proper showing. As to the question of alimony, the Court is of the opinion that the de fendant is entitled to alimony. She has been Jargely instrumental in the accumulation of the property owned by the plaintiff. The Court finds# that the plaintiffs property is of the value of about four teen thousand two hundred ninety dol lars, the land being valued at seven ty-five dollars an acre, or twelve thousand dollars, and the personal property two thousand two hundred ninety dollars. The debts of the plaintiff os shown by his own testi mony amount to four thousand four hundred and seventy two dollars and fifteen cents approximately the piokable ccst of this trial, Including the attorneys foes of the defendant's attorneys will be one thousand dol lars, making the total amount cf the indebtedness of the plaintiff about five thousand four hundred and sev enty-two dollars, leaving his not worth, after deducting the mortgage on the land of twenty-five hundred dollars about eight thousand eight hundred dollars. The order And decree of the Court is, that a decree of. cgvorce be enter-! ed in this case, .dissolving the bonds of matrimony that now exist between! the parties. As alimony the defend ant will be given the household gooi! One hundred dollars within SK3» 2HPS To all of which findings, order, de cree and judgment each party ex cepts. Counsel for the defendant will pre pare a decree in accordance with these findings and order, and submit the same to the Court for approval the decree to provide that plaintiff have the right to see his children al all reasonable times.
