after the District of Columbia hill, on
which n nub committee is now working,
and it is proposed to either include an
Inhibitory clause providing that no part
of the appropriation in the hill shall be
available for the services of press
agents or to call the attention of the
proper departments to the facts.

VISITS IN CHICAGO
Purely on Pleasure Bent, But
Take Trip to United States
Steel Plant at Gary.
Auoclated Pnu
Chicago, Dec. B.—With their pres
cnee in Chicago known only to a few
intimate friends. Baron Thilo Von Wil
mowski and the baroness, who is a
daughter of Alfred Krupp, late gun
maker of Essen. Germany, have been in
Chicago since December I.
The Baroness Von Wilmowski was
Fraulieh Barbara von Krupp. She and
her sister. Bertha Krupp, who is now
married to Herr Gustave Von Bohlen
und Halbach, were known as the "two
richest women in the world."
While friends of the German visitors
assert that the trip to this country is
purely on pleasure, a visit to the I'nited
States steel works at Gary, planned for
today, aroused a belief that the Baron
Von W'iltnowski and his wife, who still
takes an active part in the affairs of
the great cannon factory, are especially
interested in extending their knowledge
of the great American plants.
"She belongs to one of our be-'
l-.milio." "Did her ancestors oaie

suehi Gonzales Gray against S. \\ . Gray
Defendant at the time fhe suit was filed
February 11, 1909. was a hatter on Sole
da<i street. When the case was called
yesterday in the Thirty-seventh District
court it was dismissed by the wife, a
reconciliation having been effected
since the filing of the suit.
David J. I*owell, attorney for Mrs
Gray in instituting the cause, then in
tervened and asked judgment against
the husband for the amount of his fees,
a total of $739.
It was argued to the court that it
would be rather crude justice to col
lect from the husband fees for a suit
with whose bringing he had no connec
tion and in which he appeared as de
fendant. On the other hand the claim
was set up that a husband is responsible
for his wife’s debts, and a reconcilia
tion having been effected, he should
pay the fee.
’l’he case is being tried before a jury,
ft will be concluded this afternoon.

FOR PENSION INCREASE
Between Three and Four Thou
sand Private Pension Bills
Now- Before That Body.
Associated Press.
M'avliiugtou, Dee. X.— Kegardless of
the recent uhl-age pension legislation,
providing a pension of not less than $l2
per mouth for practically all of the old
soldiers of the country, congress is still
being importuned for increases to al
most as great an extent as before the
general legislation was enacted. Of the
three or four thousand private bills al
ready presented in the house a large
majority are for private pensions and
the indications are that many more will
be introduced early in the session.
At its first meeting yesterday the
house committee tackled the large pile
of such measures before it. and favora
ble reports were ordered on about 450
of them. These reports pertain to eases
whieh had been investigated by th»
committees examined since the last ses
sion.
