FINAL DECREE
IN ASTOR CASE
MARRIAGE DISSOLVED BECAUSE
. DEFENDANT COMMITTED
STATUTORY OFFENSE.
MOTHER GETSDAUCHTER
Father Has Custody of Son Money
Settlement Made Before the
,; Decree Was Signed
i Not Known.
New York, March 4. The Inter
locutory decree of divorce which was
previously granted Mr3. Ava Willing
Astor from Colonel' John Jacob Astor
was made final today by Justice Mills.
A- decree was filed tonight at 'Pough
keepsie, making little' known that has
not been forejudged.'
There; appears " the bald statement
that the marriage Is dissolved by: rea
son of a stautory offense, on the port
of the defendant, but no money set
tlement is 'mentioned! The name of
the co-respondent ' is not given, and
none of the: testimony taken by - the
referee is available.
The plaintiff may remarry, but the j
defendant may not, The custody of!
William Vincent Astor, a son, is given
to the father, with the provision tlinf
the mother may see him when she
wishes. ;,' The custody of the daughter,
Ava Alice Muriel, Is awarded the
mother with the provision that the
father may see her at reasonable
times. '
Tho settlement of money matters
was made privately before the de
cree was signed, and prlbably the
exact amount allowed Mrs. Astor
will never bo known. The policy of
the Astor estate is , not to 'allow
any money to go out of the family.
Therefore It is likely that no lump
sum ' has been settled on her, but
rather that she enjoy a stipulated In
come while she remains' single.
Colonel Astor is one of the richest
men in the United States and the
Astor estate is one of the largest
holders of real estate In the world.
It has been reported that Mrs. Astor
will receive $10,000,000 outright and
that she will get the comparatively
moderate allowance of $50,001) a
year. There is ground to believe that
50,000 a year is nearer the truth
than $10,000,000. 1 . ; -

Washington March 4. After labor
ing: today for almost six hours in an
atmosphere surcharged With elec
tricity generated by a sharp conflict
of opinion, the senate again failed to
reach a vote on the Postal SavihiU
Bank bill, and took a recuse uutil to
morrow. , ".' . ,,
As a result of this action the legis
lative day of March third li continued,
Tiiere is some uncertainty as to w ne
ther 'final action , will i even then be
reached. When the recess wan takon
Senator Carter, in charge of the bill,
said that eight senators hail expres

the , flow of oratory ,: continued with

when in despair of reaching an end, i
Carter moved for a recess. I

was the technical subject of discus
slou , during the entire sitting:"' and
during 'that time there were many
rather acrid exchanges of views. -
"Senator Hoot .dwelt especially upon
the necessity of protecting the credit
of the country and he appealed strong
ly to the patriotism of .the. senators
iiv that Interest. Carter strongly sec
ended, this appeal, and drew even a
more vivid picturo of lie poslbility
of unexpected national demand for
funds than was presented by the Now
York senator.
Both Clay and Cummins charged
miiooi wan lticonsitency in origin
ally presenting the amendment pro
hibiting the withdrawal of postal
funds from local banks and following
that up with another provision author
ing such withdrawal in contingency
of heeds for funds by the govern
ment. Smoot defended his course as due
to the fact that he had been con
vinced 1 of the unconstitutionality of
tho proposed law without some pro
vision justifying It under the borrow
ing clanse of the constitution. Carter
stated frankly that his change of po
sition was due to the parliamentary
necessity of putting the bill In such
shapo aa to insure a majority vote
for it.
In response to the questions by
Clapp Root said his amendment con
templated the Investment of . posta;
funds In bonds to be Issued here
after. He said h hardly thought the
board would approach the investment
in the $730,000,000 existing two per
cent bonds as some had feared. i
Appealing for a candid treatment
of the question, Carter said even if
the postal funds should be Invested
in government securities little harm
could result, as most of the funds
would consist of money now hoarded.
He declared that the acceptance of
the Cummins amendment would in
sure the defeat of the bill and he ap
pealed to all riends of the legislation
to yield to their personal opinions.
Borah supported the Cummin
amendment. Controverting j Root, be
asserted that the Smoot provision
would be a constant threat to every
hank taking postal money.
The proitosttlon pending, Clapp de
clared, was different from the orig
inal postal savings bank scheme, and
he warned the Republicans that the
"time would come when excuses
would not be taken for broken party
pledges." .

SHIPMENTS OF CATTLE

Without Feed Railroads Con
tend Train Is Unit Govern
mcnt Says Shipment.
Washington, March ' 4. How 'se '
vere a punishment congress has pro-,
vlded for railroads guilty of". violating'.-,
the .so-called "twenty-eight hour
law," pvnishing Tor tho uri'awfulcon-:'
flqement of . live -stock in transport-1
tion, was the bali for a stubborn '
contest - today before -4bo supreina
court of the United States. Counsel -'
for the j;ovenunent contend that tlo-.

arate shipment,1 while the legall rep-s
resentatives of " the Baltimore and '
Ohio Southwestern Ttallroad Com-'
pany insist that th unit is the train,
no matter of how many separate
shipments it Is composed. Some
features of the case resemble the
$29,000,000 Standard Oil case. ,
. Far Reaching Effect. . , ' ,
,TUe outcome of the controversy ..
will f have a far-reaching, effect. i.
Many separate consignments of stock
are carried frequently !n "one train.
so the sum of tbe penalty Imposed
by the law will va?7, from $100 t
many times $100, according to tha
tiled eleven cases afialust thi Baltl

'Company, "ciarinihg thatit had' s
cuij'led as many shipments of live?
stock from shippers In various points
in Illinois to Cincinnati without un
loading the stock for rest, all in vio
lation of the twenty-eight hour law.
.-Limited Confession.
The railroad admitted the ship-'
ment and Its detention ; beyond th
statutory time, but l ' averred guilt ,
of only one offnse, because all th
shipments were carried In one train,'
and expressed a willingness to pay
a fine for one violation. ' '
The district court consolidated "ie ','
cases and assessed a slnglo penalty. '
Thcr circuit court of appeals forth.'"
sixth district reversed that declslc.i.' ',
The case then was brought to th ' '
supreme court by the railroad.
Briefs on both sldetT of ITie controver
sy have been i'.v't with the court.
Counsel for the railraod Is headed
by Judson Harmon, now governor of
!)hio. Solicitor General yownrs, , of , ,
the department of Justice, has di
rected th fight on behalf of the Uni
ted States.' ' ' '
In the brief of the railroad's- conn
sel It is contended thnt the train' is
the factor of offenses, bocauwi live
stock Is moved In trains. s 't
Fault f the Train'. '.
"If there be a confinement in caw
beyond twenty-eight hours during thi
transit ' under circumstances which
constitute a violation of the statute,
it must be the fault of the train."
says the brief. "Congress 'has ,tot
sat whether the offenses shall . bo
per head of stock, per shipment. ier
car load, or per train load. If con
gress had intended that there shouU
be a fine of $300, I he maximum rea
alty for one offense, for each he aa
of stock delayed, or for each Bhln-
ment delayed or for each car load
ielayed, it waa easy to say s6. Bear
ing In mind the rule of strict lnter-
pretation of penal statrtes, th
only reasonable construction of the
statute Is that the detention of all
stock on the same tralu constitute
but one offense.
The Separate Shipment. ,
Several routes lead to the.'coa"! -
slon that the' separate shipment was
