Ndrton,said by the police and rost.il
authorities to be responsible for ex
tensive swindling operations, is un
"der arrest here. He will be turned
over to the Federal .officers. It is
asserted that Norton has defrauded
.people in all parts of the United
States out of bonds snd securities
amounting to $3,000,000.
In his room were found bonds,
stocks, abstracts of land ' titles', first
mortgages, '' and ' other- negotiable
papers, the greater part of which is I
thought to be genuine, and worth al
most $2;000,000. Othere papers
were found valued on their face at
fabout 1 $1,000,000 more, but their
1 value is doubtful. It is held that
Norton by selling and trading these
securities has made many thousands
of dollars. The postal authorities
say they have been searching for
Norton since January,- 1903, when
he disappeared from Detroit, ostensi
bly to go to London.
About two years ago Norton was
;in Elmira, N. Y., operating the
American Wholesale Brokerage Com
pany. It is also asserted that he
was arrested once in Troy, N. Y., and
also in Rutland,, Vt., where he served
a sentence of one year in .iail for
the fraudulent use of the mails. He
is also said to have done business in
Toledo, Ohio.
Titles and deeds to lands in Ne
braska, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir
ginia and other States, running into
thousands of acres, were found in
Norton's possession. One deed de
scribing 50,000 acres of pine lands
in Virginia and another describing
20,000 acres in Nebraska appeared
to be genuine. '
SUPREME COURT BARS.. "THRU.
Simplified Spelling Not Followed in
Nation's Highest Tribunal.
Washington, D. C- The question
of the propriety of using the modified
spelling in accordance with the order
of. the President was incidentally
raised in the Supreme Court of the
United; States.. Solicitor General
Hoyt was engaged in presentimg the
Government's side in a case and had
occasion .to refer to a long" quotation
in his brief from a decision of the
Court rendered some years ago by
Justice Bradley, in which the word
"through" was spelled "thru."
Chief Justice Fuller held a copy of
the brief in his hand, and when the
word was reached interrupted Mr.
Hoyt with a question as to whether
the extract was intended to be a
quotation from Justice Bradley's offi
cial opinion. "In all except the spell
ing." replied Mr. Hoyt. "Ah!" sig
nificantly responded the Chief Jus
tice, with an interrogative inflection
that caused a general smile through
the court room. The court has not
adopted the simplified spelling sys
tem. LABOR SCARCE WORLD OVER.
Hopes to Recruit Workmen For Pan
. ama Canal From fpain.
Washington, D. C. Through their
efforts to obtain labor for work on
the Isthmian Canal members of the
Canal Commission have found that
there is a dearth of labor in prac
tically all parts of the world. So
great is the demand for labor in con
section with railroad building and
1mnrnrpmPnt9 on a inrM scale
that countries which formerly have
sent thousands of laborers to this
country monthly are now using thier
labor at home.
Leroy Park, an agent for the com
mission, has been in Spainfor some
months recruiting laborers7 and has
found nianv difficulties in obtaining
the Spanish workmen who have
shown themselves so well adapted to
the conditions in Panama. Hundreds
of men whom he has sent to the
canal zone are writing favorable re
ports to their friends in Spain, and in
a short time Mr. Park expects to send
a large number of workmen.

Sheridan, Wyo. A skirmish oc

Tenth Cavalry on Bitter Creek. The
troops had captured fifty Ute ponies,
severely frightening five Indian herd
ers. As the troopers were driving away
the ponies 100 Utes, fully armed,
surrounded the caA'alrymen and the
ponies, stampeding the ponies with
revolver shots and war whoops. The
Indians recovered all the ponies but
five that were killed by the troopers
In an effort to stop the stamrede.
The Indians did not fire at the sol
diers. The soldiers desisted from at
tacking the Utes as the reds greatly
outnumbered the troopers. Troopers
say that, as far as they can ascertain
from rumor and observation, me- In

Wreck f American Girl's" Married
J at e xRevealed , by . Counsel in
Long AddressDivorce Decree
, Prayed For. ' '
-
Paris, France. The Castellans di
vorce case was heard "before M.
Henry .Ditte. president of the . Tri
bunal of First Instance of the Seine.
Neither the count nor counfess, formerly-
Anna Gould, daughter of Jay
Gould; of New York City, "was pres
ent. , '
Maitre Cruppi,. for the countess,
pleaded for a divorce upon the docu
mentary evidence submitted, and told
a 'complete and pitiful story of the
wreck of her married life.
In an 'extended review , counsel, de
clared that the countess at the be
ginning of the suit was not acting
under influence, but solely for the
purpose of ending forever the peril
of the moral desolation of her house
hold. He explained the marriage
contract, by which the regime of
separation of property was estab
lished, from the very beginning, and
stated that domestic difficulties arose
over the question of money.
Ill treatment soon followed, the?
count even striking the plaintiff be
fore the servants..
When he reached the question of
the infidelity charged against the
count, Maitre Oruppi did not mention
names or even initials, designating
the corespondents as "Mme'. A,"
"Mme. B," and so on.
Maitre Cruppi asked that the
countess be given the custody of her
threa children.
The courtroom was -crowded,
'among those present being many
members of the American colony.
The early troubles of the countess
married life were due primarily to
the count's inordinate extravagance,
the lawyer declared. . Even in spite
of their domestic infelicity the count
ess was too good and scrupulous to
begin an action for divorce until she
possessed full proof.
Anna Gould was only twenty years
old when she was married in 1895 in
New York City to Count Boni de-Cas-teltane,
and, Maitre Cruppi asserted,
the happiness of the honeymoon was
disturbed on their arrival in Paris
bv the count's demands for money.
The countess' income was then $700,-
000 and the count allowed her $80
pin money.
In the face of the overwhelming
evidence submitted, Maitre Cruppi
declared, his opopnent could not ex
pect the tribunal to ask for the sum
moning of witnesses, and added:
"Does he imagine by dragging out
the case to obtain forgiveness? No
No! Count Boni's plan to reconquer
his wife's affections is too xtranspar-
ent!" '
The final rupture came the day
after the famous entertainment of
King Charles of Portugal, December
12, 1905.
-The count insisted that they, the
count and countess, go to a shoot
ing party given by a noblewoman of
whom the countess had cause to com
plain. When the count became en
raged at the countess' refusal she
abruptly arinounced her intention to
separate from him and began legal
proceedings.
Counsel placed at $8,000,000 the
total or the count's expenaitures pre
ceding the appointment of a trustee
Maitre Cruppi asked that the cus
tody of her three children be given
to the countess.
