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 iu wceordamag-withr-thy order
of the President was incidentally
i raised in the Supreme Court of the
United States. Solicitor . General
Hoyt was engaged in presenting 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 ofil
cial opinion. "Iu all except the spell
lug," replied Mr. Hoyt. "Ah!!' sig
nificantly responded the Chief Jus
tice, with an. interrosrative- inflection
Hhat caused a general smile through
the court room. The court has not
adopted the simplified spelling sys

LABOR SCARCE WORLD OVER.
Hopes to Recruit Workmen, For Pan
araa Canal From Foaiu.
i .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 worm. So
great is the demand for labor in con
nection with railroad builuing and
other improvements on a large scale
that countries which formerly have
sent thousands of laborers to this
country monthly are now using thier
labor at borne. "
Leioy Park, an agent for the com
mission, has been in Spain for some
mouths rec -Hing laborers, and has
found man clifriculties in obtaining
the Spanish workmen, who ' have
shown themselves so well adapted to
tho conditions in Panama. .Hundreds
of men whom he has 'sent to1 the
canal zone are writing favorable re
ports to their friends in Spainand in
a short time Mr.-Park expects to send
a large number of workmen. V

pleaded for a divorce upon the docu
mentary evidence submitted, and ' told
a complete and pitiful "story of the
wrpek of her married life."
fin an.eKtended review counsel de
clared that , the countess at. ther 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-

separation of nronerty was estab
lished, from the very beginning, and
stated that domestic difficulties arose
oyer the question pf .money; Jl,-
ill! treatment soon followed, the
co'nit even striking . the plaintiff be
fore the servants.
vWhen he reached the' question of
the infidelity charged against the
cqunt, Maitre Cruppi did not mention
nf.mes or even initials, designating
ther" corespondents as "Mme. AiW
'intte. B," and so on.
Maitra Cruppi vasked that the
countess be given the custody of hef
three 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 thfeir domestic infelicity the count
pi, wasJ:ooIgoa(L-Xind; scrupulous to
begin an action for divorce until she
possessed full proof. . .
: Anna Gould was only twenty years
old when sh was married in 3 895 in
New York City to Count Boni de Cas
tellane, and, Maitre Cruppi asserted,
the happiness of the honeymoon was
disturbed on .their arrival in Paris
by 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
bis wife's affections is too transpar
ent!" "' "
The final rupture came the day
affer the famous entertainment of
King Charles of Portugal; December
12, 1905. : . 4
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 "announced' her intention to
senarat.. from him' and beaan lesral
proceedings. ..
Counsel placed at $8,000,000 the
total of the count's expenditures pre
ceding the appointment" of a trustee.
Maitre Crunpi asked that the eus
tody of her three children be given'
to the countess.

$23,004,228 for tho precedingvyear; '
A continuation of these . favorable
conditions' is reflected in the trans- 4

The available cash balance ori Juno

The national bank t , depositaries ,.'
have been utilized during the year as
a medium 'through which the exces- v
sive accumulation of 4. money Un 1 the :y
Treasury was restored to the Chan- '
nels of trade. About April 1 an unu , .
suai stringency in tne money marKet
was relieved, by the temporary .in
crease of public deposits with depos
