THE DIVORCE REFUSED

JUDGE M'aiASTElt GIVES AX OPINION OF SOME IVTEItEST. The Hnbhell Caae la Defore Him for Settlement Other Cases In the Court. In denying a divorce to Clara E. Hubbell from her husband, Samuel R. Hub bell, yesterday Judge McMaster took occasion to state what constituted grounds fcr a divorce and to give his views on family relationship. Mrs. Hubbell alleged In her complaint that her husband war cruel, that he abandoned her and that he had falleto provide. The evidence was to the effect that she had worked part of the time while they lived together and that she had left him. Her lister testified that Mrs. Hubbell and her husband frequently quarreled, which usually started ever a joke, and that one was as much to blame as the other. 1 The case was called for a week ago Saturday, but the husband was not present and the testimony of the sister led Judge McMaster to think the defendant had a side of the story to be heard and he continued the case until yesterday, when the husband was summoned to appear. The husband made a frank statement to the court without any attempt to conceal his own faults. He said his. wife had vcrked at times, but he also was steadily employed and gave his earnings toward buying a home. He said the quarrels were scmetimes the result of his own temper and sometimes the result of his wife's. In deciding the case Judge McMaster said ho saw no reason why a wife should not vcrk when the family is in moderate circumstances and that one seemed to be as responsible a3 the other for the family differences. He said when it was shown that the husband had not squandered his means, anu that the earnings of himself and his wife had gone to the benefit of tho common house there was no grounus for divorce on the allegation of failure to provide. The court also stated that the wife had left the husband, and that simply quarreling was not sufficient evidence to warrant tho granting of a divorce. The judge said it must be shown that one or the other parties is guilty and the other innocent before a divorce can be granted. After the decision, Henry Seyfried, attorney for Mrs. Hubbell, again questioned tr.e husband, attempting to show that he had kicked her and once Threatened to use a razor, but Judge McMaster stopped further proceedings by saying: "I thought I decided the case." Both the plaintiff aw! defendant and their witnesses withdrew, all looking very sober. - - THE TREASURER SUED. New York Investment Company Plaintiff Ln the Case. The New York Investment Company brought suit against the city and Armin C. Koehne, city treasurer, to test the constitutionality of the law providing a penalty for the nonpayment of assessments levied upon property for public improvements. The section attacked reads: "It shall be the duty of theJreasurer In all cases where any owner of property Is ln default In the payment of any installment or any part thereof chargeable upon or against his property, to add a penalty of 20 per centum upon any Installment or any part, thereof, for such delinquency which said penalty when collected shall be and become the property of the city." The company sets out that It Is the owner of a large tract of land on which the Board of Public Works levied an assessment for the construction of the White river main and Interceptor sewer. Improvement bonds were Issued and it is averred that the assessments were to be paid in ten annual Installments. On Nov. 1, 1D00, It Is said, ail installment was due and that when the company went to pay it Jan. 8, 1901, Treasurer Koehne refused to give a receipt until a penalty of JS.14 was exacted for the delinquency: The complaint holds that the law making this exaction is unconstitutional on the ground that the city has no right to increase the assessment by adding a 20 per cent, penalty and that it is in violation of that section of the Constitution which says that "no man's property shall be taken by law without just compensation." THE DAUGHTER WINS. Lnngford Case la Decided by Judge Carter. Judge Carter, of the Luperior Court, sitting as special judge in the Circuit Court, yesterday decided an interesting and long fought case involving an estate of 120 acres of land. In 18S3 Thomas Langford, of Washington township, died without making a will. He left a wife and ten children and there were many debts to bo ptid. The heira agreed that the mother should have a life estate in the undivided two-thirds of the property providing a daughter, El'zabeth, would stay with her mother and assist in keeping vp the farm. A mistake in the contract designated that she held a life estate in the whole farm and did not mention her one-third, the widow's share. ne daughter stayed with her mother for sixteen years, doing all the work about the farm in addition to domestic duties. To her industry was attributed the lifting of the debts and the payment of taxes. Her mother died two years ago and the daughter then-brought rult for $1.535 lor her services,, saying her mother had promised her a compensation for her work. The suit was against the one-third interest of the estate. The jury took but one ballot, which decided that the daughter is entitled to the amount she asks and Judge Carter said m addition to thic amount, which is to come from onethird of the estate, she Is o share onetenth of the rest, with the other children. TEDROWC DIVORCE CASE. Judge Allen Grants n Separation to the Wife. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yesterdr.r granted a divorce to Estella Tedrowe from her husband, Joseph R. Tedrowe, and restored her maiden name, Estella Ray. The plaintiff and defendant were married about five years ago when she was but eighteen years and he was forty-six. Mrs. Tedrowe alleged that her husband waa "stingy;" that he allowed a certain amount of water to be used for bathing on the ground that it wore the pump out to use it so freely; he limited the supply of matches to one box a month for the use of herself and colored domestic with instructions that the burnt matches should be saved and used when there was a fire burning, and that out of an allowance of $15 a month to pay all of her expenses, he would deduct any amount advanced her the month prior to the drawing of her allowance. Tedrowe is said to be worth about JÖO.tXO, and the amount of alimony was compromised out of court. The case was originally filed in Judge McMaster's court, then venued to Morgan county and returned to this county and tried before Judge Allen. In the Probate Court. The will of Mary Wood, prooated yesterday, leaves her property In Morgan county to be divided between Polly Hill, Charles Wood, Thomas Wood and Augustus Wood, her husband's children. Her property in Indianapolis is to be sold and one-half of the proceeds Is to be given to her niece, Laura Diekerson. and the remaining half is to be equally divided between her nephews, William Ii. and Harr rlson Lewis. The remainder of her property. Including personal effects, is distributed among the legatees named In the will. Josephie E. Harriett was yesterday appointed administratrix of the estate of Abram Harriett and gave a bond of $1.0. Joseph Z. Zartman was appointed adminlrtrator of the estate of Jonn II. Anderson and gave a bond oi $3. Kate G. Brown was appointed executrix of the estate of James D. Brown and gave a bond of $4.600. . Cornelias Britton Complaint.

He also charges that March 28. 1SS7, she was married to Lemuel .R, Greenwood, who she -abandoned Dec. i5, ISsSo. leaving two children. He says this husband obtained a divorce.

WATKINS AGAIN AT HOME PRESIDENT POWER WILL DEVOTE ALL HIS TIME TO ASSOCIATION. The New Schedule Will Be a BIr Baseball Problem Some Xcwi of Interest. W. n. Watkins, of the Indianapolis Baseball Club, returned from Pittsburg yesterday, where he went on Thursday, evening to confer with Charles B. Power, the newly elected president of the American Association. Mr. Power has resigned his position as sporting editor of the Pittsburg Leader and will open an office in Pittsburg to devote his entire time to the association. President Power has already taken entire charge of affairs and after his Interview with President Watkins he went to Baltimore, where he conferred with Magnate Clarke, of the Baltimore association club. President Power will be busy for many days perfecting the plans of the association before the playing season opens. He has the umpires to secure, and, it is said, he will experience but little trouble in getting a competent corps of officials, and he has tho schedule to prepare for the playing season. In all of the work that will come under his direction he will have the advantage of experience, as he made a successful president of the Interstate League. . Speaking of schedules, there has been some question about the possibility of conflicting schedules the coming season. In many of the cities It is fin absolute certainty that the schedules of the National, American Association and American League are bound to conflict. There is hardly any probability of - the National League and American Association conflicting In dates, but the American League will be sure to meet with opposition either from the National League or the American Association. President Ban'Johnson, of the American League, will have all he can do to arrange a schedule that will eliminate as much opposition as possible and Cleveland is the only city where he can rest assured that his league will not meet with opposition, as that is the only city in the American League circuit that will not have at least two clubs, ln Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago the American League will have to compete against the National League, white In ths ret of ths cities, excepting Cljvelini. tha 7'.-n Ac-c!-.tlon will b3 l3'er-"""--2. :r . - . i- , , - . .

The American Association will probably arrange a schedule before the playing season opens, biit it is safe to say that it will be subject to change at any time, while the National League will probably not give out its schedule before the season opens. Johnson will therefore be playing a game of checkers all season to prevent his clubs from meeting with opposition that will wipe his league out of existence. The prospects for a bright future for the American League are surely very discouraging. The whole sum and substance of the situation is that President Ban Johnson owns a head that is abnormally large, but does not contain brains enough to cope with the war that will be waged thi3 year. He will wish before many months that the thought of waging war against the National League and organized baseball had never entered his mind. XXX The American Association prospects ln Washington are very bright, while the prospects of the American League ln the capital city are far from flattering. James Manning, who was forced to go to Washington by Johnson, already has troubles cf his own, and it is 100 to 1 that he wishes he was cut of baseball, or at least out from under the yoke of Johnson. Manning has not as yet secured grounds ln Washington, and it looks as if he will not secure a park that will be located where the people will attend the games. The American Association club, however, has options on the old National League park and the grounds lying near the Capitol building. It is said the street-railway company of Washington is in pympathy with the American Association, and that counts for a great deal. Manning has not secured backing nor has he yet secured grounds. So much for his chances for an American League club in Washington. XXX Prominent men in Boston say an , Investment in an American League club in that city will be barren of good results. One of the Boston papers states that Uncle Bill Conant looked up the rating of the Somers concern and found it 4,B. I." This may be translated to mean "bad indeed," but Bradstreet says It means third-class with no capital. With such a rating the question arises where will Johnson. Somers, et. al., secure backing for their Boston American League club. Boston men will hardly go into an enterprise of that nature when there will be two other wellestabüshed clubs in the city. There is a similar proposition for the American League club in Philadelphia. Wr.Ile reports have been sent out that Connie Mack has easy sailing for his American League club in the Quaker City, it is known that he has to file a large bond to guarantee the rental for his new park, and that bond has not been executed. XXX President- Watkins has received the $300 guarantee money deposited with President Ban Johnson last season.' The president of the American League for once displayed good business judgment in returning this money to the Indianapolis c4ub owners. XXX It is said the lease for the D. A. C.

XXX "President James Franklin, of the Buffalo baseball club of the Nowhere league, has arrived home from the American League meeting at Chicago," says the Buffalo Express. "He didn't look as if he had been sat on very hard or as If bis feelings were wounded too deeply for expression. He did . express himself, and that quite forcibly. He said he thought the American League was going to pot, and that it would be a mighty short time before, the magnates of that organization would find themselves up against the real thing good and hard.
