TOBIN ALIENATION
SUIT SOON QUASHED
Jury in Ten Minutes Refuses
Claim Against Wealthy
Glass Manufacturer
In less than ten minutes of delibera

suit of Francis Tracy Tobln. a Phlla-
delphla attorney. Instituted against Wll-
Ifflm T Tlltrrln n nla.s Mamifnatlira,

-.-J aU -., - a. , .... ...,-
"-- "o uf..'ii(in' cu nis wue, wno whs
(Mlss Mary Illack, daughter of tho for-
meT owner of what Is now Hog Island,
The defendant and the former Mrs
Tobm are married to each other.
According to Tobln, lip married Mist
Illack In 189J, nnd at her request tho
marriage was kept secret for ten years.
He said that his wife feared that if a
wealthy aunt of hers learned that she
lied married Tobln, tlnce he attended a
different church, she would be disin
herited. Tobln contended that the rela
tions between him nnd his wife were
kindly, solicitous and loving, and that
she visited him eery day nt lili ofllces
and frequently went to lunch with him.
The attorney then said that this
cordial relation existed between him and
his wife until April, 1903, when hu dis
covered that Burgln was secretly paying
attentions to his wife. The plaintiff.
Tobln. contended that this disclosure
blasted his happy relations with Mrs.
Tobln and that hlB martial happiness was
shattered. Mr. Tobln then said thnt
when all attempts at reconciliation fail
ed he Instituted dlvorco proceedings In
the Delaware County courts and Mrs
Tobln retaliated with a countir action.
Tho husband wns granted a divorce on
the ground of desertion.
The point of Issue In the case before
Judge Carr nnd the Jury, In Court No. 4,
was a to whether a husband not liv
ing with his wife was entitled under
tho act to recover damages for the loss
of the love, affections, kcrvlce and so
ciety of his wife.
Attorney Henry J. Scott, representing
Mr. Burgln, did not offer any defense
for his client, but laltf his cane upon
the demerits of Tobln's argument. Mr.
Scott contended thnt hlncc Mr. Tobln
was n lawyer, he knew his case bore no
grounds for an alienation suit, and
nrougnt the action more as a Joko than
anything else. He laid stress upon this
point in tnat llfteen years elapsed be
fore the courts were appealed tc to order
damages paid him.
Several lively tilts arose between
Scott and the plaintiff during the trial
today. In one Instance where Tobln
tcfucd to answer questions and start"'!
In by making a speech on another sub
ject, Scott shouted "You talk too much "
Tobln Institutes the alienation suit to
recover 1100,000 from the wealthy glass
manufacturer.

I YEGGS BLOW SAFE IN
! INSURANCE OFFICES
Reorganized Police Force Fails
to Put Stop to Crime
Wave
Tho third safe robbery within tho last
week, despite the reorganised police
system, occurred today when a large
safe on the second floor of the branch
The robbery was discovered by the
Janitor of the building when he entered
the office to clean It. The door of the
safe was found lying on the floor, while
the furniture and partitions were com
pletely shattered. Papers were scat
tered everywhere,' and there was a gen
eral atmosphere of chaols In the office.
How an explosion creating such havoc
could have occurred without attract
ing "some one to thi scene Is a mystery.
The robbery bears all the evidence of
being committed by professional yegg,
men of the type who are accustomed to
blowing open the safes of postofflces In
small towns.
"The company has numerous branches
throughout the city, and considerable
sums of money are frequently kept In
the' safes In the different branch offices.

WIDOW MAY LOSE PAY
FOR RUNAWAY SPOUSE
Compensation Board Head In
dicates Small Hope for
Her to Recover
The Workmen's Compensation Hoard
of I'cnnsyhanla will not perform the
duties of a domestic relations court
when It comes to rendering a verdict In
n"cnse wherein a widow claims damages
under the act for the death of the hus
band from whom she had been separated
and on whom sho did not depend for
support.
So stated Harry A. Mackey, chairman
of the State Compensation Board, today.
In deferring a decision coerlng these
points Mrs Suslo II. Harris, widow
of Jnmes Harris, 1021 Taskcr street,
brought on nppenl to reeoicr compensa
tion for tho death of her husband.
The testimony showed thnt Mrs.
Harris had not llxcd with her husband
for eighteen months preceding his death
and that she was drawing support from
her mother. It was shown that she
knew her husbnnd's whereabout!? dur
ing the apparent desertion, but had
made no effort to press him for support
either for herself or the daughter,
Jcanetto nnd her son, Reginald, for
whom sho now seeks compensation.
Harris, employed by Harrison Brothers,
Inc., nt Its plant, 3B0O Crtiy'H Kerry road,
was killed by a train October 20, 1917.
.Mr. Maekcy In deferring tho decision to
a future dato made It plain that tho
board would positively not uphold the
actions of widows to whom "their hus
bands are worth more to them dead than
alive."
The board was asked to decide a case
on which probably thousands upon thou
sands of dollars depend. Mrs. Alice
Kelms, Tottstown, brought a claim
ngalnst tho Reading Railway Company
for compensation for the death of her
husband, William J. Nelms, November
30, 1917. Tho decision will deal with tho
question whether employes of a common
carrier are entitled to the benefits of
the- act when receiving Injuries whllo
employed In handling commodities In
course of Interstate commerce.
The board announced awards as fol
lows: For Umrna C. Leedon. as
against Hendler & Krelgel, $7.60 a
week from November 4, 1917, to May
27, 1920; for Mrs. Katherlne Devlin,
as agnlnst the Philadelphia Wool Scour
ing Company, $9.90 per week from De
cember 3, 1917, to Mny 2fi, 1921; for
jenme u. wuson ns agarnst the city
of Philadelphia $9 per week for 300
weeks; for Mrs. Mary Shadel as against
the city of Philadelphia, $9.23 per week
irom January 21, 1918, to June 3, 1919,
nnd for William J. Parker ns against
Joseph W. Ralston, $10 per week for
as long ns tne Injury remains.
In the two years and three months
since tho board was authorized cases
Involving virtually a half million dollars
have been referred to It. Onlv 1 nor
cent of the cases were disputed after
tne Doaro. naa aciea.

HOUSE OBJECTOR BALKS
DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
Four Nowly Elected Members From
New York Temporarily Pre
vented From Taking Oath
Washington, March 14. The Demo-
crats were prevented from formally
taking control of Congress today, when
Representative Meeker .(Hep., Mo.) ob
jected to the swearing In of four mem
bers recently elected In New York
John J. Delaney. William B Cleary,
Jerome Donovan and Anthony J. Griffin.
The new members appeared before
the Speaker'B desk and asked to be

the ground that the soldier vote had
not been counted. It was pointed out
.that the total soldier vote In tbe special
election did not read. 310, while the
lowest majority of any of the recently
elected members was 2100. Efforts then
were made to have Meeker withdraw
his objection.
By electing, the four Democrats 'In

VARE URGES KNOX
TO SUPPORT SUFFRAGE
Telegraphs Senator That
Pennsylvania Sentiment Fa
vors Federal Amendment
As a result of a report from Wash
ington that United States Senntois
Knox, of Pennsylvania, nnd Balrd, of
New Jersey, arc wavering between fa
voring or opposing' the woman suffrage
nmendment. Senator Vare today wired
Senator Knox urging him to voto for
Its passage.
Senator Knox, nccordlng to n dis
patch from Washington, Indicated this
afternoon that ho was not particularly
perturbed over receiving a telegram from
Stnte Senator Vare, urging him to de
claro for suffrago and give tho suf
fragists one of tho two votes they claim
to need to pass tho nmendment through
tho Senate, nnd Intimated that he might
not ncknowledi ( or reply to It,
"I have rectlved hundreds of tele
grams of late about suffrage," said
Senator Knox, "I received the Vare
telegram only a few minutes ago and
have not answered it."
"Do you think you will this afternoon,
nnd what will your answer?" nsked the
I.venino Puiiuc LnDOKn correspondent.
Senator Knox evaded ths question and
replied:
"I'll make my answer In here." he
said, pointing to the Senate, and dodged
Into tho Scnnto chamber to nvold fur
ther questioning.
The amendment soon will come before
tho Senate for consideration. .V dele
gation of Pennsylvania women was re
ceived by Senator Penroso yesterday,
He Is reported as having refused them
his support on the amendment cm the
ground that thcro Is not sudlclent senti
ment in favor of It In this State. He
has made this same statement previ
ously, so It appears he was properly
quoted.
Senator Vare In telegraphing Sena
tor Knox calls his attention to tho fact
that woman suffrage lost In Pennsyl
vania b only a little more than 50,000
votes when It was up for a referendum
In November, 1915, Ho nlso points out
to the Senator that about 22,000
votes would have won for the Issue
then.
Senator Vare's telegram follows:
"At the election held In Pennsylvania,
November. 2, 1915, on the ratification pf
n proposed constitutional amendment
granting woman suffrago thcro was cast
a total of 820,382 votes. The vote
ngalnst suffrage was 441,034 nnd for
suffrage 385,348, a difference of- 55,680,
which shows that a change of less than
28,000 votes off tho anti-suffrage total
nnd onto the suffrage total would have
caused the amendment to pass and have
given suffrage to women In Pennsyl
vania. Since that election there has
been n great change of sentiment nmong
the voters In favor of woman suffrage,
brought about largely by the devoted
and efficient services of women at home
and abroad, In the world's war. Under
nil circumstances woman suffrago Is
bound to come and tho splendid woman
hood of Pennsylvania. Is entitled to fair
play and equal rights at the polls and
to your vote and. support at this time."
GRAIN MEN PROTEST
AGAINST WHEAT PLAN
Claim Rule to Use Word "Gar-
licky" Would Be Unfair.
Discuss Dockage System
rhlladelphla, Baltimore and Now York
grain men this afternoon voiced their
disapproval of the use of the word
"garlicky," that Is to be Used on wheat
certificates found to contain any garlle
whatever. Their cplnlons were voiced
before Oeorge Livingston, a representa
tive of the Department of Agriculture,
at a meeting at tho Bourse. To use the
word "garlicky" would be obnoxious In
the case of wheat unfortunate enough
tc- have a few grains of garlic In It, ac
cording to the score of men who spoke
on the question.
The dockage system now proposed In
wheat shipments received some support
and met with much disapproval. It
was the general opinion that no farmer
should be excused for shipping dirty
wheat and that his penalty should be
the loss of tho sifting. Other argued
that the farmer was the loser In the
dockage at elevators, but In rebuttal
others showed that the grade of the
grain after being cleansd was raised,
consequently the farmer nautrally re
ceived a higher price for his product
This, plus the amount.obtalned from the
rale of the screenings, proved profitable,
The rules for the grading of wheat
that were considered today were drafted
by the department following eighteen
pubjlo hearings throughout the coun.
try, Today Is the first meeting of five
that will be held to ratify or reject the
ru es as arranged by Washington of.
flclaU. The other meetings will be held
during the next week at Indianapolis,
Kansas City, Spokane and Minneapolis.
Foltcwlng these meetings the rules
will be changed If they are found to be
too .severe or not severe enough, and a
general conference of men handling
w!.?aLrfilrm,r"1 Bh'PPer nd buyers
will be held In Washington.
