AL OVER DVORGE SUIT Mrs. A, T. Dickey Allegeg That Her Husband Swore Falsely. She Asks the Court to Set ; Aside the Decree Granted Him, Attorney John Darwin Gish, represent- |ing the divorced wife of Arthur T. Dickey, a resident of Monrovia, Los Angeles Coun- ty, filed a motion in tne Superior Court late yesterday afternoon to set aside a de- cree of divorce recently granted Dickey in | this city. The motion will be asked for on | the ground that Dickey used fraudulent ! and illegal methods to gain the decree. last week to secure a warrant for the ar- | rest of Dickey on a charge of perjury, al- leging that Dickey knowingly and willing- ly swore falsely to secure his divorce. Failing in_his efforts to secure the war- rant, the attorney decided to attempt o 1 have the decree set aside, and it is not un- ikely, | is_true, that Dickey will be vigorously | prosecuted for perjury. The attorney | says: Dickey secuged his first divorce by swearing to an absolutgly false statement. In the first | Place he violated the law by applying for a Givorce before he was a resident of this city | for_three months. Dickey and his_wife liv(-d | ir. Los Angeles County. On March 26, 1902, | left home, saying he Was going to this city o look foremployment. The couple were in hard straits at the time and Mrs, Dickey consented | t0 his leaving her for a time. As soon as | Dickey arrived here he began laying plans to | secure a divorce. As early as Apfl 17 he filed a suit for divorce, alleging desertion. In his .complaint he set forth that he hadnot lived with his wife for three years and that to the best of his kngwledge and belief she was living * somewhere in Chicago. "He set forth that she willfully deserted him in January, 1900, | Dickey swore to these facts and we intend to prosecute him for perjur: | __After he the complaint for divorce | secured permission to publish the sum- He published it in the Journal of Com- | merce, knoging that his wife would never have ar occasion to read that paper.

All Federal officials eoncerned were no- tified yesterday by Secretary Shaw of the Treasury Department that the United States Govérnment régards Filipinos as | aliens and that the same safeguards in- terposed against all other aliens should be applied with equal force to the Fili- pinos. He says the courts have decided that neither the acquisition of the island of Porto Rico by treaty nor the act pro- viding a territorial form of government for the island naturalizes the people, | hence their status will continue to be that of aliens. Secretary Shaw quotes from the opinion of Judge Lacombe of the United States | Circuit Court for the Sourthern- District of | New York in the case of Isabel Gomez of | Porto Rieo, and goes on to say that in- asmuch as the reasoning upon which the opinion was based applies with equal force to the citizens of the Philippine Islands, necessary steps should be taken for the examination as aliens of such persons upon their arrival at ports of the United States under the provisions ‘of the immigration and Chinese exelfision laws. e Escapes but to Be Recaptured.

One of the chief drawbacks ta commerce at the present time is the currency question. Mr. Lala is of the opinion that this Government must.give the islands a gold basis, or else adopt the vaJue of the Carabao dollar at an un- fluctuating price of 50 cents. Hle said fur- ther: The labor question is also_a matter that should be attended to at onCe. Chinese to the number of fifty or a hundred thousand shovld be allowed to’land in the Philippines.

Moulton Teached .the men i the nick of time and | rescued them just as they-were about to | be forced by exhaustign and eeld to let g0 the keel of the boat that had capsized | Wwith them. The two hunters were crossing the stretch of water between the Oakland and Alameda moles when_their boat capsized. Lighthouse keeper Charles McCarthy and nis assistant, Moulton, were watching them and commenting on the big sail when over the boat went. Molilton hurriedly lowered the worn-out boat that has done service at the light- house for thirteen years and made as quick time as he could under adverse conditions to the shipwrecked hunters, -] who .clung to the bottem of their boat. After a struggle against the elements Moulton reached them and dragged thema into the boat. They were nearly dead from exhaustion and could not have held on much longer. Warm clothing was given them at the lighthouse, after which they went to their homes. Susa lives at 102%5 Fourteenth * street and Walker at Twenty-ninth street and San Pablo ave- nue. This makes ,the tenth rescue that has been performed during Lighthouse Keep- er McCarthy’s term at the north jetty light, all under adverse conditions be- cause of the inadequacy of the boat ser- vice there. EPISCOPALIANS DISCUSS THE ' MISSIONARY CANON Bishop ‘Satterlee of Washington De- clares Changes Would Be of Great Benefit. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.—Two im- portant topics were discussed at to-day's sessions of the Missionary Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The first, vthich ‘consumed the ‘entire morning ses- sion, * concérned " the _ desirability of a nge .in the ‘missfonary canon of -the h. The principal speakers on this were Bishop Satterlee of Wash- ihgton #nd Bishop Brewer of Montana. Bishop Satterlee advanced ‘many rea- sons ‘'why a change would be beneficial. In his opinion the restrictions placed tpon. the missionary, councjl hampered that body in promoting the, we for which it was created. =New . condRions have arisen, he said, and new methods should be devised to meet’ them. Bishop Brewer argued against.a change, as he believed the organization was satisfac- tory.

The Secretary parried all saying that if '$h a treaty existed he, in the nature things, was precluded from giving its terms. questions, IRON AND COAL LEAD THE LIST Government Report on . Mineral Resources Prepared. All Fuels Increase in Value With Exception of Petroleum. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—The. annual volume on the mineral resources of the United States for 191, prepared by Dr. David L. Day of the Geological Survey, has been sent’to press and will be issued | soon. ‘An interesting feature of the re- port is a compilation of statistics show- | ing the number of working days lost in strikes in the coal industry. These figures include the present year and are brought | up to elate. The total number of days | lost for the present year is placed at 2 | 000,000, compared with 733,802 days in 190 4,873,102 in 1900 and 2,124,154 in 1899. The report places the total mineral pro- duct of the country for the year at $l.- ] 086,529,521, a gain of a little more -than 2 per cent over the production of 1900. The gain was made in the non-metallic products and amounted to $55,065,382, against a loss of 332,156,999 in the metallie products. As heretofore, iron and coal are shown to be the most important of our mineral products. The value of iron in 191 was $242,174,000, as compared witn $259,944,000 in 1000, and the. value of coal was $348,910,- 469, as compared with $306,671.364 in 1900, The value of fuels increased from $406,- 359,351 in 1900 to $442,395,304 in 1001, a gain of almost 9 per cent. Every variety of fuel inereased in value except petroleum, which ghowed an increase in quantity of 5,778,675 barrels, but a decline in value of $9,571,978, due largely, the report states, to the less valuabie character of the in- creased product of the new petroleum fields as compared with the older flelds. Anthracite coal increased 9,021,207 long tons in output and $25,746169 in value. The average price of anthracite coal per ton at the mine was 3205, the highest figure obtained since 1599, and the average price per ton for bituminous coal at the mine was $1 05, about 1 cent per ton more than in 1900 BUILDING AN AIRSHIP IN THE GARDEN CITY Invention of a San Francisco Doctor Will Be Put to the Test. / SAN JOSE, Oct. 22.—Work on an air- ship, the invention of Dr. J. Greth of San Francisco, has commenced in the big carnival pavilion on the alameda, and if all goes well a series of experiments in aerial navigatfon will be made here n the early part of February. Four expe=— rienced aeronauts, under the direction -of Captain Baldwin, the well known balloon- ist, are now at work on the aerial mas chine. For the past two weeks they have been preparing the silk canvas for the cover. This is given coat after coat of oil varnish and will cover a netting made of heavy Irish linen. A light framewopk. will next be constructed and the cam sewed to cover it. The dimensions of the machine will be 25 by 90 feet, and yal it wl.ll be so light that it may be packed in a good sized trunk. Dr. Greth th|nkl he has hit upem the pracucal airship. It will be bulit upon the same plans as the Santos-Du- mont machines. The inventor claims he has benefitéed by every mistake and mis- calculation that Santos- ont had to contend with In the guidance and control of his airship. Baldwin, who has made more than 3000 balloon ascensions, declares tife Greth air- ship will revolutionize aerial navigation. The cost of the machine will be ’&).
