It | consists of a massive balance wheel | mounted in such a manner as to | counteract the shifting of ‘the center ! of gravity of the ship. The invention hjtherto has been | tested only in connection with models. but the Hamburg-American officials are g0 convinced of its utility that they | are advancing money and loaning a | veseel for a trial, which will take place {in June or July. Naval engineers re- | gard the invention as a great benefit to warships as it adds to the stability of | gun platforms. i —————e—————— TREASURE-SEEKING BRITONS SELL THEIR SHIP TO PERU | Tra | msport Carries Earl Fitzwilliam’s Disgruntled Party of Fortune- Hunters to Panama. LIMA, Peru, March 23.—The Peru- | vian transport Chalaco proceeded to Panama yesterday, taking the officers and crew of the British yacht Vero- nique, which was engaged in the treas- ure-seeking expedition to Cocos Island.

Ness and[ Proves Collusion Lnsts; Mrs. Theresa Foster, landlady, told | a story in Judge Hunt's court yester- day that ended the career of Mrs. Mpyrtle M. Benson as the wife of Wil liam H. Benson, stationer at 430 Sut. ter street. Benson was granted a de cree of divorce cn the ground of ex treme cruelty after the landlady had concluded her story and Benson had | corroborated it. Mrs. Foster testified that Mrs. Ben-’ son had stated that her husband was a “good thing,” that she intended to be! his wife in name only and keep her- self thoroughly in fashion, because sh¢ knew that all she had to do to get any- thing she wanted out of her husband | Through (h|u H process of tear shedding she said she that he bought her six new hats in an . equal number of weeks. Mrs. Foster, at whose place the Ben- Benson and ancther married woman entertained several Japanese men in/ to the Japanese by Mrs. Foster that. that the | women were married and should not enjoy the company of gentlemen other than their husbands, the Japanese apologized profusely, stated that theyK in question and withdrew, returning no | more. WEDDING NIGHT WANDERINGS. Benson testified that on their wed- ding night his wife insisted on going out for a good time, this by herself. The result was that he did not see her until the next day. Her habit of going out on pleasure expeditions by herself grew upcn her, he said, as time passed, and in answer to his protestations she only laughed at him and told him that | she had only married him because he | was a “good thing,” and she intended to use him as such. This was enough for the court, and the decree prayed for was granted without delay. Decress of divorce’ were also granted | yesterday t¢ Lucinda D. Buchtel from John A. Buchtel for desertion; John W. | Council frI{n Mabel A. Council for desertion ugust H. Heintz from An- nie D. Heintz for intemperance; Maude Lawson frcm James A. Lawson for | desertion; Lottie M. Gabriel from Ern- | est C. Gabriel for extreme cruelty and | failure to provide, and Mary E. Green | from George H. Green for extreme | cruelty. Judge Graham’s new rule requiring the presence in court of all defendants ! in divorce cases resulted sadly for An- | nie E. Ness yesterday. She sued Henry | V. Ness for divorce. He did not an-! swer the complaint and a default was entered against him. Judge Graham | refused to hear the case, however, un- | less the defendant were presem and a | subpena was issued for him. - After Mrs. Ness had put in her case he was | put on the stand and forced to admit that there was collusion between them; that they had agreed to disagree for no ! real reason. Judge Graham forthwith | dismissed the suit and denied Mrs. | Ness’ application for diverce. This new rule promises to cut off collusion cases, ; which, in late years, have occupied much of the time of courts. SEVERAL ASK DIVORCE. Vida Adelaide Phillips asks for a di- vorce from Eugene J. Phillips for ex- | Mrs. Phillips alleges | that Phillips has beaten and choked her | on several occasions. Julia Neer com- plains that Stewart S. Neer has treat- ed her cruelly, and she asks for a di- vorce from him on that ground. Ex- treme cruelty is also the cause of ac- tion in the suit filed by Nellie Lewis | Wise against Henry E. Wise for di- | vorce. Laura A. Tolles sues William 8. Tolles for divorce, alleging deser- tion. Edward W. Treadwell has sued! Scphia M. Treadwell for divorce, al- leging cruelty. Marguerite Hatting complains that Christian D. Hatting has failed to provide her with the com- ; mon necessaries of life, and she sues for divorce on the ground. Clara Rich- ! man Campbell asks for a divorce from Joseph Campbell Jr. on the grounds of intemperance and cruelty. She com- plains that not only does he frequently appear before her friends in an intoxi- cated condition, greatly to her humilia- tion, but that he has acquired the habit of pawning her jewels to obtain funds with which to gamble. . LABOR MEN RECEIVE WORD FROM SENATORS Flint and Perkins Say They Will In- vestigate the Japanese Immigra- tion Question. > The Labor Council yesterday re- ceived replies from United States Sen- ators Perkins and Flint stating that ' the matter of Japanese immigration | would be thoroughly investigated in Washington. The labor organizations of the State are making strenuous ef- forts to prevent Japanese coming to this country and hope to receive aid from California’s representatives in the upper house. President McCarthy of the Building Trades Council returned from a busi- ness trip in the south. He reports la- bor unions in a flourishing condition there and says there is no trouble. The difficulty between the employes of the gluss works of the city and their employers has been settled ac- cording to the trades regulations and a strike has been averted. Both sides made- concessions. —_— e INTEND TO. ESTABLISH .
