DAKOTA DIVORCES INVALID

I
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The supreme j
ccurt again today parsed upon the validity I
of divorces granted lu South Dakota to I
nonresidents. The case was that of Annie
Andrews versus Kate H. Andrews, snd the
! question at issue was as to which was
f i titled to administer the estate of Charlej
S. Andrews, whom both women claimed ai
hueband.
Mrs. Kate Andrews was the first wife.
lKr husband secured a dlvrrce In South
Lakcta after remaining there tlx month.e,
the time required by the statute of that
state. The Massachusetts courts held the
decree had been fraudulently secured and
refused to recognize It. and today's opinion,
which was delivered by Justice Whi.e, af
firmed that holding.
He said that Andrews residence in the
s'ate of South Dakota did not constitute
a legal domicile. The case arose over the
fact that Mr. Andrews' father, Chirlea P.
Andrews. bequatbed certain property to
"the wife of my sen. Charles S. Andrews."
Justices Brewer, Shlras and Peckham dis
sented. In passing upon the case Justice White
discussed at some lensth the question
whether the federal constitution was in
volved. He held that this could not be
for the reason that th federal government
never had any power, control over mar
riages always havlr.r; been vested In the
stutej and never parted with by them.
Hence there was no power that congress
could exercise to regulate or prohibit di
vorces, and it must follow that unless the
several states were permitted to control
the subject of divorce among their own
citizens the eubject would bo emlrely un
controlled. In which case the absolute de
struction of societywouM follow As Mr.
Andrews had been a citizen of Massachu
setts, the courts of that state had Juris
diction and not the courts of another
state.
It was evldrnt. he went on, that the six
months' residence In South Dakota had
been taken up for tho solo purpose of
securing a divorce. That temporary change
of resldenco did not amount to domicile
or to a change of citizenship. For this
reason he held that the South Dakota court
was without jurisdiction In the divorce
prooeeciugs and its decree wholly void.
Neither did It matter If Mrs. Andrews had
been Induced to consent, for a money con
sideration, as had been alleged. The fact
was that the case was one for the Massa
chusetts and not the South Dakota courts,
and they could not bo deprived of their
power.
Justice Holmes took no part In the day's
decision, as when chief Justice of Massa
chusetts hehad delivered the opinion de
claring the South Dakota decree Invalid.
Ask Low for Hawaii.
Senator Mitchell today Introduced bills
Intended to carry Into effect some of the
recommendations of the senate committee,
which recently visited the Hawaiian
Islands. The bills amend tho organic act
so as to make persots 25 years of age and

Conclusion of the Jnry.
Accompanying the return of the Indict
ments was an explanatory report setting
forth the grounds upon which the jurors
based their action. The shortage they
found due "primarily and principally to
the recent great strike in the anthracite
coal fields."
Dl luminous coal could not be mined and
stored in sufficient quantities to supply
the deficiency caused by the restricted cu'.
put frora'tho anthracite mines. First, be
cause tho capacity of the mines could not
be increased bo materially on short notice
and second, because the storing of bi
tuminous coal during the summer month
was Inexpedient owing to the danger of
deterioration through slacking and cf de
struction by fire through combustion.
In Chicago, the report continues, the
amount of anthracite coal received in 1902
was 1,052,637 tons less thsn in 1901, to
offset which there was an Increase of only
797,721 tons of bituminous coal. The
difficulty experienced by the railroads in
handling the large quantity required for
daily supplies owing to the failure to store
bituminous coal during the rummer
months constituted one of the causes of
the famine.
The railroads they believed to bo doing
all In their power to move the coal
promptly to market and the accumulation
of coal laden cars in railroad yards did
not exist to an unusual extent at that
time of year.
"The Jury finds no convincing evidence,"
the report adds, "of a deliberate detention
of cars for the purpose of Intensifying the
difficulty of the condition."
While not finding the condition due to or
principally influenced by any conspiracy In
restraint of trade, and while convinced that
the law of supply and demand sufficiently
Paccounts for the high price prevailing, tho
Jury found that there existed in Illinois and
neighboring states "certain combinations
which It deems to be conspiracies or com
binations In restraint of trade within the
meaning of the statutes," as follows:
Tbe Northern Illinois Soft Coal associa
tion, the Retail Local Dealers' Association
of Illinois and with a certain combination
of Indiana coal operators, the Crescent CosI
and Mining company. While not differing
in character and scope from similar com
binations In other lines of business, the
Jurors deemed It their duty to present tho
foregoing Indictments.
Other associations of operators and coal
dealers "were found to exist and have more
or less effect In the fixing of prices and re
stricting competition, but against whom the
evidence did not warrant action. They are
the Chicago Coal exchange and the Chicago
Track Coalers' association.
