JURISDICTION OF COMMISSION DENIED Also Asserts that West End Improve ment Clnb Has So Right to Prose rate Complaint, Kot Being a Patron of the' Road. The Omaha and Council Bluffs Strott Railway company has made answer to the petition of the West End Improvement club of this city before the Interstate Com merce commission relative to its demand that the street railway company be re quired to grunt a straight 6 cent fare be tween Ojuncll Bluffs and Omaha and to re duce its bridge tolls. The Improvement club has also amended Its petition as sug gested by the commission and has (lied a motion asking (hat the street railway ocmpany be required to set out the lease under which It Is operating the line between the two cities and to produce all of Its books, records, etc., before the commission. The street railway company In Its. answer asks that the petition of. the Improvement club be dismissed. In Its answer the street railway com pany denies the right of the club to com plain because It does not as a club pat ronise the road and ia not entitled to speak for or complain for or In behalf, or In the name of the inhabitants of' the city of Council Bluffs, or of persons or Individuals who may travel upon said street railway line. It denies that It Is subject to regu lation by the Interstate Commerce commis sion because It Is a street railway and not a commercial road. That It Is operating under a lease from the Omaha A Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company which fixes the rate of fares to be charged and it consequently has no Voice In the making, fixing or charging of faros. Further, It de nies that the rate of 10 cents between the two cities is unreasonable because the dis tance Is six miles. It contends that to re duce the fare to 6 OPnts would make It less than 1 cent a mile. It denies that It discriminates and denies that a fare of 6 cents would yield sufficient remuneration or that a fare of 10 cents ln-i Jure, or Is unreasonable, or a discrim ination or a violation of the Interstate act. Regarding Its bridge over the Missouri rives the company states It cost 2500,000 to construct and not $450,000 as represented by the Improvement club; that the Income from tolls is 130,000 a year while the ex penses are as follows: Maintenance (and repair, $6,000; taxes, $8,500; Insurance, . $500; employes, $15,000; depreciation, $5,000, F.

In the divorce suit of T. J. Hatch against Rosa B. Hatch, Judge Wheeler In district court yesterday granted the wife the de cree on her cross-petition. The husband based his suit for divorce on the allegad ground that his wife had deserted him. while the latter made statutory charges against her husband. They were marrlod In 1893 and lived together until September 80, 1904, shortly after they had removed from Oakland, Ia,, to Council Bluffs. Mrs. Hatch was given the custody of their two minor children but the question of ali mony was left undecided by the court. Mrs. Hatch claims that her husband has property, while he denies that he has and In court testified that he had lost -everything and was now working for his father for $30 a month wages. Hatch when he moved to Council Bluffs engaged in the horse business and for awhile cut quite a wide swath. In granting Mrs. Maggie Fry a divorce from Ev A. Fry, Judge Wheeler, remarked: "The only reason I hesltste In granting this divorce Is that I fear It may mean another victim." This remark from the court was prompted by the fact that the plaintiff was tho third woman who had sought and secured a divorce from Fry. Mrs. Fry charged her husband with cruel and Inhuman treatment and failure to sup port. Fry was formerly custodian of one of the local cemeteries. The marriage of the parties to the suit took place February 1L 1904. Mrs. Edith E. Tletge was granted a di vorce from Edward Tletge, to whom she was married April 16, 1K89. The plaintiff testified that In the Tletge household It was a case of "Everybody works but father," and that In order to provide for the family rhe'-was obliged to conduct a boarding house. This would have been all right, she declared, had it not been tor the class of boarders her husband brought to the place. "Why, they would drink, fight, use the awfullest Ungual and turn the lamps over In their brawls.'' -he told the court. Life became too strenuous un der such conditions, so Mrs. Tletge decided to sue for divorce. Cruel and inhuman treatment was the specified charge made by the plaintiff. Hulda R. Bentley was granted a divorce from Loran 8. Bentley on grounds of cruel and Inhuman treatment. A Pointer. Bring In your watch If out of order. I will make you appreciate good workman ship.

President Roosevelt has concluded to Increase the American delegates at The Hague confer ence, a proceeding which will have no ef fect upon the disposition of the Various projects that will be considered at that gathering, because each nation represented is entitled to but one vote; but because of the complexity and Importance of the pro gram It Is felt by the president that the American delegation should be enlarged to permit of a subdivision Into committees If need be. When the anouncement was made last June of the Intention to hold a second con ference it was also stated that America would be represented by General Horace Porter, formerly ambassador to France; Joseph H. Choate, formerly ambassador to England, and Judge U. M. Rose of Little Rock, Ark., formerly president of the American Bar association. The president and Secretary Root have already selected the additional delegates, but It Is not deemed proper to announce their names In advance of formal notice that the second conference actually is to be held.
