Three Libel Suits to Forfeit
Offending Vessels.
WEARY OF MARITAL WOES.
John Kesvan, Ella Brannen and Emma v.
Bank Seek Separation From Cruel
Comprehensive Blottsr.

@Iibels were filed in the United States
court Yesterday against the steamer East
ern Oregon, the steam tug Pilot, and the
schooner Favorite.
The suit against the Eastern Oregon Ia
for damages resulting from q collision
with the steamer Wolcott at the Seattle
wharves on December "a, 1890. The VOL
colt was anchored in the bay, and accord
ing TO the complaint. the Eastern Oregon
approached at rapid rate of speed, struck
the wolcott. carrying away her bowsprit,
cathead and other head gear, and carried
the woleott with her for quarter of
mile, injuring her $50. The complaint
asks that the Eastern Oregon be sold and
proper and equitable damages be assessed
against her.
The suit against the steam tug Pilot
was brought under section 1870 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States, which
provides that ell steam tugs not belonging
in the United States, towing documented
vessels in United States waters, are liable
to a penalty OF so cents per ton in meas
urement of the vessel towed, and are sub
iect to libel.
The Pilot is British tug, and on May 8
towed the American bark Valley Forge
into Port Angeles. The Valley Forge is a
vessel of / ,2S6 tons, and on May Collector
Bradshaw seized the Pilot for $643 assessed
against her, and began proceedings in adj
miralty in the United States court for the
sale of the tug.
The schooner Favorite was seized under
section 4,377 of the United States Revised
Statutes, which provides that any United
States licensed vessel transferred, in whole
or part, to any person not citizen of the
United States, shall be forfeited and sold
as any libeled vessel. The Favorite was
seized by Collector Bradshaw on April II
OF Seattle for violation of this section, she
having been transferred to Jacob Goleamo-
witch, who is not citizen of the United
States. The suit Is for forfeiture of the
schooner, and the plaintiff wants a mont
ton TO the end that the Favorite, her
tackle and furniture may be declared for
feited to the United States

Three More Suits for Divorce on Ground
of Cruelty.


Divorce suits seem to be growing more
common in this state, and the liberal laws
on the subject tend to encourage this class
of litigation. Almost every day one or
more divorce suits are added to the long
list on the court calendar. Yesterday
three more new divorce suits were begun
In the superior court.
The first was one against Della Keevan,
who figured prominently in the Mamie
Mckay abduction case, which created
something of a sensation last week. In
her husbands complaint for divorce
he charges his wife with cruel treatment,
such as to render his life miserable and
burdensome, and says she drew pistol on
him and forced him to leave the house,
then locked him out. He says she is very
quick tempered and when angry uses very
abusive epthets, and makes false and
malicious accusations against him: that
she does not give him food to eat and but
little money out of the rents with which
to purchase food. John and Della Keevan
were married in New York twenty years
ago. and have lived in Seattle for thirteen
years. They own $4,000 worth of COM
munity property, consisting of three bust
ness houses on lot 3, block 20, of Bell &
Denny's first addition. Keevan states
that the rents from these buildings foot up
$3.50 month and his wife collects it all,
but only gives him 81 Of 1t and will not
permit their tenants to pay any portion of
the rent to him. He claims that he had
to appeal to the neighbors for help and
had to borrow money from some of his
friends to provide himself with the neces-
saries of life.
Keevan wants receiver to be appointed
to take charge of the property. and asks
that Della Keevan be compelled to ac-
count for the rent collected and pay him
$500 out of it for his living expenses pend
ing the disposition of the suit. He wants
one-half interest in all of the property, and
is willing to let her take the other half.
The other divorce suits were brought by
unhappy and abused wives, who sought
separation in the superior court from cruel
husbands. One was the case of Ella
Brannen, who wants a separation from
Thomas ID. Brannen. to whom she was
married in Seattle, in October, 1852. She
charges her husband with treating her in
avery cruel manner and forcing her 10
seek refuge among the neighhors. She
says he is man of violent and ungovern-
able temper, and she fears he will do her
great bodily harm unless she is separated
from him.
The other suit was brought by Emma v.
Bank against Hugo Bank. to whom she
was married on April %, 1852, at Phila-
delphia. She says he was guilty of many
acts of the basest cruelty; that he beat her
In the most brutal manner, and at one
time her life was endangered by his merci-
less blows, and she was in constant fear OF
him. and believed living with him further
would be unsafe. In October, 1887, he will
fully deserted her, she says, and cannot
now be found.

THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

OF the State University.

Full Programme for the Closing Days
OF the State University.
The university session of 81 draws
quickly to a close, and the students are
preparing to separate from their professors
and companions of the year. This year
has been the most prosperous one for the
university since its establishment. The
University of Washington is the Oldest inc
stitution of learning north of the Colum-
bia river. July IL, 1854, congress donated
to the territory two townships OF land for
the purpose of establishing university.
In order to utilize this gift, the legislature
located the university at Seattle July 20,
1856. The cornerstone was laid on May
20, 1861, and the university opened for stu
dents in the autumn of 1862.
During the sessions Of 1890-91 total of
3i3 students took advantage Of the various
courses. The standard of the institution
has been gradually elevated with each sue
ceeding year, while the individual work of
the students during the session now about
to end has been exceedingly gratifying to
the board of regents and the faculty at
large. In matters of health, attendance,
department and scholarship, the univer-
sity has taken high rank, so that it now

Cash Register.
Jack Conklan, aged 10, and Fred James,
aged 16, charged with stealing a cash reg
lister from w. r. Cheasley, were bound
over to the superior court yesterday by
Justice Won Tobel, to answer to charge
of robbery. In default of $3.50 bonds each
of the boys were remanded to jail. The
boys were captured on Jackson street,
Tuesday night by Officer q. w. Ho-
gle. The officer noticed that they
looked sly and were hiding something I'M
til the crowd should pass. The "some-
thing" was covered over with gunny-
sack. The officer crept up on them
and quickly put pair of handouts
on the boys wrists. The weight of the
cash register is about $50 pounds and is
worth about $500. 1t was on exhibition
and was stolen from the front of Agent
Cheasley's store at No. q Yesler avenue.
The alleged thieves would neither admit
or deny their guilt, although they told the
policeman that man hired them to carry
the register for him. The officer claims
that the offenders offered the register for
sale at the Mug saloon.
