SAYS HUSBAND
IS VERY CRUEL
Mrs. Bowhay Files a
Sensational Divorce
Complaint.
Asks for Custody Of Their
Children and Proper
Support.

Margaret May Bowhay, wife Of Leon
ard Bowhay, the proprietor of ladies'
tailoring par1or at 516 Sutter street. COM
menced divorce proceedings yesterday
against her husband. In her complaint
she alleges that for fourteen years her
husband has treated her in a harsh brutal
and 1nhuman manner. She asks the
court to grant her a decree, award her the
custody of their four children, allow her
$3.50 month alimony and for an order
restraining her husband from forcing an
entrance to the Bowhay home at 40
Twenty-second avenue.
Mrs. BoWhay alleges In her complaint
that August 10, 1887, she married Bowhay,
who at that time was in her employ in
the ladies' tailoring establishment at Al
Post street. Within a few days after
the marriage, Mrs. Bowhay alleges. her
husband assumed the management Of her
business and in addition to compelling her
to work for him commenced a course Of
cruel treatment On one occasion, Mrs
Bowhay alleges, her husband locked her
in the sitting-room at the tailoring par
lors and held her prisoner for several
hours. She further alleges that her hus-
band compelled her to sleep on a cot at
the store and that he compelled her to
remain at work up to within few days
of the birth of her eldest child. Ten days
after the child was born he made her
leave her bed and return to her place in
the store. While she was seriously i'll in
boasted that while she was sick he was
spending his time with other women, TAX
ing them to theaters and buying them
flowers. She demonstrated with him, she
alleges, and he cursed her and struck her.
thereby making her illness much more
serious. Among the many other acts of
cruelty which Mrs. Bowhay alleges her
husband to be guilty of are: Using pro-
fame and vulgar language toward her in
the presence of their children; compelling
his stepson, her son by former marriage,
to eat in the kitchen; compelling her to
practice the strictest economy and making
her such a small allowance that she was
often harassed by creditors.
Mrs. Bowhay also alleges that her hus-
band spends $1,000 per month in a riotous
and extravagant manner and that out of
the tailoring business, which, she claims,
yields profit of $500 monthly, she re-
ceives only $3.50.
On October 19 Of this year, she alleges
while she was i'll at home, Bowhay
called and demanded to see her. She re-
fused to see him and thereupon he seized
one of the children and endeavored to
drag it from the house.

WIENER MAKES
SERIOUS CHARGE
Member Of Clothing Firm
Accuses His Partner
Of Dishonesty.
Grave Allegation in Answer
Filed in a Suit for
Dissolution.

Louis Wiener Of the firm Of Merzbach
& Wiener, clothing manufacturers on San
some street, filed an answer and cross
complaint yesterday to the suit for disso-
luton Of partnership instituted by his
partner some time ago, In the complaint
HE'D by Merzbach he alleged that owing
20 his partners incompetency as a cutter
and as a salesman the business was not
paying. A short time after the filing OF
The complaint receiver was appointed
He took an inventory Of the stock and for
E time conducted the business of the
hrm.
Wiener's answer fled yesterday is de-
NAL of the charges made by Merzbach,
and his cross-complaint contains many
berious allegations against his partner.
Wiener alleges that to the dishon-
esty, fraud and connivance of MerZbach
the business owes its deterioration. He
alleges that his partner sold goods under
cost, substituted goods and changed the
figures on the cost tags during the pro-
gress Of the stock-taking. He further al
ieges that Merzbach, since January of this
year, has used every endeavor to compel
him TO consent to dissolution of CO.
partnership at terms that were not fair
TO him. He still further alleges that Merz-
bach represented to him that he had $25,-
600 invested when, Wiener alleges, all the
money he had put in the business did not
amount to more than $500. Wiener asks
for damages, leaving the amount to the
judgment Of the court.

SEATTLE, Oct. 22.-According to Judge
II. A. Day, who has arrived from Nome,
the immense accumulation of legal COM
pltcations in Nome has been untangled
and is not likely to again assume threat
ening aspect to the country. Credit for
the relieved situation Judge Day gives to
Judge James WickerSham, who is tenn
porarily filling the place of Judge Arthur
II. Noyes.
''Since Judge Wickersham has assumed
CONTROL said Judge Day, he has taken
UP and rendered decisions in all cases
where a question of law was involved.
The court docket is practically cleaned UP
and the Judge announced that he would
hold a term of court beginning October
Z will. Jury service. The cases set for
trial are to be peremptorily disposed of.
The fact of the matter is that Judge
Wickersham has untangled the badly
mixed court calendar and by his severely
upright, judicial demeanOr has gained the
respect and regard of ALL If he takes
a case under advisement as a rule he
renders a decision the next day.
Judge Wickersham's executive ability
is something unusual. There is a much
more settled feeling exhibited since the
people saw that he was able and intended
to be arbitrator in fact as well as IN
name.
''One rule Of Judge Wickersham is to
allow no lawyer to secure private order.
That was brought about owing to the pc
culiar position of affairs previously. Nor
does he allow lawyers to reach intimate
terms with him. Still another rule pro-
mulgated was to the effect that jury SER
vice within a year was sufficient cause for
a challenge on a second call to serve"

ANOTHER SCHOOL FOUND
10 BE GREATLY CROWDED
Deputy Superintendent Kingsbury
Officially Inspects the Ever
EFT Grammar.
Snnerinfendenf

Deputy Superintendent of Schools
Kingsbury made an official inspection yes
terday Of the Everett Grammar School at
Sanchez and Sixteenth streets and found
the classes in an overcrowded condition.
In most Of them there were not sufficient
desks to accommodate the pupils and
every available inch of space in the rooms
was taken up with the desks.
IN Miss Grim's class there were forty
six pupils in what was once a lunchroom.
Nineteen desks were ranged along the
sides against the blackboard, so that chill
dren were forced to reach over the desk
to use the board. The desks were only
fifteen inches apart. Similar conditions
prevailed in Miss Lindberg's class. In the
receiving class there were f1fty-five
youngsters. Miss Perl had fifty in an out
side class located in a store, with only
forty-seven seats. The eighth grade had
fOrty-eight pupils present and forty-six
seats. The third grade has siXty-two en-
rolled. The Park School has f1fty-three
pupils in a class comprising the third,
fourth and fifth grades, and ffty-one
pupils in a, class containing pupils of the
first and second grades. In all likelihood
a new class will be formed in the last
named school.

BURGLARS ENTER SALOON
By DESCENDING ON ROPE
Leave Traces Of Their Handiwork on
Drawers, Partitions and Nickel
in-Slot Machines

Drawers, Partitions and Nickel
in-Slot Machines.
Some time between midnight and 6
o'clock yesterday morning burglars en-
tered the Waldorf, a saloon at Taylor
street. rihed a cash drawer and secured
SS SO in nickelS and several hundred cigars.
They made an attempt to break open a
nickel-in-the-slot machine and also to
force their way through a partition into
the jewelry store of A. Aufrichtig ad-
joining. They were evidently frightened
off before completing their work.
When J. L. Hedrick, the proprietor.
opened the place in the morning he found
a rope hanging from the roof through the
skylight. Bottles of wine and a bottle of
beer were standing on the pooltable. A
brace and a bit taken from a, rear room
were on the counter, and a number of
painters tools, taken from an adjoining
building, were found scattered on the
floor.
When the police began their investiga-
tiOns they found that the burglars had
forced an entrance into the building ad-
joining, which is being remodeled, taken
rope and let themselves down to the
next structure Another. piece of rope was
made fast and passed through a skylight
over the pOOltable. 1t was by this means
they effected an entrance and exit. The
police are inclined to believe that it was
some one well acquainted with the place
who committed the burglary.
In their haste to escape the burglars
overlooked a considerable sum Of money
which the proprietor had concealed.
