JEALOUSY ENDS.
IN A TRAGEDY
Dan O'Hare Tries to Slay a
Woman and Her Escort, Then
Dies in Shadow of a Church
STORY ONE OF LOW LIFE
Ethel Penny, Variety Actress;
and Jake Shebina, "Spieler,"
Lie i'll Receiving Hospital

A tragedy in low life occurred on
Dupont street, between California and
Bush, late last evening. Dan O'Hare,
jealous of Ethel Penny, a variety ac-
tress with whom he has been living,
shot the woman. then Jake Shebina,
a "spieler" for resort, and then sped
a bullet into his brain. O'Hare died
instantly, but Mrs. Penny and Shebina
were not fatally wounded.
Ethel Penny is 90 years of age and
claims to be the wife of Major" Pen
ny, who is said to have been in the
army at one time. She has been liv-
ing with O'Hare for the last month.
She said that she deserted Penny be-
cause he objected to her aspirations
for the stage, and then found employ
ment in a variety theater at 406 Du-
pont street. Recently O'Hare became
jealous of a piano player in the resort,
who paid attentions to the woman,
and several violent quarrels have been
the result. Early last evening O'Hare
went to the theater and during dis
pute struck Mrs. Penny on the head
with loaded club. He then left the
place and was heard of no more until
nearly midnight, when the tragedy
happened.
When the theaterswas about to close
Mrs. Penny and Florence Sales, an
other actress, started in the direction
of California street, it being the inten-
tion CT the former to go to Pennys
residence at 80 Lynch street. Mrs.
Penny, fearing that O'Hare might mo-
lest her, asked Jake Shebina, "spieler"
for the place, TO accompany her as far
as the car, and the trio started in the
direction of California street. They had
gone but short distance. when shot
was fired from behind and Shebina,,
struck in the shoulder fell to the pave
ment. Mrs. Penny turned, and when
she saw O'Hare with the smoking re-
volver in his hand, started to run up
the hill. She passed Pine street and
the chase lasted to the corner of Cali
fornia street. In the flight O'Hare fired
four more shots and the last one struck
the woman in the side.
O'Hare crossed to the north side Of
California street and finished the trag
edy in the shadow OF old St. Mary's
Church. He stood undetermined for
a moment until he saw Policemen Reed,
Cannon, McShane. Connor and Special
Officer Paul Schmidt hurrying toward
him. AS Reed was about to seize his
hand he turned. the revolver in the
direction of his head and the only bull
let that remained in the weapon crash
ed through his brain. He died in
stantly.

3191h Mason street. The body of the
man was taken to the Morgue and his
victims to the Emergency Hospital.

MILL OWNERS DUBIOUS.
Opinion Expressed That the Export
Combine Must Break.


PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 21.-That the
combine between the lumber manufac-
turers of the Pacific Coast relative to
export interests is bound to go to
pieces is the expressed opinion of some
prominent millmen. They assert that
the agreements which for two years
past have held export prices up have
served their usefulness and on account
of the condition of the home market
there must of necessity be a disruption
of the export combine. 1t is alleged
that some of the mills have been guilty
of cutting prices md have continued
until the market is undermined
S The looked for result is a great shak-
ing up in the foreign market that will
cause a heavy loss not only to the
mills in the combine but to those out
side of the organization. The latter
mills would like to see the combine re-
main intact, because tssagreement pro-
tects them also. A prominent lumber
man said to-day:
II see no other possible result but
a breaking up of the export combine.
At the time this organization was made
there was a good demand for export
lumber and a still heavier demand upon
the home market. The latter demand
was so great that many milA made no
attempt whatever to ship their pro-
ducts to the foreign markets. Under
these conditions the mills that entered
the export combine were enabled to
maintain almost any price that was
desired. Since then the home market,
has gone to pieces and as the foreign
market is still good everything pos
sible has been directed in that channel
The result is that there has been an
overcrowding and some of the mills
have been quietly cutting prices. This
rate cutting has been getting more bold
all the time and it has been discovered
THE California people are scrapping
about the penalty clause and other con-
ditions make it almost impossible for
a settlement to be made"

JUDGES DECISION.
Judge Cooks decision is as follow

In this case there is considerable doubt in
my mind the residence of the plaintiff.
She swears she has always resided in this
city and county. but admits she has been long
abroad. Whether she be considered a
bona fide resident is very doubtful, but as
the evidence wholly fails TO support the allie
cations OF the complaint in other respects it
will not be necessary TO consider the question
Of residence.
A divorce is asked for on two grounds
first. failure 10 provide. and second. deser-
tion. The plaintiff herself testihss. also
does her sister, that ever since and her
husband separated she has supported herself.
Her apparel evidenced that, she was able 70
support herself well, If not better. than
her husband could. The earnings of a wife
are much community property the
earnings OF husband, and where a wife is
living in affuence. even If she does herself
earn the means so TO do, she cannot secure
from her husband a divorce on the ground of
neglect and failure TO provide. There Is no
necessity for him 10 provide for her.
As 70 the defendant 3 desertion. there is no
evidence in corroboration Of the Plaintiffs tes-
umony that the desertion wilful or that
the defendant had intention OF returning.
A divorce cannot be granted the uncorrob-
GRATED testimony Of the plaintiff.
For the foregoing reasons the divorce
prayed for Is denied and ii is ordered that
the plaintiff take nothing on her complaint and
that judgment be entered in favor Of the de-
fendant.

adjudged guilty of contempt of court
yesterday by Judge Trout and or
dered into the custody of the Sheriff
until such time as he complies with
the court order directing him to pay
his wife, Florence c. Darrow, $40
accrued alimony. The contempt pro-
ceedings are the result of a suit for
maintenance filed some time ago by
Mrs. Darrow. At a preliminary hear
ing Darrow was ordered to pay his
wife $50 a month for her support,
pending the final determination of the
suit. He neglected to DO so, hence the
order sending him to Jail.

FAILS TO GET
Her DIVORCE
Decision Rendered by Judge
Cook in Suit Brought by
Mrs. Violet Aubrey Butler
ALLEGATIONS NOT PROVEN
Question of Her Residence
Does Not Form Part of the
Reasons for the Judgment

The attempt of Mrs. Violet Aubrey
Butler, a former actress we'll known in
the East, to obtain a divorce from her
husband. Guy T. Butler, has failed.
Judge Cook handed down a decision
yesterday afternoon in favor of the de-
fendant
Mrs. Butler arrived at the Palace
Hotel from the East about the end of
September, accompanied by her sister
and colored maid. She created a SEN
sation by the magnifcence of her ward
robe and the luster and extent of her
diamonds and jewelry.
FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
After being here a few days she filed
a petition for divorce from her hus-
band, and on October 2 she and her sis
ter testified in Judge Cooks court the
husband being represented by Assist
ant District Attorney Porter Ashe, who
informed the court that Butler was in
San Antonio, Tex, and would not op-
pose the suit. That afternoon Mrs. But
Ter left for Monterey, and a few days
later the case was taken from the court
calendar, TO be replaced when the neces-
sity arose.
The evidence of Mrs. Aubrey was to
the effect that she and her husband
were married in New York on January
u, 1895. They came to this city and
lived for a short time at the Palace
Hotel. She claimed that her husband
had deserted her some years ago. She
said she was born in this city and con-
sidered it her home. The only other
witness was her. sister, who gave cor

An earlier day was sought by coun-
