BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
SECURE DIVORCE

Because her husband stayed out
nights" was the main reason assigned
by Anna r. Platt this morning to
Judge Kennan for wishing a divorce
from her husband, Charles A. Platt.
salesman for the Bradley Engineering
company. She added also that he had
a bad disposition and was given to
saying things just to provoke her,
Her main argument. however, was
her beauty of face and form, which
drew to Judge Kennan's courtroom a
large majority of the courthouse at
taches Among the bystanders there
seemed to be no doubt as to her valid
claims to a separation. All of Dr.
Rasmus' arguments in favor Of di-
divorces on biblical grounds only
would have gone smash in face of the
main argument.
Mrs. Platts attorney. Mr.. Soule
seemed to appreciate the situation
and dwelt at length upon the incom-
patability theory until the main ar
gument should sink through the
waistcoat of the stony-hearted judge
which it did. She got her divorce and
her child. She probably could have
had her maiden name. but had not
asked for 1t.

FRED PEARSON IS
IN THE CITY

Councilman Fred Pearson has not
disappeared nor has he left the city.
He was on the street today. Mr..
Pearson is much wrought up at the
account in the morning paper con-
cerning him. He called on p. Bick-
ford this morning at the latter's Of
flee, 33S Main avenue, and discussed
the matter fully with Bickford.
Bickford in an interview this morn
ing said: Pearson was very much
surprised when he saw the article
In this mornings paper. Mr.. Pear
son has been suffering severely from
an electric shock which he received
while working in the Spokane Club
building some 10 days ago. 1t is true
that he has had some domestic trou-
bles, but there had been no steps
taken toward divorce or anything
of the sort. 1t was on account of
his trouble at home that Mr.. Pearson
went to sanitarium about a week
ago. He said that the reason he went
to the sanitarium was because he
could not get rest at home and In
his tollultlon lie Ieeucu rest DdulN.
II do not know. but It is my belief
that the story was sprung at this
time to hurt Pearson in his candidacy
for the legislature. He is in very
nervous condition at present and the
shock of the so-called exposure may
have the intended effect of hurting
him In making the run for the nomi-
nation.
Pearson was a friend of mine and
I saw him frequently I do not quite
understand the actions of his wife.
She called on me Wednesday in re-
gard to some business / had on hand
with Mr.. Peaerson. She told me at
the time that her husband was i'll and
had been at home in bed for two
weeks. AS a matter of fact she had
not seen him for about a week--since
he retired to the sanitarium. She
wanted to take up the business with
me, stating that her husband was toe
sick to write.
Pearson Is around, but does not
! look well. With the shock of this
story which has been circulated about
| him added to his trouble he Is q
very nervous man."

PLUMBING TO Be FIXED

The terrible conditions existing at
the central fire station will be rem
edied soon. At present the plumbing
is In such a condition that the health
of all in the building is threatened.
There is no possibility of cleanliness
under the present conditions.
Chief Meyers took the matter up
with the health office and as a result
a recommendation was sent to the
city council that funds be appropri-
ated to put the building in sanitary
condition. Yesterday the committee
in the city council approved the
recommendation and unless there is
hitch bids will soon be called for
to make the necessary changes. The
plans call for brick work in the stalls
and better system Of drainage All
Of the plumbing will be overhauled.
A great deal of asphalt will be put
down in the rear of the stalls. The
old drainage trough will be removed.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 22.-An
Russia is anxiously awaiting news
from the Peterhof, where the stork
is expected to alight within the next
few days. People outside of this
country can not comprehend the eag-
erness of the Russians for an heir to
the throne. The birth of another child
deep political significance. that can
not fail to have a direct bearing upon
Russias future policy. If son is
born, he will in course Of time be-
come emperor of Russia, and will be
reared under the political influence of
the present czar. thus practically in
surfing continuation of the policy
of Nicholas III.
If the expected heir proves to be
daughter the position Of Nicholas H.,
which is already weakened by the
course of events in Manchuria, Will
be rendered precarious. While the
government Of Russia is an absolute
hereditary monarchy, and while the
will Of the czar is law. yet he can not
transfer his throne to his daughter.
There are certain rules OF govern
ment which the sovereigns of the
present reigning house have acknowl-
edged to be binding. One of these
is the law of succession to the throne,
which. according to decree of the
Emperor Paul. Of the year 1897, is
that Of regular descent. by right of
primogeniture, with preference OF
male heirs. Under this inexorable
rule none of the cars four children
will ever occupy his throne, for they
are all daughters. The eldest daugh-
ter of the czar is Olga, born Novem-
ber Is, 1895. His second child was
Tatiana, born June II. 1897; his third
was Marie, born June 26, 1899, and
the fourth was Anastasia, born June
IS, 1901.
One powerful reason for wishing a
son born to the cZar is to have a
peaceful succession. II Nicholas II.
