HUSBAND UNABLE TO
PAY THE HOTEL BILLS
Pretty Mrs. Sargent Given a Divorce.
Attorney DavidsOn's Wife Wants
Separation.

A handsome young woman ap-
peared at noon yesterday in Superior
Judge Grahams courtroom and after
very brief recital of neglect, deser-
ton and cruelty was granted an inter-
locutory decree of divorce. The case
was that of Gertrude M. Sargent
against George T. Sargent, an adver-
tising solicitor. They were married
at Chicago July %, 1901, and have
separated six times since because of
his inability to pay hotel bills and
household expenses. In an amended
complaint which was not submitted to
the consideration of the court she re-
cites the details of their troubles,
which included his inability to pay
the landlord at the Manitou Hotel in
Salt Lake, their housekeeping ex-
penses in cottage in the same city,
and various tradesmen and landlords
at Los Angeles and San Rafael. Sew

she left him and went to her mother
in Denver, but upon representations
from him as to his Willingness and
ability to support her in the style she
had been used to, she returned to him
for periods ranging from one to four
months. At San Rafael he is said to
have shaken her and applied vile cpl
thets and in December of last year he
repeated the insult on the streets of
San Francisco.

Wright are Mrs. Davidson's attor-
neys.
In the case of Benson against Ben

Nominee May Decline
.s.s to Enter Race for
Presidency.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,. July 5.-Thomas
f. Watson of Georgia, for President,
and Thomas T. Tibbles of Nebraska.
for Vice President, were nominated by
the Populist convention to-day. The
names of William V. Allen Of Nebraska
and Samuel w. Williams of Indiana
were placed before the convention for
President, but before the list of States
had been completed in the roll call they
were withdrawn and Watson was nomi-
mated by acclamation.
Former Senator Allen made good his
word that he would not enter into any
scramble for the nomination. and while
the nominations were being made he
twice instructed the chairman of the
Nebraska delegation to say his name
must not go before the convention. In
the face of this, however. he received
more than forty votes.
Whether Watson will accept the nomi-
nation or not no one in the convention
seemed to know, and all efforts to OBJ
tain some definite information from
Watsons friends failed. Watson was
quoted as having said that if the Dem
ocrats at st. Louis nominated Hearst
he would support him for President.
williams of Indiana received only a
few votes and soon withdrew. moving
TO make Watson's nomination unani-
nous.
There were five nominations for Vice
observation-disclosures H. Tibbles of Ne
braska. Theodore B. Rinder of Penn
sylvania. L. H. Weller of Iowa, George
F. Washburn of Massachusetts, and
Samuel w. Williams of Indiana. The
latter two declined and Tibbles received
practically all the votes on the first
| ballot.
Former Congressman r. F. Ridgley
of Kansas attempted to secure the post
ponemeht of the nomination until after
the st. Louis convention, but the con-
vention promptly tabled his resolution.
| After the convention adjourned a
meeting of the national committee
was held, James H. Harris of Illinois
being elected chairman, Charles o.
France of Lincoln, Neb., secretary, and
George W. Washburn of Boston treas
urer.
The committee on resolutions in its
report to the convention reaffirmed
adherence to the basic truths of the
Omaha platform of 1892 and Of the
subsequent platforms of 1896 an6
1900. The platform then demands
that all money be issued directly by
the Government, every dollar to be
full legal tender; demands postal saw
ings banks; upholds the right of labor
to organize, and favors the enactment
of legislation for the Improvement OF
the condition of the wage -earners'
demands the initiative and referen-
dunn; favors prohibition of the alien
ownership OF lands; demands the
withdrawal of special privileges to
trusts and monopolies, and declares
that the Government should own and

] telephone systems and should provide
| a parcels post.
The platform was adopted unani-
mously.

OYSTER BAY, L. l.. July 5.-Pres-

first public business he has taken up
since his arrival here on Saturday.
While nothing of serious importance
was considered. he and Secretary
Loeb spent two or three hours in dis

The President has not yet taken UP
the question of the appointment of a

appointment will be announced.

honors in the north and there they
must remain. Argument and protest

formidable opposition to Tarpey's
