EAMMETI MAKES REPORT.
Saws Law Is Violated Ir Newberry-
Gov. Hayward Will Not Place
Constables for the Present.

Chief Constable Hamme,t has made
report to Governor Hayward as re-
suit of his visit to Newberry. He says
the law is being violated in this coun-
ty and thinks it advisable to send con-
stables here. Governor Hayward,
however, will hold the matter up for
few days to see what the law and Or
der league and the local authorities
will do about it.
Governor Hayward has been puz-
zled to know what to do with the en-
forcement of the dispensary law in
counties which had voted out the dis
pensary. At first his disposition was
10 remove the constables and to trust
to the people of the county to keep
down the illicit sale of liquor.
Complaints having come from Pick
ems and Newberry counties, Chief
Constable Hammett was sent to those
districts to investigate. Upon his
showing that the officials of Pickens
admit that the officials of Pickens
force the law, Governor Hayward Or
dered constables to be placed there,
but the Newberry situation was not
disposed of pending the action OF the
Law and Order league of that county.
The constables in Pickens will be
paid, out of the proceeds of special
levy of half mill in that county. Mr..
Hammett's report is as follows, ad-
dressed to the governor:
AT your request I paid visit to
Newberry and Pickens counties last
week, and endeavored to gather such
information as would enable me to
make to you an impartial report of the
actual situation with reference to the
enforcement of the law, which report
! trust will prove satisfactory. -
AT Newberry I conferred with
number of the most prominent peo-
pie, both for and against the dispen-
sary, and from careful review of
what was told me am led to believe
that the local officials and the better
element of the citizens desire the en-
forcement of the law, and are en-
deavoring to compel it in the city,
but at the same time am forced to
the conclusion thar it is being viola
ted in certain parts OF the county out
side OF the town, and ! would recon-
mend that constables be placed in the
county where it is necessary to pre-
vent the traffic in whiskey as long as
il may deemed advisable.
From Newberry I went to Pick
ems, where ! found about the same
conditions existing, with the excep-
ton that I satisfied myself that liquor
is being sold in the towns as we'll as
in the country. Here, too, inter-
viewed a number of substantial and
well-posted citizens, eliciting from
them sufficient information to war
rant the. above opinion. learn that
the distillers are again active, and that
most of the whiskey being used is
blockade
"In view of the above facts, I rec
ommend that constables be placed in
Pickens county where necessary"
Governor Hayward in letter to
Mr.. D. R. Coker of Darlington on the
18th of July stated his position on the
matter He will give the people Of
county fair trial before appointing
constables.

SEATTLE. Aug. 23.-At its regular
weekly meeting this afternoon the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, by unanimous
vote, adopted the report presented by a
special committee, of which Judge
Thomas Burke was chairman, relative to
the Chinese exclusion laws and their en-
forcement. The resolutions favor, first

of the laws in far they provide for
the shutting out of all Chinese coolies

nounced for its alleged harsh treatment
of members of the three exempted
classes. students, merchants and trav-

prevailing red tape should be done away
with, and the exempted classes allowed
to come and go as freely as the citizens
of any country. In no other way, de-
clares the resolution. can friendly and

SUES HEAVY VILLAIN
FOR DIVORCE DECREE
Ida Blanche Webster Saws
Her Husband Abused
Her.

george Payne Webster, heavy villain al
the Central Theater, into which position
he stepped from the Office of stage di-
rector at the popular playhouse, was
made the defendant in a suit for divorce
nied yesterday by Ida Blanche Webster.
1 MS is the second suit within the week
lnVoIving member of the Central com
pany, an action for divorce instituted
against Herschel Mayall having been
filed few days ago.
Mrs. Webster charges that her husband
has been guilty of habitual intemperance
ana while in his cups shamefully abused
ner 10 support her statement that long
er residence with Webster would be dan
gerous Mrs. Webster says that last .Julv
ne threatened TO stab her with a pair of
scissors. She says he came home late I
night In an intoxicated condition and
found her in bed with their 13-year-old
oaugnter- He flew into a passion. she
says, calling her unseemly names and
finally fourishing the scissors, with which
he threatened to annihilate her.
She further alleges that on one occa-
sion he roundly cursed her in the nres-
ence of many people in the lobby IF the
Central Theater. Mrs. Webster states
that she married the defendant on Octo-
Der Ii, 1883. She says he now earns a
salary of $45 week, and prays that the
court award her, together with a decree
or divorce, $50 a month alimony and the
custody of their daughter. The plaintiff
resides at 1041 Franklin street.
DEGREES OF divorce were granted yester-
day to Hatty from George Dexter for
neglect, Ellis W. from Ella N Coulter
for desertion, Frances from Alpheus Far
rington for failure to provide and Minnie
A. from Melville c. London for deser-
ton
Judge kerrigan decided yesterday that
neither Mildred nor John w. Ford was
entitled to a divorce. Mrs Ford sued
her husband for a decree on the ground
of cruelty, and in return he charged her
with indiscretions. Ford's present part
ner, Joseph Donovan testified that he
had secretly called upon Mrs. Ford sev-
eral times in 1902 and kissed and fondled
her. This, he said, was long before he
knew Ford, and he discontinued his yis-
its to Mrs. Ford as soon as he met her
husband. However, both were denied a
divorce.
Suits for divorce were fled by e. Gill
bert against Mrs. M. Gilbert for deser-
tion. Kate against William ]. Cooper for
desertion, Eliza j. against Robert l.. Dun
can for failure to provide, Emil against
Lulu Jeffries for desertion and May
against Edward ]. Tiber for failure to
provide.
Judge Murasky made an order yester-
day substituting the Union Trust Com
pany as codefendant in the place of the
late Pierre Priet in the divorce action In
stituted by Evelyn E. Marchand against
Edward Marchand. owner of the restau-
rant that bears his name. Pierre Priet.
who was Marchand's uncle, was made CO.
defendant, as 1t was known that in his
will he left Marchand considerable money.
Recently Priet died and his will was filed,
with the Union Trust Company as ex-
ecutor thereof. Now the trust company
Is made codefendant.
