ANOTHER LODGE
OF FORTy.ODD CLUB
IS ESTABLISHED

A. J. Gardner, president of the
Forty Odd club, received a letter
from Bellingham today saying the
club had been organized in Seattle
and a large number of members
have already been taken in.
1t is also learned that some rep
|resentative of the club VIII shortly
leave for the smaller towns to start
branches. II is the ultimate idea
of the society, which is now a
benefcent one, to have a represent
alive in every precinct in the state.
A large meeting has been called
for Seattle some time during the
month OF January. At that time the
society will probably elect a set of
state officers.
The society is at the present time
located in Seattle, Tacoma, Everett
and Bellingham.

menced when she loaned her hus-
band $4,000 with which to buy the
saloon. She raised this money on
property bequeathed her by her
father, the late Francis Mead, but
now says that her husband will not
let her know anything about the
business. She thinks II must be
going to the bad. however.
The couple were married last De
cember. In August of the current
year she raised the money and her
husband went into the saloon bust
ness. Since then he has treated
her with gross and wanton cru
city" He has been In state of
intoxication most of the time, says
the complaint; he frequents low
resorts with lewd women; he has
stayed away from home three
weeks at time; he spends money
In reckless dissipation; he has re-
fused to account to plaintiff for the
business purchased with her money
and has kept her in ignorance of
the finances; he is manifesting a
disposition to spend all the money
of plaintiff.
Matters came to a focus with
Mrs. Staples on September 30. Her
husband informed her that he was
going to Portland, and put the place
In the hands of two bartenders,
with instructions that Mrs. Staples
should not be admitted to the Sc,
crets of the institution, and they
have excluded plaintiff from the
control and management" She be-
lieves the saloon business has been
greatly injured by the acts of her
husband and she asks for receiver
or the property and the restraining
OF her husband from interfering.
She also wants divorce.

Police Waller this morning when
asked If all the boxes in the city
were to be taken out.
The idea of the police is to keep
all young girls out of saloons and
protect men from being robbed by
women who are classed by the po-
