SAYS ADAMS HAS
LEFT TWO WIVES
SECOND ONE TELLS UNUSUAL
STORY IN SUIT.
She Fails to Get Divorce, Judge Hold
ing That Disappearance Doesn It Nee
essarily Constitute Desertion- How
the Same Husband Got Rid Of First
Wife Told by No. 2.

Judge John Day Smith held this
morning that mysterious. disappearance
does not necessarily constitute wilful
desertion, and therefore refused d.
vorce to Lenore Adams from John
Adams, until more evidence Of the
man Is intent had been introduced.
Mrs. Adams, an unassumlng little
woman, told an unusual story. In Jan
uary, 1908, her husband went to Spo-
kane, WASH, to make a home. They
had always lived happily and Mr..
Adams had always treated her aHec-
tionately. The husband wrote regularly
from Spokane. In February she re
ceived a letter telling her to ship the
household goods and to get ready to
come west. She did SO. On Feb, l6
another letter came telling her to wait
until she received funds.
That was the last she has ever heard
from him. The Spokane police were
unable to find any trace of Adams.
81 can see no wilful desertion in
that How do you know he is alives'
remarked the court. r.. -,
"But,' exclaimed the wife, he was
married once before and mysteriously
Disappeared in just this same way. She
got a divorce all right. Of course, !
didn It know that when married him. -
Judge Smith pondered awhile, but de,
cided that he would have to have more
evidence. ., ~. -@. -
Divorces granted this morning: Anna
Passage from James Passage, desertion
non-support and drunkenness; Cora E.
Gould from George E. Gould, desertion;
ANNA E. Bruce from Silas M. Bruce
desertion; Mary G.. Scarborough from
Frank Scarborough, desertion. - +

TANKENHOFF
IS TAKEN OFF
ST. PAUL MAN WILL NOT BE THE
LIQUOR INSPECTOR.
Governor Discovers that Man Named
Has Himself Been Fined for Selling
Illegal Goods Opposition to Appoint
1nents in State Senate Subsidies and
They Will Be Confirmed Tomorrow.

One Of the appointments announced
by Governor johnson will not be made.
Oscar Tankenhof Of st. Paul, who was
to have been put on the staff of the
dairy and food commission to inspect
liquors, will not receive his commits
sion.
The appointment was made on the
recommendation Of RI. o'Connor, the
st. Paul democratic boss, who vouched
for Tankenhoff. Complaint was regis
tered, however, and it was found that
last February Tankenhoff, as the pro-
prietor of a saloon, was fired $25 for
selling adulterated blackberry brandy.
E. X. Slater, the new dairy and food
commissioners, protested, and the APP
pointment has been withdrawn. Tan
kenhoff may be taken care. Of elsewhere:
dairy and food staff announced, be-
cause it does not provide sufficient
force of dairy inspectors and because it
contains no expert food man. MI.
Slater says, however, that when the re-
naming appointments are announced,
the staff will be found to be properly
balanced. -@..a ~
Will Be Confirmed Tomorrow.
Governor johnson s list Of appoint
ments will be acted on by the senate to-
morrow morning. Inc fumOr Ol -oppo'
sition to John E. King and other ap'
pointees have vanished.
Senator Daniel Shell, who knocked
out Kings appointment on the board Of
equalization four years ago, called or
Governor johnson this morning in a SO
cial way, and made no reference to the
snubiect. He says he will not make
any fight on King. Some Of the sen
ators hav some resentment against King
because of his attacks on Lieutenant
Governor Jones in the campaign, but nj
one seems disposed to lead an attack or
him, or on any other of the governors
selections. About half the senators are
old colleagues and personal friends Of
strain the present friendly relations.
The officers in the list will doubtless
assume their duties tomorrow.

men talked Of are p: D. Childs Of
Crookston and Oar Hall of Buffalo

pires this year and the name Of G. w.
Patterson Of Worthington has been
suggested, as Mr.. Curryer is now a resi-
dent Est. Paul and southwestern Min
nesota wants a representative.
No change of officers is likely except
that G. R. Smith of St. Paul and B. B.
Nelson of Minneapolis are scheduled
becoming first ana Mr.. Smith second
vice president.

than yesterday, but the storm agai1

His selections will include Han Sach IS
monolog from Wagner's "Meistersing-
err, an opera in which the singer has
made one of his greatest; successes, and

ALLEGED FORGER
IN The TOLLS
AXEL r. BOSTROM PLACED UNDER
ARREST TODAY.
Police Express Belief that He is the
Man Who Was Back Of Forgeries
Amounting to About $4,000 Issued
in August Bostrom Declares He Is
Innocent.

Axel r. ,Bostrom was arrested today
on charge of forgery.
The police believe they have cap;
tured the clever forger who sWindled
Minneapolis business firms out of about
thirty thousand dollars. The spurious
paper was passed last August. So clev-
erly was the penwork done and SO cum
ningly was it put into circulation that
the forger reaped big harvest. ~,
The method was the old one of max.
ing a small purchase and rendering in
payment worthless check calling fol
large amounts in change. The victims
have never revealed just how much they
had lost.
After the discovery Of the forgeries
there was lull, but occasionally bad
bit of paper was thrown out Of bank
showing that the operator was keep
ing at the game, altho not on large
scale. 49,
The arrest grew out of the watch
maintained since August. g..
