DONOVAN DEPOSED.
BY CHIEF D|NAN

Dissension over the removal of Ser
geant Donovan from his position as
head of the license department at the
Central police station on Tuesday night
came near disrupting the Police Com
mission. Commissioners Umbsen and
Creswell ordered Donovan's removal,
while Leahy and Hagerty stood by the
officer. The former two Commission
ers announced that they would resign
II Donovan were not removed Early
Yesterday morning Chief Dinan deposed
Donovan, transferring him to the Har-
Dor station a service sergeant and
filled his place with Chief Clerk George
Douglas
Umbsen, while making an investiga-
ton into the affairs of the Police De-
partment, learned that Sergeant Dono-
van had recently granted saloon
keeper friend a permit to change the
entrance to his place of business with
out consulting the Commissioners.
Umbsen also learned that Donovan was
in the habit of acting very much as he
pleased as head of the license depart
ment granting favors as he saw fit.
The row among the Commissioners
started shortly after Z o'clock and
lasted for an hour behind closed doors.
Umbsen emphatically insisted that
Donovan be removed from his respon-
sible position. When Creswell heard
the 1acts ne sldeu with OmDsen. nag
erty and Leahy, however, held out for
Donovan. They stated that the SER
geant was an efficient officer and should
retain his place Finally the argument
waxed warm. Chief Dinan was called
in and Umbsen and Creswell announced
that they would resign their places on
the commission If Donovan was not re-
moved within twenty-four hours.
That the Chief was compelled 20 obey
Umbsen and Creswell is evidenced by
the fact that Donovan was ordered to
report to Captain Conboy of the Har-
Dor station yesterday morning as a SER
vice sergeant. George Douglas, son of
the late Captain Douglas, was assigned
to duty in place of the deposed Dono-
van Douglas has been chief clerk un-
der Donovan for long time and is
thoroughly familiar with the affairs of
the Office.

GOOD CONCERT At
GRAMMAR s

A programme of excellent music was
rendered yesterday by Donatelli's Ital-
Ian Band at Graumans Pavilion, where
the concert took the place of the skat-
ing for the afternoon. The nine num-
bers, most of which were old favorites,
were appreciated by the large audience
present, and their familiarity with the
music was apparently an added pleas
ure. One of the numbers which won
an enthusiastic encore, both on account
of it's merit as composition and for
the charming manner in which it was
played, was the clarinet solo by Signor
Zannini. a serenade composed by Dona-
telli himself. 1t was quaint, soothing,
minor air. full of exquisite harmoniea
These afternoons of music are likely
to prove a boon to the musicians of the
city, many of whom were present yes
terday, there being nothing of the kind
to be found here at the present time.
The programme was as follows:
Coronation march from lie Pro-
Peasant" Suppe; trombone solo, Mar
tha.' Flotow, Sig. Cincione; "Traume-
rel, Schumann; grand selection, II
Trovatore," Verdi (soldier chorus. air
of gypsy, Introduction first act, air of
De Luna anvil chorus, prelude and air
of Leonora, act 4 celebrated miserere)

and Zannini; Funeral March," Chopin;
clarinet solo, "Serenade." Donatelli.

duction, chorus and toreador song,

ALLEGES HUSBAND
IS CRUEL MAN

Louise Mary Foran has filed a suit
for divorce against Joseph A. Foran,
whom she accuses of extreme cruelty
toward her, and in addition to asking
for the decree of divorce requests a
restraining order to force her husband
20 be good and stop bothering her.
The cruelty of which she complains is
alleged to have been in progress ever
since their married life began, but
more especially during the last few
months at their home on Jackson
street, where. she says, he has sub
jected her to all kinds of ignominy.
Among other things. Mrs. Foran al
le5es that her husband recently
grasped her roughly by the throat, tore
her shirt waist, threatened to kill her
and finally locked her in the hall out
side her room. He took a portion of
the furniture from the house, but was
later induced to return it through the
Intervention of an attorney. The
cruelties soon began again, and Mrs.
Foran declares that she has been forced
to call in her husbands sister to quiet
him when he became angry.
Charles J. Mollett. the defendant in
suit for divorce brought by Laura e.
Mollett, yesterday turned the tables on
her by securing the decree of divorce
himself in Judge Murasky's court. Mrs
MoIlett brought a divorce action
against him some time ago on the
charge of desertion, and he answered
with a cross complaint. in which he
made a similar charge against her.
She defaulted yesterday when the case
was called and judgment was rendered
in his favor.
Mary A Galley of 1915 Webster
street was yesterday granted a divorce
by Judge Hosmer from James J. Cat
lev on the ground Of extreme cruelty.
Mr. and Mrs. Galley were marriel No
vember 2, 1890, and have five children.
The plaintiff was awarded the custody
of the children, the defendant being
given the right to visit them once each
week He was ordered to pay s25
month for their support.
Divorces were granted yesterday to
Helen Pryal from Charles l. Pryal by
Judge Graham on the ground of cruel
ty, to Cassie Behrn from James Behrn
by Judge Murasky on the ground of ex-
treme cruelty and desertion and to
Harry z. Conklin from Florence e.
Conklin by Judge Hebbard for deser-
ton.
Suits for divorce were filed yester-
day by Bessie McAdams against Samuel
McAdams, for cruelty; Jessie Martin

Speeding Car Crushes Out
the Life of a Little Child
Gladys Fait Is Struck
Just as Mother !.
Approaches

Death rode on the wheels Of an
Ellis-street car yesterday afternoon,
and in an instant the happy laugh of
z-year-old Gladys Fait was changed
TO mosns. and these were quickly
hushed. The little girl had eluded the
vatchfulness of her sister Evelyn and
toddled in front of the car as it whirled
down the steep grade at Ellis and
Pierce streets. Among the curious and
horror-stricken people to gather about
the mangled form was the mothe-. un-
conscious that her little baby lay be-
meath the wheels. When she saw her
child's blood-stained dress she col
lapsed and had to be removed to the
Emergency Hospital
Inspired by 8 mysterious Fremont
ton. Mrs. Fsit had earlier in the day
begun preparation to move from the
neighborhood because OF the terrific
speed Of cars on the hill. which threat
ened the lives of her three little chill
eren. Before setting out to buy fur
niture for the new home she kissed
little Gladys good-by and promised TO
return with candy. Before leaving the
children the mother left Gladys in
charge OF her elder sisters, Evelyn,
aged 8, and Irene. six years old.
About z.45 o'clock Gladys became
tired Of playing in the house. Grasp
ing her dolly, she lifted the latch of
the back door. eluded the watchfulness
Of Evelyn, and with a gleeful laugh
ran into the street. Car 1880, east
bound. came sweeping down the hill,
In an instant it was upon the laughing
child. and the frail form was made urf
recognizable in a whirr of machinery
and swirl Of dust
A crowd soon collected, and attempt
was made to extricate the body As

APPROVES UNIFORM
DIVORCE BILL

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-THE Ma
tional Congress on Uniform Divorce
Laws ended it's work here today after
having adopted. with few changes, the
entire uniform divorce bill as originally
drafted by the committee appointed at
the meetings held in Washington last
year.
The meeting was closed by Bishop
Doane of Albany. who said the congress
should be set right before the public,
because the people might get the idea
that all causes approved by the con-
gress should exist in every State. He
explained that the congress merely
drafted a law containing the principal
causes recognized in majority Of
States. These causes he hoped to see
decreased
The most radical action which the
congress was asked to take, but which
was defeated, was the Incorporation OF
a provision requiring Judges to turn
over evidence in suits to the prosecut-
ing attorney for action against the
party to the divorce for the crime or
offense on which the decree was
granted
The committee which drafted the
original bill will remain In existence
and use its efforts to have the bill
passed by the various State lawmakers

Pretty Thin Coffee.


During one Of George Graham Vests

was necessary for him to sojourn over
night in the town Of St Charles. The
best hostelry the place afforded was
poor enough, and at breakfast Vest
was especially put out by the stuff that
was placed before him for coffee After
having sampled the beverage Vest, with
frown, called for the proprietor.
When that individual appeared the
senator asked, with wave of his hand
toward the offending liquid smoking
innocently before him, "Sir, what is
this stuff?" Coffee" meekly replied
the proprietor, somewhat taken aback.
"Coffee!" repeated Vest in fine scorn.

SHARPENING A PENCIL.
In This Act, 1t II Said, You MAY Read
q Mans Character.

In This Act, 1t II Said, You May Read
Mans Character.
No woman should marry man till
she has seen him sharpen lead pen
Gil. She can tell by the way he does
it whether he is suited to her or not
Here are a few infallible rules for her
guidance in the matter:
The man who holds the point toward
and close up against his shirt
front is slow and likes to have secrets
He is the kind of man who when the
dearest girl in the world finds out that
there are Others and asks him who
they are and what he means by call
ing on them will assume an air Of ex-
cessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at
1t, hit or miss, is impulsive, jolly, good
natured and generous.
He who leaves blunt point is dull
and plodding and will never amount
to much. He is really good hearted,
but finds his chief pleasure in the
commonplace things Of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative and subject to ex-
uberant flights of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
gions of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold
him down to earth and prevent bis
flying off altogether on tangent
The man who sharpens his pencil all
around smoothly and evenly, as though
it were planned off in an automatic
sharpener, is systematic and slow to
anger, but he is so undertaking from a
fixed principle that he would drive q
woman with a sensitive temperament
to distraction in less than six months.
On the contrary, he who jumps In
and leaves the sharpened wood as jag
ged as saw teeth around the top has
a nasty temper and will spank the
baby on the slightest proyocation.
There are certain women who can
manage that kind of man beautifully,
however, and il he gets wife with a
calm, persuasive eye he will come
down from his high horse in a "
minutes and be as meek as lamlsg
The man who doesn't stop to polish
the point of lead once the wood is cut
away has streak of coarseness in his
nature.
He who shaves of the lead till the
point is like needle is refined, deli
cate and sensitive. He will not be
likely to accomplish SO much rs his
more common brother, but he will new
er shock you and is without doubt a
good man to tie to.--New York Press.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-09-05


The public In general and life savers
In particular should be warned of the
danger and folly Of rolling on a bar
rel the bodies Of apparently drowned
persons- This process has never yet
helped to resuscitate, though it has
undoubtedly killed many, half drown
ed persons. The idea that 1t pumps
out" the water Is entirely falla-
cious. In the first place, no water
enters the lungs of drowned man
till he has been absolutely dead for
many hours. In the second, the re-
moval Of water from the stomach Is
quite secondary consideration COM
pared with the Importance Of re-estab-
fishing the action of heart and lungs,
and rolling body on barrel is about
the surest way of preventing both
heart and lungs from resuming their
normal functions. Artificial expansion
and contraction Of the chest by alter
nately stretching the arms above the
head and COMPRISING the chest with
them is the correct first aid to the ap-
parently drowned, but never can roll
ing on barrel be anything but dele
terious.-New York Times.

A NOBLE ENEMY.
The Fate of Mokrani, q Moslem Chief
of Africa.

The Fate of MOkrani, q Moslem Chief
of Africa.
France was never in greater danger
of losing her colonies in Africa than
during the war with Germany in 1870.
The troops were recalled from Africa
to take part in the conflict that was
going on against France, and Algeria
was left almost defenseless.
The hour for which the conquered
races had long waited had come, and
If holy war had been proclaimed it
is probable that the French would have
been driven from northern Africa.
But the tribes did not rise while the
French had their hands full on the
other side Of the Mediterranean, and
the fact was due to their fidelity to a
solemn pledge.
When the war broke out chief Of
great influence among the tribes, Mo-
krani, gave his word to the governor
general Of Algeria that there should
be no instruction while the war lasted.
That word was faithfully kept. Disas.
ter after disaster followed the French
arms. The defeats Of the war cul-
minated in the surrender Of Paris.
But not man Of the tribes Of Kabylia
stirred. The Moslem's faith was
plighted; the Moslem's faith was kept.
When, however, the last battle had
been fought and the treaty Of peace
signed, Mokrani, then released from
his word, gave the governor general
notice that in ferty-eight hours he
would declare war. The French
armies, released from duty at home,
hurried across the Mediterranean. The
end was inevitable. Mokrani, seeing
that all was lost, put himself at the
head Of his warriors and fell fighting
in the front rank. The French erected
a monument to mark the spot where
their noble enemy persisted.
