GOODMANS DIVORCED.
Cruel Treatment for Fifteen Years Il
Deemed Sufficient Cause.

Complete separation from her hus-
band, custody of the three minor chill
dren and ten dollars a month all
mony were granted Mrs. Martha
Goodman by Judge Brents today In
divorce proceedings against her hus-
band, Ira w. Goodman.
Cruelty was the ground on which the
divorce was granted. Mrs. Goodman
testified her husband had abused her
off and on for the past Is years,
cursing her and calling her vile names
in the presence of their children ann
others.
He had quarreled with her every
day for the seven months prior to
July IA, for hours, so that she could
no longer endure it. That he was in
sanely jealous Of her without reason.
Mrs. Goodman is matron at the state
penitentiary and was married to
Goodman for 80 years.

, to condemn the buildings will be looked
up by the city attorney. The danger
from fire in the red light district, it
was argued, is a constant menace to
that part of the city.
Property Owners Object.
Residents in West Rose street were
up in arms today when it became ru-
mored about that an effort to remove
the tenderloin to that section of the
city is to be made.
the redlight district will not bo
moved to that section of the city if
can help it," declared Jack Lambert,
special bicycle policeman, who owns
considerable property adjoining the
proposed location of the tenderloin.
"The first move in that direction will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law. I will file a complaint against
the first person that makes move to
open a house Of i'll fame on the prop
erty proposed. Not only will I prose-
cute the person occupying the house,
but the owner of the property for leas-
ing mis- property for that purpose.
There is a law covering both cases
and the property owners in that Sec
ton will see that it is enforced"
Chinks in Scheme.
The scheme to move the tenderloin
between Fifth and Sixth streets was
concocted by several well known Chi
namen last year. Shoe Fly, acting for
a number Of wealthy Chinese, pur-
chased of Judge Taylor, a half block
of land for a price said to have been
$4,000. There are six residences on
the property and it was planned to
utilize these for the red light district
and erect other houses as they were
needed.
The scheme of Shoe Fly met with
violent opposition from crib owners,
who enlisted the aid of Cinnamon be-
longing to another Tong, in an effort
to influence the crib women and Chi
naman from making a move.

Water in Walla Walla's new gravity
water system will probably not be
turned on for three weeks yet, owing
to a strike in the foundry of the
Rennslaen Manufacturing company at
Trov New York which has delayed
the shipment of two gate valves.
Water Registrar Mclean said this
morning the water office had been ad-
vised that the two gates had been
shipped, but as they are coming by
freight he did not expect them much
before the middle of November. If
then.
The two gates are monster anairs
and weigh, approximately, 900 pounds
each. One, a 20-inch gate. will be
used on the main line and will be
placed near the Wickersham bridge.

may be herded off the streets.
For the benefit of the new mem
bers of the council Bridges requested
that the ordinance be read in full by
Clerk Hart. Following the reading
City Attorney Blandford was asked
to explain in detail the provisions OF
the law.
Law inconsistent.
Attorney Blandford held that the or
dinance was inconsistent with itself
in that it prohibited houses of ill fame
on the ground floor or first story while
at the same time it confined the red
light district to practically the same
streets now comprising the tenderloin.
He pointed out there were very few
second story buildings in the district
where the women could be removed
to-
"There is one thing sure, other cities
confine these people in places where
they are not so conspicuous" declared
Durham. what we want to do is to
put these people where they will not
be an eyesore to the general public.
There is some way to do it and we
may as well make a start"
Chief Wanfe Raekino
Chief Brown said he knew of plen-
ty of people who stood ready to take
care of the women, but in making the
move he said he wanted to be sure
that the council was behind him. 1t
is surmised that the chief had a vivid
recollection of the way the saloon
cases were handled, after he had re-
ported them to the council when he
demanded the moral support of the
council in enforcing the ordinance.
Kirkman said, if such thing was
possible, the city should condemn the
wooden shacks as dangerous to the
city, especially wnen the new city hall
is built This suggestion seemed to
meet with the general approval of the
councilmen an dthe right Of the city

At the request Of City Attorney
Blandford, the saloon cases against
Louis Schmidt, Morrison & Williams,
John Merely and Louis Grossmiller,
set for trial in Judge Huffman's
court this afternoon, were continued
over until tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock.
It is believed the testimony in the
four cases is similar to that intro
duced against the saloonmen whose
cases were dismissed and that the four
accused saloonmen will be speedily ac-

a clever method of evading the law by
opening up a restaurant in the rear of
the saloon every Sunday.
On the Sunday in question the
restaurant was doing land office
business and men were freely admit
ted to the bar room in the front of the
building.
The proprietor of the restaurant, it
is said, conducts a lunch counter in
front of the saloon on week days and

siderable delay has been experienced

Mclean. However, the company has

The nonarrival of the gates has
proved a serious obstacle in Walla

Surveyor Lee Mckenzie as soon as
