BANKERS ADVISE

NEW YORK CENTRAL CURTAlLS
CONSTRUCTION
Scarcity of Labor and High Prices Of

Are Told Not All Wages Can
Be Increased
Nv Assnciated Prcss.

IiV INN0VITdTVII T T 49,
NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-The sun to-
day says The directors of the New
York Central have decided to curtail
much of the construction and improve
ment work that had been planned for
this year.
They reached this decision, It is said,
on the advice of prominent bankers
that the prosecution of all the work
planned by the big railroads Of the
country would involve an expenditure
which would produce even greater
strnigency i'm the money market than
was witnessed last year.
The scarcity of labor and the high
prices of all materials are causes con-
tributing to this decision, and another
reason is found in the delays attending
the delivery of materials and equip
ment.

CALIFORNIA NOT
DIVORCE MECCA
JUDGE DENIES OHIOAN'S PLEA
FOR DECREE
Attorneys Assertion That Case Would
Be Appealed Brings Out Strong
Statement Regarding Washing
Foreign Linen Here

Judge Monroe in department six of
the superior court yesterday cut short
the case of William Evans, who was
suing his wife, Eva May Evans, for di-
vorcc, when he announced that he
would not listen to cases where the
scene of trouble had occurred in some
other state and where it was only too
evident that the plaintiff had come to
California for the express purpose of
securing a divorce here.
Scores of fasteners yearly come west
to fight out their family troubles in the
local courts. They have to live here
but one year when they can file action,
and the plan is a good one for them,
since all their trouble" some of ques-
tionable nature, can be aired far from
their homes where the events will never
be known.
Yesterday Evans petitioned divorce,
charging his wife with cruelty in that
she frequently stayed away from her
home at night. The couple were mar.
ried i'm Liverpool several years ago and
had later come to the United States and
settled in Ohio.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-23
Denies Application A

Following the trouble with his wife
i'm Ohio Evans came west, leaving the
woman back there, He stayed here II
little over a year and filed his suit.
Yesterday upon being questioned by
Judge Monroe he admitted that he had
lived i'm Ohio long enough to have
qualified there for divorce, but that
he came to California before he made
up his mind to get divorce. He could
give no particular reason except that
he knew many people in Ohio.
Judge Monroe denied the divorce
promptly. partly on the incompetency
of evidence and partly because he said
that California ought not to have the
troubles of other states thrown into
local courts.
Il will appeal this case to the supreme
court" said Attorney McKelVy.
IAN right" answered Judge Monroe
"and | hope they will sustain my decis-
ion and establish a precedent. We have
enough to do to attend to California
troubles without having to attend TO
the troubles of all the other states"

NO MEDICAL INSPECTION
PASSENGERS FOR CANADA Do
NOT SHOW VACCINATION
MARKS.

officials of the Northern Pacific de-
nv press reports given wide publicity
last month that Canadian medical au-
thorities are compelling passengers
passing over the Canadian line to show
their vaccination marks. The press
reports were to the effect that the
Canadian officials, stationed at Sumas
compelled passengers to show their
vaccination marks and that consider
able indignation had been aroused
among the travelling public.
The story is refuted in a letter writ
ten by the agent at Sumas to General
Manager Calderhead, of the Northern
Pacific. The agent states that the
medical inspection order became ef-
fective April 4, but was discontinued
on Jult Is. No medical inspection oil
nosse, oers enroute to Canada is now
required. The order was first given as
q result of a smallpox scare at Bell
ingham and only passengers routed
from Bellingham were subjected 10
medical inspection. The medical ex-
aminer. in charge of the station al
Sumas. positively denies that ne ever
asked lady or a first class passenger
to exhibit their vaccination mark.

SETS BEAR TRAPS FOR Thief
MRS. ANDERSON DECIDES TO PUT
A STOP TO LOSS OF FRUIT
AND VEGETABLES.

Next time the thief who has been
stealing fruit from the cellar of Mrs.
Anderson, Ala West Maple tries to
ply MS trade, he will meet one of the
biggest surprises of his life.
Mrs Anderson has been troubled a
great deal lately by thieves who have
stolen everything they could lay their
hands on in the cellar. AS she has no
telephone by which to summon the po-
lice to her aid, she has determined to
put two big bear traps in the dark
seclusion of the much frequented room
These will be left to cope whit the
invaders and may be counted on to do
their duty well.
Last night was the last time the
sneak thieves bothered the place and
they succeeded in lifting IA jars of
good canned fruit and jelly. Exasper-
ated by the theft she has resorted to
the above method and the plucky Wo-
man may be expected in the police
court most any night with detected
looking man attached to two heavy
bear traps

GRAM NEXT MONTH.

"Walla WalIans will be treated to
the greatest baseball tournament ever

to the five days baseball tournament
which will be held in Walla Walla dur

From the plans of Mr. Garvey and

play on the first two days of the tour

GREEN EARNED
NINE PER DAY
ORGANIZER OF HARVEST HANDS
UNION HAS LEFT ON AN
NUAL VACATION.

According to reports from members
of the organization, John Green, the
president- treasurer of the Harvest
Hands Union has disappeared from
the city and has not left his address.
Since a week ago Monday the dis
tinguished official has been away on
business and in his capacity as treas
urer took all the ready revenue of
the union with him according to latest
advices. While it is not certain that
the moneyed man of the association
has absconded yet it is feared by all
who have joined the combination for
higher wages that he will not show up
again.
Two years ago Green did the same
thing in this city. His plan was to get
dollar for membership fee from
every one whom he could convince
of the feasibility of the scheme. Then
after he had caught all the suckers"
he could he went on vacation and
took the treasury with him for safe
keeping. About $110 he accumulated in
the treasury by the deal that time.
He Is a Repeater.
This year he seems to have repeated
the operation in spite of the fact that
two years ago he didn't make good
Only this year his operations were more
extensive. He went to Dayton, Waits
burg and Prescott to enroll members
And he got them, at least so report
goes, to the number of more than a
hundred. He got nearly that many
here, too. So his venture has been a
paying proposition in spite of the fact
that he didn't get the matter farther
along. The dreams of 50 a day wages
has faded and the members of the
union" have betaken themselves to
the harvest to get whatever wages
they can secure.
1t is thought by some members of
the union who were interviewed last
night that the head of the union had
obtained nearly 5000 from prospective
members of the union.
why yes, We knew about the deal
of two years ago, at least some of us
did, said one of the members of the
union. But we thought this year the
thing could be worked through. Green
explained all right why it didn't. go
through last time and we were certain
in view of the talk about shortage of
harvest help, that We could get the
increase if we all stood together But
Green was too sharp for us and We are
all out dollar, but the experience is
worth that

'Will Spokane have a candidate for

There will be several. Our county
is one of the large and populous coun-
ties Of the state, and as it is not pre-
