Abstinence For Year Gives New

PROVISION MADE IN Fathers WILL

SANITARIUM TREATMENT, AND
HAS NOT TASTED SINCE.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Eugene An
derson, whose family is said to own
land on which two well known New
York hotels, the ST. Denis and Gilsey
houses are built, has left for California
to enjoy a fortune Of $1,OOO,OOO which
came to him through his abstention
from intoxicating liquor for one year.
Under his fathers will the payment of
the large legacy depended on his re-
main sober for II months, and it is now
Is months since he touched liquor.
At the time of his fathers deatht
Anderson was drunkard. He swOre
off, but failed to keep his good reso-
luton and became more disssipated
than ever. Then his sister died and to
the legacy under her will the same pro-
vision as in his fathers will was at
tached. His brother, James M. Ander-
son, of Mount Vernon, managed his
estate.
Anderson's home was at Amityville

Nearly 100000 are Starving in
China.
APPALLING EPIDEMIC NAY COME NEXT
ALL SUFFERERS MAY DIE UNLESS
CHARITY COMES TO AID
MURDER RAMPANT.

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 1.-THE
steamer Shnano Maru, which arrived
from the Orient, brought further adj
vices regarding the appalling famine in
Central China. The extent of the fam
inc area is bounded on the south by
a line drawn from the sea through
Human and along the Huai river in
North Anhui, one the west by a line
drawn from Ochou to Kweiteh, north
from the eastern corner of Honan to
the sea which bounds the eastern side.
The worst conditions are expected to
set in after Chinese New Year in mid
February. The population affected is
set at 100000, of which Viceroy Tuan
Fang estimates that 100000 are in &C
tual want, mostly starving. The famine
bracing between 20 and 80 large walled
cities besides the scattered country
population.
The figures given from nine large
cities show 100000 starving refugees
have already collected, with no count
of those who have migrated south or
congregated in walled cities outside the
famine area.
Mr.. Bostwick, sent from Shanghai to
Investigate, says all these refugees may
perish from starvation unless fed by
government or public charity. He es-
Inmates the daily expenditure to feed
the 100000 now starving at $4,000
while the period of relief must be ex-
tended over some months.
With tens of thousands of starving
huddled in the walled cities it is feared
epidemics will add to the horrors of
famine.
The North China Daily News, of
Shanghai, publishes many kilograms
from missionaries in the famine area. A
typical one from Hsuchoufu says:
Half people actually without pro-
visions daily and die. Many leave
country. Numberless brigandages and
murders. No local relief hoped for"

Severe Punishment for Men Who
Neglect Families
TO APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE FOR LAW
BElliNGHAM PARTICULARLY is
STIRRED UP OVER ACTION OF
HABiTUAL DRUNKARD.

BELLINGHAM, Jan. IA woman
whose husbands name has been
posted in saloons as an Aabitual
drunkard, has asked the county at
torney to have the ban removed
The reason she assigns is that her
husband refuses to support her while
the stigma rests on his name.
AS the result of the application the
WhatcOm county delegation to the
state legislature will be asked to frame
and secure the passage of law pro-
viding for the punishment of men who
neglect their wives. The case in
question was called to the attention
Of County Clerk smith. He received
a message over the telephone asking
him to take up with County Attorney
Peringer and Judge Neterer, the mat
ter of having the name removed
She stated that her husband is now
worse than ever, as he absolutely re-
fuses to contribute cent towards her
support. He will support her, she
says, if she will have the ban against
him removed, and as she is hardly able
to work she would have him granted
tie privilege of buying liquor again.
1t is not likely that the ruse will
succeed, as some means of Furnishing
him will probably be discovered, and
if he persists he is likely to find him.
self facing the court on some other
charge.
| County Attorney Peringer stated
this morning that the legislation in
regard to the Furnishing of men who
neglect their wives and families could
hardly be more unsatisfactory than
at present.
The matter is being agitated in all
parts of the state by the prosecuting
| attorneys, the courts, the ministers
| and humane workers, and the legisla
ture that convenes Monday at Olym-
pia will in all probability give the
mater it's attention at an early date.

AGAINST THE SALE OF DRUGS
Seattle Attorney Would Have State
Pass Law Against Free Traffic
In Poisons.

Legislation against the sale of drugs
to persons addicted to their use and
in addition to this statute making
it unlawful for physicians to prescribe
drugs for such persons except in cases
where it is absolutely necessary, is ask
ed in a letter addressed to Governor
Mead by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Nandeveer of Seattle. Mr.. Vandeveer
declares in his letter that his obser-
walton has led him to the belief that
great number of the criminals of
the state have reached their present
stages of degradation through the use
OF drugs and that ninety nine out of
every hundred who become drug fiends
never give up the habit. For this rea-
son he states that he believes some leg
lSlation should be had to restrict the
sale of the drugs and to prohibit ply.

The Secret of Success

A careful study of the methods pur-
sued by men who have acquired wealth
reveals the fact that the sure founda-
ton of fortune is laid by SAVING.
Whatever may be the later operations
of men eminent in the world of fin
ance, the beginning of a competence
is uniformly found to be in spending
less than one earns and saving the
surplus. Saving is the great secret
OF success. Once the saving habit has
been acquired, the way to indepen-
dence is open. A man who commands
a few hundred dollars can easily make
safe and profitable investments.

welcome to bring any amount. We are

BOGUS Detective Tells Police Of
Three Wives.
MAY YET Be PROSECUTED FOR BIGAMY
BOUND OVER TO FEDERAL GRAND
JURY AT PENDLEToN FOR I'M
PERSONATING OFFICER.

H. C. Clark, alias Gibson. who was
arrested here a few days ago for i'm
vice officer seems to have been not only
a bogus detective but the possessor
of three wives, according to testimony
given at his preliminary trial held in
Pendleton.
Clark was bound over to the federal
grand jury at Portland in $1,000 bonds
by Commissioner John Haley of Pen
dleton and has been taken to Portland
by Glen Bushee, deputy United States
marshal.
Clark told the officers many conflict
ing stories about his marital relations,
saying that he was first married to a
woman in Tamoca in 1901, but that
soon thereafter he secured a divorce,
for the reason as he says that they
agreed to disagree"
In the fall of 1902 he says he went
to a hop yard near Salem, with a
family named Smith and that with
this family there was also girl
by the name of Adeline Kittel, whose
parents live at Louisville, Washington.
Before the hop picking season was
ended he says Adeline had promised to
be his wife, so he gave Mr.. Smith some
money and sent him to Salem to Sc
cure a license and a preacher to tie
the knot.
Two Children Born.
According to Clarks story, Smith re-
turned to the hop yard accompanied by
man with a bible and who was sup
posed to be a preacher. The stranger
performed the ceremony and they con-
sidered themselves man and wife. They
lived together about two years and
during that time two children We're
born, one of them being the little boy
who is now with Clark and his present
wife.
From Salem they went to Tacoma
where their marital bliss reigned SUI
preme until his Adeline began flirting
with a policeman, when he decided to
apply for a divorce. Writing to Salem
he found that his marriage was never
placed on record and that therefore
he was not legally married to the
woman. Instead, however, of taking
| advantage of this freedom which had
been thrust upon him, he says that
for his childrens sake he attempted to
persuade the woman to marry him
again, but that she refused to do So
whereupon he made an agreement
whereby each of them was to take care
of one of their children.
Left Circus for Wife.
His present wife, or Mrs. Clark No
8, was married to Clark at Elgin, July
10, 1906, her maiden name being Nellie
Thompson. He went to that city with
a circus and Is days after he met Miss
Thompson, who was then 16 years of
age, they were married.
The above story of his married car
eer is told by himself but the officers
are inclined to believe that if he ever
married either of the former women
he says he has, that he is still the
husband of the first and that he is
subject to arrest on the charge of
bigamy.
Clark said he thought he was depu-
tized to act as a government detective
by man named Brown but who Brown
is or where Brown is the officers in
Pendleton have not been able to find
out.
Clark worked in the lunch counter
OF the Idle Hour saloon and Log Cabin
saloon at Pendleton previous to coming
