erary career. They include Theodore
Roosevelt, the Citizen" 1.-THE Children

ments." 1.-The Perils OF the Poor"
The line Is one to Roosevelt's liking.
He took to boosting Riis when he was
a police commissioner, and Riis was q
reporter covering police station In
the slums. In the subsequent years.
Riis has been boosting Teddy in sort
OF reciprocal way.
The way Jacob tells of his first great
help from Teddy. is to narrate the ak
periences OF them both at the Church
street police station and the Mulberry
Bend tenement houses, Riis took
Roosevelt through the station one
night. and explained to him what It
had been for twenty years. "1'll
smash 1t tomorrow" was Teddy's typi-
cal answer, and so It was done. A
beautiful park created by Roosevelt
now adorns the site of the tenement
houses, and this was one of the first
things done to make play grounds for
children OF the poor.

is finally tanned. 1t presents what Mr..
Riis calls the fight of our tomorrow
and on this. he insists. rests the hope
for stability in the republic.

JUDGE MORSE'S
DIVORCE MATINEE
Quartet of Abused Men Secure
Freedom From Their Rec
reant HeIpmates.
COUPLE HAD BlGAMOUS WIVES
Two of the Plaintiffs Were Deserted
For Other Men Who Married With
ont Formally OF Divorce.

The divorce matinee yesterday In
Judge Morse's court proved to be
rather a one-sided affair as far as sex
Is concerned as the plaintiffs in the
four cases heard were men and each
was granted a divorce. In the two
cases II was shown that the wife had
contracted q bigamous marriage and
had deserted their husbands for ncw
ones which they took unto themselves
without the formalty OF. securing
divorce from their legal husbands.
LEYSON JARS.
In the case OF David b, Leyson
against Vera G, Leyson 1t was shown
that the parties were married In Og-
den on Dec, 3, 1904 and came TO this
city TO live. They had some domestic
troubles. but nothing very serious
occurred. and In May, 1906. the defend
ant went to Spokane. where she met
a bartender by The name of Joe
McMullen, whom she married In July,
1906, After about four months of life
with him, she deserted him and came
back to Salt Lake and entered a house
OF Ill fame. When her husband filed
suit for divorce she went after him
with gun and the two met on Fourth
South and East Temple streets, both
armed with reVolvers. but they were
arrested before any harm was done.
After hearing the evidence introduced
by Leyson. the court granted him
decree of divorce.
VERY MUCH MARRIED.
Peter Jensen of Murray had a very
similar experience with his wife. Emma
Olson Johnson- Plersou Brown Jensen
The principal difference was that she
was married and undivorced when sne
met and married Jensen. and he did
not discover the fact until several
months after their marriage. when her
former husband Charles Johnson,
came along after an absence of about
two years, and claimed the woman as
his wife, and Jensen rave her UP to
him. Upon the showing made by len
sen. the marriage with his WIFE OF
many names was annulled.
TOO SLOW FOR HER.
Peter +. Sindar declared on the
witness stand that his wife, Rose Sin
dnr. had refused 10 leave Chicago ana
accompany him to st. Paul TO live
because she thought the latter city was
too slow for her He was accordingly
granted a divorce on the ground or
desertion,
