MRS. 0. A. STACK
GRANTED DIVORCE
Serious Charges Against Her
Husband, a Prominent
LumbePman.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 14.-Mrs.
Orion Allen Stack was granted a de-
cree of divorce in Judge KEENAN, s
court yesterday afternoon from Rich
ard B. Stack of the Stack Gibbs
Lumber company. The divorce was
granted on the grounds of infidelity
and cruel and inhuman treatment,
Mrs. Stack was given title to an in
terest in the defendants property
amounting to $4,000 and 5000 a
month alimony.
Mrs. Stack came prepared to prove
specific instances or her husbands
unfaithfulness. AS he did not con-
test the case and failed to make an
appearance she was allowed de-
cree on his default.
In order to constitute a cause OF
action is was necessary, however. for
the plaintiff to enter testimony of a
decidedly sensational character re-
garding the defendants relations
with other women. She swore that
she contracted a loathsome disease
from him.
The picture of a correspondent
with whom the defendant was alleged
to have been particularly intimate
was among the exhibits. Mrs
Stack testified that she had taken the
photograph from her husbands
pocket.
The Stacks domestic troubles have
extended over period of years and
became so aggravated some time age
that they have been living apart
He has been residing at the Madison
hotel.
Stack came to Spokane from tn,
east about four years ago and bought
an interest in the lumber compan!
which bears his name. He is abOu

CHINA KICKS
ON JAP GUARDS
Kill Alleged japanese Traitor and
China Protests

PEKING. Aug. 1.-THE killing in
the city early this month of Japa-
nese army Officers. supposed to be a
spy and traitor, by Japanese soldiers
attached to the Picking legation will
result in the presentation by China
Of formal protest against the doing
OF protection duty by legation guards
outside of the legation precincts.
The officer In question was Captain
Kyhwata. He was in the artillery
branch of the Hiroshima division and
he was farmerly an instructor In the
Chinese college at Poa Tang Flu. He
was charged with selling Japanese
military secrets to a foreign power
and disappeared from Japan in June
On August l he was discovered, dis
guised as a Chinaman, hiding near
the war Office in Peking This
knowledge was communicated TO the
legation guards, and a detachment
was sent to capture him. He resisted
arrest. wheFeupon the guard shot
and wounded the spy and he died
two days later in the hospital of the
legation guard.
Japanese Cnearth Evidence.
The evidences against Captain
| Kyhwata consisted of the following
allegations: He was in the habit
of sending large sums OF money to
his family in Toxic: he was under
the protection. when captured, Of
Ting Chang. an attaehe Of the judge
advocates department OF the Chi
nese war office: he made use OF the
name of Ting Chang and was en-
gagged in tutoring eight Chinese army
officers; six bundles Of documents
containing secret information relat-
ing to the japanese army were found
in the capain's rooms and eonfiseAted
by the legation guards. and, lastely.
the captain is said TO have eOnfes-
sed.
NJ. Abe, the japanese charge daft
fairies has urged lack Of time and
the importance Of the prisoner In
extenuation Of the action Of the
guard in not notifying the Chinese
authorities before arresting the cap
tain. He explains further that the
resistance of the prisoner vas un-
/ foreseen and that his consequent
shooting could not be avoided. The

HOT WORDS END IN DEATH
Thomas johnson, Of ClealEm. Dies
After Fighting Crack Shot.

After Fighting Crack Shot.
ELLENSBURG, Wash, Aug. IL
In an alteration between Thomas
johnson and Frank Bryant at Gle
alum today the former was shot
through the abdomen and died
this afternoon. The trouble started
over the collection. of a bill which
Johnson is said to have held against
Bryant and for which Bryant brought
suit. johnson Is a pioneer in KItti-
tas county and Bryant is known as
the most famous hunter of the Cas-
cade mountains.
The two men met in johnson s
real estate ONCE today and hot
words passed. IL Is said that at the
height OF the argument Bryant
struck johnson and then started for
the door. The latter followed, draw
ing gun. When the men reached
the sidewalk they struggled and
Johnson fell from a bullet from his
own revolver. Bryant says that
Johnson struck him with a club first
and that he (Bryant) turned the gun
as the victim pulled the trigger.
johnson had the reputation OF be-
ing high tempered. About IL years
ago he killed William Donohue in the
western part of the country In a
feud over a mining claim. He was
tried and the last time acquitted on
the ground of self-defense. He came
to Kittitas 27 years ago and lived
in Ellensburg until 1894. He was
nearly 20 years of age. Bryant. who
is a timber cruiser and lumber esti-
mator. is about 80 years old. After
Johnson's death Bryant gave him
self mp to the CIealum authorities.

hearing, declare the rate successive Il 70

reasonableness, but IL Is without power
20 forestsLl the outrage. The report
Gays:
Under the operation Of the IatsrssAts Com

rests entirely with the railway. which may. by
Eiviug thirty days notice. put into eject any rate

established BY the railway 10 eass formal com
plAint ls hed attacking that rate and after full
hearing. This Is the express provision Of the
statute"
There is an obvious wrong TO the COM
manity in leaving in the hands Of rail-
way managers. despite their present
obedience and seeming humility, any
shred of right or power to tix rates, and
they should be promptly stripped OF
what still remains TO them. If all power
over revenue and expenditure could be
taken from railway officials and be
placed In the hands Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission a serious dan
ger which is noted in this report might
be averted. This danger is thus de-
scribed:
It may conservsuvely be stated that the In
adequacy OF transportation facilities Is little less
than alarming: that It's continuation may place
an arbitrary limit upon the future productivity OF
the land and that the solution Of the dcult imam
cial and physical problems involved ia worthy the
most earnest thought and EFFORT OF all who believe
In the full development Of our country and the
largest opportunity for Its people"
This seems to be a matter of far more
serious public concern than any question
Of extending the scope Of the authority
Of this commission. and Of much more
importance than the physical valuation
of railways urged in this report. With
an ever impending danger that their
revenues may be reduced by order OF a
political commission. the railways are
likely to find an increasing difficulty in
obtaining the money imperatively needed
for the improvement OF their facilities.
This country has never faced a more
serious economic problem than that
which appears in the handling Of the
merchandise which must be moved dur
ing the coming years.
1t has not yet been shown that railway
rates are oppressive or that the profits
of railways are unreasonable. Reduc-
ton of rates and Of profits does not seem
to be the proper direction from which
TO approach the problem of increased
facilities.
