MRS. OkEY IN
CROSS COMPLAINT
Asks Confirmation of Idaho Decree
Given Her, and Custody of
Child.

Another step in the matrimonial
troubles of Jerry F. Okey and Sadie
NJ Okey was taken in the superior
court of Yakima county on Friday
when Mrs. Okey filed a cross COM
plant in the divorce case started by
her husband, alleging cruelty and
violent temper as grounds for grant
ing a decree to her.
The voluminous document which
she presented through Attorneys
George NJ Tannehill and Englehart
e Rigg also gives an account of the
divorce proceedings started by her
in Idaho, and through which she
was granted a decree and custody of
a ten year old child. This little girl
is now In North Yakima with her
father. and his endeavor to gain
possession of her in Minnesota some
months ago attracted considerable
attention.
Mrs. Okey asks for the confirma-
ton of her divorce decree granted in
Idaho, and which gives her the GUS
tody of the child. Her husband has
started suit here asking divorce. The
Indications are that the case will be
strongly contested. both father and
mother desiring custody of the child.

COMPLAIN of Poles.

Complaint has been made to the
city regarding the manner in which
the Northwest Light & Water COM
pany is placing its poles in the alleys.
e. NJ. Ford says that the erection OF
a pole in the alley on South First
street interferes with the corner of
his building. The city attorney has
been consulted in the matter and he
SAYS 1t is entirely up to the city coun-
ell. The company is doubling the
number of new poles, and it is feared
that the alleys will be INSTRUCTED I'M

ncts. From various of the sub-val-
leys, from the lower ranches of the
Yakima river and from the west side
of the mountains, from the fine farms
or King and Pierce counties. he has
procured variety of exhibits Of gen
eral farm products. Where the fair
or a year ago, which topped all prede-
cessors, was weak in this varied farm
exhibit field this year will be strong
and some 10 or dozen sections or
districts will compete for cash
awards offered for the displays.
With nearly 1000 live animals on
exhibition the lover of stock will see
ample to amuse and delight him. The
first herd Of Galloway cattle ever
placed on exhibition in this state will
be shown here, coming from Nebras-
ka and Oregon. In dairy and beef
cattle the departments will be strong.
The Holsteins will be a particularly
strong class with half dozen herds
represented. The Jerseys will be a
select lot and there will be Devons,
Guernseys, Shorthorns, Red Polled,
Hereford and a number of other
kinds. A. ]. Splawn, the local
breeder of the beef cattle, will not
show his Herefords this year, but
Paul Clagstone of Clagstone, Idaho,
will be on hand with select lot, and
he always has the best.
Poultry have improved in number
and quality more rapidly than any
other features Of live stock in the
state of Washington, and this year
the state fair, which always attracts
the best because of the fact that a
state award is worth money to
fanciers, will have more birds than
1t will be able, properly, to house.
superintendent Collier of this de-
partment has rounded up not only
an extra fancy lot but also great
variety, including ducks, geese, tur-
keys, all kinds of chickens, some
rabbits, pheasants and a few odd
specimens of one kind and another.

CRAZY MAN HAS
CONE BACK

The crazy man who was several
days ago sought after by police
men, sheriff deputies and blood
hounds. has again made his APP
pearance. He was accustomed on
former visits to do a disrobing act
climb trees, grasp whole handfulls
Of nothing out of the air, and shout
to those within hearing to Come
to the Lord" The advice was all
right, but usually the appearance
of the exhorter wasn't must of an
inducement except to run the other
way.
About S o'clock last night he
again appeared at his old haunts,
Twents.,o 18th and Grand, fully
dressed, which was somewhat Of a
relief. He danced several jigs when
he was first seen, then he prayed
some, swore some and jigged some
more. He omitted, however, to
claw the air, as formerly. He was
not half so interesting, either, for
at sight of people of the neighbour
hood who had been attracted by
his cries he ran off. The police
We're notified. but when an officer
arrived he had OBLIGATED himself.

AS TO SALOONS

A reader writes The Press:
Il read with appreciation in last
nights issue your article on the
attitude of the liquor interests, but
in another section Of the paper I
found saloon advertisement. Are
you not somewhat Inconsistent"
The Press thinks not. The saloon
mentioned Is advertised simply as
a place where liquor is sold, and it
is nothing more. 1t has no ladies
entrances private rooms, card
tables or even chairs. There is no
inducement to enter except the de-
sire to purchase liquor. AS long
as people care to buy liquor, and
it's sale Is permitted, this is the
only plane on which the business
of selling it should be conducted.
No one is deceived In the character
of the business carried on nor in
the advertising displayed. 1t is
with the dives operated on the
spider web plan to snare boys and
girls that The Press has its
quarrel
The liquor business Is bad enough
at it's pest, but when 1t Is expand
ed to include every other vice it is
worse than the worst.

BOY STOLE WHAT OLD
MAN HAD STOLEN

Both Charles Wheeler, the aged
section foreman of Elk, Wash.
who has confessed to stealing a
package containing $500 from the
Great Northern depot at Elk, and
Harry Russell. the 10-year-old boy
who afterward stole the money
from Wheeler, are to be prosecuted,
according to Deputy Prosecutor
Pugh.
Following Wheeler's arrest, he
confessed and took the officers to
the stump near the railroad where
he had hidden the money 1t was
gone. Harry Russell soon after
ward was found living in Spokane
and spending more money than the
average boy of his age. This led
Detective Enright to suspect him
and he was arrested at Natatorium
park. He admitted the theft of the
old mans plumber.

MADE BURNS
BEG FOR LIFE
PUTER TELLS NEW STORY IN
BOOK REVEALING LAND
FRAUD IN WASHINGTON AS
WELL AS OREGON.

PORTLAND, May 23.-"Don't
shoot, Steve; for Gods sake, don't
shoot"
This is the way that the noted
detective, w. J. Burns, pleaded with
s. A. d. Puter when Puter covered
him with a revolver at the time of
Puter's arrest in Boston, according
to the noted land frauder's book,
1.-THE Looting of the Public Do
MAN," which is just off the press.
Puter wrote the book while in
Jail in Portland serving sentence
for land fraud conspiracy. His ac-
count of the arrest by Burns in
Boston, his escape and re-arrest in
Oakland, Cal, differ materially from
the story told by other writer's on
this subject. ;
Puter's book reveals a number of
sensational incidents in relation to
the land fraud game in the Pacific
Northwest. A number of these al
legged grabs took place in Idaho ana
Washington, as well as in Oregon.

bars and holding on to another. He

where he could examine them crit

When the airship was a mile and
half above the earth, Henry was
seized with a severe cramp in his
leg. With great difficulty he pulled
himself along the framework to the

for him. Then. almost exhausted,
he was pulled into the car. and tho

OFFICERS TELL
4 Of MURDER

The trial of Curtis Hawkenberry,
whom circumstances point to as the
murderer of Perry Schultz. the
Traction Co. motorman, in his
room at the Kaiser hotel last De-
cember, promises to be long and
tedious. The morning was occupied
with Sergeant d. ID. McPhee of the
police on the witness stand. Nc.
Phee testified to answering a call
from the hotel in company with
other officers of the department.
He examined roomers, rooms, hall
ways and fire escape. There was
nothing that same night which
would point the finger of sus-
picion at Hawkenberry. The SER
geant's examination of the fire es-
cape that night was only casual,
but next day he was convinced that
no one had escaped down 1t. 1t

ing that an empty 80 calibre shell
was found in Hawkenberry's room.
This find, added to the fact that
Hawkenberry was the first to
arouse the hotel following the
shooting, caused his arrest on sus-
picion. There yet remains for the
states evidence Detectives Mac
donald, Weir and Briley, all OF
whom worked on the case.
Yesterday Police Chief Rice tes-
tilted that following arrest the ac-
cused man first denied to him tnat
he owned revolver. then admitted
that he owned a .3S. Claude Lee

before the shooting Hawkenberry
had tried to trade him a .32 calibre

big Morrell airship, $50 feet in
length, blew up when 200 feet in
the air this morning and fell a
tangled mass of canvas and ropes,
injuring seven men.
The big airship was scheduled to
make an ascent at noon and a
great crowd watched it. When the
bag struck an upper current it wob-
bled considerably and the gas pres
sure became unbalanced.
The weight of the five motors
caused the bag to burst.
The men in the lower section of
the ship fell about Is feet; those in
the upper about 200 feet.

WHAT CONGRESS ACCOMPLISHED

WASHINGTON, D. c., May a.
AS a "DO-Nothing Congress" the
one just finished has been a sue
cess. It's members have drawn
their increased salaries and worn
holes in their trousers.
Roosevelt is going out, now we'll
show him."
This is what Uncle ole Cannon
said at the beginning Of the session
last December. The remark was
echoed by Aldrich and Hale in the
senate. The program was made
and followed accordingly.
The record of the sixtieth con.
gress Is record of good things not
done.
The sixtieth congress has not
passed a national child and woman
labor law.
The sixtieth congress has not
passed law limiting the injunction
powers of federal courts.
The sixtieth congress. has not re.
lieved union labor from the stigma
Of the Sherman antitrust law.
The sixtieth congress has not
strengthened the law against trusts
The sixtieth congress has not re-.
moved the tariff from trust-made
goods.
The sixtieth congress has not pro
tected the American forests from
the ravages Of the paper and lum.
Der trusts.
1t has not:
Provided publicity for campaign
contributions. ,.@
Curbed the watering Of railways
securities.
Given power to the interstate
commerce commission to regulate
car supply and other railway serv-
ice.
Regulated the telegraph and tele.
phone monopoly.
Provided supervision for railway
receiverships.
Curbed reckless railway finance.
Divorced national banking from
the perations of Wall SITS. wild
high finance.
Provided for a parcels post.
Provided for postal savings
banks.
Placed wood pulp on the free
list.
Authorized a permanent water
ways commission.
Taxed incomes.
Taxed inheritances.
Provided for arbitration of indus
trial disputes.
Provided free trade with the
Philippines.
Encouraged the merchant marine.
Added proper strength to the
navy.
Provided better pay for the pri-
Yates in the standing army.
These are among the principal
things that the 'Do-Nothing Con-
gress" has failed to do.
In message after message the
president has recommended and
urged action along these lines. But
Standard OIL and corporate infiu-
ence has prevailed.
Now 1t is up to the constituents
of the gentlemen who are RESPONSE
BILE. Members of congress who can
not give satisfactory explanation
should be displaced by progressive
men who stand for the forward
movement.
