CHURCH is BOUND OVER

The preliminary examination of
Arthur Church charged with rape
upon the person of Hazel Morehouse,
was held this afternoon before Judge
Chamberlin in the Office of Albert
Blixt. The case had been set for
two O'Clock at the chambers OF Judge
Main, and long before that hour had
arrived the court chamber was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and
when the time arrived it was so
crowded by curious and interested
spectators that 1t was impossible to
effect an entrance into the court
room. When Judge Chamberlin and
Prosecuting Attorney Potts arrived
and saw the crowd, they decided to
give them the slip and unobserved
save by a few they wended their way
up to the Office of Blixt The crowd
soon, however. became aware of this
move, but the quarters in this office
were too small to accommodate them
so that they were left outside in the
hall.
The defendant appeared without
an attorney. He was asked by the
prosecutor whether or not he desired
to waive his examination and replied
in the negative. The state then com.
menced the introduction of its evi.
denee in the case.

that the defendant came TO her room
between the hours of ten and eleven
that night and that the two had re.
tired together for the night. She
stated that at this time she was 1f
years Of age and that she fixed the

Under the general consent of in

SUES FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. McClammy Alleges Cruel and
Inhuman Treatment.

Divorce Proceedings were insti-
tuted yesterday afternoon in the
district court by the Law firm OF
Black & Wernett in behalf of Eta
McClammy against Mark McClammy.
The complaint filed alleges that
the two we're married in Eddy, New
Mexico, in the month of April, 1897.
Two grounds are alleged for the dis
solution of the marriage bond ex-
listing between the two. The first
ground alleged is cruel and inhuman
treatment on the part of the hus-
band toward the wife, the first oc-
curing shortly after Thanksgiving in
the year 1908. The plaintiff says
that the defendant has also on other
occasions too numerous for mention
cruelty mistreated her.
The second ground alleged for the
dissolution of the marriage is in
temperance on the part of the de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff says that the
defendant has for years past INDUCED
so heavily in intoxicating liquor that
he has been unable to attend to
business.
The complaint prays for a dis
solution of the marriage bond; that
all property both real and personal
be awarded to the plaintiff, and that
she be given the custody and control
of their two minor children, Mark,
aged eight years, and Eva, aged five
years, alleging the defendant to be
an improper person by reason OF
his dissipated and profigate habits
to have the sustody and control OF
the children.
A restraining order has been is.
sued by the court requiring the de,
PENDANT not to interfere until a fur,
Their order made by the court, with
the property, or management anC
care of the children by the wife.
The property involved is valued
at about $500.
1t will be remembered that or
the 18th of this month Mrs. Nc,
Clammy left her husband, taking
with her the two children and some
money and fed to Spokane. After
the discovery of her fight the hus
band had a warrant issued for hel
arrest, charging her with embezzle
ment and also the abduction of the
children. She was arrested In Spo
kane and afterwards the complaint
was dismissed after a hearing wal
had upon it.
Both parties are well known In tn,
city. 1t is understood that the hus
band intends to contest the case.

GENEROUS WILLIAM KENT
Deeds Redwood Canyon to United
states.

states.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-one OF
the most public spirited gifts ever
made TO the government has come
from William Kent. OF Chicago. who
has just decided TO the Uniterd States
go acres of redwood forest on
the southern slope OF Mt. Tamalpais.
about six miles from the city of San
Francisco. The land was decided In
the government with the approval OF
Forester Clifford Pinchot. Chief OF
the United States Forest Service.
The papers have now gone TO the
Secretary of the Interior and a pro-
clamation declaring the canyon a
National Monument viii be signed al
an early date.
This means that more of Cal
ifornia's redwood giants will be saved
for the scientific study and pleasure
OF the whole country. In fact the
whole world, for the great sequoias
are only found In the Golden STATE.
This grove TO be given to the gov
eminent by Mr. Kent is one of the
only tracts Of redwood forests to be
found in It's natural state IN Cal
ifornia today. The land Is said to
have cost Mr.. Kent $4,000 some
years ago, but It's stand Of redwood
timber alone Is nov valued at more
than $4,000 on the market.
The canyons of Tamalpais which
drain into San Francisco Bay. were
cut years ago and the redwood OBJ
tanned from them went into the con-
struetion Of the old San Francisco.
The giants on the tract to be known
as Muir Woods escaped the ak how
ever, chiefly because the outlet is on
the ocean side instead Of the bay
side. and also because the various
owners OF the land have for senti-
mental reasons jealousy guarded
the timber from harm or destruction
Modern methods Of logging would
make short work OF the timber. and
would, besides, put handsome proHt
lin the hands OF the owners.

ADDS TO EQUIPMENT
Timber Testing Machine is Installed
at University.

at University.
MOSCOW, Jan. 2S.-A most i'm
portant piece of equipment has just
been added in the civil engineering
department of the University of Ida
no. 1t is a 100000 pound capacity
Olsen universal testing machine, with
beam extensions for breaking full
size timbers in transverse tests. This
is the largest machine west of the
Missouri river, being the same as
employed by the forest service of
California, Oregon and Washington.
Its importance to the state may be
judged by the fact that there is no
other machine of the kind in the
state and the other that Idaho lum-
Der will be the most important tim
west within the next few years To
be of value to the commercial inter
ests testing apparatus must handle
large timber, and that is the design
of the university authorities. Tim
bers Sx16 inches and l6 feet in
length and all sizes beneath this can
be handled. In compression tests
the capacity is length of three feet
six inches. Iron and steel tests can
be carried to the 100000 limit. A
full equipment for concrete and
stone tests opens new lines of value.
The university is ready also for any
experiment of scientific value, as
well as the ordinary tests above out
lined Tests will be rectified as to
moisture conditions. and every fact
that conditions the value of CONNER
cial timber. Specimens tested will be
from the actual stock of the mill
yard, not special or selected pieces.
The machine is solidly emplaced
on concrete foundations, everywhere
free from the flooring and is aetuat-
ed by an electric motor with posi-
BILE speeds. The work is in charge
of Professor c. n. Little, head of the
civil engineering department.

MOTHER WITH SIX
 IN GREAT DISTRESS

With six little children and nowhere to take them, Mrs. Laura Timmons of Rag land, St. Clair county, arrived in Bir- miHgham yesterday morning. Mrs Tim mons was first found in her distrsssful condition at the Terminal station by member of the police department
 Mrs. Timmons' husband, 1t seems, has been working in Birmingham and she had decided to come to the city to visit him. Unused to the ways of big city and unaware of the magnitude of the place for which she was bound, she neg lected to get her husbands address be- fore leaving him. Consequently when she arrived at tho Termi la1 station yesterday morning she was at loss to know what to do. With half a dozen little children clinging to her skirts she made repeated inquiry about J. T. Timmons, her husb- band. She found no one who knew him Ind so sat down in the waiting room at the station, where en officer found her weeping.
 When she made known the state of affairs the officer sent her with the little children to police hcadquatters. Judge Feagin made arrangements for their ac- commodation at the Mercy Home until Timmons can be located.

DATA ON DEATHS
 MUST BE COMPLETE

The city health department. it seems. is being greatly handicapped in the way of posting mortuary statistics of Birming- ham on account of incomplete data fur nished by the various undertakers. Ac- cordingly Mayor Ward has addressed the following letter to the undertakers of the city,:
 Dear Sir: Dr. Hardness. city health officer, has complained to me that he IS greatly handicapped in posting the mortu- ary statistics of me city on account of incomplete data.
 "In the future no burial permits will be issued except when the certificate of death is accompanied by complete data. In addition to data required by state law. the following will be insisted upon:
 T. Every certificate of death must bear the ndorsement of the undertaken hand ling the body.
 '2. When the deceased person has lived outside of the city limits as they ex- isted up until three months since, the death certificate must be accompanied with a statement as to whether the de- ceased person lived in the present city limits or not.
 '3 In giving cause of death, general causes, such as gunshot, stab, septi- caemia, etc, will not be accepted. Whei e the cause of death is an injury, such as a stab or gunshot, designate location of Injury as 'gunshot of head 'ab- domen,' etc. Where the cause of death is septicaemia, etc., designate the original cause. as 'septicaemia from childbirth. septicaemia from broken leg etc. Re- spectfully, G.
