h. F. Swift Also Agrees to Let
Former Wife Keep
Children

II. j. Swift, superintendent of the
North Pacific trading and packing COM
pany in Alaska, obtained a divorce
from Belle Swift yesterday on the
ground of desertion. Mrs Swift had
sued for divorce on the same ground
previously, but Judge Hunt threw that
case out of court on the ground of col
lusion when Mrs. Swift admitted that
her husband had agreed to give her
s125 a month for the support of herself
and children.
The evidence yesterday showed that
Swift had been deserted by his wife at
Klawak some years ago, and that she
had absolutely refused to live with
him. By consent of Swift custody of
the children was awarded his wife and
she was allowed s125 a month alimony,
this sum having been suggested by him
as reasonable amount. His salary is
$500 year.
Other divorces granted yesterday
were: BY Judge Graham-Nellie Bable
from Frank Bable, cruelty. The defend
ant, who is a carpenter, earning s125
a month, was ordered to pay $50 a

evaded by the organization of spurious
clubs.
Not to work hardships on grocers

Murdoch said he had fixed their license

had introduced two ordinances to pro-

late and control the sale of liquor in
San Francisco. While he believed that
the measures should be passed by the
board he had not asked super
visor to vote for them. He next eX-

the ordinances since their introduction
