COATS IS DIVORCED;
WIFE RETAINS CASH
Suit Is Heard Unexpectedly by
Consent and Decree Granted
for Cruelty
Mule Dealer AbandOns Contest
on Condition That He
Pay No More

All monetary differences between Lee
B. Coats. the horse and mule dealer,
and his beautiful young second wis
Eulah NJ. Coats. having been compro-
missed. she paid an unheralded visit
to Judge Seawell's court yesterday
morning and secured an interlocutory
decree of divorce. The case was not
on the calendar. but by consent of the
attorneys-Hiram W Johnson for the
wife and Walter Fl. Linforth for the
husband-it was taken up without no
tice. Coats did not appear. but he was
represented by his attorney, who. how
ever, asked no questions of the wit
nesses.
Attired in a neat. close fitting blue
tailor made suit. but wearing none of
the diamonds and other jewelry which
Coats said he bought for her at a cost
of $4,000, Mrs. Coats took the stand
and testified 10 some OF the charges of
cruelty alleged in her complaint. She
said that one night while sleeping in
her room at the Fairmont hotel Coats
caught her by the neck and choked her
into a state of insensibility. When she
revived he choked her again. Still a
third time the same night she said he
choked her until she lost her senses.
His treatment of her almost killed her,
she said. DR.. James w. Ward. who
ATTENDED MIS-. coats dIter IhlS atIaCk.
testified that her throat was bruised
black and blue and that her forehead
and cheek were scratched.
According to Mrs Coats complaint
her husband sometimes attempted TO
kiss her in public places while in a
state of intoxication. Nothing was said
yesterday regarding the Wife's allega-
tion that Coats attacked a young lady
friend in a roadhouse and cut her arm.
The trial of the case occupied about
five minutes.
All that Mrs. Coats secured I'm the
property settlement was money which
was already in her name, amounting
to $500. She signed away by stipu-
lation all claims against the $4,000
rancho Coats owns near Hanford and
everything else he has. His attorney
said il had been agreed that no eoun-
ter complaint should be entered by
Coats
Mrs. Coats got nothing for counsel
fees or costs of the suit.
Coats still has on his hands the suit
brought by his first wife. who seeks
TO have all that he owns declared COM
munity property.
Judge Sturtevant yesterday granted
Belle H. Smith a divorce from William

IFNG|N[[R ASSERTS
TUG COULD NOT AID
Erhard OLSON of the Hattie
Gage Is Heard by the
Local Inspectors
Does Not Believe Vessel Gould
Have T0wed Star of Ben
gal to Safety

Erhard Olsson, chief engineer of the
Hattie Gage, one of the two tugboa is
charged with deserting the Star of
Bengal off the southwest mainland of
Alaska. September 30, when Ill lives
were lost, was examined yesterday
morning by Inspectors of HulIs and
Boilers o. F. Bolles and John X. Bull
ger. Although the examination occu-
pied two hours. the witness was unable
to throw any light on the cause of the
accident that cost so many lives
Olsson said he was in the engine
room below decks all the time and did
not know what was going on above.
He testified that the machinery of the
Hattie Gage was in perfect order all
the time and that it was from no cause
that could be attributed to the engine
room that the tug cut away He said,
however, that the water was very
rough and that the tug rolled and
pitched in the storm. 1t was his opin-
ion, arrived at after revisiting the
scene of the accident. that the tug
could not have aided those who were
drowned. They were washed over
board on the land side and it would
have been impossible for the tug to
have gone between the bark and the
land. He was also of the opinion that
the tug could not have towed the bark
TO the lee side or the island.
Fred Wfelke. mate of the Hattie
Gage. is the only witness left to be
examined. He is coming from the
north on the sailing vessel Star of
England. The hearing will be re-
sumed when the Star of England
reaches port. After Wielke's testimony
is taken, the entire record of the in
vestigation will be sent to the Juneau
board of inspectors at Juneau, Alaska,
for that body to pass judgment on.
N. Wagner, skipper of the Star of
Bengal, and his first officer, Victor Jo-
hansen, attended the examination of
Olsson.
Lieutenant Berry of the revenue
cutter Golden Gate takes exceptions
to the statement made at the investi-
cation held in Juneau that the revenue
cutter Burnside refused to come to the
assistance of the i'll fated ship Star
of Bengal. Lieutenant Berry asserted
yesterday that there is no revenue
cutter Burnside, but that the vessel of
that name is an army cable tramp.
The revenue cutter officer states that
one of the chief duties of revenue cut
ters- is to go to the assistance of any
and all vessels in distress, no matter
how great the danger.
