That $3.50 a month for fees and tips
to servants is a necessary expense when
one lives at whitehall" a boarding
house on State street, was brought
in the evidence Saturday in the airing
in court of the troubles of c. c. Par
sons and his wife.
Mrs. Parsons and her daughter, Neva,
live at Whitehall The daughter is in
sympathy with the mother in her suit
for separate maintenance, and was a
witness yesterday.
The proceedings were before Judge
c. W. Morse Of the district court. Par
sons was before the court to show cause
why he should not continue to pay his
wife $3.50 a month pending the settle
ment of the suit, when Mr.. Parsons will
get a divorce OF his wife an order for
separate maintenance.
Mr.. Parsons showed good enough
reason for the judge, who ordered that
the wife be paid 1925 a month for sup
port of herself and daughter until the
suit comes to trial.
Mr.. Parsons was frank about his af-
fairs. He said he owed Samuel New
house $4,000. and that as attorney for
the Newhouse interests he received only
$500 a month; that he has an overdraft
at McCornick's bank of $500; has no
property, and has not more than
enough money to support himself. I'm
til August, zoos, ne had been paying his
wife and daughter $3.50 month, though
he has not lived with his wife for three
years In August he stopped his wife,
allowance and sent a check for S77.50
to his daughter following it with an
other the next month. Both these he
had received back.

There were about fifteen of the boys.

The Judge will communicate with the 4.

WIFE'S ALLOWANCE CUT IN TWAIN

The daughter, Neva Parsons. gave
her reasons for returning this money
when placed on the stand. Il told
him. she said, that l thought my
mother was entitled to $3.50 month,
even if were not entitled to anything.
L felt that if I accepted the smaller
amount 1 might have to keep on &C
cepting it, and he would have a hold
over me by threatening to cut it off at
any time. He had already threatened
to cut me off
Besides" said Miss Parsons. me had
written me a letter in which he told
me that he had lost all affection for
me. He told me to take the streets and
my utterances were those of a virago
and common scold. and that he be-
lieved-" Here the young lady stopped
short. Il guess that's about all" she
said.
She said, when asked how much her
mother required, that she believed she
should have as much as her father, to
have home as he and be able to go
out occasionally and enjoy some pleas
ure.
Mrs. Parsons and her daughter
testified that they had nothing, and the
mother denied that she had ever writ
ten, six years ago, that her daughter
would soon receive $4,000 from heI
mothers estate. She was embarrassed
when this letter was produced, but ad,
mitted her signature.
Mrs Parsons is asking for $500 q
month for separate maintenance. Mr.
Parsons, in his cross-complaint, asks
for an absolute divorce. The case will
probably come up for trial before the
winter is over.

Pure FOOD ORDINANCE
NOT DEAD LETTER LAW
Marketman Convicted of Selling In
pure Rabbits Is Fined 500
Another Case,

Assurance was given to the good
Bowman yesterday forenoon that the
pure food ordinance is neither a myth
nor a dead letter law-that the city
ordinance providing that all fOodstuff
and meats sold within the city must
be wholesome, fresh and thoroughly fit
for consumption, means just what it
says, and that the city officers, backed
by the court, will see that it is enforced.
Further, the marketmen of the city
were also so informed through the
medium of 500 fine imposed on z. H.
Maggie, a marketman at "A West First
South street, who was found guilty of
having sold rabbits that were neither
fresh nor wholesome.
Nagle's trial on the charge Of the vio-
lation of the pure food ordinance was
begun before Judge Bowman Friday
afternoon, and continued until yestsr-
day morning. Witnesses testified that
they had purchased rabbits that by rea-
son of their Odor betrayed their stale
condition and unfitness for consump-
ton as food. After finding Maggie guilty
of the charge brought against him.
Judge Bowman imposed the maximum
penalty of 500.
A decision in the case Of Thomas Po-
litz, proprietor of the Olympia Candy
company, who was also charged with q
violation of the pure food ordnance
will be rendered Monday. The specific
instance charged against Politz is that
out of sixty walnuts which he sold tC
