SENSATIONAL OFFER IS MADE
By Local Business Men---Over Score

More than score of cases of
sickness that require the attention
of Emergency Hospital Physician
O'Shea exist in the city Jail among
Industrial Workers of the World,
as the result of the prevailing hun
GER strike and cramped conditions
in the bastiIe. According to Or.
O'Shea's statements, none of the
men are in serious condition, and
1t would seem that as a rule t'ieir
sickness has been brought about
by their refusal to eat the proffer-
ed bread and water. Police officials
in charge of the city jail say that
those on the hunger strike thrust
the plates of bread and water back
out of their cells and scatter them
about the corridors of the jaib
when given them.
A spirit of indignation was
spread among the revolutionary
forces this morning when it was
learned that the proprietor Of To-

Of "4O00'
DIVORCED
MRS. JOHN JACOB ASTOR GETS
ABSOLUTE DECREE.
NV United press,l

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Mrs. John
Jacob Astor today was divorced
from her husband, the New York
millionaire. Mrs. Aston is the ac-
knowiedged leader of the flour hun
dred."
News that she had applied for a
divorce recently created a sensa-
ton in local society. The hearing
was held behind closed doors, and
this is the reason the suit was
never given to the public.
Justice Mills, who gave the de-
cision, granted an absolute divorce,
and ordered the papers in the case
sealed. AS there is only one
ground in New York on which alb
solute divorce is granted, society
people are anxious to learn the de-
tails Of the affair, and the name of
the correspondent in the case.
Astor offered no defense in the
suit, and is now cruising in south
ern waters.
The proceedings consumed less
than minute. 1t is reported that
Mrs. Astor will receive $10,000,000
In lieu of alimony. She is to have
the custody of her daughter, while
the son remains with the colonel.
Attorney Cadwallader appeared
before Judge Mills and handed him
bundle of papers, saying: Il wish
to present to you the report of G..

Judge Mills said: Il have read

The justice then instructed Cad

absolute divorce in Mrs. Astor's
favor, and that he would sign It,

PARIS PAWNSHOPS MAY SOON
SELL ABDUL AZIZ'S DIAMONDS

The French government, under
which the pawnshops are run, finds
itself in quandary. 1t scarcely
knows whether to sell Abdul Aziz's
iems or not. But they have been
retained longer than usual and all
efforts to have the spendthrift re-
deem them have proved fruitiess.
So some time during this month it
is quite probable that the sale will
take place. 1t is expected that the
amount paid for them will run up
to half a million dollars.

CITY WATER IS
HIGHER THAN
FLOUR HERE

"Think of It'll" remarked
Councilman Leonard Funk to-
day, "my water costs me more
than my flour, and goodness
knows that flour is high
enough"
The First ward councilman
thinks that the cost of city
water in Spokane is exorbitant,
and proposes a move to reduce
the price. Water is higher in
Spokane than In most cities of
the country, all of which helps
to add to the already high cost
of living here.
Councilman Funk thinks that
since the city is making hand
some porfit on the water sold
for domestic use, and that there
is a movement on foot to make
the general taxpayers bear
some of the burdens that are
now shouldered upon the water
users, the time has come for a
downward revision Of the water
rates.

This was hurled at Frank Post,
leading counsel for Mrs. Ellen NJ.

from Ed Young, the we'll known
real estate man, by DR.. John M.

knows more about Mrs. Young's

the sensational trial.
1t would seem that DR.. Semple
was justified in making the state
ment, for Immediately afterward
Attorney Post insinuated that the
physician had consulted with
Young's attorneys after being sub
poened by the court, and in the
exchange of words that followed
DR.. Semple was excused from
further duty in the case.
Mr., Post was decidedly unjust
when he made the insinuation, "

thing for me to do was to resent
it,"

attack"
1t is more than likely that an
examining board will be appointed
by Judge Huneke to report on the
mental condition of Mrs. Young.
Attorney Post stated this morning
that he did not wish DIR. Semple to
be conferred with by the men who
will inquire into the sanity OF his
client.

After the carbolic acid order had
