SUED FORMER HUSBAND

The jury in the case of Bessie
Kellinger against William Kellin-
ger, her former husband, for
ST. 200 damages for injuries Sis
tanned by her property on First
avenue near Division, have ar
rived at verdict but 1t has been
sealed and win not be opened un-
til Monday.
Mrs. Kellinger claimed damages
on the ground that the blasting
carried on by her former husband
in excayating for new building
had damaged her property, adjoin-
ing his on the west. Prior hard
feelings that have existed since
the divorce Of the couple cropped
out in the hearing OF the case in

a hardened criminal, during which
he has spent 18 of his Al years in
the penitentiary.
Smith knew what conviction in
the Donald case meant, as he is
more familiar with the laws of
Washington on burglary and the
habitual criminal act than most
of the attorneys at the bar. On
hearing the verdict of the jury
read Smith leaped to, his feet and
asked Judge Hinkle to immediate
ly pass sentence. Deputy Prosecu-
tor Kizer told Smith not to be too
hasty, that he had yet some rights
coming, and that If sentence were
then passed it would cut off the
chance of an appeal.
The court ordered the prisoner
taken back to Jail until his attor-
neys can move for a new trial.

A PLEA FOR PEOPLES
PUBLIC PARK

object of this action of the city
council was not merely to keep the
highways open and unobstructed-
a sufficient object in itself, by the
way-but also to prevent labor
agitators,' as they are often con-
temptuously called, from express
ing their sometimes radical and
revolutionary ideas. Now, in COM
mon with all Anglo-SaxOns, l be-
lieve in the exercise of the right of
free speech, in the discussion of
political, religious and economic
questions, restricted only in the
case of religion so far as the utter
ance of blasphemy is concerned
an offense already punishable by
law; in labor matters, when de-
struction of life and property is
advocated, and in politics when
public mems characters are unjust
ly and malciously assailed.
In conclusion, I sincerely hope
that nothing l have said in respect
to street meetings will be con
strued as a blow aimed at such
religious organizations as the Sal
walton Army and the Volunteers of
America, for example.

HUNTS WORK TILL
HIS FEET FREEZE

When a Scotchman starts out
after anything it takes something
serious to stop him, a fact demon
strated at Occur d'Alene, where
John Thompson is in the county
hospital with both feet frozen. He
came to Spokane from Calgary
last fall in search of work. and not
finding it had walked all winter,
covering 600 miles in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho.
During the extreme cold snap
lately he walked from Bonner's
Ferry to Occur d'Alene, distance
of IA miles. His feet were frozen
on the trip, but not until he found
himself helpless would he ask aid.
Previously he had walked from
Spokane to Bonner's Ferry, a dis
lance of 115 miles.
The young fellow has a father
and mother dependent upon him in
Scotland. The doctor believes he
can save Thompson's feet.

WILL APPEAL NORTH
COAST CONDEMNATION

Judge Huneke's court has been
occupied all week with condemna-
ton suits of the North Coast rail
road. In the case of Rufus Mer-
riam a jury returned verdict for
Merriam assessing his damages for
the appropriation of two lots in
Chambers addition at $3375. The
evidence showed that Merriam
paid $4,000 for the ground one
year ago, but asked $4,000 from
the North Coast, which it will
probably be worth when the line
is built as trackage, but evidence
as to future value because of the
building of the North Coast was
shut out. Merriam says he will
appeal.

WILL ASK LIFE
PENALTY

The prosecuting attorneys Office
will ask that the life penalty be
visited upon George Smith, better
known as Montana Red" aged Al,
convicted of burglary by jury in
jury Hinkle's court yesterday even
ing.
This step will be taken under
the habitual criminal act, which
provides for life sentence for any
person who has been three times
convicted of a felony, regardless
of where the convictions occurred.
After sentence is passed by the
court an information must be filed
within five days charging the con-
victed party with being an habitual
criminal, and on the presentation
of the proper proof as to prior con-
victions the court can impose a
life sentence.
Superintendent Stauffer, of the
Merchants police. who arrested
Smith, says that he is one of the
most notorious burglars. Smith is
only one of the many aliases under
which he has gone, as his prison
record shows conviction under
three different names. Stauffer
says that Smith is the man who
committed the burglary at Mayor
Moore's residence, the home of At
torney s. r. Stern and other rob-
berries of like character that took
place about that time. He says
Smith Is the leader of a gang OF
burglars who swooped down on
Spokane about the time Smith
came here last fall, and that when
Smith was arrested the guiding
figure in the gang was removed.
About 20 minutes were con
sumed by the jury in arriving al
the guilt of Smith in the William
Donald Leonard hotel burglary
This conviction made the fifth fol-
burglary that has been visited
upon Smith in his long career a.

FOR HER
DAUGHTER

Mrs. Barnett Parker, sFfth tears
in her eyes, appeared in thsl supe-
rior court today in ans efdrt to
have the courts order Whereby her
daughter, aged Is years. was COM
mitted to the House OF the Good
Shepherd, set aside anu the girl
given her freedom. Tie Woman
claimed that two of heftsons one
eight years old and thet other two,
were afflicted with epHeptic fits
and had several spasmsN and
that it had become necessary to
keep her husband at Mme from
work to help look after the boys.
If the daughter were released she
could hip her look after the afflict-
ed brothers, the mother said, and
permit the husband to return to
work.
About 10 days ago the mother
tried to secure the girls release
through habeas corpus proceedings
in Judge Hunekes court on the
ground that she was being taught
the Catholic religion against the
mothers wishes. The court re-
fused to grant it.
Judge Hinkle heard Mrs. Park
er's plea, but felt that as the moth
err had already demonstrated her
inability to control the girl it was
not proper for the court to release
her at this time.

Mexican Church Greatest in Size.

Larger than Westminster, larger even
than St Paul's, is the Church of Santo
Domingo, Mexico. This great edifice,
renowned in many countries. is known
not only for its size, but for the beauty
and magnificence of its decorations and
the many historic events entwined in
it's history. The church was built on
consecrated ground. having been the
site Of the martyrdom of two Domini-
can priests, which were killed by In
dams in the time of Cortez.
BY 1850 there were a number Of Do
minican friars in OXaca, and the ques-
ton of erecting a church and convent
for the use of the order was agitated.
The exact date of the beginning is not
known. but it must have been shortly
after the middle of the sixteenth cen
tury they began the work with a few
laborers, who gave their services, and
every member of the order worked hard
collecting more funds. A petition was

contributions and there was no halt to

Saved From the Earthquake.

One IF the many beautiful works OF
art in the Cathedral Of Messina was the
magnificent Madonna of the Rosary,
by Antonello. When the cathedral fell
in ruins several months ago as the re-
suit Of the earthquake that decimated
Sicily, the handsome painting was
counted as lost.
The clouds of smoke and dust had
scarcely cleared away from trembling
Messina when Prof. Salinas, curator of
the art museum at Palermo, hurried to
the spot to try to recover such frag-
ments of art as the earthquake might
have spared. This famous Antonello
was what he hoped for most earnestly.
It was difficult even to find what had
been the museum, and was still more
difficult TO penetrate that vast heap Of
stone and plaster which covered its site.
But Prof. Salinas and his assistants
went to work with pickaxes and spades
and at last. through a crevice between
two fallen walls, they caught sight Of
the spot where the masterpiece had
hung. A mass of fallen walls covered it.
But they dug on until they had pene-
trated the gallery itself, and there, to
their immense joy, they found that
wall in falling toward the Antonello
had struck the wall above it and re-
manned intact, thus forming great pro-
tective screen, behind which hung the
treasure unchanged.
It required careful work to remove
this screen of shaking masonry, but
the task was accomplished, and the
picture was taken down, packed and
shipped to a safer place.
"The Madonna of the Rosary is a
triptych. and the panels on either side
are occupied by the figures of St Gre
CORY and ST. Benedict and above these
are two smaller panels, half figures of
the Annunciation and an angel. The
central upper panel has been missing
for many years
This painting of Antonello's is inter-
esting from a technical as well as from
an artistic standpoint. for Antonello
disputes with Van Eyck the honor OF
discovering the art of painting in oils
and this is believed to have been the
last picture he painted in tempers-
that is. with liquid colors directly upon
plaster. The best belief Of critics IS that
8ntonelIo learned the art of oil painting
from Van Eyck.

Why He Could Not Go to Her

home and loved ones were not far dis
tant. She was not so absorbed in glad
antlcipations, however, as to be oblivi-
Gus to the fact that a sorrowful woman
sat in remote corner of the cherries
waiting room. To be sure, she had not
spoken, but the tears which had been
furtively wiped away from time to time
were more eloquent than words; con-
sequently, with genuine longing to
lend a hand, if possible, the hitherto
light-hearted woman cautiously made
advances until the fearful one was led
TO say:
Il have been here to visit my son,
and now l am going to take the long
journey back to my desolate home He

VINO was looking forward to such a
joyous homegoing, was speeches. from
very sympathy, and after controlling
herself sufficiently to proceed the sor-
rowful one said:
Il have looked upon the face of my

to undertake this long journey again. -
''Oh, don't loose heart" urged the
sympathetic stranger. as the aged
speaker ended in sobs, for if you can
not come to him, he will surely go to

Then the broken-hearted mother
turned toward the window and with an
agonized look pointed TO the Michigan

lance, and said. in a despairing tone.
