WOMAN ALLEGES HUSBAND
DESERTED HER AND MAR
RIED ANOTHER DIVORCE
MILL GRINDS FREELY,

Welded in Tacoma on Christ
mas day, five years ago, Mrs. r.
T. Sullivant, formerly Miss Leila
M. Shaw of this city, is suing her
husband in the superior court for
divorce on the grounds of aban-
Idonment.
After their marriage, the cou-
pie went to Reno, New, where
they lived happily until Mrs. Sui
livant returned to Tacoma in
August, 1907, because of the seri-
GUS illness of her father. She
wrote letters. to her husband in
Nevada, but received no reply. A
number of other letters also
brought back no answer, and she
never saw her husband again.
Recently, Mrs. Sullivant says,
she heard that he had remarked.
Mrs. IneZ Acheson was given a
divorce by Judge Clifford from
Addison T. Acheson. The grounds
were abandonment and non-sup-
port. The woman told that for
two years her husband contribute
ed less than $50 for the support of
her and four children. They were
married in Victoria, B. c., May
20, 1901. The decree gives Mrs.
Acheson the custody of the two
daughters, Jeanette and Emma,
but the father is to have the two
lboys, Earl and George.
After having been married for
100 years, Louisa Beach was freed
from Henry d. Beach by Judge
Chapman upon the showing that
the husband had left her IL
years ago, going to Alaska and
never communicating with his
wife afterward. There are four
children as issue of the marriage,
Divorce proceedings were be-
gun today by Josephine Crawford
against John Crawford, whom she
charges with abandonment. Thew
were married in Juneau, Alaska
in 1902. and in 1907, the wife
alleges, Crawford sent her and
their daughter to. her relatives in
Pierce county, and then severed
all connections with them. The
wife wrote to him repeatedly, she
says, but never received any
answers.

OF Only Twenty Seven at
This Time

WASHINGTON, July SWIM tho income
tax ever bceome a law through amend
ment of the Constitution by the IS States
whose assent is nccessaryg
This question is being discussed here,
and the negative answer given By most Of
the able lawyers who looked into tho mat
Ter was responsible for the unanimous
vote given the resolution for a consttu-
tional amendment ia the Senate on Mon
day
Even the most enthusiastic supporters Of
the income tax are not intoxicated by the
hope that two-thirds Of the tSate iegisla-
tures VIII take favorable action. Getting
down to cold figures. no one can see at
this time a safe majority for the adop-
ton of the amendment. To secure ratifca-
ion. the amendment must carry So States.
Twelve states rejecting Il will prevent It's
adoption Ey not acting either Affirmative
ly or negatively. few states may pre-
vent the necessary three -fourths major
ity.
The States which az This time are re-
garded as reasonably sure to adopt the
proposed amendment are Arkansas Colo
rado. Georgia. Idaho. Indiana, Iowa. KAN
sas, Kentucky. Michigan. Minnesota. Mis-
sisslppi Montana, Nevada North Caro-
lima, North Dakota, oklahoma. oregon.
South Cafolina. South Dakota, Tcnnos sec.
Texas. Virginia, Washington Wisconsin
and Wyoming.
In this list are % States or less than
the number required TO adopt the amend
mon..
In the doubtful column are placed Mary
land, Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Calfor-
mia. utah. Louisiana. West Virginia Ohio
and Now York
In this doubtful group are 20 States and
in the third group of statcs-uiose which
arc regarded by reason Of dominating in-
flucnccs to bo reasonably sure 10 reject
tho amendments the following nine
states. Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont.
Massachusetts. Delaware Connecticut,
Rhode Island. PENNSYLVANIA and New Jor-
SOY.
The latter group. II will he noticed, cm-
braces all Of New England. The casual
observer win hc inclined to believe some
of these states to be al least doubtful,
but d is purposcd bore merely 10 give
tho views Of persons Who arc very much
Interested I'm the matter and who have all

SOL NEVER SETS
ON The GAME
EneIandS Boast Not In 1t
With American Base
Ball

These British cousins, with their
pleasant boast-written for them by
an American. incidentally-that the
revelle Of Britain's outposts marks the
hours all round the world, haven't
50 much on the great American base
ball game with their old reveille.
It's getting now that baseball is in
season somewhere all the year
through. The season on the canal
zone closed only a short time age,
about tho time the season in The
States was getting fairly started. Out
in the PHILIPPINES the soldiers do a
ogod deal of ball playing when the
snow is a foot deep on the famous dia-
monds in this country. and in South
ern California they start a new sea-
son about the time the regular sched-
ule is played out in the East.
Everything has to make way for
baseball. In some cities they are put
ting the daylight conservation
mo, cment on trial. chiefly because the
men want to start early and stop work
to see the BAN game before dinner.
Up in Canada. where the rush of
Americans has swept the baseball game
into such favor that cricket is a bad
second, they start the game after din
ner and have plenty of daylight in
which to play out an eXtra-inning con-
test What if it does last till OF
$50? That's as goood a time for
baseball as il is for a theatre " the
daylight holds out; and it does, up
there.
