on the public, especially that part of
it having children who traverse the
entire breadth of the city on their
way to school and who will pass in

seen. AS yet Mayor Arm5ruster
states that he has refused to sanction
any of the sites or plans offered the

lem. Several representative men have
stated. however, that a relocation

GOOD SPACE IS SECURED
THIS County May Erect Separate
Building for General Display Aside
From Artistic Design.

SEATTLE, Jan. IS Especial --
We selected a larger booth IN the
horticultural building and selected
splendid site for Yakima county
building. All for all of Yakima.
(signed) COMMITTEE.
The foregoing is the text Of tele-
gram received by the Herald last ev-
ening from the committee composed
of Messrs. irish. Cline, Weigel and
Henry Brothers, who were appointed
to visit the offaoials of the Seattle eX-
position and attempt to unravel the
exhibit tangie. That their mission
has been more than successful is as
sured.
Although definite plans are yet to
be made, it is probable that an eff
fort will be made to have two exhi-
bits, one an artistic display of fruit,
after the design made by Henry Pohl,
the New York designer, and the 9TH
er a general exhibit which will be rep
resentative of the whole Yakima val
ley, including all of the products
which are raised in this section.
Many Of the counties of the state
are planning for separate buildings,
notably Chehalis county, which has
plans drawn for very elaborate
structure costing many thousands of
dollars. 1t will probably be imprac-
teal for Yakima to go into the affair
quite so strong as that inasmuch as
two displays are planned, but that
the exhibits will be something that
the people of this county need not
be ashamed Of. is assured if the state
ments made by those in authority are
to be taken as an indicator.
It is not as yet settled whether the
artistic display will be in the sep
arate building or in the horticultural
building.

The commissioners will have little
road work to consider at this meet

will face the three officials is the
subdividing and Encouragement of the
three present road districts. There
will be either four or five districts

LANCASTER TO SPEAK HERE

Sam Lancaster, probably the best
known speaker on good roads in
Washington is TO speak in North
Yakima in the near future, the an
nouncement being made that he will
deliver an address at the Yakima
Commercial club. The date has not
been set, but Lancaster will be here
in the very near future.
At every good roads meeting Of
Importance in the state, Sam Ian
caster has been one of the moving
spirits. Through his work much pro-
gress has been made in this direction.
1t is expected that the Yakima
Good Roads association, formed by
leading men of Yakima county, will
take special interest in this address
and that Lancaster will be greeted
by an audience of several hundred
persons when he comes to this city.
He is now speaking at various coast
cities.

North Yakima will enforce the dog
tax ordinance. Such is the state
mert of Mayor Armbruster. who has
City Clerk Brooker to secure
the necessary tags for issue during
the year 1909.
In 1908 there were l54 licensed
dogs in North Yakima. and about five
times that number of unlicensed ami
mails. The new licenses will be is
sued on February ! and will be good
until a year from February.
Mayor Armbruster has not decided
whether there will be special officer
to look after the dog tax or not this
year, but the professional dog catcher

MAY CHANGE BILL TO CODE
Carrying as Severe Criminal Pro.
visions as Does Hanson's
Measure.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 28.--The senate
today compelled the anti-race track
gambling bill. which has passed the
house. to give way to a criminal code,
soon to be settled by the commission
which has been at work for several
weeks. The code. it is announced,
will contain anti-race track gamb
ling provisions as strict as those in
the Hanson bill. The hackers of
Hanson's bin sought to secure i'm
mediate consideration of the bill by
attempting to refer it to the public
morals committee, with the under
standing that it he reported back this
afternoon. The motion failed, 81 to
IA.
The bill then went to the judiciary
committee. Chairman Graves of this
committee had previously announced
that If the criminal code covered the
subject it would receive preference
in the committee report. The action
on the bill has disposed of considera-
ton of the race track gambling bill
for possibly two weeks. If the pro-
visions are substituted by the Grim
inal code law, it will not be effective
until June. permitting half OF a racing
season
The house reconsidered this af-
ternoon the vote of the house on the
eight hour law, which was passed yes
terday. Friends of the measure con
the committee to incorporate amend
ments that will exclude the fish can
neries from the provisions of the act.

SAYS MARRIAGE is PRETENDED
Divorced Wife of Howard r. Thonr-
son Questions Her Interest in
Property.

Statements that the marriage of
Mrs Pearl Crouch Thompson to How
ard F. Thompson is only pretended
and that the former has no real right
and interest to property interests of
Thompson are made in suit that has
been started in the superior court
in which Mrs. Belle G. Thompson
divorced wife of Thompson, asks for
restraining order against Thomp-
son transferring equity in certain
Mob Hill land, and asks that the prop
erty interest be awarded to her in
lieu Of unpaid ahmony.
Mrs. Thompson says that Mrs.
Pearl Thompson claims that she has
an interest in the property, and
claims that Thompson married before
the time that such marriage was
permitted, according to the decree
of the court.
Thompson's alimony troubles have
been numerous in the superior court
and he was summoned before Judge
Preb1e at one time under contempt
OF court proceedings. The new pa
pers show that part of the alimouy
was paid, and that there is now due
amounts for October. November. De-
cember and January.

And Other Kindred Cruelties Told in
Divorce Proceedings of Cotton
Merchants Wife.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-ln
granting the divorce to Mrs. Alice E.
Hall, wife of w. r. Hall, Louisiana
cotton merchant, Judge Graham said
today that the tale of the husbands
cruelties as recited by Mrs. Hall was

many years of divorce court work.
Mrs. Hall said while living with Hall
in a cottage at the edge of a swamp.
two miles from Alexandria, La, the
husband had repeatedly fastened her
feet to the ceiling beam with a rope
and as she swung thus, head down
ward, he beat her face numerically,
as a boxer in training rains blows
on punching bag. He wore gloves
during the process in order to pro-
.tect his hands from injury.
Not content with this, Hall, his
wife declares, took her out in the
swamp in small boat at night and,
after compelling her to disrobe.
forced her to jump into the water
and swim to tree, where she chung
naked and shivering until he chose to
return for her. The Halls were mar
ried in Oakland, where Mrs. Halls
mother lives. Hall Is In Louisiana
and allowed the proceedings to go
by default.
