MAN AND WIFE
IN PISTOL DUEL
UNHAPPY MARRIAGE ENDS IN
DOUBLE SHOOTING
"SoUL MATE" ALLEGED BAR TO
RECONCILIATION
Shot in the Foot, Husband, Rushing
from House, Fires Twice Through
Door, Both Bullets Taking
Effect

Angered beyond control because she
believed her husband of a few weeks
had forSaken her for an affinity, Mrs.
Anna p. Adams of 1852 DAane street
shot her husband, inf1icting a painful
but not serious wound. She in her turn
was shot twice by the infuriated man.
The shooting followed a violent quarrel
at the woman's home shortly after 6
o'clock Sunday night. The woman is
under the care of a physician and the
police are searching for the husband.
Both Mrs. Adams and her husband
are Seventh Day Adventists. They be-
came acquainted at a church meeting,
and being enthusiastic members of the
congregation, soon became friendly. In
some manner, it is said, Adams learned
that the woman possessed considerable
wealth. Then, it is alleged, his friendly
attentions to her became more pro-
nounced. Finally he asked her to
marry him. She hesitated, but he per-
sisted, and she agreed to become his
wife.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. DR.. Adams of the
Seventh Day Adventist church Decem-
ber Z. On the way home from the
church the night of the wedding they
quarreled and parted. Mrs. Adams
went to her home at 1852 Duane street
and Adams to the home Of Mrs. L. E.
Cook, 2251 Duane street, across the
street from the home of his bride.
The couple continued to live apart,
and Sunday Adams went to the home
of his wife and endeavored to effect a
reconciliation. Meantime Mrs. Adams,
so she states learned that her husband
had a ''souI mate and would never i've
with her. This strengthened her deter
mination to have nothing to do with
him. When Adams broached the sub
ject of peace the woman refused to
make up. He then asked her If she was
willing to obtain a divorce.
81 want to get a divorce" he is al
legged to have said, but I haven't the
money. Will you put up money for
your part of it?'
Mrs Adams agreed to pay her share
Of the expense, and then the subject
turned to "affinities. Soon heated
words were exchanged, and Mrs. Adams
seized a revolver which she had bor-
roW'ed from a relative, fearing her hus-
band might offer her violence, and shot
Adams in the foot.
He staggered about the room and she
pushed him out Of the door and closed
It. Then he drew his revolver and sent
two shots through the panel. One Of
the bullets struck her In the left arm
and the other in the left shoulder.
Both wounds are painful, but not
serious.
After firing, the shots Adams realized
he was wounded. With a cry Of "My
God, I am shot! he rushed across the
street to his room, where, 1t is asserted.
bis affinity came and removed the
bullet.
The police were notified Of the affair
late Monday afternoon, but when they
reached Adams home he had fled.
When seen yesterday, Mrs. Adams
said she had placed the matter in the
hands of her attorney and would swear
to a complaint against her husband as
soon as she was able to leave her home.

CRAIG IS APPOINTED
LICENSE INSPECTOR
POLICE COMMISSION WILL
GIVE HIM FREE REIN
City Auditor Mushet Believes Large
Saving viii Be Made to Munich
paIity Through New
Office

With the unqualified promise from
the police commission that his hands
are not to be tied and with the full
assurance that he will be given every
support in enforcing the license or
dinance of the city, James A. Craig
yesterday was appointed by the police
commission to the position of police In
spector of licenses.
This is the position that has been
under consideration for several weeks.
On recommendation of City Auditor
Mushet the council created the position
after a two weeks delay and much
argument. When the ordinance was
passed the mayor held it up severai
days before approving, because he
thought it contained a conflict Of
authority.
The ordinance as worded gave the in
spector of licenses authority to direct
the patrolmen of the regular police
force in their work as license inspec-
tors. The mayor wanted it so worded
that, under the chief of police, the in
spector of licenses would have the
privilege of asking the patrolmen to
assist him in the inspection of licenses.
He asked the council to amend the
ordinance so it would read that way,
but the council wasn't feeling very
obliging that day and refused to do it.
AS the ordinance stands, Craig has
full authority to exercise supervision
over the police and see they do not
neglect the duty imposed on them by
ordinance of compelling every person
subject to the license ordinance to take
out a permit and pay the regular fee.
The city auditor believes the inspector
of license will bring thousands of dol
lars into the city treasury from license
dodgers. Craig's friends believe he has
the ability to enforce the license or
dinance to the fullest extent.
At the meeting of the commission
yesterday when it was made known
Craig was to be appointed to the posi-
tion he asked. the commissioners before
large number of persons in the COM
mission room if it was the intention to
give him a free hand. Every commits
sioner replied that he did so intend,
and wanted it understood that there
would be no interference with his work

can tell you, though, that favor the proposed
increase of salaries, for it is folly to think
that good men can be had for the amounts the
city is now paying for services
G. M. Giffen, real estate and insurance:
There is no question whatever about the pro-
priety Of both amendments Nos. and 4. The
election Of councimen at large would remove
the evils of campaigning and the direct pri-
mary would insure a more representative gov

ticians would oppose the measure, but that is
the more reason why good citizens should in

truth is that the adoption Of both amendments
would do much for cleaner government"

NO ROOM FOR THEM.

This coutnry is too beautiful to be cursed with Chinese coolies, by Japanese coolies, by black handlers, and by discharged pr is oners from European jails.
 Immigration from Europe has given to America some of the best there is in it, but within the last quarter of century the United States has been the dump. ground for European and Asiatic criminals. There is room in Ame- rica for Euporean immigrants of good moral character. There is no room for off -colored people of any character. The people of San Francisco protested against the presence Of Japanese child. ren in schools, and when they later acclaimed further against Chinese immigration, we of the Mississippi valley thought that they were bigoted and self ish. Instances like the killing of Miss Sigel show that after all, the people of the West were working for their own self-pres- ervation and self-preservation is the first law of men and ought to be the first law of the govern ment.
 For this reason the criminal or worthless character, no matter whether he is a French prince hunting the daughter of some foolish American mother whose husband developed from a cutter of cheese in a country store into a millionaire, or widowed an- archist from the lower order, should be barred out.
