spoke the words that made the first

and of the two evils, although
polygamy is a terrible thing, it is
better than indiscriminate divorces,

as the prince of Wales, first met
her. She was at that time bank

poorer younger sons of a nObleman.

circle.
But all this seemed to change
soon afterwards. Mrs. Keppel BIOS

GEORGE v. IS
THE BIGGEST

NETWORK, May 27.--That
King George v is the biggest
and strongest man mentally
that ever assembled the British
throne is the opinion Of Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle. Believing
that tho people of the United
States regarded King George as
man of smaller caliber than
his father, the late King Ed
ward, Doyle wrote his views in
communication which he re.
quests John kendrick Bangs,
the humorist, to make public in
America.
Sir Arthur declared that King
George has greater familiar
ity with the needs and resour-
ces Of the British nation than
any one man in England. He
says the king is lover Of
manly sports and is himself
one of the best marksmen in
the kingdom.

A further charge she makes is
that Bush prevailed upon her to

ments.

nights after our first meeting,
likely in order to make me feel
under obligations to him, he tip

for the police were coming to raid
the place. At that time | was sick
and evaded arrest by going into
the housekeeper's room. After that
Bush was a steady caller at my

staying three or four hours. He
came so many times just when

SEEK LIGHT
On PULL Of
DAVENPORT
A COMMITTEE OF UNION WAIT.
Frs WANTS TO KNOW
WHY CATERER Is
IMMUNE.

A committee from the walters
union visited the city hall this fore
noon to see why c. d. Harmon, head
of the crematory department, was
not compelling L. M. Davenport. the
restaurant man, to live up to the
provisions of the city ordinances
governing the removal of garbage,
the same as other citizens are
forced to abide by it.
Harmon could not enlighten the
committee, so they then visited G..
w. Armstrong, secretary of the
board Of public works. Armstrong
tried to tell the committee how 1t
was, but the information did not
evidently satisfy the committee, as
Armstrong was seen in vigorous
gestures trying to explain why it
was that Davenport looked different
to the city hall than other citizens.
A city ordinance gives the NUM-
cipality sole right to remove gar
bage, ashes and refuse matter gen.
orally. The only exception that is
made is in the case Of an officer of
the crematory department, and
Davenport for a long time wore the
badge Of a deputy. Harmon re-
moved the badge and said what he
was going to- do to Davenport, but
he never got any further.
The higher ups" are believed to
have called off Harmon, as he has
remained very quiet on the Daven-
port matter for the last two months.
Davenport stands well with the rul-
ing forces in the city government.
Harmon told The Press that DAY.
export saved $50 a month by having
a private concern haul away his
refuse matter. This is 5000 per an
mum and to the average business
man this looks large.
The Spokane hotel is another in
stitution that enjoys this privilege
from immunity from the operation
of the crematory ordinances.

Utley continued to argue and fin
ally one of the inspectors attempted
to take the ring off his finger. He
soon found that the finger, smashed
in catching foul ball. had broken
it in such a way that the ring could
not be taken off without amputating
the finger or saving the ring in two.
They reversed their decision and
declared Utley a nonresident.
