Ithe jury deciding that Wood had
taken advantage of the girl by
force.
The story of the downfall of
Marion Orr as told in court was
not a pleasant one. Her home
was in the suburb of Dorchester,
and she was little more than a
child when she met Wood. She
was unsophistIcated and foolish.
She allowed a woman who knew
Woods ways to introduce her to
him on the street. In a few days,
she told the jury, Wood proposed
to her.
Then he asked Marion to go to
his room to lunch. She said she
trusted him, because she knew she
was engaged to him.
After that he denied that he
had promised to marry her. He
would do nothing for her or the
baby, and she suod for $4,000
damages for breach of promise
and $4,000 for the assault In his.
room.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK, March 23.-The
trial of Jack Johnson, negro
heavyweight champion, developed
a threat from Judge Mulquee4
today to have a grand jury probe
into the disappearance of Norman
Pinder, the negro Johnson is ac-
cused of having attacked.
When Johnson's trial came up
on the calendar today 1t was dis
covered that Pinder was missing.
"This court will not be trif!ed
with" declared Judge Mulqueen.
81 intend to have a grand jury
investigation into the cause for
the disappearance of the prose-
cutting witness and of other wit
nesses."
Johnson will have a more serI-
Gus charge than assault to face
If it developes that he spirited
the witness out of the jurisdic-
tion of the court.
The court ordered Johnson's s
trial continued and the defend
ants release ON $1,000 bail. John
son is accused by Pinder of hay-
ing made deadly assault upon
him at the resort of Baron Will
kens on West 35th street.
The dusky champion failed "to
come across" with the necessa ry
bond and was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff until he
gets sufficient security.
Pinder alleged that he asked
johnson to join him and Mrs.
Pinder in a social glass and that
johnson ordered wine. This was
too much for Pinder, who re-
marked: 81 knew you when Won
were glad to drink beer out IF
a bucket"
Whereat Johnson arose in
mighty wrath and is alleged to
have swatted Mr.. Pinder, a frail
consumptive, with his mighty
fists, a few beer glasses and a
deal table.

COUNTY HAS POWER TO BUST ABSTRACT TRUST
Reno, Refuge of Heavy Hearts and Foolish
Weds Where Mismates Flock to Get Divorces

the gods and Nevada jurisprud-
ence will do the rest.
Reno is cosmopolitan. The pet
ted daughter of the 400 and the
darling of the theater-going pub
lie rub Parisian-gowned elbows
with the blanket-d"apeds squaw. :
Divorces are as thick as show
girls along the Great White Way.
You see them, grand danes, act
resses, newly-weds, foolish-weds,
sufferers from the affinity thing,
artists, professional and business
men. The men aren't so notice
able, they lose their identity so
easily. But whoever heard of a
woman losing anything like an
identity?
It's easy for those who chafe
in double harness to trot single.
That passage, Whom God hath
Joined together let no man put
asunder," is as meaningless in
Reno as Sanskrit to a Digger In
dian.
The colonists, as the supplicants
are known, live apart from the Re-
notes. They have as much chance
to break through society's barrier
as a high grader has of escaping if
caught with the goods. There is a
reason.
Less than a year ago Margaret
IIllington-Frohman came here
with her mother, to secure the
residence necessary to apply for
divorce. She declared she was
sick of the stage, and wanted to
wed for kiddlcs and to darn her
husbands socks. society took up
Mrs. Frohman, and no sooner had
her divorce been obtained
than she married, here in Reno,
E. J. Bowes of Tacoma. Society
was shocked, and now a divorce
cant break in vita a stick of dy
Mantle.
Why is Reno haven for
heavy hearts? Read the answer
in the statutes:

RENO, New, March 23.-When
South Dakota amended it's resi-
dence requirement Srom six months
to one year, Nevada sent Reno and
Goldfield to the post in the Great
Divorce Stakes as e coupled entry.
Nevada started as a territory
with the loosest divorce laws ever
written, and she didn't change
them when she became a state.
Hence Reno is to the unhappily
mated what Mecca is to the Mo-
hammedan. Matrimony's gordian
knot is no mystery here. And
what is said for Reno goes for
Goldfield, never heard of until
TEX" Rickard staged the first
Gans-Nelson fight.
Within the past six months, 90
divorces have been granted by
Judges w. H. A. Pike and John s..
Orr. The divorce colony numbers
about $50, with additions coming
atthe rate of six week.
Within the last six months,
women whose names are well
known in various ways have been
divorced from Undesirable" hus-
bands. The most prominent are
Mrs. Frederick Lewis Colwell, Mrs
Keith Donaldson, Mrs. Henry
Spies Kip, Mrs. VIM. Lee Stod-
dard, Mrs. Elihu B. Frost, Mrs.
Daniel Frohman (who was Mar
garet Illington), Mrs. Lucien c.

Mrs. Geo. Leeds Zell. The latest
prominent arrival is Virginia Har-

HATE TO
LOSE THAT BIG
INTEREST GRAB

The council will tonight again
have up the question of those
power plant warrants.
The original scheme to saddle
the interest bearing debt on the
people for 25 years has been
blocked, but the interests deter.
mined to stop the carrying out OF
the plan as voted for by the peo-
pie have been busy and every
compromise reached is nearer to
their wishes.
When the whole thing was
blocked last week the judiciary
committee voted to change the
scheme to pay $150.000 a year
after three years for ten years,
and then the city was to have
the option of paying the debt as
fast as desired.
Judge Stiles told the commit
tee yesterday this could not be
done, that definite time must
be fixed. In the juggling follow
ing this ruling of the attorney
the period of payment was strung
out again and the committee I'm
ally all agreed to a proposition
to begin paying $150,O0O in
three years and pay it for ten
years and then pay 100000 for
the next few years until the debt
Is paid.

VANCOUVER, Ii. c., March 23.
The tug Arthur B of Tacoma,
bound from that port TO VancOu-
yer with cargo of plaster, foun-
dered last night off Sand Heads at
the mouth of the Fraser, and as
far as known all hands on board
were lost. The fOundering was

render any assistance, and that
the vessel went over so quickly
that it could not have been possi-
BILE to have gotten a boat launch
ed. If one was launched il went
down i'm the swirl with the tug,
because nothing was seen afloat
after the tug went down.
The tug put out from the Stew
enson wharf about 8 o'clock last
night, and it would be about $3.50
o'clock when she went down. There
was a strong wind blowing at the
time and it is thought that the tug
got a List that shifted her deck
load and went over without the
crew having chance to save
themselves. She sank I'm about %
feet of water. What crew the Ar
thur B had is not known here, but
there would be six or seven at
least.

GOODS - HE BLAMES HIS

John /. Fitch, the electrician
arrested Monday for wholesale
furniture thefts, did not stop at
purloining articles with which to
decorate his home. but even stole
parts Of houses, tools, hose and a
long list of other articles.
Today Mrs. Fletcher appeared
and identified three doors, three
window and three door frames in
Fitch's home, which were stolen
from her residence. 1901 Park
avenue, some time ago. Fitch had
the doors in his own house.
Numerous callers inspected the
supposed stolen articles today,
and many of them found their
goods.
G. E. Burn identified a 50-foot
hose that had been taken from his
residence at 1885 South Park ave-
nue., and Mr.. Martin of the Mar
tin-Vaute Grocery company, dis
covered a wash boiler and a box
of cinnamon that they had missed
a short time ago.
The Tacoma Gas company
claimed goods consisting of a
complete set of articles for the
demonstration of cooking by gas,
valued at $54, which were stolen
from the Plymouth church build
ing. South Forty-fifth street and
Yakima avenue.
Other persons who found their
missing goods were: DR.. C. d.

Blames His Wife.
Fitch claims that his young
wife not only of his thefts, but
urged him to continue his night
raids on vacant furnished houses.
He told the police today that his
wife's desire to have their home
richly furnished was his only mo-
tive for turning thief, and after
he once started he didn't know
when to quit. He has made no
effort, so far as the police can
learn, to sell his stolen goods, but
seemed to be content to have them
piled about him in his home.
Fitch always used a push cart
when making his night raids, and
often worked an entire night TAX
ing his loot to his home. On
some of his trips he says his
wife accompanied him and helped
him load on the heavy articles of
furniture. 80
