$4,000 LEGACY ,
SPENT IN SINGLE DAY
Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison Gets
Divorce in Reno
[Special Dispatch 10 The Call

RENO. July 20.-It took John SerVlus
Van Clementsen Morrison just day
and night in Hongkong to get rid OF
a $4,000 legacy that had been left to
his wife. Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison, and
intrusted to his care. His wife OBJ
tanned a divorce here today.
Morrison, the youngest son of a
wealthy Irish family, was sent to the
orient because of his wild deeds. He
met his wife at Shanghai. He studied
there to become an instructor in the
Chinese army and returned to England
in 1900 to pass the examination. The
couple were married at Melton Con-
stable, a short distance from London,
April 16, 1900. They at once took ship
for the east. Changing ship at Hong
kong, Mrs. Morrison gave her husband
$4,000, which she had received at the
death of her father, to deposit in
bank there Morrison did not return
until the following night. He was ut
terly intoxicated and had spent the
entire sum.
John Pike of New Jersey, a sea cap
tain, was Mrs. Morrisons father. He
married in California, and his Spanish
wife died when Elizabeth was born.
The girl was placed in the Oakland
convent. Her father went to China,
where he piloted the first Chinese gun
boat up the Yangtse river and was
decorated with the royal dragon by the
dowager empress. A large monument
erected by the Chinese government
marks Pixies grave near Shanghai.
