Asserting on the witness stand
this morning that his wife had
never loved him but had married
him for her own convenience, G..
II. Redeker, eX-minister suing for
divorce, declared that he had only
two months of happiness i'm his IL
years of life with Mrs. Redeker.
About two months after we
were married." Redeker related,
"she informed me that sire had
married me because her brother
had told her | was making the
best wages of any man at the fac
tory outside of the superintend-
ent, and was sober and indus
trious. After that she was con-
stantly nagging me year in and
year out"
"And why had you stood for
this for II years, eh?" ASKED II.
e. Noal, counsel for the absent
defendant.
Because there never has been
any stain on our name" replied
the former pastor. 81 shrank
from the ordeal of undergoing a
divorce trial"
Redeker admitted that his wife
was one of the best housekeepers
that he had ever seen, but said
she had the wrong temperament.
Before he married her, he, declar-
ed that she objected to his enter
ing the ministry. After marriage
she didn't seem to care, he says.
immortality and other grave
charges were ascribed to Redeker
when deposition from the absent
defendant was read yesterday aft
ernoon.
In her deposition she says that
Redeker had habit of keeping
company with other women In the
East, and that he was put out of
the United Evangelical ministry.
She declares he preached for the
Methodist Protestant church in
Baltimore for six years and then
resigned by request.
The deposition further relates
that she supported him with her
earnings while he studied for the
ministry. She states that he fail
ed to get divorce from her in

TOTAL OF $40, ,00O,OO0 NOW
IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
S2,000,000 OF
NEW MONEY IN
THE CITY NOW

Over $2,OOO,OOO of new money
has been dumped into Tacoma in
the last two months.
This is no guess work, not
somebody's opinion, but the facts
as shown by the actual figures Of
the bank deposits.
Never before in the history of
this city have the bank deposits
here reached a total of $2O,O0O,-
600 until now they have lOomed
up more than a million above this
mark. Every bank in town, ex-
cepting the little North Pacific
bank of South Tacoma shows big
gains. Tacoma banks gained 9.5
per cent in deposits in two
months. This is unprecedented.
Seattle gained in the same time
So per cent and is making great
blow.
It happens that February a
call was made for a report and
again April 4. This gave period
of just two months intervening.
And that two months shows the
greatest prosperity in the history
of this city.

The council this morning pass
ed the ordinance submitting the
bonds for sewers, roads and the
municipal farm and street railway
to the people on May 10.
The municipal farm is put in
for 100000, but only $4,000 of
lis to be issued i'm bonds, accord
ing TO Commissioner Mills. The
rest will be warrants at 6 per
cent, which will be retired from
the tax levies in the next five
years.
The $4,000 for the municipal
railway Is for the line complete,
with track, car barns, repair shop
and four big cars with motor
equipment. ta
1t is question whether the
enemies of municipal ownership
can get the city commission to
head off the bond vote for the
municipal street railway line by
turning the Eleventh street bridge
line over to the Stone-Webster
people.
"It would be foolish to con-
slider such a proposition now art
er we have submitted the ques-
tion of line to the people," said
Commissioner Lawson this morn
ing. eff the people vote down
the municipal line then l would
be willing to let the T. r. & p.
or any other line go over there"
Commissioner Mills said there
was a plan on to simply let the
Stone-Webster people build a
line across without giving them
a franchise.

Montana, came East to effect
reconciliation and borrowed
money to go west again, promis-
ing to send her $40 each month
for the support Of the family.
Redeker was asked to explain
the statement or his daughter
Ruth that he had been caught
one day holding a young lady on
his lap. The ex-minister re-
sponded that he had no recollec-
tion of such a thing unless 1t
might have been one of two girl
chums of his daughters, the old
est of whom was 16, who had the
run of the house and who were
very fond of him.
He alleged that he was never
dismissed from any church as his
wife charges, but that her con-
tinual fighting with members OF
his flock forced him to give It up.
She objected to his visits to peo-
pie in his pastorate, which he

ST. LOUIS, April o. - After
calmly breaking a plate over the
head of her husband, Charles j..
Anderson, millionaire attorney,
Mrs. Kate Edna Anderson as calm
ly retired to the front porch to
read the evening paper, she testi-
fed at the trial of her husbands
suit for divorce.
Mrs. Anderson's testimony was
given to refute his charges that
she "quarreled and attacked him
with display of anger and vio-
lence" and that she threw chill
dren's building blocds at his bare

it would get less effete the far
ther west you went. That was
good logic.
So Pratt returned to America,
and kept right on going west un-
til he nearly went, splash! into
the Pacific ocean. Which is our
comical way of saying he came
to Tacoma, in 1900.
He went to work as editor of a
morning paper.
Everybody was pretty blue
when Pratt hit town. Not be-
cause Pratt had hit towr, but be-
cause the panic had. The panic
got here before Pratt did.
Pratt took one look at Pacific
avenue, deserted and forlorn,
drew long breath, and said with
convictions:
when things get as bad as they
can be, they can't get worse. Ergo,
they must get better. l like this
town fine. Its future is i'm
mense."
Wherewith he began compiling
statistics Tacoma statistics
which proved all his claims.
Pratt can do anything with sta
tistics. For him they will stand
on their hind legs, play dead,
speak, beg and roll over.
Pratt came to believe in his sta
tistics. What's more, he made
other people believe in them.
In 1905 he left journalism to
become secretary of the chamber
of commerce. In 1907 he organ
ized the National Realty company,
of which the next year he was
made president.
He built Tacoma's tallest sky
scraper. He boosted and boosted
and boosted. And most of his
statistics have become true al
ready.
Pratt is a stoutish, iovial man,
and his head is fascinatingly bald
and shiny. A few years ago he
went east on boost trip. In
Salt Lake he talked long and elo-
quently of our sun-kissed peak, -
and straightaway the clever Fish
er Harris named him Sun-kissed
Peak" Pratt.
1 called on Pratt today at his
office on the 18th floor of his
slxyscraper. He took me to the
window, and together we looked
down and down and down to q
little square corner lot.

STRIKERS FIRE
ON j. s. ARMY
OFFICER

BUFFALO, April 9.-(By Unit
ed ss.)-Sergeant Wardup,
commanding the Seventh regi-
ment, United States army, while
commanding dozen scouts on
special mounts, was fired upon by
a gang of street car strikers and
sympathizers early today. No one
was hurt.
The assailants escaped without
being recognized. Following the
trouble General Welsh ordered
the militia to fire on any man seen
picking up rocks.
Orders were issued last night
for immediate mastering of 5000
state militia men to report for
duty here.
There is little hope of a strike
settlement today following the
failure to bring about a meeting
between the officials of the Inter-
national Railway company lines
and strike leaders.
Almost every line in the city is
tied up.

Tacoma is for government own
ership of the whole telephone and
telegraph system.
This morning the city commits
sion received a resolution from
the Cleveland city council me-
m0rializing congress TO take im-
mediate steps to take over or to
build a complete government sys-
tenn of telephone and telegraph
service as a branch of the postal
service.
"I'm for that" said Commits
sioner Woods.
Commissioner Freeland inn
mediately moved that the city att
torney be instructed to draw up
a similar resolution Tor Tacoma
which will be adopted at the next
meeting and forwarded to Wash
ington.
In the meantime the franchise
of the A. D. T., branch of the
Western Union, which is coupled
up with the Bell telephone, was
held up.
"I want to say I will not vote
for any franchise to this company
that in any way has bearing on
the telephone situation; l would
rather they would go ahead as
they are," said Mills and the 9TH
er councilmen seemed to aagree
with him.
The commission seems to be a
unit for government ownership of
the whole telephone system.
