THIS IS
UP TO
JUDGE
FAILURE TO BATTLE CAUSE OF
WIFE'S INSTITUTING SUIT
FOR DIVORCE FROM HUS-
BAND - DIVORCE COURT
BUSY TODAY.

Is failure to bathe regularly a
cause for divorce?
This question will be decided
by Judge Chapman when the de
vOrce suit of Mrs. Rebecca Sha-
peero against Jacob y. ShapeerO,
filed today, comes up for trial.
Shapeero would not take a
bath. He went for weeks at a
time without bathing or changing
those garments tnat are invisible
to the average eye. Also he was
lordly, domineering and stingy.
Also he drove Mrs. Shapeero from
the home. These things, Mrs.
Shapeero alleges, drove her to
such desperation that she must
have a separation.
Pansy l.. Arnold was granted a
divorce by Judge Chapman today
from Marvin Arnold, with a 80
day contingency that the case
can be reopened If Marvin re-
turns. Lenny Petrodi was given
a divorce from George on grounds
of desertion.
Pearl Saunders brought suit
against Lorin Saunders for threats
and refusal to support. Thressie
Mccullough sued Arthur j. Nc
Cullough because he deserted hel
in 1905 when she was sick in bed
Virgil sued Jennie Crider fol
having run away from him three
weeks after the wedding. They

SEATTLE, Nov. 25.--Iillian
u pretty Tacoma girl,
said to be a member of u well-tO-
do family i'm that city, committed
suicide by swallowing the con-
tents of a phial of carbolic acid
last night in her room at the Rey-
nOlds hotel. She had been en-
plOyed at the Lyric theater, local
burlesque house, as chorus girl
since Sunday, and IL Is believed
that the humiliation of her work
caused her to worry herself to a
pitch where she considered death
the only salvation.
Little is known of the girl. 1t
Is candidly asserted that the
name of Gribbens was assumed.
She left note which read, Tell

Gribben, at Milton. At this ad-
dress 1t was denied today that
there was a member of the family

In the family was in Seattle. There
is no Harry Day registered in the

1t is possible that the girls

that she adopted an assumed name

SECRETARY LISTER MAKES WEAK DEFENSE

Secretary Lister, hired by the school board,
rushes to the defense Of the board, as is quite
natural, to try to explain away the charges Of
extravaganza and mismanagement that have
been made.
Lister attempts to make a point on the fact
that for two years the board had levy reduced
from former years, but he neglects to state that
the reason for this was that the board was spend
ing $690000 which the people voted in bonds.
