WOMAN GETS
DOUBLE DIVORCE
First Husband Believed Dead,
Proves Alive and Leads to
Complications.

MONTESANO, Feb. ia news
paper story and the peculiar marriage
and divorce laws of the state of
Washington played an important part
in modern Enoch Arden story here
Tuesday, when Mrs. Clara Thornton
was granted a divorce from her hus-
band, Lee Thornton, who returned
after she had thought him dead. By
her side in the court room sat her
second husband, Charles Wilson, and
their three children.
Several years ago Clara Sanford
was married to Lee Thornton, who lat
err deserted her and left for parts un-
known. Several months afterwards,
Mrs. Thornton read in newspaper
story of the death of one Lee
Thornton, and thinking this to be her
husband, was later married to Charles
Wilson Three children were born.
Weeps as She Tells Tale
The suddenly Thornton, the legal
lluSDdHu, IetuTueu HOIllc dIlu IOuuu HIS
wife married to another Mrs. Thorn
ton started suit TO rdivorce and Tues
day in court told Superior Judge Ben
Sheeks the sad story, tears stream
ing down her face.
To prove her contention that she
believed her husband dead, ragged
little newspaper clipping telling of the
death of Lee Thornton in a Skagit
county logging camp, was produced
as evidence. She was granted the di-
vorce Owing to the fact that laws
make it misdemeanor to marry with
in six months after divorce is grant
ed, Mr.. Wilson cannot legally marry
his wife until after the time passes.
Speaking of the law, Judge Ben
Sheeks said: This is the result of
an infleXible law that does not take
certain conditions into consideration,
but is made to adhere to one set plan" "

WOULD ORGANIZE
NAVAL MILITIA
State Authorities DESTROYS to
Form Division in Aber-
deem and Hoquiam.
MIGHT MEAN FIREBOAT
Captain Andrews Visits Har-
Dor in Effort to Start the
Organization.

Captain w. Frank Andrews, of Ia
coma, commander of the Washington
naval militia, was guest at the week
ly luncheon of the Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday coming in an effort
to organize a division of the militia
on Grays Harbor. Captain Andrews,
who is the father of the naval militia
of the state, believes in that branch
of the service, and believes it is a
good thing for young men to join
and stick to.
In brief speech he outlined the
duties and privileges of the naval
militia, saying that it's organization
here would bring a naval vessel to
Grays Harbor permanently, which
would serve as headquarters for the
division. The federal government fur
nishes the ship and arms, clothing
and equipment Of the men, while the
officers are allowed SIS year for
uniforms. Two hours a week is re-
quired and each year the division
makes a ten-day cruise, when the
men receive $1.50 a day. He told OF
the trip on the Puget Sound Division
last summer, when they went to San
Francisco and had a delightful trip
with two days shore leavev.
Good Material Here
Captain Andrews said that himself
and Adjutant General Llewellyn were
desirous of having a division or
Grays Harbor, as they believe the ma
terial was here with which to form 8
good one, and he asked the Chamber
to suggest the name of a commanding
officer, who was sufficiently popular
to rally the young men about him ant
hold them. knowledge of naval af
fairs did not matter, as this could be
readily acquired. The names of E
A. McKenna, j. E. Stewart and Frank
Burrows were suggested and it is very
probable one of them will accept the
post, and proceed to organize the di
vision.
Might Make Fireboat
1t has been suggested that the gov
ernment vessel stationed on Grays
Harbor might be furnished with 9
strong pump and hose by the cities
of the harbor and used as fireboat
something that is badly needed but
almost beyond the financial ability
of the cities to supply at this time
At any rate it is hoped the division
will be formed, as it is believed 1t
will be boon to the young men who
have inclinations toward the sea, and
who will receive a training, physical
and mental that will be of value in
later life.

WHITE SLAVERY

Police of Aberdeen and Ho-

Trail of Bunch.

HOQUIAM, Feb. 12.-Caught in the
drag net, which for the past week
has been successfully operating in
in both Hoquiam and Aberdeen,
Bruno Hellman, the big Finnish
wrestler, and Hulda Sandburg, a we'll
known character of the underworld
here, are in the city Jail as the re-
suit of a raid made early Tuesday
morning on an Eighth street rooming
house. At first protesting against
the action of the police in arresting
them, but later admitting they We're
not married, the two found little SYM
pathy in police court yesterday after
noon and each was fined $50 and costs.
The money has not been forthcoming
and they are confined in Jail.
Floyd Dukell of this city was plac-
ed under arrest in Aberdeen Monday
night charged with receiving money
from fallen woman. A telephone
call from Aberdeen early in the even
ing was to the effect that woman
from Hoquiam would board the 1
o'clock car and meet her friend" in
Aberdeen. Police Sergeant Thomas
occupied the same car with the woman
but did not meet Dukell for the rea-
son that he was arrested early in
the evening on a charge of fighting.
The woman was arrested and when
taken to the station gave her name
as Ray Clark. She has been an in
mate of a resort on Eleventh street
and stated that she gave most of her
earnings to Dukell. She told a pitiful
tale to the police and said she was
trying her best to support a small
child in Tacoma. Her story, or at
least a portion of it, is believed by
the officers. She was brought back
to Hoquiam yesterday and is cow
being held as witness against Dukell.

OFFICIALS MUST
CEASE LOBBYING
Governor Lister Gives Off
cials Notice to Quit ''Work-
ing" Legislators.

OLYMPIA, Feb. f3.-Gov. Ernest
Lister today aimed blow at lobby
ing by state officials or their depu-
ties when he sent to all heads of de-
partments who are in any way re-
sponsible to the executive chair the
following letter:
LAS governor Of the state of Wash.
ington, and being responsible for the
departments under my control, I beg
to say at this time that it is my de-
sire to have each and every institu.
ton and department in my charge
furnish to the legislature any and all
information that may be called for
by the legislature or by committees
whenever it becomes necessary in
furnishing this information to have
the head of an institution, his depu.
ties or his assistants, give the infor
nation caleld for, suggest that the
head of the institution, his deputies
or assistants, be present at the meet
ing of the legislature or it's commit
tees.
II desire at this time, however, to
say positively that the presence OF
any head, or deputy, or assistant OF
any department under my control, in
and around the legislative halls dur.
ing the session, unless they be there
on strictly state business in compli
ance with call for them made by
the legislature or it's committees
will not be tolerated. The presence
of any state official or employe in any
department in my charge for pur-
poses of lobbying for any measure
or measures, unless such presence is
at the request of the Legislature, will
be considered by this department as
sufficient cause for removal"
Copies of this were sent to every
department, and through its no un
certain wording the governor hopes
to stop the flood of official visitors
who have been sent about the legis
lative halls during the present ses
sion.

CHAMBER MAKES
TIMELY PROTEST
Chamber of Commerce OPP
poses Change in County
Board of Equalization.
AND WITH GOOD REASON
Proposal to Absolve Logged
off Lands from Taxation
For Ten Years.

The Aberdeen Chamber of Com
merce went on record at the weekly
meeting Tuesday as being opposed to
the amendment of Senator Nichols to
Senate Bill No. 191, which removes
the assessors from county boards of
equalization and places the auditor In
his stead, when it adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, introduced by j.
j. Carney:
Resolved that the Aberdeen Cham
ber of Commerce does protest against
the provision in Senate Bill No. 191,
which substitutes the county auditor
for the assessor on county boards of
equalization
Copies of the resolution were sent
to the members of the house from
Chehalis county and Governor Lister,
and their attention was directed 20
the fact that the law placing the az
SCISSOR and treasurer on those boards
was the result of high-handed pro-
ceeding of board of county commits
sioners, who at the time constituted
the equalization board, and which
arbitrarily altered the valuations
placed on the property Of large cor
poration in defiance of the assessor.
Logged-Off Land Suggestion
Captain R. H. Fleet, of Montesano,
who was present, brought up the mat
ter of having the tax laws so changed
that taxes on improvements on logged
off lands might be omitted for the
first ten years after the Improvements
are made. Captain Fleet said bin
was being drafted for the legislature.
but it was the opinion of attorneys
that constitutional amendment
would be necessary to make such Z
provision legal.
The fact seems to be that the con-.
stitution needs general revision
along taxation lines, such as have
been suggested by the state take conn.,
mission, so as to provide the state
revenues Independent of county or
city assessments, and permit each
locality home rule in taxation mat.

MEETING OF
SCHOOL BOARD
Board Of Education Confrop-
ted with Necessity for Ad-
ditional School Room.
MEETING OF

MEETING OF eg..yt
At the meeting of the Board Of
Education Tuesday evening, Superin-
tendent Arthur Wilson directed at
tention to the fact that the schools
Of he city were becoming overcrowd-
ed, and that some provision must be
made in the near future for additional
buildings. The Franklin school, and
the schools in East Aberdeen and
South Aberdeen are becoming crowd
ed and additional room must be had
ere long.
The abandonment of Terrace
Heights school and building on the
site purchased last year was discuss
ed, when difference of opinion de-
veloped. Some members opposed CIV
ing up the Terrace Heights building,
which will be needed in a few years
as the population or the hill in that
vicinity increases with the street i'm
provements now made and those pro-
jected.
1t is pointed out that this large
building is but about twenty years
old; that it is large, and should be
useful for many years to come. A
building has long been asked for in
North Aberdeen, which will probably
be built this year. Objection was
made to the site purchased, the old
Athletic park, as being too near the
river, and it may be exchanged for
location less expensive and better
adapted to school purposes.
The resignation of Miss Maud
Baily, teacher of music and art In
the High school, was accepted, and
the vacancy filled by the election of
Miss M. Cameron, Of Iowa. Miss
Catherine Hall also resigned, and her
place in the Franklin school remains
to be filled

PASS MOTHERS
PENSIONS BILL
House Also Votes to Establish
New Court of Domestic
Relations.
STATE FLAG APPROVED
After a Burst of Oratory,
and an Opportunity to
Exploit Patriotism.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 12.-Pensions for
destitute mothers and court OF
domestic relations, to have exclusive
jurisdiction in divorce and juvenile
cases, We're provided for in bills
passed in the house yesterday. AS
the latter is constitutional amend
ment, it must be submitted for popu-
lar Endorsement.
The mothers pension act came into
the house under the names of Thomas
j. COrkery of Spokane, and Dix H.
Rowland of Pierce. 1t passed by a
vote of 81 to 4, the negative being
Conner, Lum, Moren and G. H. New
man. The mothers pension bill pro-
vides that destitute mother with
one child shall draw SIS from the
county and S. additional for every
other child under 16.
Mr. Corkery and Frank P Goss, re-
publican of King, stood sponsors for
the domestic relations court bill and
the ballot on that was SS to 2, Foster
and Lum being in opposition.
Speaker Taylor passed the domestic
relations bill on the calendar until
certain that it would be assured the
advantage of full attendance on the
constitutional requirement of a two
thirds vote. He twice sent the SER
geant-at- arms to bring in absentees.
GOss said he was proud to be on the
bill with Cookery, and Sumner, re-
publican, didn't cause ripple of re-
sentiment when he declared that it
made no difference whether the bill
was called "bull moose" measure or
not.
Vote to Adopt State Flag
Hughes bill authorizing the adop-
tion of state flag aroused debate that
reached back into state rights. Cham
berlin and Foster opposed it bitterly
on the ground that it would tend to
discount the loyalty due the national
colors, an idea secuted by Merriam,

ALL THE TIMBER
MUST Be TAXED
State Tax Commission Saws
Chehalis County Custom
is Wrong.
MUST LIST ALL TIMBER
State Authority Says All
Timber and All Land Must
Be Assessed.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 12.-That the prac
tice of the assessors of not taxing
timber that runs 250,O00 feet or less
to the quarter section is not prop
er method, though failing to fix a
| maximum that should be tisregarded,
the state tax commission has writ
ten a letter to the assessor of Che
halls county saying that this custom
should be eliminated
The assessor said that in his coun-
ty, in many instances, timber had
been assessed but the land had not,
and that in other cases the land was
assessed and timber was not The
tax commission makes it clear that
both timber and land should be as
sessed; that all timber of value be
assessed the same as any other class
of property and that where the value
of the land is not included in the
assessment of the timber, it should
be fixed by the assessor
This ruling of the tax commission
is in reply to Assessor r. A. Wiley,
who, upon assuming office, found that
his predecessor had adopted a rule,
whereby each 40-acre tract when not
containing 25O,OOO feet of timber was
assessed as unimproved land, and the
timber was not assessed at all. When
the timber exceeded this amount, the
timber was placed on the rolls, but
the land was exempt.
Mr. Wiley could find no law for
this rule, which arbitrarily permitted
property to escape taxation, and he
consulted his legal advisors, with the
above result. In this practice Cheha-
lis county seems to have stood alone
it not being followed in Thurston,
Mason, Pacific or Lewis counties. and
the decision of the tax commission
will add quite sum to the total of
the tax roll.
In considering this matter, it was
noted that the law requires the as
sessments throughout the state to be
uniform, and to carry out the Cheha-
lis county procedure would result
in eliminating practically all of the
standing timber in Eastern Washing
ton from the tax rolls.
