.TRUNPED UP, AYERS
THOMAS OF CHARGES
Congressman Sees Plot of His
Political Enemies in His
Wife'S Divorce Suit.

Congressman r. Y. Thomas of Ken
lucky. who yesterday. at Greenville,
Ky. was named as defendant by his
wife Mrs. Annie L. Thomas, in a suit
for divorce. on the ground of alleged
drunkenness, cruelty, and nonsupport,
today makes a general and specific de-
nial Of each of the charges.
He gays they are merely trumped up
by his wife and his political enemies.
Three weeks ago my wife left here
and was under the impression that she
was going to Texas to visit a sister. She
kissed me good-by, and l presumed that
we were on good terms.
During the last nine years I have
given her at least 81, 900. and there is no
truth in the charge that l failed to sup
port her. Just before she left Washing
ton she asked me for 81 500 l did not
give 1t to her, because l could not afford
to do so. This suit Is merely an attempt
to eNtort money from me. added to the
desire of my political enemies to put me
out of public life. Neither scheme will
succeed.
I'll fight the suit all the way to the
Supreme Court of the United States. II
for no other reason, the suit is bound to
York and 1t is necessary to prove 4
statutory oftense before q divorce is
granted in that State.
Il had not made up my mind to run
for re election until this matter came
up. but now 1 propose to do so just to
prove that the people of my district have
faith in me"

WORK OF RAZ|NG
BUILDINGS BEGUN
Plans Cali for Structure to
Cover Most of the Tract on
Thirteenth, F and G.

Work of razing the buildings on that
much discussed tract on the west side
of Thirteenth street, between F and G
streets northwest, started today. The
plans for the excavation, and for the
building to be erected, If no tenants ap-
pear to change them, call for a struc-
ture to cover the entire property, save
100 feet on the Thirteenth street side,
and ninety-five feet on the southeast
corner of G street. and Thirteenth and
G street to the fruit store.
Despite the many rumors current in
real estate circles regarding this tract
during the past year, to the effect that
the place was to be the site of a big de-
partment store, a theater. and divers
other establishments, as much mystery
surrounds what ultimately will cover
the ground as ever. 1t is owned by a
syndicate" F. II. Smith & Co, the
realty brokers in the purchase and up
building of the property, say, but they
will tell nothing more.
A story is current in Washington real
estate circles that the American Theater
Company is owner of the property. The
title of the tract is in the name of that
concern, but this leaves the property
just as much a mystery as II there were
no title at all.

frosts come.
It's a strange reception the old fellow
gets-sort OF a unanimous. long-continued
a-choo. Not only does 1t echo through
Washington, but throughout the entire
land. Some of the summer resorts will
insistently claim that they are high and
dry and free of Hay Fever, but he sticks
closer than a bad habit, but not as
pleasantly.

lakeside often furnish relief, but Hay

Mr.. Kalbfus' position is Indicated
through the following statement of his
attorney, Frank II. Hogan:
In my opinion, the Commissioners
Of the District, in issuing the order by
which they attempted to remove Samuel
7. kalbfus, not only violated the plain
provision of the law, but showed de-
tiance Of the law. The fact that the
order was issued after regular Office
hours, and that the Commissioners
swore in the alleged successor Of Mr..
Kaibfus at 10 o'clock last night eyi-
dence considerable fear to meet the
plata issues during the hours which the
courts are in session.
Decision to remove Mr. Kalbfus was
reached by the Commissioners after a
hoard session yesterday evening which
lasted until $50 o'clock. Mr.. Kalbfus
was located by an officer at his sum-
mer home, near Rockville, Md. AS soon
as the Commissioners were officially in
formed that Mr.. Kalbfus was in pos

KILL 'EM" HE SAYS.

Editor Ketchikan Miner:-Mon- days Miner contained an article championing the gulls. I would ask the writer if he understands the habits of gulls and of what value they or ravens are to humanity and what detriment. Gulls during the spring and summer live almost en- tirely on the herring and one gull will consume as many herring dur ing his life as an ordinary man and during the fall and winter they are on the salmon breeding grounds de- vouring the unmatched eggs by the millions.
 Food for the id'.ap race is ne' coming scarce and costlier every year and for self-preservation we should adopt every means available to pre- serve our fish and game and for one had rather see dead gulls than hungry people. |

Line after line of hose was brought into action, but the building with it's highly inflammable contnets only seemed to burn the fiercer. While endavoring to carry a line of hose through an alley, the walls of the. burning building collapsed, bury ing the unfortunate firemen under tons of wreckage. The attention ot the entire department was at once turned to the rescue of the men, and it was only through the most heroic work that any of the men caught in the alley were taken out alive.

 Most any frosty morning during the past three weeks you might have spotted Ritchie hitting it up along the roads through Central Park, putting himself in condition for the Cross bout.

 If he will just fight and not bac away and cover up I am sure to knock him out, said Ritchie. Leach is strong for the covering up game, but if he stands out and fights I'll get him"
