TO OUR DEAR, DEAR FRIENDS.

Some time ago, in an unguarded mo-
ment, we allowed a rather extensive
account of a wedding to appear in the
Advocate. Since that time they have
been coming by the wholesale. Now
it is plain to any one'who will think
that we cannot keep this up. 1t
would soon be necessary to get out a
special in order to accommodate
these of our friends who have march
ed to the strains of Mendelsohn's,
clad in a beautiful going away suit,
ETC."
Hereafter, for obvious reasons, we
can only publish the fact of the mar
rage, with names, date, place and the
name of the officiating clergyman,
There are so many, and who ever
heard Of a groom who was not the
most prosperous business man of his
community, or of a bride that vas not
the charm of the whole neighborhood.

roll today, who represents Saw
yer. The attorney said that he
did not know Sawyer's business
or address.
The Sawyers were married in
Waterloo, Iowa, on September q,
1910. Shortly afterwards they
moved to Tacoma. Aside from
his startling complaint against his
wife, Sawyer says that Mrs. Saw
yer was cruel and inhuman"
with him, that she failed to pre-
pare his meals" made life bur-
densome for him, and often alb
sented herself from home for long
periods of time. He says that
she is a strong woman, In good
health, and that there Is no ply
steal reason for her refusal to
become a mother.
In May, 1912, Sawyer became
so Respondent over his home af-
fairs that he turned over to his
wife all their household property,
amounting to $3.50 In value, and
gave her $500 in cash. Then he
left her, he says, and has not seen
her since.

FILE INSANITY
CHARGE AGAINST
VIM. HOLLOCK

Rebuffed in the superior court
last week when Judge Clifford
removed him as guardian of the
estate of William Hollock, an
aged man found starving in a
hOvel at 9th and G streets, Brit
fish Vice Consul @. Il. Lucien
Agassiz yesterday afternoon made
a second effort by filing a petit
ton, asserting that HollOck is in
sane. Agassiz asks In the petition
that he be appointed guardian,
and that Hollock be adjudged q
lunatic and sent to the Stella
COON asylum. The lunacy hear
ing will come up in Judge Cliff
ford's court Saturday, February 2.
Mrs. Dora Hamilton, president
of the Sunshine society, at whose
home the aged reclue Is now re-
covering from his self-imposed
fast, was served with summons
in the case today.
81 am surprised that such tao
tics should be employed" was
Mrs. Hamilton's statement at
the courthouse today. "Mr.
Agassiz has even intimated that
i have taken an interest in the
case because 1t was learned that
Mr.. Hollock is well-to-do. Every
one interested knows that took
charge of the old man when he
was starving, and that l knew

TRIES TO HOLD UP
A TACOMA BANK

Jabbing a stocking through tn
Gagged window of Paying Teller
Geiger of the Scandinavian Amer
can bank at 12:45 today, ID. w.
DrOpp, age 81, an unemployed
workingman, slipped "a note
through the cage:
"Fill this bag with money or
I'll kill YOU" the note read.
Drop stood perfectly still,
holding his right hand rigidly in
his coat pocket, as though he
were carrying gun. Instead of
filling the stocking with money,
the paying teller whispered an Or
der to a messenger, and in two
minutes Patrolman William
Blackwell slipped into the bank,
pinioned Drop from behind and
threw him to the floor A hur-
ried search showed that instead
of having a revolver in his coat
pocket, he carried a clothes pin.
The prisoner, shaekled and
painting from the violent strug-
gle that he made to free himself,
was hurried to the city Jail. He
declared loudly that he was an

help him. l have never spoken
to the old man about his money,
and do not know that he has
any"
Mrs. Hamilton was indignant
over the lunacy petition. She
asserted that Hollock was per-
fectly sane.
1.-THE old man was weak from
hunger, but not demented," she
said. "He is as rational as /
am. He is steadily improving
each day and is getting strong
and healthy again. He told me
today that he was going to buy
some new clothes and make him
self look presentable.
''Mr. Agassiz took no interest
I'm the case until he learned that
HOllock had money. The old man
is not a British subject, and has
never appealed to Agassiz in any
way. There is no reason why a
consul should take action in this
case. Mr.. Hollock Is able to take
care of his own affairs, and l am
merely trying to take a charitable
view in the case"
Deputy Prosecutor Fitch said
today that he would undoubtedly
take action in the lunacy pro-
ceedings. There Is no reason
for such a proceeding" said
Fitch, "and l shall resist the
sending of the old man to Stella

WIFE REFUSES TO BEAR
CHILDREN; HUSBAND
T1ooa1. oIo1o|CCCVC nTVT0DNC
SEEKS DIVORCE

Is the refusal of a wife to be-
come mother sufficient grounds
for the husband to obtain a d.
vorce?
This question must be decided
by one of the superior court
judges when the suit of William
T.. Sawyer of Tacoma versus Mrs.
Elsie Nj. Sawyer, filed I'm court to-
day, comes up for hearing next
month.
Sawyer's principal complaint. Is
that his wife absolutely refused
to become the parent of child,
and that she made married life
unbearable for him because of
this. They lived i'm the same
house as mir. and Mrs. Sawyer"
he says, for 10 months, when mar
ried life became SO unpleasant
that he turned over all their
property to her and departed.
This is the first time that the
refusal of wife to bear a child
has been made the principal basis
of divorce suit in Pierce county.

TACOMA GIRLS
MUST PAY To
DANCE NOW
Just think of it, girls!

Just think OF 1t, girls!
The mean old city council this
morning went and passed a dance
ordinance that will compel every
damsel who wants to trip the
light fantastic and regale herself
at a public dance in the poetry of
motion to pay an admission fee
Just like mere man.
OF course the council did 1t
with some hesitation, and cut the
price SO dance managers may let
girls in for half price If they want
to, but maidens must have the
coin.
And once in, they must stay,
and so must the men. There will
be no running out between
acts"
The old practice of a nominal
admission to the hall and SO
much a dance is abolished now.
Dancing will be free after you get
in. You pay your way in, both
girls and men, dance until you
get through and then go home.
That is the program under the
new ordinance.
And matron must be provid-
ed, also, by all dance managers
for every public dance, to see
that all goes well.
