Love Trust Rogers
MANAGED Three Homes
All at the Same Time

BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Lorlys
Elton Rogers, a good-loolSing man
in the fatal forties who i'm a lively
lifetime has been sometimes an
actor, sometimes a lawyer, but al
ways a romantic lover, has bro
ken the hearts of three women
and one of them has tried to die
for him.
The last woman known as Ida
Sniffen Rogers poisoned herself
and two babies she had borne him
and in her dying statement de-
clared that her action was the re-
suit of the refusal OF Rogers Sec
ond wife, the sister of Prof.
Franklin Giddings of Columbia
university to keep an agreement
to divorce him.
Denies Promise.
Prof. Giddings has denied that
his sister ever promised to grant
Rogers his freedom so that he
might give his name to his two
little children by another woman
and friends of the proud New
England woman who is Rogers
wife say that she will never sur
render him. Mrs. Rogers, con-
fined to her bed by the shock OF
the great tragedy which centers
about her husband, declared that
no matter what is revealed about
the man she still loves, he lis es-
sentially a good man."

will have precedence over all
other matters excepting appro-
priations. The legislature is re-
quired by the constitution to take
some sort Of action on this meas
ure. II may be reject it and re-
fer II to the peoples vote.
Home Rule Bill
II may accept II together with
an alternative bill and refer both
to a vote of the people. The al
tentative measure has already
been prepared. II is known as
the Home Rule bill, which diff
fers from Initiative bill No. IS
in many respects.
The Home Rule bill allows sa-
looms to operate from z a. m. to
. D. m, while the Initiative bill
does not. On the other hand,
the Home Rule bill does not per-
NIT the sale OF liquor In terri
tory voted dry in local option
elections, while the Initiative bill
does.
WET" Legislature
AS the legislature is believed
to be at least 10 per cent wet"
1t is practically certain special
election on the liquor question
will be called In 1916, SO that a
decision may be reached before
the present prohibition law goes
into effect on January !, 1916.
In the liquor fight, the ''drys''
will probably chiefly play the role
of spectators Mt first, though the
rivalry between the two liquor
measures may grow SO keen that
the dry" vote may eventually
hold the balance of power.
As soon as the liquor battle Is
over the attack on freak legis-
lation' as the republican leaders
consider the same, will comHsence.

ANDERSON
S(JCC()M|bS
To INJURY

SEATTLE, Jan. 0.-M Ander-
son OF Everett, who boxed under
the name of Jack Newton, died
In a local hospital today after
having been sent to the floor with
a left hook In the third of a sched-
uled four-round bout with Ike
Cohen Of San Francisco last night
before the Pacific Athletic club.
Both men were heavyweights.
This is the first boxing fatal
ity in Seattle. Cohen knocked
Anderson to the floor and then
struck him again as he was ris-
ing. Cohen was declared winner
of the bont. Anderson, partially
unconscious, went to his dressing
room, and while unlacing his
shoes topplied from his chair. He
was taken to % hospital. where II
was found that he had suffered q
concussion OF the brain. All In
connection with the bout were ar
rested and later released on bail.
Charges will probably be pre-.
ferred against Cohen.
Sporting men declared today
that the death OF Anderson would
kill all hopes of passing a boxing
commission law for Washington.
The bill had been prepared fnr
the last legislature, but was held
In committee. II was to have
been revived next week, and de-
voices OF boxing declare that IL
would have passed the legisla-
ture, had IL not been for the Sc
attic accident. The proposed bill
would have Iegaltxed 10-round
boxing matches, and appointed a
committee to supervise the game.

IN the kiosk Of the capitol grounds,

the outstanding feature OF the first

the celerity with which the solons set

without loss Of time the members
plunged abruptly into their work and
by 1850 o'clock had perfected their
