Anderson Divorce Case
Ends in Mutual Separation

The one little word "veracity" en-
ded the marital relationship of Mr.
and Mrs Clarence r. Anderson whose
divorce case was heard Monday in
Judge Calvin Halls court. Hearing
of the case began Friday afternoon
and ended Monday afternoon when
Judge Hall granted both parties a
divorce. The court room was crowd
ed throughout the trial as both part
les are prominent in Seattle circles.
Mrs. Anderson had long been recog-
nized as leader in Seattle social and
church circles. Mr.. Anderson is wide
ly known as one of Seattle's colored
attorneys. 81
Evidence introduced showed the
Anderson's married life fairly equit-
ible until so called Swimming
party" took place last August at
Madrona Beach, in which a woman
was present with whom rumor had
connected Mr.. Anderson. Testimony
was introduced that Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson had frequent quarrels
about "this woman," following the
swimming party. L
The case proved to have a maze of
mistaken identity and unfounded
rumors and attacks of veracity of
witnesses. Much of the interest in
the case centered on evidence to
prove the financial worth of Mr..
Anderson. His property holdings
were proven to be heavily mortgaged
In rendering his decision Judge Hall
expressed his sorrow that such an
estimable couple with bright pros
poets should have to seek the divorce
court. He said no substantial evil
dence of any nature has been heard
that attacks the character of these
two people. Both az shown to be
dstimable people respected in the
community. However, it is clearly
to be seen they are incompatible and
cannot continue as husband and
wife.

25 YEARS OF BAN JOHNSON
BY John B. Foster.
the American League Slipped Into Chicago

While the association remained as a
threat. Comiskey and johnson used It
to admirable misunderstanding the
political perspicacity OF both OF them.
Comiskey had left st. Paul and invaded
Chicago with his team on the strength
OF permission said to have been given
by James A. Hart Of the Chicago Ma
tionals. Hart declared that he never
had given such permission. Comiskey
went right ahead and moved down from
st. Paul with a chip on his shoulder
the same size as the chip that Hart car
ried on his shoulder.
Comiskey was beginning to have vi
sions OF a rival TO the National League
When the American Association was
threatening TO stir things up In the
East Comiskey said to the National
League bosses, In substance: Let us
start this American League of ours and
we'll put the American Association be-
meath the daisies before Spring comes
around"
Tom LOTUS was the diplomatic angel
who escorted Hart and Comiskey within
the same sheltering walls. And when
Tom LOTUS had finished his work with
the diplomatic salve, Hart had vel
coined "Commy" to Chicago with open
arms and the American League had a
grip on its Western end which shut
down as firmly as Comiskeys jaws when
he started something. The American
League thus got into Chicago-which il
very much needed TO be inland there
