WINS DIVORCE,
BUT NEbCHDORS
LOSE SCANDAL
Expected Sensations Don't
MateriaIize for Large
Crowd in Court.

A neignborhood that flocked into
the court Of Superior Judge Joseph
K. Williams to watch the clothespins
Of evidence hang UP matrimony's
dirty wash were disappointed to-
day.
They came to hear Richard N.
Allen Of the Linden hotel obtain a
divorce from Mrs. Mae Allen, 1892
North Illinois street.
Allen got the divorce. Mrs. Al
len was given custody of their H.
year-old son, Richard Jr., and ali
mony OF SIS a week, but the neigh
borhood received not one morsel Of
evidence bordering on sensation.
Sensation Was Forecast
The sensation was forecast in
hat Allen charged in his divorce
complaint that his wife had asso-
ciated with William F. Swope, a
married man.
Mrs. Florence. Swope, 1928 Rock
wood, testified for Allen. She
merely related in few words that
Mrs. Allen was the correspondent
named by her 0Mrs. Swope) in a
divorce suit now pending against
Swope IN the circuit court at
Greenfield, Ind.
She testified the two families
we're friendly and had gone on out
ings together.
Judge Williams in granting Al
len the decree after Mrs. Allen
had dismissed a cross-complaint
for divorce said, This is a case
where there's too much intimacy
between families. Both husband
and wife have lost confidence in
each other and it's no use their
remaining man and wife. 1t
wouldn't be so bad if there were
no child"
Asks $4,000 Damage
A suit charging alienation of af-
fections and asking $4,000 dam
ages is pending in superior court
five against Swope. The suit was
filed by Allen.
He alleged embarrassment in his
neighborhood through Swopes al
lege3 friendship for his wife as
causes of action in both the alien
alton suit and the divorce action
today.
The divorce complaint charged
Mrs. Allen had written endearing
letters to Swope, but was amended
by his attorney and tried on the
charge made by Mrs. Swope.
Expectation on the part of the
neighborhood visitors to the court
that the alleged endearing letters
might be brought in as evidence
crowded the rear Of the room, but
left their appetites unsatisfied when
the contested marital action came
to a quick finale.

z ROOMS, BATH
GIVEN HOOVER
ON BATTLESHIP
Suite viii Be Presidents
Quarters on Trip
Through South.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 1.-TWO
rooms and bath with a brass bed
instead Of the traditional sailors
hammock are being prepared for
President Hoover aboard the bat
tleship Arizona, on which he viii
visit Porto Rico and the Virgin is
lands.
Mr.. Hoover and his party expect
to leave Washington by train late
Wednesday night and sail from
Norfolk early Thursday.
Galley space has been reserved
for a White House chef if Mr..
Hoover cares to bring one.
And a forehanded navy has al
lotted storage space for any special
delicacies the President might send
aboard to vary the regular navy
fare.
Are no Windows
The two rooms and bath to be
used by Mr.. Hoover are known as
the adnirals suite. Even cruisers
nowadays contain such comfort
able if not luxurious quarters for
high ranking officers.
The most nautical feature of the
admiraPS suite aboard the Arizona
is the absence of windows. Even
admirals or Presidents must be con-
tent with portfolios if they will
travel on a naval vessel.
Coming as she does from twenty
one months of modernization, the
Arizona is model from plumbing
to blisters, the latter being bulges
along the water line designed to
Illustrate torpedoes directed at the
vitals Of the ship.
There is a shower with plenty of
good hot water in the admiral's
bath, which for a time is to be
used by a president.
Silver Service Provided
Furniture in the suite is mahog-
any. The combined mess and
lounging room is comfortable
haven of easy chairs, and if Mr..
Hoover cares to entertain he may
do so with a handsome silver
service.
Modern plumbing does not make
a warship. The service record of
the Arizona does not show she ever
fired hostile shot but the big
craft is better prepared to do SO
now than when she was launched
at the New York navy yard in 1916.
In the process of modernization,
the Arizona has substituted two
tripod masts for the cage masts
with which she was first equipped.
Her 14-inch guns have been ele-
waited to increase their range and
the secondary battery of five-inch
pieces will tilt a bit higher and
shoot a bit farther now than they
would before. The modernized YES
sci has added f1ve-inch anti-air-
craft guns to her armament, and
the blisters are new.
Captain Was Official Astronomer
Captain Charles S. Freeman, who
commanded transports -N1anchuria,
Orizaba and Maui-during the war,
is the Arizona's skipper, having
been transferred from command
of the naval observatory here last
year. AS commander of the observ-
atory, he was the official govern
ment astronomer and was respon-
sible for keeping the country adj
vised Of the correct time.
The Arizona's war service in 1917
Is was along the east coast of the
United States. In November, 1918,
the ship was ordered to join the
American battleships operating with
the British grand fleet. Her guns,
among many, saluted President
Wilson aboard the George Wash
ington after the war.
Serving in the eastern Medi-
terranean during the Graeco- Turk
ish war, the Arizona landed her
marine guard at Smyrna.

Divisional Notes
YAKUTAT

A snappy basketball game was played on May l between the
 Libby Spiders and the St. Elias
 Glacier Bugs Libby cannery
 employees and residents of the
 Gulf City. The Spiders took the tip-off and made the first two goals of the evening. On the
 chird tip-off, center Harry Jack son of the Glacier Bugs, tipped
 one into the hands of Captain
 Richard Reese who shot first goal for the Bugs. Then the Bugs, with the taste of a score got into swing. Reese had an eagle eye, steady nerve and the winning inspiration from the start; Jackson and Oscar Smith followed right behind their leader in individual and team work. For 9 change, Guards George Bremner and Peter liar ry dropped a few score into the Spiders web while they kept the Spiders from making any scores. Tn the second half, James Bar tels, who had gone to Juneau, got into the game at guard re- lieving Peter Harry but he seem. ed to have lost his stride and like the last legislature just seemed unable to get into his stride and a score was around his side. Those high school Spiders found it hard to keep with the ignorant" Alaskan boys but they put up a fight and showed themselves good, fast players and good clean sports. The Spiders were devoured by he Glacier Bugs to the tune of A to Is.
 The Libby and New England cannery crews arrived recently. Both outfits are rusing prepara- .ions for the coming season and many local people are being en- ployed by the Libby people on the Yakutat and Southern Tran continental Railway, between Yakutat and Dry Bay.
 Johnnie Bremner, one of the star Bug on the Elias Glacier team, got his leg caught on the shaft of the gasboat "Once More" powered with a 20 horse
 Gray. A big gash was made on the shin and the shin bone was fractured. Hewill be up and hobbling about in a couple of weeks. This was 9 bad blow for the A. N. B. "F'riars" and the whole of Yakutat.
 The Diesel engine for the new City Power, arrived on the OtSe- SO and will be installed as soon as it is possible to do so.
 Sam George was suddenly taken ill and went by plane to Juneau for medical attention. Sam was A. N. B. president last year and all of the folks are hoping for his speedy return in the best of health.
 The second series of games between the Elias Glacier Bugs and the A. N. B. Friars was won by the Friars by a score of 40 to 45 The Bugs held the lead all the way until Bremner, Jack son and Reese were disqualified. Then, the leg power and wings of the Bugs have been amputat- cd the Friars took the lead. Tough luck, tough luck," saith the Raven.
 The A. N. B. baseball team lost the first game of the season to the Libby Can Openers. The A. N. B. team, in the main made I'D of second string played hard and we'll but not good enough. Their pitcher, of little experi- o-,oo y,itohad 'nn hiOh low close
