den Showalter.
The wedding OF the Western cow
boy and the heiress to the millions
of we'll known Pittsburgh, Pc.
family, caused shocks in the social
circles of the eastern city and sur
prise among the Arizona ranges.
The couple was married in Tucson
March Is after a mutual attraction
that grew from acquaintance form
ed at the Ell Conquistador riding
academy where Showalter was a
master.
The bill of complaint filed by
William R. Misbaugh Of the firm OF
Misbaugh and Owen, Tucson at
torneys, on behalf of the husband
alleges that three days after the
wedding Mrs. Showalter declared
she did not love her newly acquired
mate; that she was sorry she had
married him and that his social
standing was a hindrance to her.
She also added, according to the
bill. that she was in love with an
other man.
The reply filed by Mrs. Showalter,
through her attorneys, Knapp, Boyle
and Thompson of Tucson, denied
the allegations but made no fight
of the matter, asking only the re-
turn Of her maiden name Judge
Pickett in the hearing Monday,
granted her request There was no
property settlement and no alimony.
Showalter, who is we'll known in
the Sonoita district of Santa Cruz
county as an expert horseman, met
Miss Crittenden while she, with her
family, was a guest at the Ell Con-
quistador, near Tucson, last winter.

GERMANS RUSH
HUGE DIRIGIBLE
TO COMPLETION
Worlds Largest Airship
Will Be Ready Early
In 1888

BERLIN, April 10 (U.P0 = With
the Graf Zeppelin" now running
regularly between Germany and
Brazil, Germanys newest, giant
dirigible, the Lz-129, to be the
worlds largest airship is being
hammered and riveted into shape
at Friedrichshafen. If building con-
tinues at the precent rate, the dir
igible will be completed early next
year.
In order to accommodate the
skeleton of the Lz-129, two old
hangers were dislnantled and JON
ed into one.
Figures reval the supremacy OF
the coming Lz-129 over it's leading
rivals, as follows:
Germany's Graf Length 236,
diameter 30.5, gas content 10000.
u. S. Nays Akron = Length 238.75,
diameter 40, gas content $4,000.
Germany's LZ-129 = Length 247.89,
diameter 41.2O, gas content 100000.
Following the United States lead
and with a view of reducing the
fire danger, the LZ-129 will use
helium gas, supply of which has
been assured from the United States.
Fireproof gas-cells will be built
within the helium cells and will
contain hydrogen, which can be
emitted in order to allow the air
ship to reach desired heights. The
increased capacity of the New Ger
man dirigible will be attained by
charging the airships diameter, as
compared with the Graf" and sim
liar craft.
Efforts viii be made to provide
unusual comfort for 81 passengers
in cabins, distributed in double
decks. Each cabin will contain two
berthe. The craft will include q
dining room 6x14 meters.
The usual "gondolas" off to the
side. will be equipped with land
ing bumpers to avoid too heavy a
Jolt when the a1rshlp comes tc
earth. Electric machines, manipu-
lated by buttons, VIII control the
rudders. The framework itself Will
comprise 16 main rings, around
which the canvas and cotton COW
ering will be fastened.

THE need OF MORE
POLICE PROTECTION
Made Plain at Meeting in
the City Hall Last
Night
PETITIONERS HEARD

The need of better police protec-
/ ton in the Overlook Cottage Park
section of the city was very forci-
bly, emphasized last evening at a
special meeting of the committee
on men and discipline of the board
of police commissioners. Immedi-
cite action was assured the petition
ers. In the Encouragement of as
signments for the motor patrol II is
also expected that other sections of
the city will be considered for al
though no complaints have been
filed with the board conditions ex-
list similar to those which caused
last evenings meeting.
Instances of women and young
girls being molested on the streets,
of gangs of rowdies roaming about
maliciously damaging private prop
erty and causing all sorts of annoy
ance were cited last evening.
No criticism was made of the
police department for the commits
sioners were informed that the
petitioners realized that the force
was handicapped by the lack of
funds. They did not expect to have
a signal box installed for that
would involve expense, but they did
hope that the board would see to
1t that more than an occasional
visit would be paid to that section.
The night force of motor patrol
cops may be increased or one or
two of the ten supernumerarfes
alternating three weeks on and two
weeks off may be given steadier
employment.

Several hundred were the vic

other hundreds were the subjects
of physical cruelty and nearly q
hundred had been deserted.
Medical or hospital care, homes
with friends or relatives and tenn

hundreds of these little folks and
the home conditions were improv-
ed In several hundred families.
More than two hundred were COM
mitted to state institutions and
nearly three hundred persons were
prosecuted for crimes committed
against children. Two hundred and

We received 3,S17 complaints Of
cruelty and neglect during the
year. Every one was carefully In

causes removed where possible.
Over three thousand animals
