MRS. LEf SWEARS
HUSOANDJEAT HER
Double Divorce Suit of Promi
nent St. Louis People At
tracting Attention.
LBMP'S SIDE APPEARS
ON CROSS-EXAMINATION
Wife Admits She Wrote Letter
. That DiH Not Express
Devotion.
ST. LOUIS, "eb. " Tho divorce
suits which Lillian Handlan Lcmp and
her husbaiul, "William K. Lomp, .'Jr.,
son of tho millionaire grower, filed
against each othor, camo to t vial iu
the St. Louis circuit court today beforo
Judgo Hitchcock. ' Tho case has at
tracted wido attention, and when tho
proceedings began a largo audience of
fashionably attired men and women
was present.
Tho suit for divorce, for alimony and
for custody of J. G. Lomp Ut was
filed by Mrs. Lcmp, but immediately
thereafter Mr. Lemp filed a cross bill,
also asking for divorce and tho cus
tody of tho child.
Mrs. Lemp nsks no stipulated sum
in alimony, Sho says her husband is
worth $1,500,000 and lias an income of
$50,000 a vcar, and sho asks enough
to support herself and. licr child com-fortablv.
i Alleged Acts of Cruelty.
Mrs. Lemp was tho first witness. She
told how Lemp beat her in the bath
room of thoir homo until sho had to
barricade herself in her room. She de
clared ho derided her when she told
their son thero was a God.
Mrs. Lemp also told how her husband
had often threatened her with a re
volver; how ho had a dotcctivc trail
her; how ho had locked her out of her
home, and how once he had moved out
to furnituro whilo she was absent.
On cross-examination Mrs. Lcmp said
that her husband had taught her to
smoke cigarettes after their marriage.
Tlio religious education of the bo'
was ono of tho main causes of differ
ence., according to Mrs. Lemp's testi
mony. She asserted that sho had had
the boy baptized in-tho "Roman Catholic
phurcli, despite his father's wishes to
tho contrary, but added that she had
told Mr Lemp of her intontion to have
this ceremony performed.
Quarrel Over Religion.
It was brought out that two ante
nuptial agreements, had been entered
into. Ono bound Mrs. Lcmp not to
interfere in tho religious training of
an3 child until ho was 7 years old, and
the othor, signed in the presence of an
archbishop, bound Mr. Lemp not to ob
icct to tho Catholic baptism of a child.
Both documents bear the same date,
and it is tho contentions of Mr. Lemp's
attorneys that Mrs. Letnp's agreement
was subsequent to the. other, and super
seded it.
A lotter was introduced in evidence
which was found by Mr. Lemp among
his wifo's private papers. It was ad
dressed to "My Dour Little Pal," and
contained this sontonco:
"Ilo is going hunting next week,
nnd I wish to hoaveu ho never would
return.' '
Mrs, Lomp acknowledged that nho
had written tho letter, but explained
that sho had done so in an effort to
find out who had been tampering with
hor private papors. Sho said that tho
lotter was a decoy, and had been so
placod that her husband wjould sco it
if ho searched her desk. Sho acknowl
edged that tho "ho" referred to in the
letter was her husband.

Was Too Absurd.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. S. Mrs. A. W.

was mentioned in the Washington story
which was widely circulated to tho
offect that Prosidcnt Roosevelt had
struck tho young lady's horse while
riding past her in the road, has re

president nn the subject:
My Dear Mrs. Rhodes: r thank you for
"your leltor or the L'Jtth ultimo, and urn
glad to hear from you that your daugh
ter denied the story that 1 struck her
horse. Of course, I never struck her
horse or any other lady's horse. Tbo
whole story wus so absurd as not to bo
worth denial. Numerous stories of this
kind arc started from times to llnio by
foolish or malicious people, Occasion
ally I au obliged to deny them, but as
a Viilo I find It best simply lo Ignore
them, because denying thom calls atten
tion to thorn and gives n cbanco to mls-ehlef-mukors
to mislead well inclining

RAGE- SITUATION II
P1TTSBUHB SERIOUS
Judge Who Has Sentenced
Negro Assailants of Women
Is Threatened.
PITTSBURG. Fob. 8. Many persons
gathered in the vicinity of tho oast end
police station this morning, believing
that, .lames Dickson, a negro arrested
Saturday night for insulting a white
woman and who narrowly escaped being
lynched by an infuriated crowd, would
be given a hearing. Owing to tho ina
bility of tho young woman to appear
against the negro until tomorrow tho
case- was postponed.
When an attempt was mado Saturday
night by a plain clothes officer to ar
rest. Dickson, the negro knocked tho
officer down and fought so desperately
that the policeman's clothes wore al
most torn oil". The fight attracted a
largo crowd which becamo threaten
ing when it was learned that Dickson
had itisultcd a whilo woman. Throw
ing the negro to tlio ground the officer
drew his revolver and held tho crowd
off until a, squad of police camo to the
rescue.
Magistrate Brady, who has sentenced
a number of negroes to long terms in
the workhouse during tho past week,
today received an anonymous letter ad
vising him to be more leniont in deal
ing with negroes or ho would meet with
violence.
Notwithstanding tho stringent meas
ures taken by the authorities, a ma
jority of tho negro population is de
fiant and there is apparentb no abate

CHARGED WITH STEALING
FROM THE INDIANS
Gl'TIITE, Okla., Feb. 8. Samuel Mc
Gowan of Degraff, Kan., ono of tho
best known Indian authorities in the
country, was arrested 'hero today on a
federal grand jury indictment, charg
ing him with cmbozzlemont and misap
propriation of federal funds while su
perintendent of tho Indian school at
Chiloeco. Okln., from 1901 to 1908. lie
was released on bond.
Tho indictmonts, which woro re
turned Friday last, consist, of nine
counts alleging emblezxlement and five
for making alleged false vouchers. The
charges allege that McGowan con
verted money belonging to tho Indians
to his own uso and also took grain and
livestock, nnd that ho mado false
vouchers, thereby securing money from
tlio United States subtroasiiry "at St.
Louis. There. is an alleged shortage of
i?lf00, nnd tho indictmetns intimate
that an additional sum was wrongfully
secured. ,
Agents of the. federal government
have been working on the McGowan
accounts for almost a year, and the in
dictments were based on their report.
McGowan was superintendent of the
fovornmcnt's Indian exhibit at tlio
jouisiana Purchase exposition at St.
Louis, and at the timo of his arrest
was preparing to go to Seattle to take
charge of a similar exhibit during the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition.

POINTS OUT VALUE IN
PRESERVATION OF LIFE
Compliments American Inven
tors Upon Great Progress in
Practical Workings.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S. To prevent
the loss of life by catastrophes at sea,
such as so nearly happened when tho
liner Republic went down recently, tho
president today sent to congress a mes
sage, urging the passage of a bill simi
lnr to that, introduced by "Representa
tive Burke of Pennsylvania, requiring
the equipment of ocean-going vessels
with a wireless telegraph apparatus.
Before sending tho mcssago, tho
president conferred with Mr. Burke on
the subject. The president had been
advised hy the commissioner of navi
gation that, in hiu opinion, such legis
lation was most urgently demanded,
and he argued in strong language tho
passage of this or a similar bill. The
message follows:
Text of Message. ,
To tho Senate and House of Representa
tives: Your attention 13 Invited to re
cent events which havo conclusively
demonstrated the. great value of radio
telegraphy, popularly known as 'vIrolcso
telegraphy," as an Instrumentality for the
preservation of life at sea.
While the honor of the first practical
application of the scientific principles in
volved iiiav belong to another country.
It Is gratifying to know lliat our Invent
ors have been quick to seize upon and de
velop tho idea, and that several systems
of approved scientific merit and practi
cability have been put into operation in
the 1'nltoil States.
Furthermore, through the liberality of
congress and the intelligence and Indus
try of the navy department, our Atlan
tic, Gulf and Pacific coasts are equipped
with a chain of shore stations, designed
primarily for the national defense, but
capable of receiving and transmitting
messages by any of tho systems of wlre
Ji'KK telegraphy now In general use. Even
our distant Insular territories and Alaska
are. so equipped.
So far as our own country Is concerned,
steps have thus been taken effectually
to prevent the establishment of a mo
nopoly in tho practical uso of the new
applied art.
Purpose of Application.
1 doom It highly desirable that tho con
gress before adjournment should enact a
law requiring within reasonable limita
tions, as determined by what the govern
ment of the United States has already
done and by what prudent and progres
sive shipowners have already found prac
ticable, that all ocean-going steamships,
carrying a considerable number of pas
songors, on routes where wireless Instal
lations would bo useful, should be required
to carry sufficient radio-telegraph instal
lations nnd competent operators.
The subject Is now under consideration
bv the congress and 1 am advised legis
lation to effect the same general pur
pose Is under consideration abroad.
Our interest in its enactment Is keen,
on account of the great number of steer
age as well as cabin passengers who an
nually arrive at and depart from our
ports. What wo havo already done along
practical business lines warrants tbo
United Slates In being first among the
nations to enact a staute requiring the
use of this safeguard of human life,

Tho resolution is as follows: 1
ThatRcsolution.
Whoroas, Tho board of governors of Hit
Commercial club passed a resolution las
.Saturday. February C. 100ft. a portion oft 0
vhlch reads as follows: "Hcartllv favor
the most stringent regulations of th
liquor traffic of this city nnd stato"; and
Whereas. The board of governors ol
the Commercial club are now. and havo
been for many years, operating a llquoi?
business in their club and havo failed to
procure a license from the city, although
they have alwaj's paid a government li
cense, and as such they are now con
ducting a liquor business In defiance nt
tho present rules nnd regulations of tho
quor traffic of this cltv. both as far aa
license is concerned and also as far as
the Sunday closing law Is concerned
therefore, be It
Resolved. That the license collector bo,
and ho Is hereby, instructed to notify
said club lo procuro a llccnso at once:
and If they neglect to procuro such II
cense that he then notify the chief of
police, that tho .chief mav proceed to at
once close up the Illegal liquor traffic of
said club.
Mr. Elack's View.
In speaking to his amendment, Mr. jH
Black said that the possession of a gov
eminent license is prima facie evidence
that liquor is being sold and that all
clubs in tho city Hmits are amenable,
to the city ordinances.
, Mr. Martin argued that a man's elnb
is the same- as his home, and thoroforo
cannot be brought under tho city liquor
ordinance. "Tho Comnicrcia'l club
buffet is not run for profit, but for tho
convenience of its members. I'm non
a member and I can't got a drink at;
tho Commercial club, neither could tho
chief of police get into the Elks' club'
buffet without a warrant if ho weren't
a member," declared Mr. Martin. "Tho
Commercial club is not organized for
profits to its members, but for tho up
building of tho city. And its club ia
its homo, and you" can't molest it in
this matter ns lohg as it complies with
tlio law in ever' respect."
Black Conies Back.
Mr. Black thought it just ns harmv
ful to sell liquor in tho high places as
in tho low. "Is tho rich man who
sells liquor in his club without, a license;
for convenience sake any better than
the poor man who sells with a license
for a living?" asked Mr. Black. "T
am a member of the Commercial club
myself and tho Commercial club, ad
nuttcdly, is organized for tho upbuild
ing of the citj. but I am in favor oi
tho resolution, if made, to apply to
all othor similar clubs." '
Similar legislation has been attempt
ed in eastern states, but held un
constitutional by tho higher courts on
tho grounds that a man's club is his
homo and that ho is entitled to drink.
ns little or ns much as ho pleases, so
long as ho keeps within the law thero.
OFFICIALS OF CLUB EH
DISOUSS THE ACTIO
W. .7. llallorau, president of the
Commercial club, when informed of tho
action of tho city council Monday
ovening, stated that ho could not say
what action would bu taken by tho
club at the prcsont time, as it would bo
necessary to call a meeting of tho
board of governors in order lo deter
mine tho intontion of tho club in tho
"Wo aro not conducting a publio
saloon in any sense of the word." said.
Mr. Halloran, "but a buffet bar. nnd
tho intention is to sell liquors only to IH
members of the club. The club is lho
home of many of the members and
tho bar is a private affair. I think
that clubs which sell liquors under such
circumstances are generally regarded as
private institutions, and I cannot seo
how they can require the club to take
out a license or close the bar.
"The small buffet bar which we con
duct in the club presents only a littlo
figure in the life of the club. We aro
working hard every day of the year
to build up the state and to better com
inercial conditions hore. Cerlaiuly if
t-ho club is violating any law by keep
ing a buffet bar it. will be closed,
or. at least, a license will bo taken out. flH
It is surprising to mo that it. should
bo necessary to havo a license, but
it is the intention of tho club o keep
within tho law on all occasious and,
