SCHUMANN-HEINK ACCUSED
l'oliceman Named by Husband' In
Action in Divorce Case.
CHICAGO, May 14. Mme. Schumann
Helnk was accused by her , husband.
William Rapp. Jr.. yesterday of Im
proper relations with a. policeman and
a lumberman.
Recently the singer asked divorce
from her husband. He filed a cross
bill asking: divorce from her. A few
klays arfo he presented an amended
cross-bill accusing her of improper
conduct. This bill the court rejected,
and he filed an amended cross-bill con
taining specific charges.
Chicago friends of the singer are
wondering if the policeman from Pat
erson. N. J., named by the husband is
the same policeman whose musical ed
ucation Is progressing at Ann Arbor,
Mich., on funds furnished, it is said, by
the accused woman.
Rapp did not swear to his amended
cross-bill. He said the policeman
called to see his wife at their home,
3672 South Michigan avenue.
Rapp added that she quarreled with
liitn over raising the children and in
sisted on doing some "grotesque pen
ance" in atonement for acts committed
before the death of her first husband.
In addition. Rapp charged that his
wife was intensely jealous and accused
him of wrongdoing almost every time
he spoke to a woman.
BOY HERO GETS WHIPPING
IMiluth Lad Who Saves Friend From
Drowning Spanked by Mother.
DUT.UTir. May 14. The fact that
Theodore Truciel. aged S, saved the life
of his companion, Harry Nyberg, aged
4. did not save him a "good, sound
licking" when he went home with his
clothing soaked with water.
The Nyberg boy fell into St. Louis
F.ay while playing near the Northern
Pacific Railroad bridge on Rices Point.
Theodore jumped in heroically and
dragged his playmate ashore. Harry
was badly frightened and had become
strangled. Men heard Theodore's cries,
and after working with Harrv. suc
ceeded in bringing him back to his nor
mal state of health.
Theodore hastened home. His moth
er saw the wet clothes, and despite
Theodores explanations gave the boy
-a sound trouncing.
Didn't she know Theodore went in
the water to save his playmate's life?"
John Trudel, father of Theodore, was
asked.
"Sure, she knew it. But she didn't
want the boy to go in the water this
time of. year. It's too cold."

SILL MEAT MEN URGE
INSPECTORS, WHOSE DECISIONS
ARB FINAL OPPOSED.
Right of Appeal to Superior Body
Should Be Incorporated In Pending;
Ordinance, Belief of Attorney.
That it will be necessary, in order
properly to safeguard the proposed
new city meat inspection ordinance,
either to place the inspectors under
civil service or to give the slaughter
house proprietors an appeal to the
Municipal Court, to the City Council
or to some other authorized body, in
all cases of condemnation of meat, is
the declaration of John F. Logan, at
torney for the small packers, who are
fighting to have the ordinance changed
from its present form.
Mr. Logan says he believes great in
justice will be done the small dealers
if the Council passes the ordinance as
it stands, as it gives absolute power to
an inspector to say whether or not u
piece of meat shall be allowed to be
sold.
"This seems like a great injustice,"
said Mr. Logan yesterday. "It places
the dealer in the hands of inspectors
who may or may not be honest or have
right motives. We have had some bad
inspectors in the past, as the court
records here will show, and there is
no Teason to believe that wrong men
may not creep in in the future. I am
casting no reflections on the present
Chief Meat Inspector, but the proposed
ordinance, as it stands, provides for
the appointment of two more inspec
tors. No one knows who they will be
Experience only will tell whether they
are honest and reliable. Even the ap
pointing authorities may not know.
"If the inspectors are placed under
civil service regulation they will be
out of the political class.
"But to have men appointed for po
litical reasons say what a meat dealer
shall sell and what he shall send to
the crematory, with no right of ap
peal, is a serious proposition which
the City Council should not lose sight
of. Personally I favor properly safe
guarded inspection, so the small and
large dealer shall get equal consideration."
To Seal Bottles.

Bottles may be secureley sealed in
the following manner: Melt together
a quarter of a pound of sealing wax,
the same quantity of rosin and two
ounces of beeswax. When the mixture
froths, stir It with a tallow candle. As
soon as each ingredient is melted, dip
the tops of the corked battles in the
mixture. It will completely exclude
the air.
A SPRING tonic :
Old ' Reliable Hood's Sarsaparllla Is
Pleasant and Effective.
Your close confinement indoors and
heavy living during the Winter, and
the torpid condition of your system

so that now eruptions appear on your
face and body, you lack vitality,
strength and animation, your appetite
is poor and you fee! all tired out.
From any druggist get Hood's Ear
saparilla. It combines just the roots,
barks, herbs and other substances that
you need. It purifies and strengthens
the blood makes the rich red blood
that you must have to feel well, look
well, eat and sleep well.
Hood's Sarsapartlla is not simply a

cial.) Louis Lachmund, Frank Durbin.
Joe Harris, James Linn, tieorge Lewis,
Cieorge Roseo. John Roberts, D. P. Mac
Cartliy, Julius Pincus. Harry Talbot
and O. O. McClellan, hop buyers, came
here today to meet with tho growers
of this vicinity to make arrangements
for the permanent organization of an
association of hop growers of Polk and
Benton counties.
The meeting was held at the Hotel
Beaver. Among tho prominent grow
ers present were W. W. Percival, C. A.
McLaughlin. S. B. Walker. Frank Laws
and Miles Porterfield. It was decided
to hold a meeting Saturday afternoon
in the Isis Theater, where permanent
organization would take place, and a
committee was appointed to invite each
hopgrower in this territory.
The purpose of the association is to
carry on a campaign of education in
this state, in order to teach the citi
zens and taxpayers th? value of the
hop industry to the state and show
them the damage that would accrue
should the state go dry at the next
election.
The value of the last hop crop was
about $6,000,000 and it is predicted that
should the state go dry. there would be
trouble in finding a good market for
the crop. It is pointed out that the
price of hops was below the cost of
production the years that Polk County
was dry. while other hops sold for a
much better price.

What he believes will be a most
popular boat because of its convenience
has just been constructed by C. Van
JNostrand. of Montavilla. The fentnro
of the construction is in the process
by which the boat can bo tightened to
prevent leaking. Imbedded in the
wooden sides are iron rods starting
from the keel, which reinforce the
frame work and by which the boards
of the boat may be tightened should
any leaks develop. The theory of tho
invention is similar to that of tighten
ing the hoops of a barrel. Mr. Van
