reached Seattle today that Miss Mary
Havens, a white girl, formerly cashier
In the grill of the Hotel Portland, of
Portland, was married last Tuesday at
Spokane to , Eddie 8. Jones, colored,
who a few months ago was a waiter
In Spokane establishment.
According . to the Information re
ceived here, the ceremony was per
formed by Justice Hlnkle. Jones is
at present a waiter In the Spokane
hotel. Miss Havens went there two
weeks ago for the purpose, It Is said,
of wedding her colored sweetheart
The marriage license reads E. 8
Jones, of New York, and Mary Havens,
ef San Francisco. This was done, It
Is said, so friends of Miss Havens
would be thrown off the track. An
eye-witness to the ceremony said to a
newspaper correspondent today that
Miss Havens claimed to have been
queen of the Elks' carnival at Port
land, but here It Is believed that she
was only a contestant for the honor.
Miss Havens said that she learned to
love the colored boy when both of
them were working In the Hotel Port
land. Jones got a better Job at Spo
kane, and Miss Havens followed him
there. After the ceremony she said:
I know people will call me crasy
for marrying a colored man, but I love
him and he loves me. However, to
avoid Imagined disgrace, I hope my
people In Portland will not learn of
it." . I

OUTING CLOTHES for Hen and Boys
Hart Schaffner & Marx outing suits are something more than simply thin cool clothes; you may as
well gat style in your outing suits as to buy clothes that are merely "put together." You may as well
have them fit your body and made so they will keep shape through the season, Instead of hanging like
a string In a couple of weeks.
You'll get such outing suits as you ought to have If you come here and ask for Hart Schaffner tc
Marx clothes. We'll show you the label; a small thing to look for, a big thing to find.

was received from Rear AJmtnd Chad

BATHED IN BLOOD.
Dying
Man Said Woman Shot Him
While Jealous.
Butte, Mont, June 25. Richard J.
Flnnegan, a married man, who recently
came to Butte from Chicago, was shot
In a house In a lonely quarter several
miles from the' city In the vicinity of
Mount Morlnh cemetery, yesterday, and
he died from the effects of the wounds
at 1 o'clock this morning. In a state
ment signed by Flnnegan before he
died, he says Mrs. Llzsle Morrison
shot him during a fit of jealous rage.
Neighbors, alarmed by the man's
cries and the sound of the shooting,
rushed Into the house and found Fln
negan lying perfectly nude on ' the
floor, the body bathed In blood. He
had been shot through the lungs and
head. For a number of hours Flnne
gan stubbornly refused to divulge the
name of his assailant, but late last
night, when he realised the approach of
death, weakened and told the story of
the shooting.
Flnnegan said Mrs. Morrison fired
twice at him in the dark as he lay
in bed, but missed him. Thinking to
deceive her Into believing him dead, he
remained perfectly still, but when she
advanced to the bed and placed the
muscle of the revolver against his
body, he grappled with her, and dur
ing the struggle she fired two bullets
Into him.
The police thus tar have been unable
to locate the woman. Flnnegan has a
wife and five children living In Chi
cago.
and which was made public today.
This letter Is addressed to "Darling
Wife and Children,' and opens as fol
lows:
forgive me for this last terrible
act of my life. God knows I love you
dearly, but our once happy home is
ruined by my own weakness and the
plotting of malicious enemies."
The letter then tells how friends had
failed him, and "turned the cold shoul
der"; says that "she" was only a tool
In the hands of his enemies, and con
eludes with a warning to his wife to
be careful of any money that come to
her, and asks her to try and teach
his little girls to think kindly of their
father. .
Miss Alvord, who was shot by
wayne before be plunged from the
eleventh story window, is in no dan

HIS BLOOD POISONED.
Coroner Gets Infection from General
Slocum Victims.
New York, June 25. Coroner
O'Gorman, who has handled most of
the bodies recovered from the Slocum
disaster, has contracted blood poison
ing. He pricked a finger of the right
hand while removing a breastpin from
one of the bodies last Sunday, although
he wore rubber gloves. Within a short
time the finger began to swell and the
poison spread rapidly. The usual treat
ment has thus far failed to check the
spread and antl-toxlne probably will
be Injected Into the coroner's arm to
day.
