SEATTLE BEFORE COMING HERE Chief Gritzmaeher Learns of Williams' Robberies on the Sound. pla bur Chief Gritzmaeher learned today that j Charles Williams was evidently impll- cated la the daylight robberies of apart - -meat-houses In Seattle several weeks ago." Will lams, when arrested here for the same crime, declared emphatically that he had not turned a trick in Beat tie, merely passing through that city ton his way to Portland. The) Seattle police were never able to apprehend the robber who worked In - the broad light of day. Chief Grltz ' jmacber finally Informed them that Williams had roomed in the Alaska building while in Seattle. This morn ing the chief heard from Seattle that ''Williams room had been searched and 5 a trunk full of articles stolen last April found therein. This explains the readiness with which Williams confessed to his rob beries In Portland and also-explains his :": eagerness to begin serving out his sen-;-. tenco in this state. It Is now thought probable that he has operated In like 1 manner all over the country. In Seat ' ..' tie Williams was known as Russell.

She withdrew her cross complaint, and Mr. Newbury was grant ed the divorce on grounds of desertion by Judge Henson or Klamath Falls, who was called In to try the case. The coirt's decree provides for the conveyance to Mrs. Newbury, formerly Nellie Rose of fhoenlx, of the resi dence property In Jacksonville, Includ ing furniture, etc., and release by the lalnlirr or all interest In Mrs. New- ry's property at Phoenix and vicinity. Twenty-five Dollars Allxnonj. By the decree Mr. Newbury Is to pay to the county clerk on the sixth day of each month, payable to the order of Mrs. Newbury, $25. until the youngest child shall reach the age of 18 (nine years), but In the event that Mrs. Newbury re marries, payment ceases. The decree gives the care and custody of the children to the Joint control of both parents, but they are to live at Mrs. Newbury's home In Jacksonville, Mr. Newbury having the right at all proper Cmes to visit with them and the children the right to return the fath er s visits. -Neither party recovers any costs from the other, though the court had already allowed Mrs. Newbury $160 as attor neys fees and costs, which was paid by Mr. Newbury. Attracted Great Attention. 'On account of the prominence of the parties Involved the case has attracted great attention. Over 60 witnesses were subpenaed to give evidence. Both the plaintiff and defendant gave dramatic recitals upon the stand both frequently breaking down, necessitating court ad journment. The defendant's story sounded like a ehapter from a realistic novel and was absorbingly Interesting. She admitted that the relations of husband and wife had not existed between the couple for a year past, though both lived lu the same house. . ,u . , ipsa : i - f 1 jdM At .

Grant at a dinner tell a story of a sharper who conducted a swindle who would have made even George Washington smile ap provingly. It was during the civil war, It seems. Just when the government stood in the greatest need of soldiers. This man, the swindler, inserted In the newspapers everywhere an advertise ment which read something like this: 'Notice For Jl I will give any person positive information whereby he may avoid the conscription.' "Replies came into the swindler at the rate of a thousand a day. There was a dollar with every letter. The swindler was making his fortune. Some even offered to pay more if necessary.

Twenty-five doctora reg istered before the final session was con cluded. This Is the largest number of physi cians that haa ever been present In the northweat in one body before. Besides the state ot Oregon. Waslilngtun and other states of the northwest were rep resented", and a number of distinguished men of the medical profession came from far points in the United States to address the meeting. Foremost among these were Dr. George W. Crlle or Cleveland. Ohio, and Dr. Herbert C. Moffitt of San Fran cisco. These two men alone contributed such valuable information on timely medical subjects as to make their visit here of incalculable benefit. The asso ciation adopted special resolutions of thanks for the visitors at the close of the meeting yesterday. Kaka Startling Revelations. The public' session held yesterday aft ernoon was an Innovation in Oregon, it being the first of its kind to take place In this state. Its purpose Is to educate the people to the danger of allowing disease to spread and to make them realize that At is a auty every gooa cit izen owes the stats to help the medical world In its fight to maintain the public health. Owing to the lack of tlmo onlv two speakers were able tp give addresses. These, however, were of such a start ling character as to cause every one who heard them to reflect upon the import ance of caring for the indigent sick. A. L. Mills, president of the First National bank, made a powerful appeal for aid from the state. In the war upon the white plague. The subject of his address was 'What the Public Can Do In the Fight Against Tuberculosis." Mr. Mills was a member of the last'Oregon state legislature which refused to pass a bill appropriating a rund to be used In assisting tuberculosis patients who are too poor to help themselves. He declared that this action of the state of Oregon stands alone In the legislative history of the country as a place of unexampled brutality and In humanity to mankind. In his arraign ment of the state the speaker did not spare Portland, either. He said that the business men of the city liave thou sands of dollars to expend In advertising by means of a rose festival, and they use their Influence to pass measures protecting fish In the streams, but have not a single cent to protect the lives or Jt their families from the danger of, conv' taglon, which every day grows In viru lence throughout the land. Used Batter Sanitation. Especially bitter was his refeepca to the lack of care accorded to the poor who suffer from consumption. Hq said that there was nt a room In the city where a woman dying from tuberculosis could find a place of rest for her last hours. Dr. E. E. Heg, state health officer of Washington, came over from Seattle tA appear at the public meeting. He spoke on "Municipal Sanitation and Its Ef fect In Communicable Disease." Dr. Heg said that too much stress can not be laid upon the Importance of perfect sanitation in our cities where the condi tions are so fnvorable to the spread of disease. Ho said that every municipal ity should consider the. health depart ment the most Important one of the city's offices and other questions of public Interest should all give way to those of public health.
