KINGS MAY JEEK DIVORCE Mother of Mrs. King Files Answer to King's Charges. SAYS SHE CAME ON INVITATION Alan Hectares thnt Phe Was 'ot Hi. traTRRsnt In Itny-lnsr ,Iliby Clnllirn, 1ml IlntiKht Them with Her Own Money, Warden Cannot Find Cause of the Fire Fire Warden Morris, who has been In vestigating tho fire which damaged the building occupied by the Burgess.Oranden company, 1511 Howard street, asserts that from all Indications the fire started on the first floor of the building, to the 'rear, In an , office occupied by Walter W. Sherwood, electrician. No supposition as to Its origin can be given, cither by Mr. Sherwood, the Burgess-Oranden people or the fire warden, and the cause of the damaging conflagration will In all prob ability remain an unsolved mystery. The portion of tho building occupied by the Omaha Gas company was practically unscathed by the fire, but was damaged considerably by water. According to one of the company's officials, the rooms will not be occupied for at least bIx weeks, by whloh time everything ts expected to bo ehlpshapo again. A divorce suit Is to be the next move In the eventful married life ot Icsllo I King, manager of the Omaha Wool and Storage company, whose wedding last September to Miss Dorothy A. Gardner of Chicago, known as ono of that city's beautiful Klrls, was a notable social event. According to excellent authority attempts nt reconciliation have failed, their former differences having been ac centuated by Mr. King's Injunction suit to prevent his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ievt A. Gardner, from continuing ner visits at his home, and tho beautiful residence at 3202 Woolworth avenue, prepared by ' Mr. Ktng tor his bride, will not again bo occupied by tho young wife, Mr. King's suit was given wldo' publicity. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner filed affidavits In district court yesterday answering the Injunct on suit, which Is still pending, though no hearing has been held, as Mrs. Gardner and her daughter Immediately left for Chicago nB soon as the putt was Martcd, which was a little more than two weeks after the birth of a baby son. Mrs. Gardner's affidavit says that al though .she visited her daughter three times in six months she came each time by Invitation and was never told that her presence was not desired. She asserts that sho was moved In all her notions only by anxiety to do tho best for her daughter and that what advice she gave was asked by her daughter In connection with her relations as a wife, Sho denies that sho Induced Mrs. Ktng to go to Chicago In December and says that Mr. King only persuaded her to return home by making a trip to Chicago. Mrs. Gardner asserts that the statement that she was extravagant in the pur chase of a wardrobe for the baby Is an "unqualified falsehood" and thnt she herself paid for all the baby's clothes she bought. She alleges that on one occasion shortly before Mr. King started his suit tho fam ily telephoned to the police station when Mr. King becamo "abusive." Howell's Half Truths and Whole Lies I Tlio boss of tho water works is using aMIttlc of the taxpayer' money to blow his own horn by post card purporting to tell what great things ho Is doing. Tho purpose, of course, Is to ease up popular wrnth nt tho broken promise of lower water rates by pretense thnt the extortionate charges aro offset by other benefits. Tho exhibit, however, ts but An ingenious concoc tion of half truths and whole lies. Howell soys: "Tho only property tax paid by tho peonlo of Omaha on account of tho water plant ts a hydrant tax, formerly levied to pay a hydrant tax to tho Omaha water company." This Is a pnlpublo perversion, for In addition to paying tho hydrant rental tax tho people haro nlso becn saddled with 9100,000 of taxes formerly paid by the water company, nnd which tho wntcr company would continue to pay If It retained the plant. Howell says: "Tho last full year's taxes paid by tho Omaha Water company was for 1911, nnd that year tho company paid tho city of Omaha on account of occupation nnd all other taxes J50.649.07." This is a deliberate deception. The water company's taxes for Its last year were in the neighborhood of $00,000. If tho water company were still paying taxes on Its plant, this Is what It would have had to pay, com putcd on the Inst tax rate levied, applied to tho last assessment made: Location.

Tho Persistent ana udlcloun Use of Newspaper Advertising Is the Road to Business Success. Because he Is possessed of a remarkable Intuition of what ho calls hunches." Robert Hayes, freight solicitor for the Burlington In Omaha, was tho means of preventing a friend and business asso ciate from going to his death In the steamer State of California, which struck a rock and sank In Gambler's bay, Alaska, Sunday morning. Hayes had Just returned from hts va cation In Alaska and ho stopped In Seat tle for a few days, mooting his many rail road friends and acquaintances. While there, Hamilton Taylor, employed In the Great Western freight department In Seattle. Informed Hayes that he was con templating a trip to Alaska and he had about decided to book passage on tho State of California, as he thought It to be about the safest of the ships on the Alaska run, It being entirely of stcol con structton. ' Rock linchnrteil. Hayes, howevor. Is a good Judge of building construction, and he had como tn the conclusion' that wooden boats would not telescope If they struck rocks, while steel boats would be sure to. And, as the Alaska boats' are frequently caught in heavy storms that drlvo them In all di rections and as many of tho rocks In the Alaska straits and bays are uncharted, Hayes believed a wooden constructed ves sel to be safer than one steel constructed. Accordingly, he gave Taylor his views on the subject and Taylor took the advice and booked passage on a woo'den vessel, leaving Seattle the sumo day. Hayes saw the fitate of California In Seattle four days before It went to Its fatal trip, loading Its cargo and ho re marked at the time that the steamship companies took Innumerable chancos sending veritable tubs, loaded to tho ca pacity, on such risky trips as those In Alaska waters.
