THE MORNING 'OKEGDNIAN,. WJBDNES1 A v ff(fflBiiSTiii3i GOMIO OPERA TRIAL Dentist Sues Mother-ln-Law for $50,000. SAYS SHE TOOK HIS WIFE AWAY Jekn H. Savin Presents Testimony to Show That Hannah Mcolal, Whose Danshter He Married, Broke Up His Happy Home. The trial of the suit of John H. Davis against his mother-in-law, Hannah NIco lal, for $50,000 damages for alienating his wife's affections, was begun yesterday be fore Judge George and will continue for several days. The defendant Is the wife of Theodore Nicolai, the well-known saw mill man, and the plaintiff is a young dentist, the son of Dr. L. M. Davis, also a dentist and well-known resident of Alblna. John H. Davis and Lucy Nicolai were married at the beginning of the year 1898, and have one child, a boy, nearly Ave years of age, who, since the separation of the parents, has resided with his mother. Davis complains that his mother-in-law entered Into a conspiracy to cause her daughter to leave him, telling her that she knew of a number of menof means better suited for her than he was, any one of whom would be glad to marry her. Charles F. Lord and John F. Caples ap pear as attorneys for 3Ir. Davis, and Mr. Lord made the opening speech to the jury, telling what he expected to bo able to prove.. Mr. Lord admitted, as charged In the answer filed by Mrs. Nicolai, that Davis drank at times and even gambled. The answer mentions Nogales, Ariz., as a place where he committed such offenses, and depositions to this effect were ob tained from witnesses, consequently the attorney doubtless concluded that denial was useless and it was better to concede eomc of his client's shortcomings. Mr. Lord, however, proceeded at consid erable length to explain that young Davis had not been a bad husband or father, and that Mrs. Davis, who was referred to frequently as Lucy, was not dissatisfied with him until influenced by her mother, whom, counsel said, cast some sort of a ' spell over her. The matrimonial career of the couple was gone over, ending with their last place of xesidence, Sumpter. Mr. Lord asserted that Mr and. Mrs. Davis lived happily at Sumpter. Mrs. Davis be ing pleased with the somewhat Bohemian life, but that Mrs'. Nicolai appeared on the scene and persuaded her to come to Port land on a visit. Subsequently, counsel said Mrs. Nicolai made her daughter leave her husband. Mrs. Davis had been writ ing daily to the plaintiff, and Lord in formed her friends of her intention to re turn to Sumpter. Finally Attorney Lord told of the time when Davis came to Port land to see his wife and of the grief and mental agony which he suffered on learn ing that she had deserted him at her mother's repuest, and told of her depar ture with Mrs. Nicolai for California to Bpend the Winter. The attorney stated in a very dramatic manner that Davis could not see his own child without an order from the court. Hr. Lord also spoke of two cottages in Mbina from which Mrs. Davis received the rents, when Davis was in Nogales. O. F. Paxton, attorney for the defense, In response to Mr. Lord's speech, said that Johnny Davis was a bad boy who spent considerable of his time drinking and gambling, and for that reason was not a good husband and did not prosper In his profession. He stated that Johnny Davis, as he familiarly called him, was a person of good address and took well In a pro fessional capacity, but did not hold his business because of his habits. The at torney further asserted that soon after marriage Davis remained away from home late at nights and sometimes all night Keferring to the cottages in Alblna coun sel stated that they were deeded to the plaintiff and his wife at the time of their marriage, by the plaintiff's father. Dr. L. M. Davis, and were furnished by the Nicolals. Johnny Davis mortgaged the property before he went to Nogales, and afterward the property was deeded by his wife to Mrs. L. M. Davis. Mr. Paxton next spoke of a visit made to Salem "by Johnny Davis when the Leg islature was in session where he and an other man got mixed up with some girls. The wife of the other man heard of it and told Mrs. Nicolai, who, counsel said, did not inform her daughter, "as she might have done, but warned Johnny to behave himself better or she would tell Lucy. "The sole question in this case is," said Mr. Paxton, "Did Mrs. Nicolai wilfully and for the purpose of injuring Johnny Davis alienate the affections of her daugh ter from him? The mother never counseled her daughter to leave Johnny. On the contrary, she told her to be very careful and to consider well before doing that." The attorney said Mrs. Davis left Johnny of her own accord and had, fre quently complained and notified him that he would have to do better. In conclusion Mr. Paxton stated that Mrs. Nicolai never should have been dragged into court in such a suit, and that she did not deserve any such notoriety. Mrs. L. M. Davis, the mother of the plaintiff, was the first witness. She testi fied that Mrs. Nicolai told her If Johnny did- not do better she would take Lucy away from him, and that there were men of means who would be willing to marry her daughter if she was free. Mrs. Davis also told of seeing Lucy after she came from Sumpter to Portland, and speaking to her about leaving Johnny. Before she could answer Mrs. Nicolai spoke up say ing she did not believe in making up after things had gone so far. The jury selected to try the case Is as follows: Sv I. Ogden, John Gill, Al. Church, Felix Gilbert, John Conley, E. Versteeg, J. J. Hobertson. S. Wlshard, T. I. Hlckey. J. H. Hawley, P. A. Eddy, P. H. Rook. Dr. L. M. Davis and members of his family were in attendance at the trial, also Mrs. Nicolai, the defendant, and her daughter, the plaintiff's wife. LETTER. SEVER WEXT. Neither Will District Attorney Have to Give It Back. Deputy District Attorney Arthur C. Spencer need not return the letter which he took from John C. Carroll, to Carroll's attorney, B. S. Pague. Judge Sears so decided yesterday. He held that while in its judgment the Deputy District Attorney had no legal right to take possession of t the letter, the court was without juris diction to interfere. Carroll Is held on a charge of passing forged checks. He wrote a letter in the County Jail, and Attorney Spencer inter cepted it in order to compare the writing with that contained on the bogus checks. Mr. Pague may-take other legal steps to obtain possession of the letter which he floes not want used in evidence against bis client. Anilcrxon Is Innocent. The information against John Amterson charging him with arson in setting fire to a house in Alblna, was dismissed by Judge Cleland yesterday on motion of District Attorney John Manning. The reason assigned for the dismissal was that Edward Arpln, the young firebug re cently arrested, confessed to the crimes 5f which Amterson was accused. Bnn Over by a Fox Terrier, A slightly built young man who was standing on a Third-street crossing yester ,Jay waiting for a car was seriously jolted ud scared and hardly knew what it all meant. A quiet, well-behaved cocker spaniel was coming down the street? chased by a wicked little fox terrier just as the man took his position on the cross ing. He did not see the dogs because they were behind him, and the spaniel 'did not see him because ft was looking back to see whether the terrier was likely to overtake him or not. and he ran against the man's legs and plunged be tween them, upsetting him on the walk. The terrier passed over him, seeing noth ing but the spaniel he was after, and when the victim regained his feet the dogs were out of sight around a corner, and he stared about to see what It was that had knocked him down, and finally concluded It must have "been a thunderbolt. PROTECT THEMSELVES. City Attorney Will Not Defend Conn oilmen In Damage Salts. Damage suits brought against the city by victims of bridge accidents must be fought by members of the Council as In dividuals. City Attorney Mcjfary has requested the different members to hire attorneys to look after their Interests in the suits, explaining that he Is officially disqualified from, representing them, as, according to a decision of the Circuit Court, the suits must be directed against the Council, the city not being a party thereto. Attorney McNary bases his action upon the decision in the case of Bottler vs. the City of Portland. In that case Attorney McNary' filed separate demurrers to the complaint on behalf of the Mayor, City Engineer and Board of Public Works and -City Council. The demurrers were sus tained except In the case of the Council. Following Is a copy of the letter, which was sent out yesterday to the Council men: "Dear Sir In the case of Bottler vs. the City of Portland et al., separate demurrers were filed by me for the City of Portland, the Mayor, the City Engineer, the Board of Public Works and the members of the Council, all of which demurrers were sus tained excepting that of the members of the City Council, which was overruled. "The charter of the City of Portland provided that the City Attorney must at tend to and shall, subject to the direction of the Council, have control of all actions, suits or proceedings in which the city is legally interested. The city, not being further interested in the case above men tioned, I have concluded to inform each of the members of the Council that. In my Judgment, it will be improper for me to further appear officially In the "case, and to asthat you employ' an attorney to be substituted for me therein. I am, yours very respectfully, L. A. M'NARY, "City Attorney." Before the opening of today's Council meeting the members will gather in the ante-room and discuss the situation with a view to determining just what they will do in the matter. DOGS HAVE THEIR DAY. i Ponndmaster Rounds Up Untagged Canines. Business at the City License Collec tor's office received a great impetus yes terday morning. Licenses on dogs became due September 1, but less than GOO li cense tags had been paid for, as 15 days of grace in which to pay are allowed and few are In a rush about paying dbg licenses. The days of grace having expired the Poundmaster started out a dog catcher with a cage wagon and a long handled scoop net 'early yesterday morning. He left a trail of walling women and chHdT ren in his wake, and arrived at the City Hall at 8:30 A. M., with his cage com: fortably filled with a varied assortment of dogs. Shortly after a . bareheaded woman in a blue calico wrapper, accompanied .by two excited boys, raced Into the City Treasurer's office and asked for an order on the dog catcher to deliver up to them a canine pet, displaying a cer tificate for license tag 599. It appeared that when they had seen the dog catcher coming, one had hurried to the City Hall and secured" a license tag, but before it could be got to the dog, the catcher had caught him without any tag and had him in the cage, and so the old trick failed. It was necessary to go to the pound and pay the fee in order to get him back. When this Incident was over a man came in for tag GOO, and on being told that there was likely to be about 2000 tags sold, he remarked: "That means JGOOO gone to the dogs." The number of dogs kopf In the city is falling off rapidly of late. Three years ago the amount collected for dog licenses was about 57000, while last year It was but a little over $5000- People can live without dogs but when the catcher seizes a dog, the owner is generally In as great a hurry to pay license and redeem him as people are to pay water rates after the water has been shut off. VIE IN HONORING PALMA. Cuban President In Heartily Greeted on His Tour of the Islund. PUERTO PRINCIPE, Cuba. Sept. 15. President Palma, after he started yester day from Havana on his tour of Eastern Cuba, traversed long stretches of sparse ly inhabited country. At every town he was greeted by squadrons of mounted Cubans, received addresses from the of ficials and party leaders, and was present ed with bouquets by pretty senorltas who made speeches of welcome. The enthusi asm when the President entered the re gion in which opposition to the admin istration was reputed to be, the strongest Increased. On President Palma's arrival at Puerto Principe last night, the entire vicinity of the station was filled with a cheering mass of people of all colors ,nnd condi tions. Nearly the whole population fol lowed the carriages containing the Presi dential party to the provincial building, where President Palma was formally wel comed. Commenting on the enthusiastic recep tion accorded him the President disclaimed that it was a tribute to his personal pop ularity. He said: "It is the result of the people's joy over the success of the RepulJlic, and the trib ute is tendered to me as the Chief Execu tive." President Palma Is making no speeches save brief responses to addresses of wel come. When local speakers bring up the subject of the revolutionary soldiers' pay, the status of the matter Is courteously and briefly explained by the President. PIERCE ELECTION RIOT. Tammany Contest Cnlls for the Fijee Use of Sticks and Stones. NEW YORK, Sept. 15. One man may die and several others are seriously In jured as a result of the most serious riot this city has experienced in many years on the eve of a primary contest. The riot occurred at Fifth avenue and 118th street. Many shots were fired, and only when a large force of police reserves were rushed to the scene was peace restored. For .more than an hour the Street was filled with a howling crowd of partisans of Isaac A. Hopper and Daniel J. O'Con nel, rival candidate? for the Tammany leadership in the thirty-first Assembly District. Sticks and stones filled .the air, while the cries of the contestants could be heard for blocks. Robert Crombic, formerly a county de tective on the staff of Distrlqt Attorney Jerome, is in the Harlem Hospital with a fractured skull, one arm broken, and, it is feared, internal injuries which he suffered when a mob kicked him Into unconscious ness. He Is not likely to recover. George Leonard, a policeman, was bruised about the head and body and beaten almost into insensibility. Half a dozen others were hurt, and one man was shot in the leg, but the police did not get their names MARQUAM LOSES POINT J. THORBURN ROSS WAS WITHIN THE LETTER OF THE LAW. Plaintiff Who Would .Regain. Title to Dlgr Building 3Inst Rely on. . Charge of Fraud. In the suit of P.. A. Marquain against the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, J. Thorburn Ross and others to recover pos session of the Marquanr block and other property, Judge Sears yesterday held that It was not Illegal for Ross to bid in the property at the mortgage foreclosure sale, notwithstanding he was trustee for Mar quam. The decision of Judge Sears was ren dered on demurrer to the voluminous an swers of various defendants, which were overruled. This Is at least a technical victory for the defendants because there was involved In these rulings the question of the valid ity of the original "purchase by Ross; this matter having been reargued before Judge Sears at great length last Spring, and the contention of the defendants was yesterday upheld by the court. The court likewise held that thcj defenses of the fonder decisions made by Judge Cleland In the original .foreclosure suit, tried two 3ears ago and affirmed by the Supremo Court, were properly pleaded In this suit and could be availed of by these defend ants; also that the defense of laches were available, though the court expressed the opinion that from his knowledge of the evidence, this defense could probably not be proved upon the trial. - The plaintiff, Judge Marquam, was al lowed time to file replies, and-the indi cations are that, as the cause now stands, the plaintiff will have to stand or fall, so far as his complaint is concerned, upon his direct charges of fraud In the conduct of Ross; and. even then should he win out upon that issue, he1 will be confronted with some of the other' defenses that the court yesterday, upon their face at least, upheld. Judge Marquam instituted' suit Novem ber H of last year to recover possession of the Marquam block, also SO acres In the Quinn donation land claim and lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, in block 120. The defendants were the United States Mortgage & Trust Company,, the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, the Oregon Company, J. Thor burn Ross and Thomas A. Prince. In his complaint. Judge Marquam alleged that the Title Guarantee & Trust Company was trustee of the property for Marquam and his wife and that J. Tt Ross, as gen eral manager of the Trust Company, con ducted all the negotiations for the mort gage loan from the United States Mortgage & Trust 'Company and trans acted all th,e business for the Marquam trust The complaint further cites the con tention that neither the Trust Company or Ross, as 'its officer, could purchase the property free from the right of Marquam to redeem It, which he contends Is now his desire. It is further claimed that the Title Guarantee & Trust Company and ROss mismanaged the trust reposed by Mar quam for the purpose of bringing on a forced sale of the property, and thus en abling them to buy It in for less than one-half of Its actual value. Further on the complaint asserts that on October 24. 1901, J. Thorburn Ross, with- the knowl edge of other persons, caused the incorpo ration of the Oregon Company and be came the owner of all Its capital stock, either In their own names or those of others, and that March 10, 1902,. Ross, with the knowledge and consent of the United States Mortgage & Trust Company trans ferred to the Oregon Company all his In terests In the certificate of sale of the Marquam property. Issued December 10, lfKX), and caused the Sheriff to execute to the Oregon Company a deed as assignee Qf the certificate of sale. ' . ' ' The transfer to the Oregon Company, says the complaint, was without any con sideration other than to asBlst In carrying out" a scheme to deprive Marquam and his wife of their property. 'November 8, 1902, cites the complaint. Judge Marquam demanded of- Ross, the Trust Company and the Oregon Company a statement of the amount of net income received from the property since December 10, 1900, and to be allowed to redeem the property from the sale upon payment of the full amount justly and legally required for the pur pose and tendered the amount as soon as it should be ascertained, but each of them refused to allow him to redeem. Plain tiff contends that he Is still able and will ing to paj any of- the money legally re quired. According to the complaint, the Mar quam building was erected at a cost of over $500,000, and the Quinn tract Is said to be worth ?60,000. The four lots in blq'ck 120 are placed at $16,000. and the total value of the property involved is held to aggregate $776,000. The complaint cites additionally that November 13, 1S94, Mar quam owed a debt of $250,000 to Jame3 Phelart, of San Francisco; $20,000 to Dr. A. Sonnenfeld and aggregately, with ac crued interest, a total of $300,000. It then says that Judge Marquam was Indebted on other claims to the amount of $30,000. Crank: Who Wrote Hay Is Insane. NEW YORK. Sept. 15. Francis V. Renque, who was arrested on complaint of the Federal authorities on a charge of hnvinir written threatening letters to Sec- ART OF REST. May Be Acquired and Used With threat Benefit. Complete and restful poise of the body and mind is an art not easily gained. Perhaps nothing brings one as much content, comfort, happiness and pleasure as those conditions of easy, restful, re sourceful and well-balanced mind and body, that make of work a pleasure and the daily life happy and peaceful. The nervous housewife busy with a hun dred duties and harassed, by children; the business man, worried with the press of daily affairs, etc., cannot enjoy the peace and restful repose and healthful nervous balance unless they know how. There Is a way. First and foremost the stomach must be consulted. That means leaving off coffee absolutely, for the temporary stimulant and the resulting depression Is a sure ruin to the nervous system, and ,the whole condition of health and happiness rests upon stomach, nerves and mind. , Start with the stomach, that is the key stone to the whole arch. Stop using things that break down its power, upset its nervous energy and prevent the proper digestion of the food and the consequent manufacture of healthful blood und nerves, brain and tissues. When you quit coffee take on Postum Food Coffee. That is like stopping .the payment of interest and starting on a career where you are loaning money and receiving Interest. The good results are double. You stop poisoning the system with coffee and start building up the broken down nerve cells by powerful ele ments contained in Postum. These are pure food elements ably selected by ex perts for the purpose of supplying just the tiling required by Nature to perform thl3 rebuilding. These are solid substantial facts and can be proven clearly to the satisfaction of anyone, by personal experience. Try the change yourself and note how the old condition of shattered nerves and worried mind changes to that feeling of restful poise and well-balanced nervous system. The managing physician of a hygienic sanitarium in Indiana says that for five year in his practice he has always In sisted upon the patients leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee with the most positive, well-defined results and with satisfaction to the most confirmed coffee toper.
