SAYS SHE IS DRUNKARD Judge Frazer Severely Condemns . Husband Who Testifies That His Wife Is Unfit to Care for Their Three Children. Charles Mays, a mechanic residing near Lents, attempted to use the law to wreak vengeance upon his wife for her resent ment of his brutality late yesterday after noon, and as a result learned that the law is a buzzsaw which it is not always wise to trifle with. Swearing from the witness stand in the Juvenile Court that his wife was a depraved drunkard, unfit to have the custody of their three chil dren. Mays laid himself open to a severe rebuke. In the midst of the proceedings Judge Frailer ordered the case thrown out of rourt. He said it was obvious the hus band's only motive In prosecuting the case was to punish his wife. "By your own admission you are the most detestable, most contemptible crea ture I ever met with," said Judge Frazer. if this little woman is given to drink it Is little wonder, if she lives with you. I feci sorry for her. It will become warm in this vicinity for such creatures as you when this new law goes Into effect providing adequate punishment for brutal and Improvident husbands. This Is the very worst case of its kind within my knowledge, and you will be the very first man to feel the edge of this new law unless you change your methods." Mays turned white under this rebuke and worked about nervously in his seat but made no reply Evidently he had nothing to say. The statement upon which the rebuke was . based had come from his own mouth only a moment be fore. The testimony In question related to Mays' determination to leave his wife a few weeks ago. He said he told her that there was no use of their trying to get along. He was willing to go away provided she would give hiin $25. She had gone out to get the money but had not succeeded, so he was compelled to remain at home. "How was she to get the money?" asked the Court. "Borrow. It, I suppose," was the re ply. "Do you have the effrontery to tell this court that you were going to let your wife borrow money for you and then leave her in debt, with three children to support, while you went your way. with no responsibilities and none to care for but yourself?" Mays admitted, after a moment's re flection, that such was the case. Judge Frazer then gave his caustic opinion of the transaction: , Previous to this incident testimony was Introduced to show that Mrs. Mays was excessively fond of drink. Mays said lie came home on one occasion and set about cleaning the house. He found a bottle of whisky in the pantry, two bottles of beer in a clothes-basket, another bottle of beer behind the bas ket, and empty bottles in profusion. He did not object . to her drinking when he was along. In fact, they often drank together. But when he was away he seriously objected. Mays told of how they maneuvered to get a mutual drink when out for Sunday strolls with the children. Pass ing a saloon, Mrs. Mays would step into the family entrance, ostensibly to tic her shoes, while the husband cared for the children. When she had quenched her thirst she would return and watch the children while Mays stepped inside and took a drink. "Once I found my wife lying in the yard, so drunk she could not walk. I helped her inside and she was so bad with drink she threw her false teeth away." said the husband. His testimony lacked confirmation, however, and Judge Frazer declined to act on Mays' word. "If there is any reputable person who can vouch for the mother's inabil ity to care properly for these children 1 will consider the matter." said the. Court. "But the evidence of this crea ture Mays cannot be regarded as ma-, terial. I do not think he cares any thing about the custody or welfare of his children, judging from what he has said. He is seeking to avenge some grievance on this unfortunate little woman. Mrs. Mays may continue in charge of her children but she must quit drinking." BCS1XE8S ITEMS.

Pelton Shows Increase in Warehouse Dis trict Values. A continuation of the brisk movement in North Portland realty was shown yes terday In the sale of the half block on the north side of Glisan street, between THiird and Fourth, for $100,000. The prop erty was owned by D. C. Pelton and bought by Roger B. Sinnott and several associates. The transfer was made through the agency of Charles K. Henry and I. G. Davidson. This holding is half of the full block formerly used by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. Mr. Henry sold the prop erty for this company to Mr. Pelton about a year ago for $85,000. Even with the in crease of $15,000 the price is considered very reasonable compared with present values In the warehouse district near the terminal yards. The north half of the block was sold by the iron works to Mr. Henry and by him to Joseph Simon. Mr. Simon is now erecting upon it a six-story brick ware house for the Hazelwood Cream Com pany. It is probable that another large building will soon be built on the land just sold, as an agreement for a party wall between the properties has been signed. The names of the men associated with Mr. Sinnott in the purchase are not announced. Mr. Henry announces several other large sales as near completion. E. J. Daly and W. B. Streeter sold yesterday the lot at the southwest cor ner of Twelfth and Stark streets, with B0 feet frontage on Twelfth and 100 feet on Stark. It was purchased by a local syndicate for $40,000. The purchasers are planning to remove the present dwelling and erect a three-story brick building. This improvement will be made after the projected extension of Stark street has been carried out. This lot and the one adjoining on Twelfth street sold about a year ago for $40,000. the price that the one lot has now brought. Goldsmith & Co. yesterday sold the lot at the northeast corner of Sixth and Flanders streets. It was owned by Loe wensson Bros, and the consideration was $35,000. The purchaser is a local merchant, who will remove the'present building and erect a more substantial structure. The lot faces 50 feet on Sixth and 100 on Flanders. Several old buildings will be removed. Frank Kiernan has bought a fractional 1 ou the west side ol Second aUee), tween Yamhill and Taylor.

"FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST" Portland is the entering wedge for the Beef Trust in. Oregon. It aims to maka Portland its headquarters and ship meats to its warerooms in Oregon City, Salem, Eugene, Ashland, etc. Picture to yourself the yellow car, with its Chicago meats, flying through Oregon, collecting tribute and toll where it goes. In return for its meats (which are dear at any price) , in return for ruining the local butcher, pinching the farmer and bankrupting the livestock grower, what does it give the public? Nothing. It grabs all. Continue trading with Smith. Help Smith to throw down the Beef Trust NOW, while it is trying to gain a foothold in Oregon. The Beef Trust's cold-storage stuff tastes like straw compared with Smith's delicious meats. Beef Shanks for Soup 21 Lamb Liver . . Pigs' Heads . Pigs' Feet . . .
