BAR VIEW INCIDENT RAPPED Wife's Conduct at Beach Re garded Indiscreet. APPEAL TIME IS ALLOWED Woman Gets Temporary Custody of Baby Daughter Pending Further Litigation. OREGON CIT!T. Or., March 9. (Special.) Decree of divorce and the custody of his baby daughter, Eva Adele, was granted to Willard P. Hawley Jr., defendant in the divorce suit instituted by Mrs. Marjorie Haw ley, In a decision today by George R Bagley. judge of the Washington county circuit court, who officiated as trial Judge when the case was tried here two weeks ago. Judge Bagley awarded the decree to Mr. Hawley upon his supplemental cross-complaint, filed after the trial of the case had progressed for nearly a week, and based upon the plaintiff's charges of unlawful conduct on the rart of her husband. The court holds that these charges were not proved. Mm. Hanlrr GetH Child for Time. The temporary custody of the child is awarded to Mrs. Hawley, subject to the further order of the court, and Mr. Hawley is required to pay $250 a month for its care until the fur ther order of the court, and the court suggests, but does not order, that Mrs. Hawley be permitted to occupy the family residence until the final determination of the case upon ap peal, or if not appealed, until the expiration of the 60-day limit for ap peal of the case. Should the plaintiff appeal the the case, $1000 shall be allowed for expenses incident to the appeal. The court directs that the child, who is 2S months of age, shall not be removed from the state and that while she is in custody of either party, the other shall have the right at all reasonable times to Bee her. The decision of Judge Bagley rests entirely upon Mrs. Hawleys grave charges against her husband. He casts aside the other allegations of cruelty, which, he says, are questions of intent. His conclusions in part, are as follows: Decree Sought by Both. 1. Both the plaintiff and the de fendant seek a decree . upon the grounds of cruel and inhuman treat ment, and, therefore, in the light of the evidence in the case and the charges and counter-charges, we should ascertain what, in law, con stitutes cruelty. Legal cruelty is such conduct in one -of the marital parties as endangers, either apparently or in tact, the physical safety or health of th.i other to a degree render ins it physically or mentaily impossible for the endangered party to discharge properly the duties' Imposed by the marriage. "It is not every little act done or threat uttered while smarting under either real or imaginary slights, or prompted by the pangs of rage, or committed in the heat of passion brought about by the aggravation of the other party, that constitutes cru elty. Unintentional acts of indignities, unintentional injuries, the result of temporary passion or rage, unstudied disagreeable conduct, does not con stitute cruelty. Cruelty is a question of intent; a mental purpose to wound the feelings of the other party. And while it is true that it is not neces sary that actual physical cruelty be imposed and that the studied sneer, willful neglect or careless regard of the other's marital rights, may en danger the health of the injured party, yet it must be the result of a mental purpose; a present intent to wound and injure. Wrangling; Held No Canntu "Parties should not be divorced upon the ground of cruelty because they cannot live happily together on account of uncontrolled tempers or domestic wranglings. Those who en ter the marriage state should bear with the ordinary consequences of human infirmities, more or less in herent and uncontrolled in all hu mans. Here show of temper, petulant manners abruptness, shortness of sp&ech. or occasional exhibitions of passion, as a rule do not amount to cruelty. "It is always the duty of both the rpsband and wife to avoid quarreler to brins about concord and harmony, to reconcile their little differences, to forgive and to forget the ordinary troubles afecting the marriage rela tion. Neither party to a marriage contract can exact nor expert per formance from the other of the strict letter of the contract. The marriage status Is one wherein the law operates upon the weakness as well as upon the strength of human nature, and the marriage contract should not be dissolved except for grave and sub stantial causes, satisfactorily estab lished by a preponderance of the evi dence. Roles Applied to Suit. "Applying these rules to the plain tiffs cause of suit and various In cidents thereof, exclusive of the al legations of a criminal character, the only conclusion to which an open mind can arrive is that the charges of tha amended complaint have not tConriB'iM pt . Winn lj Price for Property in New York, on Which Theaters Stand, Called "Big Bargain." NEW YORK, March 9. Land be longing to the Henry Astor estate and on which the Astor, Bijou and Morosco theaters are located on Broadway and Forty-fifth street, was sold at public auction today for $1,140,000. Real estate dealers ex pressed the opinion that the land was a "bis: bargain" at that price. Thei property, which was divided into two parcels, has a frontage of 794 feet on Broadway and runs back 309 feet at the northeast corner of Forty-fifth street. The Astor property which occupies the entire Broadway frontage, sold for $790,000. The Bijou and Morosco theater property, which is subject to a lease expiring May 1, 1931, sold for $350,000. The Astor theater lease ex pires next year. The trust which held the property was created in 1S69 by Henry Astor, who deeded it to his brothers, John Jacob and William Astor, and Charles Southmayd, as trustees, with the un derstanding that he should always reseive the income during his life and if he left no children the prop erty should be divided among his brothers and sisters or their descend ants. Henry Astor died last year, leaving no children. He was the out cast of his family because of his mar riage to a farmer's daughter. WARRENTON SPLITS BONDS Issue of $350,000 Voted at Elec tion; $150,000 Block Rejected. ASTORIA. Or., March 9. (Special.) The citizens of Warrenton at a special election tcday affirmed the result of their November bond elec tion in one particular and defeated it in the other. The measure to create a dock commission and authorize the issuance of $350,000 in bonds to pur chase and improve waterfront prop erty was carried by a vote of 109 to 91. ' The measure to issue $150,000 in bonds to purchase a specified tract of water frontage at an agreed price of $1350 an acre was defeated by a vote of 84 to 171. Interest attaches to validation of the Warrenton water front bond issue by reason of the fact that it is charged that Morris Bros., Inc., of Portland, in the purchase and resale of the bonds to the state reaped an undue profit and that this brought announcement from Governor Olcott that an investigation will be made. Morris Bros, purchased the $250,000 of the bonds placed on the market. This entire purchase, except for $8000, was resold to the state treasury. WOOD AND HOOVER LEAD First of Presidential Primaries Held in New Hampshire. MANCHESTER, N. H., March 9. The first of the presidential prima ries for the election of delegates to the republican and democratic na tional conventions were held in this state today. The vote was light and the returns were late. With. one exception the republican candidates were either pledged for Maior-General Leonard Wood or known to be favorable to his nomina tion. The exception was John W. Flaherty of Nashua, a candidate for delegate-at-large, who was pledged for Hiram Johnson. In the first congressional district, Gordon Woodbury of Bedford, pledged for Herbert Hoover, was elected with out opposition. In the Becond con gressional district Robert Jackson of Concord, and Raymond B. Stevens of Landaff, both pledged for Hoover, were leading Henri A. Burque of Nashua, unpledged. ANOTHER FORESTER QUITS Associate's Resignation Follows That of Chief Graves. WASHINGTON, March 9. Albert F. Potter, associate forester, resigned today following the resignation yes terday of Henry S. Graves, chief of the forestry service. Mr. Potter, whose home is in Ari zona, entered the forest service un der Gifford Plnchot in 1901 as an ex pert on grazing and has been in charge of that phase of the service work. He wrote Forester Graves that he considered his work far enough ad vanced to permit him to retire to give his attention to private interests.

IMAGINATION IS BLAMED Apparent Denial of Parentage Ascribed to Desire to Relate "Romantic Story of Life." UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, March 9. (Special.) Opal Whiteley's grandmother. Mrs. A. E. Scott, who lives at Saginaw, 20 miles south of Eugene, attributes to Opal's vivid imagination her apparent denial of parentage as given in her biography in the Atlantic Monthly. She feels that Opal's imagination has led her to construct what Grandmother Scott calls "a romantic story of her lite, and has no idea that there ever has been ' any other Opal Whiteley than the one who is her own granddaugh ter and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Whiteley. The grandmother's belief in a way corresponds with the theories of pro fessors here who are Interested in the case. The grandmother, however, says that Opal never mentioned to anyone in the family the belief she has ex pressed in her biography 'that she is a foster child. Silence Held Strange. ' "It seems strange," she said today, "that the child should have had that idea at any time and not said some thing about it to her mother, father or grandparents. I think that if she had said anything about such an idea to her mother, I would have heard of it." Grandmother and Grandfather Scott, the three daughters of Charles Ed ward Whiteley, all younger than Opal and their little brother who will be six in May, live together in a little house in Saginaw, "the second house on the road to the right, be yond the little white church on the hill." They are all deeply grieved over the appearance of the biography in the Atlantic "by the author of 'The Story of Opal,' all except little brother, whq is too young to under stand. They are hurt because they do not understand how it could have happened. They are so bewildered that they preferred not to talk about it at all when seen today in their rural home. ' Faith Still Maintained. But not for a minute do they lose their faith and their trust in Opal. They are sure that something has happened to cause this change in her, what they do not know. "I am sure that everything will come out all right in time and be ex plained, but now does not seem to be quite the time," said Grandmother Scott. "We intend just to wait, be cause we are sure that everything will be explained later." Opal Picture of MoUirr. Grandmother Scott has been with (Concluded on Page 2. Column 3.) Japanese Firm Indicates Intention to Use Local Port by 35,000 Ton Order of Mineral. Thirty-five thousand tons of phos phate rock have been booked by Furukawa & Co., Ltd., for movement from Idaho to Japan through Port land, beginning in May, according to a telegram received yesterday by George Powell, president of the Oregon-Pacific company,' from the New York office of Furukawa & Co. The pending movement of phos phate rock has been a subject of open commercial warfare for some time between this ' city and Seattle, the Puget sound city having made des perate efforts to secure the traffic after it was learned that negotia tions were under way for the move ment through Portland. Mr. Powell and others Interested in the move ment look upon the announcement of bookings by the Japanese firm through this port as an assurance that the entire movement, amounting to at least 30.000 tons a year, has been won by Portland. The superior facilities for handling the commodity offered here and the differential of $1 in the freight rate, from the pro ducing territory to the seacoast in Portland's favor are understood to have been the determining factors in influencing the Japanese. The 35,000 tons announced yester day is the second lot of phosphate rock definitely booked. The Dyson Shipping company of Seattle pre viously booked 5000 tons for shipment in sacks, and half of this amount Is expected to reach Portland before the end of the week for loading on the steamer Waban. The 35,000 tons, according to the information received by Mr. Powell, will move in bulk and will be car ried by vessels controlled by the Japanese shipping company. Mr. Powell has been instructed by the Japanese shippers to arrange with the commission of public docks for the handling and to expedite the com pletion of the bunkers for loading at Portland terminal No. 4, formerly the St. Johns municipal terminal. Excel lent progress is being made on the site for the bunkers. The Port of Portland dredge, working on the load ing slip, already has completed one cut to depth of 20 feet and has started on another to bring the depth to the full 30 feet maintained elsewhere in the harbor. Representatives from the New York, Kobe and Yokohama offices of Furu kawa & Co., visited the Pacific coast a short time ago and inspected the shipping facilities here and on Puget sound. . Furukawa & Co., Ltd., is one of the largest mining companies of Japan. For some time past it has been ship ping from 7000 to 10,000 tons of freight a month from the United States to Japan, mostly copper, iron and steel. Large plans in Japan for convert ing the crude phosphate rock into super-phosphates, in which form it is placed on the market, are also con trolled by Furukawa & Co. LIVING OR , COSTS HIGH? Court to Investigate Responsibility for Increased Prices. TOPEKA, Kan., March 9. The Kan sas industrial relations court will in vestigate the "high cost of living and the cost of high living" and expects to ascertain which is responsible for the continuing increase in the prices. The court has sent out question naires to manufacturers, wholesalers and jobbers of foodstuffs and prod ucts. AND THE WORST Ex-Administrator Says He Is "An Independent Progressive In Is sues Before Us Today." NEW YORK., March 9. Herbert Hoover, in a letter received tonight by Ralph Arnold of Los Angeles, New York representative of the "Make Hoover President club" of California, declared he was not seeking public office, that his ambition is to remain a "common citizen," but that he be lieved he, "like every other citizen, should always be ready for service when really called upon." Mr. Hoover's letter followed the ac tion of a group of prominent Cali fornians residing here in appointing a committee to go to Washington to ask Mr. Hoover to make known his position. The committee included Mark Requa, oil administrator during the waz He asserted that while "such pro posals are indeed a g-eat honor, I feel that I cannot alter the attitude that I have consistently preserved." Mr. Hoover's letter continued: "First, I am an independent pro gressive in the issues before us today. I think that at this time the issues before the country .transcend parti sanship. It is well known that I was a progressive republican before the war, and, I think rightly, a non partisan during my war service. The issues confronting us are new and the alignment upon them has not yet been made by the great parties. I still object as much to the reactionary group in the republican party as I do to the radical group in the democratic party. "Second, I am not seeking publio office, and. consulting my own per sonal inclinations, I do not want pub lic office. I cannot prevent any citi zen or group of citizens from agitat ing that I should take public office, but I cannot conscientiously partici pate in any organization to that end "Third, I belong to a group which thinks the American people should select their own officials at their own initiative and volition and resent the manufacture of officials by machine methods. "Fourth, you and your friends have urged that I should undertake to or ganize propaganda for myself as rep resenting issues, by entering into competition for nomination by a great party. Aside from the reasons mentioned above, this implies entry upon a road of self-seeking, whereas my view is that I should agitate for the issues, not for myself. xou rightly say that Joining sheer , or ganization without issues implies en tering upon office-hunting, without regard to public service. "Finally, I am not so Ignorant as not to realize perfectly weel that such a course does not lead to nomination to the presidency, but I should not be myself if I started out on a path of self-seeking to obtain any office." "I feel sure that if I entered the race for nomination for the presi dency and undertook to solicit and spend the cost of propaganda and or ganization this would be In itself a negation of the right American in stinct, because of the obligations that it implies. "I thoroughly believe that I, like any other citizen, should always be ready for service when really called upon, but to go out and try to per suade the public to call me is opposed to my every instinct. "Third I hope to have the affec tion of my countrymen, but my am bition is to remain a common citizen, ready to engage in team play with any 'organization and leadership that has for its objective the consumma tion and maintenance of great issues (Concluded on Page 2.

STATE WINS LEGAL TILT District Attorney Outpoints De fense in Introduction of Mass of Literature. Fear of the wrath of an aroused government impelled members of the communist labor party In Oregon to be known by numbers rather than names on the red-inked records of the organization. "Members of similar organizations in other countries have been lined up against walls and shot." was the rea son given William R. Bryon, spe agent of the department of Jus tice in charge of the bureau of inves tigation for this district, by Claud Hurst, local financial secretary, for keeping the record of dues paid by members by membership card num bers only. This was testimony of Mr. Bryon yesterday during the trial of Hurst, Karl W. Oster, state secretary of the communist labor party, and Fred W. Fry, the first prosecution In Oregon under the state syndicalism act. This was not the original method adopted, but was substituted for the first scheme as a precautionary meas ure, explained Special Agent Bryon, who pointed. out how he had been able to trace the names of charter mem bers from impressions on a blank page under one which had been torn out of the book. 'Hurst's Card Produced. Hurst's membership card was pro duced by the special agent. Accom panying it was a voting registration card, which was returned to Hurst, and accepted without comment. The membership card was red and the ink in which the records were kept in the account book was red. Red is the color which blazes from the state and branch charters intro duced in evidence, the lower design of which is a crimson sun "a setting sun," suggested District Attorney Evans captioned, "Workers of the World, Unite." "After telling me why it was thought necessary to keep the names secret. Hurst declared he was open and above-board and didn't care who knew he was a member," explained the witness. Conversation Is Repeated. A conversation on December 27. 1919, with Oster, was repeated by the special agent, who said that Oster admitted being state secretary, told him that there was very little differ ence between the communist and the communist labor party, but that there was no communist branch in Oregon. Proof that Oster, Hurst and Fry were members of the Portland branch of the communist labor party, the first essential requisite of the prose cution, was completed yesterday.

Forma tion of a government corporation to purchase home for ex-service men was upged today before the house ways and means commite by Rep resentative Morgan, republican, Okla homa, explaining his bill to create such a corporation capitalized at $100,000,000. All the stock would be held by the government, which would make loans secured by mortgages up to a maximum of $4000. Charges that members of the com mittee were "endeavoring to kill bonus legislation by delay" were made by Chairman Fordney when the committee resumed hearings on sol dier relief legislation. "I am ready to begin business now," the chairman said, when members suggested that hearings be postponed until after the legislative committeo of the American Legion has met on March 22 to further consider soldier relief plans. "I don't want to crowd this meas ure, but we know the attitude of ex service men," the chairman continued. "Every officer who had good pay doesn't want a bonus. The privates who suffered financial losses aro overwhelmingly In favor of some re lief plan." Representative Kitchln, democrat. North Carolina, said treasury depart ment officials ought to bo heard by the committee before any plan was worked out. The committee decided to call Sec retary Houston.

(Special.) A detachment of Infan try, sheriffs, marshals and Ameri can Legion members are yet out investigating the cause of scattering shots heard about 10:45 o'clock last night. Reports differ as to the num ber, varying from two to five reports, but the location of the sound seemed to be about 500 yards from the Jail wherein the members of the I. W.

Some of the democrats were Hatlsfled with It, but 21 was the peak of democratic votes which lis republican advocates claimed for It, and It would take at least 30 and probably 34 for ratification.
