BIG BATTLE RENEWED.
Associated Press War Lead, April
. 5. After a lull of a few days on the
: big battle front, presumably for the
., purpose of .strengthening their posi
tions, the Germans have ' again
' launched a terrillc tirade against tile
allied forces, the present strike of the
enemy being ut positions south of the
Homme river near the city of Amiens,
and although their renewed offensive
was made with heavy forces only
slight gains .were accomplished and
these at Isolated points, being repuls
ed at other sectors with great loss
.of life.
How well the allies withstood the
' .enemy's onslaughts is shown by the
;fact that on a particular, front nine
...miles, north of Montdidier the Ger
: maits used over 100,000 of their men
.in launcliing the attack. The French
.troops contested the ground bitterly
' .between the Avro and Lure rivers,

. a frightful manner with artillery fire, j

Germans against tho French in this

FRENCH HOLD POSITIONS." ' '-'
- Paris, April 6. Tho German army
Is continuing its attacks against the
' French troops today with all . the
fury at its command, desperate in its
attempts to push through, the allies
lines, but despite the superiority of
Uioir elfectiveness they have been
unable to attain their objective point,
that of reaching the railway leading
from Amiens to Olennnont, On the
- contrary, the French troops have
maintained! the line in its entirety, as
',' well as conquering a greater part of
li.e Epinette wood, north of Orvlilers
and Sorel, and all efforts on the part
of the Germans has been In vain, the
French troops stubbornly holding
their positions and giving the enemy
a good, warm reception on the bat
tle front wherever on attempt was
r made to advance. The French have
captured St. Aignan Farm, south, of
Grivesnes, and have held out against
numerous assaults launched by the
enemy, while in the north the French
' withdrew their troops "to positions
west of Castel, but the Germans
were thrown back at Arriere, Conr
wood, Went, Mailly and Raraevaf.
A London dispatch received this
afternoon states that early this morn
ing the Germans attacked the Brit
ish troops cn a wide front from uern-
ancourt, including the towns of
iilcnin, Beaumont, Hamel, Briegury
and MoyennviUe, and at each one of
these points the uermans were re
pulsed with a tremendous loss of
life, except at Dernacourt, where a
slight gain was made by the enemy.
' So far there has been no attacks
south of the Somme river. -
FRENCH LINES STILL HOLD.
'Associated Press War iend, April
5. Afternoon reports from the war
zone are to the effect that the French
lines have been held intact below
- Amiens and that the Germans have
- ueen defeated with great loss of life
in what probably constituted their
.- most . desperate effort heretofore
mode during the present drive to
break In and cut off all French and
British communications. This bat
tle raged with all fury a part of
yesterday and all of last night nni
great force was lanncnea - ny t tuc
enemy's troops to break down the
' 'allies' lines, but without avail, and
as a whole the French lines are nt
. this moment entirely maintained. In
their desperate effort to gain their
objective point the Germans gained
ahont 2,000 yards opposite Castel,
which still leaves them nearly three
miles from the railroad, a point they
are making a strong effort to place
their troops. .

and in some cases the land of their
nativity, fail In the discharge of their
duty and show a lack of sympathy
with the allied cause. There must
sooner or later be a positive showing

GAS COMPANY MAKE
, OFFER TO COUNCIL
y ... .. ..('. .."''.' '
At a special meeting of the city
council late this, afternoon, the gas
company representatives put up' a
proposition that was decmedi . fair
and equitable, and one In which all
citizens concerned will doubtless
concur. Mr. Eclthart, manager and
treasurer of the, Oregon, Gas Co.,
stated, thftt-thn &tpocaiion had .pre
seated their case to the public ser
vice commission, stating Inability to
sell gas at a loss, and. asking that
if the petition for increase In raise
of price was denied' . that the com
pany be allowed to close down the
plant. This fact .was stated to the
council today, and It was said by Mr.
Eckhart that If Roseburg would ac
quiesce In thlsr position that the
company felt sure the commission
would allow the Increase of tiny
cents per 1000 cubic feet of gas that
was asked1. Then, under that order,
the gas company will continue in
business and take their chances with
the public. In other words, the
company takes the responsibility of
showing to consumers and the city
that its attitude is reasonable, while
If the rate was denied and the com
pany forced to close down, it might
be said that Roseburg had forced a
business concern to the wall. Those
who feel they cannot pay the extra
fifty cents per 1000 cubic feet are at
perfect liberty to discontinue the
service at their own. option.

OTHER WOMEN IN CASE
Bad .Temper Was Alleged by Both
Plaintiff and Defendant Also
. Jealousy a Factor in Caus-
i Ing-Heart Ache. -
Coming west from Iowa some
years ago, finally locating in Rose
burg, where they, lived tor some
time, Jesse Prior and his wife Nellie
E. Prior finally separated, the hus
band going to Idaho, taking along
one sou, Hugh, while tue other chil
dren remained' In . Roseburg- with
their mother. All this .wa! brought
out during the hearing, for divorce,
Mrs. Prior having Instituted proceed
ing for annullment ot the marriage
about a year ago, the caso Just com
ing up for settlement yesterday. Ac
cording to the testimony adduced It
appears that the Priors were married
on November 28, 18tH,or about 24
years ago, and began their married
life In Iowa. Several children were
born to them in tho course ot years
following, one of whom is now mar
ried, although not living In Roseburg
at present. But all did not go
smoothly in the Prior household, ac
cording to the evidence.. The wife
alleged that her husband was quite
a lady s man, and frequently flirted
with other women, whose names fig
ured conspicuously at the hearing,.
among whom were a young woman
or two ln-Rosebnrg. These flirtations
were alleged . to be a source of con
siderable grief and heart ache to the
plaintiff. In addition to his proclivi
ties as a successful charmer ot the
fair sex. Prior was charged by his
wife with using .much badi and pro
fane language in her .presence and In
the presence of the children, and in
attempting to get her committed to
the hospital for. insano at - Salem.
Mi'B. Prior also alleged that her
husband falieu to provide for the
family. Some of the children were
called upon to testify, and a young
daughter substantiated more or less
of the testimony offered by Mrs.
Prior. . .
In January last Josse Prior filed
an answer to his wife s complaint,
denying In toto all ot the allega
tions made by his wife, and In turn
asking that a decree of divorce be
granted! him, and praying for the
custody of the minor children. :
In his testimony yesterday Mr.
Prior told of his wife's alleged bad
and ungpvernauie temper, and how
she became violent In her manner.
during which occasions of fury Bhe
abused the children and made life a
burden for him. . He charged that
she was insanely jealous of other
women, for all of which -there was
no cause, according to the witness.
In support of his contention several
witnesses were examined who told
substantially the same story, show
ing that be had provided' for the fam
ily to the best of his ability. . :
Judge Hamilton patiently heard
the charges and counter charges of
wife and nusband, listened to testi
mony showing that Mr. Prior had
asked the district attorney at Twin
Falls, Idaho, where he was when his
wife Instituted suit for divorce, to
make inquiry, of the authorities In
ivbseburg concerning Mrs. Prior's
sanity.. It developed In this connec
tion that District Attorney Neuner
had been asked to investigate the
question of sanitay, which ne did and
reported back that the lady was men
tally sound. The judge also heard
of Mr.. Prior's attempt to got his
wire committed to the hospital
through the -county court here, and
this also failed, and listened to other
and various allegations brought out
In testimony -and cross examinations
of witnesses tor both paries to the
action. After the evidence was all
in the matter was submitted to the
court. . . .- --j . .-. - !
George Jones, assisted by John
Long, who recently took a hand in
ttf case, were conducting Mrs.
Prior's interests. B, L. Eddy rep
resented Mr. Prior. . Attorney Long
submitted the case In the brief state
ment that no decree should Issue.
Neither party was entitled to divorce.
1 he court evidently, viewed the situ
ation from much the same angle, and
after scathingly reminding the prin
cipals In the family tragedy of their
duty to their children, they were
admonished to forsake their antag
onistic attitude and dwell at peace
between thomselves. The petition of
the plaintiff was denied! and the case
dismissed, - . .,

and Attorney General Brown to

Incidentally Speaker Stanflold

tion for U. S. senator, before in- :
flictlng on' the public another circu
lar, should explain to the people
why during the closing night ot the
last legislature he harangued (the
house . against Attorney General
Brown's bill appropriating money
for the prosecution of the case,' and
slaughtered It. with his political ma
chine. ' ' . ; '.
Connected witli the litigation Is an
Interesting history of political -In
trigue, for from its commencement-'
attorneys 1 for . the corporation- have
schemed, lobbied' andl fought "before
legislatures and the state land board '
for the dismissal of the suit. Insti
tuted more than five years ago by
former Attorney . General Crawford,
the case first encountered serious op
position before the state land board
after the 10 16 legislature had appro- -
nrlated funds for its prosecution. At
torneys for the corporation asked for
a dissolution, and Secretary Olcott
favored the corporation, represent
ing that Attorney General Brown re
garded the litigation hopeless. . As
suming this to be true, Governor .
Wlthycombe was agreeable, and! the
case - was ordered discontinued.
Learning of the board's action. At
torney General Brown rushed to the
executive office. After a conference
with Mr. Brown, Governor Wlthy
combe announced that the attorney
general favored prosecuting the case.
More funds were required by At
torney General Brown, who had In
troduced a hill inthe last legislature
appropriating $5000 for the litiga
tion. It passed the house. During
the expiring hours of the closing
night of the session the measure was
suddenly recalled by the house from
the-Benate, and following a speech
by Speaker Stanfleld from the chair,
flaying the measure and eulogizing
the - promoters! of the corporation,
his organization killed the measure.
After the session the corporation's
lawyers renewed their battle for the
dismissal of the suit,, and,' despite
the fact that the land board Is
charged with jurisdiction over this
class of litigation. Secretary Olcott
refused to go on record either for or
ngalnst dismissal, assuming the uni
que attitude that it was a question
for the governor to decide. Gover
nor Wlthycombe then asked Attorney
General Brown for an opinion and
recommendations. Mr. Brown held
that the case came' within the Juris
diction of the board, and' asked for
its moral co-operation and .wore
funds. Confronted with this opin
ion, Secretary Olcott came Into line,
and the land board decided to ask
the emergency board for funds. With
Secretary Olcott, Speaker Stanfleld '
Is a member of the emergency board,
and having In the meantime develop
ed pronounced political ambitions,
ho reversed his former attitude, and
with four other members- of the
board voted for a resolution pledg
ing the attorney general money for
continuing the case. - Attorney; Gen
ernl Brown is now pressing the liti
gation, with - good prospect of re
covering for the school fund ' the
lands covered by the litigation.
