HOLDS OXE WITNESS EXOUGH.
JocTrjre Scars Therefore Grants Di
vorce to Thomas Xicliolas.
Judge Sears decided yesterday that there
was no binding, rule that a Judge cannot
grant -a divorce on the uncorroborated tes
timony of one witness, and entered a de
cree in the case of Thomas Nicholas
against Druscilla Nicholas on the ground
of desertion.
Judge Sears stated that the rule requir
ing corroboration did not exist except 'in
the ecclesiastical courts. It did not exist
in the courts of the United States, nor in
England. The court referred to Bishop's
work on marriage and divorce, where It
is stated that the practice of requiring
corroboration was never adopted in "Eng
land or the United States. Judge Sears,
in discussing the question, said -where the
witness Was a person of high character,
whose evidence was believed, and not
contradicted by another witness, the di
vorce might be granted, but this practice
would not be adopted. The court would be
slow to grant a divorce under such circum
stances, and would refuse in ifl out of 20
cases. Attention was - called to the fact
that In a number of states corroborative
evidence has been required, and while not
provided directly for by the statute of
this state. It has been1 Insisted upon by
thd courts.
Nicholas came here .frpm Texas, Mo.,
where his family still reside. He and his
wife are' said to have had a serious dis
agreement, and he settled $12,000 upon her
before he came away. His testimony was
that she abandoned his home.

Gau. was acquitted by the jury which
tried the case. The verdjet was returned
at 10:20 o'clock yesterday morning, after
deliberations lasting for -about IS hours.
Judge Frazer called the jury In when
court convened, stating that he hoped
they would be able to' reach a verdict, as
another trial of the case would entail a
large expense, not only on the county, but
oh the defendant as well. He asked the
jurors to retire once more to the jury
room and see If they could not agree.
The jury had stood for some time 10 to 2
lor acquittal, and in less than an hour
the two obstinate men agreed on acquit
tal. The majority of 'the jury was for the
defendant from the first ballot, 'which
Shows that the evidence for the prosecu
tion was not considered as convincing.

sult of a -quarrel.

Fault on -Both Sides.
PORTLAND, Or.,; Nov. IS. (To the
Editor.H-Some few days ago there ap
peared in the editorial columns of your
paper an article criticising the young
men who graduate from the High School
of Portland as not being able to spell or
express themselves intelligently, espec
ially In making application for a posi

answering an "ad" 'expects to get a 'po

his;arms and expect to ' receive.- any kind
of compensation for same.' r"wlll ven

question have never seen the Inside of
a High School. The average business
man cannot dictate an Intelligent letter,
except In any "old way, leaving the young
lady stenographer to decipher It out as
best she can. I have never had a High
Schdol education, and. In fact, was thrown
out in the world on my own resources
when quite young thereby' being de
prived of a thorough education. Peo
ple are apt to be a little hasty in ridi
culing others, thereby showing their own
weak points. It will be well for some of
the business men to devote a part of
their time toward improving their edu
cation instead of ridiculing the young
men of today. I can state as a result
of my experience under the employment
of some of the' "business men," that the
youth,' fresh from school, no matter how
w.ell versed he may be In the correct
use of the English language. Is apt to
lose much of what he has learned by a,
year or more's contact with some of these
illiterate business men.
In -my struggle for an education -I con
sidered myself handicapped by working
for business men . who though prone to
snap up others for' their little faults
and deficiencies, never conceived the Idea
of how much they particularly lack In a
knowledge of the proper use of our lan

XEW PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING AT ST. HELENS, OR.
ST. HELENS, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) Tho Gumm public school building of
St. Helens was recently completed at a cost of $3000. It Is a four-room structure,
with basement, and has provisions for furnace heat. The building was named
In honor of the late John Gumm, who left beneficiary legacies In his will to aid
In the construction of new school buildings at both St. Helens and Columbia City.
testimonial to the ability of the modern
surgeon to patch up the human frame.
The catalogue of Burns' afflictions and
physical disabilities reads like a list of
the casualties in a mine disaster or a
subway explosion.
Burns says that the entire top of his
skull Is gone, being replaced by a silver
plate which is attached to his right jaw;
five ribs on the left side have been re
moved, forcing his heart to the right
side of his anatpmy; a portion of his right
hip is missing: one of his legs has been
fractured in three places, the other In
two; his elbow joints are a thing of mem
ory; he Is blind In one eye; one of his
kneecaps is situated midway down his
shin, and in all 37 pieces of bone have
been removed from his body. Burns says
that atone time he was thought to have
passed to the great beyond. The shroud
had been prepared, the coffin was ready,
when the supposed dead man rose to pro
test against the funeral rites.
The much-disabled man was born in
Troy, N. Y., 73 years ago. He claims to
be a veteran of the Mexican and a sur
vivor of the Civil "Wars. He joined the
Navy schoolshlp Hartford shortly before
the outbreak of the latter conflict. He
served under Farragut. and, while on an
expedition along the Mississippi River, he
was struck by a shell and the entire
upper portion of his skull was shot off.
For weeks he hovered between life and
'death, after having submitted to an op
eration involving the Insertion of a large
sliver plate In his skull.
After the Civil War Burns says he
served on the Jeanette during the Greely
expedition. On his return he was caught
In machinery while serving as an engin
eer In a plant at Charleston, S. C. Ac
cording to Burns' statement he was
hurled around the. factory for some min
utes. He was crushed beyond recognition,
and when rescued was pronounced dead.
He was borne tenderly to the morgue
and laid away on ice. He there regained
consciousness and informed the attend
ants that he was still to be numbered
ampng the living.
Since that accident Burns says he has
spent a major portion of his time In the
hospitals. Five years ago, he declares,
the doctors and experts of Bellevue Hos
pital. New York, gave him up. He Is go
ing about' the country looking for his
brother, who has been missing for many
years.

LEADER IN EDUCATION
REV. J. H. ZAHAX WILL VISIT CO
LUMBIA UXIVERSITY.
Extensive Improvements -May Be the
Result Splendid Gymnasium Is
Almost Completed.
President A. M. Qulnlan, of the Colum
bia University, at University Park, an
nounces that Rev. J. H. Zahan, a dis
tinguished divine and head of the Notre
Dame (Ind.) College, and the branch col
leges throughout the United States, will
visit the Columbia University the latter
part of the month. His visit is looked
forward to with great Interest, and will
be an Important event In the history of
the young institution. The date of his
arrival is not yet known, but will be very
soon. ' .
Preparations are already being made for
a big reception tp the distinguished divine
on his arrival, to be held at the univer
sity building. His visit may have consid
erable significance to the Portland insti
tution, and may mean that a dormitory,
and other Improvements will be provid
ed for.
President Quinlan also reports that the
big gymnasium hall on the campus will
be completed within the next three days.
It only remains to put in some more of
the glass. The students have already
been using the hall for their indoor ex
ercises. It is an imposing and attractive
structure. The roof, which Is composed
wholly of glass, is supported by Immense
arches which rise at the highest point
nearly 60 feet. It was Father Qulnlan's
Idea that, the light should come from
above, and not -from the sides, as first
contemplated. The light falls downward
.on those engaged In athletics, and there
will be no shadows. Tho roof being sup
ported entirely by arched trusses, the floor
space Is not obstructed by posts. Tho
arch of the room forms a semicircle of 150
feet, while the area 6f the ground floor
on which the indoor sports will take placo
Is 24,000 square feet, and the structure Is
66x44 yards.
Generally It is modeled after the gym
nasium at Notre Dame College, of which
Columbia University is a branch, although
not so large. No college on this Coast has
so fine a gymnasium, and it Is said that
no college In the United States hag a gym
nasium wth so great a floor space. The
cost was something over $7000. President
Qunlan says that It will be dedicated with
appropriate ceremonies In the near future.
It will be ready for the Inspection of
Rev. Father Zahan on his arrival.

TIchner Burckhardt Assault Case
Will Be Fiercely Fought.
The hearing of the case of Abe TIch
ner, charged with assault and battery on
F. Otto Burckhardt, was continued till
this morning at 9:30 o'clock In the East
Side Justice Court. It will then be heard
before a Jury. It had been set for yes
terday forenoon, but the jury asked for
by tho defendant could . not be got to
gether. Henry McGinn, attorney for Mr. TIch
ner, as soon as the court opened, moved
for dismissal on the grounds of want of
jurisdiction. He held that, according to
the recent amendment to the law govern
ing Justice Courts, cases must be tried
In the district In which the parties reside,
and cannot be heard in a neighboring
court. W. N. Gatens, Deputy District
Attorney, held that the amendment re
ferred to by Judge McGinn did not apply
to criminal cases, and called attention to
the law. Justice Seton said he was sat
isfied the East Side Court had jurisdiction,
and overruled the motion to dismiss.
Judge McGinn then asked for a jury. R.
A. Wilson, H. H. Crosier, E. A. Phltney,
E. H. Virgil, J. C. Jameson and J. Shau
nessey were drawn.
It is evident that the case will be hotly
contested by the prosecution. Judge Mc
Ginn asked that a record be' made of his
motion to dismiss, and Justice Seton or
dered the clerk to make the entry. TIch
ner filed an affidavit to the effect that he
was not a resident of the East Portland,
district, but of Portland.
WAXT PURE WATER SUPPLY.
Milircuklc People Xnme Committee
to Investigate the Question.
A well-attended meeting of the residents
of Milwaukie was held in the Town Hall
Monday evening to consider the matter of
bringing Mlnthorn springs water to the
schoolhouse, and also for general use In
Milwaukie. F. H. Lechler, the chairman,
made a short talk detailing the purpose
of the gathering and setting forth the
need of better water for the schoolhouse.
Following there was a general discus
sion of ways and means of getting Mln
thorn springs water. It was decided to
Investigate the probable cost of piping
It to the schoolhouse. A committee was
appointed to look Into the matter. On the
result of the investigation v will depend
whether the water will be brought In or
not. It seemed the consensus of opinion
that It would be a good thing for Milwau
kie to get a supply from Mlnthorn
springs.

Survey Made for Extension of Haw
thorne Line to West Avenue.
The Oregon. Water Power & Railway
Company has made a survey forextensIon
of Its Hawthorne-avenue railway to West
avenue, near the northwest corner of
the Lower Mount Tabor reservoir. This
is not- a direct extension of the Hawthorne-avenue
branch, but rather a branch
from the Mount Scott line. Right of way
was secured along the north side of the
Hutchinson farm between the Section
Line road and Hawthorne avenue. The
new branch will connect with the Mount
Scott line several hundred yards south
of Hawthorne avenue.
So far the survey ends at West avenue,
a short distance north of the reservoir.
The county has refused to give a fran
chise on West avenue to the. Section road,

and the owner of the land on the west
side of West avenue has also declined
to give right of way along his property.
However, when the branch is built to
West avenue, It will provide car facili

length of the proposed branch will be
about three-quarters of a mile.

NEW COFFEE.
For the V. S. Army.
Some soldiers are badly effected by cof
fee drinking. The Hospital Steward In
one of the Army Posts In the West says:
"Though in the medical service of the
Army, I suffered agony for two years
from a case of chronic gastric indigestion,
and now that I am free from all the tor
tures attendant upon It, 1 attribute It to
the good effects of Postum Food Coffee,
both as a food and as a beverage.
"I used medicinal and mechanical means
to relieve myself during those two years,
and even though I had left off the use of
coffee, I did not find myself In any meas
ure free until I had commenced using
Postum.
"Being In charge of a detachment of
the Hospital Corps, U. S. A... I. of course,
had supervision of the mess, and my de
grees I have initiated into using Postum
every member of the mess, some of whom
were formerly very loud in their denuncia
tion of anything 'manufactured.' And, go
ing still further, I haV'e supplied It to our
patients in lieu of coffee; none have found
fault, while many have praised It highly,
ani when returned to duty have continued
the use of it when it was possible, for a
soldier has an extremely hard time in try
ing to choose his own food.
"For the past eight months not a grain
of coffee has been used in this hospital,
and thanks to a cook who prepares Pos
tum just rlg'ht there Is. a brilliant prps
pect of coffee taking a permanent seat in
the background.
"One who has passed through the hor
rors of Indigestion as I have, shudders as
he looks back upon his sufferings and
when cognizant of the cause, will shun
coffee as he would a rattlesnake." Name
