A etlr was created yesterday morning in Department So. 1, State Circuit Court, when C. E. S. "Wood demanded that the grand jury make a full investigation of the charges made in a newspaper of brib ery In connection with the C. E. Kumelin jury- He denounces thej accusations as outrageous, infamous and false, and paid action should be taken against the Instigator. Judges Cleland and Sears occupied the bench when court convened, and Mr. Wood, who defended Jlumelin in his re cent trial, was present with a newspaper in each pocket. Judge Cleland asked, "Are there any ex parte matters?" Mr. Wood arose, and removing one of the newspapers from his pocket, ad dressed the court, saying: "If the court please. I have something to say in a matter which is of vital interest ,to me." Mr. "Wood then proceeded to denounce an article concerning the jury bribing as malicious and untrue, and taking the other newspaper from his pocket and holding it aloft, stated that it had also made reference to it. The attorney pro ceeded to read the first article, and Judge Cleland interrupted him to say that there was nothing before the court, and the court had no information whatever upon the subject and did not think it was According to procedure to hear the re marks of counsel. 1 tends the Articles. Mr. "Wood, however, continued reading, and turning to Judge Sears desired to know if there was any truth in the pub lished statement that he had referred the matter to the grand jury. Judge Sears answered that he never referred the mat ter to the grand jury or any one else. Mr. Wood then demanded an action against the parties responsible for the re ports, which, he said, had been shown in open court were untrue. District Attorney Manning asked: "Do jou want a full investigation of this whole affair by the grand Jury?" "I certainly do," answered Mr. "Wood. "Then you shall have It, Mr. "Wood," said the District Attorney, and the in cident closed. Yesterday afternoon Cnarlcs E. Rum- elm, through his attorney, C. E. S. Wood. filed suit in the State Circuit Court against The Journal Publishing Company to recover $40,000 damages for libel. Vari ous publications In this paper are com plained of, including the one about the jury bribery report. They refer to acts of Mr. Rumclin as a member of the City Council In connection with the tele phone franchise, and refer to prices paid for votes and influence, and checks and money. -The complaint recites that the publications are untrue, malicious and libelous, and tend to Injure the reputation and good name of Mr. Rumelin in the community, and were published with in tent to injure him, and to create a preju dice against him and to endeavor to ob tain his conviction on a charge of which he is innocent.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT AVife Alleges Her Husband Intro duced Her as Unmarried. Iena C. Story alleges that her husband, Seth J. Story, introduced her to female acquaintances as a maiden woman by the name of Miss Story, and heaped personal indignities upon her when their little daughter made it known that he was her father. Mre. Story yesterday filed suit for a divorce in the State Circuit Court Story is a salesman of musical instru ments, and he and the plaintiff were mar ried In this pity oti November 9. 1900. The complaint filed by Mrs. Story is of a sensational nature. It sets forth that Story, six months after marriage, asso ciated with other women, and corre sponded with women in other towns and cities, inviting them to come here. Mrs, Story asserts that her husband repeat edly urged her to lead what he called a Bohemian life, and to be a good fellow. and when she has gone out in company with him Introduced her as a maiden Bo hemian woman and a good fellow, and at tempted to deny her as his wife. Mrs. Story further alleges that on Feb ruary U last she obtained possession of a letter written to her husband by Gladys Fcriton. a woman residing in Seattle, and the plaintiff also states In her complaint that Story admitted to her friends and relatives that he carried on correspond ence with other women. She says he told her father a street-car would not hold all the women he knew. Mrs. Story asks for $100 suit money, and $40 per month ali mony, and for legal custody of the child. NO CHARGE AGAINST D. A. IAUL Not a True Bill Returned by the Grand Jury. Kot a true bill was returned by the grand jury yesterday in the case of D. A. Paul, manager of the Sailors' Union, who was charged with conducting a sailor boardinghouse without a license. The complaint against Paul was made by Ben Blgelln. harbor master, who alleged that Paul boarded several sailors, and this the latter denied. His attorney Ralph Citron, alleged that the Longshore men's Union, which had a difference with the sailor boarding-house keepers, urged Blglln to act. The harbor master says this is not true, and he was only endeav oring to perform his duty as toe sees It. Mr. Paul thinks the law Is unconstltu tional and alleges that he will test it in the courts. He also asserts that It con filets with the Federal law on the same subject. Some time ago the Oregon Su preme Court construed the act for sailor boarding-house commission, and to regulate sailor boarding-houses, and did not declare it unconstitutional. Counsel for Paul may have some new points to raise. Cupid's Wings Clipped. Papers in divorce suits received from .outside points have been served by the Sheriff in the -following cases: Florence I. Dalton vs. Iou!s S. Dalton San Francisco: Myrtle Akley vs. Frank E. Akley. Jackson County: Sarah Orr1 vs. Tobias B. Orr. Minnesota; Carl H. Rogers vs. Effle S. Rogers. Tacoma. Grand. Jury Is Busy.

Morse, who raised the first American flag that ever floated over Vancouver, Wash., died at St Vincent's Hospital last night at 7 o'clock from a complication of diseases. He was i3 years of age.

In the Spring of '-45 he en listed in a company of volunteers sent to Vancouver. At the time of the ar rival of the troops the British flag floated over the barracks of the Hud son's Bay Company. Vancouver was then a trading post and the temporary home of bands of Indians. Morse, being tne drummer of his company, was assigned to the task of trimming a giant tree and converting it into a flagpole. When It was completed he carried an Ameri can flag to the top of the staff and fastened it there amid the cheers of the assembled troops and motley gathering of Indians and traders. He served as Sheriff of Clark County, Washington, for a term of four years and as Deputy Sheriff for the same length of time. Until three years ago, after he left Vancouver, he lived on a farm near Lents. Three years ago his entire possessions were swept away by the great forest fire ot that year, xne funeral arrangements have not been completed. INJURED AT FAIR GROUNDS Decorator Falls From Scaffold and Is Seriously Hurt. E. D. Hurrle. of Lents, Or., an expert decorator, was, perhaps, fatally injured in the Agricultural building, at tho Expo sition grounds, yesterday morning, jy falling off a scaffold to the ground, a distance of li feet. Hurrle alighted on his side on a table, and from there fell to the ground head foremost. His fellow-workmen rushed to his as sistance, but he was unconscious from the moment he came in contact with the table. He was sent to the Good Samar itan Hospital, where little hope is held out for his recovery- He Is 45 years of age. Upon examination It was found that Hurrle was suffering from a fractured rib. Internal Injuries and concussion of the brain. Hurrle was working on the sign ''Ore gon" which adorns the Oregon exhibit. He had leaned back from the scaffold which supported him to look at his work. In doing so he lost his balance. He grabbed for a small board, but it broke in his grasp and he fell to the table. He never uttered a sound after he struck the floor. Hurrle was considered one ot the best decorators at the Exposition, and had gained for himself a reputation of being a fast worker. He was very confident of his ability and often took chances. His friends say that he formed the habit of leaning backwards to look at his work when on a scaffold, in spite of the fact that It was very dangerous. He has a wife and three sons at Lents.
