Ethel Marie McPherson, who was married to Joseph Edward McPherson in March, 1S9T, in British Columbia, says he deserted her In November, 1P02. and came to Portland. In September. 1804, she came to this city, and asked him to resume marital relations with her. and he re fused to do so. Yesterday Mrs. McPher son began suit in the State CircuitCourt against her husband for a divorce.

She asks the court to give her the children, and to compel the father to contribute alimony.

MAN HE SLEW HIS FRIEND Intoxicated Man Beats Landlord and Latter, ' in His Freny, Shoots Innocent Man Who Had Helped Him. Frank Snow, detective, testified at the trial of Gust Wirtanen yesterday that at the police station after his arrest Wirta nen showed him how he stood when he shot Matt Watilo. only a few feet away, and said he fired high and Intended to frighten him and did not intend to hit him. Snow testified that Wirtanen said four or five men jumped on him and beat him, and that when he got his revolver and started out to use It Watilo caught him by the coat tails and pulled him back. The officer said Wirtanen was in a nor mal condition immediately after his ar rest. His face was badly bruised and his eyes black, showing he had been severely beaten. Detective Hartman gave somewhat sim ilar testimony. Clerk Leonard Reads Notes. Archie Leonard, clerk to Chief Gritz macher, read notes of a statement made at the station by Wirtanen In which Wirt anen was made to say that Watilo. as saulted him. and Mr. Leonard would not admit on cross-examination that he got the names Houtala and Watilo mixedl. Houtala is the man who beat Wirtanen. according to the evidence of all the wit nesses. , Isaac Kaivousarri, a Finn, 23 years old, witnessed the fight between Houtala and Wirtanen. and heard the shot fired which killed Watilo. but did not see it fired. He said there had been no trouble whatever between Wirtanen and Watilo. He testi fied that he was down town and returned to the hotel at 12:50 o'clock. The saloon closed at 1 o'clock, and a party of 11 and Wirtanen then adjourned to the dining room and drank IS bottles of beer, per haps more. The witness said he, Wirt anen, Houtala and Watilo and one or two more then adjourned to room 13. where Arvld Johnson was asleep in bed. and drank a bottle and a half of brandy. Refused a Drink. Wirtanen refused a drink offered by Houtala. saying he had enough, and poured the brandy on the floor. The ac tion incensed Houtala, who struck Wirt anen as they passed from the room Into the hallway, and then pushed him down stairs. Houtala stood above Wirtanen and kicked him In the face. Wirtanen turned when part of the way downstairs and ran. As he reached the street he was overtaken by Houtala, and they struggled and fell into the street in the mud. Hou tala was on top. and continued to beat Wirtanen. Mrs. Wirtanen came upon the scene and Houtala ran away. Kaivousarri further stated that Watilo helped to wash the mud and blood off Wirtanen's face, and no angry words passed between them. They entered the house together, and the shooting followed, which the witness did not see, but he saw Watilo fall.' Arvld Johnson told a similar story. He also said that when Houtala had Wirtanen down In the street lie sat on him and punched him in the face with his fists. The only excuse offered for Houtala'e conduct was that he was crazy drunk. The law does not allow a wife to testify against her husband without his consent, and Mr. Ma larkey has announced that, as counsel for the defendant, he will withdraw all objec tion and permit Mr. Manning to call Mrs. Wirtanen and have her tell her story. She was the only eyewitness to the killing.

Excursions to neighboring states and cities are becoming very popular among the Portland business men. A delegation of Portland business men is now attend ing the farmers and shippers' convention at North Bend, but the latest Is the forthcoming visit of the executive com mittee of the Commercial Club to Spo kane. Accompanied by other prominent citizens, who will go along as guests, the members of the executive committee will be entertained by tb.e publicity and pro motion committee of the Spokane Cham ber of Commerce next Saturday and Sun day at Spokane. About three weeks ago the members of the publicity and promotion committee of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce were the guests of the executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club. They were the guests of the executive committee at a banquet given at the Commercial Club Tavern, which was one of the most suc cessful events of Its kind ever given In Portland. The purpose of the visit was to consult and to discuss with the mem bers of the executive committee the most effective mediums of exploitation.. Benefits of Co-Operation. At the banquet the nucleus -for an or ganization to embrace many of the lead ing commercial bodies of fhe three states In the Northwest was laid. Practically all of the speakers spoke of the great benefits that would be derived from such an organization, which would work for the Northwest as a whole and not as a part. . The members of the Spokane dele gation were heartily In sympathy with the suggestion, and upon the visit of the executive committee the matter will still further be discussed. Portland has always had a kindly feel ing for Spokane, but the visit of the Spokane delegation had a decided tend ency to increase this friendship greatly. The visit of the executive committee It Is expected will have the same effect. At Spokane matters of vital interest to both communities will be taken up and dis cussed. The Portland party will meet the most prominent men of the country tribu tary to Spokane, who will make the trip expressly for the occasion. Will Visit Spokane.
