THE MORNING. OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1907. 11 IS I it RESTAURRN T- mn Mrs. Otto Schumann Leaves for the South in Company With E. House. HER HUSBAND IN PURSUIT Kx-Stmt Senator Tries to Keep Secret Elopement of His Wife, but - Admits It to Close Personal Friend. Otto Schumann. ex-State Senator from Multnomah County and a well known monument dealer, is now in California endeavoring to locate his wife, who eloped several weeks ago with E. House, a prominent Portland-sportsman and restau rant propriertor. The affair has been kep.t as secret as possible on account of the prominence of the couple involved, but a few days ago events developed which, proved the elope ment to be a fact. Mrs. Schumann has-been acquainted with the restaurant man for several years past, and for a time assisted him in the ca pacity of cashier at his place of business. About one month ago House is said to have sold a piece of property, for which the remuneration was in the neighborhood (if SlO.OftO, and at the consummation of this gale, the couple agreed to elope. The night before House announced his inten tion to leave for his mines in California. Mrs. Schumann, according: to her husband, started for Seattle, but unknown to him returned to Portland and went to Oregon t'ity. House prepared for the journey and took the train at the Union Depot for San Francisco and is said to have purchased two tickets, one for himself and one for his wife, who, he said, would Join him at Orepon City. Then the train arrived at the Falls City, the supposed Mrs. House boarded the cars and joined House. From the description it is believed this woman vas Mrs. Schumann. Mrs. House remained in Portland and has assumed charge of the Third-street restaurant. She will not admit that her husband has eloped and simply announces that he is in California looking- after his mines. So far as known she has made no effort to locate her missing spouse, but vome one either connected with the restau rant or a close friend of Mrs. House, has (olegrsphed House at the Oakland address he left, calling upon him to return to Portland on an important matter. This message was sent two weeks ago. but so far House has failed to comply with it. About ten days syjo Otto Schumann went to California for the purpose of lo cating his wife and bringing her back. Previous to his departure he also denied any connection between his wife's trip south and that of the restaurant man. hut at the same time he is said to have Admitted to a close friend that the elope ment was true. It Is also known that he sent several telegrams addressed to his wife, in which he offered to forgive her in the event that she returned home immediately. Failing in getting any re lly he started for California for the pur pose of having a personal interview and bringing her back to Portland. One night, just previous to his departure, Schumann called upon a man whom he blamed for circulating the report of, the rlopement and . threatened to kill him. Meeting this man again the next day. Schumann apologized and acknowledged that the story was true. Portlander Owns Coin Minted in 1795 I. B. Kelly Thinks Hla IO Gold Piece the Oldest Piece of United Mates Coinage la Clly. DB. KKLLY Is exhibiting to his friends a 10 gold piece that he declares is the oldest United States 'coin in Portland. Mr. Kelly has been read ing assertions recently made by others that they possess the oldest coin in the city and says that he has as yet noticed mention of none that even approaches Ills curio in the time that has elapsed since its coinage. The coin owned by Mr. Kelly bears the stamp of 1795, the first year that the $10 piece was made. He has had it In his possession since 1858, when he bought it in New York for J16.30. It is unnecessary to say that he has been offered many times this price for It, but has refused to part with it, as he treasures it as a keepsake. The coin Is equal in circumference to the $30 piece of today and its color shows that there is little alloy in its composi tion. On one side is the head of the Coddess of Liberty, 15 stars and the date. The reverse surface is stamped with the eagle and the words "United Ftates of America." The value is indi cated solely by the eagle, the amount not appearing. MARQUAM TO BE REOPENED New Owners Arrange for Rushing Work on Alterations of Theater. E.

BOTH SUE THEIR DAUGHTER DIVORCED COUPLE SEEK TO RE COVER GIFTS. . G. . A I hers and IVrmer JW'ife Jirinz Separate Actions Regret 'Pres ents to Married Child. An unusual instance of domestic in felicity that Involves the estrange ment of the parents from a daughter, bas come to light in' a suit to set aside a conveyance of Portland real estate, now pending in the State Circuit Court, and in another in Justice Reids Court for the recovery of a piano and other articles of furniture, the gifts of the parents to the daughter. The principals in the litigation are George W. Albers and bis former wife, Emma A. Albers. and their daughter. Lillian, now Mrs. Lillian L. Ashlock. Mrs. Albers obtained a divorce from her husband in May, 1906. In a com plaint she has filed against her daugh ter, she seeks to regain the possession of lot 17, block 5. Gay's Addition to Portland. The mother represents that in August. 1903, prior to her divorce from Albers, she executed a deed of trust to her daughter to this prop erty, and left It with Albers with the understanding that he was to have it recorded only in case of her death. Mrs. Albers alleges that the deed was subsequently recorded by the daugh ter, who now refuses to reconvey the property, though It was directed in the divorce decree that the property should remain in Mrs. Albers" possession. Another chapter was added to the family complications yesterday when Albers filed in the Justice Court an action against his daughter, Mrs. Ash lock, for the recovery of a piano and other articles of furniture, together with damages in the sum of $15. While the daughter has not made an appearance in court, her attorney says the case is one of exceptional treatment of a daughter by her par ents. He says that the deed to the property to . which the daughter now holds title was completed by the father, who, following the granting of the divorce to his wife. Inserted the name of the daughter in the deed as grantee and then recorded the instru ment. It is further contended by the daughter and her, attorney that the piano and the furniture sought to be recovered by the parents were gifts from the parents to the daughter pre vious to her marriage, which was sol emnized March 2, this year. PEOPLE'S TICKET RECOGXIZED will Probably Appear on Official Ballot at St. Johns Monday. The People's ticket very likely will appear on the official ballot 'at the St. Johns city election next Monday. Recorder Thorndyke, of that thriving municipality, appeared in the State Circuit Court yesterday as a defend ant In mandamus proceedings where by it was Jeraanded of him to show why he refused to place the Peoples ticket on the ballot. v The mandamus proceedings were not threshed out in court. A delay was asked until some time next week, and in the meantime the necessity1 for the trial will have paBsed. But Jhe People's ticket will be fti evidence, for the Recorder has placed himself on record as favoring its recognition. In fact, it is said the proceedings were begun with the idea of pre venting a political coup whereby the ticket might be kept off at the last moment. . As the matter now stands a sec ond suit would have to give prece dence to the mandamus proceedings. Toe action was brought a week ago it TY n o ispiayo!

Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips told in the State Circuit Court yesterday of the hardships that have fallen to her lot during the 23 years she hns been the wife of Charles J. Phillips. First, she said she has been compelled to support herself and a fam ily of seven children during the past ten years. During that time the husband's contribution to the family was not more than $30 a year, which would not pay for the food he ate. Besides attending to her household duties she split wood by the cord. harnessed horses, plowed, sprayed fruit trees and did other menial work of this order. Once abe said she cut a carload of wood, sawing it into stove lengths and then splitting it into kindling. This was at The Dalles, several years ago. Mrs. Phillips said she thought she never would get through with the job. but stuck by her saw and hatchet and finally completed the taek. The woman completed her testimony in her suit for divorce yesterday and the husband then took up his side of the case. He branded bis wife as a pervari cator and said his brother once told him to take her from his home as she was not fit to be there. The man was not spar ing of the woman's feelings. In the midst or the husband's story Mrs. Phillips be gan weeping hysterically and had to be removed from the courtroom. Much of the day was taken up by the wrangling of attorneys. Ail sorts of legal technicalities were brought up. An amended complaint was introduced at the forenoon session and objections to vari ous lines of testimony were introduced without number. The case will probably be decided' today. ' Milwaakle Country Club. Eastern and California SeUwood or Oregon City from First and Alder atreta.
