14 THE MORNING OREGONlAN. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 19, 1907. VALUE' ON. HER LOVE Joseph G. Carson Brings Suit Against H. C. Hadley. WANTS $25,000 FOR SPOUSE Says Transfer Man Alienated Affec tions of His Life-Partner Mrs. Carson Has Her Husband ' Placed Under Arrest. Twenty-five thousand dollars Is the value Joseph G. Carson places upon the affections of his wife. Airs. Elizabeth Higbie Carson. Carson held that valu able asset for only a few months after his marriage at San Francisco late in December of last year. Almost with the waning of the honeymoon there appeared T-eroy H. C. Hadley, of Portland, second vice-president of the Baggage & Omnibus Transfer Company, who appropriated Mrs. Carson's affections in full, so the husband says. Consequently Carson, having sustained loss of the realty de sires a cash equivalent. He brought suit yesterday through his attorney, W. W. Banks. Even while en route to the Circuit Court to file the in strument he was gathered in by the law on a charge of having threatened to kill his wlfe Mrs. Carson filed the charge under which the arrest was ifiade. She said he threatened to take her life, dur ing a conversation on the subject of their domestic affairs a few nights ago. Carson was accompanying his lawyer, Mr. Banks, to the -Courthouse to present the claim for f25,fOO when the arm of the law fell upon him. The arrest was made by Detective Maher, of the District Attorney's office. Carson protested vain ly that his wife was merely trying to head off the suit and that the charge was groundless. But the warrant had to be served and the abandoned husband suffered the delay and inconvenience of being taken to the police station and re quired to leave 500 bail for his appear ance before Judge Cameron today. As soon as he was clear he hurried to the Courthouse and presented his formal claim for the cash equivalent of the lost affections. In his complaint Carson enumerated the Items of his loss quite fully. He sets up -that he was deprived of the affection, com.fort,W fellowship, society, and assistance of Mrs. Carson, but fails to itemize each lost quality as to its separate cash value, placing 25,000 as the grand total for the lot. Hadley, he complains, some seven months after the wedding, contrived wil fully, wickedly, maliciously, unjustly and with distinct success to deprive the hus band of Mrs. Carson." The Omnibus vice president. In the language of the comT plaint, schemed, planned and undertook to "alienate the affections of plaintiff's said wife": wrote affectionate letters to Mrs. Carson, made protestations of love and practiced insidious wiles. All this oc curred at Los Angeles where the Carsons were residing, but it is alleged that Had ley induced Mrs. Carson to leave her huAand and come here, expenses being paid by the admiring Omnibus vice-president. Cost of a sumptuous home in Port land for Mrs. Carson proceeded from the same source, so the complaint recites. Coming to Portland in pursuit of the 1:5,000 worth of affection, Carson sets up that he was successful In prevailing upon Mrs. Carson to return to him. t She re sumed her post of marital duty July 24; but it was not to live happily together ever after that they were reunited. Mrs. Carson continued cold and distant She was at home In person but it was plain to be seen that the $25,000 affections were missing. December 2 she, too; departed. This desertion was superinduced by the wiles of the aforesaid Omnibus vice-president, it is alleged. It was followed by application for a divorce lately- filed in the Circuit Court. This application was made by Mrs. Carson and in response to the malicious suggestions of Hadley, eo the sorrowing husband complains. - In his recapitulation of losses, conclud ing the complaint, Carson presents the full sad picture of his woes in this lan guage: "That by reason of the premises pet out, defendant has wholly alienated the affections of plaintiff's said wife for plaintiff, and defendant has wholly de prived plaintiff of the fellowship, society, comfort and assistance of his said wife and plaintiff's home has been broken up and ruined and plaintiff had been brought Into dishonor and disgrace and has suf fered pain and injury to his feelings and mental anguish by reason of defendant's acts aforesaid, all to plaintiff's damage In the sum of $25,000. Wherefore plaintiff prays Judgment against defendant in the sum of $25,000 and for his costs and dis bursements herein." mall or from the office of Goldman.after It was delivered in Portland by the letter-carrier. Goldman's Indorsement was forged upon the .check, and It was left with the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank August 15 for collection. The check was then sent bv the Port- j land bank to the First National Bank l .Taurray city, and was paid on August 16 by a draft on Koonce Brothers, of New York. The draft was forwarded on Augnst 39 by the Portland bank to me Fourth " National Bank of New York, which gave credit in the amount of $163 25 to the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank. As this same amount of money is cred ited on the books of the defunct bank to H. Bauerman, and as this is the name given by the party presenting the check, it is the belief of Eennion that Bauerman is the thief. Bauerman has never cahed at the bank for his money. The plain tiff asks that the court issue an -osrier di recting the receiver to pay him tlm cash. mollis J. Wilde filed a petition asking that the receiver of the defunct bank be directed to pay him A which it is al leged has been wrongfully placed wun the funds of the bank. A bill of ex change for $400. it is alleeed. was pur chased from the Portland bank at 3:15 M. on August 20, on the Fort Dear born National Bank, Chicago. . Thiis bank refused payment when the bill of exchange was presented. As the money was deposited solely for the purpose of transmission, and accented after th usual banking hours, the petition asks that the money foe refunded. Q. v . Simpson's petition Is to obtain the money on a check for iSOO E. I Cooper & Co., on the Citizens Ban oi fortiana, and on a draft drawn by H. Waterholter for $76.69: alleging that on August 20. at the time these papers xumea over me pang officers knew it. to be Insolvent.

This will be the first meeting of the Council since the lifting of the bank holidays, and the session was necessitated because of the vast accumulation of business.

Xew Rjile in Equity Practice, if SALEM, Or., Dec. 18. (Special.) In his Opinion deciding the case of Sutherlin vs. Bloomer, In the supreme Court yesterday. Judge King laid down a rule of equity practice which will be of general Interest to the attorneys of the state. He beld that exceptions in trial of equity suits are unnecessary, and that a bill of exceptions In such cases must be treated as surplus age, and that a failure by the court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law In suits in equity, where all the rec ords and testimony are before the appel late court, is not reversible error. It was further held that parol testimony is not admissible to prove the consideration of a contract to be other than therein speci fied, where the consideration named in the Instrument is of a contractual nature.

Cleansing of Railway Trains and Pure Milk Supplies for Cities Are Principal Toilcs Discussed. Af the annual meeting of the State Board of Health, held at Salem Tuesday, the following officers were elected: Dr. Alfred Kinney, of Astoria, president; Dr. Andrew C. Smith, vice-president. Those present at the meeting were: Dr. Pickel, of Medford, the retiring president; Dr. W. B. Morse, of Salem, the retiring vice president; Dr. Alfred Kinney, of Astoria; Dr. E. A. Pierce, of Portland, and Dr. Y. C. Yenney, secretary. Reports were made by Dr. W. B. Morse and the secretary regarding the sanitary conditions of Salem and report by Dr. C. J. Smith and the secretary regarding the sanitary condition of Umatilla. The Secretary was directed to formu late a set of rules and regulations to be furnished the State Railroad Commission, defining -what in the opinion of the We Supply the City and Cpuntry Trade t ? V J ' J iBHlllBlttlli Dr. Alfred Kinney, of Astoria, Elect ed President of State Board of Health. . Fitted Suit Cases. Harris Trunk Co. Board constitutes proper disinfection, cleansing, etc., of railway passenger trains, and also what constitutes the proper care of waiting rooms, toilets, etc., at railroad stations. ' This has been a matter that has occupied considerable attention of the Board and It is believed that very beneficial results will arise from the fact that In nearly every sta Hon in Oregon at present where an agent Is maintained, adequate waiting room facilities are being secured. However, the board believes that a great deal of Improvement can take place in a great many places, and especially at Umatilla where conditions were found to be m03t unsanitary and where the waiting rooms were absolutely inadequate, no provision being made for separate waiting rooms for men and women. , The board appointed committees to visit the various public institutions throughout the state and make reports for the forth coming annual report of the board These Institutions include the peniten tiary, asylum and reform school at ..a lem, the University at Eugene, Agricul tural School at Corvallls, State Normal Schools at Weston and Ashland, and the Soldiers 'Home at Roseburg. The "question of securing a pure milk supply for the various cities throughout the State was taken up and discussed. There is no doubt in the opinion of the board but that very many dairies throughout the state, and especially In the vicinity of Portland, are improperly conducted so far as the possibility of se curing clean and pure milk is concerned. This is a matter that must of necessity come more and more under the jurisdic tion of the State Board of Health, and It was decided to take more active meas ures In the future regarding this very im portant industry. An effort will be made on the part of the board to secure from proper authorities full data regarding the sanitary conditions of all -dairies throughout the state. This will apply to the health of the herds, construction of stables, care of cows, water supply, e. The possible dangers of typhoid fever , and other contagious diseases arising from contaminated milk Is among the nu merous reasons that the board feels called upon to Insist upon thorough cfnnllnRR In riflirlpe The secretary reported that do far no cases of bubonic plague hal arisen any where in the state, and that measures that had been employed so far, espe cially In Portland, had prevented a spread of the Infection from neighbor ing cities. From the fact, however, that HEAVY MAIL FOR SANTA CL AUS Thia Is, the Season When Trusting Childhood Uses Postoffice to Make Wants Known. POSTMASTER MINTO has searched the City Directory over and can not find Santa Claus. He has mall carriers on his payroll who a, re wonders at delivering freakishly ad dressed letters, but they have 'been baffled in their efforts to locate that very elusive person called Santa Claus, and now because this much-sought-for party cannot be located, some 20 or SO letters written to him from. all parts of the state, especially from Portland, will not be delivered Every year when Christmas rolls around, the kiddles get busy and write to Santa Claus, telling him what 'they want htm to bring tnem for Christmas. Some say "please," and some say "bring me," some state their own wants and then add those of a baby brother or sister. It is all well enough to receive a bundle of Santa Claus letters and to know of the childish desires, but the real work Is attempting to pick out the onee that were written because there will be no Santa Claus for the tiny writer. Among the many letters re ceived by Postmaster Minto, there are - some that bear unmistakable signs of the work of an older' brain than that of the writer. These letters are usually correctly spelled and properly addressed, with the stamp nicely placed on the corner of the" envelope. How is the Postmas ter to tell whether a fond parent, de siring to know what the child wanted Santa Claus to bring, encouraged this means of finding out, or whether a poor mother, feeling there would be no Christmas for her child, unless Santa Claue, in the guise of some charitable organization, should happen around on Christmas, helped in the writing? The genuine kiddy letter, for the most part, can easily be picked out from the list. The tad that has written his or her letter to Santa Claus with out the aid of a grown-up, usually has dropped the letter Into the mail box without a stamp and with the address written on the envelope at. the very first place the childish hand happened to striKe tne paper. Of course, there is a heart story in the writing of all the Santa Claus let ters. There Is the letter that Is prop erly addressed, correctly stamped, with nothing Inside but a sheet of paper over which Is scrawled nothing but crooked lines that mean nothing but to the baby hand that scrawled them. Can you see the picture of the doting parent bending over the prattling babe as It writes the letter and the exchange of smiles when the task is done? Then there-Is the letter of the selfish child who wants everything In Toyland, and the letter from a youngster who tells of the death of either the father or the mother, who says he fears that there will be no Santa Claus at his home be cause they are too poor. Just what Postmaster Minto will do with theseMetters he does not know. If there Is any charitable organization In the city, or any charitably Inclined per son, who wants to inquire regarding the writers 6f some of the letters, Mr. Minto will gladly turn them over. The letters that - the Postmaster thinks Would be worth while looking Into are those from children who ask for shoes and clothing. He has one letter from a little mlae who wants Santa Claus to bring her a pair of shoes and gives the size as 3H, and another from a boy at Grants Pass who wants a pair of rub ber boots. Postmaster Minto Is not giving all his time to the Santa Claus letters. His busiest time is spent taking care of the colossal holiday trade that is being done at the Postoffice. Stamp business right now is on the boom, and for four days past the stamp sales have aver aged $2000 a day. In this department Mr. Minto has three lightning money changers In D. S. Duff, E. W. Godfrey and Miss Mary Kelley. It Is almost dazzling to see with what rapidity these three people can handle money. The sale of $2000 worth of stamps in small lots requires much money chang ing, and when It Is considered that each package must be weighed to ascertain the amount of money due for its mail ing, some Idea may be had of the necessity of accuracy and speed. c 0 v CQ CO C GO 4) 0 CQ O O O o o 100,000 Bottles of Sweet Wines Given Away " SPECIAL HOLIDAY GIFT From now until January 1st, 1908. we shall give away free to every purchaser of our famous brands of Whiskies, and whieh we are offering at the same prices as heretofore, as follows: With one gallon of our Jacob's Monogram Rye or Bourbon O.

Not only are seaport towns and those directly .n contact with ocean traffic exposed, but it has been found In other countries that the plague extends Inland, especially through river traffic, as far as Infected rats can be transported. For this rea son, all towns situated along the Colum bia and Willamette Rivers have been notified of the danger of plague and of the necessity of exterminating plague carriers. The Question of better sanitary condi tions in the hopyards and on fruit farms during the picking season was also taken up. It is undoubtedly true lhat a great number of cases of typhoid fever origi nate among those who annually visit hop yards during the picking season. This is due to the contamination either of the water or milk, or else to Incipient cases which are brought to the fields contami nating - others. A committee was r.p uointed to formulate e. set of rules" tna regulations suitable to remedy these conditions. RECORD PRICE FOR PEARS Medford Grower Sells Cornice fdr $9.80 a Box In New York.
