City. Colo., where he was employed, sne
went to visit her mother in Salt Lake
City. A short time afterward he passed
- through Utah, and said he was going to
rv..,. Ainka in the Tanana
district. That was in June, 1900, and for
seven long years. Mrs. Sargent said, sne
did not see her husband. He left her $25
with which to provide herself with the
necessaries of life in me meantime, duo
said she sold their home, obtaining $260
after the bills were paid.
She said he was in Portland last year,
but refused to visit her. She said, how
ever, that he afterward telegraphed for
her to meet him in Seattle, which she
did. He then gave her $200, and took an
Alaska-bound steamer.
Mrs. Sargent said that she started a
suit last year in Oregon City. That was
dismissed, she testified, because Sargent
had an article published in an Oregon
City paper to the effect that she was
afraid to obtain a divorce In her own
county and so had brought the suit in
a small town. She then instituted the
suit here. They were married at Du
rango. Colo.. February 25. 1892.
Says Husband Beat Her.
Lizzie B. Carson obtained a divorce
from Joseph G. Carson on the ground of
cruelty. They had been married only five
months, she said, when her husband
knocked her down by a blow on her head
with his fist. For a time she was uncon
scious. She said that when she slightly
recovered and attempted to escape, he
felled her with another blow, so that she
wont into hysterics, and had nervous
chills. These cruelties, she said, were
heaped upon her, in April. 1907, when
they were living at Los Angeles. May
10, she said, he knocked her down twice.
They were married at San Francisco De
cember 28. 1906.
Carson did not appear to contest his
wife's suit. He intends to fight the mat
ter in another way. He has filed a dam
age suit in, the Circuit Court to recover
$25,000 from Leroy H. C. Hadley for
alienating his wife's affections. Carson
alleges that It ws with Hadley's money
that his wife came to Portland in May,
190". when she alleges he gave her a
drubbing. She brought with her all the
household effects of the family. Two
months later, Carson says, he came to
Portland and succeeded in persuading his
wife to return to him. He says that
Hadley then renewed his attentions, and
that in the following December Mrs. Car
son abandoned her home for the second
time, and refuses to return.
That the drunken abuse heaped upon
Kllzabeth M. Breen by Walter F. Breen
would last from the time he came home
at night until morning, keeping lodgers
at the rooming-house of Mrs. L. Puter
awake, was the statement made in court
yesterday. The couple were miyried
September 23, 1903. at Seattle, Wash.
The decree was granted- and Mrs. Breen

Bcllwood.

HERS WAS A USEFUL LIFE
Mrs. Jlary It. Kenworthy Was Phi
lanthropist and Scholar.
The gunoral of Mrs. Mary I Kenwor
thy. a well-known woman philanthropist
and poet, who died yesterday night, was
held yesterday afternoon in Centenary
Methodist Church, and the interment was
In Lone Fir Cemetery by the grave of her
husband. John L. Kenworthy. who died
several years ago. Rev. Clarence True
Wilson, assisted by Rev. W. H. Hollings
head. conducted the services. There was
an outpouring of friends. Floral tributes
almost 'buried the altar platform in
bloom. - All the ladies' societies of Cen
tenary Church were represented at, the
services, for Mrs. Kenworthy had been
m active member of this church for S3
years. Dr. Wilson In his sermon said
that rarely was there combined in one
person so many qualities that made up a
useful and helpful member, of the com
munity. Born in Knoxberg, N. Y., July
31. 1833, when 14 years of age she was
converted, and thereafter devoted her
life to the cause of Christianity. She be
came a, teacher In an Insane asylum.
Coming to Portland in 1874, she was mar-("-"d
to John Kenworthy in 1S75,. and both
became pillars of the church and prom
inent In all lines of philanthropic work
in East Portland. Dr. Wilson spoke of
her high talents, and declared that she
had been -a poet of excellent quality,
might have achieved high honor as an
author. .Such writing as she left behind
was evidence of her talent. At the close
of Dr. Wilson's address Dr. Hollingshead
delivered an earnest prayer, when the
Interment took place. J. D. Lee, John
L. Wells, George F. Bodman, William
Schmeer, N. Kennedy and J. C. Roberts
were the pall bearers.
Mrs. Kenworthy is survived by an only
daughter. Miss Maude Kenworthl. a
teacher in the public schools. The funeral
services adhered closely to the wishes
of Mrs. Kenworthy. To the community
her death comes almost as a personal
loss, especially to all old residents and
to young people who have grown up on
the East Side during the past 25 years.
Having been active in all lines of phil
anthropic work, even with the approach
of death .she could not break away from
the impulses of her heart to do for others
and for the good of the community.
She was highly educated and an accom
plished writer. In the many poems she
wrote is the evidence of the divine spark
of true genius. Few of her poems were
published, but those which were printed
always commanded attention for simplic
ity and beauty of thought. Whether a
collection of her writings will he printed
In permanent form remains for the future
to determine.
ORPHEUM SHOWS TO COME
MARQUAM GRAND LEASED FOR
TEN YEARS.
High Price Is raid for Local Theater
and Portland Will Have Best
Vaudeville Attractions. -
Negotiations were completed yesterday
by which the Orpheum vaudeville mag
nates secure the Marquam Grand Thea
ter for their attractions, beginning about
September 1. Through S. Morton Cohn.
general manager of the Imperial Amuse
ment Company, owners of the Marquam,
John Consldine, of Considine & Sullivan,
and M. Meyerfleld, Jr.. a ten-year lease
was negotiated for the Marquam Grand.
The exact consideration is not announced,
but it is known to be one of the highest
priced leases negotiated here In years.
There were several bidders for the prop
erty and the price paid by the Orpheum
representatives must have been some
thing handsome.
This particular deal has been pending
for several months, although it has
seemed that it would be impossible for
the parties in Interest to get together.
When Mr. Cohn went to New York a
short time ago he held conferences with
representatives of the great vaudeville
syndicate, but nothing definite was set
tled. Several overtures have been made
the Imperial Amusement Company by
local theatrical people, some of them rep
resenting the Orpheum people, and the
public has done a great deal of guessing
as to the future of the famous old
theater. Not until yesterday, however,
when Mr. Meyerfleld. president of the
Orpheum Company, A. Abrahams, vice
president of the big vaudeville syndicate,
with John Consldine, of Sullivan & Con
sldine. arrived in the city and proceeded
to make terms with the Imperial Amuse
ment Company through Mr. Cohn was
the deal finally consummated.
Mr. Meyerfield stated yesterday that
the theater will be thoroughly renovated
and refurnished after the Pantages
management gives It up late in August.
This will postpone the formal opening
until early In September. New scenery.
carpets and decorations will be added
and the theater will present a very hand
some appearance when the Orpheum
opens. The name of the theater will not
be changed, the form of the announce
ments being "Orpheum vaudeville at the
Marquam Grand." While no announce
ment is made as to who will be resident
manager of the new enterprise, Mr.
Meyerfield intimated that it will be In
charge of James H. Errickson. who now
represents Sullivan & Considine as man
ager of the Grand and Star. The lease
will be held, it is understood, by Sullivan
& Considine, who will co-operate with the
Orpheum Company on a percentage basis.
Portland will see the very best vaude
ville attractions in America when our
season opens.", said Mr. Meyerfield yes
terday, "the same acts that are pre
sented in New York and other leading
cities. The salary lists of these per
formances will average about $3000 per
week, but we believe that Portland is
big enough and prosperous enough to
support such attractions as do Kansas
City, Denver. Los Angeles, San Francisco
and other cities where we have become
thoroughly established. Having secured
a Portland opening, we will now extend
our circuit to Seattle, Spokane and Butte.
Martin Beck, our general manager. Is
now In Europe engaging acts for next
season, all of which will be seen here."
Messrs. Meyerfleld, Abrahams and Con
sidine left last night for Seattle, after
completing the final details.
ENTERPRISE A PUBLIC ONE
Mr, Duchaiv.p Thought License l"n
necessnry on Council Crest.
PORTLAND. June 19. (To the Ed
itor.) Referring to an article published
in this morning's Oregonian. stating
that I was arrested for operating a
concession upon Council Crest without a
city license. I would request, in justice
to myself that the following statement
be made public:
I am not running a shooting gallery
on Council Crest, or any other game
thereon, although I have an ownership
interest In some of the concessions.
Council Crest is under lease to me and
it has been my policy to maintain and
operate this property as a free scenic
park, to which the people of this city,
as well as the thousands of strangers,
who visit same, are admitted witliput
charge: consequently the revenue to
maintain this attraction must be derived
from concessions within the grounds. The
short season of suitable weather is such
that but a small margin of profit, at
best, can he expected from this enter
prise, in its present state of develop
ment. It is worthy of and should re
solve the support of the people of this
city, as it affords, owing to Its nature,
a splendid advertisement of the mag
nificent surrounding country.
The reason that a license had not been
secured for the concessions In the park
was because I was acting under advice
that In all probability none would bo
required by the authorities, owing to
the public reasons stated, and the fact
that Council Crest is practically outside
the city limits.

Ex-Soldiers Accuse Captain
Quartermaster of Trans
port Sherman.
MANY REFUSED QUARTERS
Berths Unoccupied, but Veterans Say
They Were Obliged to Sleep in
Hold or on Deck Accommo
dations for Outsiders.
Thoroughly vexed and indignant, a
number of ex-soldiers and others who
crossed the Pacific on the United States
transport Sherman are preparing a
formal complaint against Captain
Babcock, captain-quartermaster and
commissary officer of the vessel. The
Sherman arrived off the mouth of the
Columbia Sunday and many soldiers
and civilians who have been coming to
Portland eince that time are vehement
in their denunciation of the treatment
they received at the hands of the of
ficer. : It is charged, among other things,
that although the Sherman Is a trans
port and as such obliged to provide
transportation for soldiers and ex
soldiers properly discharged, many of
them were refused quarters, while
others who had no connection with the
service were given accommodations.
Three chorus girls from a beer garden
In Manila, it is charged, were among
those provided first-class accommoda
tions, while soldiers who had seen 30
years of service in behalf of their
country were refused berths.
Another specific charge against Cap
tain Babcock Is that he ordered all en
listed men out of the cabin after they
had been called there on Sunday for
religious services. The trumpeter had
sounded call for devotional exercises
on the Sunday before the arrival of
the vessel in Astoria and the men had
assembled in the cabin, where the
chaplain had called them, it is said.
They were ordered out of the cabin
upon the deck.
"If I desire to hold religious serv
ices." Captain Babcock is reported to
have told the men In ordering them
out, "I will have them on the fore
castle or some other place where en
listed men are entitled to go."
The Sherman had on board the First
Infantry, bound from the Islands to
Vancouver Barracks. The troops left
New York two years ago and have
served continuously In the Philippines
since that time. They will be sta
tioned at Vancouver until orders for
their further disposition are received.
Smallpox on the Sherman.
The Sherman left Manila May 28. She
was out four days before It was discover
ed that a case of black smallpox had de
veloped. The victim was an enlisted man
in the marine corps who had been hon
orably discharged and with his comrades
was returning home. Next day every
passenger on the ship was vaccinated.
The marine died May 30. and vaccina
tions among the other passengers were
then frequent. It was 14 days before
the second case appeared. The second
case has not proved fatal, and physicians
have not stated positively that it is small
pox. On the arrival of the Sherman at As
toria those of the passengers who showed
two marks of successful and recent vac
cination were permitted to depart. Many
came to Portland, and among the num
ber was Robert Marshall, an honorably
discharged soldier, who. for several years
had been In service In the postal serv
ice in the Islands. He enlisted as a mem
ber of the signal corps and was for years
prior to enlisting an employe of the Pos
tal Telegraph Company.
"The treatment of the old soldiers, and,
indeed, many of the men still in the serv
ice, was shameful." said Mr. Marshall.
"A formal complaint was drawn up while
we were on the vessel, and it will be pre
sented to the proper officials in Washing
ton. We won't openly accuse Captain
Babcock of graft, for we don't care to go
into details, but we will merely present
the facts, and the department can do
whatever Is right. 1
"When we boarded the Sherman at
Manila we were told that there was no
room on board the vessel, though as a
government transport the Sherman should
have bad accommodations for soldiers and
those of us who had the proper dis
charge papers. From Manila to Naga
saki not a soldier nor an ex-soldier was
permitted to sleep in a berth. We all
had to sleep In the hold or on the deck.
At that time there were at least 12 vacant
berths, and there were many passengers
on board who had no right to accommo

dations when the soldiers were refused
them.
Accommodations for Interlopers.
"For instance, there was a whisky
drummer who had never seen service,
but he had the best accommodations
there were on the ship. Then there
were three sisters, chorus girls from a
beer garden In Manila, who also had
the best kind of accommodations. They
were not even American citizens and
had never been in America. They were
born in Australia and their father was
a prize-fighter, buc accommodations
were arranged for them before the ship
left Manila, and we were told the trans
port could give us no accommodations.
"After we passed Nagasaki there was
such a 'holler' that Captain Babcock
found accommodations for some of the
men. Many of us agreed to pay him,
but he made us sleep In the hold or on
deck.
"On the Sunday before we arrived off
the mouth of the Columbia, the trum
peter, according to orders, called for re
ligious or church exercises. The men
followed the others who were going to
attend and went into the cabin where
they were to have been held. Captain
Babcock Immediately ordered all the
enlisted men out. He told them that if
he desired to have religious services for
them he would hold them on deck, or
somewhere else, so that they could at
tend." Mr. Marshall was located In the city
of Batangas, Province of Batangas. It
was there that three natives murdered
an American school-mistress in the
hope of robbing her, three months ago.
The men were executed. Natives In
that province are difficult to control,
according to Mr. Marshall.
"They are fierce and cruel," Tie said.
"A few weeks before I left I was at
tracted to a small crowd that had col
lected on the street. I went over and
found that they were having great
sport with a dog. They had the dog
tied up with a rope Rround his neck so
that his feet barely touched the ground
and were pouring water down his nose.
They seemed to think it was great fun.
They actually seemed to want to fight
when I stopped them."
Vaccinated 33 Times.
Other passengers on the Sherman were
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Miller, of Manila.
Mr. Miller Is connected with the Gov
ernment postal bank in that city. Postal
banks in the islands have been In opera
tion under the supervision of the United
States Government for two years and, ac
cording to Mr. Miller, are operating very
successfully.
"We have been in the islands for five
years," said Mr. Miller, "and I have
been vaccinated 33 times In that period.
We were vaccinated five times on our
voyage on the Sherman. We left Manila
May 14, and were out till the 28th before
we discovered a case of black smallpox.
Black smallpox, by the way, is regarded
as the most fatal.
"One of the men died a few days later,
and 14 days after that another man be
came ill. It was suspected to be a case
of smallpox, though the surgeons never
positively pronounced it such."

WIFE IS LEFT TO SUFFER
Trial of Cole Woman Airs Draz'
Domestic Trouble.
An unusual story was revealed in the
Police Court yesterday morning, during
the hearing of a woman, known as Trixy
Cole, who was arrested Thursday after
noon by Patrolman Harms in a saloon
conducted, by A. L. Draz. at Seventh and
Burnsido streets. According to the testi
mony the woman who has been allowed
to go in want and suffer privations was
not the defendant, but Mrs. A. Li. Draz.
wife of the saloonkeeper In whose sa
loon the Cole woman was arrested. It
was alleged that through Draz' devotion
to the Cole woman his wife, who is now
in St. Paul, has been compelled to go
in want.
Shortly before the arrest of the Cole
woman Mrs. MeGalliard. proprietress of
the Hotel Richelieu, with her husband,
had visited the saloon for .the purpose,
she declared, of attempting to effect a
reconciliation between Draz and his wife.
Mrs. MeGalliard states that she informe".
the saloonkeeper that his wife was in
trouble and had written her imploring
that aid be extended, so that she could
come to the Coast. The letter was only
one of many received by Mrs. MeGal
liard during the last few weeks and she
begged the saloonkeeper, so she says, to
come to her house and read the ietter.
She saw the Cole woman in the saloon
at the time, it is stated, but did not
recognize her. as it was dark. Mrs.
MeGalliard and her husband then left the
saloon and soon Patrolman Harms en
tered the place and. seeing the Cole
woman making a disturbance, arrested
her. In order to got at the bottom of
the affair. Judge Cameron continued the
case over to Monday.
