THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1909 ' - Tl S.- G. REED REPLIES TO EVERY CHARGE Asserts He Has Been Faithful as Administrator of H. W. Goode Estate. DETAILED ANSWER FILED In Suit Brought 1' Widow, Banker Peclares He Has Not Sacrificed or Neglected Valu able Property. Samuel G. Reed, whose removal as ad ministrator of the estate of H. W. Goode was asked early last Fall by the widow. Kdith F. Goode, f.lcd an answer to Mrs. Goode's complaint In the County Court yesterday in which he refutes the var ious charges made In the petition for re r.ioval. The answer was presented by Mr. Reed's attorneys, Malarkey & Gam mons, and gc-s lr.to detail as to his con nection with the estate up to this time. Date for hearing of the case has not yet been fixed. At till o:tFet, denial is made of the ci-arge that Mr. Heed, as administrator of the Goode estate, I.as even been un faithful to his trust or that he has not diligently performed all duties required of Mm in accordance with the law. The various allegations made by Mrs. Goode In her petition are then taken up one by one and gone into exhaustively. Explains Release of Options. As regards the charge that he failed properly to handle the options held by Mr. Goode on 13o0 shares of Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company common stock. Mr. Reed sets out at the time these options matured the stock was far be low the price of a share, which had been set. He accordingly, regarded it as a transaction greatly benefitting the estate when he succeeded' in having the contracts cancelled by J. and V. Solig man Company and E. V. Clark & Com pany. As to 500 shares of stock which Mr. Goode was to roc. ive July 1. KU7. for his services as head of the company. Irre spective of his salary, it is pointed out that the agreement relating to this Mock was that he got It only in the event of being with the company when the stock became transferable to his account. His death several months be fore that I. me invalidated the agreement, it is pointed out Hence, the adminis trator is unable to secure any such stock. It is admitted that these contracts were not inventoried or reported on. but It Is set up that Mrs. Goode consented to the disposition made of the 1.X shares and It is denied that she ever applied for an accounting. Stock Deposited on Debt. As regard the Gobde indebtedness of Vj.m with the United States National Rank for which the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company stock was de posited as collateral, Mr. Reed sets out that the collateral was turned over to him by the bank In order that he might realize a, sum sufficient to meet the ob ligation. He was to hold it subject to demand by the hank. After he had found it was not possible to dispose of the stock to advantage, he returned it to the bank, at the demand of the bank. With reference to the charge that dili gence was not used In the matter of .hav ing an inheritance tax fixed, the answer maintains that a petition to the County Court to have the tax fixed was duly presented and that the amounts named In the petition were true and not based on any purpose of having a larger inheri tance tax llxed than necessary. As to the efnrgo that lie would not pay a small outstanding note fdr $2000 Held by the Bank of Oregon City. Mr. ltee.1. sa-3 that Inasmuch as there was a note for J75.000 held by the United states National Bank, a note for an other 75.0O due the First National Hank, and something like JIR.0U0 due Chnrk-s Pratt & Company of New York, the Oregon City Rank's claim had to be paid pro rata, according to the Indebt edness of the Goode estate to each of the creditors named. He denies having any authority to pay the whole of the claim at Oregon City or any part of the claim other than a pro rata share. Auto Was Badly Damaged. As regards the allegation of Mrs. Goode that Mr. Goode's big touring car was sacrificed by the administrator, Mr. Reed avers that the car was operated by unskilled persons after Mr. Goode's death, and that as a result of Mrs. Iloode'-s failure to take proper care of the machine it was Imdly damaged. The sum of $ir75 was the largest sum ho "could get for tiie machine, tha answer says. And before that could be had the sum of $76 had to be siient on re pairs. Referring to the sale of S5 shares of stock in the Sunset Real Estate Com pany. Mr. Reed denies that these shares were sold at a disadvantage. He sets up that the stock was heavily encum bered with mortgages and that the in come from the property was insuffi cient to pay the interest on the mort gages. In selling it, with the full con sent of petitioner, Mr. Reed saya the sum of $4500 was cleared above ".he amount paid by Mr. Goode for tha stock. Admits Opening Private Vault. In explanation of the fact that Mr. Goode's private vault was opened and examined immediately after his death, the answer shows that this was done iiy Frederick V. Holman nnd Mr. Iteed in the presence of witnesses and cn a telegraphic request from personal friends of Mr. Goode's at Atlantic City, 5. J . where he died. This ivas done in order to ascertain if any provision had been made in his will as to the disposition of his body in event cf death, and also If there were interests of the widow and children whicn might suffer from delay. All papers and documents and articles were immedi ately returned whero found, after an inventory was made, it is shown. De nial is made by Mr. Reed that he ever refused to give Mrs. Goode information concerning the contents of the vault and safety deposit boxes. Concerning his long absence In New York and Massachusetts, Mr. Iteed says he was away on business relatfng to the estate. In conclusion the answer sets out that the interests of the estate are being fully safeguarded to the best interests of Mrs. Goode and her two children. Edith Goode and Henry F. Goode, As to resigning as administrat or he says he offered to withdraw, pro vided a satisfactory settlement .-f all matters concerning his administration of the estate could be effected.

I married one of them. The most interesting class of boys I ever had was picked up on the street. I organized this class of 17 toys lnt the Get Knowledge flub. Turn were brothers of a saloon keeper in the town . When I announced that one of them would sing a solo, the saloonkeeper and his brother closed the saloon for the night and brought their aced mother to church In an arm chair." Mr. Phipps said last night that class organization solves the big boy and. girl problem. "The organized classes of men and women are the magnets that will attract the boys and girls." said Mr. Phipps. Rrv J. T. Ahbett, speaking on "Evange lism. How Often Should I Urge De cisions on My Class?" said teachers should work with class members as in dividuals.

MDDELL PUTS OUT WAY OUTLIVES PROGRESS LTO THE SPIRTUAL KIXGDOM. Repentance, Faith and Baptism the Three Steps, Declares Lecturer at White Temple. Every seat in the White Temple was fllled again last night to hear Dr. N. N. Riddcll lecture on "From Adam to Christ." Robert Livingston acted as chairman and presided over the round table. The lecturer gave the definite steps and psychological changes necessary in mak ing the transition from the natural to the spiritual man. The speaker spoke in part as follows: There are thres distinct steps Into the spiritual kingdom. Flrut, repei.tance ; whole hearted sorrow fur sin with the resolve that you will not do so any mure. If you have thoroughly repented you will square up. If vou have beaten a man out of $5 you will go and pay it back. Next after you have squared up with men you mast square up with God. Tou have baten him cut of your life. Tn make restitution you must render a life of service. Second, believe tn the Lord Jesus Christ as "the way." the truth and the life that is to come in and make your sin-sick soul whole. He Is "the truth" o; ihe incarnation of God. He is "the life" the divine life whifh is to sui.plojnent the human by sub stituting his fur yours, thereby transform ing you and making you one with the father. Why must you do this? Because you per sonally cannot evolve yourself Into a spirit ual being. If Jesus I'hrist has healed vnu of all sin. you will love everybody, you will hold malice to none. If you love Christ on one side and have gru-lse in your heart niralnst your neighbor on the other side you are not completely regenerated, and I do not care how high, up you n.ay be in the church. . , The third step of Inltatien Into the spirit ual kingdom Is baptism. We often produce a purely psychic and spiritual condition by a purely physical means. Water baptism is Ond's method whereby you express your surrender of yourself to Qod. From that hour en you will forever turn your back upon nil that Is sinful and waik as tha ciilM cf God. Tonight Mr. Ridtlell will speak on "God, Faith and Prayer." NEW RECTOR HAS COME Rev.

MARRIED LESS THAN YEAR Woman, De-inondeht and Nearly Blind, Leaves Patlietic Letter After Receiving One From Husband la Farewell. Heartbroken because she had been de serted by her husband, Henry Peterson, a veteran soldier of the Civil War, and despondent because she was going blind, Mrs. Emma Peterson committed suicide yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock by hanging herself with a piece of clothes line to a doorpost in her home near Car son Heights. Her body was found a few moments later by Mrs". George Wey, one of her neighbors, who, aware of the woman's despondent condition, had come over to the Peterson house to console her friend. A short time before her tragic ' end Mrs. Peterson had been seen out in the yard in the rear of her house. She took down a piece of the clothesline and, pick ing up a nail keg. went into the house. She fastened one end of the line on the doorknob, slipped the other over the up per hinge of the door and, fastening the other around her neck, kicked the nail keg from under her. Before Mrs. Peterson committed the deed she took a little jewelry she pos sessed and. puttfng it in a small box, placed it on top of the following letter which sho wrote to her sister, Mrs. E. W. Eldridge. route 2, box 40, Lents, Or.: "My Dear Sister I will write you a few sad lines. From what I can see and' hear he has left me for good and it is more than I can bear. I think the best thing I caa do is to end it all. Every thing about the house mocks me. I want you and your children to have what I have. If I could have my eyesight it would be different but as it is I can't be consoled, so good-bye for we shall never meet again." Coroner Norden was notified, and dur ing the afternoon Deputy Coroner Dun ning went out to the scene of the tragedy and brought the woman's body to the undertaking establishment of Dunning, McEntee & Gilbaugh. Mrs. Peterson was over 50 years old and her husband had parsed his 60th birthday. They had been married less than a year. Mr3. Peterson came from Iowa and her husband, who always had evidenced a roving disposition, had been traveling about the country for a num ber of years. He draws a pension from the Government for injuries received In the Civil War. Neither had been married before, and, although the heads of both were silver streaked, it was the one romance of their lives. They were married in Iowa and came to Portland, where they bought sev eral lots beyond Carson Heights, near the Multnomah, station on the Salem Electric line, and built a four-room house. Apparently their lives had been happy until the sudden desertion. Mrs. Peterson, who had been troubled with approaching blindness, went to visit her sister, Mrs. Eldridge. last Thursday. During her ab sence the wanderlust, which is said al ways to have characterized her husband, came over him. and he left home. He sent her the following letter: "Dear Wife I will not be over on Sun day. I am going away, so good-by. We may never meet again. God bless you."

' , The British ship Inverness-shire, which has been on the disengaged llFt on Puget Sound for eight months, has been fixed for outward loading at either Seattle or Tacoma. The upward tendency of the grain market has spurred some of the ex porters to action. The Inverness-shire Is the first spot ship to be taken for North western loading since the French bark Desalx was fixed two weeks ago for Port land loading. The February fleet from Portland will he short. The month will wind up with the clearance of the La Tour d'Auvergne and the Desaix. The French bark Mlchelet has been chartered to load pig iron and bricks at a port in Scotland for Puget Sound. This is the first fixture for Inward cargo for several days. The placing of the French craft on berth, however, will probably mark the beginning of a number of char ters at the other end. The vessels placed on berth in March will be due off the Columbia River or the Straits the latter part of August and will be available for new crop grain. Xotico to Mariners.

Thousands of women have written the story of their suffering and have told how they were freed from it by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for thirty years these reports have been published all over America. Without great merit this medicine could never have gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills never could have become known and prized in nearly every country in the world. Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that which will restore her health? If you believe those who have tried it you know this medicine does cure. Read this letter from a grateful woman, then make up your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to cure you. Brooklyn, If. Y. "I am a firm believer in Lyrtla E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. I was a prreat sufferer f rora organic female troubles for years, and almost despaired of ever beiriff Well asrain. I bad bearing-down pains, backache, headache and pains in my abdomen, and tried Mrs. Pinkham's Compound as a last resort. The result was astonishing, and I have used it and advocated it ever since. It is a great boon to expectant mothers. I have often said that I should like to have its merits thrown on the sky with a search-light so that women would read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their sufferings. " My husband joins me in its praise. He has used it for Kidney trouble and been entirely cured." Mrs. E. A. Bishop, 19lo Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. For 30 vears L,ydia E. Pinkham's egetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine.
