THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, APRFL 3, 1909 11 T 1 1 N V FAMILY T ROW PUTS HOSPITAL Jesse Moore and Mother-in-Law, Who Shot Him, Are Under Doctor's Care. TELL DIFFERENT STORIES Bibulous Husband and Belligerent Relative Each Blames Other for Trouble Which Ended Disas trously to Both Parties. Separated by only a few city blocks and by an antipathy that la Immeasur able, Jesse C. Moore Is lying: In a private room In the Good Bamarltan Hospital, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Amelia Wood, Is resting on & cot at St. "Vincents'. Both show outward results of the en counter in the Gladys apartments Thurs day night, when Mrs. Wood shot her son-in-law in the back and was herself badly bruised by the young man. Moore, whose condition It was thouKht might be serious, is now expected to re cover. The bullet Is apparently lodged In the muscles of the back, but has not yet been located. Mrs. Wood's principal Injuries consist of a bruised body, a dis colored eye and a black and blue fore arm. A surgeon's bandage is over her right elbow, on which the skin was broken in the encounter. Aside from his wound, Moore has a swollen face, which he claims was given him by his wife before the shooting. Mrs. Moore, a slight, pretty blonde young wo man, was able to be out yesterday and showed no outward effects of the trouble that almost cost her husband's life. Motlier-in-Law Talks. Mrs. Wood was able to see visitors yes terday and was found at the hospital talking to her daughter. Mrs. Moore, and a friend, Mrs. J. S. Fisher, of 389 Han cock street. "Why don't you talk to him?" demand ed Mrs. Moore, when her mother was asked for a statement of the shooting. "Find out what kind of women have been calling on him all day at the other hos pital," she suggested. "Now. you keep still, Elsie," Interrupt ed her Injured mother. "You had better not say anything." "Mr. Moore has - been abusing my daughter for a long time," said Mrs. Wood. "He would have other women come to the store to see him and go out utomoblling with them and then come home drunk and abuse his wife. Oh. he's a sport! "He put me out of the house a short time ago because I found him back of the counter in his store with another woman." "Yes, she had to come and stay with me a while." said Mrs. Fisher. "And Mrs. Wood's a good, kind woman, too." "I.ast night Mr. Moore came home drunk," continued the mother-in-law. "I heard my daughter scream and went Into their room and turned on the light. 1 said. 'Why, what are you doing Jess? and he turned on me and knocked me down. My daughter ran into another apartment and he ran after her. He caught her and tried to drag her back into their own room, but the spring look on the door had caught and he couldn't get in. He said he would wipe out the whole family. He had my daughter Jammed against the door-post, and I was afraid he would kill her. So I shot him. He was not hurt so bad but that he turned on me and knocked me down again ana beat me until I sclous. gray, and all have the outward appear ances of refinement. Moore has studied medicine, and It was hile engaged in his studies at Alton, 111., that he met Mrs. Moore, and mar ried her seven years ago. He has worked in several down-town drug stores and June 1 of last year opened a store of his own at 242 Alder street. They have one child, a boy nearly 5 years old. who yesterday was put In the custody of the Juvenile Court. Mrs. Moore was permitted to take the child during the afternoon, but was required to report in court - with him at 3:20 o'clock. Mrs. Wood Is a widow, and came here fo Join her daughter from Chicago three years ago. The family lived in the Gladys Court, off Third street, between Mill and Montgomery. Mr. Moore has been placed under ar rest and his bond fixed at 310,000, but In the event bail is not furnished he will not be removed from the hospital until the physicians In charge say that his oonaiuon wiii permit. Mrs. Moore was given the temuorarr custody of her four-year-old son Alton by Juvenile Judge Gantenbein yesterday morning, but an Injunction restraining her from removing the child from the state hangs over her head. Attorney John Manning, representing the father, asked that the hearing regarding the custody of the child be postponed until i-uesaay at 3:30 P. M-. which was dona. Deputy District Attorney Mosesshon vis ited Judge Gantenbein with the mother yesterday, and asked that the boy be removed from the hospital, where he was taken with the father In the ambulance lnursaay night. A charge of assault with intent to kill will probably be placed against the fath er should he recover from his wound. tnouia the charge be brought, it would necessitate action on the part of the Anril Grand Jury, which will be drawn in the circuit Court next Monday morning.

Follower of Old Omar Plans to Cross Continent in Light Canoe Albert Chalivat, Trench Trapper, Maps Out Dangerous Trip From Ocean to Ocean in Frail Craft. Tra: On a iRAPPER. hunter and student of Omar Khayyam, Albert Chalivat, young French guide, tramped 30 miles to get a train to Portland that he might celebrate the birthday of Edward Fitzgerald, translator of the Rubaiyat. "The Rubaiyat is some people's bible," said Chalivat. "Omar knew the science of living. He lived for himself, as I do. Therefore Omar Khayyam supplies for me my bible." Intrepidity and egoism are the two strongest features in Chalivat's char acter. He admits the Intrepidity, but denies being an egoist. "Why am I an egoist?" he says. "I know what I can do, and I do it. If something comes I cannot do I work until I have really done it. I do not try. I have no use for the man who simply tries. A man should not try, he should do." Chalivat this Summer proposes a mild little trip by canoe from the wa ters of the Facihc to the distant At lantic Ocean. He says lie will accom plish it. Leaving Portland, he will travel up the Columbia as far as it can be navigated by a canoe. From that point he will carry his craft nine miles over Griscom Portage to the main fork of the Fraser River; leav ing the main fork for the north fork' of the Fraser. carrying to the Pars nip, then into the Peace, carrying into the Great Slave River, thence into Athabasca lAke. He will make a series of portages, and the Great Slave Lake will be reached for the Wtnter and from the lake there are many routes to Hudson Bay. "When," said Chalivat, "I walk n.to one of the forts, they will ask me from where I come. 'From the waters of the Pacific,' I will say." "Danger? What do I care for dan ger? Do you not take a risk when you paddle 20 miles up the Willamette? Perhaps you get upset once? Perhaps I will be upset many times. But. dan ger? What is danger when one is fulfilling the destiny of a lifetime?" "I want to make the trip with three men. If I can't get three men I will go with one. If I can't get one, I will go alone, but if I go alone ray method of going will have to be changed a lit tle. I should like best to have one friend to go with me. If I get one, I do not want one who will say he'll do his best or he'll try, but one who will say, "We'll do it.' Bullbeadedness and endurance have got wisdom skinned to a fraszle." Chalivat ruminated and flicked the ash of his cigarette. "Go alone? Well, if I do. I shan't try to canoe up the Columbia, but I'll take my salt and a pistol and hike for the east side of the Rockies. There I'll find toiiit blrohea and build a 12 foot canoe, on the same lines aa a fac- r. . . . . . ............. ...... . "vV ., J I X - Sir 1 : r it I x 1 it the hardships of the trip," Interrupted Lowdermilk. "Perhaps I will go, but I don't think I want to now." Then Chalivat began to talk of his reasons for taking the trip. "Soon the railroad will be through Central Oregon, bringing grain to Portland and carrying out tourists. T am not happy unless I am 300 miles from a railroad. In the whole trip I don't have to cross a railroad or go nearer than 200 miles to one. When I made a tour through British Columbia I was lost once for five weeks, besides having no idea of what month it was. The fact that I had to cross a rail road spoiled the whole trip. "There will be no money or glory in it. I shall have accomplished the purpose of my life. My purpose in life is to please myself. "My friend, F. V. Holman. says I am wrong In some things. I am going to prove to him that I am right. He says Griscom Portage is only a few hundred yards. I know better, and I will prove it to him." C. E. S. Wood is another believer In the wild that Chalivat says he num bers among his friends. "Like Mr. Wood, when I am away in the woods they call me atheistic, pantheistic, so cialistic and anything else they can think of. Should I choose to naint. they say I should fish; if I fish, then I should trap; but instead parbleau! I please myself. I .care not for others. "When I go away I hate to leave my friends. My friends are those with hom I don't disagree. I do not dis agree with them because they agree with themselves." Chalivat laughed. His bearded face set beneath the tan. "I am the great est man In the world. Perhaps not to you. out to mysen. All knowledge in the world Is mine if I choose to have it. Nobody has knowledge that is any use to me. Edison, you say, illu minated the electric lamp; that was his knowledge. I need not use it unless I like. If I do like, then it is my knowledge." Chalivat stopped to talk of old Omar Khayyam. Backwards and forward he appeared to know the Rubaiyat as lew men can know it. Part of hi creed, it had so entered Into his life tnat it ruled his existence. Out of his whole-souled admiration for Fitz gerald ana nis translation he came to Portland Just to celebrate with wine and laughter the memory of the apos tie of good living. DRAW COURTHOUSE PLANS December. 1901, and November, 1307, have been ordered by Collector Loeb, of the port of New York. Mr. Loeb ordered the reconsideration of the duty on sugar assessments. Ex-United States Attorney Stimeon and Assistant District Attorney Denison. who prosecuted the previous cases, have been retained by the Department of Justice as special counsel to carry on further litiga- xion. Acting upon evidence which thev laid before him. Collector Loeb ordered the reilquldatlon of the duties and the in crease of Jl. 239,000 in assessments. Of this amount about 1100,000 has been naid to the Government. In addition to the assessment of Jl.239,000 the Government claims it has been defrauded out of about $500,000 in duties on sugar weighed at the refinery of Havemeyer & Elder, in Brooklyn, and also of J500.000 in duties on sugar weighed at the Jersey City re finery prior to 1901. It was announced today that legal steps were now being Albert Chalivat, Who I-lana to Cr Continent In Canoe. tory-made canvas canoe, nslna- n hirch Instead of canvas. "Then it will be easy, very few rap ids, Just traveling, hunting and living. And all I will need is the pistol and some ammunition and salt. A man can starve with a heavy game rifle, and live gloriously with the aid of a little pistol slipped into his pocket. My friend, A. W. Lowdermilk. has made a game holster, which is just the thing. Mr. Lowdermilk thought of the trip at the same time as I did." "But I am a little older, and I see Tesigns for New Building Ready In Two Weeks. The plans for the new Multnomah County Courthouse will be complete In about two weeks, according to Commis sioner Lightner. Some alterations have been made In order to Increase the floor space. The present plan is to have the ceiling of the courtrooms 24 feet high. The offices, which are to be on the same floor, would have been of the same height, but the Commissioners have de cided to out the height of the rooms o 12 feet. As soon as the plans are accepted, bids will be advertised for, and it la expected that work will begin this Summer If there are no drawbacks.

HAD SALT RHEUM FOR FOUR YEARS Began Like a Ringworm on Hand Though Treated, Washing Irri tated It and It Spread Over Arm and Face Kept Growing Worsei CURED TWO YEARS AGO BY CUTICURA A little over sir years ago I had a sore come on my hand. I consulted a doctor. He told me it was a ringworm. It kept on getting worse so I went to another doctor. He called it salt rheum. I kept on taking his treatment for some time but every washday my hand would break out and be worse. It continued to spread till It got over my whole hand and up my arm, also on my face. I suffered with the disease about four years when a friend of mine told me to try Cuticura. I got two cakes of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuti cura Ointment and two bottles of Cuti cura Resolvent. When I had used them up, I was cured and I haven't seen the least sign of the humor since. Mrs. Linda Winslow, Wyal using, Penn.. July 13. 1908." ' FACE BADLY BRUISED And Cut by Fall. Now Healed without a Scar by Use of Cuticura. " On January 31 I fell from a wagon, landing on my face and head against tne curb and gutter. I was about the worst looking person that ever had a face. After about two hours' careful washing I got the blood stopped and the dirt off and my face pretty well cov ered with Cuticura Ointment. Tou may know that I was pretty well skinned up by the fact that both lips were cut inside and out and the skin on my nose and both cheek bones cut. Part of my face was healed over in a week and the scales came off and while the cheek is still sore there are no marks to prove that I was ever scratched. I would also say that I use the Cuticura Soap for shaving and my face Is always soft. W. H. Dean, Newark, Del., February 24, 1908."
