With a chase started across the con tinent In search of a wife, with an at torney already on the scene and volun teering ail necessary" Information rela tive to the woman's whereabouts, most meager as to deflnitenesa. and the wife's sister refusing any Information what ever, the mystery In the relation of Mrs. Mary Adele Case Beam and her hus band is growing apace. It la hinted that a divorce Is In the making. Information from San Francisco yes terday was that the young couple had separated, but it Is said at the home of Mrs. Beam In Oregon City that the young woman and her mother, who la said to be 111. are on their way East, seeking a rest for the latter. 80 far as muld be learned here yesterday, Mr. Beam Is also speeding on his way east ward to find his wife. Beam Comes to Portland. It is known that young Beam, who was a wealthy 6 an Francisco singer, was In Portland a week ago Monday, in quiring of his wife's friends where she might be. It Is also known here that Mrs. Beam was In Oregon City a few d.ivs before her husband's arrival. She was called here, presumably, by the ill ness of her mother. Mrs. Case. That both women left here a week ago Sunday for the East and that they would visit relatives on the way. stopping in Colo rado. North Iakota and Illinois, is es tablished, though It Is apparently un known to Mrs. Beam's own family. Information from Mrs. Beam's home St Oregon City elicited the news that although Mrs. Beam's) sister was "at home." Virgil I Clark, "Mrs. Beam's at torney." would t-Uk. When Mr. Clark was seen, he said: Clark. Says Women Went Fast. "No. I do not know where Mrs. Beam is now. All I can say Is that Mrs. Beam is on her way East with her mother. who is III. On their way to their desti nation they will stop In Colorado. North .Dakota and Illinois to visit with rela tives." When shown the story in regard to Mrs. Etnun printed In an afternoon paper of Portland. Mr. Clark, a Portland at torney connected with R- O. Dun A Co., declared it was false In every particular. Mr. Clark admitted that Beam had be.n In Portland and had Inquired the where abouts of his wife, but said that he had not seen him. though he admitted he would like to have seen him. .Mr. Clark was told that Mr. Beam had left the etiy. At this news Mr. Clark. k ho said he was Interested In the case merely as a friend of the Case family, expressed regret, wishing that he had been able to see Mr. Beam before he loft. Mother Is 111. "The. fart of the matter." continued Mr. Clark. "Is that Mrs. Beam came North in response to a telegTam sent by her family here that her mother waa HI; that she came here alone and remained only a few days, leaving- f6 the East with her mother." It la known that Mrs. Beam telegraphed hor husband, then supposed to have been in San Francisco, that she and her mother were leaving Portland for the East and that a "letter will follow." Mr. Clark said he expected this letter told Mr. Beam where he might find his wife end what her destination Is; but the fact that Mr. Beam arrived North before he received either telegram or letter ex plains why he did not know what had become of his wife. &a far as could be learned last night. Mrs. Beam Is believed to be on her way to Chicago to meet a pupil with whom, it is said, she had become Infatuated since her marriage with Mr. Beam, whose supposed fortune has been cut by his mother, who holds the purse-strings. This fact Is said to have brought about an estrangement between the young couple and led to the young woman's hurried call North, and now he likewise hurried de parture for the East, without her hus band. Mother Knows Situation. That Mrs. Beam the elder knows the true situation between her son and daughter-in-law wut expressed here tonight-Mary Adele Case- Beam Is well known in Portland as a musician. It was two years ago that he returned from her vocal studies In Europe, where her name was connected with her reported engage ment to Rudolph Spreckela, Jr., of San Francisco.

DUBLIN. Sept. 77. tSpeclal.l The typhoid "scare" at Lettermullen proves to be no mere nawspaper story. Eye- witnesses are returning; to Dublin dally who faithfully verify the alarming facta first sent out and tell a story of misery and destitution the like of which has not been heard in Ireland since the days of the corn famines. Letterrnullen la a little Island off the coast of Connemara. a bleak patch of the most desolate scenery in Ireland. Here, on about three miles of almost unbroken ledge, relieved only by dis mal moorland and meagre potato patches stuck In among e rocks, live some 120 families, each with an ave rage of alx children. Overcrowding, unsanitary surroundings, poverty and a seamy and unsuitable diet have so en feebled the vitality of a race of hardy Connaught people that It Is Incon ceivable to see how they can bans; on much longer In Lettermullen. And on top of all this misery, a fatal scourge of typhoid haa swooped down on the unhappy Island. Directly springing from the miserable living; conditions of the island folk, this rap Idly spreading disease haa already at tacked two score of the wretched peo ple. Heroic priests like Father Healy, who has spent 62 years of his life In the community, are making desperate at tempts to lighten the loud of the blight ed Island, but outside aid will be ab solutely necessary to prevent the com plete annihilation of the population. MODERN" SPORTSMEN IIAVE XOT OLI TIME STCRDIXESS. Game) Nowadays Most Be Brought to Back Door of Shooting Quarters of Wealthy Hnnttman. EDINBURGH. Sept 27. SpeciaD Old-time sportsmen are somewhat con temptuous about the conditions of shooting now prevailing on Scottish and Yorkshire moors. Once, a long tramp to the moor, a long wait In the shooting butt, and rough midday fare formed the dally experience or sports men. Now the reign of cotton wool has arrived and sporting hosts have to see to it that hardships are reduced to a minimum. Not even wealth can warm the cold air of the grouse moor. Money kings do their best, however, and pro vide foot-warmers, muffs and not water flasks for the sportsmen waiting behind the butts for the drive to begin. These modern SDortsmen demand that the game should be brought to the back door of their shooting quarters. Now adays scarcely one host could be found who would ask bis guests to walk even a mile to the moor. Smart, speedy au tomoblles must take the shooting; party to and from the shooting center. Good fellowship was at one time sought for in a guest, but the one qualification now expected la that he should be a dead shot. The slxe of the bag Is the overruling motive of moorland sport. Pleasant comradeship and healthy ex ercise are factors correspondingly overlooked to a large extent. It fallows that none but rich men can afford a moor nowadays. Harry Payne Whitney is somewhat responsi ble for setting the pace In extrava gance. He spent $60,000 to secure a good time for the guns over the Hol wtck moors In Upper Teesdale. And arrangements were made only for a week's shoot. E. Harrlman, cousin of the late railway king: Payne Thompson and Percy Chubb have been upholding the American sporting reputation In Scotland. But In the view of the more Impecunious Britisher they have over done the accessories of trie sport. FERTILE LAND WILL OPEN Silver Lake Tract or 30,000 May Be Settled. Acres LAKE VIEW, Or, Sept. 17.
