FATHER TELLS OF "DEAL" Jack Kins Says Battling Xelson, His Son-ln-Law, Misrepresented Sit uation to Daughter And Threatened Violence. DENVER Colo.. Feb. 27 (Special.) Battling Kelson's dream or love oia not last. Mrs. Nelson, whom he led to the altar In Hegeswlch a few weeks ago as Miss Far Klnar. wldelr known Denver news Daner cartoonist. Is Kolna- to sue htm (or divorce and ask (or the restoration of her maiden name. "He kidnaped me when he rushed Into Denver and grabbed my suit case, hustling me off to Chicago to be mar ried." she said. 'Tea. sir. he literally kldnaned me. I had no time to think After that glittering ceremony I real ised I did not love him and never coma. "I want a husband who Is a working man. not a man who comes home every night wearing dlamonas ana a cnecn ult. I want a man to come home with a dinner bucket In his hand. I want a home, not a hotel; a home where I can cook and keep house. 1 would do anything for a man I love, but I don't love Bat. 1 like him mighty welt His fame as a fisrhter won my liking; eight years Biro. But I know I never loved mm and I won't let him continue through life with a woman who doesn't love him." The Nelsons were married last Jan uary In the ex-lightweight pugilist champion's home, Hegewlsch. Ill where the ceremony was accompanied by the blare of a brass band and much gayety. Mrs. Nelson sets forth that she has lived with him but three days and never was willingly his wife. It is stated that Nelson will be In Denver next week and that the suit U1 be (lied at that time. THREATS 3IADE BY XEXSOX Jack King Tells of Situation Between Daughter and Son-ln-Law. When Mrs. Nelson left Portland for Denver early this month, after a visit of five days with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Jack King, they knew that their only daughter was to sue for a divorce from Bat Nelson, who she declared had lured ber to Chicago by misrepresenta tion and forced a wedding ceremony practically by threats of physical vio lence. "Fay told us when she came home that when she left Denver with Nelson it was understood that tbey were to come to Portland to see us about the marriage." said Jack King last night. "One hour after getting on the train she discovered that they were not on their way to Portland, but to Chicago. Then when they arrived at Chicago she still refused to marry Nelson, declar ing that she did not love him. but he cried, threatened to kill himself and her. and fearful of the worst she con sented to the ceremony. "Fay never loved Nelson and never intended to marry him. but there she was. a young girl In a strange city with a half-crazed man imploring her to marry him. In her trouble she took what appeared to be the easiest course aod married him. "She held ber head high in Portland and tried to convince her friends thai vhe was happy, but she broke down be fore she left and confessed all to her parents." Fay King Nelson was born In Seat tle 23 years ago. She came to Portland with her parents when months old and lived here until she went to Den ver to accept a position as cartoonist on a newspaper, which was secured tot her by Selson. "I am confident that Nelson got that Job In Denver for her to get her away from her parents so that he could force Fay to marry him." declares King. the State Senate. It Includes a clause prohibiting contests "between human beings and animals," thus precluding possibility of bull fights in this state. A similar bill Is before the House. New York.

PUIJ3IAX TEAM IS VICTOR Oregon Five Defeated, 24 ot CO. In Hard Game. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Feb. 27. (Special.) Washington State College defeated Oregon by a score of 34 to 20 In their second Dasaetoau gam here tonight. The Oregon team fought fully as hard as In the first contest, but was outlucked by the visitors In basket shooting. The Norberners teat Hay ward's men by two points in each half, the score at the end of the first half being 13 to 11. During the latter part of the game the Northerners with a safe lead, and Oregon coming strong, assumed the de. fenstve and 'stalled" cleverly for time. The remainder of the game, however, was fast and desperately contested. In an effort to turn the tide of bat tle Hayward sent In his center. Fen ton, although the big player Is still dis abled by the bruised back which has kept him out of Oregon's recent games. Bonier waa high roan for the visitors, shooting five field goals. Anderson bagged two spectacular throws and Sampson, at guard, ahot fouls with un erring accuracy. Walker starred ior Oregon, shooting five difficult baskets. He played with his head swathed In bandages after receiving a deep cut in a collision with Sampson early in the game. The summary: VT. 8. C. Ore eon. Bonier tl r -walker u Anderson (4 ' Boy len.
