SUES LILLIAN DUKE
Alienation of Husband's Affec

King's ex-Wife.
LEGAL SEPARATION SOUGHT
Wife of ex-Member of Congress, Who
Operated in Portland as Hydraul
ic Engineer, Charges Cruelty
and Xon-Snpport to Mate.
NEW YORK. June 16. Lafayette
I ence, known from Portland, Or., to
New Tork as Late Pence, ex-Repre
sentative in Congress from Colorado,
may not be allowed to marry Lillian N.
Duke, should he so desire, as, the re
sult of the suit for separation which
his present wife has started. Mrs.
Pence, who was Katharine Soper,
iaug;hter of Robert Soper, has declared
she will not seek, a complete divorce
and 'allow him to marry the other
woman."
Immediately following the filing- of
the suit ag-ainst her husband, Mr. Pence
started a damage suit asralnst Lillian
N. Duke, divorced wife of the tobacco
millionaire, for alienation of Pence's
affections.
Tri her suit for separation, Mrs. Pence
alleged cruel treatment and non-support.
She says she was married to
Pence In Denver 25 years ago.
Tn filing her suit against Mrs. Duke,
Mrs. Pence alleged the existence of In
timate relations between Mr. Pence and
the stunninj? ex-wife of the tobacco
man. Mrs. Duke is the divorced wife
of James B. Duke. Before her mar
riage to Duke she was the widow Mc.
f'reedy. She was divorced from Duke
after a sensational trial and Mr. Duke
has since married. It was declared after
the trial, that Duke gave $500,000 to
her as a settlement.
Lafe Pence was a familiar figure in
Portland about seven years ago and
made, much of an impression here bv
his ambitious scheme to sluice a.wav a
considerable portion of the hills west
of the city. His plan was for more ex
tensive operations, however, than that
of the Lewis-Wiley Company, which re
cently sluiced down the hills upon
which Westover Terraces have been
built. It was not successful for the
reason -that It provided for storing the
natural water fall of the rainy season
and using it for hydraulic work in the
dry season.
Thile this mork was in progress he
became involved in a controversy with
Mayor Lane because some of his equip
ment intruded on public property in
Macleay Park. After repeated demands
for removal were disobeyed. Mayor
Lane organized a gang of workmen
who went out one Sunday and tore it
down themselves.
Mr. Pence was a practical mining en
gineer and had operated successfully at
several places before coining here. He
bought property here. Including much
in North Portland, and speculated heav
ily In. real estate and various develop
ment enterprises. He had a pleasing
personality and attracted many friends
to him. He was a typical promoter and
seemed to have little difficulty in ob
taining money to carry on his various
enterprises. He uiranH t tim.. t
what conservative Investors might call
hazardous financial risks. Some bank
ers oescribe him as "visionary." His
operations involved the Title Guarantee
& Trust Company in financial difficulty
Before Homing to Portland Mr. Pence
was elected to the lower house of Con
gress from Colorado as a Populist and
Silver Democrat, serving in the 63d
ongress. Later he removed to New
York, serving: as a railroad lawyer. He
is a graduate of the Hanover Law
School, of Indiana, and is 66 years old.
ARSON "TRUST" CASES UP
IWendant Alleges IProsecutor Solicit
ed Bribe of 91000.
CHICAGO. June 16. Charges that
Assistant State's Attorney Kdwln J.
Raber had solicited a bribe of $1000
from Joseph Clarke, an insurance ad
juster, were made today in the open
ing of the trial of Edward and Paul
Cobitz and Clarke, charged, with arson.

from Paying- out any part of the
$450,000 appropriated at the last ses
sion of the Legislature for the reclama
tion of land in the Columbia Southern
irrigation project.
The meeting w'as called to consider
a letter authorized by Secretary of the
Interior Lane, which announced If the
scheme was feasible the United States
also would contribute $450,000 .for the
work.
Mr. McMahan said that while he still
believed the bill, appropriating- $450.
000 for the work, was unconstitutional,
the report that the Federal Govern
ment would contribute the same
amount put a somewhat different phase
to the question. He, however, showed
no disposition to withdraw his suit,
which was decided against him by Cir
cuit Judge Galloway, again declaring
that the Legislature had no right to
appropriate money 'contributed by all
the people for the benefit of any one
class.
Attorney-General Crawford explained
that the money which the Government
proposed to donate could be used In
construction of part of the dam, and
the rest in irrigating land adjoining
that Irrigated by the state. He said
that the funds could not be used
jointly because of the necessity of both
the state and Federal Government hav
ing first mortgages on the land.
Mr. McMahan and the Attorney-General
agreed to prepare briefs at once
and the Supreme Court will be asked
to hear argument either Friday or
Monday and give a decision as soon
as possible.

Government Xot to Pay Flood Loss.
WASHINGTON. June 16. Tho Su-
mCUrt t05av deoll that the
Federal Government was not officially
responsible for tho flooding of more
than 100 plantations on the Mississippi
as a result of levee construction. Ef
forts were made to hold the Govern
ment responsible for the value of the

legislation in Oregon. Missouri. Arkan
sas and West Virginia. This legislation
included freight rates out of Portland
in the Oregon cities; two-cent passenger
laws In Missouri. Arkansas and West
Virginia, and maximum freight rate
laws in Missouri and Arkansas. The
only exception to the sweeping ap
proval in the state statutes was in the
case of several weaker roads in Mis
souri.
Ruling. Is Oregon Victory.
The Oregon and West Virginia 'cases
were decided in favor of states in a few
words, the only point raised by tho
railroads being that the laws inter
fered wltb interstate commerce.
Justice Hughes in announcing the
decision in the Oregon case rend th
following brief memorandum:
There are two suits hrnnrhf h tv.
O.-W. R. & N. Company and Southern
facitic Company, respectively.
"The suit by tho O.-W. R- A isr. rvim
pany was brought to restrain tho en
forcement of tho order of tho Railroad
Commission of Oregon, made April 22
1U08. prescribing freisrht TV,-
principal ground of attack was that tha
oraer and tho rates named would con
stitute unconstitutional Interference
with Interstate commerce. There were
no sufficient allegations to present the
question or confiscation and that Is not
involved in this case.
"The demurrers to the hill v,
talned. In the court below and tho bill
of complaint dismissed.
following a. decision of the Minnesota
cases, anrirms tho decree.
Lower Court Affirmed.
"In the case of the Southern Pa
ciflo Company (in which the Oregon
and California Railroad Company was
Joined as complainant), and suit was
brought to restrain enforcement of
tno order of tho Railroad. Commission
made September 21, 19101 prescribing
freight rates. Demurrers to the bill
were sustained by the court below and
the bill is dismissed. (Tho principal
question presented is that of inter
ference with Interstate commerce and
the decision is the same as that made
in the Minnesota rate case.. Th al
legations of the bill were not sufficient
to present tho question of confiscation).
The decree is affirmed."
Because of heavy demands upon his
time Justice Hughes has been unable
to complete tho text of tho decision
In the Oregon cases and the full opinion
will not bo made publio for several
days.
Tho Kentucky case was not decided.
It involves an attack upon state rates
from river points to inland distillery
cities and an attack on tho constitu
tionality of the act. enabllns- the Krat
Railroad. Commission to fix reasonable
rates on intranstate business. A deci
sion In this ease may be forthcoming
w.hea the court meets again in October.
Deelslom Disappoints Maar.
Justice Hughes announced tha dr-i-
sion in the rate cases today as he did
in the Minnesota, cases a week ago.
Wherever tho point was raised that
the state laws interfered with inter
state commerce the justice referred to
his Minnesota rate decision. He disap.
pointed anv who bellevnd tha rmirt
might in some way modify that decision.
Minnesota Case Pointed To.
"We need not review tho ararumentji
adjusted to conditions of transports.-'
tion in Missouri and the relation of
Intrastate and to interstate rates," he
said, "for while tho case has its spe
cial facts by reason of location of the
state and the use of the MiRsisainni anA
Missouri rivers as basing points in rate-
making, tho controlling question that
has been presented with reference to
the authority of the state to nrrrih
reasonable intrastate rates throughout
its territory, unless limited by the ex
ercise on the part of Congress of its
constitutional power over interstate
commerce and its instruments, is not
to ba distlneruishel in n v mntnrlol in
spect from that which was considered
ana aeciaea m me Minnesota rate
cases."
Justice Hughes went fullv Inin an
examination -of claims in the Missouri
and Arkansas cases that tho property
of the railroads devoted tn htrast.
business would be confiscated.
As a result the state rates will be
come operative on the Chicago. J3ui'-.j
lington & Quincy. the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, tho Kansas City Southern,
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the Chi
cago, Rosk Island & Pacific (including
the St. Louis. Kansas City & Colorado),
the St. Louis & San Francisco; the St!
Louis Southwestern, the Missouri Pa
cific, the St. Louis. Iron Mountain &
Southern, the Wabash, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, tho Chicago &
Alton.
Tho court refused to accept the val
uation placed upon railroads in Mis
souri by tho state's Assessing Board as
a basis for fixing the "fair value" for
figuring whether the rates confiscated
property. Justice Hughes took the
case of tho Burlington and showed that
by applying the assessment value (mul
tiplied three times, as was done by the
Federal Court in Missouri.) to the
wholo system, a result would be ob
tained $115,000,000 in excess of the cap.
italization of the system. Besides he
said there was nothing to show upon
what the Assessors fixed their valua
tion nor was It demonstrated that the
Assessors avoided tho mistakes criti
cised in tho Minnesota rate decision.
Proof Held Lacking.
"Manifestly, a finding of confiscation
could not be based on such a valuation
in tho absence of clear and convincing
proof that the value actually existed
and that tho different items of prop
erty were estimated respectively by cor
rect methods and In accordance with
proper criteria of value." said Justice
Hughes. "This proof was lacking. In
the case of the other roads, although
the special considerations which have
been mentioned with respect to the
Burlington property may not be appli
cable, still we are left in uncertainty
as to the correctness of specific valua
tions which bave been made."
Apportionment of property values be
tween interstate and intrastate passen.
ger and freight traffic, according to
gross revenue, was disapproved for
"reasons stated in the Minnesota rate
cases."
Coming to an apportionment of ex
penses. Justice Hughes said the plan
adopted by the lower court was open to
the same objection as in the Minnesota
cases.
Reversal IV ot Warranted.
However, as to the St. Louis & Han
nibal and the Kansas City. Clinton &
Springfield, he said the experts of both
the state and the railroads united in
stating no basis could be found upon
which the proposed rates would yield
an adequate return.
As to the Chicago. Great Western, he
said the errors of valuation and appor
tionment were not sufficient to warrant
a reversal of the finding of the lower
courts that the rates were confiscatory.
The rates as to the Quincj-. Omaha &
Kansas City and the St. Joseph & Grand
Island were annulled because of a
stipulation between the state and rail
roads that the finding as to the Chi
cago Great Western should control
them.
MONTANA FILKS RATE PROTEST
Carload Tariff on Grain and Flax Is
Held to Be Discriminating.
BUTTE, Mont., June 16. The Board
of Railway Commissioners for Montana
