SAN FRANCISCO, Oct $0. (Special.
That favored child of fortune, Milos
M. Gopcevlc, whose career, though
more checkered than that of a sunbeam
in a grove, has until now always
brought him luck In the end, was made
, defendant in a lawsuit filed by his
brother. Bozo M. Gopcevlc, in the Su
perior Court today.
The Gopcevics have soared as high as
aspiring' for the throne of Montenegro
and Jllios has been employed at run
ning the grip end of a California-street
car. Just now he is wealthy, the nus
band of a beautiful wife and the owner
of one of the finest country palaces in
California, near Lakeport.
Nevertheless, his brother, who as the
eldest of the family might have been
King if fate had shoved her pawns
about a little differently, accuses him
of not playing fair in re card to a little
family contract, and asks that he be
compelled to hand over $71,800 or its
equivalent.
Montenegro Customs Pleaded.
Bozo begins his complaint by review
ing some of the customs of Montenegro,
particularly those bearing on family
government, and declares that accord
ing to these customs the elder brother
becomes, in the event of the death of
the father, the official head of the fam
liy and entitled to consideration as
such. The elder alone is usually edu
cated in the ways of business.
Therefore, says the plaintiff, when in
1904 Jtllos, having: completed his trou
Dies as a gripman. wooed and won
Miss Harry Floyd, who possesses not
only beauty and social position but
$900,000 in real money, it was only
natural that Bozo should be consulted.
, DISPUTE Oil OVER BOY
SOME EUGENICS EXPERTS SAT
REX PALMER NOT PERFECT.
Adenoids, Bowed Leg's, Abnormal
Larynx, Enlarged Tonsil, Etc.,
Among Defects.
Because several authorities on baby
beauty pronounced 6-months-old Rtx
Palmer a perfect baby, there is a con
troversy on. This babe wbo has never
worn any clothes certainly is a fine
child but there are others. And, the
mothers of some of the others are pro
testing that young Rex isn't as fine
as their babies who wear the conven
tional garb of babyhood. Rex smiles
unconcernedly in his birthday clothes.
Mrs. Samuel Connell, secretary of
the Parents' Educational Bureau, says
that the child has been thoroughly ex
amined and that his score is a little
more than 92; that he has adenoids and
that in size and weight he is not in
proportion to the accepted standard cn
the score card.
Dr. Robert Hall, an eugenics expert-
made the psychological tests and was
called in consultation at the physical
test. He found the baby bright men
tally and fat. The fat makes the child
able to withstand the cold, says Dr.
Hall. He also noticed the adenoids.
Dr. Elizabeth E. Smith, who made
the physical test, said that the baby
had been urged to stand and was be-
gel
lttert bSdS U and th. 5 6t bowlegged. also that Sbe
gripman found himself possessed of
the fortune.
Again he consulted the head of his
family and, according to the elder
brother, entered into an agreement to
pay Bozo $100 a month for life, beside
providing ntm with food and shelter.
Bozo declares that he became man
ager of the estate left to Milos, includ
ing the Lake County property.
Balm for Feellna-n Demanded.
He eomplalns, however, that the de
fendant did not live up to his part of
the agreement, and the present suit is
in part for the purpose . of recover
ing the $100 a montb now amounting
to $1800. He also wants $30,000 as
compensation for the breach of con
tract and $40,000 as compensation for
the injury suffered by his feelings
when He found that his brother had
violated etiquette of their- ancient and
royal house.
A few years after the death of his
first wife the defendant married Helen
Dodd. a daughter of General Marshal
Dodd. He appears to have no further
need of a manager In the person of his
elder brother. Whether he will have
to pay money to square the deal, how
ever, the courts must decide.

Smith advised the mother ro that she

with permission to the state to sell the
land at not less than $4 an acre and ap
ply the proceeds to the construction of
public roads. He probably will so frame
his bill as to make similar grants to
California, and Washington as well.
Recently, on recommendation of the
Interior Department, a bill was Intro
duced making such grants to each of
the Rocky Mountain States, but no pro
vision was made for the states on the
Pacific Coast.
Senator Lane will Insist that Oregon
be included in any bill of this nature
which passes the Senate, and has prac
tical assurance that his bill will be em
bodied In the departmental bill before
it is reported to the Senate. In effect
this bill donates a million dollars to
each Western state for road work, and
assurance is given by the department
tnat ir tne experiment proves successful

STRONG odor of gas prevailing for
the past two days in the vicinity
of Broadway and Yamhill streets, near
the Empress Theater, complaint was
made to the Portland Gas & Coke Com
pany and several workmen were dis
patched with orders to locate the gas
leak lnstanter, stop It and report the
trouble.
Every nook and corner of the Em
press theater and office .part of the
building the basement of the struc
ture and every gas main vent within
two blocks of the Broadway corner
was inspected, but the noses of the
workmen were poor compasses they
smelled the gas, but could not find the
leak.
In the meantime men, women and
children passing the Empress took the
precaution to step up to the box office
and inform Eddie Chllds, the treasurer,
that the odor of gas was so strong
thereabouts that pedestrians were in
danger of falling in a faint.
"I know, replied Mr. Chllds Invaria
bly, "I get the worst of It right here.
but haven t fainted yet."
Complaint again was made to the
gas company and a larger force of men
was sent to double all past efforts in
attempts to find the "cussed" gas leak.
Then II. W. Pierong, manager or the
Empress, appeared on the seen.
'I am sorry you have been put to all
this trouble," he said smilingly. "You
may return to the office; I have found
the disturbing element and it is neither
gas nor a leak."
Mr. Pierong, in Inspecting the corner
store, which is being furbished for a
furrier, discovered that the gaseous
odor came from paint applied to the
new showcases. Now that there is no
more mystery there is no more odor.
The paint Is dry.

STATE RIGHTS UPHELD
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FA
VOR HOME RULE.
Interstate Commissioner Says Fed
eral Body Docs Not Seek Ex
tension of Power.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Another de
termined effort late today to have the
so-called "states' rights" resolution
adopted by the National Association of
Railway Commissioners resulted In the
adoption of a substitute offered by
Commissioner Eshelman, of California,
which, without going Into constitution
al questions, declared it "the sense of
this association that no legislation by
Congress at this time attempting to
enlarge the Jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission over com
merce purely Intrastate is -necessary or
desirable.'
The vote was unanimous, after a
spirited debate which started when the
convention again took up the states'
rights resolution introduced yesterday
by Commissioner Finn, of Kentucky,
and tabled by a vote of 20 to 19. This
would have asserted the rights of the
states to exercise their constitutional
authority over Intrastate commerce
without hindrance from the Federal
Government.
Those who favored the original reso
lution contended that a concerted ef
fort was being mads to denude the
State Commissions of rate-making au
thority and to centralize such powers
in the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. Commissioner Thome, of Iowa,
declared that Interstate Interests
should conform to reasonable state
made intrastate rates.
"I want to see home rule protected
permanently," he said.
Chairman Clark, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, said that so far
as he was advised the members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission were
in accord with the Eshelman substi
tute. "I am positive." aaUj ha, "that no
thought is entertained by the members
of the committee of obtaining such new
legislation as has been suggested. We
as a Commission heartily welcome and
evon solicit the co-operation in our
work of - the Commissions of the
states."
