Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGON TAN, - FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1914. 13 -i - PEONAGE SUIT IS UP Judge Cleeton Refuses to Dis miss Larson Case. WAGES FOR 1 6 YEARS ASKED F. A. and Marie Page Charged With Keeping Woman in Senrltnde by Preying on Her Fears Re garding White Slavers. Until further advised in the matter. JuJge Cleeton would not dismiss the suit brought by Elizabeth Larson, a Norwegian woman, against A. Paige and Marie Paige, on the representation of attorneys that the defendants had offered to settle the claim against them for $150. Miss Larson brought suit for $6600, which she charges is due heritor lynervices rendered as a servant from YJovember 1, 1897, until November 6, r.913. "Even if these defendants go Into bankruptcy as a result I think the case : should be tried and the facts made known," said Judge Cleeton." If the al legations in this complaint are true and ; can be proved, even though a judgment is of no value, it would be made public. ' A settlement of $150 for 16 years' serv ice is no settlement at all, in my esti mation." Miss Larson, who gives her age at ' 55 years, charged in her suit brought several months ago that from Novera- ber 1, 1897, until November 6, 1913, she resided at the home of the defendants, where she was forced "to lead a life of . seclusion and unremitting toil and hardship" and was compelled "to ren- ; der services of the most menial kind and laborious description and to a life . of slavery until certain persons, actu ated by motives of humanity, instituted proceedings to release plaintiff from bondage." During the 192 months she says she was at the Paige place. Miss Larson says she received no money and the scant clothing provided for her was not worth more than $120. In her suit she asks for $35 a month for her services, totaling $6720, with a reduction for the clothing she had received. Information concerning the alleged mistreatment of Miss Larson by the Paiges was obtained by Portland Scan dinavians last Fall, and steps were taken at once to learn the truth and bri g about the release of the Larson woman. The Sons of Norway were suc V -cessful and brought the attention of .the District Attorney's office to the relation that had existed between Miss Larson and the Paiges. Miss Larson after her release said that she had been taught by the Paiges to beware of all Norwegians and Swedes who attempted to become friendly with her. Her countrymen, she said she was told, would send her to an asylum or possibly sell her to whtie slave dealers if she went to them, and she was kept in fear, she said, of telling her condition to friends. the -plot for this feature. Again the wonderful Colonel Heeza Liar is fea tured in a shipwreck. All who have seen any of these remarkably clever animated cartoons know what to ex pect. A scenic short trip to Budapest is in teresting, and an excellent comedy, "Dinklespell's Baby," complete the pic ture. Dlnklespell's wife has a pet dog, but it does not make a hit with him. In a mysterious manner he finds a baby on his bands. He puts the baby on his own doorstep. His wife finds it and wants to keep it. Here is where Dinklespell gets what, he wants. He says to his wife, keep the baby or the dog. The baby wins. The bill con tinues until Saturday night. Star.
