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.
