COURT PHOTOS FORBIDDEN
Warm Denial Is Made by Divorce De
fendant Wlien Extravagant Taste
in Dress Is Insinuated Dur
i lng Cross-Examination.
TACOMA, Tashpril 17. (Spe
cial.) "Everything has been done In
the past year to destroy my affection
for Mr. Barnhisel, but I still love him,"
was the low voiced declaration of Mrs.
Olive M. Barnhisel today closing her
direct testimony in the suit her hus
band. Rev. A. H. Barnhisel. has brought
against her for divorce. It brought an
excited buzz through the courtroom
crowded with women from all strata
of society, each asking the other what
It was she said. Cross examination by
her husband's attorney was then begun
and following it, Mr. Barnhisel himself
was recalled to the stand and produced
a more detailed statement of household
expenses.
A night session of court was held
by Judge Mitchell to hurry the case
along. Incidentally an order was Issued
forbidding taking of pictures in the
courtroom. Judge Mitchell remarking
the case was getting all the publicity
It needed.
Teachings of the New Thought cult
played a more important part In the
day's proceedings, Mrs. Barnisel telling
of the influence brought to bear upon
her minister husband by Mrs. Scovell, a
local New Thought teacher.
Legal Papers Served on Both.
Papers in a mortgage foreclosure suit
for $3000 were served on the Barnhisels
during the trial today.
Mrs. Barnhisel testified that Barn
hisel had even brought influence to
bear upon her through Mrs. Scovell,
New Thought instructor, with regard to
therapeutic suggestion to induce her to
part with her property In his favor.
Mrs. Barnhisel said Mrs. Scovell was
sent to her by Barnhisel to try and
set her in sympathy with the so-called
New Thought movement with an Idea
that she would be inspired with the
thought of the great fields which she
could conquer in a social way, and also
to get her to part with her property
In favor of Barnhisel.
"I could only interpret it as an ap
peal to my egotism." said Mrs. Barri
liiscl. She repudiated all of Mr. Barn
hisel's statements as absolutely false in
regard to her suicide threats. She de
nied her husband's statement that the
three 'tragedies" of her life were her
not being able to go on a long trip
whenever her friends did so; being dis
consolate when Katharyn, the little
daughter, did not get an invitation to
every exclusive dance and not being
able to live in a fine house.'
Dreaa Declared Single Luxury.
Asked on cross-examination as to
towns she had bought from the fiho-
. ' n
And incidentally;,
uren Misters, of Portland. Mrs. Barn
hisel replied with some beat:
"Mr. Barnhisel never paid 5 cents
to the Shogren sisters. I paid those
bills out of my own money. I consid
ered them the one luxury I enjoyed
during our married life.
'"Were your bills not $850, not In
cluding- traveling expenses, during the
years of Mr. Barnhisel's business life?"
They were not, answered the wit
ness.
"Can't you make an estimate of what
the bill was'" asked the attorney.
"I should say not over half that.
she answered.
"I had four gowns, a suit and an
extra coat," she continued. In answer
to further questioning Mrs. Barnhisel
testified:
"The suit and coat cost me J125.
Ninety dollars was the cost of the
gown I wore to the Snell reception. No
one gown cost in excess of $125."

choice, and is supported by influential
committeemen. The name of Lucius
McGuire, of Seattle, also is suggested
as a candidate.
Much interest also centers in the re
ported intention of Chairman Werner
A. Rupp, of Aberdeen, to resign. Mr.
Rupp refuses to deny or confirm the
rumor, but his friends say that if it 1b
desired to put into effect reorganlza
tion plans he will be glad to make
way for the selection of a new chair
man, otherwise he might be content to
head the committee until the beginning
of the Fall campaign.
The coming election of a Senator and
five Representatives in Congress, the
latter to be elected by districts, will
give Importance to the Tacoma con

to Delay Farm Work.
CHEIIALIS, Wash., April 17. (Spe-

that have fallen locally within the past
few weeks, farmers are considerably
delayed with their work. Most of the

grains and other crops are coming on
at a wonderful rate.

WILIi II U DISCUSSED.
Charges Are Made Against Road and
ImprrMlon Prevails That IUghta
Mast Be Gaarded.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. April 17.
(Special.) To discuss the Columbia
River interstate bridge situation, a
public meeting has been called here
at 3 o'clock Saturday, April IS, at
which time George M. Hyland, of Port
land, will be the principal speaker. He
will have data, concerning the ap
proaches. Farmers particularly are in
vited to be present. The place of meet
ing will be chosen tomorrow.
There is a general impression here
that the Portland Railway, Light Sc.
Power Company is attempting to se
cure a franchise free across the bridge,
to have the bridge commission build
the track for it. and to be in a posi
tion to dictate the terms as to what
company could be granted a common
user clause over its tracks on the right
of way it owns on the Union avenue
extension.
In fact, at a meeting of the Van
couver Commercial Club, held last
night, W. G. Drowley, an attorney of
this city, read letters said to be from
President Griffiths, of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company, to.
J. Fred Larson, of Portland, stating
these terms.
- The president was authorized to ap
point a committee of live members to
Investigate the matter.

Judrfe George T. Retd. assistant to
the president of the Northern Pacific
Railway, was the principal speaker.
He praised the new building and spoke
of the resources and future of Hoquiam
and Grays Harbor and then turned his
attention to "freak" legislation. The
mania to make laws, many of them
of a freakish character and tending
only to hamper business rather than
keep it along proper lines, has grown
and has had a great part In the pres
ent financial depression, he said. He
spoke hopefully of the future and of
the spirit of greater confidence be
tween railways and the public.
