AUGUST BELMONT'S
SON LOSES FIGHT
Actress-Bride to Get Alimony
at Rate of $100 a ;;
Month Now.
CAREER OF IDLENESS HIT
Justice Greenbaum in Granting Sep
aration Comments on "Gilded
Youth of the Great City."
Fortnno Goes Easily.
NEW YORK, May 5. Ethel Lorraine
Belmont won today her separation Butt
against Raymond Belmont, boh of Au
gust Belmont, the financier. Alimony
at the rate of $100 a month was al
lowed. Belmont is now abroad. Ethel Lor
raine had passed as an actress, al
though she had never been on the
stage.
In his opinion granting Mrs. Bel
mont a decree Supreme Court Justice
Greenbaum commented on the "gilded
youth of the great city." Alluding to
young Belmont, the court said:
"His career of idleness, stimulated
by the plaintiff, has not been condu
cive to a healthy preparation for the
serious problems of life."
In fixing the amount of the alimony
Justice Greenbaum alluded to testi
mony to the effect that August Bel
mont cut off his son's allowance of
three thousand dollars a year on learn
in? of the marriage and that Raymond
Belmont left his father's employ, giv
ing up a salary. of $900 a year.
When Raymond Belmont became of
age in lIHOj -according to the opinion,
he had a fortune of $143,284. In three
years he spent $73,000, "almost con
stantly in the company of the plaint
iff." the' opinion finds, besides giving
about $30,000 in cash to the plaintiff.
The money, the court said, was spent
"in a life of pleasure and reckless
squanderings," and the fortune - has
sunk to about $14,300. which brings an
income of about $2000 a year. The ali
mony is calculated on that income and
an earning capacity of $900 a year.

Special Permits Issued Secretly by
Governors of States Across
Which Train Travels.
CHICAGO, May 5. Chicago and
Cook County authorities congratulated
themselves today over the successful
deportation of Charles Wolgren, a
native of Sweden, who was taken to
the County Hospital in February suffer,
ing from what - was . diagnosed as
leprosy.
Because of the Xear' which the
disease engenders all details of the de.
portation were kept secret and none
but ttie crew of the train on which
Wolgren rode in a private car knew of
liis presence aboard.
Special permits were, issued secretly
by the Governors of states across which
tue train passed a"nd all connected with
the deportation breathed easier when
word was received here today that
Wolsren was safely aboard a liner
oue to leave for Sweden in a few hours.
Wolgren camo to America several years
rjto and took out preliminary naturali
sation papers. Later he returned to
Sweden and then journeyed again to
America, visiting Alaska and Western
points. He was taken to the county
hospital from South Chicago, where he
had been employed last Winter.
TRUST NAME DEMANDED
Faeific Title Company, or Portland,
Wants State Enjoined.
SALEM. Or., May 5. (Special.) The
Pacific Title & Trust Company, of
Portland, today filed suit in the Ma
rlon County Circuit Court for an in
junction against S. G. Sargent, state
bank superintendent, and Attorney
General Crawford, who ordered the
company to -change its name, under an
act passed at the last Legislature. The
art provides that no company, actually
not engaged in the trust business, may
have the word "trust" in its business
name.
It is alleged in the complaint filed
today that, unless the defendants are
restrained, they will compel the plaint
iff to change its name, which would
work an irreparable injury. The plalnt-
iff further avers that the contemplated
action would prevent it from holding
any trust property.

"There Is nobody left to have it:
every one who could take it has had
a chance." is the explanation of the
ending of the epidemic

was dismissed efforts were made to
stop it. but when school began again
the contagion continued. At one time
it was estimated that a fourth of the
houses in Eugene had measles.

FREIGHTER BURNS AT SEA
(Continued From First Page.)
Warning Given, However, Against
Postponing Medical Treatment for
Organic Disorders Wit
nesses Differ Widely.
LONDON, May 5. An Important con
tribution to one of the foremost topics
of the day is found in tne report today
of the "committee on spiritual healing
or faith cure," appointed by the con
ference of the clerical and medical pro
fessions held in October, 1911.
The committee, which is composed of
prominent clergymen and doctors, in
its conclusions says: "The members of
the committee fully recognized that
operations of divine power can be lim
ited only by the divine will, and they
desire to express their belief in the
efficacy of prayer. They reverently be
lieve, however, divine power is exer
cised in conformity with and through
the operation of natural laws. With
advancing knowledge of these laws, in
creasing benefits are being secured for
mankind through humane instrumen
tality. Plea for Spiritual Ministration?
"Especially Is this true in the case
of healing of disorders of the body and
the mind, and they consider that spir
itual ministration should be recognized
equally with medical ministration as
carrying God's blessing to the sick.
"The committee is of the opinion that
physical results of what is called faith
or spiritual healing, do not prove dif
ferent from those of mental healing, or
healing by suggestion.
"The committee recognizes that sug
gestion is more effectively exercised by
some persons than others, which would
seem to explain the gifts claimed by
healers. The use of religious influences
does not differ essentially from non
religious appeals to the mind, yet the
former are often more potent.
Organic Disorders Expected.
"Faith or spiritual healing can be
permanently effective in functional dis
orders, as distinguished from organic
disorders, and the committee warns
against resorting to healers and post
poning medical treatment.
'Spiritual ministrations may contrib
ute to the success of medical treatment,
and we desire to see more importance
attached to them, but we strongly dep
recate the independent treatment of
disease by Irresponsible and unqualified
persons."
The membership of the committee In
cludes Herbert E. Ryle, dean of West
minster; H. H. Henson, dean of Dur
ham: William R. Inge, dean of St.
Pauls: Henry- L. Paget, bishop of
btepney. and Archdeacon Sinclair.
Among the medical members are Sir
Dyce Duckworth, Sir Richard Douglas
Powell, Theodore B. Hyslop and Sir
Thomas Clifford Allbutt.
Moral Quality Not Determined '
The witnesses examined by the com
mittee differed in their definitions of
spiritual and mental healing. Some re
garded the former as a divine interpo
sition above the laws of nature, while
most of them connected spiritual heal
ing today with the gifts of healing of
the apostolic church, saying they
tnougnt these nad long been dormant
although never wholly interrupted.
ihe witnesses differed widely as to
whether moral excellence in the healers
or the healed was essential for sue
cess.
Most of them gave convincing evi
dence of beneficial results In func
tional nervous disorders and cases of
alcoholism and drug-taking, but not
one gave satisfactory evidence of any
case of organic disease cured by spir
itual or faith healing alone.

Mr. Burleson was replying to the

He asserted the companies would not

You've never seen shirts of this grade offered at such a remarkably low price. It's unparalleled in the history of shirt selling in

means whatever price we ask will be agreeable to this manufacturer.
Not only did he meet our price, but he blue-penciled it and gave us a still further concession. After selecting Silk Finished
Soisettes, Woven Madrasses, French Crepes, Jacquard Cloths and Novelty Percales, they were made over our own specifications,
superbly laundered, correct and refined in style and finish.

LONDON. May 5. The British gov
ernment will reconsider its decision not
to participate in the . Panama-Paclnc
Exposition at San Krancisco and It
probably will decide that Ijreat Britain
shall be represented officially at the
fair in a distinctly modified form.
Premier Asquith today received a
deputation from the House of Commons,
representing more than hair the mem
bership, and promised te submit their
views to the Cabinet.
The suggestion of the deputation was
that the British government erect a
special governmental pavilion which
would, serve as a rallying point for
British subjects from all parts of the
empire. Mr. Asquith intimated this
pFoposal. which would be in the nature
of a complimentary acceptance of the
invitation to participate without com
mitting the government to much expen
diture, would commend Itself to the
Cabinet Ministers.
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray
and John Burns, president of the local
government board, were with the Pre
mier. The spokumen for the deputa
tion were Sir Alfred liond and Sir Rob
ert Balfour, of the Liberals; William
Hayes Fisher, for the Unionists;
George N. Barnes, for the Labor party,
and William Kedmond, for the Nation

desire of the American people that

Britain's refusal.

Hood's Sarsaparilla, as a Spring Med

Spring sickness comes In some de
gree to every nan, woman and child
in . our climate. It is that run-down
condition of the system that results
from impure, impoverished, devital
ized blood. It Is marked by loss of
appetite and that tired feeling, and in
many cases by some form of eruption.
The best way to treat Spring sick
ness is to take Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Ask your druggist for this old reli
able family medicine. It purines, en
riches and revitalises the blood. It
is an aul-the-year-round alterative and
tonic, and is absolutely the best Spring
medicine.
Get your blood In good condition at
once now. Xelay may be dangerous.
Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla,
nothing else can take Its place. Adv.

it is better to extend the jetty or to
resort to dredging as a means of deep
