Dv mdc -Mnniccvi Hid. flUUULUfU In a second deposition made at Chi cago, I1L, and filed In Portland yester day, Mrs. Felicle Modjeskl, whom Ralph Modjeskl, a prominent brldgre and civil engineer of this city, is suing for di vorce, denies every charge made by her husband and makes cross-allegations. Mr. Modjeski's application for divorce was based . principally upon seven trips taken by his wife to Europe, against his consent. In the deposition filed here yesterday, Mrs. Modjeskl de clares that, although she did take seven trips to Europe, they were taken with her husband's consent and, she says, he made six trips across the Atlantic him self. Mrs. Modjeskl did not deny her hus band's charge that she told the children that he was of illegitimate birth, but ays: - "Whatever this affiant told the children of the birth of said Ralph Modjeskl was the truth and was told to the children with the knowledge and consent of said .Ralph Modjeskl, and because of circumstances arising which made it advisable to inform the chil dren." Propinquity la Asserted. ' She devoted several pages of the affidavit in attempting to defend her , self against the assertion made by . her husband that she hated the United . States and its people and wanted her children educated abroad. "Affiant and said Ralph . Modjeskl were born In Poland." she deposed, "and were cousins previous to mar riage, affiant's aunt being said Ralph Modjeski's mother. That said affiant's aunt and said Ralph Modjeski's mother Is wealthy and could well afford to make Ralph Modjeskl presents of small sums of money which he deposed were made because of affiant's alleged ex cessive spending of money; that said statement was untrue, as said Ralph Modjeskl well knows, affiant never pending money to excess, and said presents were expended upon himself except when affiant and said Ralph Modjeskl made their first trip to Eu rope. "Affiant never has or has not now any hatred of-the United States or its people and denies that she ever said the customs- and manners of the United States or its people were crude, 'un couth and uneducated." Money Offer Recited, She also denied that she told Mr. Modjeskl Bhe would not return to this country when she made the trip In June, 1910, to Poland and from which trip she has just returned to Chicago. She repeats her charge that on two dif ferent occasions Modjeskl sent a mes senger to Europe offering her first $70,000 and then $80,000 if she would not fight divorce proceedings he was about to bring. She identified this messenger as C. W. Farnham a Min neapolis attorney. Mrs. Modjeskl said that whenever her husband traveled he stopped at fashionable hotels. "Affiant says further that It is un true that when the children of this af fiant and of her husband, the said Ralph Modjeskl, were born, that she harassed him with constant re proaches of their birth." Marylka and Charles Modjeskl, the two younger children, who accom panied Mrs. Modjeskl on her last two trips to Europe and who are now with her in Chicago, filed depositions in Portland yesterday collaborating with their mother. ,-, ; r- ' 'l I I II HIMlll'M giUfTflVl nllMnWfn IMPERIAL BAST TROUPE WHO ARE-'"MAKIIfa FIRST APPEAR aNGE IN PORTLAND. Russia stands pre-eminent as a producer of masters and mistresses of the terpsichorean art, because dancing in the land of the Steppes Is a national institution, and the children find that to trip the light fantastic is among the kindergarten lessons.

CANA L STIRS EAST Millions to Be Spent to Get to Pacific Markets. SIX BOATS IN NEW LINE EX C. King Says Vessels Costing About $800,000 Each Will Make No At lantic Stops but Corns to West Coast by Waterways. "The people in the East are more enthusiastic over the possibilities of the Panama Canal than the Western people," said E. C. King, of the "West ern Cooperage Company, yesterday. Mr. 'King has just returned from a two months' trip in the East, where he went to extend the market for his com pany through the agency of the Pana ma Canal. "They are making more extensive preparations for the opening of the canal and counting on it as meaning an outlet, not only for the goods of Eastern manufacturers, but for getting the Pacific Coast products, particularly lumber, back there.

(Special) In accordance with the custom of many years past, the annual Pioneers' Reunion of Douglas County will be held at Olalla this month. Elaborate preparations are being made for the event and It la expected that several Examination Ordered by Board and Eligible WU1 Be Advaneed la Order of Rating Acquired.- ' Positions of sergeants la the police department, which for years have been hald out of civil service jurisdiction, apparently for political reasons, are to become civil service positions. Arrange ments have been made for holding an examination as soon aa possible to get an eligible list from which perma nent appointments will be made. The action will mean, in all probability, a large-sized shake-up in the circles of higher-ups in policedom. For many years appointments of po. lice sergeants have been made by the Mayor without civil service examina tions being held, in spite of the fact that examinations were necessary un der the civil service regulations. The positions In the past have been handed out as political favors In many cases. Under the ruling of the present civil service board an examination will be held and appointments will be made according to ratings. ALFALFA CROP IS SHORT - Farmers In Baker County Jubilant Oxer Recent Rains. BAKER, Or., July 7. (Special) Farmers -la all parts of Baker County Seth Pneatoa Says Habltaea mt Old Denny's Place Freonent Resort - Where He Was Arrested. The liquor privileges of the Tannen- see Grill, on Fourth and Madison streets, will be at stake this morning at 10 o'clock, when the City Commis sion meets to hear evidence agalnBt the place.

Judge Morrow Declares That Subse quent Violators of Law of 1864 Will Faro Far Worse. O. F. Darling, president of the In vestors' Building & Trust Company, was fined $100 by Circuit Judge Mor row yesterday. DaTling was convicted on a charge of publishing a false fi nancial statement of his company. The defendant was convicted for a violation of a statute enacted in 1861," said Judge Morrow in passing sentence yesterday, "that was 'half a century ago. Since then no effort was made to prosecute violations and there were many, and then suddenly to indict this man on a charge of committing a mis demeanor that everybody else was do ing, on a law which had not been en forced, is not just. I am going to fine Darling $100, but it need not be taken as a criterion for those who fol low in his wake. The next case of this nature which comes before this court will receive a much heavier sen tence, I assure you." Darling was convicted Wednesday. It is alleged that he included in his asset statement thousands of dollars which had been expended for promo tion purposes and which could never be recovered by the concern. The minimum sentence for violations of this law is a fins of $50 or three months in jail, and the .maximum is one year In jail or a fine of $1000, or both. 3 INDICTMENTS DISMISSED Thomas Molesworth, Moy Ham and Joe Mossl Xow Uncharged.

Hay had been cut on virtually every farm on July 1, when the rains began, and turning and drying did lit tle good, as the rains came at Inter vals of two days, wetting the -hay as fast as it dried. Alfalfa and wild hay both have been ruined and the loss is a severe one to the farmers. Eagle Valley, Pine Valley, Burnt River Valley and the Powder River Valley report the same conditions. It Is believed the hay crop will be from 15 to 20 per cent below early esti mates, but, on the other hand, grain- raisers are Jubilant over conditions, as the grain harvest yet is far away and the rains have been coming In the best growing season, while ordinarily the farmers have been compelled to use dry-farming methods almost entirely. Some grain fields have been flat tened by waterspouts, but these are only In limited areas and the general condition of the growing grain -orop is rated, as far above the average.
