E. CLARK PLEADS FOR REDUC TION OF FUND ALLOWED WIFE. Violation of Contract Made at Time of Dlveree Aliened by Plaintiff Af fidavits Support Motion. Actins" as counsel for A E. Clark. Attorney John F. Logan filed a motion in the case of Alfred E. versus Marcella Clark yesterday.' asking that the di vorce decree recently granted him be modified and that the allowance made to the defendant of $150 a month and $40 additional as house rent be dis missed. It is alleged that Marcella Clark has failed to keep the conditions of the contract signed at the time the divorce was granted, which was a con dition of the decree. A list of alleged violations of the agreement Is submit ted In an affidavit by Mr. Clark. A number of affidavits made by R. E. Brown, a brother of Mrs. Clark, close friends and attorneys, besides that of Mr. Clark and another by John F. Lo gan, his counsel, were filed yesterday in support of the motion. An answer was filed yesterday by District Attorney Evans to the suit brought against him by Mrs. Clark, in which $125,000 damages are asked, and & denial is made of practically all the allegations set forth. R. E. Brown, in his affidavit, taken at his home at Mankato, Minn., says he came to Portland upon his sister's re quest and familiarized himself with her affairs in the effort to be helpful in adjusting her difficulties. He says the arrangement with her husband seemed to him the best that could be made and that Mrs. Clark signed the contract ar ranging the settlement voluntarily. Emma B. Carroll, a close friend of Mrs. Clark, sets forth that Mrs. Clark signed the contract of settlement vol untarily. The affiant was one of the witnesses to the signature. It is ab surd, she asserts, to say there was aojf intimidation. W. P. Richardson, who acted as at torney for Mrs. Clark when the divorce action was brought against her, also has made an affidavit corroborating the statements of the other affiants. Leroy Lomax, also counsel for Mrs. Clark, declares he advised his client that the settlement proposed by her husband was much more to her interest than any that could be expected to be granted by the court and that her in terests were safeguarded fully in the adjustment that was made.

Unanimous Republican Support of Nominees Predicted by R. H. Hosa, Bandon. "Eggs from China and New Zealand butter are not leaving good taste In the mouths of the people of Coos and Curry counties, who have had Just about all they want of Democratic free trade," said R. H. Rosa, of Bandon, at the Imperial Hotel yesterday. "Two-thirds of the voters in my section of the state are registered as Republicans, and the November election will find the same proportion of the electors supporting thb Republican nominees." Mr. Rosa was for about 30 years en gaged in the lumber business in the Coos Bay country and, accompanied by Mrs. Rosa, Is In Portland on his way to Chicago and other Eastern cltlss. In cluding; the principal points of Interest In Canada. He predicts that the Re publicans In the two Southwestern Oregon counties will glvo unanimous support to Republican nominees In the Fall election. "This is particularly true in the case of R. A Booth for United States Sen ator and Dr. Wlthycombe for -Governor," commented Mr. Rosa. "Thero will be some contests for a few of the minor county offices, but Booth and Wlthycombe are assured of the loyal support of their party. No doubt ex ists but that each will recelvo the usual Republican plurality. "Lumber manufacturing and dairying are the principal industries In Coos and Curry counties. But under the Administration's free trad policy, which permits wholesale importations of eggs, butter, shingles and other lumber products from Canada, Chins, New Zealand and other foreign lands, our people are beginning to reallso that their home market is being im paired."
