of 3-Vear-OId Daughter.
T3r. Emmett Drake, a practicing den
tiet of Portland for a. quarter of a. cen
tury, is defendant in a divorce action
filed in the Circuit Court by Mrs.
imma Drake yesterday.
He wanted to teach her sons to be
come prize-figrhters.
He has an ungovernable temper.
He refused to pay the physician at
tending her during- an extended ill
ness. He brought his helpless and testy
father to live with them and permitted
him to abuse her verbally.
He was penurious, forcing her to
wear shabby clothes, while going about
well-dressed himself.
The foregoing are allegations set
forth in Mrs. Drake's complaint, in
which she prays for separation, ali
mony of J100 a -month, court costs of
J300, one-third of Dr. Drake's valuable
real estate holdings, and the custody
of their daughter, 3-year-old Phyllis
Drake.
Boys Taught -to Fight, She Saya.
Dr. and Mrs. Drake were married in
Portland September 7," 1911. Mrs.
Drake had two sons, one of 10 and the
other of 12 years, by a previous mar
riage, and Dr. Drake had a boy of 1,6
years.
Within 10 months after marriage,
sets forth the complaint, the alleged
abuses began. He disliked the plaint
iff's two boys, it recounts, and beat
and shamed them in the presence of
others. He said that she did not know
how to raise children and that the
boys should be taught to fight and to
become prize-fighters "and has and is
attempting to instill in the minds of
the children a quarrelsome and pugna
cious disposition."
Dr. Drake has an uncontrollable tem
per and treated her harshly, said Mrs.
Drake. She also accuses him of ma
ligning her sister, who came to -nurse
lier during an Illness, at their home.
533 East Fifty-ninth street North. He
charged that he was being made to
support the sister, it appears.
Judemrnt Obtained by Physician.
She and her daughter, Phyllis, have
been forced to wear cast-off clothing,
alleges Mrs. Drake, while her husband
denies himself nothing in the way of
rtress. He made light of her serious
illness, she contends, and refused to
furnish her with the services of a
physician. She finally secured Dr.
.Agnes Brown, but he refused to pay
the doctor and a Judgment was ob
tained against him in the Circuit.Court
last r eoruary.
After the birti of their child. Dr.
Drake brought his father to their home
to live, alleges Mrs. Drake. Her fath
er-in-law is 70 years old. entirely helb
less, irritable and possessed of an un
lovely temper, set forth the complain
ant, who further said that he needed
her constant attention.
Kathcr-in-Law Threatened.
On one occasion the father of the de
fendant told her in Dr. Drake's pres
ence that he would get a club and beat
her brains out, alleges Mrs. Drake,
without protest being made by her
husband.
Thirty-two lots in ' Syndicate Addi
tion to East Portland, two lots in
Cedar Hill and lot 16, block 31, of West
Portland, are owned by Dr. Drake, of
which property Mrs. Drake desires

faid to be familiar with every trail and
waterhole in that part of Mexico.
The work of the scouts, it was ex
pected, would be supplemented by the
aviators, six of whom have arrived at
Casas Grandes. Dieutenant T. R.
Bowen, who fell with his machine on
the flight from the border to Casas
Grandes, was only slightly injured, ac
cording to an official report to General
Funston.
It was said to day at General Fun
fton's headuarters that no report from
General Pershing regarding the opera
tions against Villa south of Casas
Grandes was received today. Unofficial
reports regarding Villa's fight with
Carranza forces at Cruces and Nami
quipa, south of Galeana, were vague
and contradictory. Whether the Amer
ican column of cavalry that was ad
vancing southward on the trail leading
to Cruces encountered Villa was merely
a guess at headquarters.
RORDEIt TOSIO.V CONTINUES
Reports of Disaffection in Carran-
za's I-'orces Are Credited.
ED PASO. Tex., March 21. In the
absence of any news from either Gen
eral Pershing or General Gavira, there
was nothing left but conjecture as to
the result of the fighting between
Villa and the Carranrtstas, which- wa.s
Kaid to have occurred near Namiqnipa.

Physicians are baffled by St. Vitus'

Wrong with the nervous system.
Long before the child becomes awkward
end begins dropping things there is a
period in which the appetite is fickle and
the patient is tired and listless. The
jerking movements characteristic of the
disease come much later.
In the early etages a good tonic for the
blood and nerves will go far toward pre
venting the development of the disease.
But the tonic must be free from alcohol
and opiates fortbese make the nervous
condition worse. "When your child ap
pears listless, prefers to sit and read
rather than go out and play and requires
entirely too much time to get his or her
lessons, give a course of treatment with
Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They cannot

These pills build up the blood, nourish
the starved nerves and improve the gen

orders,!.' '
I
There was a strong belief here that
Villa was not personally Involved- in
whatever fighting had occurred.
If it is true that Villa has clashed at
Namiquipa with Crfrranza troops in 8
general battle. In which he has been
defeated, it appears highly probable
that by this time his followers have
come in contact with the American col
umns. The advance guard of the Amer
icans was reported, yesterday at El
Valle, only 35 miles from Namiquipa.
It is not believed, however, that Villa
would risk an open fight with General
Pershing's troops.
In spite of reassuring reports from
Washington, there was no lessening to
day in the tension ' along the ' border
and no weakening in the freely, ex
pressed belief that , there was serious
disaffection among the Carranza troops.
Other developments today indicated
that the American military authorities
here consider the situation along the
border as far from satisfactory. On the
advice of Captain Moses, commander of
the. cavnlry troop at Fabens, 30 miles
west of here. Dr. Charles R. Ricker,-the
medical officer with the troop, sent his
wife and family to El Paso. They were
followed by five other American women
residents, including the two school
teachers, who closed the local school.
Captain Moses said, however, that he
had experienced no trouble and did not
expect any.
Texas rangers and the cavalry pa
trols have begun a roundup of Mexi
cans along the frontier who are sus
pected of being Villistaa and of being
engaged in the smuggling of ammuni
tion across the Rio Grande, a practice
that is admittedly going on. Seven were
sent Into El Paso today from eastern
frontier villages and five have been ar
rested at Ysleta, 12 miles east of here.
At the latter place the civilian resi
dents say that the customs officials
and rangers discovered a plot to ship
rapid-fire guns across the border. Ar
rests were made.
In the meantime the situation in
Sonora becomes increasingly serious,
due to the action of Military Governor
Calles, who is Said to have entered upon
a campaign to drive from the state all
persons connected in any way with the
"Cientif icos," or old Diaz party. The
gravest feature of his actions Is in their
possible effect on American and other
foreign interests. His demand that the
La Colorado Mining Company of New
Tork reopen its mines at Herrhosillo
has been followed by a decree canceling
all concessions granted in the Huerta
and Villa regimes. This decree will af
fect many mining companies, public
utilities corporations and other con
cerns which Americans and other for
eigners either control or are interested
in. At the same time he has ordered
all Catholic clergy from the state.

"Were Too Large for 25-20 Wea
pon I7ed by Lawrence,
' . .
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., March 21.
(Special.) The chief effort of the de
fense Vday in- "the case of the state
against A. Ernest Lawrence, who Is on
trial In Circuit Court here charged with
the murder of Mrs. Alma Kuehne in
tho-Dodd Hollow feud December 20,
1915, was to get into evidence the story
of the shooting as related to several
witnesses by Mrs. Guy Hunter several
hours after the trouble occurred.
.. This, however, was strenuously.' ob
jected to by the attorneys for the pros
ecution and was ruled out in each in
stance by the court.
The defense also introduced a aeries
of 10 photographs, taken at the scene
of the shooting immediately after
wards. A large plat accompanied the
photographs, upon which the scene of
each picture was noted.
By this series of pictures and. man
the defense attempted to show also that
it was possible for Andrew Kuehne to
have shot his own mother- duriner the
battle, while firing in the direction nf
Lawrence. One of the most important")
witnesses called today, as judged by
nis testimony, was Dr. K. R. Hamilton
who -examined Sirs. Kuehne's woundf
after she had died and testified today
mat tne noie in her body was too large
to have been made by a 25-20 bullet.
He declared the wound instead was
one such as could have been produced
bythe .82 special, known to have been
used by young Kuehne in firing from
the plowed field toward the house.
Dr. Hamilton was cross-examined ex
tensively by the state as to the effect
or partly spent or slowly moving bul
lets as compared with high-power bul
lets and testified at length as a result
of experience acquired in army service.

EDITH MOTE MYSTERY TO PATRONS

Actress In Enabled to lion Com
pletely Different Attire.
"Many persons, especially men, have
the idea that a woman requires a lot of
time, an unusual amount of time I
might say, to dress or change her cos
tume," remarks charming Kdith Mote.
"That might have some truth about it
in some instances, but it does not mean
that a woman cannot change her cos
tume, mighty speedily if need be, and
what is more, do it in perfect manner."
Miss -Mote not only says that, but
proves it. She appears in a song nov
elty act in the. present delightful vaude
ville show at the Sullivan & Consldine
Empress Theater, in which she has oc
casion to make frequent changes of
costume. And the way she does so is
a startling example of costume-changing
speed. Miss Mote, attired in a
handsome ball gown, steps behind a
velvet curtain and immediately steps
out again in entirely different cos
tume. Time and again she does that.
"I know how that is done," declared
a woman patron at one of the shows
at the Empress Theater last night.
"There are two women. ii this act and
they look almost alike, but there is a
difference, and I can tell it by looking
closely."
Hut this woman's surmise is not cor
rect. There is only one Kdith Mote in
the act. "My costumes are all the reg
ulation ball cosjUimes," declared Miss
Mote, "and -not- ? trick costume, and
any woman may, with ' the proper
amount of practice, learn to change her
gown rapidly.

Civilian Scouts Lead Small Detach
ments Into Wilderness, and Other
Aeroplanes Are Believed
Engaged in Search.
COLUMBUS, N. M., March 21. Two
Lieutenants of the First Aero Squad
ron are lost somewhere in the desert
foothills of the Sierra Madre with
about three days' rations apd two small
canteens of water between them and
starvation, Jt was officially made pub
lic at military headquarters here to
night. Army officers do not credit re
ports in Columbus that the two Lieu
tenants may have fallen victims of sni
pers. Radio advices to Major W. R. Sample,
commandant here, received today from
Captain B. D. Foulois at Casas Grandes,
commanding the aero corps, reported
that Lieutenant Robert H. Willis and
Lieutenant Edgar S. Gorrell, who left
here last Sunday, each on an Army aero
plane, had failed to arrive. at the ad
vanced base and that no reports had
been received. Immediately instruc
tions were issued to drivers of every
motor truck leaving here to watch for
traces of the missing men and their
planes. It is believed also that some of
the six aeroplanes which arrived safe
at Casas Grandes are being employed
in the search. -
Planes Detached From Squadron.
The eight planes started from here
late Sunday for the flight over 110
miles of desert and mountains through
the Casas Grandes Valley to join, the
expeditionary force. Neither was ac
companied by a mechanician or an ob
server and ehortly after the flight be
gan the two planes were detached from
the others. Nothing has been heard
from either since.
Army men admitted tonight that
with the two fliers 48 hours overdue
at Casas Grandes, there is much con
cern for their safety.
It was pointed out that Lieutenant
W. "7. Kilner, who started with -one of
the planes Sunday, was forced to re
turn he,re after flying only a dozen
miles over the Mexican border. After
trifling repairs he again started and
reached the advanced base safely. It
also -was pointed out that it is possible
that in landing in the -rocky region
over which they were to fly their
planes might have been wrecked and
that the two officers may now be
struggling to make their way lo some
settlement.
Scouts Lead Search Forties.
Reports reaching here Indicate that
the civilian scouts accompanying the
punitive expedition were leading small
detachments of cavalry into the wildest
parts, of the district in the search for
the two Lieutenants. Army men here
said tonight that every effort would
be made to expedite the search, since
the men carried only food enough for
a few days and that both this and
theirwater supply may have been lost
if their machines were wrecked.
Considerable hope was based on the
fact' that both men are athletes and
are well able to care for themselves in
emergencies. Lieutenant Willis is 26
years old and was appointed to the
Army from South Carolina, while
Lieutenant Gorrell is 24 and was ap
pointed from Maryland. Both took
part in the recent flights of Army
planes from Fort Sill. Okla.

Illlles Will Not Discuss Name. .
Mr. Hilles refused to discuss the
names of those presented to the com
mittee as possible selections for tem
porary chairman. Mr. Knox was urged
for the temporary chairmanship on the
argriment that he would be the most
acceptable to the Progressives of any
of the old-line Republicans. While a
close friend of Mr. Taft, Mr. Knox was
Attorney-General in part of President
Roosevelt's term and within the last
two years has spoken in praise of
Roosevelt.
Representative Mann, of Chicago. Re
publican leader in the House of Rep
resentatives, also was considered a pos
sibility. Strong opposition to the nom
ination of Mr. Mann developed in the
Eastern delegation, those who opposed
him declaring that, as he is a Chicago
an, he might be influenced by local
conditions and opportunities.
WILLIAMS MAKES FORECAST
Harding or Mann Frobable, Though
i ,fot Personal Choice.
Warren G. Harding, junior United
States Senator from Ohio, or James R.
Mann, minority leader in the lowes
house of Congress, may be thie tempo
rary chairman of the Republican Na
tional Convention in Chicago next June,
This is the intelligence transmitted
in a telegram yesterday by Ralph E.
Williams, Republican National commit
teeman from Oregon, who attended the
subcommittee meeting in Chicago, to
W. B. Ayer in Portland.
Mr. Williams also declared, in his
message, that Theodore Roosevelt in
the estimation of the subcommittee,
had no chance of nomination or elec
tion as President. .
If the subcommittee chooses either
Senator Harding or Representative
Mann as temporary chairman it will be
contrary to Mr. Williams' personal
wishes. When he left Portland a week
go he asserted that he would favor
Senator Borah, of Idaho, for the tem
porary chairmanship. Mr. Williams is
eager to make concessions to the Pro
gressives who left the party four years
ago. While he was quoted in some
quarters as favoring Colonel Roosevelt
for President, what he said in that con
nection was that he would gladly sup
port Colonel Roosevelt if it were ap
parent that the people wanted him. His
message yesterday, however, confirmed
his prevous utterances expressing
doubts of Colonel Roosevelt s nomination.

OREGON ELECTRIC . CONSIDERS
'BVILDIJfO AT SPRINGFIELD.
Heavy Movement ot Lumber Draws
Attention of Officials, and Booth
Kelly Company I Eager.
Extension of the Oregon Electric
Railway from Eugene to Springfield, a
distance of about four miles, is a prob
ability of the coming Srimmer.
Officials tf the" Oregon Electric have
been considering this improvement
seriously for the last three or four
months. If the present activity in the
lumber market continues, it is likely
thatAho extension' will be authorized
within a short time.
Two or three surveys have been
made.
The desire of the Oregon Electric
people to extend into Springfield is
caused by the heavy movement of lum
ber out of the Booth-Kelly mill at
Springfield. At present this mill Is
served exclusively by the Southern iPa
cific. During the recent car shortage
a carload or more of finished lumber
was hauled every day from Springfield
to Eugene by motortruck and loaded otn
Oregon Electrie cars.
It is understood that the Booth-Kelly
officials are eager for the extension, as
this would provide them with compe
tition in railroad service and would ex
tend their markets to the territory
served by the Oregon Electric's parent
lines the Nprthern Pacific and Great
Northern. - "

ILLICIT GAMES CHARGED
Evangelist Says He Has Observed
Gambling in Back Rooms.
A t Centenary Methodist Church last
night Evangelist Jack Godwin spoke
from the subject "On the Road to
Hell," which was the name of a saloon
he conducted in Montana many years
ago.
Mr. Godwin repeated what he has
said several times that Portland has
less vice than any other city in the

This treatment is said to have
acquired a wonderful reputation
throughout the East, owing to its
peculiar propensity to fortify the
nerve force and generate health
and a consequent personal mag
netism, so essential to the happi
ness of every normal human be
ing. It is claimed to be a bless
ing to those who are physically
impaired, gloomy, despondent,
nervous or who have trembling
of the limbs, dizziness, heart pal
pitation, cold hands and feet, in
somnia, fear without cause, tim
idity in venturing and general
inability to act rationally as
others do. Also of vast benefit to
writers, professional men, office
workers and the victims of so
ciety's late hours and over-indulgence
in wines, liquors, etc.
By obtaining the treatment at
some well - equipped pharmacy no
one need know of another's trou
ble, while the treatment has been
widely prescribed and dispensed
heretofore by physicians and
pharmacists. The grain tablets
are so prepared with full direc
tions for self administration that
it is wholly unneoessnry to
pay a physician for prescribing
them. Just ask for three-grain
Cadomene tablets, begin their
use and soon all the joy of a,
healthy body, sound nerves and
strength will be felt.
