MARITAL STRIFE RELATED Man Snjs Business Was Hurt, Fi nances Involved and Home Kept in Turmoil by Alleged Acts, Which Are Cited. Dr. Emmet Drake, the Portland dentist whose wife recently began suit for divorce, filed his answer and cross complaint yesterday, enumerating 17 reasons why the divorce . should be granted him instead of to Mrs. Drake. In the first place, he alleges, his present wife married him merely be cause she thought he was rich and could build a magnificent home for her. The other reasons set forth in his .cross-complaint are as follows: Second He was abused by his wife tor not getting new furniture for his home. Third Mrs. Drake was subject to tantrums and hysterical attacks. At night she would work herself up to such a pitch that she would throw open the windows, cry for help, rush out the door into the yard in her night clothes, fall on the ground and scream, Tintil neighbors would assist her hus band in taking her back in the house. Fourth In order to humiliate her husband Mrs. Drake would take neigh bors through their home, showing the fcinall amount of provisions and furni ture provided, and she would talk about his being stingy and petty. fifth She nagged him about grocery bills. Sixth She is extravagant. Seventh She encouraged her sons by a. former marriage to be disobedient. Eighth She abused Dr. Drake con ' tinually. Ninth She would have hysterical fits li downtown stores, making it neces sary for Dr. Drake to leave his pa tients, call a taxicab for her and take her home. Sw Home Displeases. ' Tenth She hounded and nagged Dr. I rake to build a new home. After borrowing more than $4500 he finally built a home in Rose City Park, but it did not please his wife. She found many petty defects in the house, and did not hesitate to tell her husband about them. ljleventh She has never at any time bf en satisfied with anything that he has done. Twelfth She has shown no affection for Dr. Drake and has spoken often ol divorce, but he always opposed it, de siring to keep his home intact because of their child, Phyllis, aged 3. Thirteenth She wore old, worn-out clothing to his office, though he pro tested and asked her to wear better clothes,' in order to create sympathy for herself and to prejudice others against her husband. fourteenth She has no affection for their daughter. Fifteenth Her extreme extravagance has kept her husband in debt, and her gossiping about him has greatly in jured his practice. ' Sixteenth She caused him to be humiliated by dunning creditors. Seventeenth He has been sued for bills, his taxes are unpaid, a. me chanic's lien has been foreclosed on his property, and the interest on the mortgage on his home has not been paid for more than a year. Sons Complained Of. Mrs. Emma Drake was divorced from Percy Walton in Clackamas County, and brought her two sons, 10 and 12 years old, to live with her when she married Dr. Drake in Portland, Septem ber 7, 1911. In answer to her accusa tion of dislike for her children, Dr. Drake alleges that they were saucy, unruly, impudent and lazy, and that the eldest kept very late hours and would not explain his absences. In reply to the accusation that he had allowed his wife and child to go about virtually in rags. Dr. Drake as serts that he furnished them with suit able clothing at all times, contending that any castoff clothing worn by their daughter was an exchange between Mrs. Drake and her relatives, wherein they received twice the amount in value from Mrs. Drake for what was given for the child. His wife contracted many unneces sary medical expenses, he charges, and alleges that when he was secretary of the Kose Festival Association and drsirous of attending the Pendleton Hound-Up, his wife became very angry because he thought her too ill to go, and became hysterical so that he was forced to stay home with her. Attorneys C. M. Idleman and S. C. Spencer appear for Dr. Drake.

The funeral arrangements will be completed on the arrival of her . daughter, Mrs. Ed L. Clark, from Los Angeles. Mrs. Morrison was born in New York in 1862. She had been a resident of Portland for more than 30 years. The body is at J. P. Finley & Son's parlors. Forty-second street and Broadway last night. She wore heavy green goggles and across her chest was a large sign, reading, "I am blind." The theater crowds parted as they passed her because she had taken the middle of the sidewalk for her post, and frequently a man or a woman in even ing dress stopped and dropped a coin in the tin cup on the organ. Detective Callaghan, of the Mendi cancy Squad, watched her for half an hour, and from the way she looked at the coins dropped into the cup he gath ered the Idea she was not blind and ar rested her. She called on the halting crowds for Sympathy and got it. Callaghan was roundly abused, but he took her to the West Forty-seventh sta tion, and there Lieutenant Clarkin or dered her to remove the green goggles. She could see as good as anyone and, instead of being bent and aged, she really was stalwart and not more than 40. She said she was Mrs. Sarah Schafcher, of 137 Norfolk street. She had gathered in 12 or J13 in the two hours she had been at Broadway and Forty-second street.
