OTHER WOMEN MENTIONED
Girl Testifies She Ceased Visits to
Father "When She Saw Mother's
Place In His Home Usurped,,
by Women Sne .Met.
CftlCAGO, April 6. (Special.) An
Intensely dramatic scene occurred in
Judge McKinley's court today, when
Hiss Marylla Modjeska broke down
when she started to translate a
letter written to her while she was In
Paris in 1911 by her father, Ralph
Modjeski, wealthy civil engineer, who
formerly residpd in Portland, Or., and
son of JIme. Modjeska, famous Polish
actress.
Miss Modjeska. was testifying1 at the
hearing of the suit of her mother, Mrs,
Felicia Modjeska, for separate main
tenance. Afttr translating a few words, which
pave the spectators in court no idea of
the text of the letter. Miss Modjeska
broke into a violent fit of weeping and
was unable to finish. The contents of
the letter which had caused the flood
of tears remained a mystery.
Miss Modjeska gave testimony tend
ing to disprove the assertion of her
father that her mother left him and
that he did not leave her. The girl
told of frequent visits to her father at
his office and at an apartment, where,
it is contended by counsel for Mrs.
Modjeska. he was living with Lillian
Koempeld, a violinist, who at one time
was a teacher of her younger brother,
Charles.
Daughter Meets Two Women.
Attorneys for Mrs. Modjeska base
their suit for separate maintenance on
the charge that Modjeski resided In the
flat, for which a high rent was paid,
while his wife lived alone in a much
lower-priced apartment at Forty-third
street and Grand boulevard.
Miss Modjeska broke down and wept
again when asked why she only made
two visits to the apartment to see her
father.
"I was introduced there to Miss
Roempeld and to a Mrs. Sadowska,"
she said, "and I could not go back o a
place where those ladies were usurping
the rights of my mother."
In answer to the apartment charge,
counsel for Modjeski asserted that a
cloud had been thrown over Mr.
Modjeski's birth by the wife in a letter
written to their son, Felix, in Califor
nia. The charge made by Frank H. Scott,
attorney for Mr. Modjeski, brought a
quick reply from Henry M.N Guerin,
counsel for Mrs. Modjeska.
Wife Admits Telllnc Son.
"We admit that Mrs. Modjeska told
her son that fact," he said, "but It was
only after the father and mother agreed
that he should be told."
Mrs. Modjeska identified several let
ters written to her by her husband.
She will take the stand again tomor
row.
An employe of John A. Ca'rroll &
Bro., real estate dealers, was called on
to identify a lease drawn between P. J.
Laulen, owner of an apartment building
at 5455 Hyde Park avenue, and Lillian
Roempeld, under which the latter rent
ed an apartment on the thrd floor at
$110 a month. Mr. Modjeski. it was
shown, was the guarantor on the lease.

RUSH SELLING COMPELLED
Change in Buying Hour From 8 to
1 1 o'clock Causes ljosses Total
ing $2,500,000 Annually,
Sub-Committee Is Told.
"WASHINGTON. April 5. H(W Jive
stock producers are losing more than
$2,500,000 a year through natural
shrinkage In cattle and an untold
amount through alleged stifled compe
tition due to the packers postponing
the buying hour in the yards from 8 to
11 o'clock in the morning was described
by Edward L. Burke, of Omaha, today
to the House sub-committee consider
ing the- Borland resolution to Investi
gate the packers for violation of the
anti-trust laws. Mr. Burke represented
the American National Livestock Asso
ciation. ,
The average steer will lose from 15
to 20 pounds during the three hours he
is forced to stand In the yards as a re
sult of the change In selling time, Mr.
Burke estimated, and he pointed ou.
that as the closing time for scales re
mained at 3 P. M., as formerly, pro
ducers must sell hurriedly once tie
buying started or hold their stock un
til the following day.
Because of the short selling time,
it was declared. It is not unusual fo
raisers to be compelled to hold thei
stock until the following day and thn
be forced Into a low market.
Arthur Meeker, vice-president oi
Armour & Co., interrupted to say tha
he could explain the cause of the post
ponement of the buying hour. One rea
son, he said, was that Federal lis
spectors were causing delay by ex
amining every steer for foot and mouth
disease. Mr. Burke responded th2t
such examinations were not being made
now.
As Mr. Burke explained the eitva
ti.on, the stock is in the pens and for
sale before 8 o'clock. During the n-xt
three hours a few independent buyerr
appear. but the buyers for the larg"
packing companies do not begin bidding
until 11 o'clock. Then they appear

TAB KEPT ON SPENDTHRIFT
Sister Retained Guardian of Arthur
Coach, One Heir to $200,000.
MARSHFIELD, Or., April 5. (Spe
cial.) In a decision rendered by Judge
John S.' Coke, of the Coos County Cir
cuit Court, Mary E. Cary, is continued
as guardian of her brother, Arthur
Coach, who was placed under her guar
dianship as a spendthrift. The guar
dianship has been in effect for the past
18 months, and was brought about
through the statement of Mrs. Cary
that her brother was an incompetent
and not capable of caring for bia busi
ness affairs.
In the proceedings which established
the guardianship it was shown that
Arthur Coach had dissipated a. large
share of the fortune left him by his
father. Colonel Joseph Coach, who die1
about five years ago. There were three
heirs to the Colonel Coach property,
those mentioned, and a brother, Jo
seph Coach, whose home is at Lampa
Creek, in this county. The value of the
property, which was ranch and timber
lands, was more than $200,000.

MONTANA FIGHT WATCHED
Several Senators Who Were for
Colonel Roosevelt in 1913 Are
Indorsing Mr. Sherman's Act
in Quitting Contest.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 5. Politicians in Wash
ington, irrespective of party, are keenly
interested in the Republican Presiden
tial primary campaign in Montana, and
are disposed to attach unueual signiti
cance to the result, notwithstanding
Montana will have but eight delegates
at Chicago.
Attention first centered on the Mon
tana Republican contest when ex-Senator
Dixon, Colonel Roosevelt's cam
paign manager in 1912, announced him
self a candidate for delegate-at-large.
More interest was added when Sena
tor Sherman, of Illinois, withdrew from
the Montana field, leaving it to Sena
tor Cummins and Colonel Roosevelt.
Senator Sherman's action is the di
rect result of an agreement entered
Into by the Progressive Republicans of
the Senate two months ago. under
which only one Progressive Republi
can will be a candidate for delegate
in any one state.
The most interesting phase of the
Montana contest, as it is viewed in
Washington, is that the Progressive
Republicans, by agreement, are back
ing Mr. Cummins for preferment in
the Montana primaries, but by reason
of the course of events they are back
ing Mr. Cummins' against Colonel
Roosevelt, whom several of them sup
ported in 1312. For instance. Senator
Poindexter, Senator Clapp, Senator
Norris, fcenator Cummins and Senator
Kenyon were all ardent Roosevelt men
in 1912. though some did not openly
work for him after the Chicago break.
Under the Washington agreement these
Senators and others are now backing
Mr. Cummins in Montana.
The fact that Senator Sherman has
withdrawn in favor of Senator Cum
mins, and the further fact that this ac
tion seems to be indorsed by other Pro
gressive Republican Senators in the
agreement, is the first formal indica
tion that the Progressive Republican
Senators are not desirous of aiding in
bringing about the nomination of Colo
nel Roosevelt.

strike out the word "lawyers,", and in
a brief but facetious speech said he
was seeking to protect American law
yers against competition from the
"cheap lawyers" of the Orient.
He said there was no crying need for
more lawyers in this country, that the
market was already overstocked, and he
suggested that the lawyers organize
and get behind his amendment, "be
cause an influx of lawyers from for
eign countries will undoubtedly reduce
the price of fees in the United States."

Mr. Moore, and he was frequently in

of the Moore amendment.
