Ryman willed that Dayton Ryman should re ceive only the income of her $20,000 estate, until such time as he secured a divorce from Nellie Ryman, or his wife died. Action to break the will was be gun ysterday in the County Court by Ryman. In her will, Mrs. Ryman set forth that Bhe gave her property into the care of the Portland Trust & .Savings Bank, to be held for her son for the express purpose that her daughter-in-law "should not receive a penny." She said that the young' woman had not treated -her as she deemed she should have been treated by a daughter-in-law. Insane Jealousy Charged. His mother was insanely jealous when she made this will.' charges Ry man, in the petition filed by Attorneys Malarkey, Seabrook & Dibble. The dead woman was under the delusion that she had been mistreated by his wife, asserts Ryman. The will was to prevent Mrs. Ryman or her people from participating in the estate, and the de sire was expressed that Ryman would co use the income of the estate that his wife will not enjoy it. The mother died May 21, 1915. The will, filed May 28, 1915, provided that the Tortland Trust & Savings Bank was to act as trustee, of a life estate, and that the property at the death of Ryman was to go to Addice Garfield and LeRoy Garfield, niece and nephew of the dead woman, unless Mrs. Ryman died or was divorced from her husband. Ryman sets forth in his petition that after the death of his father- he lived with his mother for a long while, and up to the time of his marriage, which was delayed out of love for his mother. He maintains that his mother had no particle of affection for her niece or nephew, and that the extraordinary will was the result of an insane delu sion of ill-treatment at the hands of the daughter-in-law. Erratic Conduct Related. To carry out his contention that his mother was insane at the time the will was drawn, Ryman tells of erratic actions of the woman. She was fond of wandering alone in the early morn ing, he said, and was found at one time sitting alone on the steps of a church at an early hour. She frequently' asked people if they thought she was going crazy, he asserts, and often wandered in her conversation. The dead woman also had a habit of having her horoscope read, and of con sulting fortune tellers with a view to finding out when her son's wife would die, charges her son. The. petition asks that the will be declared invalid, that Mrs. Ryman he adjudged to have . died intestate, and that an administrator be appointed for the estate. County Judge Cleeton set the hour for a hearing at 9:30 A. M. June 7. CHRISTIANITY TRUST URGED John D., Jr.sProposes Forming Great Organization to Work for All. CLEVELAND, 6TMay 19. John D.

GEORGE BEBAN scores' a personal triumph in "Pasquale," a Moros-co-Paramount photodrama, which was flashed on the screen at the Peo ples Theater yesterday for a four-day engagement. "Pasquale" is a picture to touch the heart, possessing a sympa thetic appeal which takes the specta tor to that borderland between smiles and tears. Sacrifice and love the love for dumb animals as well as for human beings are the keynotes of the drama of the life of an Italian In far-away America. The storv presents Beban as a. hard- headed, email-town grocer, devoted to Julie, an orphan, and Colombo, his horse. Around Colombo Beban weaves the psychology of love for dumb ani mals, and around Julie psychology Just as keen, for Pasquale loves her, atnd silently shears his sorrow ' when she chooses to marry a worthless young man of the village. When the grocer, broken-hearted but strong in the loss of the ward he would make his wife, is tasting the dregs of snatterea pope, the long arm of the Italian government reaches across the sea and claims him for war against the Austrians. A number of realistic battle scenes, including some Alpine climbing, are introduced. Then the re servist is wounded, returns home to surprise the loved ones and discovers that his business is going to ruin, his horse a frame of mangy bones and his ward's dream of love rudely awakened. A euD-piot, introducing the Italian banker of the town, and his wife (Myr tle Stedman), who is Involved in an affair with a young society butterfly, is woven into the main story. The banker accompanies Pasquale to Eu rope, returns with him and turns his wife from his home when he discovers her inconstancy. An automobile smash- up, realistic in the extreme, kills un worthy husband and lover, and thus the two warriors reclaim their own. Paramount pictographs and a Brav cartoon comedy. "Bobbv Bumns and His Goat-mobile," conclude the bill. T & I) Theater. ' The week-end programme at th .T & D Theater will have a decided Billie Burke flavor, for Manager Leonhart announces that commencing today he will screen four reels of "Gloria's Ro mance," the million-dollar film novel starring the . "sunshine girl." This will include the opening chapter, "Lost in tne iuverglades," and . "Caught, by the Seminoles." The double Billie tturke bin will give those who did not see the Initial installment an op portunity to keep in closer touch with every development of a production which is hailed as the biggest of the year. Edna May, the "Belle of New Tork." former comic opera beauty, will con tinue throughout the week in "Sal vation Joan." a feature of exceptional strength. The story deals with life in the slums as well as in high society. Miss May appearing as a Salvation Army lassie, ministering to the needs of the masses, and as a wealthy woman or tne smart set, involved in a diplomatic Intrigue. An acquaint ance of the slums appears in the guise or a society man, but unmasks as a secret service man and saves the se crets of his country. The Frank Daniels comedy. "Mr. Jack. Doctor by Proxy," is another number of the bill, while special num hers by the big ten-piece orchestra win feature all films. Piekford- "The Half-Million Bride," with Hamilton Revelle vnd Marguerite snow as co-stars, is tne Metro "won- derplay," which will open at the Pick ford today. The story is one of mys tery, with a startling climax which forces the spectator to revise all previously-formed opinions of the leading cnaracters in tne plot. The drama is constructed about i half million dollars, given to a dis tnct attorney by a devoted wife. The district attorney promises that for this sum of money he will free the hus band, charged with murder. Chal loner, an idle society man, is charged with killing a prominent sportsman in a gambling house. The prosecutor se cures a conviction against Challoner and the wife exposes him, but her story is discredited. Then the pros ecutor secures the release of the con victed man, alleging mat be had a faked confession. The released man awakens to his responsibilities in life through the strength of the wife, and then comes the startling denouement. Columbia.

Hence, her performances rock the old family boat of wealth and tradition. Susan goes down into the slums, leases a building from a divekeeper, and is well on the "uplift path when she runs into a snag in the person of this same divekeeper, and is rescued by Larry O Neill. son of the ward's political boss who is not in sympathy with the girl's mission, but falls madly in love with her.

A remark, ablo feature was that the bones lay upon the ground in perrect human form, not having been disturbed by predatory animals. The authorities in Eugene were no tified.

Morris, who is now in business at Harrisburg, was notified. He came at once to Eugene, where he identified the skeleton by means of a watch, a lumberman's rule, a rifle of odd caliber, some coins, none of which bore a date later than 1898. and a knife with the insignia of the Woodmen of the World. The dead man had been a member of that order. There was also a beer check on a saloon formerly in business at Harrisburg. The identification was regarded as conclusive. The spot where the skeleton was found is about three and one-half miles from the point where the men had made their camp, at an almost in accessible point on the bank of Cash Creek.

Sanitary science has of late mad rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of its untiring: research Is the recommendation that It is as necessary to attend to Internal sanita tion of the drainage system of the hu man body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, .acid stom ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening: the sluices of th sys tem each morning and flushing: out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter. Kveryone. whether alllnar. sick or well, should each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In It to wash from the stom ach, liver and bowels the previous day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans at all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot wa ter Is quietly extracting a large vol ume of water from the blood and get ting ready for a thorough flushing of all the Inside organs. The millions of people who are both ered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatio stiffness: others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarto- pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is suffi cient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of Internal san itation. Adv.
