P. B. M'GRAKEN SUES
Divorce Asked After Wife's
Charges Are Aired.
NAGGING IS COMPLAINED OF
Husband Declares Domestic Infe
licity Ended in Scene Before
Friends In San Francisco
and Subsequent Desertion.
Mrs. Emma McCraken's suits in Cir
cuit and District courts against her
husband. Peter B. McCraken. were re
plied to yesterday by divorce proceed
ings. Constant nagging and scolding,
culminating in a scene before friends,
is set forth as one of. the grounds by
Mr. McCraken. and desertion Is the
other.
The charges in the complaint were
reviewed at some length In tne course
of the recent trial of Mr. McCraken
for non-support, in which his wife was
the complaining witness. The case leu
through and was dismissed, but not
before domestic troubles had been aired
In court.
The McCrakens were married In San
Francisco, April 7, 1913. Since Janu
arv 31. 1915. they hare not lived to
i gether. alleges tne complaint, a lew
months later the husband came to
Portland to work a a salesman for his
father. James R. McCraken. of the
McCraken Motor Car Company.
In his complaint filed yesterday Mr.
McCraken recites continual and al
most daily use of insulting, nagging
and scolding language, without reason
able cause, resulting. January 30, 1915,
in the use of profane and obscene epi
thets in the presence of mutual friends
in their San Francisco apartment. She
ordered him to leave the apartment
the next day, he asserts, and since then
has refused to live with him, this con
stituting willful desertion of more than
a year s duration.
One episode of the night of JJanuary
30. told by Mr. McCracken In the Dis
trict Court, was that Mrs. McCraken
nsisted on going to a Turkish bath at
3 o'clock in the morning, and that in
an effort to restrain her he scratched
her neck. Her version was one of un
provoked assault.
The suits filed by Mrs. McCraken
were for the collection of a note for
$10,000 given her by her husband in
San Francisco, and for $300 due her
on a maintenance contract. The former
is pending In the Circuit Court. The
latter was settled Saturday in the Dis
trict Court, when, after an eventful
morning. the defendant father of
Peter McCraken confessed judgment.

PARADE TO BE ELIMINATED
Irvinptora Will Substitute Garden
Party for Children's Festival.
Irvington will not have a children's
parade and. floral fete this year. This
decision was reacned at a meeting held
at the Irvington clubhouse Monday
night. Instead it was decided to hold
an old-fashioned garden party on the
club grounds on Friday night. June 30.
In making the decision against the
holding: of the children s parade the
belief was expressed that, owing to the
lateness of the season. It might be dif
ficult to get suitable flowers. The fact
that other sections of the city had ax
ready held similar parades this year
was also a factor in the action taken.
A committee of Irvington women was
named to have charge of arrangements
for the party. They are: Mrs. R. G. E.
Cornish, chairman; Mrs. A. H. Cousins,
Mrs. W. M. Umbdenstock. Mrs. William
M. Kapus. Mrs. F. S. Fields. Mrs. W. F.
Woodward. Mrs. H. N. Randall and Mrs.
J. W. Creath.

Meeting- Decides In Favor f Enthusias
tic Cimpalan for Entire Re
publican Ticket.
Many of the old-time members of the
Multorpor Republican Club met at the
Central Library Monday night and
elected officers. Gus C. Moser was
elected president; John -H. Hall, vice
president; Theodore O. Gladding, one
of the original charter members, secretary-treasurer;
H. L. Idleman. corre
sponding secretary.
AJ1 these ollicers were active mem
bers of the club when It was the. lead
ing Republican club of Oregon, and one
of the neatest uniformed marching
clubs of the Pacific Coast.
C. M. Idleman. who had been presi
dent almost continuously for 35 years.
declined a renomination, but pledged
his continued and enthusiastic support
of the club and Its newly elected offi
cers.
It is the purpose of the club to open
headauarters at once and engage ac
tively in the coming campaign for the
election of Hughes and Fairbanks and
the entire Republican ticket.
The old enthusiasm pervaded the
meeting last night. It was the unani
mous opinion that the methods adopted
in its early history, and so successfully
carried into operation, should again
prevail; that the old marching features
Bhould be adopted and that permanent
clubrooms should later be procured and
the club made a permanent social and
political organization.
