PLEA RECITES CRUELTIES AVife Declares Wealthy Timber Own er Asked Her to Start Action so He Could Wed Affinity; Alimo ny of $750 Month Sought. "Helen. I love you! I lovo you! I love you!" Charles "W. Embody, wealthy Portland tlmberman. murmured one night In his sleep. At least his wife, whose name Is Lillian, says that he did. And she has a niece whose name is Helen. Alimony of 750 a month, a one-third Interest in timber holdings valued at more than 125,000, 3000 for attorn neys' fees and the return of Jewelry worth 6000 are demanded by Mrs. Era body In her suit for divorce filed in the Circuit Court yesterday. The talking In his sleep, and particularly the mention of a name, confirmed, she alleges, all the suspicions she had. Compounded Indignities and abuse heaped upon her that she might be forced into suing for divorce are recit ed by Mrs. Embody, who maintains that her husband wishes to get rid of her that be may marry her niece, Helen Clark. Discord Enters Home. Discord entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Embody, who had lived In conju gal happiness sir.ce their marriage in Everett. Wash.. June 19, 1911. with the arrival in Portland. In April, 1915, of Miss Clark, of Washington. Ind. She came for a visit with her aunt. Her visit was extended until November, 1915, when she was ordered out of the house by an indignant spouse, who asserts she sawyher husband and niece In compromising circumstances many times. Mrs. Embody asserts that her hus band is still supporting Miss Clark In Portland and Is awaiting the oppor tunity of marrying her. - Miss Clark is living in an East Side aparfcment-house wlh her mother, Mrs. Luclnda J. Clark, a widow. Mrs. Clark denied indignantly last night that Mrs. Embody was paying any bills for her daughter. Miss Clark would make no comment on the divorce, except to ex press her regret that what she termed intemperate and false statements should be given publicity. Since September 1, 1915, Mr. Embody has endeavored to force Mrs. Embody to secure a divorce, primarily, so his wife accuses, that be may marry the niece. Relra of Cruelty Charged. Mrs. Embody charged that he com manded her to secure a divorce without any notoriety, threatening as an al ternative to ruin her happiness and good name. Refusal to begin divorce proceedings, Mrs. Embody asserts, pre cipitated a reign of cruelty. Beginning with indifference to her, Mr. Embody Is accused of pursuing a course of studied mental torment. He spread falsa reports - as to her. character, she asserts, giving rise to the rumor that before she married him she was of Im moral character and that sheecontinued to be intimate with other men after marriage. He wrote her brother and sister In the East of his wife's alleged derelic tions, she maintains. One person with whom he accused her of being too fa miliar, she contends, -was named Lens feld. a friend of her family, old, blind and infirm. Love for Niece Asserted. Not content with this. Mr. Embody would call hio wife vile names, refuse her credit at stores, refuse her medi cine or medical attention when sick, refuse to be seen on the street with her. and order her out of his office in the Lumbermen's building, threatening to call the police, she charges. Her husband would stay away from home five or six nights in the week, spending them, Mrs. Embody charges. in the company of her niece. She be lieves this to be true because of what she overheard him say In his sleep, she asserts, though admitting that her hus band said, when faced with accusations later, that he had been awake and had said what he did to anger his wife. Their handsome home in fashionable Irvington was given up by her husband when Mrs. Embody made known her refusal to sue for divorce, she asserts, and a house taken In Sellwood, away from carlines and without telephonic communication. On the pretext that they were not safe there, her husband Induced her to give him her diamonds and other valuables, worth $5000, for deposit In a vault downtown, she save, and refused later to give them back. That Mr. Embody further Induced Mrs. Embody to sign away all her right to their joint property and de stroyed an unrecorded deed given her to five lots in Terrace Addition to Portland Is further charged. April 15. 1915, Mr. Embody caused to be Inserted in Portland papers notices that he would not be responsible for any debts contracted by his wife. Mr. Embody has large timber hold ings throughout .the Northwest, but his chief interests are in Curry Coun ty. Oregon. There he owns more than 7000 acres, containing more than 400, 000.000 feet of standing timber. There are no children. We Give S. & H.

His duties will be apportioned anions; other officers of the Juvenile and County Courts -until the end of Judge Cleeton's regime. The suicide, it is believed, was pre meditated. It was the culmination of weeks of melancholic brooding, appar ent only to a few who knew Mr. Bulger well. For a week past his nervousness had increased, and Saturday was apparent to his coworkers. Knowing his health was bad. and believing that a change would helD him. Judge Cleeton had sue-aested that Mr. Bulger take his va cation now. But the probation officer Insisted that he was well enough to work, and is reported to have told his wife that he feared he was going to be discharged. H. M.

Mr. Bulger on Saturday was sur prised while cleaning the revolver with which he later killed himself, by Miss Mae Norton, Juvenile Court worker. He was In his office and had the revolver parts on his desk, and was applying a leaning rag industriously. "What are you doing with that?" Miss Norton questioned, casually. Mr.- Bulger started, for he had not heard her enter the office. "Oh, I took from an insane patient, he ex plained. Mr. Bulger had charge of the Insane wards of the county as well as probation work. For nearly nve years Mr. Bulger naa been a sick man, though he never com plained of his condition to those with whom he worked. Dr. Sandford Whit ing performed an operation for the re lief of Internal trouble, but said that Mr. Bulger would never regain his nor mal health. Except for the involun tary twltchlnsr of his features with oc casional spasms of pain, court attaches who knew Mr. Bulger well would not have known that he was in almost continual pain. Funeral arrangements will not be made until today, but the services prob ably will be held tomorrow. The body Is at the parlors of J. P.

DRYS SEEKING DATA fit i ENGLISH DOCTOR Discovers Cure for Constipation Pure Paraffins oil lae4 With Success Taken Inwardly as n Lubricant. One-of the most remarkable events In the history of medicine was the dis covery made by Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, a prominent English physician, that pure paraffine oil is a safe and agreeable remedy for constipation and other intestinal Ills. The remarkable feafire of this treat ment is that the paraffine oil Is not used as a medicine, but as a lubricant it is taken Inwardly in ordinary doses -and simply passes through the system, lubricating the bowels as it goes. Its cleansing action and its softening effect upon the- congested masses give a natural action. It is not absorbed into the syster- nor does It act as a stimulant. It is a pure white liquid, tasteless, odorless and colorless.' The Owl Drug Co. sells Its own special line of pure paraffine under the name of Ameroil in pint bottles at 50 cents each. f. i- , Harry Bulner.

Can ada, temperance and suffrage leader, called on Mayor Albee yesterday to get definite Information as to the ef fect prohibition has had on Oregon and particularly Portland. She has come West to help In the fight for prohibition that Is expected in rsritisn Columbia this Fall. 'The liquor Interests will cite the bad effects that prohibition has worked on communities that have the prohi bition law," said Mrs. Scott yesterday, and we want to have data from ai many places as possible to combat their statements. 'We are practically assured of hav ing prohibition In British Columbia. for the Liberals are pledged to both prohibition and equal suffrage and the conservatives have promised to abide by a referendum on both questions. 'Most of the provinces of Canada are already dry and in those prov inces where liquor Is still sold many of the municipalities have local option. In the province of Quebec the Rom an Catholics are not quite certain if prohibition is the best thing for the people. There are great temperanee advocates, however, and Archbishop Bruchest Is one of the most noted. He has given the first communion to some 300,000 children in the 18 years he has been there and each one has signed the pledge that holds until the age of 21 years. The first communion is not given until the pledge has been signed- "Ontarlo win be dry after Septem ber 1 and Novia Scotia Is now entirely dry. Novia Scotia, with the exception of Halifax; has been dry lor years, out a few months ago that city became prohibition territory. "In Quebeo 800 out of the 1100 mu nicipalities have local option and the biggest fight for prohibition win ne in Montreal. In that city there are more liquor licenses than any 10 other cities of the province. "Ontario has a law that resembles the Oregon law. as liquor permits for Importation are Issued. "Manitoba Is dry and the druggists there will have nothing to do with the handling of liquor for any purposes. Some arrangement with government dispensaries will have to be made to furnish liquor for medical, sacramental and uechanieal purposes. "In Saskatchewan even the govern ment dispensaries are being voted out. Alberta became entirely dry juiy x. Mrs. Scott said that she thought one of tha effects of the war In t-urope upon England would be the granting of equal suffrage. Mrs. Scott's Interview with Mayor Albee was much to her liking, as she was given the fullest, information oi the reduction of crime and drunken ness, as well as the increase of the credit of " y workmen due to the passage of t-e prohibition law In Ore gon. PARDONS TO BE FEWER those pardons to Inmates of the Mult nomah County Jail who have seemed particularly deserving, but because of the increasing number of applications from Multnomah County that are com ing in. and the lack of appreciation evidenced In some instances. I have de cided to curtail almost entirely Issuing pardons In County Jail cases." Mulcare is the young automobile thief who was indicted with Clyde Smith and Frank Webber April 1. Webber and Smith were paroled April Zl, but Mulcare was sentenced to nine months in the County Jail by Judge Morrow. He was conditionally par doned July 19, by Governor Wlthy corabe.
