EX-LOVERS AT WAR Mrs. Emma Trout Accuses W. H. Lyness of Kicking Her. COURT UNCOVERS ROMANCE Defendant, 63 Years Old, Expresses Sympathy for Plaintiff, Who Re sponds by Slapping His Face After Hearing Is Over. "He -was bound I wasn't going to nave those grain boxes. He Just ripped and tore around there. I stooped over tha boxes and the first thins I knew I got a good one!" "He kicked you?" queried Deputy District Attorney Delch. Unhuh! I should say so! I can chow you the big" black and blue marks. Such was a portion of the testimony offered yesterday in Municipal Court by Mrs. Kmm Trout, the complainant. against . H. Lyness, a salesman, 6 years old. of 2170 East Market street, charged with assault and battery. Mrs. Trout is 61 years old. Both testified that the argument arose over the ownership of a small plied, which Lyness claimed had been sriven him by the owner and which Mrs. Trout was equally positive be longed to her. Fhe sent workmen to tear it down and remove it. Her manner was pert yet deadly when she confronted Lyness before the court a vehement little woman in a tailored suit and a white-pompadoured pleasant- faced elderly gentleman. ''Courtesies" Are Exchanged. "Didn't you say. 'Go "way, you old hypocrite." 'Go way, you old rascal'?' demanded the defendant in examina tlon. "TJnhuh. mebbe I did." was the affirmation. "You say I kicked you?" The answer was shrilly positive. You certainly did! 'When I stooped over, you Rave me a good one. The defendant prefaced his remarks to the court by declaring that he felt sorry for Mrs. Trout, but that sue bad reneatedly attacked him. He entered emphatic denial to tbe alleged kick or to having struck airs. Trout in any manner. "Have you folks ever been lovers?" said Judge Langguth with sudden in spiration. The defendant colored and turned his head, But Mrs. Trout hem her- head high and her eyes sparkled. "Sure we were." she triumphed. "He courted me for three years before he took me away from a. good home. He got all my money and I slaved for him." Valiantly Lyness rallied to the ex planation. Mrs. Trout, at the solicita tion of his son, he said, and of her own accord, came to his home to run small poultry farm. He denied that his attitude toward her had at any time been tender, or that be had contrived to take her savings. 'Lyness, I am going to fine you 110 and remit the fine," said Judge Ling- guth, "but you are also sentenced to be Mrs. Trout's guest for ten days." He sha n't enter my bouse! declared Mrs. Trout. "I'm sure I don't want to," was his mild retort. In the corridor Lyness paused to discuss his tribulations. Down upon him bore Mrs. Emma Trout, splutter ing with wrath. "I am sorry for the little woman, really, I am" Lyness was saying. Spat! An open-handed swing sent his hat sailing and reddened his cheek. "You brute! You unspeakable Druves she scolded and stamped. "Every day it is." sighed Lyness. Every day. Just like this." 200 GRADUATE TONIGHT EXERCISES TO BE HELD IX KOTO PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOLS. PEACE IDEA'UTOFW New York Minister Gives Views on Wilson's Move.

Treaties Slay Last for While but Whenever Material Interests of Nations Demand It They Will Be Broken, Says Mr. Sellevr, The peace plans of President Wilson were branded yesterday as "Utopian" rather than practical by Rev. Walter A. Sellew, of Jamestown, N. Y., bishop of the Free Methodist Church of North America, who is holding meetings at the First Free Methodist Church, East Ninth and East Mill streets. "I don't think we ever will arrive at permanent peace by -means of agree ments or treaties," he said. "Such trea ties may last for a while, but whenever the material interests of the nations demand it they will be broken." The bishop declared that he sym pathlzed TVitVi President Wilson in his desire for peace and certainly favored An English aeroplane, the wings of which form a ring, tbe idea being that it will right itself if capsized, has made numerous successful experimental flights. 1 I I - J OA Bishop Walter A. Sellew. of Free Methodist Church. W ko Declares President Wilson's Peaee Plans to Bo "Utopian." supporting the executive in his present move, although he felt that no perma nent results could be obtained. He said that, in his opinion, there would be no permanent peace until the mil lennium, because of the fact that man is a fighting animal by nature. 1 do not believe in war, declared the bishop, "and it has certainly been shown in the past to be the warlike nations that ultimately are destroyed. The only nation that God has let stand is the Chinese nation, a nation which is proverbial for its peacefulness, yet which has a history extending back to the time of Samuel the Prophet. China has been conquered twice and twice has in turn conquered the conquerors with the arts of peace. On the other hand, the warlike nations of the world one by one have gone down to defeat. There is no Jeffries but a Jack Johnson will come along in time and give him his quietus." Rev. Mr. Sellew declared himself par ticularly pleased with the advance made by the Free Methodist Church in Portland during the past few years. He complimented highly the work of Rev. Mr. Alexander Beers, minister in charge here. Bishop Sellew is president of the general foreign missionary board of his church and in that capacity has trav eled widely. He has made one trip around tbe world and has made three trips to Japan. He also was sent to China to investigate at the time of the famine there in 1911. Meetings will be held at the First Free Methodist Church by Bishop Sel lew the remainder of the week and all of next. Following that he will preside at a 6eries of seven conferences to be held on the Pacific Coast. One of these will be held in British Columbia, two In Washington, two In Oregon and two in California. He will be in Portland again for a conference beginning May 9 RECEIVER ASKS DELAY CASHIER COMPAXT SOT NOW ABLE TO PAY 35,0OO, HE SAYS.
