THE MORNING OEEGONIAN. TUESDAY OCTOBER 9, 1917. 7 MAN WANTED HERE SET FREE IN IDAHO Edward T. Andrews' Attorney Says He Will Report to Authorities Today. WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE Kcw Yorker Who Figured In Sensa tional Escapade Last May, lias Failed to Treat Her Prop er! y, Spouse Asserts. Shortly before Deputy Constable Dei mel reached Council, Idaho, last Friday, armed with a warrant for the return to Oregon of Edward G. Andrews on a criminal charge, the Sheriff released Andrews on his assurance that he wanted to go to Portland on a busi ness mission and would make' the trip without the embarrassment of having an officer for an escort. The District Attorney's office is at a loss to under stand the action of the Idaho Sheriff in turning: Andrews loose. In view of the fact that he knew an officer was on his way to return the prisoner to this state. Paul C. Dormitzer, attorney for Mr. Andrews in this city, said yesterday he was in communication with his cli ent, who would arrive in Portland some time today prepared to meet the charges that have been made against him by Mrs. Andrews. Mrs. Andrews Allege Cruelty. The District Attorney's office had a further surprise yesterday, when Mar garet E. Andrews, the wife of the ac cused man, who caused the complaint to be issued against Andrews, filed suit for divorce in the County Clerk's office. Mrs. Andrews includes in her divorce complaint a recital of Andrews' alleged misconduct from the time he eloped from the state of New York in Febru ary, 1916, with a professional nurse, Margaret F. Early, after withdrawing $7000 from the bank, and came to Port land, where, it is charged, they lived together as man and wife under the assumed names of Mr.' and Mrs. Ezca Gaeger until last May, when Mrs. An drews followed them to this city and caused the arrest of her husband on a statutory charge. Upon the promise of Andrews to (mend his ways, the wife agreed to a dismissal of the criminal charge against him and they went to Eastern Oregon to. live. But it was not long, aver3 Mrs. Andrews, until her husband re sumed a course of mistreatment, among other things requiring her to live in a boxcar while residing at Quinton. $SO Monthly Alimony Asked. Because of Andrews' alleged cruelty, the plaintiff says, she was obliged to leave him August 4 and return to Port land, where she caused another com plaint to be issued for Andrews' ar rest on the same charge for which he was originally taken into custody. An drews was finally located at Council, Idaho, where he was placed under ar rest and was being held pending the arrival of an officer. He had consent ed to waive extradition and return to Oregon voluntarily. Mrs. Andrews alleges In her com plaint that Andrews is the owner of bonds and railroad stocks worth $10, 000 and is capable of earning between $200 and $300 a month. She asked for a divorce and alimony of $50 a month, together with the recovery of Oriental rugs valued at $1000 and other per sonal property to the amount of $300 which she alleges Andrews wrongfully withholds from her.

George" Jorgenson, woodsman from the wilds of Tualatin, wanted a taste of city life. He also wanted a taste of liquor with a "kick" in it, he said, and he got it in the shape of a couple of bottles of Jamaica ginger. The liquid refreshment had taken all the kick out of him when he was found asleep by a passing "copper." He was allowed two days in jail and a $5 fine. He wanted to pay $15 and escape the jail sentence, but the court would have none of it. With thick tongue he answered to the name of Ben Bolt, but one look at him satisfied the court that he had nothing to do with the tender senti ments expressed in the old song of that name. He was but another bit of the flotsam and jetsam piled high on the reef Intoxication in the swirling ed dies of the North End bootlegging stream. He was granted three days of retrospection in the quietude of Rossman's Roost and fined $5 as welL ... Bernard La Vassager is as rabid an I. W. W. as they make 'em. He be lieves in a class revolution; he wants labor to rise up against capital and battle to the finish. He's an ardent advocate of sabotage. He's a direct actionist. He was in Butte during the Frank Little unpleasantness. He was "fighting" fires In Montana during the three weeks that forest fires raged in that state. He's a regular little traveler and doesn't care who knows it. But, what's more to the point, he's i "rag," and stands a chance of board ing with the city for some little time. He is likewise suspected of being a slacker. He gives his age as 19, but looks as though he would never see 25 again. He is held in jail as a vagrant while Federal officials are checking up his age. "You're an unsafe man to be at large," was Judge Rossman's parting shot as he was led away from the courtroom to Jail. . Business has been brisk at the "phrenology emporium" of Madam Lee at 20 North Sixth street during re cent weeks. The "Sammies," who are soon to leave for the trenches, have paid their good money to look into the future, and little Mary Lee, dressed In gypsy costume, has been a good barker for her mystic mother. But Mary's assistance came to an end yes terday when she paid a $20 fine and promised to heed a warning to stop soliciting business for her mother. Whisky, Ginger and Alcohol Find Devotees. Stream of Visitors at Police Court Swells City's Coffers. ASTORIA WANTS TROOPS TELEGRAMS PROTEST REMOVAL OK SOLDIERS. TOM MAHONEY, with snow white hair and a brogue, made one of his periodic social calls yesterday on Mu nicipal Judge Rossman. Tom was found Sunday night at Second and Burnside streets asleep. He was using a friendly telephone pole as a pillow, and so safely ensconced was he in the arms of Morpheus that his dreams remained unbroken when the "wagon" arrived to take him up where Jailor Ben Branch holds full sway. Tom had started a little celebration on whisky, but ended up with pure alcohol. Three days of rest "upstairs" and a fine of $5 were allotted to him. Tom Conley, with a "morning-after1 headache and a grouch, was deeply ashamed of his wife, who appeared yesterday as the complaining witness against him. The business of being ashamed, however, was mutual, as the wife thought the same of Thomas. Con ley was arrested Saturday night after he had gone home drunk and threat ened to beat his wife and child. After Tom had made a solemn pledge to "lay off" drinking whisky for good and go to work he was allowed to re- Governor Wlthycomeb Requests War Secretary to Order Detachment to Remain at Strike Scene.
