THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. MAY 28, 1910. 'JUDGE PLAIN SPOKEN IN DENYING DECREE Husband and Wife Advised to Kiss and Make Up. WEALTH BREAKS UP HOME often came home in a drunken condi tion. There was little testimony to support this, and the judge granted the divorce to Mrs. Butler, awarding her S15 a month for support money. On May 15, 1919, while walking with I some friends on her way home from a dance, Mrs. Celia Goldberg was con fronted by her husband, who struck her and yelled "at the top of his voice," she complains in a suit .for di vorce filed against Abe Goldberg. Tiis caused her great humiliation, she asserts. On May 23 she was choked by her husband, she "charges. ' She de clares 1 c is making: $500 a month and has $750 in the bank. Other divorce suits filed yesterday were: Viola Justine Hannon, who said her husband declared he preferred life with a rattlesnake, against Thomas Martin Hannon, and Elizabeth G. Strout against Roy V. Strout, desertion. Woman, Charged With Being Unfif Person to Have Child, Wins Daughter and Alimony. She was young, pretty and short tempered. Her black eyes snapped fire as she answered back under the lash of Presiding Judge Stapleton's tongue. He -was young, evasive and some what emotional. There were three children, bright appearing youngsters. The upshot of the attempt, of Helen M. Spitznagle to secure a divorce from K. L. Spitznagle yesterday afternoon was unsatisfactory to the young woman. She registered high indigna tion as she left the courtroom. The husband registered confusion. The judge had insisted that they try to get along again and had continued the case. Before making that decision the jurist had been somewhat plain-spoken to the young woman. "You're stubborn and hard-headed," ho told -her. She glared back. "And he's a boob." "You said it then," agreed the girl with alacrity. "Yes, he's a boob. He cares for you, yet he can't stay away from the pool room with the boys. There are lots like him." . Judge Is Plain-Spoken. She had testified that her husband would stay away three and four nights & week until 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. "My wife would have had a thousand divorces if that was sufficient cause," declared the judge. "Well, you probably had a good rea son for staying away," said the young. woman. "Yes, I did, sometimes. I couldn't always get home." She was asked If she would not take him back and try it again if he would promise to be good and treat her rightly. "I know he would not keep his promise," ehe replied. "Oh, a lot of us old ginks get pretty good after a while," the jurist assured her. "He's choked me and given me a black eye, lots of times." "Why don't you choke him ' for a change and give him a black eye some time?" demanded the court. Divorce Decree Denied. "What do you think I am, an ele phant?" flashed back the girl. "No, but you look, pretty husky. You ought to swat him every time he swats you. You could lick him with your tongue until he would get down on his knees and beg, as he did in ray office," replied the judge, referring to a former attempt at reconciliation. "He's a boob." "But in all seriousness," continued the judge, "you two ought-to try to live together, for the sake of those children. They are lovely children and it is go ing to be mighty hard on them if you part now. Try it. I'll not grant you a decree today." Wfallk Held Too Mack. Wealth went to the head of F. A. Jen sen, according to the story Grace Jen sen told Judge Stapleton in securing her decree. When he was making $125 a month as a moulder in a local foun dry everything was-lovely, she declared, but when he received a sudden boost to the superintendency of the Liberty foundry company, a new concern, with a salary of $300 a month It was' too much for him. Other default decrees awarded bv Judge Stapleton were: Emily E. Baker rrom Jesse A. Baker, Minnie Liscomb from W. B. Liscomb, Lawrence Kamear from C. C. Kamear, Sadie-Fricker from George Fricker. Alma A. Cowie from Robert E. Cowie, Maude E. Trimble from H. E. Trimble, M. Morris from sessie Morris, Ella Norton from Fred erick Norton, Nellie Roy from Alex Rov Hazel Wright from Claude Wright, William F. Baxter from Helen Baxter, Maude E. Lansing from Chester L. Lansing, and Lenora Gill from Ernest Gill. "He said that when our daughter grew up he would make her a gypsy iueen, protested Laura C.

(By the' Associated Press.) i ERMANY'S counter-proposals to the J peace treaty comprising a volume f goodly proportions are in readiness for presentation to the peace congress. No official announcement . has as yet been made of the time when Count von Brockdorff-Rahtzau will make Ger many's final plea for" the amelioration of Bome of the conditions of the treaty which are declared to be too severe for fulfillment, but the time cannot be ex- ended beyond noon of Thursday, when the limit for reply expires. Late dispatches from Berlin indi cate that the German document is to contain manifold representations and arguments for a lessening of the sever ity of the terms, not alone from the financial and economic standpoints but also with regard to disarmament, both on land and sea, but a plan for mutual- zing under the league of nations war- craft and merchant shipping of the World's nations. '.reri itorial relinquish ments also are to be argued against. V Friday is to witness the receipt by the Austrians of the terms of the peace treaty that has been formulated for the former empire of the Hapsburgs. The plea of the chief of the Austrian dele gation for haste by the allies In mak ing known- their terms probably is re- ponsible for Friday having been chosen as. the day for the Austrians to appear before the peace congress, it previously having been believed that the cere mony would not ta,ke place until next week. In anticipation of a policy of decli nation on the part of the Germans to sign the peace treaty. Marshal Koch, the commander-in-chief of the allied armies, has made a further inspection of the occupied area in the west and its general vicinity and reported his observations to Minister of War Clem enceau. The landing of American and British marines at Danzig probably in dicates that another step to meet any eventuality has been taken. . The question whether the German plenipotentiaries will affix their signa tures to the document is still a moot one in Germany. Confirmation has been received of the report that allied and associated powers are to lend aid in supplies and money to Admiral Kolchak the anti bolshevik leader in Russia, conditional upon the establishment of a constituent assembly and a lawful government in his country. A report from Viborg is to the ef feet that the soviet authorities in Petro. grad have been overthrown. There is no confirmation of the report.
