CASE IS FIRST ON RECORD
Stepfather Killed in Accident in
Portland W. AV. Hudson, Nat
ural Kin, Becomes Guardian.
SALEM. Or.. June 20. fSnec.lal.l In
the eyes of the law W. W. Hudson of
Eugene is not the father of his own
children, a daughter aged 11, and a son
aged 16. For the state industrial acci
dent commission, following a ruling by
Assistant Attorney-General Alexander,
has held that the two children are or
phans, fatherless and motherless, de
spite tne fact that the two children are
now living with their father.
This unusual case was brought to light
today week when the industrial acci
dent commission awarded the- two chil
dren $15 a month compensation as a re
sult of the death of their stepfather in
Portland two years ago.
Father Gaardlaa of Calldrea.
A history cf the case shows that Mrs.
Maretta J. Hudson was divorced from
W. W. Hudson several years ago at Eu
gene. She procured custody of the two
children and some time later married
Charles Buck, who was employed by
the Portland Bridge & Building Com
pany at Portland. The two children
then took the name of their stepfather.
Buck was killed during the course
of his employment in September. 1917,
and the commission the awarded $30
monthly to the widow' and 36 monthly
to the two stepchildren, making tii
monthly in alL

however, the mother of the two chil-
ren died. Their own father then went
to Portland where he obtained appoint
ment as their guardian through County
Judge Taswell. He then took his chil
dren back to Eugene to live.
Case Sets Preeedeat.
Inasmuch as the commission had de
cided the children were entitled to com
pensation as a result of the death of
their stepfather it stili holds to this de
cision, and upon advice from the attorney-general's
office, classes the two
children as orphans and allows them
the full $15 monthly which is awarded
to children who have lost both father
and mother.
The children are entitled to this
amount until they become 16 years old.
but the boy recently reached this age
and consequently receives a lump sum
payment of $156.60. The girl will re
ceive $15 a month for the next five
years.
This is said to De tne iirst case on
record with this commission in which a
father, in the eyes of the law, is classed
as nothing more than a stranger to his
children, and in which the children re
ive the full compensation awarded to
orphans, even though they have the
protection of and are living with their
atural father.
M. Betteridge, former clerk in a leading
clothier's store in this city.
Horsewhipped and forced to walk
along a steep mountain road while in
delicate physical condition because of
a recent operation, is a hardship Mrs.
Betteridge alleges she was forced to
endure. This was in 1915 when she
was driving with her husband from
Portland to Fort Rock, Or., where he
had located a homestead.
The wife says that her husband or
dered her to find some shaving soap
for him in the wagon and when she
found she was unable to lift one of the
heavy boxes in which the soap was
packed, he lashed her across the back
with his whip and forced her to walk.
Wot long ago Betteridge came to
Portland and while his wife was in the
east, she charges, he lived at the home
of a Mrs. Martha Smith. When Mrs.
Betteridge returned she was forced to
live at ths Smith home, she contends.
and submit to constant indignities from
her husband and Mrs. Smith. He often
referred to his "two wives," she says.
Though refusing to take, his wife
anywhere, give her money or buy her
clothes, Betteridge lavished gifts upon
Mrs. Smith, took her to dinner and the
aters and was generous to her with
kisses and embraces in the presence of
his wife, charges Mrs. Betteridge.
On June 1 last Betteridge lavn im

receiving toO a week, declares his wife.
