Mrs Hawley is repre sented by Chris-Jan Schucbei. livore Suit la SurprUe. The Hawleys were married in Port land March 11, 191$, and their little girl is about two years of age. Their marriage was a nine days' wonder in Oregon City circles, because of the position of Mr. Hawley and the fact that his bride was penniless. Not long ago Mr. Hawley purchased the former residence of the late State Senator "Walter A. Dimick. Mr. and Mrs. Haw ley furnished the house lavishly and only last month, during the Halloween season, elaborately entertained a com pany of friends. There had been no recent rumors of domestic infelicity and the suit for divorce occasioned considerable surprise-. Mrs. Hawley charges her husband with cruel and inhuman treatment, commencing in July, 1917, when he became angry, she alleged, because is wife had spoiled some kodak, pic tures, and he threatened to go back to his mother, leaving her in the ga rage and running away. She says that in December of the same year, soon after their child was born, he occu pied a separate bedroom and would lock the door so that his rest would not be disturbed. She alleges he would complain and nag if the baby cried. Cruel Treatment Alleged. In July, 1118, while Mrs. Hawley was in Bar View on a vacation, Mr. Hawley called her by long distance telephone and accused her of im proper conduct, without foundation, avers the plaintiff, who further com plains that in October, 1918, he made unpleasant remarks about her and her relatives in the presence of her niece, and that when she tried to re strain him, he struck her in the face. In June, 1919, he is accused of strik ing her, while they were staying at the Hotel Van Nuys in L.os Angeles and that in August of this year he is accused of having insinuated she had not been chaste before their marriage and threatened to take the baby away and leave her, demanding that she get out of the house, and then took hold of her arms and twisted and pinched her flesh. He is alleged to have struck her and thrown her across the floor very recently. Other specific instances of cruelty are alleged in the complaint. A recital of the defendant's means is presented in the complaint. It is set out that in five months of this year he deposited in a Portland bank from his salary and other sources of income $23,396.87, and Mrs. Hawley says her husband's income is upwards of $50,000 a year. He is said to have allowed her $50 month for her main tenance and allowance. The plaintiff asks for the care and custody of the child. x ? t " . ' j ; - t I V i r V if r' i if. f" t i I.

The Silver Lake Railway & Lumber company again rigged an emergency boom abov its boom here to handle the surplus logs, and none were lost. A crew of the Coweeman Driving & Rafting company completed a drive of 6,000, 0U0 feet of logs from the Port land Lumber company camp on Baird creek down that creek into the pond at the big dam on the Coweeman. These logs must now be driven down the Coweeman to the rafting works at Kelso. each of the victims. The authori ties believe the victims did not in tend to offer resistance, and incline to the theory that the highwaymen mistook their start of surprise for intent to fight. Mr. Burgess fell dead on the floor by the table at which he had been eating. Mr. Perringer staggered into the hallway and fell. Patrolman Case reported that he saw the highwaymen a short dis tance from the inn and followed them on foot. They entered the front door, which faces on the Linn ton road, while the policeman, who was not sure that their intentions were not all right, hunted up the back entrance and determined to in vestigate.

HADE BT SCOTT & BOW HE RAKERS OF SCOTTS EMULSION BY JOSEPH MACQUEEX. ERRY music of the tuneful sort, , suggestive of graceful minuets the old days of Queen Anne. dainty maidens and romantic cava liers wearing powdered wigs and old English costumes this is a rapid pen-picture of the Floto opera. "Martha," sung in English and pre sented last night, in the public audi torium by the Portland Opera asso ciation. It was practically a Portland ama teur production. Principals, chorus, orchestra, scenery and conductor are of this city. Only the costumes are from out of town, from San t ranciaco. The management says it tried to get , costumes in this city but could not get a sufficient supply. Audience Appreciate Opera. The audience was a large one, keenly appreciative of the home-opera treat given, and the applause was hearty and timely. The chorus men, women and girls, form the largest, best, prettiest-looking opera chorus heard in this city fii m a n v vpnrs It is a remarkable art and musically-educational achievement for a city the size of this one, and far away from the helpful nearness of big east ern cities where opera ventures are common. It is a personal triumph for Roberto Corruccini, the conductor, and a marked tribute to the "business executive ability of the president of the association, Mrs. Edward J-.. Thompson. All of the principals, Eloise Anita Cook. Marv Adele Case Vann, O. Ran- riolDh Thomas. Ballard Smith, J. Mac-, 1 millan Muir, Frederick T. Crowther, and Moris All, won new, lasting musi cal honors for the splendid and en thusiastic manner in w-hich they sang the music allotted to them, and acted their respective parts in this opera. "Martha" la German Opera. "Martha" is well and favorably known in this city. Many remember it when presented by a traveling com pany in this city about ten years ago. "Martha' is a German opera, with an English subject, and one of its princi pal airs, "The Last Rose of Summer," an Irish song a strange artistic, in ternational combination. Fredrich von Flotow, composer of "Martha." was born in Tentendorf. Mecklenburg, Germany, in 1812 and died in 1SS3. "Martha" is known as a musical reservoir of melody, and it received its first performance . in Vienna, Austria. November 25, 1847. Scenes from "Martha" are laid in Richmond, England, in the time of Queen Anne, which must have been somewhere between the years of 1702 and 1714. The plot is rural and aris tocratic. L.ady Harriet, an attend- ant upon Queen Anne, becomes weary ; of stuffy court-life, and visits a servants' fair in Richmond, disguised as a servant girl, accompanied by Nancy, her maid, and Sir Tristan, her cousin and devoted admirer. The three actors for that is what they arcs meet Plunkett. a farmer, and Lionel, who is Plunkett's brother by adoption. There is a mystery about Lionel's birth, and he is not th.en aware of the identity of his noble father and mother. Rendition la Pleaainar. In the opening scene we have a lively duet between Martha and Nancy, entitled "Of the Knights So Brave and Charming," and Lionel's plaintive song. "Lost. Proscribed an Humble Stranger." In the second act. there is the charming spinning wheel ensemble, "When .the Wheel Turns Lightly." The gem of this scene is where Lionel, falling in love with Martha, steals a rose from her bosom, and she sings the exquisite "Tis the Last Rose of Summer,' an Cook, and it just suited the legato and beauty of her silvery voice. It has been erroneously assumed by some that the words and music of this Irish song were composed by Thomas Moore, the Irish national poet. Moore wrote the words, but learned authorities agree that the music is old Irish, and that the tune usually sung to that ballad is prob ably taken either from the air "The Groves of Blarney," best known from the arrangement by Clifford Page, or "The Young Man's Dream," "Castle Hyde," or "The Cottage Adjoining the Hall." The tune is also used to "Bells of Shandon." The comedy of the opera is where Martha makes fun of devoted Lione as a lover. The fun is added to by Plunkett and Nancy, especially in the quartet Midnight Sounds." Plun kett's jolly, rollicking song, a drink ing ditty, "I Want to Ask You," was rousingly sung. The merriment cut short by the sudden approach of Queen Anne and her retinue, and from a convenient ring it is proved that lowly Lionel is the heir to the estates of the late Earl of Derby. Last Performance Tonlfcht. In male voice music, the gem of the entire opera is the famous aria en titled "Like a Dream, Bright and Fair," and in the Italian version "M'Appari." It is an admired solo of famous tenors, and was sung with bell-like purity of tone and impas sioned effect by Mr. Muir. It jirst suits his powerful, legato style in cultured vocalism. and was finely de ciaimea. Air. Aiuir is a tind as an opera tenor and is a new Portland singer of genuine merit. He. acts gracefully. Mrs. Vann sang splendidly and Mr. Crowther's big. powerful baritone dominated the servants' hiring scene The costumes and scenery are pretty, and the orchestra superb the best the association has had so far. The last performance of "Martha' is tonight. others who were in plain sight, were driven from the hall into the ball room. One robber stayed to guard them while the two others began a sys tematic search of the building. They reached the basement just in time to meet Patrolman Case as he entered a rear door. The policeman's revol ver was in his holster. The robbers thrust two guns against his body and ordered him to elevate his hands. Contents of Safe Stolen. The policeman complied. As they drove him before them, the robbers picked up John G. Moyer, the waiter who attended the Burgess party; Charles Garing, pianist, and Charles Jackson, a egro cook. Leav- ng these under guard, the robbers began a search of the private rooms. The shooting followed in short order. After the shooting the highwaymen walked back to the ballroom and searched their victims. On the way they picked up M. Coakley, manager of the resort, who had been in the basement, and came up with a tray of food. Several women present in the ball room were deprived of their rings. From Mr. McCauley the robbers took two-carat diamond, worth about I $1650 and $500 cash. They got but itlle from the others, although they i forced Coakley to open his safe and give them all his cash, about $400. All Road Are Guarded. At an early hour this morning the authorities had not learned how much the robbers obtained from the dead bodies. Search o the victims by Dep uty Coroner Goetsch showed but a small amount in silver, and it is be lieved that the men must have had more money on them. The women in the party fled as soon as the robbers had left. The police said last nirht that they had no rec ord of their names.

OREGON don and Thatcher, with Patrolmen Ingle and j Norene, arrived on the scene about 15 minutes after the tragedy. The police were soon guarding all the roads leading in different directions from the inn in the hope of picking up the fugitive robbers. Wlilow and Soo Survive. Mr. Burgess was 48 years old. He was itate highway commissioner from eastern Oregon. He i.s survived by a widow, now in California; a son, Ralph Burgess, a student at the Uni versity of Oregon, and a daughter, Miss Madeline Burgess, a student at the University of Washington. He came to Portland to attend the Shrin trs' convention. Mr. Perringer was 54 years old. He was one of the richest farmers in Umatilla county. He owned two sec tions of land and rented a larger acreage. He is survived by a widow and two children, Mrs. Jack Dolph and Carl Perringer, who is a young man. Messrs. Perringer and Mar shall, the third member of the party, had come to Portland to the stock show. MrsPerringer is at the Ben son hotel. Aaaailanta Are Friarhtened. The victims of the robbers were too excited to give good descriptions. The robbers evidently were amateurs, and the police ascribe the murders to the fact that the bandits were as fright ened as those they robbed. . One of the robbers was about five 1 feet seven inches tall. He carried two revolvers during most of the holdup, and the polico believe one of the weapons had been taken from Patrol man Case. The other two were shorter. All the highwaymen were of flight build and wore blue serge suits and caps. Before leaving the ballroom the robbers forced everyone present to lie prone on their stomachs. They issued orders for no one to move until plenty of time had elapsed for the robbers' escape. The victims did not obey the latter order to the letter. As soon as they heard the robbers running out of the Lieutenant front door they telephoned the alarm to Portland. The Burgess party evidently had Just arrived. Several bottles of gin ger ale Indicated that they were en joying a soft drink when the robbers entered. Food on the table showed that part of the meal had been served. Inspector Wright renorted earlv to day that Mr. Marshall had been robbed of $40 and that $70 had been found on Mr. Burgess' body. The lat est police theory is that the robbers c.rove on the Germanxown road to point just above Claremont taven. and descended to the taven on foot, making their escape up the hill to their car after the robbery.
