Judge McCourt Holds Each Is
Equally at Fault.
LAD, FIVE, WINS COURT
Xight-llalred Boy Climbs Into Jur
itt Arms and Enjoys "Fight"
Between Parents.
"It is not the business of the court
to promote the notion' now prevalent
among laymen that all that is neces
sary to get a divorce is to come into
court and say that you can't agree
with your husband or wife," an
nounced Presiding Judge McCourt
yesterday as he denied Hattie B. Max
field the decree of divorce she asked
from W. E. Maxfield.
Mrs. Maxfield had testified that
ehe couldn't seem to get along with
her husband, that they quarreled often
end that he abused her. Maxfield was
brought into court on a bench war
rant that the judge might find out
what he had to say about the divorce
proposed.
"Well, we didn't have no trouble
except that we could never agree on
anything," he told the court. "1
didn't come down here to abuse the
woman or say anything against her
character. I was willing she should
pet a decree, but I told her if she
put anything In it to down my char
acter that I would fight it. but that
I wouldn't otherwise."
Reason Held Insufficient.
"The feeling that you can't get
along together Is not a cause for di
vorce," explained Judge McCourt.
"The contract of marriage presup
poses a good, energetic effort to keep
up the terms of the contract. The
state is a party to the contract and
does not concede the right of the
other parties to abandon it at their
leisure. Mere domestic broils and
fights are insufficient grounds for di
vorce. The decree is denied."
After an all-day contest before Cir
cuit Judge Gatens, a divorce was de
nied C. R- Hunt from Dorothy Hunt.
The jurist held that both parties were
equally at fault and that a decree was
not justified. There was a light
haired boy of five years also to be
considered.
Charges of Infidelity and the call
ing of vile names were made on both
Bides.
Lad Climbs Into Judge's Arms.
During the course of the hearing
little Roger Hunt, the child of the
contestants, wandered about the
courtroom, climbing upon the judge's
bench and into the judge's arms. At
one time he strayed out into the cor
ridor. A newspaper man stopped to
play with the youngster. The boy
plucked at the sleeve of the new
found friend.
"Come on in and see my papa and
mamma fight." he urged.
In a divorce suit filed in the circuit
court yesterday, Alta Walker accuses
her husband of having a "loose char
acter," but asserts that she "does not
wish to go into detail concerning his
loose character if she can avoid it."
She married Charles E. Walker last
July. Her husband has been penuri
ous and "treated her like a child,"
she complains.
Corinne A. Ewen, who parried Ma
rlon B. Ewen at Vancouver on the
fifth day of last month, asks a di
vorce on the ground that her hus
band's cruelty is making her a "nerv
ous wreck."

Elmer Glass, Whose Missiles All
Fall to Hit Anyone, Is Led
Away to Jail.
Those good- old-fashioned romances
In which the gay cavaliers wen
ready to do battle and shed blood for
the sake of their fair ladies had
othing on the revolver and rifle duel
which started in the residence of Mrs.
Nellie Kagan. 33, of Fuller road ard
iinkley avenue, when Elmer Glass,
tar boarder at the place, returned
home about midnight last night and
found W. F. Bent, special police
officer and employe of the park
bureau, in the parlor with the fair
Mrs. Ragan.
No five-reel favorite ever rivaled
the events which followed and which
resulted in a call for the police being
ent in, and lu the end. the arrest of
Glass by Sheriff "Billy" Wilson of
Clackamas county.
Mr. Glass is a roillman by profes-
ion and a man of action, so when
he found his rival with the fair Mrs.'
Ragan he Immediately rushed up
stairs and secured his trusty 45-cali-ber
revolver, with which he is said
to have started a bombardment from
the head of the stairs.
Bent, however, who Is a veteran of
the Canadian and American armies.
and who received only yesterday from
the British war office the Mons medal
for distinguished service, had been
under fire at Ypres. the Somme and
in Flanders on various occasions, and
was not to be easily frightened away.
According to the police he went out
side and borrowed a 22-caliber rifle
and attempted to arrest Glass. Shots
were exchanged, but both held strate
gic positions, and there were no casu
alties.
In the meantime neighbors had sent
in a hurry call for the police, and
Motorcycle Officers Stiles and Wiles
were dispatched to the scene.
When the officers arrived the
smoke of battle had cleared. Glass
had retired to his room upstairs, and
Bent was guarding below with his
22. The officers decided to send In a
call for the sheriff of Clackamas
county inasmuch as the place was
located in that county, and outside
the jurisdiction of the police.
W hile Officer Stiles was telephon
ing. Officer Wiles selected a cush
ioned chair and took life easy. Sud
denly Glass came out and let fly from
the head of the stairs with his re
volver at the officer, according to the
report. The officer pulled out his re
volver and began shooting at tho
place where he thought the man had
retired behind the partition, but with
out effect. 1
At last Sheriff Wilson arrived, and
after some coaxing Glass came out
from his hiding and submitted to ar
rest.
Yesterday Mr. Bent received from
the British war office, and along with
a personal letter of commendation by
command of ICing .George, a war
medal in memory of the battles of
Ypres and around the Somme and in
Flanders. The medal is of bronze
is surrounded by a crown, and in a
lower circle are the figures 1914-15,
with two sword blades. On the back
of this medal is the inscription.
"12975, William F. Bent. 20th battal
ion. Canada." Mr. Bent, who was
born in Vermont, at the outbreak of
tho big war joined a regiment of
dragoons in Toronto. Canada; was
sent for active duty to France, where
he took part in battles, was wounded
and taken to a hospital in England.
On recovery he began service with
the 2d. infantry, British division, 4th
brigade, and was badly wounded. He
recovered to fight near Ypres for 11
days and nights, and afterward on the
Somme. Here he joined the imperial
sappers, and one day while tunneling
he and his immediate comrades were
buried alive by an explosion. Bent
was among those dug up from the
wreck, and he was cared for a long
time in a sanitarium.
He afterward fought with Canadian
troops, and on receiving honorable
discharge because of wounds, he
joined the police force of this city.
Next ha joined the American army
and was ordered for home service in
Vancouver barracks, Washington,
where he was honorably discharged

the natlon-wid campaign. It was
found that many clergymen were re
ceiving less than journeymen carpen
ters, and even, in a large percentage
of cases, less than day laborers.
The nation-wide campaign has en
listed laymen who hitherto had not
been closely identified with religious
effort, and one of their first demands
was that the b trainees affairs of the
church be put on a business basis.
When it was pointed out to them that
before such stipend increases as they
urged could be put Into effect funds
must be raised. they promptly
pledged Episcopalians as a whole to
make good the deficiency, and the sum
required has been added to the quota
for the nation-wide campaign.
This is the first time such a sweep

has been effected. It is believed that
the action taken in the diocese of

eventually sweep over the entire na

Maud Rue Emerson, Who Received
$10 In Request, Charges Legator
Under Undue Influence.
With the contention that the late
George Rae was under the influence
of his former housekeeper, whom he
had married, to such an extent that
he left but 810 of a fortune estimated
at 8100.000 at his death to Maud Rae
Emerson, his adopted daughter, the
will contest In the Rae estate opened
before Circuit Judge Tazwell yester
day. Mr. Rae died February 12. 191 S.
leaving three-fifths of his estate to
his wife. Elizabeth E. Rae, one-fifth
to a nephew, James -Rae, of Harbor.
Or., and one-fifth to a brother. Will
iam Rae, of Toronto, Can. To his
adopted daughter, then living in
Paris with her husband, be bequeathed
810. Most of his property consisted
of capital stock in the lnman-Poul-sen
Lumber company. Mrs. Emerson,
who is still in Parts, seeks to have
the will set aside on grounds of un
due influence.
Most of the testimony yesterday
concerned a trip about the world
made by Rae in company with the
woman who later became his wife,
the contestants alleging that relations
were meretricious. In addition to a
denial of coercion and duress charcea,
the proponents of the will insist that
Mrs. Emerson is but a tool of her hus
band in the preceedings, and that
Emerson already has been assiRned a
half interest in his wife's portion In
the estate should the contest prove
succeysful.
Tha widow, who was the second
wife of the deceased, was on the wit
ness stand most of the day.
