UNTRUE WAR
E
SHATTERS 11C
Court Told of Blight on
Soldier's Fond Hopes.
SILVER FIGURES IN CASE
Controversy Precipitated When
Wedding Presents Are Sought
by ex-SerTice Man.
The story of a shattered war ro
mance, of an untrue war bride, of a
returned soldier from France who
finds his wife in love with another
man, was told in municipal court
yesterday by Frank Hemmerl, me
chanic who appeared to answer to a
charge of drunk and disorderly con
duct. Hemmerl attempted suicide In the
city Jail by pricking an artery in his
wrist, following bis arrest at the
apartment of his divorced wife, now
Airs. L. Allen, at the Hanover apart
ments, Washington and King streets,
Thursday night. Motorcycle Officers
Simkins and Forken made the arrest.
Percolator Figures la Case.
The former soldier is said to have
had a controversy with the present
husband of his former wife, in which
a coffee percolator, one of the wed
ding presents at Heramerl's marriage,
was used as a missle. The perco
lator, badly battered, was taken to
the court as evidence.
When he returned to find the wife
he had married on the eve of his de
parture for France in love with an
other man he advised her to get a
divorce and marry the man of her
choice, Hemmerl told Judge Rossman.
The controversy which resulted in
his arrest last night followed after
he had visited the Allen apartment
on request of his former wife and
her new husband, the man said. He
admitted that some liquor had been
drunk by the three.
Judge Rossman continued the case
for sentence after he had heard the
former soldier's story.
"I was a first sergeant in my com
pany, stationed at Vancouver bar
racks, at the time of my marriage,"
Hemmerl told the judge. He then re
lated the tragedy of parting from
his young wife on his departure for
France, of how he had made out his
$10,000 insurance to her and had his
allotment sent to her regularly, in all
about 600.
Fond Hopes Blighted.
After his arrival in France he was
made a second lieutenant and placed
with the Fourth engineers. He then
told of his anticipation of being once
more with his young wife when he
arrived home last Summer, of how
he arrived at his home to find an
other man's belongings there and her
living with this other man.
Mrs. Hemmerl is said to have se
cured a divorce from her former hus
band on his advice on September 12
and later to have married Allen.
The controversy Thursday night is
said to have started over some silver
and other articles which had been
given Hemmerl by members of his
company at the time of his wedding.
Neither Mrs. Allen nor her husband
appeared In court to press charges
against Hemmery.
CONVENTION PLANS MADE
COMMITTEE EXPECTS ' 1000
SALESMEX IX JUNE.
Value in Publicity Through Words
of Travelers Will Be Great,
Is Belief.
Plans for raising additional funds
for entertainment of the delegates at
the national convention of the Trav
elers Protective Association of Amer
ica, which meets in Portland June 14
to 19, are being made by the execu
tive committee in charge of conven
tion arrangements, consisting of
Stanhope S. Pier, Clyde Kvans, A. H.
Devers, M. R. Johnson and P. J. Sul
' livan.
The convention promises to be one
of the most important events of the
kind which the city has ever had, in
view of the fact that the members of
the association are traveling sales
men coming from many parts of the
country. The association has a mem
bership of 90,000, and an attendance
of over 1000 Is expected at the annual
session in this city. With' the fami
lies of delegates and others who will
be in the city because of the conven
tion fully 2000 visitors are expected.
, Thus far $7000 has been raised for
convention purposes and a total of
S:!0.000 is needed to take care of the
visiting delegates in true Portland
style, according to members of the
committee. Several committees are
out soliciting funds and it Is hoped
to raise tho amount needed within a
short time.
Particular need for the city to take I
care of th travelers in a hospitable
way is emphasized by the committee.
The traveling men are known to be
great boosters and if they are favor
ably Impressed with Portland it is
believed that great advantage will
accrue to the city in the way of
favorable publicity.

Board Decides to Establish Pre

Absence From Duty.
' A
In order to establish a precedent in
cases where instructors attempt to
collect pay for. voluntary absence in
order to avoid vaccination, the school
board Thursday night denied two
such requests. These were made by
Clifford A. Lucas of Benson Polytech
nic school and Delia Rogers of Clin

nine days' and two weeks' periods re
spectively. The board granted permission for
two more teachers to represent the
city at the Inlafld Empire association
meelng at Spokane March 31. A. A.
Campbell will go from the Principals'
association and Miss Larrabee from
the School Teachers' association.
Efforts of one or two publishers to
block final selection of textbooks
failed and the board adopted the com
plete list voted upon by the teachers.
These are adopted for a four-year
period.
