Tom Night Gown Chief Exhibit
' in Sensational Case.
ARGUMENT DATE IS FIXED
IBriefs In Action Include Nearly
100 0 Pages of Closely
Printed Matter.
SALEM, Or.. June 13. (Special.)
A woman's torn nightgown, more
than 50 letters and telegrams, a large
assortment of postal picture cards
ana briers covering nearly 1000 pages
or ciosely printed matter, all pur
o io nave a bearing on the do
mestlc life of Mr. and Mrs. Willard
.nawiey, prominent residents of Ore
gon City, today was on the desk of
me clerk of the Oregon supreme
. court pending presentation of the
exhibits and arguments in the final
and deciding round of the divorce
action brought by Mrs. Hawley
against her husband. The supreme
court yesterday set the case for hear
ing Tuesday, June 21.
The case originally was tried In
the circuit court for Clackamas
county, with the result that Mr,
Hawley was awarded a decree of di
vorce, permission to visit the minor
child born to the couple during the
time it is temporarily In custody of
tne mother, and other relief. Mrs.
Hawley had asked for a divorce, per
manent custody of the child, alimony,
ami money, attorneys fees and an
interest In the property of the de
Xendant.
Rrqncnti Are Denied.
All of these requests were denied
with the exception of modified ali
mony pending final disposition of" the
case, and attorney's fees in an amount
far below that requested in the
plaintiffs complaint. Appeal then
was taken to the supreme court bj
Mrs. Hawley.
After an exhaustive review of the
alleged unpleasant domestic relations
between Mr. and Mrs. Hawley, the
appellant's brief summarizes the par
ticular acts of mistreatment upon
which the plaintiff seeks to obtain
a reversal of the verdict of the cir
cuit court.
These alleged acts follow:
Slap in the face when Mrs. Hawley
Was about to become a mother.
Continual nagging and want of con
sideration after the child was born.
Carping criticisms of wife's dress
and personal appearance. '
Slanders against " wife's relation
hips.
Undue irritability on account of
household duties and cares.
Calling his wife contemptible pup,
fool and crazy.
, Careless and vulgar habits.
Nightgown Is Torn.
Tearing wife's nightgown from her
,tack when she sought another bed.
Striking wife in back with fist.
Striking wife's elbow against sink,
resulting in bruise and discoloration.
Gripping wife's wrists until she
fainted and fell to the floor.
Butting plaintiff- against sink, in
juring her abdomen.
Insinuating that plaintiff was un
chaste before marriage.
Frequent and annoying expressions
of discontent with married life, and
demands to have freedom.
Continuous disregard of marital
tows to love, cherish and protect.
Attorneys for the plaintiff placed
special stress in their brief on the
nightgown episode, which was one of
100 or more alleged acts of cruelty at
tributed to Mr. Hawley by his wife.
On the occasion of this trouble, Mrs.
Hawley alleged, according to the
brief, that her husband persisted in
talking to her after they had retired.
and that she finally left his bed and
sought seclusion in another apart
ment.
Garment la Exhibit.
Mr. Hawley followed her, she al
leged. and in the fracas that ensued
her night garment was torn. Th!
garment, as received here today, will
be one of the chief exhibits to be pre
sented to the court at the time' of
final arguments.
. A fair and impartial consideration
pf the facts cannot but lead to the
conclusion," read the appellant's
brief, "that this young man, at the
time of marriage, or soon there
cfter, became totally disqualified to
fill the office of husband. He was
rot equal to even the small responsi
Ulities of married life. He was only
a fair weather lover. He could play
the part of a fierce love-man when
lis blood was up.
"He was madly infatuated with her
youthful charms, and was happy
while basking in the sunshine of this
lair maiden's bright smile, and could
hove her, 'Oh. oh. so hard." but when
the shadows appeared, when there
came even the slightest Interruption
of his passionate indulgence, he could
pot tolerate that, and his amorous
demonstrations were soon smothered
by his impatient seillsnness.
Hawley Is Criticised.
Such love vas not true love, for
true love never forgets, never of
fends.' He did not know what mar
riage means to men. He objected to
her visiting with or calling upon
friends, and she gave them up. He
ridiculed her church till she was
compelled to give that up. He criti
cised her relatives, criticised her per
sonal appearance and her ambitions,
and affected a superior position by
reason of his financial condition. His
enly conception of marital bliss an. 4 a
wife's duty was that she should wait
and watch for the home-coming of
frer lord and master.
"The true ideal or marriage Is not
Service or servitude. It means sym
pathy and solicitude, not ' surrender
and servility. Nor does . it . mean, .a
bondage where the man can claim
the right to take a fair-wena-to-keep
her at pleasure as a plaything,
to cast off when he is through WItn
her, or when he tires of her and
wishes another.
Selfishness la Scored.
"Selfishness and discontent can
rot, in any case, conduce to connubial
happiness and. if persisted ia- so- ai
to become a habit or propensity, can
ict but lead to a disruption of ths
household. Marriage nowadays, to be
smooth and suitable, must be gov
erned by the common but .sjgjuhcapf
expression, the fifty-fifty rule. Not
necessarily in a financial seme, but
in mutual forbearance, mutual esteem,
mutual concession and mutual self
denial." The defendant's brief went deep
Into the relations of the parties to
the issue; dissected- in- d-etail the tes
timony given at the trial in the
lower court, denied accusations of
moral degeneracy and extreme cruel
ty, and referred particularly to the
alleged misconduct of Mrs. Hawley
while the latter was at Bar View.
WltarMea Are Quoted.
Quoting witnesses for Mr. Hawley
at the previous trial, the brief sat
out that Helen C Kirk, wife of the
echool superintendent at Oregon City,
eupported by other witnesses, while
at Bar Yiw occupied a cottage near
that of Mrs. Hawley. Mrs. Kirk testi
fied, according to the brief, that she
saw the plaintiff and W. C. Johnson
alone together at the .lookout house
on the jetty; that she saw Johnson
on the porch of the latter's cottage
kiss Mrs. Hawley; that she saw
Johnson and Mrs. Hawley enter her
cottage after midnight and Johnson I
leave therefrom about 4 o'clock in
the morning. Other incidents of slmi- i
iar nature were related by Mrs. Kirk.
M. B. Cooper, according to the brief.
saw Mr. Johnson wearing a wrist
watch belonging to the plaintiff.
while Anna Davidson sa'd she saw
Johnson lying on a couch with his
head in Mrs Hawley's lap. Other wit
nesses who related incidents in sup
port of Mrs. Kirk included Mrs. Mabel
Morton. Helen C. Kelsay. H. I. Shel
don and Mrs. F. M. Smith, all of
whom were at Bar View the summer
Mrs. Hawley visited there.
Scandal Is Recalled.
"This case attracted a great deal
of attention and the courtroom it
Oregon City was crowded to Its fullest
capacity during the hearing. said
respondent's brief. "Many friends of
both parties were present, the con
test was severe, and the situation In
tense. The court had a splendid op
portunity to observe both plaintiff
and defendant under very trying cir
cumstances and, as the trial Judge
remarked, 'their attitude and de
meanor and the testimony, both oral
and documentary. impressed the
court that but one logical conclusion
can be reached the conclusion that
the defendant is entitled to a decree
of divorce based upon the false
charges made , in the amended com
Dlaint an in open court of a serious
offense on the part of the defendant.
Nothing can be more cruel and in
human than a false charge ' made
under the circumstances of this case,
Mrs. Hawley A censed.
"The plaintiff stands convicted by
her own testimony and the findings
of the court of an offense against the
vow which she took to at least honor
her husband, than which there can
be none more grave, bhe nas ais
graced herself beyond redemption
and has besmirched her innocent
child. The judgment of the trial
judge. In addition to being a careful
and correct decision, reflects the hu
man sympathy and love of absolute
Justice of a fearless and uprignc
chancellor.
If there ever was a chance of
bringing plaintiff and defendant to
gether. It was destroyed by the un
forgivable conduct of Marjorle Haw
ley in making inhuman accusations
against her husband. Never again
could Willard Hawley live with
plaintiff and retain self-respect; any
compromise cm nis part wouia, in
the eyes of the world, be an admis
sion of his guilt; to forgive her per
haps would be scriptural, but wholly
unnatural.
To compel any man with a drop
of red blood in his veins again to live
with a woman who had falsely and
publicly proclaimed him a degenerate
would be worse than death. There
can be no drawn contest. Therefore,
to deny a divorce in this case would
avail nothing, but prolong the agony
and expense."
ELECTRICAL ENERGY VAST
AXALYSIS OF SKAGIT PROJECT
STARTLES INVESTIGATORS.
Data Show Power Sufficient to
Support 2,520,000 Population
in Seattle by 1940.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 12. (Spe
cial.) If Seattle's population grows
to 2.520,000 inhabitants by 1940, then
it will only have kept pace with the
increase in electrical energy to be
provided by the proposed municipal
Skagit river project, it is pointed out
by investigators, as a result of fur
ther analysis of the data on that
project. The comparison gives a new
idea of the magnitude of the Skagit
project.
The total market for electrical
energy in Seattle at the present time
approximates 315.000,000 kilowatt
hours a year. The Skagit river proj
ect, when completed by 1940, will prJ
vide 2.500.000,000 kilowatt hours a
year. That means the Skagit project
will produce eight times the electrical
energy now needed to supply all of
Seattle's needs.
Figuring the city's present popula
tion at 315.00 the number of inhabi
tants would have to increase to
2,520.000 persons to keep pate with
the growth in the production of elec
trical energy.
Such a growth in population would
rtamrar the imagination of the aver
age- taxpayer. It would smash world
lecords. Not even the most sanguine
optimist believes this city will have
2,500,000 inhabitants in 1940, and
none of the investigators can figure
out how the city is going to use up
2.500,000.000 kilowatt hours energy
a year by 1940.
These facts, just developed by
thorough investigation of the project
and the amount of money required to
finish it. may result in a movement
hera to droD all construction work
until costs of labor and material
come down.

FEW THERE ARE among us whose minds
carry them back to days of '59! To the
days when Portland was a village of consider
ably less than 3000 inhabitants; when the present
site of its imposing business blocks and majestic skyscrap
ers was a part of the forest primeval, and when, instead of
the smoke ascending from its railroads, factories and ship
yards and the roar and din of traffic attesting its industrial
activities, there issued thence naught but the curling blue
smoke from some domestic fireside or Indian camp, the
sound of the woodsman's ax, the roar of the mountain
lion or the raucous cries of his fellows of the wild and,
as yet, almost trackless forest.
Linking that romantic past with the swift-moving present, the
Ladd & Tilton Bank stands, a living monument to the energy
and far-sighted vision of its brave-hearted pioneer founders, for
it was in June of 1859, just sixty-two years ago, that Messrs.
Ladd and Tilton first opened the doors of their banking house,
first in the Pacific northwest.
As the territory it served expanded and developed, so did the
Ladd & Tilton Bank grow into the highly modern banking institu
tion it now is; strengthening and augmenting its organization with
men of sterling worth men imbued with and reflecting the splendid
ideals of their predecessors.
Rendering a banking service ripened through three generations
of continuous activity and experience, trustworthy to the highest
degree, this financial pioneer of Portland and the Pacific northwest
offers a most complete and modern banking service to the individual,
firm or corporation.
