The conference, which is canea for noon, will be held in the Old Col ony club, Multnomah hotel. It may be decided not to go Into the legal tangle brought about by the 14 members of the state senate to deter mine the validity of the proposed con stitutional amendment and the gaso line revenue bill, but instead to work out a new plan.

According to the court records in Washington county, the divorce de cree obtained by Mrs. Purdin in Port land on December 19, last, was not the first suit of this kind in which the pair figured, for Purdin obtained a divorce from his wife at Hillsboro on September 2, 1916.

The Purdins originally were mar ried in Portland on February 5, 1913. after Mrs. Purdin had been divorced by Charles A. Yergen, a hop grower of the T,urel district She had two children by the first husband, who were awarded to their father. The pair, however, were unable to get along and this resulted In the Hillsboro divorce. Later a recon ciliation was effected and they were re-married at Kalama. Wash., in 1917. Again in 1920 a divorce suit was asked in Portland by Mrs. Purdin and the case was later dismissed. She again started suit late this fall and won her decree shortly before Christmas. . On the advice of his attorney, 'Pur din thus far has refused to discuss the case with anyone. Throughout the day yesterday he complained of pains in his head and stomach, and although he has Im proved greatly during the past few days, he was said to be yet a very sick man. Formal charges of first-degree mur der were filed against the prisoner by Deputy District Attorney Mowry. PAY OFF YOUR MORTGAGE In monthly Installments, and really own your home.
