$500,000 Asked of Banker
for Breach of Promise.
LOVE LETTERS ARE HELD
Marie Porquet Alleges Young
Millionaire Induced Her to
Come Here From France.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 26. Childhood
friendship brought romance, differ
ences of fortune,' race and religion
intervened, and now four pounds of
letters, worth perhaps $125,000 a
, pound, arc relied upon by Marie
Porquet in her $500,000 tfreach of
promise suit against Baron James
Henri DeRothschild, member of the
famous family of bankers.
Announcement of the suit, made
today, revealed that the young
baron, he is 28, now is somewhere in
France, having returned from this
country, where he came not; long
ago to take a three-year experience
course In banking and finance a la
Amerlcaine. The young woman
came bare last May. The object of
her arrival was that the marriage
might take place in this country,
because th fact that the young
banker ds a Jew and she a Gentile
had1 been an obstacle lit France. It
seems that a summons in the suit
was served some time ago on the
student of finance, who later re
turned tt France. s
It was reported here that he has
denied that he promised to marry
Miss. Porquet. Her lawyers said
stoe has letters, four pounds of them.
that Indicate she is well grounded
in her claim. She says she was
ealledi tram France by ihim, but that
he failed to make good his promise.
The young woman is sympathetic,
with. a 'heart of igold," as the prov
erbs say, "Alas, poor youth," she
fllghed, "alas to think of his having
to (travel on a slow snip, and for
fear I should have him arrested. I
, would not think of such a thing."
Peinaps It 'is this tender heart
(alas ounds better n French, it's
ftelas) that, her lawyers say, led the
banker to oign letters "tenderly
yours" and "eternally yours," a mat
ter which will be discussed before
the Jury.

OREGON CITY, Or., July 26.
(Special.) Two houses east of
Jennings Lodge, on the Oregon City
car line, were destroyed by fire
which broke out at 8:30 o'clock
tonight. A third residence, owned
by David Hinman, was scorched "by
this flames, but was not damaged
materially.
The homes destroyed were those
of William Berry and Mrs. Adeline
In galls. The fire started from an
overheated stove in the Berry
home, and spread to the' other resi
dence, which was close by.
The loss to the Berry home, where
all the furniture was destroyed, was
estimated at $7000. . The furniture
in the Ingalls home was saved, and
the loss was estimated at $3000.
Neighbors formed a bucket bri
gade and tried to save the buildings,
but were unable to do more than
save the Hinman home, even with
the help of reinforcements from
Oregon City and Gladstone. The
amount of insurance on the build
ings could not be determined. Mr.
Berry was said to be sick in a hos

Judges Bingham and Kelly, who
will hear the action en banc, have
expressed a desire that the case
shall get under way as soon as pos
sible so that it may be completed
without interfering in any way with
the: November election. Attorneys
interested in the proceedings said
that eight weeks probably would

More Fire Fighters Sent to Boul
der Creek District in Ore
gon National Forest.
T. H. Sherrard, supervisor of the
Oregon national forest, who is on
the scene of the Herman creek fire,
reported to his local offices yester
day and said the situation at the
fire is improved, but is not such as
to allow him to relinquish the con
stant vigil which has been main
tained. "The fire is not controlled," he
said, "but it is in much better shape.
I do not know when I shall be
able to leave it."
Men are being sent in every day
from Herman creek to be paid off.
The fire has been checked on almost
every side and requires fewer men
to guard the lines. It will continue
to give trouble for some time, but
is by no means raging at its former
pace. ,
More men were sent yesterday to
the fire in the Oregon forest at
Boulder creek. It was thought to be
in much better condition yesterday.
It is burning on steep lands and is
difficult. to fight effectively. With
the augmentation in the. forces, it
is hoped to have it well in hand
within a few days.
The fire east of Eugene at Blue
river was thought to be more nearly
under control yesterday. No further
reports had been heard from the
fighters, and lack of information
was indicative of better conditions.
"The, outlook is gradually grow
ing better on the coast," said C. C.
Scott of the Forest Fire Patrol as
sociation yesterday. Men are con
stantly being paid off by the asso
ciation. The depletion of forces in
all sections points to much more
favorable conditions for the fighters.
Of course, enough men are being
held to patrol the lines and keep the
fires from lumping them. The fires
will take some time to.burn out in
the centers, but will be drenched if
ever, a rain will come to the rescue.
The Salmonberry river country
was the only spot which reported
rain. There is yet no prospect of
showers throughout the state. This
is the usual season for lightning
storms in the forests, but none has
been reported as yet.
