NO DIVORGE NEEDED Court Says Life Sentence Ends Marriage Contract DONVICT IS' LEGALLY DEAD Wife of Theodore Luebcke, Now In Prison, May Remarry Again With out Any Further Dissolution of Her- Matrimonial Ties. A man imprisoned in the Penitentiary for life is legally and morally dead, and his -wife can marry again -without bavins first procured a divorce. This opinion was expressed yesterday by Judge Cleland in the case of Sophia Luebcke vs. Theodore Luebcke. In 1896 Luebcke was convicted in Port land of murder in the second degree, and received a life sentence. Recently his -wife commenced suit against him for a divorce, and Luebcke, who in seeking to obtain a pardon, filed an answer stating that she -was not entitled to prosecute "the action because she had allowed more than three years to elapse before filing the com plaint, and also had visited him frequent ly at the Penitentiary and had condoned his offense. George J. Cameron, who represents Mrs. Luebcke as attorney, filed a motion to Btrlke out the answer on the ground that Luebcke Is civilly dead and has no1 stand ing in vourt. Judge Cleland in his decis ion, while expressing the opinion that Mrs. Luebcke Is privileged to marry without having obtained a divorce, since this suit has begun, allowed the answer to stand, thinking that as a result of his so doing an appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court and a decision secured on this point, none having heretofore been ren dered. In passing upon the case Judge C.eland said: "The defendant claims In his answer that suit was not filed -within a year after he was sentenced, and that his wife for gave his offense by calling at the Peni tentiary and sympathizing with him. The question for the consideration, of the court, therefore, resolves itself in this way. Give the right to proceed against a ;onvict civilly dead; give the right to serve him with the processes of the court, and the right to secure judgment in a suit. Does his being civilly dead prevent him from defending his lights, if he has any rights, In a suit brought against him? "It seems to the court that under the circumstances to serve papers and thereby rail upon him to make a defense is en tirely against the spirit of our law, un less good reasons should be shown for adopting such a course. I have never found a single caso which goes to that extent, which even by Implication justi fies the assumption that a man may be called upon legally to make a defense and then be precluded .from making that Defease because he is civilly dead. "It may be, and there is considerable reason to assume, in such a case as this, that the very fact of a life sentence being pronounced on a man makes him civilly 3ead, and thereby dissolves the marriage relation, being a civil institution under the law, but that phaso of the question floes not come before me, and I do not think that the court should entertain it at this time. Accordingly, a motion to strike out the answer will be denied." Ater court adjourned Judge Cleland d'scussed tin matter with some attorneys and others, and said he thought Mrs. Luebcke can remarry now, the same as if st" had been divorced, and that if Luetjke should be parried it would not HINTS FOR THE Monday, February 22.

JOHNSON HAS A SPECK OF THE PRICELESS .SUBSTANCE. In the Darkness It Blazes Away Like a Constellation, and Never Grows Dim. A piece of radium about the size and shape of half the second hand on a lady's watch has found Its way to Portland in what is known as a spin thariscope and is at the present time blazing away in the pocket of Mr. K. C Johnson. It Is encased in all sorts of coverings of metal and leather to keep it from exerting its force through Mr. Johnson's clothes and making an ugly sore. It would do It, if it wore not properly cribbed and cabined with in the spinthariscope Professor A. B. Leckenby. formerly of tho State Experimental Station at Union, passed through Portland last week and left the spinthariscope with Mr. Johnson. He had. had it sent from London. The device was Invented by Sir William Crookeand forms a pocket edition of the eighth wonder of tho world. When a reporter called on the pos sessor of the radium, ot which there Is fully one-twentieth of a milligramme in the United States, he was ushered into a dark room and allowed to rest his eyes on an atmosphere about the color of a olack cat until they became focused to darkness and then he was allowed to look at the spinthariscope. A combustion of stars emanated from the little brass-colored needle. They left the radium with startling speed and died away as suddenly. The back ground was shiny-white sulphide of zinc. The reporter thought that per haps the meteor effedt had been tt.rned on for his especial benefit and pre sumed the needle was wearing away before his eyes, and that the sulphide of zinc was having some wasting effect upon it, but he learned that radium always acta that way and that all the radium in the world could give out heat and light forever and a day and still defy the law of the conservation of energy by not diminishing to an ap preciable extent. And this was not pure radium. In fact, radium does not exist by itself. As soon as it is set free it joins with some other clement. The two combina tions in which it has the strongest ef fect are the bromide and chloride of radium. This one was a bromide. On the outside of the spinthariscope there Is a remark that the radium on the inside has on activity of 300,000. This means that it does things with about 300,000 times as much force as anything else, and that when it Is around it makes the aifV 300,000 times more capable of conducting electricity. Some pieces of radium have an activity ot 1,500,000. IEGI0N OF LEWISES. Patriotic Society of Persons Bearing Name to Help Fair. SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 19. (To the Editor.) The many Lewis readers of The Oregonlan and their friends may be interested to learn .that the Lewis race of the United States has organ ized a fraternal, genealogical, historic al and patriotic society under the name of the Loyal Lewis Legion, and estab lished its home office and hall of rec ords in tho historic town of West Kingston, B. L While this society Is not yet three years old, it has a large membership In almost every state In the Union. .The legion has an official organ in Lewisiano, a monthly Journal, now in its fourteenth year and volume, which is edited by Professor Carl A. Lewis, of Guilford, Conn. The legion is composed of represent tative ladies and gentlemen, and is a three-degree secret society, thoroughly organized and prudently managed. Its membership is made up of busy and prosperous people In the communities In which they live. The legion is en titled to great credit for much impor tant work already accomplished. It has secured rec6gnltlon by the manage ment of the St. Louis and Portland Ex positions, In tho selection of "Lewis days" for a meeting of Lewises and ap propriate exercises commemorating the life, character and services of the great Virginian and explorer. Captain Meri wether Lewis, of Lewis and Clark fame. September 23, 1904, has been set apart as Lewis day in St. Louis, and August 12, 1905, is Lewis day at Port land. Edward S. Lewis, a prominent mer chant and citizen of St- Louis, has been appointed chairman of the executive committee of tho Lewis day exercises, and invites all persons at all Interested to send him Lewis names and addresses. It is claimed that his official roster of names Is "fast approaching the ten thousand mark. It behooves the Lewises of Portland and Oren to organize at once for the proper celebration of Lewis day at our Exposition on August 12, which will mark the centennial of the arrival of tho Lewis and Clark expedition in the Oregon Country. FRANK P. LEWIS. How to'Work" Old Soldiers. NEWBERG, Or., Feb. IS. (To the Editor.) A great many newspaper edi tors are worried because a service pen sion, if the law passes, is going to de moralize the old soldiers. Most of these (the soldiers, not tho editors) have been to the doctor several times over to have their various ailments diag nosed, in orderthat they might get a pension or an" increase. And I have not heard ot one who did not take all that was awarded him. The Brooklyn Times says: "It was tho men of high purpose who went to the front when the Nation's life was in danger, because they were determined that, if the sacrifice of their lives could prevent it, the cause of free govern ment would not perish from the earth. These men would not accept a service pension now." If there Is an old soldier who Is not already receiving more than a service pension would give him who will not FOUND AT 70. The Power of Food. An Illinois lady who never knew what health was unUl she reached her 70th year presents ah unusually convincing case of the power of proper food. She says: "I am 74 years old this Fall and I never bad good health that I can remember since I was a child, unUl I commenced to use Grape-Nuts lour years ago. "From the very first I could feel a vast Improvement, and now in four years I have gained so that I do all my own work, and I feci I cannot say too much in favor of Grape-Nuts and what this grand food has done for me. as old as I am.

Strange that a matter of two to four dollars per month for tho little remainder of a nearly spent life Is going to convert an exalted patriot Into a mercenary. But Congress need not pass the bill If It docs not want to. There is no fellow who Is more easily worked'-for a sucker than the average old soldier. Just let them pass it through the House, and hang It up in the Senate.
