The possibilities of the peach were exploited at the show of dainties and until one visited the exhibit, one could have little idea of the very many items for the menu into which the peach enters. There were pickled peaches, peach meringue, peach shortcake, pies galore, many sorts of preserve, besides dump lings, jam, cobblers and other dishes. The only thins lacking seemed to be peach Melba. There were also displays of novel ties in peach dishes, tasty confections that caused the mouth of the visitor to water. Among these was a peach dish, a la Louis Fontana, which won honorable . mention and which was de-; cidedly good to look upon. Judges yesterday had a hard time picking out the best cooked dishes in order to award prizes, but the list was completed early in the afternoon to the best of the ability of the committee men and the selections for honors were generally approved.

Members of this com mittee on duty during day were: Mrs. Lulu rahl, Mrs. Theresa Depue, Miss Thelma Hollingsworth, Miss Ethel dull ing and Miss Jennie Hornecker. The efforts of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. to boost the peach, as a fitting climax for Peach week, were success ful, and a large number of people visited the show. William McMurray, general passenger agent for the line, was much interetsed in it and spent a large part of the day there.

' WISH TO REMARRY IS TOLD "Fondness and Infatuation for Mary Merges' Cause Given for Ieser tion. Which She Says Took Place on July 20, 1014. Answering in an affidavit the charges made in the divorce suit brought cy Dr. Sandford B. Whiting, well-known Portland physician, Mrs. Whiting ac cuses her husband of intimacy with Mrs. Mary Merges, divorced wife of E. E. Merges. Mrs. Whiting declares in the affidavit, which was tiled in County Clerk Cof fey's office yesterday, that Dr. Whiting "does not come Into this court of equity with clean hands, and that he has cruelly and wrongfully abused and mis treated me.' Dr. Whiting's divorce suit was filed two weeks ago. In tt he alleged that Mrs. Whiting had used abusive lan guage toward him, had ordered him to leave their home, and had thrown "va rious articles" at him. Definite Denials Made. Answering these charges Mrs. Whit ing says: I have not been guilty of cruel and abusive treatment toward him In the particulars specified in his complaint or In any other particular. "He did not leave home In August, 1914, . . . nor was he then or at any time ordered by me to leave home or called insulting and opprobrious names. . . . It is untrue that 1 ever assaulted or struck him or threw articles at him or that I. in any way, conducted myself so as to make it impossible for plaintiff and me to live together as husband and wife." Mrs. White also denies that she in terfered with his practice as physician and surgeon, saying: "At times, when he was dissipating and carousing and neglecting his practice, I have protected him and done everything in my power to keep and to satisfy his patients and to promote him in his profession." Money for Children Sought. Accompanying Mrs. Whiting's affi davit Is a motion asking '.he court to order rr. Whiting to pay $200 a month for the support of their two children, 7 and 5 years of age; $150 a month for the support of herself and $500 with which to defend the suit against her self. "He is anxious to be divorced from me so that he may marry Mary Merges, the divorced wife of E.. E. Merges." says Mrs. Whiting's affidavit. "Because I did not apply for a divorce from him, he proposed through third persons that I do so, and prior to the commencement of this suit his attorney proposed the same thing to my attorneys, and it was only after he saw I would not voluntarily release him from our bonds of matrimony that he had the effronter to make and file his complaint." "For a long period of time prior to his deserting me on July 20, 1914," says Mrs. Whiting, "he drank excessively. Often when under the influence of liquor he was in a frenzied condition. It was dangerous at such times for me to be and remain in the same house with him, and I was often put in fear of 'my life by his conduct toward me. At such times he was brutal and abusive and called me vile-names and has assaulted and choked me and threatened me with firearms. Wife Chiirgr Attack at Mght "I have been compelled many times to flee from him, and on one occasion he became dangerously intoxicated and attacked me in our home and 1 was compelled in the night time to run from the house in my stocking feet through the rain and without a coat or wrap and to take refuge with a lady friend." Continuing with the charges, which Involve Mrs. Merges, Mrs. Whiting says: Plain tiff's reason for deserting me on July 20, 1914, was his fondness and infatuation for Mary Merges. For many months prior to the desertion he and Mary Merges were unduly intimate, and it was because she succeeded in com pletely alienating his affections from me that he left his home and abandoned his wife and children and took up his abode at the Oregon Hotel. Long prior to so leaving me he flaunted in my face his preference for the company and companionship of Mary Merges to that of mine, and he contrived in every way possible, such as by inviting her to our house and by attending functions where she was present, to associate with her. J Wife Retarna V'nexpectedly. "His infatuation for Mary Merges continued and ripened to such an ex tent that he undertook to avoid the embarrassment of my presence by in ducing me and our children to leave Portland on a proposed six months trip. In response to his urging 1 went with my children to California in the Summer of 1914. 1 did not stay as long as he requested. Instead 1 returned shortly and found that he had, during my absence, been spending much of his time with Mary Merges at Seaside, Or., and elsewhere," After charging Dr. Whiting with criminal intimacy with Mrs. Merges, Mrs. Whiting continues in her sworn affidavit: "The conduct of plaintiff and said Mary Merges became so scandalous and ' notorious that I finally secured attorneys' for the purpose of prose cuting tn action against her for alien ating his affections from me. On De cember 30, 1914, my attorneys wrote to . Mrs. Merges and advised her of their employment and my charges against her. She did not deny that she had alienated my husband s affections. Instead, she sent Attorney Lou Tarpley to my attorneys to negotiate for a set tlement, of my cause of action against her. "While the negotiations were pend ing, she suddenly and secretly left Portland because she was unable to refute or successfully contest my charges; and she has . ever since ab sented herself from the State of Ore gon to avoid being sued by me, there by admitting her guilt. ClandeMtine Meetings Alleged. ' "Since so surreptitiously leaving the State of Oregon, Mary MerKes and plaintiff have continued the: r unlaw ful relations at convenient places in Washington and havo had clandestine meetings at Vancouver and Seattle and other places in that state." Mrs. Whiting charges her husband with stopping her credit, allowing her only $150 a month on which to run her household, while he was living in lux ury himself. "Several days prior to leaving home and deserting me," she swears, "he stopped my credit at the stores. When he left he took with him our two auto mobiles . . . and he has repeatedly since refused me any use f either, even when, he was away frm Port land. Kver since deserting me he has maintained expensive apartments in the Oregon Hotel and has been a liberal spender with everyone but his family. PHYSICIAN'S WIFE WHO MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGES IN ANSWERING DIVORCE SUIT. MRS. 8AXDFORI) B. WBlTISCk Ho enjoys every comfort and luxury and denies himself nothing:. He has a large and lucrative practice and, in addition, is the owner of stocks and bonds and other personal and real property." In Augrust and 'September, 1914. says Mr. Whiting, Dr. Whiting paid her $200 a month and in addition paid the house rent of J60 a month on their home at 491 East Sixteenth street North. From October to January, she says, he paid her 245 a month and re quired her to pay the house rent, which had been reduced to $45. Since Janu ary, she says in her affidavit, he has paid her $150 a month and haa required her to pay all the expenses. Father Would Have Sons. Dr. Whiting also Is accused by his wife of trying to wean the two sons away from her. Frequently, she says, but without regularity, he calls for them or sends for them and takes them out. . "There is no regularity in the days or hours of his calls except, that he rarely takes them on a Sunday and usually takes them in the evening. He does not consult me concerning this nor consider my convenience. He usually takes them to the Oregon Hotel and to the grillroom where there Is considerable drinking and cabaret dancing and where the surroundings are not good for such young children. "When he takes them he usually buys them whatever their childish de sires prompt them to ask. and, by spending money freely on them, which I am unable to do, deliberately seeks to create the impression In their young minds that their father is generous and their mother stingy with thero." Mrs. Whiting has engaged 'the law firm of Malarkey, Seabrook & Dibble to defend her against Dr. Whiting's di vorce suit. DOCTOR'S ATTOKXKY TALKS $2230 Placed in Bank Recently to ' Care for Mrs. Whiting, He Says. Not having had opportunity to read thoroughly the answer filed by Mrs. Whiting, Thomas Mannix, attorney for Dr. Sandford Whiting in the divorce suit, last night was unable to comment on charges made except in a general way. In behalf of Dr. Whiting he gave out the following statement: "With reference to Dr. Whiting' care of Mrs. Whiting since their sep aration, Dr. Whiting has authorized me to say- that he has given $200 a month for her maintenance and has provided for the caro of the children through out that time. Within the last month ne has placed $2250 in a local bank to take care of Mrs. Whiting in every way. "I shall go over the pleadings in detail as soon as possible, but in the meantime I wish to make this state ment in Dr. Whiting's behalf inasmuch as the answer. generally speaking, seems to throw another light on his efforts In behalf of her welfare since the separation."

GREENLEAF AT REST Fl'NKR.lI. SERVICES OF VETERAN CIVIL. K.WIXEKR HELD. Grand Army Officiates at CrematorlmHs Ceremonies Meld for Formtr Coonty Assessor. The funeral of Captain Robert S. Greenleaf was held yesterday at 10 o'clock from the First Unitarian Church, Broadway and Tamhill etreet, with Dr. Thomas Eliot officiating. Dr. Eliot returned from California to take charge of the services. ' Following services at the church, there "Were held ceremonies at the Port land Crematorium under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic, of which Mr. Greenleaf was a member. Pallbearers were William Ladd, A. B. Slauson. Douglas Taylor, D. P. Dabney, John McQuinn and William F. Wood ward. Captain Greenleaf was a veteran civil engineer of this city, and died at his home, 105 North Eighteenth street. Thursday after an illness of several weeks. An innovation of Captain Greenleaf when he was County Assessor in 1894, that since lias been adopted by most of the counties of the state, is recalled by H. H. Northup. When Captain Green leaf was elected the assessment rolT was made by placing the names of the owners of property in alphabetical or der and the description of the prop erty followed. If, therefore, one had the description of property, but did not know the name of the owner, it was almost impossible to determine whether the taxes had been paid or not. When Captain Greenleaf was estab lished, Mr. Northup recalls, he adopted a new plan and one that cost him much work. He made the roll by taking the property in order and the name fol lowed. In this way much time was saved, and all property was assessed, none escaping the attention of the As sessor. Another was the making of a book in which the name of each taxpayer was placed, alphabetically, and the pase and number of line in the assess ment book given to all property where his name appeared. Thus the conven ience of the taxpayer and those wait ing upon him in the tax-paying de partment were both greatly facilitated. STATE LEVY TO BE LOWER Washington Tax Expected to Be Ap proximately 6.8 7 Mills. OLYMPIA. Wash., Sept. 4. (Special.) The Washington State Board of Equalization, which will convene Tues day, probably will be able to reduce the state tax levy, which last year was 8.07 mills, to not more than 6.87 mills. According to estimates of two state boards, this low figure may be reached and provision may yet be made for raising by 1917 sufficient money to retire Washington's small state debt, $208,000 in bonds issued in 1905 to refund illegal normal school warrants. Governor Lister has been strongly urg ing that provision be made immedi ately for the retirement of these bonds. Lumber Company Expands. SPRINGFIELD. Or., Sept. 4 (Spe cial.) Work will begin next week on an extension of 930 feet of gangway for the storage of lumber in the local yards of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com pany. Seven hundred piles will be driven, requiring the work of a crew of a dozen men for six weeks. SHE DARKENED HER - GRAY HAIR A Kansas City Lady Darkened Her Gray Hair and Stimulated Its Growth by a Simple Home Process. She Tells How She Did It. A well-known resident of Kansas City. Mo, who darkened her gray hair Dy a simple home process, made the following statement: "Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray or laded hair,' stimulate its growth and make It soft and glossy with this sim ple recipe, which they can mix at home. To half pint of water add 1 ox. of bay rum. 1 small box of Barbo Cor.. pound ami Vi oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be purchased at any drugstore at very little cost. Apply to the hair every other day until the gray hair Is darkened sufficiently, then every two weeks. This mixture re- I lieves scalp troubles and is excellent for dandruff and falling hair. It does not stain the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. It will make, a gray haired person look 10 to 0 years younger. Adv.
