Mrs. Emma McCraken. of Oakland, won her fight on a maintenance con tract yesterday, when her father-ln-law, James It. McCraken, head of the McCraken Motor Car Company, con fessed Judgment of $300 in the court of District Judge Bell. A stormy morning session, in which the accusation of perjury was fung at Peter B. McCraken, of Portland, hus band of the plaintiff, by Attorney Elton Watkins, was brought to a close by adjournment at noon until 1:?0. At 1:30 the court was informed that the defendant in the case admitted his lia bility for the full amount prayed for, and the order was entered. The litigation was over a contract entered into by Mrs. McCraken's father-in-law last Summer, in which he agreed to pay her $75 a month maintenance as long as Peter B. McCraken remained in his employ as salesman for the motor car company. The McCrakens have been separated for about 13 months, al though not divorced. Salesman Sells Few Can. The last payment on this agreement was made in February. The sudden stoppage of checks brought Mrs. Mc Craken to Portland. Two suits were filed in the local courts. One was In the District Court for the alleged breach of maintenance contract, the other in the Circuit Court for collec tion of a note for $10,000 given by Mr. McCraken. the husband, in San Fran cisco shortly after marriage, and $2500 that Mrs. McCraken alleges she lent her husband. The latter case is still pending, an answer being filed Friday. While the suit settled yesterday was pending attorneys for the defense in timated that the correct procedure for Mrs. McCraken was not a lawsuit, but to have her husband arrested for non support. The suggestion was followed up with alacrity, but the action main tained before District Judge Jones re sulted in a dismissal two weeks ago. In the nonsupport case Peter Mc Craken testified that he had not earned a cent of commissions for the sale of motorcars since February 1, and for that reason was unable to support his wife. He alleged that all his income was $30 a month, given him by his father. Perjury Charge Intimated. On the witness stand yesterday James McCraken testified that his son had made two sales, one in April and one in March, with commissions total ing S71. "Do you mean to say that when your son testified some time ago that he had not sold a machine since February 1 he was committing perjury?" de manded Attorney Watkins. Mr. McCraken disclaimed any knowl edge of testimony at the former trial. The answer to the suit in the District Court alleged that the offer of $75 a month had been withdrawn prior to the time payments were stopped. Attorney Watkins introduced a letter yesterday purporting to have been written by Mr. McCraken. Sr., admitting that the money should be paid, but asserting that no money could be sent, for the reason that times were hard and his grocery bill. even, remained unpaid. Attorney Watkins threatened yester day to bring the matter of alleged per jury to the attention of the grand Jury. CHILDREN WILL PARADE 1.ITTI.K FOLK OK PIEDMOXT GIVE FLORAL PAGEANT.

Bonebrake. the new pastor of the First United Brethren Church, and newly elected president of the Portland Union Ministerial Association, elected last Monday. The mantle of Rev. C. C.

"Federation is the right move for many of the churches," said Mr. Bone brake, "including the United Brethren, Congregational, and the Evangelical family. Practically there is no differ ence in these denominations except in their government and methods, and these can be harmonized by mutual concessions. We can take tbe best of each and then get together. The trou ble has been each thinks the one is trying to swallow the other, with the result that union does not materialize. There must be concessions on each side." Rev. Bonebrake was district elder for two years, and for the past two years he has made his home in Hood River Valley, where he owns a fruit farm. Rev.
