'' 'doodfittinsr, worth 05c and Defense Has Not Lost All Hope Important Questions of Law That ' Are Involved and Have Been Passed Upon la theCase. Although' Judges Seara has 'rendered decUIon In the famoua Marquam prop erty caee, overruling the demurrer of de fendonta and giving Judge Marquam an other chance to redeem hla property, the caae la not yet ended. The defendants, the Title Guarantee c Trust Company, J. T. Ross- and others, have taken 30 days In which to file an answer, and there Is prospect of. much litigation yet before Marquam la granted that for which he prays. Attorney Wallace McCamant. repre senting the defendants in the suit. Is au thority for the statement that the re cent decision was not wholly In opposi tion .to the stand taken by hla clients. To a reporter for TheJournal, Mr. "Mc Camant said:' V TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. "TheiV were two Important legal ques tions Involved In the demurrer, which waa presented by defendants and over ruled bjrtu court. . These questions were: "First, can a trustee, holding property for the benefit of another, bid and buy at a foreclosure gale under a prior mort- . gager '.'Second, did the previous adjudication against. Marquam, In the foreclosure suit. bar hie right to complain of -alleged mls .eonduct on the part of the trustee, prior to the decree rendered i the foreclosure suit? , "After citing and quoting a large num ber of authorities, Judge Sears decided ' both' of these questions In thb affirmative and in accordance with the contention of the defendants. H stated, . however, that of oil the cases -Which he bad ex amined on - the first of these questions, ho had found none In which the case had been determined on demurrer. He said that courts of equity regarded transac tlons between trustee and their prin cipals with watchful care, And that ha would, therefore, call upon , the Title Guarantee Sc Trust Company to answer and permit an examination to be made Into the questions raised by the com plaint 4 lie was satisfied, and so stated, that the bulk of the chafes in the com plaint aa to the misconduct of the trus tee, charged no illegal acta, and that Buch negllgenee es was alleged In tho complaint, was concluded as against plaintiff by the previous adjudication, except so far as these charge related - to matters which took "place after tho decree In tha former suit . STILL TIME TO ACT. i "The defendants toojc Jo days in which to answer."- .---- MrV McCamant saya he appreciates the Interest and great pains taken in the case by- judge Seam, and that he be lieves the search made by his honor to throw light on the subject was most thor ough. While he feels that the defense sustained a loss in the overruling of Its demurrer.' he does not feel that the case baa of necessity been loBt or gained by progress thus far made. MOFFITT STILL' HELD. Contrary to expectation, Tercy Moffltt, tield . under . a fugitive warrant on the charge of embeeclement of moneys from a dairy company in Hong Kong, whs not discharged from custody today. He" was brought up before United States Com .mlasloner, sraden and the case set for hearing. ,-' It was expected that the flaw found in the paper issued by Consul Bacon wouJU invalidate all. proceedings . SEEKING HER BROTHER. (Journal Special Service.) gALEM, Jan. ZI-Gov. Chamberlain haa received a letter from Mrs.(- Albert John son, Westfield avenue, Lorraine,, N. J., asking fdr Information, concerning her brother. Charles A- May, whom she haa not heard from for several' years. Unless he can be found, the property left by his father la in danger of being lost. He formerly resided In Portland, where he was engaged in the business f , sign palatine. UTAH REQUESTED TO GIVE MORE Special Commissioner Mclsaac Says ' $10,000 Is Too Little. The following clipping from Tho-SaW-i Lake Tribune of Jenuary IT, shows the kind of JfOTk that Special Commissioner Mclaaae of the Lewis and Clark Fair is 'dolnir In Utah: "Utah has an assessed valuation of tia0,000, with SO,000 taxpayers, and If each of these- paid X cents a year for two years, it would be Ho.ooo. which would not be too much. In fact, I think that $50,000 should be appropriated by the Utah Legislature for this purpose. Five hundred thousand dollars haa been raised In tho City of Portland alone, and a bill has passed its second reading In the Oregon Legislature and been- refer red to the committee on appropriations, giving $r.OC,000 more. ' "Utah Is a state of magnificent propor tions, and these possibilities should be brought to tho attention of the great number of Eastern people whom we ex pect will visit the- Kit position. The Ex position, will aim to attract people and wealth to aid in the development of la tent or growing industries In the West. There are hosts of people in the East who arc anxious to come West, and if they can but be convinced of the mar velous possibilities of the region tra versed by Lewis and Clark and the ter ritory immediately surrounding, will flock to tho West in mighty numbers. . . . In showing the possibilities of com merce with the Orient through the West ern gates of America, the Exposition will bring lasting benefits." NEW CAVALRY BOOTS. Ordered by the Government Merely a Kew Style Without aa Improvement meat In Quality of the Boots. The U. S. Government has changed the Style in cavalry boots.

The Mayor's mes sage, reads: "I herewith retura to the Council ordinance No. 13,141, entitled "All ordinance to forfeit and , declare of no Validity such franchises and priV' lieges granted by the City of Portland and the former cities of Alblna and East Portland as are not In actual' use or en' joymbnt or which the grantees thereof have not in good faith commenced to ex erclse," for the reason that section 108 of the new charter, which is now in ef feet, ..makes all - necessary 'provisions upon this subject, and further provides that the1 grantees of such franchises aa have not heretofore been In use,, may1 have six months la which to commence the exercise of such franchises.

Coles, defendant In the sensa tlonal divorce action. wherein he stands accused of almost all forms of cruelty toward hla wife, took the stand thla morning and told his story to Judge Cle- land. "Where were you married?' was tha first question of Attorney Moreland. "Newport News, and in 1890." An attempt waa made to bring "tha mother-in-law question" into the case, tha defense claiming Mrs. Cuthlll creat ed 11 tha trouble, but the Court ruled rntrist it Witness said he earned scarcely f S per week during the bard times. Ha said Mrs. ColeS had access to all his money, and ha sever restricted her in expenditures. Tha defendant was excused and Mrs. Ruth Hurd took the stand, testifying that tha Coles home was 'well furnished and tha food good and plenty. Mrs. Coles evidently did not agree with this, for she hissed the witness. ana ner attorney naa to repress ner. Witness also said Mrs. Coles told her she out her wrist In striking back at Colea, her hand smashing through a window. Last night, witness said, the Coles house waa ' in splendid condition. there being plenty of cooking utensils. edibles and furniture. The stove lids. however, were broken. Cross-examination brought out the fact that Coles had tnvited her to go out and inspect the house. J. IT. Hand next testified. He had been In partnership with Coles In 1899 and 1900tand.had. .known him nine years. An attempt was made to prove Coles to be a man of excellent tempera- ment, but the Court ruled that nothing but family history was wanted. The defendant then took the stand. and denied in toto everything alleged against him. SHOCKING TESTIMONY.
