She desires the court to dissplve the existing bonds of marrimony and to grant her the custody of, two minor children. Stillwell admits that he hai been a little too fond of intoxicants, but declares this fact has not kept him from aiding In the support- of his family. , He declares he is a fit and proper person to care for his children. As to the Tllamook property the wife declares it ia in her name and was "pur chased with the proceeds of her own In dividual toll, Stillwell says he bought the property and that It was deeded to the wife to be held in trust for the fam ily.

Among them was Anderson, who was tightly squeesed while endeavoring ' . to, extricate - himself from the tangled : mass of humanity. This Is the time he . thinks a man who brushed up close to him .must have stolen the money. . An derson now recalls the fact that the ' man, whose description he did not ob V tain, seemed in a very great hurry, and sflueesed tighter than any of the other passengers, as though he would be first to alight from the car.

"I will not answer your questlona, Mr. Watson said. "I do not know how the story got out I will make noth ing public until after the meeting to night. If there la ''anything for the public it will come out then." Treasurer Edward Holman of Port land Lodge Eagles denied that money had ever been given Secretary McDevltt by him. "Money is first paid to the aecretary and by him into the treasury," Mr. Hol man said. "I do not know, anything about any shortage, having been found except what I saw in The Journal of yesterday.

"Personally I know nothing against young McDevltt and I do not know how the story of a shortage in hla accounta sained circulation."

McDevltt, Jr., is a hail-fellow-well-met whos" society is highly enjoyed by the members of hla act. He is, however, accused of being "rather wild" and of demonstrating a tendency to be "sporty." His name waa mentioned recently in connection with an alleged attempt td swindle several insurance companies out of an aggregate of 12,750. ACCUSED WOMAN , MAY NOT BE TRIED Howard Elliott, second vlce-braldent or the Burlington system, has Just Is sued a : comprehensive circular to the freight agents and others responsible for the care of rolling stock, regarding the registry ana care or freight cara. Owing to an Imperfect system and division of the work Into several de partments the road officials have been unable to keep thorough and accurate account of all cars owned by the com pany.. - ,-- IV ' During the recent car blockade ia the East Western roads found It neces aary to iaaue blockade order, to the ef fect, that no car shipment, would be made east of Chicago except in cara belonging to the company operating at roint of destination. ' . The-result was that many Burling ton cars were held in various parts of Oregon and Washington and used by other lines. The circular states that W: IX'Barnea will act aa auperlntendent of ear ser vice, with headquarters in Chicago. He will have an assistant in Lincoln and one in 8t. Louis. Daily reports are to be made uy agents over the system and It is beiievea that jne loss to tne com pany will in- this way be minimised. The Burlington has an order placed for 10,000 freight cars, about 45.000 of which have been delivered. This rep resents an Investment of t30.000.000 and the loss or detention of cars meana a considerable loss to the company. Will Attend Convention. C. J. .Mills, livestock agent of the O.
