THE OREGON, DAILY" JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, .1004. .... rm LIFE SENTENCE M. IS A DIVORCE Wife, of Murderer Luebcke May Marry Again Without Legal noceedmgs Declares judge ' aeland--Prisoner May Answer Suit The moment man is sentenced to the penitentiary for life in Oregon, he-Is civilly dead and his wife may legally remarry without securing a divorce. . No decree of divorce can be entered and no other,-record of divorce is re quired other than the record of sentence. On the other hand, it ia against the spirit of American law to deny a. man the right to answer on the ground that he Is civilly dead after a. divorce suit has been Wed against him. This, in brief, is the opinion of Pre siding Judge Cleland, delivered today in the state circuit court in the suit brought by Mrs. Sophia Luebcke for di vorce v from Theodore ' Luebcke, serving a life . sentence at Salem for murder. The court, in delivering an opinion on the motion to strike out the answer filed by Luebcke through counsel said:, "The' defendant claims in his answer that suit was not filed, within a year after' he was sentenced and that his wife condoned his offense by calling at the penitentiary and sympathising with Mm. The question for the considera tion of the court, therefore, resolves It self in this wise: Give the right to pro pee against a convict civilly dead, give the right to serve him with the pro cesses of court and the right to pass judgment In a suit does his being civ illy dead prevent him from defending his rights, if he has any rights, In a claim brought against him? "It seems to the court that under these circumstances to serve papers and VIRGIN A SOCIETY IS PROJECTED J. L. Wells 1s leading a movement to form a Virginia society, composed of natives of Virginia In Oregon, and es pecially In Portland. In a casual con versation recently, several Portland men discovered that they all came from" the famous southern state, and that their early recollections were all of a kind. The bond of fellowship was formed, and out of this chance meeting has grown the movement for the organisation of a society of Virginians. . . IdS SAYS HE WAS A VICTIM MAK COKTTOTED OP ASBAUXT OH .

Jackson, the constable who made the arrest, swears that since the trial Mrs. Ickes has Informed him in effect that her husband was not guilty of the crime and that the case was a "put up Job" in order to separate her from him. In another affidavit the statement Is made by C. K. Dennle that he had. a conversation wl(h a brother of the pros ecuting witness during the trial of Ickes and that this brother at that time said: "That there was nothing In the charge; that about three months after Emma Oster had returned to the home of his sinter, Mrs. Barker, from the house of defendant, where she had been staying for some time, Mrs. Barker concocted a scheme of which the above charge Is the outcome, to try and get the defendant into the penitentiary; that after the plan had been formed Mrs. Ickes was sent for and she agreed to assist in the fur therance thereof In any way and man ner she could; that Mrs. Ickes intended if her husband was convicted to get a divorce and keep his money; that Mrs. Ickes thought and so said she knew it would be Impossible for her to secure a decree of divorce If her husband was not convicted; that I did not Inform any one or tne above facts until after the trial of this cause." All the exceptions to the Introduction of evidence by the prosecution at the trial, exceptions taken on account of In ability by the defense to introduce evi dence, and exceptions to the rulings of 1be court and Its denial of a request to have certain' Instructions given the Jury are contained In the document given Judge Bears.

I have never found a single case which goes to that extent, which even by im plication justifies the assumption that a man may be called upon legally to. make a defense and then be precluded from making that defense because he is civ1 Illy dead. ,.; -v "It may be, and there Is considerable reason to assume in such a case as this that as the very fact of life sentence be lng pronounced on a man makes him civilly dead, it thereby dissolves the marriage relation, marriage, being a civil Institution under the law. But that phase of the question ' does not -come before me and I do not think that the- court should entertain It at this time. - Accordingly the motion, to strike out the answer will be denied." After court had adjourned Judge Cle land discussed the subject further with a number of Interested persons. He be lieves Mrs. Luebcke can remarry now the same as If she were divorced. If her husband should ever be pardoned that would not affect the case, as the divorce resulting from his sentence. If the theory of the court Is correct, would be ss absolute as If the man enjoyed his civil rights and a decree were entered against him. The Restoration of his civil rights, or his resurrection to civil life, would not abrogate the divorce re sulting f ronr tits sentence. As yet the movement has hardly at tained full headway, as It was started but very recently, but already many Virginians have expressed their Intention of Joining the society, and it Is believed by those Interested that a permanent or ganisation with many members can soon be instituted. A meeting of Virginians will be called and steps taken toward a permanent banding together whenever enough names have been secured to In sure the society's success.

(Wtihlngtoo Bureau of The Journal.) Washington. Feb. '20. The plans of the Hyde-Benson ring to get possession of another Immense body of public lands through the creation of a forest reserve has been nipped in tbe bud by the recent disclosures. This was the- proposed creation of the Warner Mountain for est reserve in northern California and southern Oregon, amounting to about 1,000,000 acres. . : Hyde and Benson employed as their tools B. F. Allen and Grant I. Taggart to tske the preliminary steps toward the creation of this reserve, and the commis sioner of the general land office, as usual, was entirely complaisant. In 189 Forest Superintendent; Allen recom rnended. tb the reserve In question be created. $.Two years later Forest Su pervisor Taggart was sent to the region by Commissioner Hermann with instruc tions to report as to the necessity for the reserve. Taggart reported that there was a great necessity for the immediate crea tion of the reserve on account of. the denudation of the country by timber men, which was causing the drying up of the streams. One of Taggart's In genious reasons or the creation of the reserve was that such action would prevent frauds by timber speculators. This resulted In Taggart's report being approved by Commissioner Hermsnn, and 1,000,000 acres were withdrawn from entry. " , ' ' " " ' Preparatory to the Issuance of an ex ecutive order creating this reserve. Clif ford Pinchot, of the forestry department of agriculture, examined that region last year. He says that it is safe to say that no reserve will be created there, as half the land Is totally barren of tim ber, never had timber on it and proba bly never. will. This barren land, how ever, was perfectly suitable to the Benson-Hyde ring, as they could trade it for forested lands elsewhere. It is said at the general land office that much of this land is now in posses sion of timber grafters who anticipated the creation of the reserve. ,v POLICE DISCOVER A NEW OPIUM DEN A. raid was made on an opium den kept by Ah Lin, 180 Second street, shortly after 9 o'clock last night, by Sergeant Carpenter and Humane Offi cer Reslng. The den was one previ ously unknown to the police. The Chi nese keeper, Myrtle Miller, Roy Chapman and Frank Beutcher- were arrested and their "layouts" conflsested. - In the municipal court this ' morning the three smokers entered pleas of guilty to, the charge, but Ah Lin said he was not guilty of operating an opium den. His . case wentover until Tues day. .. Myrtle Miller, the woman captured in the raid, was let go on her own regng nlsance, pending good behavior. The men were fined $10. Miller Is said to be a fictitious name. It Is said that she is the daughter of prominent and wealthy Seattle people, She said she had been here six' months. having come from Valdes, Alaska. Chapman told Judge Hogue that he was . a consumptive, end that opium smoke was the only tiling that would help him. . TZOST YICTIMB BECOTEBIirO.

In'the circuit court yesterday, the case of John M. Needham et al.. against A. Wilson et al.,was de cided by Judge Boise in favor of the defense. The case grew out of a split in the church last summer, when El der A, Wilson, the pastor of the church, and two other members who were, with him, trustees, headed a portion of the membership in withdrawing and organiz ing a new church organization which was made an Independent church. . When these members withdrew, those remain ing reorganized by electing : three new trustees Messrs. Needham and his .two colleagues who appear as plaintiffs in this action and. the old church undertook to continue under the direction of the eldership of the "Church of God In the northwest" It appears that, prior to the split,, the Church purchased a lot and built a church, the cost of the prop erty being $490, and when the three trustees in whose name the property stood, withdrew from the church,, the newly elected trustees brought -this ac tion to recover the property for the church. Judge Boise In rendering his decislpn, stated that there was no tes timony that the higher authority in the church . had been .appealed to for a de cision, before, the matter as brought Into court, neither had any attempt been made to show that the Church of God was a corporation under the laws of the state,; and that in tbe absence of evi dence exhausting all remedies within the church tribunals, nothing could be done by the court, .and he therefore dismissed the proceedings. The result of this de cision Is that Elder Wilson and his asso ciates are in control f the church prop erty, and their church organisation, an independent church, is in possession of the original Church of God. The trial of the case consumed three days, and the light was a bitter one. The . lie was passed several times among the worthy brethren and matters were quite warm. The defense was called upon to bring documents into court to show Its author ity and right to act as it had done, and the only document presented was the New Testament, the -defendants holding that their code of laws and their en tire authority- were to be found In this book. An amusing Incident occurred Just as the case was concluded. When Judge Boise finished 'giving his decision. Judge Bonhsm, attorney for the plaintiffs, arose to address the court, giving notloe that he would ask for a rehearing of the esse, when Elder Wilson, who is of a combative nature, stepped up to his at torney, and gave him notice that he (Wilson) would address the court imme diately arer the attorney for the plain tiffs had finished, as he (Wilson) thought that the defense had the right to have the last word, and he thought the court did not fully understand the case. He was with difficulty restrained from de livering an address to the court. As he had won out In the litigation, his coun sel thought he ought to be satisfied and not press the matter any further. An Offloial Scandal. In the case of J. W. Jones vs. Super intendent C. W. Janes and Warden Frank Curtis, of the penitentiary, com menced here a few days ago, it was found that the plaintiff. Mr. Jones, is the father-in-law of Mr. Fouts, the guard who was dtschsrged some time ago, and who is a cousin of Mr. McMahan, the attorney In the. suit. The state officers decline to say anything of the case as they propose 'to try the matter on its merits. It is found upon investigation that the matter complained of at the penitentiary could with equal Justice be made a matter for investigation at the other institutions, where from time Im memorial the same conditions have, pre vailed, with the entire knowledge of the state boards and the public generally. In fact, a relative of the attorney In the case Is one of the beniflcarles of the state in this regard at the asylum. Exp art Printer Dead. Edward Lamb, one ot the best-known Journeyman printers In the United States, died In this city at S o'clock yes terday afternoon after several months' Illness of valvular heart trouble. Mr. Lamb had been a resident of Salem for the past six years, holding down a case In the state printing office for nearly all of that time. He was an expert com positor and was considered one of the best men in his line in the state. He was reared In Portland, where most of his relatives now reside, but during the greater part of his life worked at his trade In various sections of the coun try, and there is scarcely a city of any size In which the - Typographical union has an organization but he has been there and worked at his trade, and he always left with the friendship of all he had met. Six years ago he came back to Salem, and made this his home, and he soon came to occupy an enviable po sition in the community. During his stay here he worked for a time In the Capital Journal office as a linotype oper ator. About four months ago he was mar ried to Miss Lizzie Whltlock of Silver ton, and the marrlsge, while a short one. was most hsppy. He was a member of Capital assembly. No. 84, United Artie ans, and was a past-master artisan. -He was also an enthuslastlo member of Capital union. No. 210. International Typographical union, and one of Its most enthuslastlo members, and a true friend of ' organized labor everywhere. He leaves an aged mother In Portland, and has two sisters In that city, one sister in Astoria, and two in Walla Walla. " The funeral will probably be held next Sunday afternoon under - the auspices of the United Artisans snd the Typographical union. One of Mr. Lamb's sisters Is Mrs. Clossett, of the firm of Clossett & Devers of Portland. A Happy Marriage. On Wednesday evening, m one of the esstern suburbs of Salem, a happy mar riage was contracted. The parties were Charles H. Pfennig, a recent graduate of the Capital Business college of this city, and Miss Sarah F. Wilson of Estherville, la. The marriage Is ' the culmination of quite a romance. The bride is a most successful school teacher in her Iowa homo, and less than a year ago . came to Oregon on a visit. Here she met her fate in the shape of Mr. Pfennig, a bright youth with ambi tion,, hhe remained here while he fin ished his studies at the business col lege, and during her stay taught school, demonstrating her ability In this line of work. When the young man was through his classes, the hsppy couple was united in wedlock, and yesterday they left tor the bride's home at Esther "llle, la., where, they will reside. ZX.DEB SHOOTS HrMSEtr.

In the drift, however, tht values are increasing with every foot driven and the management will. not be surprised to encounter a fabulously rich ore shoot st most any time. It is now considered that the Midway Is a proven property and the policy of the company in the future will be to block out ore In a systematic manner and make a big mine of the property before Installing a mill. With this end in view sinking wUl be resumed at ah early date and they will go down another 100 feet.
