Smearing the American flag with red

relation to an allegation of cruelty in
a suit for divorce.
Such was the declaration of Judge
Bronaugh In the circuit court this
morning In denying Eva M. Palmerton
a ivorce rrom urrin Palmerton.
The Judge added that the Insult to the
flag waa all the more reprehensible in
this case because Palmerton had only

Judge Bronaugh said that the charges
that Palmerton Is a Socialist or an
anarchist or a member of the inner
circle of the Western Federation of
Miners come under tbe same rule, for
none of these things had anything to
do with the charge of cruelty made by
Mrs. Palmerton. The Judge said that
he regarded the testimony as to what
Palmerton said about carrying enough
"stuff" in his pocket to blow up the
city could not be regarded very seri

his wife not to open his mail, because

An extraordinary joint session of the
city park board and city council Is be
ing held In tho council chambers of
the city hall this afternoon at which
the members of the park board are
trying to get out of the dilemma in
which they placed themselves by em
ploying a nark superintendent at a sal
ary of $3,000 a year without first secur
ing tne monev to pay the salary.
The councilmen are angry at what
they call the attempt of the park board
to throw the responsibility of the af-
lair on the council. The councilmen
say they ralred the salary of Superln
tendenl Montelth from $110 a month to
SI 26 without any knowledge that tho
park boarii wanted to engage a new
man at $3,000 a year.
un ine otner nana, tne park Doaru
members sey they risked in their annua
report for an allowance of salary for
park superintendent not to exceed to.
uuu. wnen me matter or appropriation
came before the ways and means com
mittee or me city council, tne com
mltteemen knew nothing about the pro
posed chenae in the park management,
and believing that the board wished to
raise Mr. Montelth's salary to $3,000
cut it to $1,600 on the ground that they
did not think his services were worth
more than Is being paid to the city
engineer and other city officials.
When the council acted upon the ways
and means report the members ap
proved tne recommendation or the
committer Mayor Lane Interrupted the
proceedings to asK Mr. Kushllght
whether the board had not asked for a
salary allowance not to exceed $3,000,
Mr. Kushllght replied In the affirma
tive. Nothing more was said upon the
subject eitner uy tne councilmen or
Mayor Lane.
- The councilmen insist that If the
board had any changes to make involv
ing so large an increase in salary they
should have been notified so they could
have acted Intelligently upon the mat
ter. They say behind the proposition
there is something that has not de
veloped.
This is In reference to the dlsDosal
of Mr. Montelth. It is said that the
program arranged by the park board is
to maice Monteitn engineer or the park
system. inis tne councilmen contend
is Impossible under the charter. They
say that if such action is taken that
the error will be noticed after the affair
has blown over and Montelth let out.
7 hat the council will refuse to grant
the park board the money to nay the
new superintendent is certain. Many of
the member have declared themselves
unalterably opposed to the plan of the
park board and have announced they
would not vote to pay -bo much money
for a park superintendent.
Another objection to the Plan is that
Henry Mlsche, the man engaged by the
board. Is an easterner, and the coun
cilmen .believe that a competent man
can be secured In Portland whb would

Baker Cltk, Or., Jan. .29. Failure to
secure funds for further operations and
refusal of the employes to work longer
without pay. has caused the shutdown
of the united Elkhorn mine. Liens
approximating $4,000 have been filed
against the property.
The United Blkhorn mine was for
merly Known ua the Baisley-Elkhorn.
It was purchased from Halsley by Fred
rick Hayes, a Philadelphia capitalist,
several years ago and opened on an ex
tensive basis, with Edwin I. Field as
manager.
Several times in the past the mine
was closed down temporarily but the
payroll had always been met until tho
last two months. December 13, the
men were paid for their November work
but have not received any salary since.
.It is understood that Manager Field
has a- heavy claim against the prop
erty and has moved part of the ma
chinery to satisfy It.. As a result tbe
mine is rapidly filling with water and
unless operations are resumed in tbe
very near future it may be years bo
fore the property can be put In shape
for work.

After a long and heated discussion
lasting over two hours, the Republican
city and county central committee, at a
meeting In Allsky hall last night, took
a long step toward returning to the old
convention system by calling what It
termed a mass convention to be com
posed of three delegates from each of
the precincts In Multnomah county, and
Immediately afterward administered a
sugarcoated pill to the members of the
committee wno opposed the convention
plan by adopting a resolution declaring
that tne committee doea not favor the
Indorsement of candidates by the forth
coming convention. This action ap
peared to satisfy the opposition, as the
committee's action was made unanimous
on motion of W. W. Banks, who led the
fight against the adoption of the con
vention resolution.
Practically every one of the 4t mem
bers present expressed his opinion of
the convention plan, those opposing It
declaring that it was a thinly disguised
attempt to return to the old discarded
system where a few bosses fixed up a
slate that, was ratified by the conven
tion and heralded forth as the party
nominees. The charge was freely made
tnat the proposed action was a viola
tion of the spirit if not the letter of
the direct primary law. On the final
vote, the faction In favor of the con
vention won out by a majority of two,
the vote standing 24 in favor of and 22
against the resolution.
Tbe committee that framed the reso

composed of A. B. Manley, R. E. Moody,

were Just as pleased, since the conven
tion was not to be allowed to nomlnato
anybody.
Following the settling of the conven
tion question, Chairman Idleman laid
before the body the resolution Intro
duced by W. M. Davis at a former meet
ing, condemning the action of the com
mitteemen rrom tbe Kighth ward in
throwing cold water on the candidacy
of Gus Moser to succeed his erstwhile
chief. John Manning, as district at
torney. A resolution was presented and
adopted which administered a gentle re
buke to the Eighth ward committeemen.
The effect of the resolution was to say
to the offending committeemen from the
Eighth ward. "It is all right this time.
but don't do It again. '
K. C. Wright spoke for the Eighth
ward committeemen, vigorously defend
ing their action. He declared that the
committeemen had a perfect right, as
the representatives of the Eighth ward,
to declare against the candidacy of Mr.
Moser, or anybody else not acceptable
to their constituents. The controversy
was ended V adopting; the following
resolution:
"We, your committee appointed upon
