It was this aislre. she say, to return to her own that caused Mrs. Glavls to turn down her husband's offers of lobs without inquiring how Glavls could back up his . promise, of unlimited federal patronage. Action Began last -Winter. Glavls began divorce action last winter, but has not seen fit to file his complaint and his attorneys have re fused to date to Intimate his allegation on the ground that it is none of the public's business. In the Interroga tories propounded to Mrs. Glavls, her brother and sister, special Stress Is put upon the theory of desertion, which she strenuously denies. Mrs. Glavls says she married the fo:-mer land office agent in Baltimore, In March. 1905, and immediately came we-rt with him.

I replied that I would not listen to his proposition for a divorce and said that I wanted to come and live with him as his wife. - 'I always have been willing and ready to do that. He wrote me another letter saying that a divorce eold e obtained on the grounds of desertion after one ye:ir; He said he would guarantee me a atovernment position if I would con sent to a divorce and would pay all at torney's fees.

He did not send me enough money to return and when later he was In Washington he did not call ur-m me. I saw him one day at the ca-jltol and had a business conversation v-Uh him."' Piece of ..Iron Hurled From House Hits Driver on Head, . Cutting His Scalp, : While a special policeman stood be side him. Harry Lanaker, a strikebreak ing teamster, wai nearly killed yester day afternoon by missiles thrown from the fourth floor of an apartment house undergoing construction at the corner of Eighteenth and Flanders streets. Lanaker "was unloading lumber for use in the interior finishings of the buildings when a block of wood came whirling down. Some trees stand be side - the building, and as the- block passed through the leaves Its direction was affected, and Instead ot striking Lanaker it passed close to his head. An instant later a piece of iron fol lowed, the direction of this missile also being disturbed when it passed through the tree. However.- it struck Lanaker a glancing blow on the head. Inflicting a bad scalp wound. The special officer who accompanies Lanaker on his deliveries rushed into the building, but all men employed on the -work denied knowing who thaw at lanaker. Later Sergeant Riley, desk ' officer at police headquarters, rushed to the acene in the police auto, but was also unable to secure any information. Lanaker was taken to the station, where his Injuries were dressed. - Adolph C. Braun, a picket at the barns of the Portland Delivery company, Third ana Jfine streets, is saia to nave tres passed on the company's premises yes terday and refused to leave when the watchman ordered him out. The watch , man picked up a brick and hurled it at Braua, striking him in the head. Ji. policeman who was pear took Braun to the police headquarters, where the cut was dressed. ,. Braun refused to swear to a warrant against the watchman. SPECTORS CAMP ON . TRAIL OF THE ICE MAN AND WEIGH - LUMPS . City inspectors of weights and meas urements have been busy the past week following up ice men delivering to cujj-J tomers in me city ana arrests by the wholesale are expected to be made in a few days. Numerous complaints have been made with the department having this work in charge, and acting upon them the Inspectors were put on the trail of the several Ice wagons. ' "',''.

Not in recent years, and seldom In the years 'gone by, have. the people of Mult nomah county - seen so . wellrolled ad smooth-running a convention. ' In the good old days there were contests In the convention, cases where men tried to break In-over, the fences that, were bullded up about the chosen few. This was seen In a few, instances yesterday afternoon, but for the most part things went through with a whoop, the only trouble being the inability of Chairman Stapleton to keep order long enough for the result ot the balloting to be heard. 014 Warhorses There. . . And not of recent years have the peo ple of Multnomah county seen on exhibi tion officially and in one day so many of the old line warhorses champing at the bits and breathing eloquence and a desire to serve the great mass ot the horny handed sons , of the soil as was gathered together in "the Masonio Tern- Die yesterday afternoon, Wallace McCamant Bv F. Eddy, A. B. ManleyV ChatStesk B." Moores, T. T Geer, Major Kenrioay. -W. W., Banks, A. L, Mills,. S. a Beach and a long list of the other old warriors were in evidence, Then there were" the smaller lights, such as Charlie Lockwood. Jimmy Kertchem, Max G. Cohen, W. M Barry. Sam Mason and those renegades of the Statement No. 1 camp, L.-D. Mahone and Fred Brady. All were there eager for Ihe fray. The convention Opened In the after noon with the report of the credentials committee,-whleh threw the rival dele' gationa from precinct 79 out ol the con vention. alleging that the first delega- tlon did not favor the convention plan, and therefore would be a thorn In the side of the gathering, and contending that the second delegation had not been legally elected. tt.-i'V- Jars Convention. This deprived the convention of the presence and assistance of Lou D. cole, one of the old time nenenmen or me Simon machine wh was chairman of the two meetings in precinct 79 and who refused to sign the certificates of the first meeting ratifying the election of the delegates. ;" i After the credential committee had reported. A. L. Mills, president of the First National ' bank, moved that the temporary officer be made permanent and this was done, so continuing George W. Stapleton as chairman, David N. Mo sessohn as secretary and Arthur Lang- eruth as assistant secretary. Tom Hislop Jarred the convention's feelings a little bit by suggesting -that the report of the committee on order of business, presented by A. L. Mills, be amended so that all the delegates to the state convention be - selcted . from the body of the convention, each ward being given its proportional representation. "Assembly Good Thing." : W. "W. Banks came to the ' support of Mr. Mills, however, and said that there were any number of good men out side the convention who wanted to go to the state convention, and that they wouldn't be allowed o go. John T. Whalley, who has not been very nromlnent politically since the old time conventions went out of fash' ion, assisted Mr. Banks. " He said that according to the plan of the committee on program the convention was to be allowed to name ; approximately two thirds of the state delegates, but that the special committee of 13, one from each ward and threa rrom tne county, was to 'pick out a select list of dele gates from outside the convention. Mr. HIslop's amendment was snowed under. Judge M. C George read the report of the committee on resolutions, whioh resolved that the assembly was a good thing, pledged the support of all the delegates to the nominees of the con vention and Indorsed the admlnlstra- tlon of, president Taft .;: , Insult to 'Candidates. Dr. William Deveney introduced resolution binding all unsuccessful can dldates before the convention to sup port the nominees ' of the convention, but Chairman Stapleton said that' such a resolution was an insult to the can dldates, and the resolution was put on the table.' Then the convention began to enjoy the program. William C. Bristol placed Louis J. Clarke In nomination for Joint senator from Multnomah, - Clackamas and Columbia counties, and introduced a resolution binding the delegation to the state convention to his candidacy. The nomination and the resolution was seconded by E. B. Piper and went through with a whoop unanimously. Wallace McCamant nominated Jack R. Latourette for Joint representative from Multnomah and Clackamas coun- A. M . M. . ' A.1 1L S lies ma u was movea uiw. una nomi nation be made - unanimous. This car ried' with another -whoop though there were some delegatea who howled during the process and wanted to know who Latourette was, anyhow. "We don know him," they yelled, but as they did not seem to be on the inside no atten tlon was paid to them. , UoCamant Takes Floor. Wallace McCamant again took' the floor and nominated a man "young in years but old In experience, who did not vo'te for a Democrat for United States senator, Clifton N. McArthur." This nomination wad als6 shot through, unanimously. Then came the representative ticket For this there were 30 nominations, and after the ballots were cast the tell era-retired tq.,.a, side room to count them. This took all afternoon and was completed so late that the convention had to adjourn until tomorrow night to complete the nominations, only six ot the 12 candidates necessary to fill the ticket being given a majority vote. The men named tor nomination and the votes given them were aa follows: H. D. Angel, 256; McKlnley Mitchell, 271 John C. McCue, 8 &2; Dr. J. H. Hickman. 175; Ei L.

Besides thrse there were seven candidates who received scatter ing votes, v Store. zromisatioas. For coimtvjudger Frank Sr Bennett John C. S hillock, Thomas J. Cleeton ana Andrew T.

On the first ballot Bennett received 276 votes, Cleeton 277, Slilllock 27 and Lewis 9; On the second ballot Bennett received 28 votes and Cleeton On nrecirict with five votes lor Cleeton did not wake up In time to cast its vote.N Bennett was maae tne unani mous nominee of the convention. H. v. Godctard was atven the nomi nation for county commissioner, receiv ing 3S5 votes aa against 158 for I S. Dowie and 87 for John Baker. ' John , B. Coffey was nominated : ror county clerk by .Waldemar Seaton and Willis Fisher by B. S. Fague. me count went so strong for Coffey that Fisher withdrew his name and Coffey was made the unanimous choice. - Oeons McMillan wa nominated ror sheriff by Wallace McCamant and A. N. Wills was also put in nomination. Wills withdrew, however, ana tne convention cast its vote for McMillan. V McMillan fwaa ' called upon ror a speech arid" commenced by saying that the nomination had come to him unso licited and that he had never asked a single delegate for hla support - This was- greeted with a gale of laugnter, drowning out the close of the address. .i-' : XTorden for Coroner, - It' U., Welch bad no opposition for county auditor, V The convention also nominated Jonn m. 4ewis ior coumy treasurer; A.

Only one man who was not on the ticket was nominated, that being Judge 1L H.' Northup, who was favored by the convention because of his long residence in th state and his record with the oldtime men who made up the bulk of the convention. Beginning with the head or tne cor poration slate, ; things went through with a whoop until the list of represen tatives was reached. :v s .Clark If omlnated. Louis G. Clarke was nominated by the unanimous vote of the convention for Joint senator from Multnomah, Clackamas and Columbia counties. The ratification of his nomination will be demanded in, the state convention next Thursday. . At the last moment the slate makers switched Dr. J. R. iWetherbee from Joint representative and put Jack K. Latourette in his place. This was done because of th fact that Latourette is a native of Oregon City, and was raised in ' Clackamas county. , . It was consid ered that he would be stronger for the Joint position than as a candidate In Multnomah county alone. . He received the nomination without contest though a few or the uninitiated demanded to know who he was and where he cam a from. C. N. McArthur was -nominated tor state senator without opposition, and was given, the unanimous vote of. the convention. Both Latourette and Mc Arthur were, nominated by Wallace Mc Camant who has offices in the Electrlo building, and Is well knowij to those wno louoweu ine conventions or - me olden days. Clarke was nominated by W.'C. Bristol. . - . finish Work Tomorrow. Passing to the slate proposed for the house of representatives, five out of the 12 men named were nominated and the remainder ranked well toward the re quired majority necessary fop nomina tion. If the corporation "advisory com mittee" keeps its lierve and stays In the game until tomorrow night It 19 safe to presume that the remainder of the Slate will be landed. Those of the slate who were nomi nated were Joseph W. Beveridge, R. S. Farrell, Dr. J. It. Wetherbee, John C McCue and Charles Hi Moores. The vote received by the entire repre sentative slate was as follows: H. D. AngeU, 255; Joseph W. Beveridge, 883; H. E. Collier, 275; Edwin Caswell, 199; R. fl. Farrell, 443; Peter Hume, 298; Dr. H.

The platform" committee, composed of George Horton, 'chairman, W. A. Gar ner, Ben Smith, H. S. Mount and C. M. Lake, saved .

Three resolutions offered by, anti-as sembly members and smothered In com mittee were loaded with fireworks. One of these, which is a fair sample of all three, was presented by J. W. Van Horn of Oswego, and read as follows: ' . .-"Whereas, The direct primary law provides the method by which political parties subject to Its provisions must nominate their party candidates . for public .office,, and said law was made by the people of Oregon to abolish the evils of - boss rule and machine-made candidates, and, i ' ' "Whereas, ,We,i the-delegates to, the Republican convention or so called as, sembly for Clackamas county, believe In abiding by the laws of Oregon until they are legally repealed or amended In the manner provided by the constltu tlon, and we believe the attempt to nominate or make recommendations for nominations for Republican candidates for state or county offices is lllogal. therefore, , ' ,. , Statement Men Protest.

W. Eastham moved for the appointment of a, committee by the chairman to confer with the precinct delegations and make up a list of dele gates to the state assembly, he made a little harmony talk. He said he be lieved there would be -little opposition to this proposal by the anti-assembly men, and said he himself was not In favor of nominating a county ticket Favors Direct Primary. Van Horn replied, saying this was a pretty speech. He wanted harmony; too, but not at the expense of the direct pri mary and Statement No. 1. "I believe in the direct primary," be said, "and do not think we should coun tenance any effort on the part of th machine to get back "Into power. There la no question but that the predatory Interests, the street railway, the electrio light companies and th railroads are favoring the assembly. There is no question but Joe Simon and Harvey Scott want to be back in power, and if we go on with the assembly from one year to another they will be back." Carter said he came to the meeting willing to concede aomethlng, and he would offer no objection to the election of delegates to the state assembly, He said that would do no good and no harm, as the people will pass on the wisdom of. the assembly's action at the prl marles. But he was opposed to a coun ty ticket, and moved an-' amendmerit to Eastham's motion to the effect that no county ticket be named. Then followed the ruling of the chairman, declaring Carter out of order, - , - f O. W. Eastham. M. J. Lee. J. T. Town ley, J. W. Reed and William Soott were named as the committee to select the delegates to the state assembly. , The result of this was a clever coup -on the part of Eastham, who Is a candidate for Joint senator from Clackamas and Mult nomah.
