months of 1914 thun it did during
the corresponding period of 1913, ac
cording to figure given out yesterday

Denver. July 18. Amalgamation of

organizations in the world, is one of
the important questions to come up
at the convention of the Western Fed

the number of strikes in which both
wnions have been involved may hasten
the amalgamation.

; Mrs. Henrickson was given Judgment
Tor 1408. 7 j for her payments and ex

The three plaintiffs and the nine
represented by Cooper purchased tracts

, fraud and misrepresentation. As the
facts in each were practically the
same, the suits were combined.
Marital Troubles

Two Cross Complaints Bristle With
Charges In Divorce Suits; Trick,
Blamed on Burglars, by Wife.
Two cross complaints were filed
yesterday in divorce suits in which
rather interesting charges were made.
William J. Irvine charged Annie M.

in his pocket one night with $1 bills
and laying the blame on a burglar, but
said that he caught her in a similar
trick with a $20 bill later.
Mrs. Irvine sued for divorce several
days ago, bringing into her complaint
an agreement he made to deed his
property in trust to his children in
case he ever took a drink.
W. W. Clopton charges his wife
with twitting him about religion atid
asserting that the Bible was written
by "Ananias." He first sued her to
recover heirlooms and she answered
with divorce proceedings; charging
cruelty and marriage before she was
of age without consent of her pa
rents. They were married in Van
couver. Wash., March 23, last, and he
says they lived together but a week.

Gueydan, former wife or Caillaux. It
was reported that she may have given
Calmette personal letters belonging to
Caillaux, but this was stoutly denied.
Crowds Seek Admission.
Judge Louis Albanel, president of
the court which is to try Mme. Cail
laux, has received thousands of appli
cations for seats in the court room, but
he has arbitrarily refused all with the
exception of those made for members
of the press, the bar and others di
rectly concerned with the trial. But
as the law provides for public admis
sion to the trial of any case not heard
in camera, it Is likely that at least 100
persons will be admitted to meet this
requirement of the law. With a knowl
edge of this phase of the situation
hundreds of persons will probably flock
to the court room in the hope that they
may be among the chosen few. The
public prosecutor, however, has laid
down a strict rule that under no cir
cumstances shall women be allowed to
attend the sittings.
Woman Sought Vengeance.
M. Calmette was shot by Mme, Cail
laux on March 16. The woman went
to the office of the Figaro to carry out
an act of .vengeance against M. Cal
mette, who had been waging a cam
paign characterized by great bitter-
ess against her husband, who then
held the post of minister of finance.
She fired at least three times, M. Cal
mette being wounded in the chest, in
the side and the abdomen. He died a
few hours later.
Having committed the deed. Mme.
Caillaux submitted to arrest, and
while employes of the Figaro office
were taking the pistol from her hands
she said: "Since there is no justice
in this country, I take upon myself
an act of justice. Take me where you
will."
In her statement to the police. Mme
Caillaux explained that the campaign
against her husband had become intol
erable and she determined to Btop it.
She consulted an eminent lawyer, who
advised her that legal preceedings
would be futile that they were often
worse in the case of the innocent than
in the case of the guilty. She decided
then to take the law into her own
hands. She bought 'a revolver, drove
to the Figaro office and sent in her
card. M. Calmette was most polite
and asked what he could do for her.
"It Is needless for me to pretend
that I am making a friendly call," I
answered. "Then, losing all control
of myself at the thought of the humili
ations Inflicted upon my husband by
this man, I drew my revolver from
my muff and fired all the cartridges.
M. Caimette was most surprised at the
first report and tried to take shelter
behind a desk."
The personal campaign of M. Cal
mette against M. Caillaux began on
January 12. and until the assassination
the attacks against the finance mln
ister were a dally feature of the Fig
aro. The fact that the campaign was
inaugurated ' on the eve of the open
ing of the chamber of deputies creat
ea intense interest in the ccarge.
Among other accusations it waa
charged that the finance minister had
exerted pressure On the judges to post
pone the trial or Henri Rochetts, who
was arrested in Paris in 1908 on the
charge of swindling on an enormous
scale, thus enabling him to flee to
Mexico. M, Caillaux also was charged
with authorizing the quotation on the
bourse of questionable foreign loans,
wnereoy vast, sums were lost bj
jrrencn investors.
It Is reported that the line of de
fense at.. the coming trial will be that
M. Calmette's life could have been
saved by a surgical operation, had It
been performed at once, and also, that
Calmette s death accordingly will be
attributed to the mistakes of the doc
tors who were called, in. Another re
port is to the effect that the public
prosecutor will ask the Jury to find
Mme. Caillaux not guilty of premedi
tated murder, but of having inflicted
wounds which entailed death although
unintended to do so. The penalty for
this would be imprisonment to which
the benefits of the first offenders' act
might be applied.
MRS. EL01SE DENNIS
LEFT NEW ORLEANS

Fact That the Telegram Was
Sent Earlier Shrouds Its
Sender in Doubt.
New Orleans, La., July 18. The
mystery surrounding the disappearance
from Atlanta. Ga., early in June of
Mrs. Eloise Dennis and her sister, Miss
Beatrice Nelms, deepened here today
when it became known that Mrs. Den
nis bought Southern Pacific transpor
tation here June "22 for San Francisco
instead of June 26 as first reported.
Interest is increased because of the
fact that the night lettergram written
and signed L. and B. on a typewriter,
addressed to Mrs. J. W. Nelms, their
mother at Smyrna. Ga., near Atlanta
was filed at the union station at 10:55
o'clock on the morning of June 26.
Ticket Stub Affords Clue.
With Mrs. Dennis passing through
El Paso, Texas, on June 25, according
to the signed stub taken up by the
conductor on train No. 101 and turned
in to the Los Angeles office of the
railroad it is quite apparent that she
had nothing to do with filing of the
night lettergram at the union sta
tion. The ticket stub shows merely
the signature E. Dennis."
Whether Beatrice Nelms was with
her sister on this trip to San Fran
cisco cannot be foretold. . The only
clew indicating that might be true
is the fact that Mrs. Dennis' ticket
was No. 4825, the next tickeCin ser
ial number, number 4826, was also is
sued June 22 in an exchange for an
Atlanta and West Point ticket good
for transportation to San Francisco. It
s probable that this Atlanta and Wes..
Point ticket was held by Beatrice
Nelms and both made arrangements
at" the same time at the Southern Pa
cific ticket office In this city.
If this is true, then who filed the
night lettergram to Mrs. Nelms on
the morning of June 26? This mes
sage reads as follows:
we are DacK in New Orleans on
business; going further -west; enjoy
ing our vacation. Love baby and alL
(Signed) E. and B."
Use of Typewriter Puzzles.
The tact that this telegram was
written and signed on a typewriter
also adds interest to the mystery as
it is regarded as unusual for women
traveling to have their telegrams
written in this manner and they us
ually write them out in long hand
with pen or pencil' found on desks
in telegraph offices.
Close scrutiny of sleeping car dla
grams for the week Including June 22
and 26 developed nothing of interest
to the case. Railroad men explain
this by saying that where reserva
tions are paid for in cash only the
number or the berth ticket is entered
on the diagram.
A further effort will be made to
ascertain if ticket number 4826 or its
stub was slgnedat El Paso.

How the women citizenry of the state
of Kansab keep in close tab with the
government, municipal and state, they
live under, was drscrlbed in Interesting
fashion to a small crowd at the lunch
eon of the Oregon Civic league at the
Multnomah hotel yesterday by Mrs.
Lillian M. Mitchener of Topeka. Kan.,
state president of the W. C. T. U. and
chairman of the Topeka women's mu
nicipal advisory tvoard.
Kansas, she said. Is a twin sister of
Oregon In the matter of its women hav
ing state suffrage, although she de
clared Kansas Is the better develoned
because the women there have had mu
nicipal suffrage for 32 years. To this
municipal suffrage she attributed the
fact that Kansas liquor laws are so
well enforced.
She told the story of her fight In
the legislature for the passage of the
suffrage amendment, and how her.
forces were successful. The same year.
Mrs. Mitchener asserted, an obstinate
senator refused to allow a so called
"white slavery" law to leave the com
mittee. Next year the Influence of tht
women forced the passage of a strin
gent art forbidding the trafficking in
women.
Elderly Women's Influence Good.
"We women don't expect to do any
better than the good men," Mrs. Mitch
ener asserted. "But we good women -
and the good men together expect to
do better than the good men alone
could do.
"1 believe three or four good moth
erly women should be In every housn
of representatives and a couple In tl
senate." slit; continued. "Their moral
influence tor the passaag. of good leg
islation would be immeasurable. They
should be 40 years old or older. I
wouldn't want to see young girls In
the legislature.
"Our prohibition laws are Just as
well enforced as any In our statute
books."
A little further on. In commenting
on the coming prohibition fight in Ore
gon, she said:
"If the prohibition law does not
carry in Oregon, It will not be because
of the want of effort of the bad people.
We expect the bad people to vote wet
solidly. There are more good citi
zens in Oregon than bad ones. But the
danger lies in the fact that these good
folks will not hang together, will not
all vote, as the bad ones will do."
Polios Women Oo Everywhere.
She described how the women elected
the law and order mayor of Topeka;
how the women demanded representa
tion of that executive and how om
what dazedly, that official granted it.
The women made him appoint an ad
visory board to be consulted on moral
questions and also had him name two
police women and matrons at the city
and county Jails.
The city could not be rid of dance
halls, she said, and so It was deter
mined to make them decent. Now the
police women go everywhere In the
dance halls, into every private room,
and not a drop of liquor Is sold, she
asserted. She said that 5H.400 child
ren of school age In Kansas had nevc-r
seen a saloon, and so the police women
were named censors to see that they
do not learn of them, us well as card
playing, gambling and shooting craps
through the "movies." The police
women are responsible, she said, for
the prevention of the sale of tobacco
to boys under age.
Mrs A. O. Newlll was chairman of
the day. Mrs. Mitchener will remain
in the state for some time in order to
work in the dry campaign.

Who Can Give Place
To Needy Woman?
Who has a place for a younjr woman
domestic?
Mrs. F. L. Purse, chairman of the
Episcopal Social service committee.
makes this appeal. The woman in
question Is one of tgiose who has met
with misfortune and whom the charit
ably disposed persons have reached out
a helping hand. The social service
committee pays particular attention to
the girls who, because of some mis
step find themselves under the hand
of the law. The woman in this case
was paroled by the court and she is
now in the care of Mrs. Purse, who
will try to give her a new start In
life. .
"Any one who will help this deserv
ing woman will please call at my ad
dress, 1475 Sacramento street, or tele
phone Tabor 2582," said Mrs. Purse
yesterday.

Important Announcement
We take pleasure in announcing to our friends in Portland and vicinity,
that after patiently waiting for the development and production of what
is in our opinion, the correct type of small, light and economical car, we
have finally found our IDEAL IN THE 1915 JEFFERY.
I
This we have added to our line for the future as a fitting consort to the
Packard, which we have sold in Portland the past five years, and the Detroit
Electric, both of which we will continue to represent as before.
In this new light car, produced by one of the oldest, strongest and most
reliable manufacturers in America, nothing has been spared to provide the
best in mechanism, comfort, luxury and appearance. It has not been built to
meet a price condition, but only the best design material and equipment
has been considered. It is the quality car in its class. t
The 1915 JEFFERY will be fully
described in the Saturday Evening
Post of next Saturday,' July 25
If you are contemplating the purchase of a new car, it is to your ad
vantage to wait and see the new JEFFERY, which we will have in Portland
about September I. :.
