Hartford, Conn., May 3 Miss Thee-
date Pope of New York and Farming-
ton, heiress of the late AlfreH A. Pope,
was married to John Wallace Riddle,
former ambassador to Russia, on Sat
urday, May H, within one day of the
anniversary of the Lusitania disaster,
in which she nearly lost her life. The
ceremony was performed at HIHstead,
the Pope family home In Farmington.
.Miss Pope, who is an architect of
ability, was on Iftr way to Kurope on
the iLusitania to study conditions in
Belgium at first hand, and also to
engage in psychological research when
the liner was torpedoed. Her maid
was drowned, and William K. Friend,
a student of psychology, with whom
she intended to pursue her Investiga
tions, lost his life. Miss Pope was
rescued after harrowing experiences.
District Judge Bell upheld the con
tentions of the industrial welfare com
mission today in a case considered of
much Importance to women workers In
4 Oregon manufacturing plants.
In doing this, the court held J. G.
Terry manager of the Hirsch-Ye1s
company, to the grand jury on a charge
of employing an experienced woman
worker at a wage below the minimum
of $8.65 a week fixed by the industrial
welfare commission.
Thd point at issue was when a
woman ceases to be sn apprentice
and becomes an experienced worker,
entitled to the minimum wage. The
facts in the case were admitted, Mr.
Terry's defense being that the woman
was still an apprentice, and therefore
not entitled to full wages.
She had been employed in another
factory, somewhat similar to the
Hirsch-Weis factory, for more than a
year, but when she obtained employ
ment at the Hirsch-Weis plant she
was taken as an apprentice. Mr. Ter
ry pointed out that the power machine
in his plant was different from the
one she had operated In the other
plant.
Judge Bell held that an experienced
operator on one machine could readily
learn to operate the other and could
not be considered an apprentice.
Deputy District Attorney Mowry,
who represented the commission, con
tended that if the court held otherwise
it would open the way for employers
t to shift their women employes from
one kind of machine to another each
year and thus evade paying the min
imum wage by retaining their em
ployes In the apprenticeship class.
Attorney Bert K. Ilaney represented
Mr. Terry-

Co., Tacoma grain dealers, out of $2300

sums out of other dealers alonb- the

1914. His largest stake, he declared,
was $5600. which he "talked" out of
the Columbia Milling company last year
in Portland. He admitted that while,
he usually got his money on forged
bills of lading, where there actually
was a car or two on the tracks, In the
Portland deal he did not have to show
a single carload of grain. Young is

$500 Damages Allowed for Being
Locked in Room.
For the second time Mrs. Beatrice
Williams has won a verdict of $600
against the Ali'er Hotel company hr
damages for being irtilawfully locked
in a room at the Alder hotel by Mrs.
8. K. McDougal, landlady, because she
was unable to pay her room rent.
The verdict was returned today by a
Jury in Judge Morrow's court.
On December 22, 1915, when Mrs.
Williams could not pay $21.50 room
rent then due, Mrs. McDougal, the
evidence showed, took the woman's
furs and other articles of clothing and
locked her in her room for several
hours. Mrs. Williams sued for $5000.
She is represented by Attorney W. T.
Hume.
Following the first trial Attorney
A. H. McCurtain, representing the
hotel company, had the verdict set
aside on the grounds that Judge Mor
row failed to instruct the Jury that
in order to hold the hotel company
liable they must find that Mrs. Jlc
Daugal was a managing agent of the
company.
An appeal from the verdict returned
today probably will be taken to the
supreme court.

Moratorium Declared Xo Restraint
on Local Stock Brokers.
Holding that the moratorium de
clared by the New York stock exchange
shortly after the European war broke
cut in no way restrained Overbeck
& Cooke company, Portland atock
brokers, from selling atock they had
purchased from John Loop on a 10
per cent margin. Judge McGinn today
diiected the jury to return a verdi-t
for t lie defendants in the suit brought
by Loop against the stockbrokers.
Loop had bought on a 10 per cent
margin 100 shares of American Can
Co. at $9387.50 and 100 shares of The
Aaska Gold Mines company at $2800.
On the two deals the stock brokers
were obligated to the extent of $9282,
and when the war broke out and the
price of stocks began tumbling the
brokers became frightened and to pro
tect themselves sold Loop's stock at
a loss, aggregating $4592, which was
the amount Loop sued for.
Judge McGinn held the brokers had
a right to sell the stock to protect
themselves. The sale was made while
the New York stock exchange was
closed, but as the brokers were not
I members of the stoclt exchange the
coun neia mat naa no bearing on
the case.
