THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON
FINAL TESTIMONY
IBEING TAKEN IN
" RAE WILL CASE
Final testimony was in. progress
Thursday before Circuit Judge Taz
well in the contest of the will of the
late George Rae. who was a. mem
ber of. the Inman-Poulsen Lumber
company, and who left an Estate
valued at More than $100,000. i 1
T,he BUit was Instituted by Maude
" Jlae EmerBon.' an adopted daughter.
Sensational features marked the tes
timony - during Thursday forenoon. .
' t Arthur Spencer, chief counsel for the
contestant, had named in his complaint
Maude; Emerson Rae and Elizabeth E-
Rae, the widow. f as. .the , heirs. He
asked the court for permission to with
draw the name of Elizabeth B. Rae,
declaring his belief that there had
never been a valid decree of divorce
between W. j W. Miller and Eliaabeth
Miller, now Mrs. Rae, and that there
fore there was never a legal marriage
of Rae and Mrs. Miller on November
6. 1914. The court did jiot allow this
motion. v i ,i .
The testimony . of ' Maude Rae .Emer
son was to the effect that she did not
know for years that she was an adopt
ed daughter, and that this Information
came to her from strangers ; that dur
ing the lifetime, of Mrs. Lottie Bae,
the former wife of George Rae, he be
came infatuated with Mrs. Miller and
neglected his own wife ; h that this
caused : her to become so mentally de
ranged that she was confined to a
sanatorium and later sent to the state
hospital at Salem, where she died.
Mrs. Emerson said that Rae made
himself conspicuous " during the life
time of the first Mrs. Rae by his at
tentions to Mrs. Miller; nd that the
diamonds and Jewelry of Mrs. Rae were
worn by Mrs. Miller before Mrs. Rae
passed, away.
"I was In a convent at Salem," said
Mrs. Emerson, "and he asked me to go
with Mrs. Miller to the hospital to see
how Mrs. Rae was getting along. When
Mrs. Miller entered her room Mrs. Rae
saw the diamond earrings In her ears
and Jumped at her, crying out. Those
are my earrings. They made us go
away, as they said we upset the pa
tient too much."
The general contention of the con
testants is that undue influence was
brought to bear on Rae by his last
wife, resulting in his willing her the
bulk of his property and lea-4ng a
small bequest for Mrs. Emerson, the
daughter." ,

Damage Claims of
$250 or Over Must
. Be Referred, Ruling
Washington, July 29. James CvDavis,
general counsel for the railroad admin
istration, has written Senator McNary
to the effect that it can make no change
in its recent order that all claims for
damage in exoess'of $250 must be re
ferred by Interested carriers to regional
. counsel of the railroad administration for
approval. " '
J. Curtis RObinson, traffic manager for
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, had
protested to Senator McNary that the
reduction of this limitation from. $500
would jcause unnecessary delays and
throw new burdens upon the shippers.
He had asked that fflOOO be the minimum.
Mr. Davis says a -conclusion was
reached at a conference of counsel and
claim,. agents representing the railroad
administration that the reduced limit
is necessary to adequately protect tne in
terests of the government.
