HUSBAND SEEKS DIVOKCK
24 DAYS AFTER MARRIAGE
Married life of Krlch W. Radke and
Pearl E. Radke was' brief but troublous,
according to the testimony of the hus
band, who sought a divorce Wednesday,
lie said the marriage occurred Decem
ber 6 at Vancouver and that the end of
marital bliss came 24 days later. Judge
Kavanaugh intimated that 24 days was
too slunrt a time to give the match an
P.-,,. .,t ne took the case under
advisement.
Nellie McCune's suit for divorce was
denied by Judge McCourt, who found
.-that tier allegations that the husband
was socially, financially and mentally a
handicap on her development did not
Justify the cutting of the marital cord
which had bound her and Frank H. Mc
, Cune for 25 years. Two children were
the result of the union. -
A feature act of the regular Wednes
day default divorce case performance
before Judge Kavanaugh was a modern
version of Knoch Arden.
A few years ago Nellie Gatos was the
wife of Will Jeffrey. News came to ipr
one day that her husband was dead and
burled at Sacramento. She later mar
ried Christ Gatos at Vancouver, Wash.
A few months ago the first husband ap
peared and learned that his wife had re
married. He then disappeared.
The wife told her second husband the
story and It was decided that annulment
of their marriage was the solution.
Judge Kavanaugh granted the plea for
annulment.
Other divorces granted were :
Bertha B. Fordney from Robert C.
Fordney; Mae Remington from Joseph
Remington f Evan H. Hatcher from Anna
L. Hatcher ; Cora Wallace from Glen P.
Wallace ; Ralph W. Kipler from Caroline
Kipler ; Gladys Blntlipp from Eiwood
Bintlipp; Hasel Winsor from Ralph
Wlnsor; Mary-J. Wilcox from ohn E.
Wilcox ; Lena Mutschler . from Henry
Mutschler. ,
Divorce suit filed: Nora B. Hayse
against Lewis J. Hayse, cruel and in
human treatment.

I. 1919, to January 1, 1921, George Estes

Prospects Gloomy
For Forest Patrol
Says E. T. Allen
Prospects are gloomy for forest air
plane patrols this summer, according to
E. T. Allen, secretary of the Western
Forestry and Conservation association
and forester for; the National Lumber
Manufacturers' association. Allen is just
back from Washington, D. C, where he
had been appearing before congressional
committees in the interests of the Snell
bill and the Weeks law fund.
With th"e tendency to reduce the army,
the assertion of the air service that if
funds are not allowed it cannot spare
men for patrollng the forests, the big
gest hope lies in the polipy of tha-new
secretary of war, says Allen. tohouia
the new secretary insist that men train
ing in the air service patrol the forests
as a part of their training, Oregon may
yet continue to have the patrol in spite
of reduced army personnel and appropri
ations. Allen reports the appropriation was
raised from $125,000 in the house to
$625,000 in the senate committee. This
is the only federal aid available for
fighting forest fires outside? the national
forests.
Allen expects to return to Washington
about April 1.

ITER LINES HIT
RAILROADS BENEFIT
Washington. . Feb. 17. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) -Action taken by the Inter
state commerce .commission in stop
ping, at least temporarily, the appli
cation of reduced rates on Utah cop
per o California ports, is regarded
here with considerable anxiety by
representatives of Pacific coast ship
ping interests. V
Whether reduced rates now suspended
shall be permanently denied is a ques
tion presented at a hearing at Salt
Lake City today. It is doubtful whether
West coast interests which may be af
fected by the outcome are aware of this
proceeding.
SHIPPING INTERESTED ,
It was learned,that the shipping board,
which may be presumed to-be Interested
because of effect on shipping board
traffic and coastwise shipment gener
ally, has Just become aware of the situ
ation. - 1
In suspending the proposed reductions
on smelter products the interstate com
merce commission gave as a reason that
he interest of the public appeared to
be injuriously affected. - This is under
stood to be on the ground that railroad
revenues now received by an all-rail
haul from Western smelters to the At
lantic seaboard would be decreased if
rates are lowered sufficiently to make
profitable the use of water routes from
the Pacific coast.
XO COMPLAINTS MADE
It is noted that reduced rates pro
posed by the Western Pacific were not
complained against by anyone but were
suspended on the interstate commerce
commission's own motion on the theory
apparently that they were too low for
public interest.
The greater part of smelter products
is now handled eastward out of Uah
by the Union Pacific line.
Significance for the Pacific Northwest
is that the suspended rates would prac
tically line up rates from Utah to San
Francisco with existing rates from Mon
tana and Idaho to Seattle, and Portland,
so if the commission refuses an outlet for
Utah copper it would also seenv logical
to close the northern outlet for Montana
and force traffic to the all-rail haul.
Similar reasoning might be applied to
oiner trairic ir this principle is intro
duced to preserve railroad revenues.
ROUTES AFFECTED
This fact causes the case to be viewed
as highly Important, and seems in con
flict wth the principle that all reason
able routes be kept open to shippers, -and
ships be allowed to compete with rail
roads in transcontinental business.
The existing rate from Anaconda to
Seattle pives the Northern Pacific $6,075
a ton net, while the proposed rate would
give the Western Pacific 16.50 out of
Utah compared with the existing rate of
$30, under which no traffic moves.
When the issue is understood it Is be
lieved west coast cities may intervene
to protect shipping by water routes.'
Frank Borelli Is
Again Denied Soft
Drink Place Permit
Frank Borelli, whose soft drink license,
issued, for 255 Second street, was can
celled by the city council December 21,
and who later filed circuit court proceed
ings enjoining the council from carry
ing out its order, appeared before the
council Wednesday to request a new
license. He did not get it. Borelli says
he will next apply for a food license
without the soft drink privilege, which
Commissioner Bigelow says he will not
get with his consent.
Hearings have been set for February
23 for three soft drink dealers whose li
censes are questioned by the police de
partment. They are : Louis Zarkovitch.
69 North Third street; Vid Culjak and
Jen Kreeger, 803 Union avenue.
Wilburn and Anderson, . who were
charged by several women with running
a gambling joint at 724 Alberta street,
and with attempts at inducing boys and
girls to enter the place, were before the
council Wednesday. Their license "was
not revoked, as there was no evidence or
testimony to prove the Justification of
the women's charges, according to As
sistant City Attorney Mackay.

MacDonald Relates
How, He Says, Police
'Framed' T. Mooney
(By United VnY ,
San Francisco, Feb. 17. John Mac
Donald, who has branded as perjury the
testimony given by himself at the trial
of Tom Mooney, in connection with the
Preparedness day bomb outrages, Wed
nesday told in an interview bow he hwa
been entertained by the police as their
"star witness" up to and during the trial
of Mooney and his co-defendants.
The police launch was placed at his
disposal, he said, in which be made trips
about the bay, and that when he tired of
restrictions of hotel life under surveil-?
lance, the police secured him a position
as guard at a local shipyard plant and
daily took him to his work i nthe pollc
launch. -
MacDonald, en his arrival in San
Francisco, went directly to the office of
the district attorney and there made a
statement 'to the district attorney In
which he reiterated his New York state
ment that his testimony was false. .
Plans have been , made tp give Mac
Donald a hearing before the grand Jury
along with Captain of Detectives
Mathewson, Draper Hand, former rpblice
officer, mentioned In MacDonald's state
ment, and others mentioned in the al
leged frame-up. The date of this hear
ing has not yet been set "
Captain of Detectives Mathewson has
threatened MacDonold with arrest'ehoald
he fail to substantiate his charges of
perjury, but MacDonald today replied to
this threat with the statemetn that those
making the threats were more liable to
prosectv'on than he.
Hydro-Electric Bill
Fuse Burns Qut Its
Young Life in House
State House, Salem, Feb. 17. Hydro
electric development in Oregon as a state
project was put on the shelf by the sen
ate this morning through Indefinite post
ponement. The proposed project was all
but dead when it was dragged into the
senatorial arena on an adverse report by
the judiciary committee. Only the loy
alty of Senator Norblad, one of the pro
ponents of the hydro-electric resolution
and a member of the committee, enabled
the measure to appear in public at all,
even for the brief space of time required
for the solons to administer the last sad
rites.
The resolution sponsored by Senators
Joseph and Norblad and Representatives
Bean and Woodson provided for the ex
tension of the credit of the state up to 4
per cent of the assessed valuation for the
development of hydro-electric power.
Defending the measure, Joseph de
clared that, in spite of the opposition evi
denced toward the project, the time was
not far- distant when this "Utopian
dream" would become a reality.
While the rest of the world was mov
ing ahead in the development or cheap
power, he charged, "old moss-back Ore
gon" was simply sitting still and looking
on, even refusing to provide the ways
and means necessary to determining the
water power possibilities of the state.
The Judiciary committee, which had
the resolution under consideration, had
shown no mercy In the application of
the deadly knife, he charged.
"But this question Is not dead," Joseph
concluded. "I promise you that this
question shall find a place on the ballot
through initiation, and the people shall
have a chance to vote on it."
Senator Hare devoted his oratorical
abilities to ridiculing the proposed proj
ect, which he characterised as a "heaven
ly hymn, renfired by the hydro-electric
quartet, composed of Joseph, Norblad,
Bean and Woodson," with Joseph the
only member who was sufficiently versed
in music to carry the air.
Only Senators Joseph, Norblad, Hume
and Thomas raised their voices in pro
test when the senate rode rough shod
over the resolution.
Special Funds for
Liquor Prosecutions
Asked; Bill Passes
State House, Salem, Feb. 17. Under
provisions of house bill 334, introduced
by the Marion county delegation and
passed by the house today with but 10
opposing votes, district attorneys are
given special funds for the prosecution
of violations of the prohibition laws.
The special objection raised to the bill
was that it permits the district attor
ney to expend such money without any
check except his own voucher.
The .bill provides that all fines, for
feiture of bonds or other moneys col--lected
in prosecutions of the persons
under the prohibitory laws shall be set
aside as a special fund to be used by
the 'district attorney or prosecutor ap
pointed by the governor for further
prosecutions of the law, up to the
amount of $2000. Collections in excess
of that amount shall go into the gen
eral fund of the county.

comraisison advisory jurisdiction over

exempt homes maintained by fraternal
organizations from its application. The
vote i by which the bill was passed
