PORTl-AND, June 11 (By As-.
sociated Press)) Charles E. Bu
chanan occupied the stand all day ,
under gruelling direct and cross
examination in today's session of
the "fake" stOTk case being
heard in circuit court here.
As court adjourned opposing
counsel was engaged in a wran
gle over whether Buchanan's
spells of sickness to which he
said he had been suject were
caused y 'indigestion of by his
discovery that' his wife had de
ceived him as to the parentage of
a baby boy." Buchanan is suing
Dr. William O. Spencer and Mrs.
Alta B. Y. Spalding, proprietor
of the women's hospital, for $25,-
000 damages on the ground that
they conspired with bis wife in
palming off on him a baby boy
of which he was not the father.
The defense counsel believed it
scored a substantial point today
when the court ruled that Bu
chanan's hope' to recover damages
would depend upon his ability to
prove that the defendants had
conspired 'wilfully, wantonly and
maliciously to deceive "and dam
age him.1 The ruling -was made
when defense attorneys objected
to Buchanan '- giving testimony
concerning 'mental suffering,
which they argued could have no
bearing on an action for fraud
and deceit. - .
Direct examination of Buchan
an ended suddenly this morning
after he testified, with a display
of emotion, that his wife's hoax
had killed all his love and affec
tion 'for JierT" " ' """"

LONDON. June 11. (By A P.)
A strong note pretesting against
tho sending of money by the Rus
sian soviet government to assist
tho workers during the recent gen
eral strike in Great Britain was
dispatched to Moscow by.tbe Brit
ish government last night. It
transmitted to Sir Robert -Hodg
son, British representative at Mos
cow for presentation to the soviet
government. No official, text of
the document is yet available, and
only its general tenor is known.
The communication, according
n urinftfifljil vprsinns. RPt forth
that the British authorities have
definite proof that part of the
money offered from Moscow to the
trades union congress was donated
by the soviet government itself.
This money, the note adds, was
sent In violation of the Anglo-
Russian trade agreement, and' the
belief is held that it was intended
to foster a movement to- bring
tbout a change of government in
Great Britain.
As usual in all matters concern
ing Russia, "strong feelings have
been aroused varying according to
the political views' of those con
cerned. The government admits
that it never consulted with the
Russian representatives in London
on the subject of the contribu
tions, and the Xussian embassy
here denies that its government
sent money to support the gentral
strike.
