Bade In Seattle and a gospel ship to be used in missionary work in Alaska and on the Pacific coast. The Seattle minister said that he first became acquainted with Mrs. Kennedy in Seattle, December 14, 1928 and that during the days which followed, the defendant tel ephoned the plaintiff a great many times and arranged to take the plaintiff to luncheon, dinner and to theatres. "JU" Started Things, Plaintiff Alleges Mrs. Kennedy, Rev. Clark re lated "evidenced a 'great deal of interest" in him and inquired into his personal history. She was in formed "that the plaintiff was a widower sole and unmarried and was an ordained minister of the gospel," while the defendant, Mrs. Kennedy, said that the was un married and also an ordained min ister. She further informed him, Rev. Clark said. -that she was -"lonely and alone" and suggested that they meet and go to places of en joyment together. Subsequently, the complaint states, "plaintiff and defendant . were together a great many times, the times and places of meeting being arranged by defendant." "At each of the meetings men tioned," the minister said, "the defendant made love to the plain tiff," informing him many times ofUhe great advantage to be gain ed by the "plaintiff joining forces with the defendant." She Propose, Bat He Is Very Coy During the .meetings, he said, Mrs. Kennedy Informed him many times that she wanted a home and a husband and suggested that they marry, to which he replied that "plaintiff was not sure," he want ed to marry the defendant. Rev. Clark said that on or about December 20. 1928, Mrs. Kennedy called him on the telephone and , arranged for him to meet him In the dining room of a Seattle ho tel, to hare luncheon. On the day after the luncheon, Clark said. Mrs. Kennedy Informed him she had rented an apartment in the hotel "where the plaintiff and de . fendant could talk undistrubed." and invited him to come to the apartment. They went to the apartment together, he said, and upon reaching the apartment, "de fendant made violent and passion ate love to plaintiff and requested plaintiff to promise to marry de fendant." Money Offered To Prospective Spouse Mrs. Kennedy promised Clark, he said, that if he would marry her she would finance him in the evangelical and religious lecture work by building and managing a tabernacle in Seattle and equip- nine and maintaining a gospel ship for reMgious work in Alaska and oh the Pacific coast. She also promised that they would jointly carry on religious worn:, ne saia. Upon those terms, Clark said that be did promise to marry the evangelist. The marriage was to have taken place some time early in 1929, he said, the exact date to be decided upon mutually be tween the principals. Love Letters Sent By Score, Charge When Mrs. Kennedy went to Portland for holidays, Clark re ceived communications from her constantly, he said, by telegraph. letter, postcard and pacaage. ne returned to Seattle for one. day December 26. He said, and tele phoned him to meet her at an apartment in a Seattle hotel. He relates that these msetlngs were repeated several times thereafter and that he complied with her re quests to 'meet her at apartments 'relying on the promise of mar riage." The plaintiff said that the de fendant had held herself out to him ii Marv E. Clark and that he believed that was her name, first becoming aware that the "defen dant's true name was Minnie Kennedy on Feb. 3." when he saw her picture in a newspaper. He said that she abandoned him thereafter and that he did not see her again until Feb. 18. when she informed him of her true name and that she would not marry him. Preliminary to the purported wedding, Clark had addressed hla on and daughter and his aisters with Mrs. Kennedy' knowledge that he intended to marry the de fendant. He also gave np his em ployment, which, it was explain ed was not ministerial, as he is at present without a charge. By reason of Mrs. Kennedy's breach of promise to marry him, Clark ald that he is "heartbroken humiliated, disturbed In peace of mind." and prevented from carry ing on his religious work and that he is shamed, dishonored and broken in health. In addition to the $50,000, he asks costs, dis bursements and such other re lief as the court m7 deem reason able and Just. (Continued from Page l. do the county court no good; In fact.

This dipfomdey ordinarily would be a cautidus avoidance by mem bers of the foreign missions of en tertaining at the same dinner par ty .Mr. Curtis and his sister and -members of either the diplomatic corps or the senate. ... Members of the corps today in dicated that it would be an of fense to the state department, which has ftredy ruled that Mrs. Gana ranks below the wives of ambassadors and foreign minis ters, to put Mrs. Gann ahead of any of these, and an offense to the vice-president of the United States, $15,000 of. taxes was redneod from Marion county's roll by this decision. Whether or not state banks, which continue to pay taxes, are affected by such a decision . is a moot question. Competent legal advice locally says that state banks are not affected by the de cision while some bankers and their attorneys declare that what is sauce for the goose, is net ap plesauce for the gander and con sequently state banks, if they would go to court, could establish similar exemption as now held by the national banks. The 1929 legislature sought to remedy the condition through an excise tax, which would extract five per cent of the gross profits of a bank or competing corpora tion In the form of a tax. This would not put the national banks to as large an outlay In taxes as at present but "Would open a field of taxable property never before touched. The law is not effective until 1930 and then only if it is not referended and voted down. E ITS ULTIMATE (Continued from Pace 1.) S: Cheek, C. S. Chrlsman, H. B. Churchill, W. C. Clare, Ewlng Clark.

He took the position that the senate having adopted a resolution on February 8, 1924. calling upon the president to cause proceedings to be insti tuted to cancel the leases on naval oil reserves made by Albert B. Fall, as secretary of the Interior, the irqulry had passed beyond the 'control of the senate committee. He Insisted that a suit having been started charging conspiracy and fraud, he could not be com pelled to testify as a witness ex cept In the courts. When brought to trial Sinclair contended the questions he re fused to answer related to his pri vate affairs, and to matters in the control of the courts and chal. lenged the Jurisdiction of the sen ate committee to continue Its in vestigation In view -of the suits which bad been filed in the courts. Constitutional Powers Broadened By Ruling Justice Butler, who delivered the opinions cancelling the leases on the naval oil reserves, present ed the views of the court today, pointing out. after a careful re. view of the case's history, that It had been held in the case against Mai Daughtery that the two hous es of congress "possess not only such powers as are expressly granted to them by the conten tion, but such auxiliary powers as are necessary and approximate to make the express power effective." Justice Butler declared the evi dence did not sustain Sinclair's contention that the investigation was avowedly not In aid of legis lation, and that he had failed to show the committee was not pro ceeding with the purpose of ascer taining whether additional legis lation might be advisable, con gressafter It called upon the! president to Institute proceedings to can eel the leases Fall had made had authority, the court held, to fnrther Investigate the validity of the leases, and to discover whe ther persons other than those in the suit against the Mammoth Oil company were Involved. ; QnecHon Legitimate T - ' Opinion Declares . ' "The question propounded was within the authorization of the LEGION DR1V IB GOAL mm who has publicly protested the de partment's rule, to place his .sister below the diplomats. But there is one social function on the calendar which may bring the- question to an Issue quickly. Carlos Da vila, ambassador fron Chile, who has already sent Invita tions for'a formal dinner party for 200 guests at the Pan-American Union on April 11, the only func tion on the social books so far where the question can be put to a test, has announced that, unless Secretary - Stimson reverses the dnling of former Secretary Kellogg In the meantime, he will be oblig ed to abide by the present ruling and Ignore the protest that Curtis has registered. He is : averse to offending' the vice-president but pointed out that decisions from the state depart ment are equivalent to official re quests to the diplomatic corps. committee. the opinion .stated, "and the legitimate scope of in vestigation to enable the senate to determine whether the powers granted to or assumed by the sec retary of the interior and the sec retary of the navy should be with, drawn, limited, or allowed to remain "unchanged." The mater for determination, the court explained "was whether the facts called for by the ques tion were so related to the sub jects covered by the senate's reso lution that such facts reasonably could "be said to be 'pertinent to the question under Inquiry." This was for the trial judge to decide, and not for a jury. The courj found no merit In contentions raised by Sinclair on rulings of the trial court about the admission and exclusion of certain evidence, and declared the contempt judgement was proper. 1 Garden Club Reorganized With Her Help; New President Name TURNER.

There has been no ques tion on the part fo the diplomats as to Vice President Curtis' social position at, functions or other af fairs at which diplomats are pre sent The diplomatic corps merely wants, it is said, the status of Mrs. Gann established definitely by Sec retary.

Read the Classified Ads. Have varied flavors on your table One of the greatest joys in eating is in being able to taste first one flavor, then another to contrast something sweet, for instance, after the delicate salt of some other food ; or the clear tang of juicy fruit with a piece of cake. It is sugar that helps these delightful contrasts most. It lends emphasis to other flavors by the sweetness of its own. Then it does something more.
