.$50,000 Heart Balm Action
Filed by Minister Who
Says She Proposed
(Continued from Page 1.)
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

BANKS AND COURT
DIPLOMACY IS NEEDED
Foreign Delegates Have Real Chance Now
GREAT fesUEINYOLVED
WASHINGTON, April 8 (AP)
Diplomacy will be needed by
socially distraught Washington
while waiting for a decision from
Secretary .Stimson on solcal
standing of Mrs. Edwa.TT Everett
Gann, siste and officially desig
nated hostess of Vice-president
Curtis.
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.

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

When brought to trial Sinclair

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

The mater for determination,
the court explained "was whether

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.
It accents the true flavor of the
food it blends with. A sprin
kling of powdered or confec
tioners sugar over strawberries
softens their acid, and clarifies
their flavor. Or a small portion
of sugar on peas in cooking,
makes them taste more richly
like peas.
If you have varied health
foods on your table, you have
varied flavors . . . milk, fruits,
vegetables, cereals, meats, sim
ple desserts. For greater joy in
eating, flavor with sugar. The
best cooks are generous with
sugar. The Sugar Institute. adv.
