WIFE, PHI BOTH BREAK DOWN Hutchinson Admits Desert ing Spouse for Woman of Less "Arrogance' LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30 (AP) Two women, one the wife of Samuel S. Hutchinson, Chica go film distributor, and the oth er his admitted paramour, today were led weeping hysterically, from the superior court room where Hutchinson was on the witness stand testifying.

The Chicago man admitted that he was the father of Mrs. Taylor's 18-year-old daughter, Jane, and that the girl did not know her parents were not married. "Mrs. Taylor did not know I was married," Hutchinson said on the stand, tears occasionally coming to his own eyes, "when I met her in Valparaiso, Ind., in 1907. I made love to her and our relations were at my suggestion. "When she learned I had a wife," he continued, "she said she was going to leave me. I told her I hoped she wouldn't. I told her that my wife was selfish and ar rogant, and was greedy for my money. I said that I was not hap py." The plaintiff's wife, and the defendant burst into tears during this part of Hutchinson's testi mony, and were helped out of the court room. TO IMILIlllI OF MANILA, Jan. 30.

FILIPINOS HOLD PETITION R AHTIFAG B1L1 IS FILED HERE Initiative Measure Seeks to Make Use of Cigarettes Unconstitutional Signatures of 99 Registered Voters Carried on Paper; Test Vote Sought A petition asking that the-initiative anti-cigarette measure be placed upon Marion county bal lots to be used during the gener al election of November was fil ed with the county clerk here-late Thursday afternoon by E. T. Atchley, field representative of the anti-cigarette league. The petition was signed by 99 registered voters of this county and most of the names were ob tained from persons living within the Immediate vicinity of Salem, It was reported. Breifly, the anti-cigarette measure has for its purpose: a constitutional amendment pro hibiting the Importation, manu facture, sale, purchase, posses sion, giving away, or materials for manufacture of cigarette, or advertisement thereof, and Impos ing penalties. A violation of the proposed law will be classed as a misdemeanor and the offender will be fined from $25 to $250 or imprisoned from 30 to 90 days, or both fine and imprisonment. Many Names Secured Atchley Declares "More than 10,000 names have already been obtained in our cam paign," said Atchley, as he filed the petition at the court house yesterday. "Interest In the antl cigarette move Is on the Increase. People are realizing more and more every day the need of such a move. Churches of the various denominations throughout the state are opening their doors and giving us a chance to present the facts on the evils of the cigar ette," the field representative said. Although the anti-cigarette league Is working spiritedly in putting the measure before the people for the November election. its representative held little hope that the bill would be adopted this year. "While I doubt if the measure will pass this fall, 1 am assured that we will poll a large vote," said Mr. Atchley. "We are merely taking the pulse of the voters of Oregon and what we will do after we have learned that is not ready for publication," he added. More Signatures Sought by Jjeague The signatures of 15,558 voters are desired by the league, that number being eighty per cent of the votes cast for the election of a supreme court judge during the last general election. It was claimed that promoters of the measure were not being backed by a church or a politi cal organization. Support of the work is gained through subscrip tion, it was said. Two lectures will be given in Salem pulpits Sunday by Mr. Atchley. Sunday morning he will speak In the German Baptist church while the congregation of the First United Brethren are to be his listeners in the evening. A. C. Bates, pastor of the Christian church at Mill City, as sisted the league representative in collecting signers to the peti tion submitted to the county clerk yesterday.

Two men whose names have been brought forward In this eon. nection are W. H. Dancy, present alderman and chairman of several important committees in the council, and W. Carlton Smith, local physician and a member ef the legislature at Its last session. D.incy! Already Has Place in Limelight Mention of Mr. Dancy in this connection is entirely logical, as he has been the presiding officer at numerous council meetings in the absence of the mayor and is familiar with those duties as well as with the general affairs of the city government. Mr.. Smith, when interviewed Thursday, said he was not sware that he had been mentioned for the office, and had naturally made no decision as to what his course would be if approached in the matter. He has not decided whether to become a candidate for the state senate, seek to suc ceed himself in the lower house or run for no office at all, and he considers that there is ample tims left to make a decision. C. JT. Support May Prove Real Handicap Nevertheless, it is generally ru mored that Mr. Smith will be urg ed to run for the office of mayor. He Is well known, prominent among the world war veterans, and generally popular. There is only one recognized objection to his selection, but in many quar ters that Is considered a serious one. If a candidate, his name . will undoubtedly be linked up with the perennial efforts of the Capital Journal to dominate city politics, and it has been said that his election would mean a perpet uation of the present antagonism in the council against those ef forts.
