TO PRESENT WIFE
PA HIS, July 21. M. Caillaux told
the court he was first murrled In 1906
to Mme. itueydan. He said his mar
riage was not happy but he would not
tell why. Mutters reached a crisis In
IS 10, he suld. A puckaite of letters
riad been purloined from his desk.
They were from Oullluux to his present
wife. Cnlllaux said he offered his
first wife the choice of a divorce or a
reconciliation but Insisted on the re
turn of the letters. Ills viTe chose a
reconciliation, returned his letters
and they were burned. Caillaux de
clared his wife swore there were no
photographs or copies or the pui
lolned letters extant. The couple
JiKnln became estranged and were di
vorced In March. 1911. In Octo'iei
when Caillaux was premier, his chief
of tnl inet Informed him his divorced
wife ):nd offered to a newspaper man
certain letters for publication, and
that one of them was "Ton Jo'' a
communication published later 'n Ie
Figaro.
"Those were the letters stolen from
my det-k," declared Caillaux to Des
claux, his chief of cabinet, "und the
publication of them would hurt me
a great deal, but solely on account of
their personal character."
"A few weeks after," continued
t'ullluux from the stand, " I married
my present wife." After relating that
' their life was very happy, he said,
"Le Figaro's campaign against me
was particularly grave since the edi
tor, fnlmette, signed his articles. He
tried to purchase witnesses against
. m. I too, might have Indulged In
such politics, since I was offered doc
uments against Calmetto, but I refused
them, for I would not stoop to take
up such arms against my opponent."
- Cailluiix explained the two letters the
publication of which his wife so feared
were written to her by hlmseuf before
i their Inarrlage. They were very per
sonal. One of the letters he said,
' bared his soul, revealing his inner
most thought for years back.

XEW YORK, July 21. The threat
ened strike by American and Nation
al league players Is believed averted
by action of the meeting of the Am
erican league magnates, which au
thorized the release of Infielder Kraft
around whom the storm centered, to
the Xew York International league
club at a valuation placed on his ser
vices by the Xashville southern asso
ciation club, whose claim Is upheld
by the national commission. It was
against the national commission's
ruling sustaining the Xashville club's
right to use Kraft that the player's
fraternity rebelled. President FulU
of the fraternity later announced
there will be no strike now as the dis
position of Kraft is agreeable to the
players.
The program adopted by the Ameri
can league at the meeting enabfed
the masnates to sidestep the strike

concerned. President Johnson reced

Pendleton, Ore., July 21.
Editor East Oregonlan:
The impression that I favor raising
water rates to consumers is entirely
wrong. Xo member of the commis
sion wishes to do that. This is the
People's plant. They will have to
charge themselves rates enough to
meet all expenses. My letter some
time ago was intended to inform the
people that there are not enough
funds on hand to pay for the plant.
We lack J34.000, according to latest
estimates. If this is provided through
a bond sale there is no reason why
rates, should be raised. Our present
income is enough to pay interest and
operating expenses and provide a
sinking fund. I am opposed to a
raise of rates to consumers. If for
any reason we should have to in
crease our -Income I would favor a
higher charge for water used for pub
lic purposes, such as street flushing

Court Justice Blssell has vacated a
temporary injunction obtained by or

Hal Chase, sensational first baseman
who Jumped from the Chicago Ameri
cans to the Buffalo Federals, from
playing with Buffalo. The decision
is regarded as the most important vic
tory secured by the federals In their

! erlcans. Many similar cases depnd-
ed on th outcome of the Chase in
junction. As in several otner decisions in dif

tracts. Justice Pis.se I ruled that
Chases contract with the Chicago
Americans lacked mutuality. The
court denied, however, that the Sher
man anti-trust law is violated, but
held that organized baseball is a mo
nopoly of the baseball business in
contravention of the common law.
John Ryan, attorney for the Chicago
Americans, promised that the case
