BATTLE OVER CHILDREN
CALIFORNIA PARTIES IN LEGAL
BATTLE IN POLK AND YAMHILL
Mrs. Griffin Seeks to Prevent Husband
From Enforcing; Order of Court.
Would Be Divorced Here.
Details of what promises to be a
most Interesting legal battle came to
light last Friday, when Sheriff On-
sought to make service of -summons
in a divorce suit pending ln Yamhill
county upon the defendant, Bertram
S. Griffin, who recently came to Dal
las from California. The plaintiff is
Emma A. Grifiln, and the parties were
formerly residents of Crescent City,
California, Mr. Griffin still being in
business there. The complaint re
cites the fact that there are itwo
children Involved, and out of this
has come a series of legal contests
that are startling n their nature.
It appears that in 1903 the. parties
were married in California. In 1913,
Mrs. Griffin filed an action for di
vorce in the Superior court for Deli
Norte county, California, Crescent
City being the county seat. The prop
erty interests of the parties were ev
idently settled out of court, and Mrs.
Griffin was permitted to take a de
cree without contest. She was award
ed the custody of the two children,
both girls, one. aged about eight years
and the other about five years. It
appears further that the order of the
court in granting 'the interlocutory de
cree of divorce provided that the
mother was not to remove the chil
dren from the jurisdiction of that
court without the court's permission,
and that the father was to have the
right at stated times to take the chil
dren out with him, and to visit and
be with them. In California, under
the statutes there, a final decree of
divorce is not granted at the time of
the trial, but only an Interlocutory
decree. The decree remains interlocu
tory until the expiration of a year's
time, when upon application of either
of the parties the decree may be
made final.
It also further appears that In
June, 1914, (Mrs. Griffin came before
the judge of the California court and
asked permission to take, the chil
dren out of the state on a vacation.
Permission was granted her, but the
order specified that she was to re
turn, them to Crescent City in time for
the opening of the fall term of school
; in 1914. Mrs. Griffin went to Mc
Mlnnvllle and since that time has re
mained In Yamhill county. Falling
to comply with the order the Califor
nia court issued a second order di
recting the mother to return the chil
dren immediately. This order was
ippored by Mrs. Griffin. Later, steps j
WtV' tain taken to compel the re
turn 0,'th phflflrpn. and notion Hprvpd
upon Mrs. Griffin. An order was made
by the court, but to no avail. The
court then made another order taking
the custody of the children from the
mother and giving them into the cus
tody of the father. The mother, as
well as her parents, were cited to ap
pear for contempt of court.
It appears that, armed with this
later order, Mr. Griffin came to Mc
Mlnnville, Interviewed the district at
torney there, and sought to take the
proper steps to return the children
to their home. The district attorney
did not take any side in the matter.
Other attorneys were interviewed,
- but all had been in a way retained by
the other side, and Griffin came to
Dallas .and employed Oscar Hayter
and Walter L; Tooze, Jr., to look out
for his Interests. As soon as Mrs.
Griffin heard thnt her husband was on
his way to Oregon, she appeared In
the county court of Yamhill county,
filed her petition, and got an order
appointing herself guardian of the1
persons of the children. Griffin's in
to rneys filed a petition In the Yam
hill countv court asking to set the j
kuardlanshfp (appointment aside on j
the ground that It had been obtained
by fraud, and set up the proceedings
in the California court.
At this time Mrs. Griffin dropped
out of sight. Efforts to find her htii
the children proved futile. A citation
placed in the hands of the sheriff of
Yamhill county for service was re
turned unserved. An effort was thei
made to get service by publication or
the citation, the county court grant
ing an order to this effect. Upon th
date set for the hearing, Mrs. Griffin
appeared by McCain, Vinton, and Bur
dett, McMinnville attorneys, and ob
jected to this mode of service, and
were sustained by the county judge,
the court holding that personal ser
vice was necessary- An effort made to
place attorneys for Mrs. Griffin under
oath In M der to learn her where
abouts failed, the court sustaining ob
jections to the procedure. The sher
iff was again handed a citation ind
Instructed to make service. In this
he failed. It appears that private
parties were placed on the trail In
Yamhill county, and that they located
the children in McMinnville at the
home of one T. W. Henderson, out
the mother was not seen. At the
time -the children were at the Hen
derson home the sheriff was seen to
drive to the home. Attorneys for Mrs. ;
Griffin stated that when they got ,
ready to appear In court, their client j
would show up.
On June 17 last, Mrs. Griffin ap
peared In court In Yamhill county by
filing a complaint for divorce against
her husband, setting forth a number
of allegations of cruel snd Inhuman
treatment, and alleging that her hus
McMtnnvllle seeking to kidnap the
McMinnville seeking to kid nay the
children, and asking a restraining or
der preventing hfm from taking them,
and granting the custody to her pend
ing the suit- Receiving information
that Griffin had been In Dallas con
Jnuously ever since the petition to
Vnke the guardianship appointment
was filed In the county- court of i
Yamhill county, the summons was
sent to Sheriff Orr for service. Polk
county's sheriff made an effort to lo
cate Griffin, but about the time the
papers arrived here, Griffin left the
county. His present, whereabouts are
unknown, but his 'attorneys in the
guardianship proceedings have in
formed Sheriff Orr that in due time he
will probably be oh hand to accept
service in the last case.
The interlocutory decree of divorce
granted at the instance of Airs. Griffin
In California, which can be made final
at any time by application of either
party, or by the court of its own mo
tion, the securing of the guardianship
appointment in Yamhill county by
Mrs. Griffin and her successful dodg
ing of service of citation for over two
months, and then her last step of filing
another suit for divorce in this state,
presents a series of moves and counter-moves
that have but very few
parallels In the legal forum. The
case will be watched with much in
terest in Polk county, as Mr. Griffin
has been living in Dallas for nearly
three months and has made many
friends and acquaintances here.
In speaking to a representative of
The Observer sometime ago, Mr. Grif
fin stated that he had no disposition
to take the children absolutely away
from the mother, but that he wanted
their return to their home In Crescent
City, where he could see them at the
times stated in the order of the court,
and where he could be with them
without having to travel the country
over looking for them. He has not
had an opportunity to see the chil
dren since his arrival in Oregon,-except
during the first day or so of his
visit here . Since that time they have
been kept in hiding with the mother,
except as seen at the Henderson home.
They were removed from school "In
McMinnville at the time the mother
disappeared from sight, and failed to
attend the schools there during the
balance of the season.
Neither Mr. Hayter nor Mr.. Tooze,
attorneys for Griffin, will express any
opinion as to the outcome of the legai
battle that Is bound to follow. Both
state that ft is a matter solely for the
court, and that it would be Improper
to make any comments at this time.

Association Announces Control of 50,.
000 Bales Form of Contract
Found Not Irregular.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Oregon Hopgrowers'' association,
held in Salem on Saturday, John M.
Grant of this city was elected to mem
bership on the board. The executive
committee reported that the organiza
tion had a membership of 666; that
the capital stock of $100,000 had been
subrcrlbed and a part of it paid, and
that the association now controls
more than 60,000 bales of hops.
M. L. Jones, president, denounced
reports that the form of contract un
der which the association was doing
business was Irregular. He said that
John H. McNary, lawyer for the or
ganization, had made an investigation
and had found the contract to be the
best In existence.
"We are getting along nicely," con
tinued Mr. Jones, "and all our mem
bers are encouraged over prospects.
There is no question that the asso
ciation will be the greatest boon to
the growers In the history of the in
dustry. Through it prices will not
fluctuate as they have in the past and
growers will get a fair return for their
investment."
NORMAL SCHOOL IS GUEST.
Students, Teachers and Alumni Are
Entertained by President.
President and Mrs. J. H. Ackerman
Saturday night entertained the fac
ulty, alumni and student body of the
Oregon Normal school in the new

The Southern Pacific company has
handled many shipments of extraor
dinary value since the last spike was
driven In its transcontinental line in
18(19, but none quite so valuable as
the Liberty Bell, which it will bring
into California and to the Panama-Pa
cific exposition at San Francisco
next month, and which historic relic
of our national independence will be
fiXhih trt at Snlfm on .Tnlv IS. Hnn-
tions are being taken to insure the
safe transportation of the priceless
relic.
The bell will be handled on a spec
ial train. It will be under guard
every moment from the time it leaves
Philadelphia until It Is returned
there. " It will be carried on a spec
ial gondola freight car, equipped with
all the safety appliances necessary to
enable It to be moved in a passenger
train. The gondola will occupy the
same position as an observation car,
at the end of the train, that the res
tdents of the cities and towns through
which it passes may view the bell
There are six other cars sleepers,
diner, etc these to be occupied by
the exposition dignitaries, Philadel
phia officials and others making up
the escort committee of Blxty or sev
enty persons.
The bell will leave Philadelphia on
July 7. Safety of transpoi tat ion and
the population of the country travers
ed by the railroads ' determined the
routing. It will pass through Chicago
and Kansas City and thence be trans
ported to Omaha, "where It will be
taken in charge by the Union Pacific.
The iatjter road will carry It through
Denver and Salt Lake City to Ok den,
where the Oregon Short line will as
sume charge and take It to Boise.
From Boise, It will go to Portland;
and after being on exhibition six
hours, the Southern Pacific will be
come its guardian. This will be on
July 15. On that day, the Southern
Pacific will begin its transportation
to San Francisco via the Shasta route,
the residents along which will be
given an opportunity to view the his
torical reminder of the war of Inde
pendence. The bell will leave Port
land, at noon, July 15. It will reach
Salem at 2 p. m. of the same day, be
on exhibition until 2:30, and will then
be moved to Eugene, arriving there at
0 p. m. On Friday, July 16, the bell
will be in California.
Every precaution will be taken by
the Southern Pacific In transferring
the bell across the bay from Oakland
to San Francisco. A special barge
will deliver it to the San Francisco
freight Blip, where a special freight
car and switch engine will be waiting
to take It to Third and Townsend
streets. Here it will be placed on a
truck and carried through the city to
the fair grounds. The total mileage
covered by the Liberty Bell's west-1
ward Journey is 5,234. The average
speed per hour will be 28 miles, the
railroads handling the movement have
decided that to haul it faster might
endanger its safety. The bell already
has one crack in It. The Itinerary for
the return movement has not yut
been decided upon.

ATTORNEY SNELLING HAS GONE.
Departs From V 11 lamina With Auto
mobile the Property of Another,
E. S. Snelling, an attorney who has
been holding forth at Wlllamlna dur
ing the past year, unceremoniously de
parted from that place a few days
ago, leaving numerous trusting towns
people to mourn his sudden determi
nation to seek greener fields for his
operations. The Willamlna Times is
authority for the statement that this
disciple of Blackstone was arrested at
Newberg while making his get-away
In an automobile which he had gained
possession of through misrepresents-'
tions, and the machine taken awayl
from him by the owner. Snelling was
then permitted to continue his way,
and it is surmsed that he went to
White Salmon, Washington.
The same authority says the attor
ney is a genfus for obtaining money
y ways and means that are shady,
but yet within the law. Snelling ha
been a frequent visitor to Dallas, and
is known to a number of people here.
He was attorney for the Bentley Tele
phone company of Bentley, and prior
to hiB leaving WTiIlamina got into
some kind of entanglement with it.

Up Sales for Coming Event. -.
This is ticket day for the Chautau

an aggressive canvass, and expect the
support of practically every leading
citizen of the community In Its under
taking. The admission for the season
is $2.60, and the long list of attrac
tions warrants a charge of double
that sum. The talent this year Is
nnusually good, and there is plenty of
it, as has heretofore been shown by
The Observer in its Illustrated arti
cles -on the forthcoming Chautauqua.
More than 200 season tickets must,
be disposed of In order to make the

in charge hopes to do today. Meet
the members of the committee with
a smile and dig up your coin.

The Marion county court has beer
petitioned to take steps toward the
construction of, a new bridge across
the Willamette river between that and
Polk county, and the Polk county
court will probably receive a similar
document at. its July session. In the
neighboring county two petitions were
presented, one headed by Frank M.
Brown and the other by E. W. Haz

one hundred names. It is necesnary
that the courts be petitioned before
action can be taken. Marlon has talc

The valuable herd, of registered Jer
sey cattle, owned by Congressman C,
N. McArthur of Portland, and kept on
his farm near Rlckreall, underwent a
tuberculin test at the hands of Dr.
W. H. Lyttle, state veterinarian, last
Thursday and Friday, with the result
that every animal In the herd passed
the test satisfactorily, and made such
a showing for health and vigor that
Dr. Lyttle complimented the owner In
the highest terms. Congressman Mo
Arthur was very much gratified at the
result of the test, particularly because
of the false reports that were cir
culated a few months ago relative to
the health of his herd.
Congressman McArthur's Jerseys
are all high-class animals and rank
well with the many herds of which
Polk county Is justly proud. Many
of the cows In this herd have quail-
fled for register of merit, some of
them having made records as high as
675 pounds of butter a year. There
are fourteen cows on test for register
of merit at the present time, and by
the end of the year the owner ex
pects every matured female animal to
qualify. The average production of
butter per year In this herd is 600
pounds, and the owner hopes to in
crease this average to 600 pounds be
fore the end of another year. It la
quite likely that he will succeed In
doing this, for the reason that many
of the official records were rrjide
when the cows were 2 -year-olds. These
same cows are now being re-tested
and will show much larger yields
when their present official tests are
completed.
Congressman McArthur is also ex
tensively engaged in breeding Duroc
Jersey bogs, and announces that he
will hold a sale of brood sows, gilts
and boars in September.

Last Friday the Boy Scouts of Dal
las went on a hike to the mouth of
Canyon Creek. They left Dallas about
10 o'clock a. m., each Bcout currying
his roll of blankets. Some also car
ried their mess kits and "eats," but
most of the "eats" and the tents were
hauled in a buggy. They got to Can
yon creek in 'about two hours and
after eating a lunch and choosing
their camping place, they proceeded
to cleaning up and getting the places
ready for the tents. On the way uo,
they found the road partially ob
structed by a slide of earth and rocks
on a narrow grade along the bank of
the La Creole. They cleared away
the slide so" that it is again reasonably
safe to drive over this grade. This
they did as one of their daily "good
turns." Several of the boys went
fishing, but caught only a few fish.
After the camps were readyf beds
made, etc., all went to work getting
their suppers. The different varieties
of the culinary art displayed here
wasn't a few, they all had something
to eat. A nre in front of each of the
five tents, and something cooking or
frying over each fire was a sight
worth seeing. Several of the boys.
with a little more practice, will make
pretty good cooks. After supper a
number of games were played until
bedtime, then all turned in excent a
few who acted as guards.. Some of
these remained up until 2:30, but
finding nothing more to "guard" they.
too, went to bed and to sleep. In
the morning all were out by 5:30
getting their breakfasts. After break
fast the beds were rolled up, tents
razed and all were ready for the
hike, home by 8:00, most of them get
ting back to Dallas by 10 o'clock. Sev
eral of the boys did their dajly good
turn by throwing sticks and stones out
of the road; at one place they even
cleared out some stumps and brush
so as to make a good road around a
bad mud-hole.
Two of the boys had slight acci
dents, one cutting his finger with an
axe; the other cut his thumb on a tin
can. They also had the misfortune to
meet some larger boys while out there
who were not scouts. Three of the
scouts had good fishing poles along
and two of these were missing in the
morning, but one has been returned
and word has been received that the
other will be returned.
Those making the hike were Her
schel Fldler, George Smith, Edwin
Serr, Ernest McCatlon, Donald Hayes,
Lewis Hosch, Carvel Campbell, Ray
mond Gohrke, Wilbert Hamilton, Vic
tor Williams, Frank Dornhecker, Jack
Richardson, Donald Ballantyne, Dale
Brock and Scoutmaster Rempel.
The object of these hikes is to give
the boys a better chance to observe
nature, to train them to take care of
themselves and to help others. Thia
organization, the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica, is very decidedly for peace and
against war. It instils such virtues
as honor, loyalty, obedience and pat
riotism. It is also non-sectarian, but
it recognizes the religious element In
the training of a boy and its policy
is that the religious organization or
Institutional with which the boy scout
is connected shall give definite atten
tion to his religious life. Before he
becomes a scout a boy must promise:
On my honor I will do my best. To
do my duty to God and my country, .
and to obey the scout law. To help
other people at all times. To keep
myself physically strong, mentally
awake, and morally straight.
The scout law consists of twelve
points: A scout is trustworthy; loyal,
helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave,
clean, reverent.
