DOES MAN OR WIFE
OWN WEDDING GIFTS?
Jury in Washington, D. C, Un
able to Decide After Deliber
ating for Six Hours.
Washington, May 20. The solu
tion of the problem, as to who owns
the wedding presents, the bride or the
husband, or whether in the event of
a disagreement between the pair a
distribution should be made, proved
too difficult for twelve "mere men"
lo deeide. After deliberating six
hours over the matter, the jury to
whom the question bad been submit
ted reported lo Justice Gould its in
ability lo reach a verdict.
Chivalry seemed not to abound
among the jurors, as only a few are
said to have been found to suggest
a complete surrender of the presents
to the wife. At least two of the jur
ors insisted (bat all the presents be
longed lo the husband. Others fa
vored a division of the "spoils" of mar
riage. After six hours' wr;ugliug the
"triangle" still existed and an agree
ment was hopeless.
Justice Gould dismissed t lie jury
from further consideration of the ease.
Unless the husband and wife can
reach an agreement the presents will
remain in the custody of the United
Stales marshal until the ease is again
reached on the calendar and the prob
lem submitted to twelve other men
for solution.
The "delicate" quest inn crew out
of the matrimonial infelicitv of Rene
(,. Kauseher and his wife, Julia Marie
Kauseher. Six mouths after the wed
ding, at which presents of glassware,
silverware ami niahoiianv furniture,
valued at $.UKK), had been received
from friends and well wishers, a disa
greement arose. Mrs. Kauseher de
parted December 14, I'XH), from her
husband's home and took with her
the wedding presents, under the be
lief shared by many mortals that such
remembrances belong to the wife.
When the husband reached home
ami missed both wife and presents he
sought Attorney J. S. Kasby-Smith
and through him instituted a pro
ceeding in replevin to secure posses
sion of (he gifts, which he considered
belonged tn the husband, together
with all other personal property in
the home. The writ was served on
Mrs. Kauseher by a deputy marshal,
who took possession of the presents
and has -ince held ihetn in st-Mano.
Mrs. Kauseher retained Attorneys
T.. J. Mather and John Hoyte Car
modv to defend her right to the gifts
and the matter was threshed out be
fore Justice Gould and a jury for
three days.
Mrs. Kauseher also instituted di
vorce proceedings which were dis
missed for failure to prove the eharg-

BY OWN MOTHER
Martha Houston Charges That
Orpha Greener Exercised
Influence Over Grandfather.
SUIT IS TO SET ASIDE
DEED TO TRACTS OF LAND
Daughter Gains Title, Threaten
ing to Leave Sick Mother
and Grand Parent.
Bringing a suit against her own
daughter and asking the court to set
aside a deed to several tracts of land
in the vicinity of Scio on the ground
that the daughter obtained title to the
same through an alleged fraud, from
her own grandfather Was the jtst of a
suit filed at the office k of County
Clerk Willard Marks this morning.
In the complaint Martha Houston
alleges that in 1907 she became strick
en with paralysis and that prior to
that time she had attended to all of
the household duties of her father's
home, and cared for him during his
declining years. She alleges that in
April 19 10, her father, the late James
Williams, became enfeebled and in
capacitated at the age of 90 years
and that it was at this time that they
invited Orpha Henningser who is now
Orpha Greener, a daughter of the
plaintiff and the granddaughter of the
deceased, to live with them and at
tend to them by administering medi
cal treatment and attention during
their sickness.
After residing with them for some
time, it is alleged that Orpha Greener
demanded reward for her services un
der continual threats to leave the
plaintiff and her father to care for
themselves as best they could, Fin
ally fearing that they would be left
alone, the aged man deeded to his
granddaughter1 an acre of land.
After this was done it is alleged
that the defendant continued to bur
den them with threats that she would
leave them uncared for and th after
repeated threats of this nature, the
late Janus Williams, signed over all
oi his property to her, consisting of
several tracts of land located near
Scio. It is charged that the defendant
took advantage of the feeble state of
the deceased's mind, that the execu
tion of the deed was caused by undue
influence and constraint exercised
upon him by the defendant, by im
portunity which could not be resisted
so that he was constrained to do what
was against his will fearing that he
would be left alone without being
cared for.
The late James Williams died at
Scio on August 19. 1'Ml, and left as
his only heir the plaintiff, Martha
Houston, according to the complaint.
The plaintiff demands judgment
that the deed purporting to convey
the several tracts of laud from Wil
liams to the defendant as Orpha Ilen
ningser, be set aside and annuled.

ARGETSINGER WILL FIGHT
CASE AGAINST HIM MAY 24
Waived Examination in Justice
Court at Eugene Yesterday,
Bonds Fixed at $2,000.
Harry- Argetsinger, who was ar
rested here Saturday night, by Chief
of Police Austin and taken to Eu
gene Sunday by Deputy Sheriff Cro-,
tier, of Lane county, charged with a
statutory offense, was arraigned be
fore Justice Wells, at Eugene yester
day morning, and waived examination
and was bound over in the sum of
$2000. His brother went his bonds
and he was released until May 24, the
date set for his preliminary hearing.
The chief witness in the case cannot
appear against him until then.
The complaining witnesses in the
case are Alameda and Alvana Mee,
twins of that city. One of the girls
gave birth to a child a few days ago
and an investigation, as to who was
responsible for her condition was con
ducted by the parents with the result
that the girl divulged the secret of her
relations with Argetsinger and the
matter was placed in the hands of
the Lane county sheriff.
It was while he was employed as a
carpenter on the Oregon Electric
freight depot at Eugene last summer,
that it is alleged, Argetsinger became
intimate with tlie Mee twins. The
claim is made that he promised to
marry one of the girls. Argetsinger
admits this but denies the specific
charge against him and has secured
counsel and will fight the case. The
penalty for conviction is from one
to five years in the penitentiary.

The following communication was

Editor of Democrat:
I, Mrs. Oliver, have never said that
the assault on Mrs. Argetsinger was a
make-up and never will say so, for it
was no make-up, for there were two
masked men who assaulted my daugh
ter and I found her tied and gagged
and I untied her. Parties who say
that it was a maike-up telj falsehoods.
My daughter has never' said there
were no men there. What theory
could we have to say such an out
rageous thing, when there, were two
men there ami she was tied? I am
willing to go with any police or of
ficers to face parties in what they
call a make-up. 1 think mothers or
fathers have ltltle to do to start such
outlandish rumors as are going
around. I, Mrs. Oliver, would like to
find the low-down rascals that com
mitted such a crime on my daughter
and other mothers who love their
children should not think of talking
as some are talking.

GREAT HONOR WON BY AN
ALBANY WINDOW DRESSER
Alati H. Banks of Young's Store
Wins Second Prize in
Great Contest.
For the purpose of finding out how
much real interest the window dres
sers all over the country, are taking
in Corset displays, the Gossard Cor
set Co. of Chicago, recently held a
"Window Trim Contest."
Alan H. Banks, the display man
ager at S. E. Young and Son's store,
won second prize in the contest.
In announcing the results of the
contest, the Gossard Co. said: "So
varied and beautiful were the many
photographs submitted, that it was ab
solutely necessary for us to have the
Ixoester School of Window- Trim
ming, at 304 West Jackson Blvd.,
Chicago, make the final decisions in
awarding the first, second, and third
i"':as offered."
Window trimmers from all over the
United States participated in the con
test, and the fact that a local man
won second prize, proves that the peo
ple of Albany can see absolutely first
class window trims, right here at
home, every day in the year, without
going to the larger cities.
