Continued from Saturday, January 10
The 500 unemployed, alleged
members of the 1. W. W., cnroutc
from I'ortlaml to California, afoot,
arc somewhere between here, and Ore
gon City and 'that they will arrive in
Albany sometime lomorrow or next
day, or perhaps sooner, is the belief
expressed in local police circles today.
It is believed that a conservative cs
liuiate as to the size of t lie crowd is
SIX) but whether they are all travelling
'together is not known. One report
has it that they are travelling in bunch
es of from 100 lo 140. They have
been on the road since .Monday, leav
ing I'orllasd at that lime. Slopping
in Oregon City they were furnished
with meals and lodging by the towns
people. The latest report received
here thi:. allcrnoon was lo the effect
that they left Oregon Cily this morn
ing and were Hearing Salem.
Made City Authorities Pay.
The action the mob look in Portland
jul prior to departing will be re
membered. They entered restaurants
anil cafes and ordered meals and then
told the proprietors lo send the bill
lo the city authorities.
Farty ibis morning Chief of Police
Austin coniinunicaicil wilb .Sheriff
I'.sch of Marion county and Chief of
I'olice Cedrick of Salem, asking lluni
if they had heard anything of the
hoofers. The Salem authorities said
the last heard of the mob was that
they were at Oregon City but it was
understood that they were cnroulc this
v ty.
This morning shortly before noon a
restaurant proprietor, fearing that the
uoh was on the outskirts of the city
and (earing that they would resort
lo the tactics employed in securing
meals in I'ortlaml, rushed frantically
' to police headquarters to inform the
police that he had heard 'that a mob
of 1411 had been seen a few miles north
of the city making their way here.
However, telephone communication
with farmers (ailed lo substantiate
tin-, and lit) until this afternoon noth
ing lias been heard of such a party.
Police Considering Matter
l.o.-al citizens arc more or less
wrought up over the prospective vi-il
of the army o( unemployed. The po
lice have given the nutter no little
consideration but arc of the opinion
that nothing serious will happen.
The horde of jobless men arc mere
ly a band who have been unable to I
secure employment, it is said, and
ino-l of them il is said, are
. W. W.'s. They are walking from
Portland lo California and while en
route are visiling all lite towns along
their route, living off of the enmity oi
(he people. Thus far ihcy have com
mitted no violence or serious disturb

Divorce Suit of Halsey Against
Halsey Goes in Favor of
Defendant,
SHE IS TO RECEIVE $10 A
MONTH FOR CHILDREN
Case in 1907 Involved Custody
of 10 Children and Properly
Rights.
Perhaps one of the most -jo triplicat
ed divorce cases ever tried in tiie Linn
county circuit court, was brought to
a close yesterday before Judy.. Gal
loway. It started in 1907, wneu J. W. Hal
sey, now of Falls City, w;n granted
a divorce from Elizabeth Halsey, on
the grounds of desertion. Jt involved
the custody of 10 children and proper,
ty rights. Both the pliitiuti and de
I'endanl have since nuimcd. During
the hearinir the olaintifi's wives Noa.
1 and 2, were present and lie was con
fronted by testimony behalf of ihe
defendant of his chiMio;i by ihe first
wife.
Was Great Church Goer.
That he paid more attention to going
to church than anything else awn com
pelled the children and the wife O do
ihe supporting, by mean of their l;
bor, was the koyi; jti of the testimony
and Judge Galloway's order was in fa
vor of the defendant.
The Halseys were married t,n Oc
tober JO, 1SS4. According to the com
plaint on which the divorce was se
cured in 1907, the dcl'milan deserted
the plaintiff's home in W05,
They had ten child' .:i. run-vg m
i.e from 1 year and 6 months up f
21 years. The plai:i:i;7 asK"d the cus
tody of all of them. He was repre
sented by Hewitt & ?o.
Children Were Divided.
The case was tried be.'or Juda L.
T. Harris in April 1907, ami by his or
der the plaintiff was .jive-i the custo
dy of William and Samuel V. Halsey,
wo minors and the defondar; was giv
en the care and custody tit Minnie H.,
Kfiic D., Ruth 1, Thomas C. unci
Melville C, until the uiriluv order of
court.
The second act of th'! pi occ( dings
was commenced when Attorney W. S.
Risley. in behalf of the defendant, filed
a motion to modify the decree, re
quiring plaintiff to contribute $-5 per
mouth to help pay for the care and
education of Thomas C, age 10, and
Melville C, age 8, but that they re
main in their mother's custody. Mrs.
Halsey had married Thomas C. Mill
Vey, who died March 4, 1912.
Two Sides to Story.
On November 10, last, the plaintiff
answered. H was set up that after
the divorce he gave to the defendant
more than half of the accumulations
of property and money owned by him,
that in his complaint he asked for the
custody of all the children and that he
wa even then willing to take them to
care for. Having since married, and
heimr the lather of a child by the sec
ond wife, he declared that it was all
c could do to support the in. as he
was ;i eomrnon laborer ami his wage
we.c small. Also, it was set up that
it t' e time 'here was a ntort.::rc ot
!450 against his property.
Sliortlv afterwards the defendant re-
I
: plied to tins, ikvlarr.ig tile planum
!i .id alw ays compelled his children to
'u.vk. that he had neer provided the
! proper care or a good home for them
laud that i: was t'irof.;h her dihcent
efforts that the expenses of their liv-
itu. wa ,lu.t.
Iniicc Galloway issued an order
whereby Halsey is to c,ive $10 per
month towards the support of the
children.

NOW BEING REALIZED
People are beginning to realize the
value of the country to the nation
according to Dr. Hillis, of Brooklyn.
4n one of our Eastern cities 94 per
cent of the leading citizens were
brought itu on a farm. Another has
discovered that "of a group of 100 rep
resentative men, commercial and pro
fessional, in Chicago, it was found
.hat 85 per cent were farm or village
bred. Eighty-five percent of the stu
dents in four colleges and seminaries
came from ihe country districts, while
upwards of 50 per cent of the men
and women mentioned in Who's Who
likewise arc from the country. Our
better American families will not ant
omrht not to stay where there arc
poor schools. The small, poor sehao!
is a threat against the future of Amer
ican civilization.
