Testimony in Action of Laura
A. Reed Against J. R.
Reed Interesting.
HE REFUSED TO WORK
Would Lie in Bed and Eead While His
Wife Was Cooking Meals for Col
lege Students.
Holding that where a wife is com
pelled to furnish her husband with
smoking tobacco, cigars and candy, and
in return receives nothing but cruel and
inhuman treatment, and is refused by
the mule spouso the right to own a new
lint, unless sho earn tho money and pay
for it herself, Judge Galloway yester
day granted Mrs. Laura A. Reed an ab
oluto divorce from J. R. Heed.
According to Judge Galloway, the
fdnintiff in this case lias been nulijected
to treatment which, ho says, "should
have been recognized with a good, stout
tflub with plenty of muscle behind it."
In her testimony yestorday, Mrs.
Reed told Judge Galloway that she has
foeen compelled to make the living for
the family while the defendant lay in
1ed. She said that aftor she married
the defendant, he refused to work and
that Bhe earned tho money with which
to purchase cigars, tobacco and candy
for him. The witness also testified that
"the defendant would make no proteose
of buying her a new hat or even suggest
that she have one.
Pretty Hard to Get Rid Of.
"Didn't you know any bettor than
to allow a man to impose upon you in
that manner?" questioned Judge Gallo
way. "Why didn't you make him get
out and work and earn the money to
Ibuy his own cigars and candy'"
"Well," replied the plaintiff, "if I
had known what kind of a man ho was,
I should never have married him in tho
first place. A man is pretty hard to
get rid of, or I should not have associ
ated with my husband as long as I
have. ' '
"Now you listen," said Judgo Gallo
way. "I will grant you a divorce at
this time, but if over again you tako
unto yourself a man who compells you
to buy his cignrs and candy and othor
trifles and you again want a decree of
separation, don't como to this court, bo
cause you won't got it."
Mrs. liecd testified that "if sho ever
got tangled up in such a mess again it
would not bo her fault," and that Judgo
Galloway need not fear that she would
over get arried again as long as sho
lived.
Eead in Bod While She Worked.
Tho plaintiff's sister was called to
the Btand during the trial and testified
that the defendant would do nothing to
ward supporting the plaintiff and that
it was an absolute fact that Mrs. Reed
bought her husband sinftking materia!
and other trifles. The witness ilso tes
tified that while Mrs. Heed would earn
a living by cooking for collego students
the husband would lie in bed and road.
"Don't yon ever got mixed up with
inch ft man," advised tho court, when
the young witness hod completed her
testimony. "If you over get married,
1e sure yon get a man who can work
and will work, and don 't you dare ever
buy him smoking tobacco or cigars,
much less candy."
A general good laugh was had at tho
expense of Mrs. Heed when the case was
completed and the decision rendered,
but the latter took it all in good grace
and thanked tho court for his genoroui
advice and good judgment.

Orders.
united raise leased wins.
Seattle, Wash., June 27. Lazy hus
bands are getting powerful busy here
today, following the first "lazy hus
band' sentence imposed under the law
by Justice Fred C Brown, who sIbo hap
pens to be the father of the measure.
George Biggs, a chauffeur, drew first
fire under the new law, and will serve
182 days for King county, the sheriff
having received orders to put him to
work pulling stumps, mending county
fences, mowing the court house lawn,
or whatever other work there may be
around. Mrs. Biggs is to receive $1
a day during her husband 's service.
Riggs, it appears, was fairly industri
ous as a chauffonr, but fell flat when
it came to paying family bills.
Julius W. Kniapel, secretary of the
Oregon league to abolish capital pun
ishment, is down from Portland seeking
a reprieve at the hands of Governor
West, for Robert Morgan.
Morgan, who is but a youth, killed
his sweotheart, Virgie Hart, in a fit of
jealousy at Condon last November. He
was tried and convicted of murder in
the first degree, and received the death
ponalty.
Morgan's attornoy, F. H. Whitfield,
through the anti-capital punishment
leaguo, brought the case on appeal to
tho Bupreme court. The law requires
that in bringing an appeal all the briefs
and transcripts of the case must be
filed with the court within five days.
For some' reason Whitfield failed to do
this and the supreme court threw the
case out, which means that, unless a re
prieve is granted, Morgan must pay his
penalty.
Owing to tho youth of Morgan and
the default of his attorney, it is thought
probable that the governor will re
prieve Morgan.

attributed to Dr. Sims, former surgeon

and now a refugee in Honolulu, by
Walter J. McDougall, woll known news
paper cartoonist, who is here today
from a tour of the Orient.
McDougall says Dr. Sims told him
the Huerta-Diaz coup was planned and
sanctioned under the very eyes of Am
bassador Wilson and that Wilson fav
ored the overthrow of the Maderos be
cause he wanted to block Japan's ef
forts to got into Mexico. Dr. Sims said
the whole affair was a deep political
game of an international character and
that two nations secretly battled as to
which would have authority over Mex
ico. "Dr. Sims told me," said McDougall,
"that thousands of Japanose soldiers
were to be sent to this country in the
guise of farmers and colonists and that
they were to flock up and down the
west coast of Mexico anu along the
American border and uphold the Ma
