Steel Corporation, admitted yesterday that Dir
reconcTabIe differences" existed between him
self and Mrs. Corey, which, probably had led
her to seek a divorce. Mrs. Corey at present is
at Reno, New. where she is establishing a legal
residence. She has declined to discuss the di-
vorce question.
Mr.. Corey said Ettle concerning the actress
whose name has reen coupled with his own in
giving the reasons for Mrs. Corey's seeking
divorce. He had known for long time this
woman he said, but any suggestion of impro-
prfety in their acquaintance would be great
injustice.
A formal statement was issued by MI Corey
as follows:
The subject matter of recent publications per
sonal to myself and some others is of such a
painful character that I have hesitated to say
anything in regard to it, and have perhaps been
unjust to myself and to the press in declining to
admit the whole truth when questioned How

decided to make a statement which covers the
situation. 7 10 this more TO protect the good

WIDOW FEARS SHE
WILL LOSE HOME
READY TO GIVE UP ALL BUT
OWN RESIDENCE
ASKS COURT TO INTERVENE
Mrs. Carrie E. Houser of Whittier Is
Willing to Lose Entire Property
Except House She and Her
Husband Built

Rather than have her home, to buy
which she had toiled many years, taken
from her, Mrs. Carrie e. Houser, widow
of the late John w. Houser Of Whittier,
yesterday appeared before Judge Gibbs
in the probate department of the super
ior court and consented to have almost
the entire acreage of her ranch turned
into town lots to satisfy. the demands
of her husbands children, who insisted
on having the property, including the
home sold at auction and divided.
IT did not know what 1 was doing
pointed administrator when that duty
should have been mine," said the wo-
man yesterday in testifying Of the
events leading up to the proposed sale
of her home. my husband was taken
ill one afternoon while at work on our
walnut ranch, near Whittier. He was
brought to the house and hurried to
the hospital but failed to survive an
operation and then, after five years of
toll together, just when we had our
home and land paid for and were about
to begin to reap the results, my hus-
band was taken from me.
"I was stunned with grief and did
not know what I was doing. 1 did not
care to live and 1 did not want to hear
about the estate.
Fears Loss of Her Home
"Mr. Cole, who had been an intimate
friend of my husband, came to me- I
did not know my rights in the case so
1 consented to his administering on my
property. He has refused me an al
lowance and 1 want the estate taken
out of his hands before he can sell it
and leave me without a home"
Mrs. Houser later withdrew the re-
quest for the revoking of the letters of
administration issued to Cole, but she
insisted on keeping her home.
'It is the home I have been working
for for years." she said, land I could
not bear to leave it. 1t is my only
means of support. With my portion of
land and the home, I can raise chickens
and manage to live, but without the
home l will be unable to get along"
1t was then proposed to cut up the
rest of the ten acres, comprising one
of the most valuable orchards in the
Whittier neighborhood and turn the
land into town lots for the benefit of the
heirs. Mrs. Houser consented to this
mutilation of her property with the
understanding that the ranch house
should be given to her.
The case was taken under advise
ment

Following is a form of petition sent
by the combined churches of Pendle-
ton last night, to every member of
the Umatilla county delegation in the
Legislature. concerning the local op-
ton law:
I'VE, the pastors of Pendleton. in
behalf of our respective congrega-
tions. most respectfully represent TO
the legislative assembly of the state
of Oregon, that our respective congre-
cations, unanimously protest AGAINST
the Legislative assembly in any man.
ner repeating, amending, or chang
ing the local option law as adopted
and put into operation by the people
of Oregon; and the members of said
congregations do hereby unanimously
and most earnestly petition their
senators and representatives to vote
against any proposed law, intended
to repeal, amend or change said law,
and in particular against any pro-
posed law intended to take away
from the state courts, the Jurisdiction
to try offenders of intoxicating liquor
laws and confer the same upon
municipal courts, for the reason that
any such repeal. amendment, or
change would be against the will of
the people as most solemnly and pos
itively expressed through their ballots
of the last two general elections"
The membership of the churches
represented on the petition COM
prises about 1900 residents of PEN
dleton, including many of the heavy
taxpayers of the county. 1t is part
of concerted action on part of the
temperance people of Oregon to pro-
test against the repeal or amendment
of the local option law, and will be
vigorously prosecuted.
Like petitions are now pouring into
the desks of the members of the leg
islature by the score. from all over
Oregon, and before the local option
law is called up for final discussion
and passage it is thought the express
sion of sentiment from all parts of
Oregon will be strong enough to con-
vince the Legislature that it is not
safe to tamper with the peoples law,
as adopted by them at the recent
election.
The saloon and liquor interests are
not idle, and in many instances hav-
ing enlisted even national banks on |
their side, messages having been re-
ceived from bank cashiers, asking the |
legislature to look out for the busl- |
ness interests" OF the state, this being
an inspired slogan used by the liquor
interests during the recent campaign. |

A change in the basis of freight
rates on wood from Blue mountain
points to this city, has been made by
the o. r. & N, and while the COM
pany will realize full returns for the
service rendered, it is not thought
that the change will effect prices of
wood to the consumer.
The present wood rates were made
when the cars were small and no
change has ever before been made
in the basis of the rates, while the
size of cars has constantly increased.
The company fixed the rates sever
al years ago, as follows: All 34-foot
box cars, IL cords 36-foot box cars,
IA cords, and furniture cars and other
large, closed cars, Is cords, and fixed
the price at S1.25 per cord, from Blue
mountain points to this city.
No agent of the company could
charge more for cars of these desig-
mated capacities, although he knew
they carried more wood than desig-
mated in the rate sheet for cars of the
given sizes.
Tne result mas been that as the
cars were widened and made higher,
II has been possible to ship as many
as II cords i'm a car designed as an
1l-cord car, and the shippers have
been securing free transportation on
a large amount of excess wood load
ed into new and larger cars, which
came under the old regulation.
This new basis of freight rates on
wood now specifies that agents shall
measure the actual load on every car,
and charge the shipper for the
amount of wood each car contains,
without regard to its capacity.
1t means simply that the company
wants pay for what wood 1t hauls.
The rate has not been raised. nor
changed in any way, but the COM
pany insists that shippers shall not
be donated any further car space. 1t
is change to meet the increased
capacity of the new rolling stock now
everywhere in use. II should not eff
feet the price Of wood to the consum- |
er, as the actual rate is not changed |
In any way. The new regulation |
takes effect February 8.
