HAMMOND INTERESTS
WITHDRAW FROM ROAD
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


PORTLAND, June IA B. Ham
mond has resigned as president of the
Corvallis and Eastern railroad. His
resignation was accepted at a meeting
of the directors in Albany, Ore, the
headquarters of the road, yesterday.
This signalizes the retirement of the
Hammond interests from the railroad
business in Oregon and means that the
recent purchase of the Corvallis and
Eastern by Hartman is now to be
openly avowed, although it has been
kept quiet up to this time.
The formal transfer of the property
will occur in about two weeks, it is
understood. when ]. P. OBrien, general
manager for the Hartman lines in
the northwest, will be made president
of the property.
The Corvallis and Eastern is expected
to be maintained as separate system,
retai1ing its name and separate man
agement, although 1t is a feeder for
the main line of the Southern, Pacific,
connecting with that road at Albany.
The road is 142 miles long, running
from Yaquina. on Yaquina bay, to
Idanh, in the foothills of the Cascades.
Hammond had mapped out the extern
sion of this road across central Ore
gon. 1t is not known whether the Har-
riman mana agement will follow out
these plans or not, but in view of the
fact that Hartman made the statement
recently in the east that no new terri
tory is to be invaded at present in the
interests Of economy, it is unlikely that
the road will be extended across the
state.

MINOR LOSES MONEY He
PAID ON AN AUTOMOBILE

Milton T. Clark, who, while minor
of IS years, bought thousand dollar
automobile and paid $500 down, can
not get back his money on the plea
that he was under age and had no
right to aenter into such an agreement.
A decision to that effect was rendered
yesterday by Judge Graham, in the suit
brought by Clark against the Pioneer
automobile company
Clark returned the automobile after
using it two months. When he filed
suit the company answered it with a
counter claim for damage and rental
for double the amount paid on the pur-
chase price.
Judge Graham. in his decision,
quoted a New York case in which the
court had held as follows:
Whenever it becomes necessary for an infant
to go into a court of equity to cancel his obli-
cations or regain the pledge given for their
performance. seeking equity. he must do equity,
of the property arising from its use is doing
nothing more.
Then comes the decision against the
automobile purchasing minor:
In view of the condition Of the machine at
the time 1t was returned by plaintiff and the
fact of his having had the use of it during the
time intervening between the purchase of the ma
chine and Its return, nearly months the court
ant for the reasonable Of the machine and
for the amount Of its deterioration which in
my Judgment would be the amount paid BY the
plaintif the purchase price.
