ter of the late Governor and Senator

father Alexander H. Stephens, Judah
B. Benjamin, Mr.. Slidell and Mr.
+ Fombs, of Georgia, all leaders of the
Confederacy, were guests at the house
from to time. At the outbreak of the
Civil War her father was arrested by
by Federal authorities and imprisoned

all that a woman could do to help the
friends of the Confederacy. At the
close of the war her father moved his
family to Baltimore. They lived for
many years at the old Pratt residence,
on ST. Paul str Get, between Lexington
and Saratoga.

Gen. Murray Vandiver, Treasurer
of Maryland and chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee says The Sun can
rest assured that the Democratic party
will redeem every pledge. There is an

Want SMITHSON
Way down EAST
WORLDS CHAMPION HURDLER
NOW IN DEMAND AMONG THE
CRACK EASTERN ATHLETIC
CLUBS.

PORTLAND, March 5--Eastern
athletic clubs are trying their best
to get Forrest b. Smithson, now the
worlds champion hurdler, away
from the MuiLnomab Amateur Ath-
letic club of this city, says the Tele-
gram. The Igish-AmeriCan and Pas
time clubs have tried repeatedly to
get his release, ami Saturday the
New York Athletic club wired Mutt
nomah to send his release SO the
New York club could use him
against the Philadelphia club in II
dual meet to come off in a short
time E. e. Morgan, chairman OF
the outdoor athletic committee
wired back that Multnomah would
rot release him.
Worlds champions are so scarce
that the Eastern clubs will resort to
anything to get them. Smithson has
had every kind of attention shown
him from automobiles UP and down
in an endeavor to win him, but
President Sullivan of the A. A. U.
has refused to allow one of the clubs
to steal him. When he was regis
tered in the P N A. at the begin
ming of the year his card was sent
to him ny way of Mr.. Sullivan SO
the head of the organization could
see that Multnomah has clear
claim on him. Smithson has been
blamed for his running unattached
more than is coming to him. He
did so register in two meets, before
he knew that Multnomah wanted
him back.
Since then he declares he has en-
tered under Multnomah's name, al
though he was jobbed in one meet
and was put down as unattached
When he made his new worlds
record at Trenton, N. j., he is sup
posed to have run under the name
of Multnomah.
Smithson will probably not return
here this spring, as planned, He is
working in New York now and will
probably go fro mthere to the
Olympic games at London. He will
have many more meets in New York
than here, and will be able to keep
himself in better trim there, in adj
dition to saving the double trip
across the continent.

FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Frna p. White CHARGES Hus-
band With Desertion.

An action for divorce has been
fled in the district court by Emma
B. White against Harry D. White on
the grounds of desertion and lack of
support. The couple were married
in Oklahoma in 1903, and for the
past two years have been residents
of Idaho. The complaint alleges
that at times the defendant has
been the owner of a band of horses
and at all times has been in a posi-
ton to command good wages as a
bridge carpenter, but at no time has
he properly supported the plaintiff.
The complaint further alleges that
in July of last year the defendant
deserted the plaintiff, taking all OF
the community money, amounting to
$85 and afterwards wrote the plain
tiff for money and that the plaintiff
supplied $50, which represented her
individual earnings. The communi-
ty property consists of four horses
and the plaintiff seeks not only di
vorce, but also the title to the
horses.
