more conspicuous than Cupid; lucre
more prominent than love.
Into it, in glaring lines, is woven the
world-old question of woman's rights.
1t is replete with the dramatic strug
giles of a woman for equality, if not
supremacy. 1t echoes with a cry that
has blasted a million homes-whether
in martyrdom or madness-the cry of
the wife who is not content with 1.-The
dolls house." but who longs to reign in
her own sphere, independent of the
husband of whom she may accept
money, but with whom she has little
else in common--the cry of the wife
who says IT am my own master-my
way shall be my own"
According to Mayr, the wife in this
instance is too much "a modern wom-
an" She spent large sums of money,
he alleges, in voice and musical train
ing. She was devotee of Theosophy,
New Thought and other up-to-date
cults, osophies and isms.
The wife admits her artistic tenn

condemns it, bitterly. She declares, in
substance, he SIS a creature of COM
mercialism." He admits it, cheerfully
In her complaint she charges neglect.
In his answer he admits with pride
that his days were given to money
making; yet he adds that he gave her
large sums; that he paid her bills be-
sides; that he was loving husband
and so on, to the point of separation.
He admits that under pressure of
provocation he sometimes spoke cross
ly, or may have reprimanded her.

as daily attentions were concerned, she

The wife followed him to Los Ange-
les, she says, after he had sent her a
check for $3.50 which she could not get
cashed Afterward, he sent for her to
cali at the office he had opened in the
Citizens National Bank building.
There, according to the wife, she
caught an eaveSdropper concealed by
her husband in the closet.
In turn, as the husband would leave
it to be inferred. he was justified in his
actions by her conduct. A hailstorm.
in South Dakota, figures in his COM
plant. According to the husband, this
hailstorm caused the wife to seek shell
ter with Musician Calm in a hotel
where he alleges they were unduly in
innate.
Since coming to Los Angeles, SAYS
the husband, she has been intimate
also with Editor Critics of Everyman.
She has always preferred the company
of other men to his own, or to his
home.
On both sides there are hundreds of
little complaints and ross-complaints;
hundreds of charges and episodes cited
which reveal the infelicity of their mar
ried life.
Incompatability, perhaps, would be
the best charge; but there is no desire
on the part of the husband to pay her
alimony, so the case will be threshed
out, possibly, to the last straw.
Meanwhile, the child is branded with
shame by the charges of the husband,
and Joseph Calm, he says, has fed to

MINISTER DRAWS TWENTY
YEARS SALARY IN ADVANCE
Growing Scandal In Portugal Brought
Out by Publication of Names
of Nobility Guilty of
Illegal Acts

LISBON, July 1.-THE browning
scandal of the Portuguese panaman
has been brought out by the pupllca-
ton of long list of names OF lnnuen-
tial government officers, generals, court
dignitaries and members of the nooll-
ity, who, like the late King Carlos, re-
ceived illegal advances from the state
treasury.
According to the newspapers, Gems,
Cruva, Costa and Lopez each received
$4,000. The Portuguese minister 10
Picking, who was recalled, drew twenty
years salary in advance. The total
of these illegal payments reached sew
eral million dollars. The cabinet in
trigues here continue, although crisis
has been averted by the clever tactics
of Senior Castro, leader of the Regen-
erationists.
One branch of the Regenerationists
was trying to GUST the Progresslstsi
who divide the government with them,
by exposing Finance Minister Espre-
geira.
At this stage Castro turned the
tables by furnishing the newspapers
with information showing that all Pro-
gressist ministers of finance who have
held office since 1890 also were guilty
of the misuse of public funds.

union for the members over 70 years of
age and they ranged from that age. to
"a years. There are forty women mem
bers of this church over 10 years of
age, but only about half were able to
be present yesterday.
The old people, many of whom were
accompanied by friends or relatives,
looked forward TO their own special
day with much enjoyment and yester-
day afternoon were present, hale and
nearly, to prove DIR. Osler in the
wrong.
1t was a day of "reminiscences and
quiet jollification among the old peo-
pie, many of whom said they were
growing younger every day and in
sisted on being called over 70 years
young.
PIaymates Reunited
The affair yesterday also served in
reuniting two childhood playmates,
who had been attending the same
church for some years and had a casual
acquaintance, little dreaming that they
had played together as little girls.
The event smacked almost of ro-
nance, and much delighted the old
people. 1t occurred as they were put
ting on their hats and wraps prepara-
tory for leaving. A few words, remi-
niscent of Ohio, brought out the fact
that two of their number had lived in
the same town in the Buckeye state,
and when Mrs. Rankin calculated: 81

Kerlin followed in the same surprised,

apart in early girlhood and neither
recognized the other under her mar

An interesting program was rendered
during the afternoon, composed prin-
cipally of old time songs and read

lections. Prof. B. p. Stout rendered
several old-time songs and in the

choruses the old people joined with
quavering and trembling voices, but
not lacking in fervor, when THE Old
Time Religion" and other olden fav-
orites were sung, the pleasure of the
guests was manifested in the spirit of
early days in keeping time with hands
and feet with the music.
Miss Helyn Henry, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Henry, gave a reading, "A
Tale of the Airly Days"
Rev. Mr.. Henry spoke in a cheerful
vein and recited poem appropriate to
the occasion.
Oldest Guest
Mrs. r. B. Allen, "a years of age, was
the oldest guest and has been an all
most constant attendant of the First
Baptist church for the past sixteen
years. She recited an original poem
composed for the event yesterday. Mrs.
Mary Schelton was the next oldest,
aged 50 years.
Mrs Anna Hobbs, aged 70 years, is
the wife of the first pastor of the First
church. Rev. Mr.. Hobbs organized
the church in 1874.

WIFE TOO MODERN
LOVE HAS FLOWN
SENSATIONS ARE PROMISED IN
MAYR DIVORCE SUIT
ciaIism, While He Says She
Goes to Extremes in
Cults and Isms

Complaints and cross-complaints,
charges and counter-charges, mixed in
with little snap and ginger and the
old, old story of loveless marriage and
domestic purgatory, disgracefully in
volving a pretty brown-eyed baby girl,
marked the beginning of the Walter A.
Mayr divorce case in department four
of the superior court yesterday.
Mrs. Ann Eta Mayr began action for
divorce and alimony against her hus-
band, who is a wealthy real estate
man of Los Angeles, over year ago,
following the couples separation in
Chicago, May. 1906.
In her complaint and amendments
Mrs. Mayr charges her husband with
violent temper, abuse, non-support,
and in other respects of being an I'M
companionable consort. The husband
accuses her of infidelity, wanton waste,
cruelty to the child, which he alleges
is not his own, and misconduct in
general unbecoming a wife.
Joseph Calm, a noted musician of
Omaha, and James Critics, editor of
Everyman, a liberal publication at La
Canada, are named in Mayr's answer
indefinitely as correspondents. Mayr
says he has every reason to believe
she was guilty of misconduct with each
of these men, but that the knowledge

the last sixty days preceding the filing
of his cross-complaint." His charges
are in no wise specific in regard to this
feature of his allegations.
Complaints Read
But little was done yesterday beyond
the reading of the complaints, answers
and cross-complaints, which had bare
ly concluded at o'clock, when adj
journment was taken until Tuesday at
2 o'clock p. M, the court stating that
th5 case could then be given Tuesday
afternoon and all of Wednesday, by
which time it ought to be concluded,
although the fight will be strenuous on
both sides.
Aside from the prominence of the
parties involved and its sensational
features, the Mayr trial is of especial
psychological interest. 1t presents an
old but unsolved problem, with which
many an Ibsen, Pinero and Bernard
Shaw have struggled their way to fame
though they have given the world no
practical solution or remedy.
