NOTED BEAUTY SETTLES
ROW WITH RICH BREWER
Disclosures in Court Show They
Had Lived Together

LONDON, June luxurious reVela-
tions were made this week in Justice
Darlings court of the relations which
had existed between Mrs. Maud Sands,
a famous beauty, who now resides in
Davies street, Berkeley square, and
Charles f. Young, a greWer Of WandS,
worth, against whom she brought an
action for the recovery of $515, alleged
to be due under covenant of deed
dated February 2, 1905, by which she
said she was to receive $500 year.
Alternately, she CLAIMED the sum un-
der an oral agreement.
The case came to an abrupt termina-
ton after the opening statement OF
Mr.. Shearman, K. c., on behalf of the
plaintiff, counsel announcing that
settlement had been arrived at be-
tween the parties. In acquiescing In
this arrangement the judge made the
comment:
Il very much regret that these two
people could not have settled their
most unedifying disputes without max
ing them public"
Prominent counsel appeared for both
sides and Lord Tiverton held a watch
ing brief. The defendants case was
that he denied that it was made for
an illegal consideration, and further
that it had been destroyed and was
never acted upon. He also denied the
existence of an oral agreement
On behalf of Mrs. Sands, Mr.. Shear
man said that the action was one that
very rarely came before the courts.
Mrs. Sands was claiming an allowance
under the deed and the question was
whether the provisions of that deed
were in force. Mrs. Sands had lived
with Mr.. Young for a considerable
number of years. 1t being desired that
they should separate they went to
solicitor and an arrangement was
made. Great friendship had existed
and the defendant desired to make her
an allowance and the deed was exc
cuted, which provided that the plaintiff
should have $500 a year for life. Mr..
Young, through his counsel alleged
that the deed was waste paper because
it was tainted by the character of the
consideration. --<

COMMITTEE
NOT READY
TO REPORT
INSTEAD OF THE REPORT OF

SUBMITTED, AN ORDINANCE
WAS FRAMED FOR VOTING Up
ON THE QUESTION.

The committee appointed to wait
on the Salem Water company to Sc
cure from it better bid on its plant
prior to the submission of it's pur-
chase to the voters was scheduled ia
report to the city council last even
ing. In fact it has been scheduled
to report for several meetings Of
that body, but everything was evi-
IDENTIFY not in readiness and the coun-
eli listened instead to an ordinance
on the subject and which was intro
duced for the purpose of paving the
way for the submission of the ques-
tion of purchasing the plant or in
stallation of a gravity system TO the
voters. The ordinance was prepared
by the firm of McNary & McNary
and it's purpose is to provide a
method for the use of the initiative
and referendum which will be more
expeditions than that which is pre-
scribed by the state statue.
Accompanying the ordinance.
which was read and passed, was the
communication from the law firm
explaining the method pursued un-
der the statutes and that proposed
under the ordinance. The commun-
ication was as follows:
Section IL of article XI of the
af fatn M To
the cities power to provide their own
method of carrying into effect the
initiative and referendum powers.
The legislature of 1907 passed an
act providing a method for carrying
into effect the initiative and referen-
DUN powers to all cities and towns,
which have not or may not provide
by ordinance the manner of exercis-
ing those powers.
"The manner provided by said
act Of the legislature for submitting
measures TO the people is exceeding
ly cumbersome and expensive. In
order to save cost to the city and
time in submitting measures to ths
people for their consideration, we
are of the opinion that It would be
for the best interests OF the city to
pass the ordinance herewith submit
ted. If this ordinance Is enacted It
will enable the city to hold an cleo
tion within 80 days after the pas
sage Of an ordinance calling for the
same. Under the state law, the min
imum time would be 60 days. Un-
der the proposed ordinance It will
not be necessary for the city to print
the proposed charter amendments,
together with arguments fayoring
and opposing the same, and mailing
the publication to each legal voter
residing I'm the city. In lieu there
Of this ordinance provides that the
full text Of the charter amendment
shall be published in a newspaper
circulated and published in Salem.
for five consecutive editions. There
are other minor changes IN the ordi-
nance which will have the effect to
simplify the manner Of holding cleo.
