May CONTEST
HIS ACTION
FOR DIVORCE
MRS. DAVENPORT WIRES FOR A
COPY OF THE COMPLAINT IN
THE ACTION, AND THIS INDI.
Gates SHE WILL RESIST 1T.

Evidently in rush to secure a
copy Of the complaint of divorce
filed against her in the circuit court
here by Homer Davenport, the noted
cartoonist, his wife, Daisy Davenport
today telegraphed the county clerk
here from North Plains, New Jersey,
asking him to send her at once a cer-
tilted copy OF the complaint,
Davenport filed the complaint a
month or more ago. He alleges in
his complaint cruel and inhuman
treatment and says that 1t COM
menced within a short time after
they were married. The request by
the wife for a copy of the complaint
is taken as an indication that she
desires to resist the action.

HUNDREDS IN SALEM
SEND FLORAL TRIBUTES

The funeral of the late Frank w.
Benson, which took place at Roseburg
today, at 10 o'clock, was very largely
attended. He was not only one of
the most popular state officials who
has ever served the people of this
state, but he was a man loved for his
personality, and admired for his kind
ness of heart, and many charming
qualities as gentleman. No man
has ever passed out of public Ca
reer with more friends than the late
secretary of state. In his long strug-
gle with disease he had the sympa-
thy of thousands of people, who
watched with painful interest every
movement of his life, and thousands
Of prayers were offered up for his
recovery The funeral services at
Roseburg, which was always his home
In Oregon, were very impressive, and
there were never so many floral Of
ferings on such an occasion before,
In the history of the state. Flowers
were sent from everywhere, and there
must have been altogether over a
carload. The grave was lined and
covered, and it was impossible to find
conveyances to take them to the
cemetery. Practically all the flowers
that could be obtained at Salem were
bought by friends and sent to Rose
burg. The florists could have sold
twice as many. There were orders
Tor floral pieces, expensive and elab-
crate, that could not be filled.
Among the flowers that were sent
from the Capital City we're the fol-
Iowing: A large wreath from the
penitentiary employees. A large dis
play of carnations from Supt. Stein
er and asylum officials, A large mass
OF Gala lilies from the Salem lodge
OF Elks. A pillow of carnations and
lilies from the Railroad Commission,
A beautiful mass of carnations from
y. F. Griffith, A. E. Strang and Sher-
man w. Thompson. There we're
many individual offerings besides
from personal friends of the de-
ceased, and many more could not get
flowers to send as tokens of their af-
fection.

YOU SURELY
WILL REGRET
The DELAY
1T IS FORESIGHT, NOT HIND.
SIGHT THAT COUNTS, THAT is
IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD
INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS

More money has been made in real
estate than in any other form of in
vestment and investments are just as
good today as ever, better in fact
where a grade of improvements are
being installed than where the in
vestor has to take his chances with
what may be installed.
There is presented today to the
people of Salem a really rare oppor-
tunity to make money. Many of
them realize it and are taking advan-
tage of the opening by buying free
ly in what is very soon destined to
be the swell residence section of the
city. Many others realize it too but
are slow to act. The property in
question is Kingwood Park where a
great amount of money is being ex-
pended in class of improvements
that it would be impossible to beat.
Streets are being graded, wide ce-
ment walks are being laid, cement
curbs put in, parkways set to shade
trees and roses, shrubbery set out
on the lots, cluster lights will be
erected on the streets, water sys-
tenn is being installed and wires
strung for the service of lights. In
addition to this beautiful natural
park is being improved and has been
dedicated to the public. Several
handsome houses are under course
of construction and more are being
planned.
The thing that is going to make
Kingwood Park the great residence
section is the new railway bridge.
Plans are now before the War De-
partment at Washington, and upon
their return work will start upon the
supports of the structure and upon
completion an electric service will
be furnished Kingwood Park and
near by places. This will bring this
addition within a few moments of
the business center. Then the prices
on home sites in Kingwood Park will
be such as to make those who do not
invest now wish that they had used
their foresight.
The owners of the beauty spot of
Salem are not doing all this improve
ment work without knowing what
they are about. 1t is very evident
fact to those who visit Kingwood
that it has a great future and if pros
pective buyers wait until that future
comes they will be compelled to pay
future prices instead of being able
to secure home sites at the prices
at which they are now offered.
All the improvements enumerated
above are included in the price OF
lots. These range from $275 to $3.50
The terms are 10 per cent of the pur-
chase price down and two per cent
each month thereafter until the
whole amount has been paid.
Bechtel & Bynon, agents for the
Capitol Trust company, owners OF
Kingwood Park have three autos in
which they are glad to show inter-
ested parties over the tract at any
time of day.
Outside capital to the amount OF
$4,000 is being spent on Kingwood
and Salem investors take no chance
whatever in putting in a few hum
dreds Of dollars on what is dead
sure thing.
Among the investors in this beauti-
full addition are some of the shrewd-
est buyers in Oregon. More than a
score Of Portland persons have in
vested and are loud in their praises
Of the way Kingwood is being i'm
proved.

Councilman Manning injected a
little ginger into the proceedings of
the council last evening when, after
Councilman Huckestein, in opposing
resolution directing the fire chief
to vacate the housekeeping rooms
maintained in the city hall, had stated
that it would bring about the chiefs
resignation, he declared that he
would just as soon have the chief
come in and resign anyway, as he
was of no particular value. When a
vote was being taken on amendments
to the resolution Mayor Lachmund,
in his sudden and characteristic man
ner, leaped into the arena and took a
vote with the rest Of thcm, with re-
suit that for a while confusion
reigned, and for moment or so there
was being made everything in the
way of motion, from one to lay on
the table to one to adjourn.
The resolution directed the water
company to vacate its quarters, and
the fire chief to vacate his house
keeping nooms. Councilman Hucke-
stein opposed the latter phase of it,
and made a motion to eliminate It,.
He asserted that the fire chief was
not receiving any too much pay now;
that the rooms were not suitable for
Office rooms, and that it would have
the effect of ceusing the chief to re-
sign.
Let Him Go, Says Manning.
Councilman DurbiI took hand in
the controversy, and after he had
concluded, Councilman Manning ad-
dressed the mayor:
"If the fire chief wants to resign,
then let him come in here and re-
sign" he declared, "and may be we
can get some one in his place who
will be Of value to us. do not be-
lieve that he is any good as fire
chief, anyhow. l have noticed dur
ing the winter that everything was
frozen up, hydrants and everything
else, the chief sitting calmly in his
quarters smoking corncob pipe. Let

Alleging, among other things, that
upon one occasion her husband want
ed her to catch turkey, which he
had won at turkey shoot, and that
when she declined he became angry,
and said "she was getting to be too
id nice to do anything" Mrs, Car
rie Palmer, through Attorney Inman,
has commenced a suit for divorce in
the circuit court against George Pal
mer on the grounds of cruel and in
human treatment.
She says that they were married
in the city in 1892, and that since
then they have lived most of the time
on farm 10 miles fRom here. The
husband has generally neglected her,
she says-would come to town, leave
her with friends, and take her home
when he desired-it often being late
at night.

ENHANCEMENT Ensues.

When a vote on the amendment
was taken Mayor Lachmund declared
1t lost. A call for a division of the
vote was made, and 1t disclosed 1t to
be seven for the amendment and six
against. The mayor voted with the
six, and that made it tie. Questioned
as to his right to vote, save in cases
of tie, he asserted he had a right
whenever it might change the result,
and when a motion to postpone the
matter was made he again voted with
the six, and tie was the result, and
it was declared lost.
Finally the original resolution was
voted upon, and it was defeated by a
vote of seven to six, the mayor not
voting this time. as he declared it
would not change the result.
Later in the evening a motion was
carried directing the water company
to vacate It's Offices in the city hall in

Fighting Last Night.

Fighting continued until 10 o'clock
last night and until o'clock this
morning there was desultory firing.
1t is believed that the main force. of
the rebels left about II o'clock and
small detachment of cavalry was
left behind to cover their retreat
Military authorities here were
dumbfounded today when they found
the town vacant. They could see
cnly on reason for evacuatiOn-a
shortage of ammunition.
At II O'Clock last night Colonel
Skunk was notified that the rebel Of
ficers wished to hold conference
with him. With other officers he met
them at the international line. In
the party were General Garcia, COM
mander-in-chief of the rebel force;
RED" Lopez, Colonel Camberos,
Colonel Rojas and Captain Arturo.
Refused To Leave Arms.
The rebel leaders were confronted
with the question of whether they
should give up to the federals and be
shot or surrender to the Americans
and be made prisoners Of war. Their
idea in seeking the conference was
to get the American officers to inter-
cede with the federals and gain the
latter's promise to observe the rules
Of civilized warfare in their treat
ment of prisoners Of war.
The United States army officers APP
parently acting under orders from
Washington, refused to discuss this
phase OF the situation. They Of
fered to accept the surrender
of the rebels to the United States
troops II they would lay down their
arms before crossing the line. This
the rebels refused to do They ad-
mitted that they had sufficient am
munition for only on volley and must
either surrender or run.
Federals In Possession.
Colonel Ronaldo Diaz' first act on
entering Aqua Prieta today was to
establish strong patrol of Yaqui
Indians along the international line.
They were given orders to permit no
one to pass, and they obeyed them
