Hammer Divorce Suit

Tco MANY women friends and too lit
tie domesticity are assigned by Bertha
V. Hammer, in her answer to her hUs-
bands suit for divorce, as the princi-
Pal reasons for the couples marital
troubles.
Dee Hammer sought a separation
from His wife, after the Juvenile Court
had ordered him TO contribute to the
support of his children. had given them
into her custody, and ordered the hus-
hands father to keep his hands off the
family affairs. He submitted mum:
Der of charges. naming a correspondent.
In her answer, filed today i'm the equit, !,
branch of the District Supreme Court
Mrs. Hammer denied the accusations,
and retaliated with charges that bring
to light series OF rather trying cX-
periences for a young wife, if true.
Mrs. Hammer accuses her husband
OF being abusive and Quarrelsome, OF
remaining away from home frequently,
and keeping the company of other wom-
en-. She declares, he and his father,
Eurreputiously took the other child
from her, and kept her at the home of
Hammer senior.
The wife declares the husband s
father caused a great deal of the un-
happiness of the couple, by his officiuus
intermeddling, and that this was Sc
patent to the judge of the Juvenile
Court that the elder Hammer was di.
rected to cease harassing and worry
ing the wife and children under pGl.
atty of punishment for contempt.

0pINION IN FULL IN ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT CASES EVER RENDERED IN
THE HIGHEST COURT OF THIS STATE

by the county court that portion Of
the county embraced in the limits de-
fined by the proclamation is declared
to be a municipal corporation with
sundry powers, among which are the
issuance of bonds and the levy and
collection Of taxes.
Section eight provides in substance
that the power and authority given
to corporations organized under the
provisions of this act is vested in and
specially exercised by a board of
commissioners, five in number, each
of whom shall be a qualified voter
within the limits of said corporation.
Within 10 days after the issuance by
the county court of the proclamation
above mentioned, the governor shall
appoint a board Of five commission
ers, qualified as aforesaid, who are
required to meet at such place with
in the limits of said corporation as
the governor shall designate, on the
fifth day after the appointment, and
to organize as a board. The term Of
office Of commissioner shall be de-
termined by lot at the first meeting
of the board. Two shall hold office
until the 1st day of January next
following the succeeding general cleo
ton and the remaining three shall
hold office until the first day of Jan
uary following the second general
election. Afterwards they are regu-
larly elected for the term of four
years at the general elections.
Section ten reads thus: '"It is
hereby adjudged and declared that
existing conditions are such that this
is necessary for the immediate pre-
servation of the public peace, health
and safety; therefore, an emergency
is hereby declared to exist and this
act shall take effect and be in full
force and effect from and after Its
approval by the governor"
Without affirmatively approving ol
disappearing the act in question the
governor filed it in the office of thu
secretary of state February 12, 1909
The session of the legislative assem-
bly, at which the act was passed end

which plaintiffs complain, from th

election to be held within such pro-
posed district, to be held not less
than 40 days, or more than 60 days,
as such court shall determine" No
complaint is made anywhere in the
proceedings before us that the cleo
tion in question here was not held
more than one day, hence only this
passing notice will be given to that
point. The judges and clerks ap-
pointed by the county court for the
preceding general election are re-
quired to officiate in their respective
capacities at the special election thus
called. Again, in section three it is
required that "the polls shall be kept
open between the hours provided for
in cases of general elections and no
tice of the time of such special cleo
tion shall be posted in each polling
precinct in which such measure is to
be voted upon in like manner as
is provided for in cases of general
elections. The judges and clerks
shall return the canvass of the vote,
together with the ballots cast to the
county clerk of the county in which
the election is held, and on the sew
enth day after the election the coun-
ty court shall hold a special session
and proceed to canvass such vote
and if upon such canvass it appears
that a majority of the votes cast al
such special election have been cast
in favor of such incorporation, such
county court shall cause to be en-
tered upon the journal Of such court
a proclamation" according to a form
set out in said section.

the date of the proclamation made

The provisions of the statute al
ready noticed about time and place Of
organization are manifestly directory
in nature and effect and it is a sufi-
cient observance OF the law II these
requirements are substantially COM
piled with. The record shows sub
stantial compliance with the statute
in that respect and so far as the mere
organization of the board is concerned
after the appointment by the COVER
nor no ground Of complaint exists.

1t Is also urged In the complaint, In
the brief of the plaintiff and in argu-
ment that the act in question Is un-
constitutional, but that matter has al
ready been set at rest by the decision
Of this court In the case Of Straw v.
Harris, 54 Or. 424; 1OS Pac. TT.
Plaintiffs contend that section 10
OF the act already quoted, containing
the emergency clause, is insufficient
in point of law to give immediate
effect to the act which otherwise
would not be in force until 80 days
after the end Of the session of the
legislature which enacted the law.
Section 2S, article 4 Of the Oregon
constitution provides that mo act
shall take effect until 80 days from
the end OF the session at which the
same shall have been passed, except
in case of emergency; which emer-
gency shall be declared in the pre-
amble or in the body of the law"
This section was materially modified
by section 1 of the same article OF
the constitution as amended by the
plebiscite at the election Of June 2,
1902, so as to conflne the use Of the
emergency clause TO laws necessary
for the immediate preservation Of the
public peace, health or safety. The
argument of plaintiffs counsel on
this point is analogous to the rule Of
pleading requiring a statement Of
! facts from which a court may be
: able to draw a desired conclusion Of
, law. In such cases It is conceded to
be insufficient in point Of law merely
: to plead such conclusion without
stating the facts authorizing It.
} Counsel would apply this argument to
: the case in hand so as to require the
legislative assembly to set out in de-
= tail the ultimate facts It relied upon
, as authorizing the declaration of an
emergency in order that court
: called upon to construe the act may
I consider the facts as alleged by the
y legislative assembly,, not to call ir

and personal property subject to tax
alton within the boundaries of the
port, allege that defendants have ad-
vertised and are about to dispose Of
said bonds; that all this will consti-
tute a cloud on their title to their
said real property, and that they have
no plain. speedy or adequate remedy
at law.
The complaint concludes with
prayer that the defendants be per-
petually enjoined from making, exc
cutting, isuing or delivering any bond
or bonds whatsoever and from taking
any step or steps towards the assess
ment, levy and collection Of any tax
or taxes upon the plaintiffs real
property for any purpose whatever;
that the defendants be restrained
from acting as the Board Of Commits
sioners for the attempted Port Of
Coos Bay; that the bill, or port law
be declared unconstitutional and
void; that the defendants be held to
have no power or authority by virtue
of the proceedings referred to or by
virtue of said port law; that the pro-
ceedings had for the proposed Port
of Coos Bay be declared hull and
void; and for general relief, together
with costs and disbursements.
The answer consists Of sundry de-
malls so that as far as the pleadings
and findings ARE concerned the con-
test in the circuit court seems to have
been waged on the question Of the
regularity of the election Of April 49,
1909, considering the fact, as found by
the circuit court, that in every pre-
cinct some of the notices of election
46 in all out of $50, were not posted

tion of the law in question pro-
claiming and declaring that part OF
Coos county described in the original
petition to be duly and legally incor-
porated as a municipal corporation
under the corporate name of "The
Port of Coos Bay" The form of the
proclamation, too long to reproduce

ton Of Incorporating the port, a
statement Of the vote for and against

gon, in pursuance Of the proceedings

PENDANTS as commissioners of the
Port of Coos Bay designating Marsh

complaint charges that on May 10,
