THE WOMAN TEMPTED
ANE He DID MARRY"
Supreme Court Passes On
Loves Young Dream After
the Dreamer AWOke

Sowing wild oats in the December of
life was not very profitable for John
b. Coleman, who, himself an inmate Of
the Fredericka Home for the Aged at
San Diego, married one of the inmates
because he liked to have her talk and
read and do other kindnesses for him,
as his case in the Oregon courts to have
la marriage contract declared void and
incidentally to secure the cancellation
of an assignment to the defendant of
an agreement made by the plaintiff
with third person for the sale of real
property upon which was due the sum
of $1,000 of the purchase price, has
shown.
The whole affair started in San
Diego after he had entered the home
for the aged at the age of 10 years. The
defendant, his wife, is aged 73 years,
and when he entered the home she was
already there This home is not a char
table institution and inmates must pro-
vide a sum on entrance and a sum
monthly for maintenance. John Cole
man was receiving between 5000 and
5000 a month from his properties and
contracts.
Nothing to Divide
After he had been in the institution
six months he married the woman in
the case, after he had settled litigation
with another woman with whom he is
declared to have had relations. Shortly

In these days when everybody
talks recruiting, from Roosevelt to
Billy Sunday. it's interesting to
realize that not only are armies and
navies and churches filled by discreet
advertising, but there was once a
town that was supplied with settlers
in the same up to date way.
The traveller to Liverpool saves a
whole day by going to Halifax in
stead of New York. Therefore the
tidy little capital of Nova Scotia is
an asset in war time, considering the
way the U-boats sing the flynn of
Hate. Considering also that Canada
is supplying 100000 of the very best
troops our Allies have.
And Halifax was the town that
was recruited.
This is the story. The Earl of
Halifax, head of the Lords Commits
sioners of Trade and Commerce in
1749, received a request from Boston
that a fortified settlement be placed
somewhere between it and the
French at Quebec who had an un-
comfortable habit of raiding south
ward,

troll was advised yesterday by Attor-
ney General Brown that before the
board of control can issue the bonds 10
meet the provisions of the shackelford
act, it is necessary for the state high
way commission to pass resolution
asking definitely that the board issue
the bonds. At the time ii is decided 10
issue the bonds the attorney general
said il would be necessary for all three
members TO be present. II is expected
that the highway commission will pass
their resolution as soon as possible so
there viii be no delay when the matter
comes up before the board of control.

with the crown council, comprising the
autocratic ring of officials controlling
Germany.
Assails the Leaders.
In the meantime there were uncon-
firmed reports that Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman and Vice Chancellor Helf-
ferich had resigned from the German
ministry. According to reports received
from Berlin via Switzerland, Hollweg,
after refusing acquiscence in the social
list plan of peace without annexations,
continued:
"Germany must press the war with
all possible strength. The fatherland
has faced great perils and overcome
them. Our enemies have faced great
Ferils. We must fight to achieve vic
tory.'
The chancellor bitterly assailed the
patriotism of Herr Erzberger, the cen
trist leader, who on Saturday precipi-
tated the whole political crisis in Ger
many by suddenly announcing his de-
termination not to support the govern
ment further until Hollweg detailed
the empire s peace aims and announced
immediate fulfillment of electoral re-
forms pledges.

after his marriage, he made gifts to his
wife and later decided to take them
back. The court states that his latent
eupidity was aroused and overbalanced
his waning conscience, and that then he
sought to have the marriage made void.
The case was tried before Judge
Skipworth in Lane county, and the
court found for him. She appealed to
the supreme court and this morning Nn
opinion was rendered stating that as
the plaintiff was dead the marriage re-
lation was ended and that there was
nothing in the record iustifying the
court in caneeling the assignment OF
the contract. The decree of the circuit
court is reversed and the suit dismissed,
Justices Mcbride, Bean and Benson con
CURED.
In his pleadings Coleman asserts that
at the time of his marriage he was
weakened mentally by his age and phys
zeal infirmities so that he did not UNI
derstand the consequences of contract
ing marriage He says he was imposed
upon and unduely influenced. He says
the woman wormed herself into his con
fidence with pretended friendship.
She says the transfer of property
made by him were made after marriage
and voluntarily on his part. She de-
clares the marriage was at his earnest
solicitations.
The court finds that the evidence
reveals clear preponderance showing
the marriage was sought by Coleman
knowingly and Understandings, and
that he. was fully aware of the nature
of the contract into which he entered.
The court says there was nothing to
show fraud or undue influence.
Sentence Affirmed
Chief Justice Moore affirmed the
sentence of the Clackamas county cir
cult court when it found Julius Wilbur
guilty of selling intoxicating liquor. He
appealed to the supreme court on the
ground that the Indictment was not suf
ficient in that it did not directly spec
ify the act of selling the liquor. This
ease arose out of selling liquor at the
Friars club.
The couBt said in his opinion that
'' Where, however, the offense is not
directed against any particular individ- 1
ual but against the community, such
as the illegal sale Of Intoxicating liquor,
the legislature may prescribe the form
of the indictment and dispense with /
