Husband Made
Threats On Her
Life Says Wife

Charging that he threatened to
kill her if she interferred with his
love affairs with other women,
Mrs. Leah Armstrong filed COM
plant for divorce from her hus-
band, Elmer A. Armstrong, en-
ployed by the Oregon Electric, in
the circuit court today.
Mrs. Armstrong states that her
husband was in the habit of brag-
ging to her of his attractiveness
to other members of her sex, and
that he often told her how he was
infatuated with particular ones,
and that it would also be impossi-
BILE for him to love her any more.
The complaint goes further and
states that he armed himself with
a revolver and threatened to shoot
her on one occasion while he was
apparently under the influence of
liquor.
The couple was married in
1915 and have no children. They
have been residents of Salem since
their marriage.

OF Steamship
Charged With Blame for
Collision, DENY Guilt

Seattle, Wash, April 10
Captain Harry Marden, pilot Of
the steamer Governor, and Arne
Hage, third mate, today pleaded
not guilty to charges of inatten-
tton to duty in connection with
the sinking of the big liner off
Port Townsend, Wash, April 1
with the loss of eight lives. They
will be placed on trial before the
local board Of the federal steam
boat inspection service next

Entire blame for the collision
with the freighter West Hart
land, which caused the sinking of
the passenger ship, was placed on
Marden, Hage and Second Mate
Ernest Kellenberger in the report
of the board which investigated
the accident. Kellenberger who
is at present at sea, is expected to
enter his plea as soon as he
reaches port.
While the report of the inves-
tigating board exonerated officers
of the West Hartland of any
blame for the collision, 1t was
learned today that Captain Will
liam Fisher, supervising inspector
for the steamboat inspection serv-
ice in this district, has undertake
en- further study of the facts to
determine whether charges should
also be placed against them. The
local board ruled that as the West
Hartland had the right of way as
the ships approached each other,
"all that needed be done was to
do nothing" Captain Fisher said
the ruling would be reviewed by
higher authority.
