pear after an absence of seven
years and during which time she
thought him dead, Mrs. May Hill
Van Horn now seeks n divorce
from her second husband, Fred
Van Horn, the complaint stating
that matter fully having been
filed in the circuit court this

Mrs. Van Horn states in her
complaint that in 1912 she mar

serted her after three years OF
married life. After inquiries as to
his whereabouts, Hills friends
told her that he was dead. and
she felt at liberty TO marry Van
Horn, then in Eureka, California,
in 1917.
On December Is, 1921, Hill
showed up after an absence OF
seven years and had not been con-
siderate enough to get a divorce
during that time.
Mrs. Van Horn now asks the
court to declare her marriage to
Van Horn as void from the be-
ginning.
Van Horn filed a demurrer to
the case this morning stating that
the case was not stated sufficient
/ ly clear in his wife's complaint.

Mardi Gras On
Opening Night

FIRST nighters, some 1000 of
them who participated in the
nights of fun that opened at the
Elks home last night, youch for
the success of the three nights
entertainment. The Mardi Gras
introduction to the Salem public
went across in a very big way.
From o'clock until time to
close, both floors of the Elks club
were crowded to capacity.
AS gloom chaser of dull care
the Entertainment scored a full
100 per cent. Eight vaudeville
acts including Scotch and Irish
songs, clever dancing, piano
sketches, violin numbers, etc.,
won unstinted and hearty praise.
While the big crowds naturally
follow ed the performers in the
main auditorium, there was plen-
ty of entertainment in the other
parts Of the building.
The class of show is OF real
high ealibre, so much better than
was expected and the visitors were
always ready to shower applause
on every act that appeared. The
general opinions heard around
the building all seemed to say that
the Mardi Gras is the biggest af-
fair ever pulled off in Salem and
great credit is due to Messrs. Wal
lace and Stegge Ior the class OF
show offered.
With the large crowd of last
night and the way the entire show
was enjoyed by all present, 1t
points to the same big crowds to-
night and tomorrow night. The
entertainers have promised com
plete change of numbers and they
will be ON their toes to give the
best they have got. Messrs. Wal
lace and Stegge will be heard to
hum the popular tune Of "Ain't
We Cot Fun?" as they go about
their regular business today. They
have every right to feel good as
they have lived up to their fore
cast. ITO give Salem a real big
Mardi Gras."

Provisional
Respite Giiver,
Auto Owners

While this is the last day of
grace for delinquent motorists
those who have acted in good faith
in an effort to provide their auto
mobile with set Of the 1922 Ii
cense plates and are able to pro-
duce evidence of this good faith
need have no fear of the strong
arm of the law, according to Sab
A. Kozer, secretary of state. and
nominal head of the states traf-
fic law enforcement department.
While absence of the yellow
and black license plates Of the
current year may cause the motor
ist some embarrassment in eX-
planning the situation and might
result in a short delay in a hur-
ried trip should an over Jealous
traffic officials make 1T point to
investigate, possession Of evidence
to prove that his application for
the new license plates has been
filed with the secretary Of state
will be sufficient to save the mo-
torist from prosecution for viola
tion of the traffic law.
To date slightly more than Co.
900 sets of license plates have act
ually been sent out to owners OF
motor vehicles. Between $4,000
and 10000 applications--some OF
them filed since January 1-are
vet to be filled. Until such time
as the automobile registration de-
partment is able to dig out from
under an clean it's desk of all ap-
plactions, it will not be practical
to start the rigid enforcement OF
the law requiring license plates
of the current year on motor We
hicles, Secretary of State ihozer
explains. License plates are now
going out at the rate of between
1900 and 1000 day so that will
probably be February l before the
traffic officials are unleashed on
the trail of the delinquent motor
lists, but after the word is given
motorists who still flaunt the oIo
green tags of 1921 had better be-
ware, Kozer warns.

He Sought To
Buy Athletes
- am n ~@ M NJ IN n NA%F ~ ~

Pendleton, Or, Jan. 20.--De-
nial that he had approached west
ern college athletes in an effort to
induce them to enter Purdue uni
versity was reiterated today by
Richard Hanley, coach Of the
Pendleton high school football
team. He declared also that he
had never made a salary offer to
any football player, but had in
formed them, on the request Of
Coach Dietz, that facilities for
making their living expenses In
work outside the university were
good.
He branded as absurd" charges
that he had been furnished any
amount like $4,000 for paying the
expenses of players to Lafayette,
and said that the only money he
received from Dietz was for meet
ing his own personal expenses
over the northwest.
He explained an allegation that
he had placed $500 to the account
of an Everett, Wash, high school
student by saying that he was un-
able to collect the money at an
Everett bank when he received it
there, due to some irregularity in
transmission, and that he had in
structed the bank to transfer it to
the account of friend because he
wished to leave Everett before the
money would be available.
Hanley denied specifically that
he had ever approached Abe Will
son, Walter Baily or his brother,
Myron Hanley, students at the
University Of Washington, with
offers to go to Purdue.

Hope is Abandoned.
Rome, Jan. 20.- (By Associ-
ated Press. AT 1890 o'clock to-
day it was stated that Pope Bene-
dict was in a dying condition.
Extra editions Of the newspa-
pers offered little hope regarding
Pope Benedict's chances for re-
covery. A great crowd began to
assemble in st. Peters to await
news from the Vatican.
The condition of the pope be-
came critical this morning. The
inflammation which had been con-
fined to the bronchial tubes had
extended to the right lung, respi-
ration becoming difficult. The
turn for the worse occurred In
the night and doctors were urg-
emily summoned.
Cardinal Giorgi, the apostolic
penitentiary, was summoned to
Pope Benedict's bedside at a. m,

prayer for the dying.
Asks Last Sacrament.
The eucharist was solemnly
carried to Pope Benedict at 1880
o'clock and in the presence of 13
cardinals the holy sacrament was
placed in the palatin chapel.
Prayers were said in the Catholic
schools. All business at the Vati-
can was suspended.
When the pope asked for the
last sacrament his attendants
sought to dissuade him, but he in
sisted upon receiving it, ''if only
to give good example," he said.

Rome, Jan. 20.-Pope Bene-
diets life hangs in the balance to-
day and fears were expressed al
the Vatican at noon that his holi-
ness was in a dying condition.
During the early hours OF this
morning, towards a. M, there
was sudden change for the
worse and the bronchial affection
from which his holiness had been
suffering for several days, spread
to his lungs.
Upon leaving the papal apart
ment, the cardinals who admin
istered extreme unction said the
pope's mind was perfectly clear
but that his condition was SO
grave that only a miracle could
save him.
The pope's physicians were in
consultation at the Vatican at an
early hour, and the morning bull
letin issued afterward, indicated
an extremely serious condition
DR.. Battistini, however, stated
then that while the condition OF
his holiness was grave, it was not
hopeless.
Prayers Are Said.
Meanwhile, prayers were being
said in all the churches and Cath
olic institutions of Rome, on be-
half Of his holiness, and great
crowds began to assemble in st
Peters.
Today's sudden change for the
worse in the pontiff's condition
seemed to have come as great
surprise, even to those who had
been observing him most closely
Last evening he received some
strengthening injections, and the
doctors then stated they were sat
isfied with his condition, express
ing hope that danger of an exten-
sion Of the Inflammation to the
lungs had passed and saying thai
the crisis appeared to be over
come.
One of the most disturbing con
ditions that developed early today
seemed to be passing away after IL
O'Clock this morning, as the pom
tiff was then able to expectorate
slightly. This aroused more hope
among the watchers, but towards
IL o'clock he became worse agair
and oxygen then was administer
ed.
Anxiety Undisguised.

of the apostolic palace; Monsig'
