DOROTHY DEV0RE ASKS
WRIT AGAINST MATHER
Film Actress Says Husband Re-
peatedly Tries to Prevent Her
Disposing of Property.

4lSpOSlAS VI Z
BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 15.-Dorothy
Devore, film actress, brought action
in Superior Court today for an in
junction to prevent her former hus-
band, A. w. Mather, wealthy Honolulu
importer, from suing her any more,
at least on one complaint.
Miss Devore said an appeal is now
pending before the State Supreme
Court on litigation for recovery Of
about $4,000 Mather lost to her in
the lower courts. Nevertheless, she
complained, Mather repeatedly has
tried to get injunctions to prevent her
from disposing of the property and has
fled and dismissed another suit such
as the one now on appeal.
Mather first sued on the contention
that he had given her the $4,000
under q property settlement only be-
cause she represented falsely that she
had been a dutiful wife and their
estrangement was his fault.

He handed Juliet the instru-
ment. cts McSpadden. He
says he's been phoning all over
for you."
She had not see McSpadden
since the disastrous evening at
her apartment, and this was the
first time she had heard from
him. Evidently he had not re"
covered from the shock because
his voice was still shaking.
miss Rankin really must
see you. It's important. I
wonder-would it be possible
for me to call upon you at home
this EVENING""
"I'm afraid not" said Juliet,
thinking quickly. It was moth"
ing against McSpadden-she
liked him-but one Of Mrs. Nc
Spadden's explosions was
enough. IT won't be home this
evening. I'm awfully sorry,
but"
'"Then, let me come up to
your office-or you come down
to my laboratory. I really must
see you alone. I wouldn't bother
you at all unless it was so ter
ribly important"
He sounded very much in
anguish of soul but Juliet
doubted that anything he could
have to say could possibly be
terribly important-poor chap.
''All right" she said, "I'll see
you in my office in five
minutes"
Won Guerdon was looking at
her with upraised brow and a
smile that contrived to appear
satanic.
''McSpadden too, eh? You've
got the poor chap humping into
the stone wall too? Don't you
spare any man at all?"
He spoke with malicious
humor glinting in his intelligent
eyes.
Juliet wrinkled up her nose at
him.
"Weu, seem to be sparing
you" she shipped, and was
gone.

Mrs. McSpadden: Oh, she's
fri ghtfully jealous-exces'

"And I'm the object of her
suspicions?" queried Juliet,
tightening up inside.
'But the injustice of it, that's
what 7 abhor," the distraught
little chemist rushed on. MRS.
McSpadden's been in a ferment
ever since that night. And now
she asserts my reaction is a
plain indication of guilt. You
see, I've avoided talking to
her-scarecly said a word and
hardly touched nouriShment.
The terrible things she says to
me continuously-it'S like being
bathed in acid. She claims I'm
in love with you, and you-oh,
I can't say it!''
"Take a chance and try"
urged Juliet.
"She says you-are breaking
up-our home. She's in ter
rifle state, I can assure you,
Miss Rankin. And when I
think what I've brought on
you-that it's all my fault, I
feel like plunging into the
river"
Juliet was amused but she
had a couple Of other emotions.
One was pity for McSpadden
and the other was bliStering
contempt for wives of that sort.

fix it up, huh? I mean, aftt
When the girl had gone up
stairs into Won Guerdon's
charge it seemed to Juliet that
her palatial office was somehow
discordant and unpleasant.
The thought Of O'Hara-and
Katie Schmidt-had a bitter
tang.
It was utterly and ridi.
culously impossible, she as
sured herself firmly, that she
could feel the faintest vibration
of jealousy about O'Hara. And
certainly not in connection
with that little warped thing
who had just gone upstairs.
Such an idea was so obnoxious
that she promptly threw it out
of her head-and wondered
why it kept trying to get in
again.
Then Juliet did a foolish thing.
just to prove to herself, abso-
lutely, that she couldn't pos
Sibly, be jealous (the absurdity
of it'd she got O'EIara on the
telephone.
Remember that little Katie
Schmidt"
"Never heard of her"
"Oh yes you did. The one
with the nose and the eyes,"
O'Hara still didn't know who
she was talking about and told
her so unpleasantly. Since
Juliet had elected him from her
life he had kept aloof, trying
conscientiously to keep her out
of his mind. The only way he
knew to accomplish this was by
q determined sullenness.
"Your little friend, the one
you brought to Won Guerdon to
have beautified"
"Oh-sure. Sure I remember
that kid. What about her?"
well, she's come back with
three thousand dollars in cash
to get rebuilt, poor little thing.
And she asked very pointedly
about you-thinks you're per-
fectly marvellous and wants me
to fix it up for her after Won
Guerdon's finished"
Juliet realized she was being
q bit catty and scratchy and
niggling-but there it was.
Curiously, it gave her a queer
quirk of pleasure to badger
O'Hara this way.
That's fine" responded
O'Hara. "Don't make any mis-
take about it-Katie's a friend
Of mine all right. I liked her
from the start
1T seems to have been mu-
tual."
"That's right. Thanks for
letting me know. I'll look in
and see her after awhile"
When she hung up, Juliet de-
cided O'Hara was something Of
q fool. Proba ab1y-just for
spite-he'd pay some silly atten-
ton to poor Katie and the kid
would take him seriously. Men!
And Won Guerdon was as ir-
ritating to Juliet as O'Hara, but
in a different way. He had a
casual attitude towards Katie
Schmidt as though she were a
NANCY young alley cat de-
livered to him to experiment
upon.
"What have you done with
her?" Juliet asked him a little
later in his office.
Won Guerdon put down a
shining steel instrument he
had been polishing and looked
utterly baffled at her question.
"Who?"
"The new patient-Katie
Schmidt. Are you going to
operate today?"
"Oh, that one! I should say
not She won't be ready until
tomorrow; the nurses are get
ting her used to clean sheets
and SOAP"
Juliet's finely arched brows
contracted.
Don't you have any human
feeling at all for the girl?"
"A little perhaps-not much"
he admitted carelessly. I'll
operate as Scrupulously as
though she were my own sister.
What more do you expect? Am
I supposed to rhapsodize over
her, too? No, it seems I'm a
one woman man."
Before Juliet could answer,
his desk phone rang.

Disappointment settled like cloud of dust on Katles

Oh gee I'd counted him, too. You amt crazy about

"I most certainly not, returned Juliet vigorously

Of jackson Hole.
But recent droughts in that area
have forced the ranchers to put out
their cattle on the old range Of the
elk. Consequently forage for the elk
has been depleted.
Now, in order at least partially to
relieve the ranchers Of elk depreda-
tions, and TO prevent the annual
threat of destruction Of the herd
through starvation and disease, the
Government has been forced to adopt
the practice each year of Winter
feeding of hay. As result, the elk
are fast being degraded to the unin-
spring status of domestic animals.
They are straying about for subsistence
like barnyard stock.
This difficulty could be quickly
done away with, the Biological Sur
vey suggests, II the elk could be
turned into Craze on some $4,000

and the eros ventre River on the
north of 4 str present ranges.

NATURALLY, following this. since
Mr.. jefferson needed money. and
Congress needed a library, bargain
was made, the former, on September
/, 1914, parted with his library Of
$500 volumes for s23,950. which, &C
cording to a statement made at the
time afforded, in part, way to pro-
vide much-needed funds for the over
ly generous former President. who
was then much in debt, largely caused
by his liberalities and by his theoreti-
cal agricultural operations carried on
at Monticello and through unsuccess-
full business experiments.
But misfortune, or bad manage
ment. seems to have followed him to
the end. for on the very day of his
death, July 4, 1826-the fiftieth ami
versary of the signing of the Declara-
ton of ndependence-efforts were
being made in Washington to raise
money for his assistance, of which an
old news item says:
"On the conclusion of the cere-
monies Hon. James Barbour, Secre-
tary of War, made an earnest and
feeling appeal to the audience in be-
half of the venerable patriot and
statesman Thomas Jefferson. whose
situation in the evening of life spent
for his country was such as claimed
the sympathy of every American, and
concluded by inviting the citizens of
Washington to show by their acts the
esteem in which they held that great
man.
'Mr. Barbour was followed by the
Hon. Richard Rush. Secretary OF the
Treasury, who. in few neat and i'm
pressive remarks, expressed his entire
concurrence in the views which had
been presented by Mr.. Barbour and
urged the obligation of relieving Mr..
jefferson under his then) present
painful embarrassments.
"a subscription was then opened,
when a large number of gentlemen,
among whom were the President, Vice
President and others, advanced and
subscribed their names for that pur-
pose.
"The procession then reformed and
escorted the President to the Execu-
tive Mansion, where, after paying
their respects to the President, they
were dismissed.
About the time these proceedings
were being inaugurated the illustrious
Jefferson breathed his last. having ex-
pired at 10 minutes before l o'clock
pm! The venerable and illustrious
John Adams deceased on the same
day"
A FTER the burning of Washing
ton. and President Madison
thought it sufficiently safe to return
to the White House. he called an
extra session of Congress to meet Sep
