City Retail Lumber Co. An
swers Complaint,
SAY IT IS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS
Salt Brought Agrainat Alleged Trnst
Is TJeclarea Y t Attorney to .
Bo Incompetent Court Tafce
Hatter Under Advisement.
;
la tho suit of VT. . Jealdris against
Xnxnan. Poulsen & Co., North Pacific
dumber Company and others, comprising
the City Retail Lumber Company, a mo
tion that the complaint be made more
definite was argued yesterday before
Judge Frazer.
The attorney for the defense wants Jen
kins to specify particularly In -what man
ner be has been discriminated against by
the alleged lumber combine; -what con
tracts he has lost; -what contracts be has
puttered loss on because of the acts of
the City Retail Lumber Company; what
the prices -were before July. 1S02, and
?rtiat the prices have been since that are
alleged to have been unreasonable and ex
cessive. Specific allegations were asked
concerning many other things set forth
In the complaint. Counsel Insisted that
Jenkins must show a personal and pri
vate relation that is affected differing
from that of the general public He must
enow that he is affected and discriminated
against differently to 300 other contract
ors. Continuing, the attorney said: "He
cays his business Is ruined; that he has
iour or five contracts ho cannot complete;
and In another place that he has been re
fused lumber altogether; also that he Is
charged more than members of the Mas
ter Builders Association, because he em
ploys union labor."
Commenting on all these allegations,
counsel asserted that they were entitled
to particulars, so as to know what to
meet. The attorney wanted to know the
amount of lumber Jenkins had purchased,
and what particular building he Is en
gaged In constructing; what ho paid for
lumber In July, 1902, and what he pays
now. Many other specific allegations
were demanded; and the assertion was
made that Jenkins must show a particu
lar injury within the purview of the law
to be entitled to maintain a suit at all.
Counsel for Jenkins argued that It was
sufficient for his client to show a gen
eral Injury to his contracting business.
He alleged that ho had to charge cus
tomers more because prices were arbi
trarily advanced, and consequently lost
business. The ultimate fact that prices
were unreasonable was sufficient. Jen
kins alleged that the defendants sold only
through one -corporation, tho City Retail
Lumber Company: the prices were fixed
by themselves, were within their own
knowledge, and did not have to be stated
in the complaint. The same was true as
to what lumber was bought. The defend
ants knew what they had sold him, and
he could not buy anywhere else.
The attorney argued that the members
of the Master Builders' Association were
granted a rebate on lumber purchased
from the combine, and, therefore, could
underbid Jenkins on contracts. It could
be proved by dozens of witnesses that the
Master Builders receive 5 per cent rebate
every six months from the City Retail
Lumber Company on all lumber pur
chased. "The injury continues," counsel said,
"so long as Jenkins Tefuses to Join their
association and employ such men as they
dictate. The lumber mills have taken the
part of the Master Builders against union
men. and this contractor has suffered.
Various other points were made in sup
port of the sufficiency of the complaint,
and Judge Frazer took the matter under
advisement.
FLED WITH THE CHILDREN.
"Winifred Leppere Carries Them
From IVllwnnkee.
Winifred Leppere. accompanied by her
husband, C. A. Leppere, and Edith and
Olive 'Wiersum. two children by a former
marriage, appeared before Judge Cleland
yesterday afternoon to oppose an applica
tion for tho custody of the children filed
by their aunt, Nellie "vVIer.sum. Miss
"Wiersum came here from Milwaukee.
Wis., bearing with her power of attorney
from Henry Wiersum. the father of Edith
and Olive. ana filed a petition for a writ
of habeas corpus demanding that the
mother produce and surrender the two
little girls, who are aged 9 and 7 years,
respectively. Mrs. Leppere declines to
give up the children, and has engaged At
torney George "W. Joseph to defend the
caee. Mr. Joseph was caught In the
tralnwreck at Latourell Sunday, and had
not got back to Portland yesterday after
noon, so Attorney Waldemar S-ton pre
sented the matter to the court, explaining
the unavoidable absence of Attorney Jo
seph and asking for a continuance of the
hearing until "Wednesday morning, which
was granted.
Alexander Bernstein, counsel for the pe
titioner, consented to the postponement
with the understanding that Mr. and Mrs.
Leppere would promise not to remove the
children toeyond the Jurisdiction of the
court.
Mr. Seton assured tho court that there
was no danger at all of their being taken
away. Mr. Leppere- is employed by the
"Western Union Telegraph Company, and
owns his own home at Mount Tabor. The
children wore brought Into court to show
good faith, and the mother and stepfather
are willing to meet the case.
The petition filed by Nellie "Wiersum re
cites that Winifred Leppere, formerly
"Winifred Wiersum, was granted a di
vorce from Henry Wiersum on March 17.
1902. She was granted $15 per month ali
mony for the support of the children dur
ing their minority, and was to take them
to her home. On August 6. 1902, this decree
was amended to the effect that the pay
ment of alimony was to cease, and the
father was granted the custody of the
children on Saturday and Sunday, ex
cept If they were sick, and during school
vacation. It was decreed that the mother
should reside in Milwaukee. In the No
vember following, the decree was agala
modified to give the father the absolute
care of the children. Soon afterward Mrs.
Leppero came to Portland with her off
f.pring. and it is charged in the petition
that in so doing she is guilty of con
Urapt. because she disobeyed the order
i f the Milwaukee court and carried the
iildrcn "beyond dts Jurisdiction.
Counsel for Mrs. Leppere will doubtless
- the point that the court here has no
1 "lotion in the matter. The little girls
veil dressed, and have every oppear
- of th best of care.
BOTH WANT THE MONEY.
Metker and "Wife of Alva. Hollovray
Qnarrel About His Insurance.
The Independent Order of Lions yester
day filed an interpleader suit against Mrs.
Xerner Holloway. mother of Alva Hollo
way, and Mrs. Tenny Holloway. who was
his wife, to have tho court determine who
shall receive SKK) funeral benefits, and a
pension of S3) per month for a period of
four yeans. Alva Holloway died in Los
Angeles on January 20, 1903. The original
beneficiary certificate taken out by him
was executed In favor of his mother, and
on January 12, 1903, Holloway undertook
to hive tho certificate changed In favor of
his Kifc. Tenny Holloway. The- mother,
Mrs. Kcrnoy Holloway. contends that the
certificate was not regularly signed or
revoked at all. and that she is entitled to
receive the money. Tho wife .disputes
this right. The society is perfectly willing
to pay, but is unable to settle the con
troversy between the contestants, and
consequently' asks the court to do so.
Long & Sweek appear as attorneys for
the MaintlE.
Recently Mrs. Tcnny Holloway cued
tho order to recover on the beneficiary
certificate. Attorney Long states that the
Lions never denied the liability, and sug
gested that the disputants get together
and compromise. As this was not done,
the only remedy Is to have a legal adjudi
cation, which will be brought about as
soon as possible.
AWARDED BIG DAMAGES.
Mining: Company Mast Pay an Em
ploye for BroUen Hip.
A verdict for $9000 damages was returned
in the Federal Court yesterday by the
Jiiry in the case of Charles P. Jones
against the Bunker Hill Mining & Con
centrating Company. Jcnes sued for 520,-
000 damages on account of Injuries sus
tained by five tons of ore falling upon
him. His leg was broken near the hip
joint, and he testified that the injuries he
received caused atrophy of the nerves.
Jones is a miner, and is a man of Intelli
gence. His statement of the ciuse of the
accident was convincing. He asserted
that the company in the floor above where
he was employed mined beyond the safe
limit, and drilled a hole downward, with
the result that the rock fell from under
neath, and struck him where he was in
tho chamber below. He said that after
the accident. In coming up he saw the
upper chamber and observed what had
taken place.
Tho defense was that the fall of rock,
was not brought about in this manner nor
from the place designated by Jones, but
was occasioned' by Jones drilling into dan
gerous rock, and not working where ne
was stationed by the shift boss, and that
Jones himself was entirely at fault. The
Jury was out but a short time. Judge
O'Day, of Portland, and Fred Miller, of
Spokane, appeared as attorneys for Jones.

GETTING READY TO OPEN
Booking Agent of Empire Theater
Arrives.
Charles H. Brown, who will have charge
of the performances booked for the new
Empire Theater in Portlana, and tho
other houses of the Northwestern Vaude
ville Company's circuit. Is In tho city.
Mr. Brown has his headquarters in San
Francisco, but will remain here until
after the opening of the amusement tem
ple at Twelfth and Morrison streets, on
Monday night next.
"From the night that the Empire
opens," said Mr. Brown yesterday, "Port
land will be on an equal footing with San
Francisco and other large cities as far
as high-class vaudeville goes. The' at
tractions we have booked for the local
theater are among the best In the busi
ress'and are of a class that has .never yet
been sent through the Northwest. Our
people aro coming from the East, and
some of them will appear In Portland for
the first time on the Coast, playing the
engagement here before proceeding to
San Francisco."
The chief reason assigned by Mr. Brown
for this Invasion of the Northwest by the
stars of the vaudeville firmanent Is the
growth of the country.
"Of course." he said, "It would not even
now be possible to book such perform
ances as we wilj have, for Portland and
ether cities on the circuit, were It not
for the practical combination we have ef
fected between the two big California cir
cuits, the Orpheum and Groiiman's, and
the Norttiwtstern Company. But the peo
ple In control of the Southern circuits be
lieve that the cities lying north of San
Francisco will support a line of first-class
vaudeville houEes. and accordingly the
present company was organized, in con
junction with the local theatrical man
agers. Calvin Helllg and George L. Baker.
the latter of whom will manage the Em
pire.
"Tho opening bill of the Empire will
be ao excellent one, and different to any
thing seen here In the pist. Four of the
acts will arrive here within the next few
days, and two of them have already come.
Tho opening bill will consist of nine fea
tures, and there will be one performance
every night and three matinees a week.
"We should know by this time what the
public wants in t;e way of vaudeville
The promoters of the Northwestern Com
pany have been In the business for years,
and between us we have' handled every
big act that has come to the Paclflo
Coast. Our salary list will be the larg
ett, Avlth the exception cf the Orpheum,
of any house on the Coast, and it Is
pric that tells the tale. High-priced ner-
forn-ers must be high class, or else man
agers will not pay the big salaries.
"Before long we will offer all our per
formers an engagement of 20 weeks. Wc
are at present payingvall railroad fares
and baggage charges, so that good per-
iormers in tne isast iofc nothing by com
ing to the Coast except the actual time
spent in traveling."
Mr. Brown is the "Western booking
agent for the Grauman circuit, as well as
for tho new company, and is also interest
ed in the Orpheum. These concerns also
employ a booking agent who has head
quarters in Chicago, but Mr. Brown is in
charge of the talent after It arrives on
the Coast. He sees that the weekly bill
at each theater is so arranged that tho
acts, do not conflict. From Portland Mr.
Brown goes to Seattle, where the com
pany is to open a large Summer -resort
known as the Empire Gardens. This will
plso contain a vaudeville theater, which
win constitute part of the circuit.
"WILL PUT COMPANY OX ROAD.
