THE MORNING OliEGOXIAS. THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1903. FEARS FORGED DEEDS Captain Lewis Love Said So in His Will. INSTRUMENT FILED YESTERDAY Had Heard Fraudulent Papers, Pnr - porting: to Bear His Signature, Were In Existence and Would Be. Produced After Death. The tvlll of Lewis Love, deceased, Is a unique document. Because several years ago Captain Love discovered that fraudu lent deed!" had been executed covering much of his valuable property, -which he had declared void and forged In the courts, he recites In his final Instrument a list of all the deeds which he ever signed, and also the fact that if any other deeds are extant bearing his name, as he has heard, they are forgeries, and not to be recog nized. Captain Love In his will protects his daughter, Mary C. Stafford, from any dis position she may have to share her por tion with her Tiusband, and also has taken cere that the wives of his sons, Fred D. and Green C. Love, do not obtain control of the property left to their husbands. The estate is large, valued at 5500,000, and has a speculative value of probably twice that sum. The will was filed yes terday, and a copy of the principal parts of the document Is as follows: X, Lewis Love, of Portland, helng of the age of SO years, and of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make and declare this as my last will and testament. In manner and form following. That is to say: I make, constitute and appoint T. T. Struble, Phllo Holbrook and H. C. Breeden executors, and request and di rect that no bond or undertaking be required of them as such, nor of them as trustees, to hold my cstato to a certain time as herein after mentioned. In order that my purpose and ownership of property shall be clearly understood, I hereby preface my devises and bequests as follows: I have made no deed to any person or persons, to any real or personal property, to take effect at or after my death. I made five deeds to my children and grandchildren September 21, 1804, which were executed and acknowledged before T. T. Struble. I made eight deeds to my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, December 28, ISO 8, which were also acknowledged before T. T. Struble. notary pub lic. Other than these mentioned deeds, I have made none since the' first-mentioned ones of date September 21, 1S01. I am the owner abso lute of the following real property In the city of Portland: Lot 142, block 117, city; lot 4. block 116, city; lot 3, block 10. city; N. lot 2, block 10. city; lot 8. block 111. city; S. lot 2, block city: the E. 75 feet of S.

I have never made a deed to any person or persons of any part or pleco of this property whatsoever. I also own 757 acres, more or less, of land la sections 10, 11, 14 and 15, T. 1 Jf., It. 1 E. A portion of the land Is outside and a por tion inside the city limits of Portland. 1 have made no deed to any of this acreage to any person or persons at any time, excepting for Columbia cemetery. It Is my purpose to will at this time all of my property, personal, real and mixed, to my legal heirs In the same proportion as the law would convey the same to them in the absence of any will by me, reserving only the final place where my wife la now burled, and a strip of land two Ceet In width adjacent thereto on west, north and east of said burial spot, and I hereby set aside said burial place and said two feet of land adjacent thereto, forever as a resting place or burial spot for my wife and myself. Said burial place adjoins Columbia cemetery. My will Is, and I direct that my estate be divided Into six shares or parts of equal value, to 2e disposed of In the following manner: First, to my son, Fred 1). Love, one of said chares cr parts. To my son. Green C. Love, one share or part. To my 6on, Lewis P. Love, one of said shares or parte. To my grandson, "William King, son of de ceased daughter, Mellnda J.

I direct that my executors shall proceed to administer upon my estate at once after my death, aad. having closed up my .'estate as ex ecutors that then my estate shall pass to them as trustees, to be held In trust for my said devisees until January 1, 1B0T. I direct that my trustees, T. T. Struble. Phllo Holbrook and H. C. Breeden, from time to time, as the receipts of the estate may ex ceed the expenditures, to 'distribute such por tion as can, In their Judgment, be safely dis tributed among the devisees- not more than twice a year. The final distribution Is to 'he made, If It can be agreed upon, by a distribution of the property; otherwise according- to shares. The personal property is to be sold and become a part of the- estate. The trustees are empowered to manage the proporty, collect rents, etc In conclusion the will provides: Reference to the fact In this will that I am he owner of and have made no deed to certain properties Is because I have been Informed re liably of one fraudulent deed to certain valu able property purporting to have been mada by me, and also have heard rumors of the ex istence) of another fraudulent deed. I pro nounce and declare any and all such deed or .deeds as fraudulent, and all claims of any per son or persons of having genuine deeds or title .to any of the property hereinbefore described as false and villlanous, and I hereby instruct my executors and trustees to contest any such claims to the uttermost, that my property may be kept Intact and saved for my lawful heirs end devisees. Tho -will Is dated January 5, 1899, and was witnessed by O. P. S. Plummer and Edward Holman. There is a codicil attached to the will which provides: I hereby decree and declare that the devise or legacy to my daughter, Mary C Stafford, In my last will shall only be a life estate, and shall be for her sole and separate use. Independent of her husband at all times during her life, and that at her death the said devise or legacy to her shall go to her children, share and share alike.

Clause No. 3 of the codicil provides that the legacy to Green C. Love shall be for his lifetime only, and separate and inde pendent of h.ls wife, and In case of his death without Issue living at the time of his death, the legacy will go to the re maining devisees In proportion as they hold of tho shares or parts under the will.

Dead carp, which 'col lected In swarms In the shallow water when alive, are appearing on the edges of the water as it goes down. The dead fish may . be seen along Union avenue toosite the Piedmont House, at the corner of Belmont street, and the pro prietor says that the odor Is very bad. As the water continues to fall the danger to health will continue to Increase. It Is a case for the attention of the Health Officer. The water Is falling rapidly, and in a short time the flats will be above the water. CAREER CUT SHORT. Collector lor Grocery Store Arrested for Ember rlement. All that money could make him was Louis Hannold, aged 20 years, for one night, but his career as a man of money was short Yesterday he was arrested In Kalama on a charge of embezzlement, and during the day was brought to Portland and locked In the city jaiL- Hannold was in the employ of Thumann & Glenger, proprietors of the University Park grocery store. Ho had been with them but 11 days, but was so attentive to business, and such an all-round good man that the firm reposed great confidence In him. A few days ago he was sent out with a number of bills to collect, and proved to be a good collector. He col lected bills that other men had failed to get a cent from, and they thought he was a man of great value. Their confidence in him did not last long, however, for on Tuesday night he did not show up after his day of collecting was over. The mem bers of the firm made Inquiry, not doubt ing their trusted agent, but fearing that he might have met with some accident. Great was their surprise to learn that he had planned to leave the country, and was spending their money right and left get ting ready for a trip. He had been heard of In St. Johns that night, and the twb proprietors of the store rushed to St. Juhns just in time to learn that he had left, saying that he was going to- Linnton. The grocerynien came to Portland and reported the matter at the police station, and Captain Moore decided to have him landed before he could get out of the country- He experienced some difficulty In getting Linnton over the 'phone, for It was then 11 o'clock, and the offices were closed. He finally managed to raise them, however. "Yes." they said, "the boy has been here during the evening. He was wait ing for the train, and was spending his money freely. The train has just gone, and he went with It." Kalama was the next place that the Captain thought of, and ho hurriedly called up Kalama. Fortune favored him again, and he got an answer just as the operator was leaving. A Deputy Sheriff was called and given a description of the boy. He met the train, but did not And the prisoner. Hannold had suspected that there might be a search party out after him, and decided that Goble was a better place to stop, anyway. At Goble, how ever, he was unable to get accommoda tions, and went on to Kalama, arriving there in the morning. He was promptly placed under arrest and word wired to Portland. Detective Hartman was sent after him today. "I would have been safe in another day," h said to the officer as they came back to Portland. "Today I would have taken the train for Astoria, and from there I would have gone on a ship to San Fran cisco." When searched he had $40 on his per son. The members of the firm say that they have already found where $75 -was collected and not turned In, and they do not know how much more he may have embezzled. The entire amount was spent In one night of revelry. SMALL BOY SHOT. Sammle Llnd Wounded by Careless Marksman. "I'm shot," cried little Sammle Llnd, aged 14, and a- resident of Alblna, as he rushed into the police station yesterday. He had been shot through the arm, and, contrary to the ways of most grown peo ple, he. was more concerned In finding the careless boy who had discharged the shot than he was in dressing his wound. Captain Grltzmacher at once examined the wound and found that it was not seri ous. The bullet had entered the- flesh of his forearm below the elbow, and had made only a flesh wound. Dr. Zan was summoned to dress the injury, and po licemen were sent -out to And the boy who had been so careless as to discharge a loaded weapon In the city limits. "I was riding my bicycle along Sacra mento street, said the boy in telling tho story, "when I heard a shot, and suddenly became conscious of a pain In my arm. I looked down and it was bleeding. I got off the wheel and Tolled up my sleeve to find that I had been hit by the bullet. It was a 22-calIber and had lodged under the skin, after piercing my arm. I dug It out," and he produced the leaden missile as evidence of his statement. "I have not the least suspicion as to who fired the shot," said he. "I thought at once that It was fortunate some one had not been killed by such carelessness, and looked around, but could see no one." The police were yesterday unable to find who had discharged the shot, but were of the opinion that it had been acci dental. The boy said that he knew of fro one that would want to shoot at him. DROWNED IN COLUMBIA. Dairyman Wno Conld Xot Swim Taken With. Cramps. "While bathing in the Columbia yesterday Adolph Shoense, who has been renting the dairy farm of F. S. Scott, near Woodlawn, was taken with a cramp and drowned. The only man that saw him was a Swede, who could not speak the English language, and little could be learned of the acci dent. Until late last night the body had not been recovered, but a vigorous search was being made. Shoense was a man about 30 years of age. and was well known In this commu nity. He had rented the farm from Scott for some, time, and was doing well In the milk business. Yesterday afternoon he and one of his countrymen decided that It was too warm to work, and went to the river for a bath.' Neither could swim, and while he was In water nearly to his neck Shoense was taken with a cramp and could not etand on his feet. He drowned before the eyes of his companion, who was powerless to save him. Coroner Flnley was called to the scene, but was unable to And the body. Hugh Grady, the grap pler. was "called about midnight and a sys tematic search was started. RUSSIA STOLE A MARCH London Traveler Gives His Views on Manchmrlan Situation. W." Chalmers Stoddart, a Britisher of London, was In the city yesterday on his way to California. Mr. Stoddart has been seven times around the world. "At Johan nesburg, South Africa," said he. "I saw great quantities of flour labeled 'Port land.' I have been curious to see your city, and now that I hare seen It I un derstand why your flour Is so good." As to Britain's troubles In the Orient, Mr. Stoddart declared that Russia had 'taken advantage of his country during the Boer War. "If we had not been busy in South Africa," he declared. "Russia would not have been so bold In Manchuria." Mr. Stoddart Is on a lecture tour of the United States In the Interest of various transportation companies, among "them be ing the Union Castle line of Royal Mall steamers from London to South Africa, the Great Western Railway of England, the Beaver Royal Mall line from Liverpool to Montreal, the Canadian Pacific and the Southern Pacific.

ACCUSES THE CHIEF Captain Parker Says Hunt Deceived Him. HIS PROMISES FULL OF GUILE "I'm Yonr Friend,' Sold Chief, to Parker "He's Incompetent," Was His .Boost ,o Police Committee. Chief st Police Hunt Is charged with duplicity by E. E. Parker, who re cently passed the civil service examina tions for Captain, but was not ap pointed. "The Chief professed that he was my friend, and would help me to get the appointment," said Mr. Parker, "but only used the professed friendship as a means to find out what I was doing and thwart my plans. He Is dishonest and has played me a trick that no man of character would resort to. I think that people who come In contact with him should know his character and be able to look out for themselves." Captain Parker then related the details of his campaign for the appointment as follows: "I have a number of friends who In terviewed members of the Executive Board In my behalf. In no case did they find any opposition and I felt sure that I would be retained If I could pass the examination. A few days before the ap pointments were to be made the Chief visited my home, professedly to advise me as to the course I should take, but as I have since learned, for the purpose of ingratiating himself Into the confi dence of my wife, to learn If possible my plans and be able to meet them. "He talked to my wife for some time, telling her that he had made me a police officer and had made me a Captain. He told her that he was my friend and that he would stand by me until the last. My wife told him that she did not know what I had done, and he asked her" to call mo from my sleep so that he could have a talk with me. He said he did not want to leave anything undone, and wished to find out what steps I had taken. "When I came into the room he re peated the story of friendship, and asked me what I had done to assure my appointment. He said that he would give me his support and advised me to visit the members of the Board personally. I told him that I already had their promises and did not have any reason to doubt them. The last words that he said when he left my house were, 'You can count on my friendship. We have been friends for years and I will do all that I can to help you.' "I have since learned that it was through the Chief that I was defeated. He told the members of the Board that I was not competent to fill the position, and made a strong talk against me." "Are you sure that this Is the case?" the Captain was asked. "I have found out In a way that can not be mistaken," remarked Captain Parker. "I was very much surprised to know that I had not been appointed, af ter the assurance of the members of the Board, and as I felt, the strong support of the Chief. I .knew that It was over, but wanted to know how It happened that I was dropped. With a friend I interviewed Mr. Slchel and asked him why he had opposed me. He assured me that he had not opposed me and asked me how I stood with tho Chief. I told him of the Chief's assurance of friendship. He then said that It was through the Chief and him alone that I was dropped. " 'Chief Hunt talked against you said Mr. Slchel. 'He said that you were not competent to fill the office, and that you did not command the respect of your men. He said that you had not the good Judgment in cases of emergency that a captain of the police should have. The members of the Board were favorable to you as far, as I know, but wo thought that the Chief ought to know those of his men who are competent and those who are not.' "I do not hesitate to tell of this to the public," said Captain Parker, as he fin ished his narrative. "Such dishonesty and duplicity are not In the character of a 'man and I think that people should know what sort of a man is at the head of tho police department." Policeman Fones Reinstated. Policeman L. C. Fones, who was sus pended from duty about ten' days ago for being Implicated in the robbery of the P. Johnson Milling Company, and for giving his attention to the plant to the neglect of his other duties, was yes terday reinstated, but Chief of Police Hunt was instructed to reprimand him for his actions. "In looking Into the case," read the re port of the board, "we are of the opin ion that the officer had no criminal intent in taking the dishes, and that he did not neglect his duty knowingly. Gross ignor ance of the duties and liberties of a po lice officer were displayed by him, and we recommend that he be reprimanded and loss his pay for the time that he was suspended." AFRAID OF MAKING WILLS John Rlckard, Wealthy Resident of Cor-rnllls, Gives Away Property. John Rlckard, an old resident of Cor vallis, yesterday deeded a large farm each, to his two sons, Bay and Roy Rlck ard. One farm, known as the Hill farm, contains 1000 acres and the other, known as the prairie farm, is also extensive. The first farm Is valued at about $25,000, and the prairie farmt which goes to Roy, at about $20,000. To make Roy'8 share of the division of the property equal, his father gave him $5000 cash- Mr. Rlckard also deeded his wife a farm of 150 acres near Corvallls, and half a block of land in the town of Corvallls. A fine residence Is to be erected on the latter place, work upon, which has already been begun. Mr. Rlckard Is 70 years of age, and concluded to dispose of his property before his death.

The revelations of corruption that are being made by the St. Louis and ole uounty grand juries are enougn cause every decent nnd honest citizen to blush for tho honor of his state. It does not need Indictments, or trials, or convic tions, or penitentiary garbs, to comince the people of what is now plainly ,ap parent that those whom they have chosen to represent them In the Legis lature have- been bought like sheep, and that corruption has flaunted Itself with a brazenness almost Incredible. That there has been crookedness In tho Legislature, especially In the Sena torial end of It, has "been long believed. but It was not dreamed that it prevailed to the extent that has been developed. The Democratic party cannot afford to leave any stone unturned to bring these culprits to justice.
