"Will Testify to HIkIi Moral Character or "Mysterious Billy Smith" and Harry White. testimony as to tho respectability of "Mysterious- Billy Smith" and Harry White, and 'their competency to keep a Tailor fcoardlfcg-bouse, "will be taken in the State Circuit Cpurt on "Tuesday. The statute provides that the board of com missioners for licensing sailor boarding houses shall take the application of any person, firm or corporation for a sailor boarcttng-houee, and upon satisfactory' evi dence being presented to them of the re spectability and competency of the appli cant and the suitableness of his or their accommodations, and of his or their com pliance -with all the provisions of this act, Bhall issue a license for a, year. The commissioners shall have the right to re ject any application for a license as they may deem advisable. The commissioners having refused "Whito and Smith a license, the question Is to be tried out. The board of commissioners In answer to the cult of "White and Smith to .compel the issuance of a license to them, yester day filed an answer denying that the two men are respectable or competent to carry on the business of a sailor boarding-house In this state or elsewhere. This raises the Issue, and witnesses Trill be called upon- the subject. The board In Its answer also set forth that they established a rule that whoever applied for a llcisnse should be recom mended by firms Interested In shipping or a. majority of them, and that the board told White and Smith that if they could obtain the consent of those interested in shipping they would issue the license. Brolth and White replied that they were unable toget the recommendation of the shipping interests or any part thereof, so the 'board declined to grant the license. Tho attorney for tho petitioners de murred to this part of te answer on the ground that It does not state facts to constitute an answer, or constitute a valid excuse for the board not Issuing, the license. . Counsel said th board had created a monopoly of the sailor boarding-house business by granting a license only to one firm. A long argument on legal points fol lowed before Judges Sears, Cleland and George. Henry E. McGinn, attorney for the commissioners, read many authorities showing that even if there was a monop y oly it was justified under the. law In cases . involving the morals and safety of the community, which he contended was the case in this instance. The court, however, concluded to sus tain the demurrer and Mr. McGinn will file an amended answer. The opposing counsel argued that White and Smith were entitled to a license. They mada their application, offered to pay the license fee of $250, and to file a bond of $5000 as required by the statute, which conditioned that they would not violate any of the statutes concerning the entic ing of seamen, unlawful boarding of ves sels, etc., under pain of criminal prosecu tion and forfeiture of the bond. The at torney asserted that White and Smith nad done everything necessary, and were entitled to a license at once. The firm now In the business was making big money, he said, shipping a large number of sailors dally, and It was Important to his clients that the matter be disposed of at once. He Tvas willing to go to trial at once, and submit evidence concerning the respect ability of Smith and White. Mr. McGinn was not prepared. He stated that Mr. Wright, president of the board of commissioners for licensing sailor boarding-Houses, was out of the city at tending -a. bankers' convention, and Theo dore Wilcox and others were wanted as witnesses. After considerable more speech-, making Judge Cleland set the hearing for Tuesday morning. MARRIES FORMER "WIFE. John B. Buntin. In United Again to Divorced Spouse. The course of true love never did run smooth admits John B. Buntin, -who has just been reunited to his wife of many yars ago, after having tried various other matrimonial partners. The couple -were first joined together In the holy bonds of wedlock In New York nearly 30 years ago and lived happily together for a considerable length of time. They had several children who are grown up and still reside in the East Buntin and hl3 wife, because of trouble caused by meddlesome relatives, finally disagreed and were divorced. Buntin, to drown his sorrows and begin life anew came to Oregon, made the Willamette Valley his home, and soon took to himself a second spouse. Mrs. Buntin also tried It again, changing her name to Mrs. Agnes A. Anderson. She remained in New York with her-second husband until his death, and a son blessed their union. Kecently Mrs. Anderson came to Ore gon and procured a home at Montavllla. Whether she came here at the request of Buntin to once more become the bosom of his Joys and to forget the past and for glvtv is not known, but at all events Buntin was free to wed, tho divorce courts having freed him from all en tanglements of a legal nature. But there Is one feature of the case which appears strange, and which Buntin has not explained. He attempted to pro cure the marriage license by practicing deceit. , When he appeared at the County Clerk's office, and said he wanted a mar riage license, -Deputy H. B. Bamford, who waited upon him, said: "Is the license for . yourself?" "No, It is for Mr. Buntin," was the re sponse. Buntin said his name was John Bu chanan and he Teas prepared to sign and swear to the affidavit as a -witness. Fred Prasp, another deputy who was standmg close by, knows Buntin, and he objected to haying ..a man make an affidavit to his own identity under .an as sumed name. Mr. Prasp told Buntin so. He said to him: Tour name is not Buchanan, It Is Buntin. How are you going to swear your name Is Buchanan, when I know it Is Buntin?" Buntin then confessed, saying he did not think it made any difference, as Bu chanan was the middle name. Another witness was demanded and Buntlrf with out difficulty procured W. G. Smith, an engraver in the Washington building, to act, and the license was Issued. Buntin gave his age as 49 and that pf Agnes A. Andeson as 50. He Is thought to be older. He requested the clerks to have the fact of the Issuance of the license kept from the newspapers. TO .RECOVER SHORTAGES. District Attorney Prepare Com plaints in County Cleric Cases, District Attorney John Manning is pre paring complaints to file In the State Cir cuit Court In the matter of the short ages In the County Clerk's office reported by Expert -George Black, against ex Clerks Hanley H. Holmes and Li. Q. Shet land. The account against the former Is about $2500 and against Swetland $500. Holmes is dead, but the bond filed by him is good. His estate Is represented by At torney Ed Mendenhall. At the trial of the suits the question' to be decided will probably be tho correctness of the ex pert's figures. ' There Is no doubt that somo errors were made In -ue. Clerk's office during the years covered by the report. Court Rotes The inventory and appraisement of the estate of Nathan Pearcy, deceased, was filed yesterday. xThe property is valued at $5779.

D.. on September 9, to continue in session six days. Colonel Frank V. Drake, who with others attended the two last annual sessions of this congress, went to Butte, Mont, last year as a representative of the Board of Trade, made an address to the congress and procured the passage of a resolution Indorsing the then proposed X.ewls and Clark Centennial Exposition.

Tho distinguished guest Is to be taken for a drive about Portland tomorrow morning, members of the Missouri Society being his hosts. Between 2 and 4 P. M. Saturday he will be given a reception at the Portland Hotel It has been planned that H. W. Scott will introduce Mr. Clark to those who call to greet him. The last address to be given by Mr. Clark at Gladstone will be de livered Saturday evening. Arrangements have been made for taking the members of the Missouri Society to the place in a body. They will gather at 7:15 P. M. at East Washington street where a special car attached to the Southern Pacific's Chautauqua train Is to be held In waiting. Accompanying Congressman Clark are his wife, a son and daughter. The party will remain in Portland until Sunday night wrhen they are to leave for Pocatello, Idaho, where Mr. Clark is to deliver an address. proved by a unanimous rising vote. These resolutions and the substance of his re marks -were published In the Montana pa pers and In The Oregonlan. Colonel Drake was further assured by prominent mining men and some of the state offi cials of Montana, Idaho and Dakota that Oregon's effort to properly celebrate one of the most notable events in the history of the Nation would be supported by their states and by individuals. Now that the Exposition has bjsen fully determined upon and preparations are under way, he. thinks some direct effort should be made to again press the matter before this congress, where probably every state, as well as. some foreign countries, will be represent ed by leading men and officials. "Colonel J. T. Grayson, of Portland, Is a member of the executive committee, and should be conferred with," said Colonel Drake. "He Is now temporarily In East ern Oregon, but will soon return. It might be well to prepare a formal address em bodying an Invitation to the congress and the localities they represent to Join In a patriotic endeavor to observe the anni versary of the linking of the Pacific Coast to the Louisiana Purchase. Such an ad dress would be printed In the Montana, Dakota and other newspapers and In the. volume of annual reports of the con gress." The following circular lias been Issued by the secretary of the congress: The sixth annual session of the American Mining Congress will convene in tlxs cjtles of Deadwood and Lead, September 7. 1003, and continue thereafter the 8th, Oth, 10th, 11th and 12th. The American Mining Congress is a perma nent and representative organization embrac ing not only those engaged directly in mining and treating metals of all kinds but also those Interested In every allied industry. The mission of the organization Is a thor ough business campaign of education, and to this end the effort Is made to bring together all classes of people interested in mining, or who desire reliable Information relating to this important industry.

LIGHT FROM LILAC ROOTS Curious Appearance Noted by Port ' land Gardener. PORTLAND, July 23. (To the Editor.) I have a lilac tree, ten years old, eight feet high and symmetrical In' shape, having never been allowed to sucker. For several years it grew and bloomed profusely, but for two seasonspast It has, without apparent cause, been in an unhealthy state,, putting forth a meager show of foliage and 'scant weak bloom. The trunk and limbs were somewhat moss-grown, and a- few weeks ago I gave It a thorough washing and a coat of lime whitewash. Three days ago I dug up and pulverized the soil around It and some of the small roots near the surface were cut and turned up with the soil. Sitting on my veranda that even ing, after nightfall, I saw what appeared to be a swarm of motionless glow worms In the soli arounft my lilac tree. Upon investigation I found that every frag ment of lilac root lying on top of the freshly dug soil had a glowing spot of light on It resembling phosphorus. The spots were circular, from an eighth to a fourth of an Inch In diameter, bright as flame, and Immovable, not being affected In any way by rubbing. Examining the roots by daylight I find no sign of this phenomenon, if such it may be called. Can anyone tell me what It Is, and whether It Is a cause or a result of the poor health of the tree? Is there a rem edy? J- B. M. PRAISE FOR FIREMEN. Mayor Williams Receives Letter Commending Their "Work. Mayor Williams has received the follow ing letter praising the firemen: Portland, July 21. Hon. George H. Williams, Mayor, Portland. Or. Dear Sir: About mid night July 20, a fire occurred In a gun store in our building located on Yamhill street near Second. The discharging cartridges made the work of the firemen exceedingly dangerous. However, the most prompt and efficient work done by the Fire. Department prevented tha fire burning beyond the storeorom in which It occurred. Anything short of the very prompt and efficient manner in which this fire was handled would have almost surely resulted in the loss of our block. I wish to express to you as Mayor, and through you, to Chief Campbell and the members of the Portland Fire Department my apprecia tion of the excellent service, and the very capable manner In which this fire was han dled. The Portland Fire Department Is cer tainly one for all our citizens to be proud of. Yours respectfully. GEORGE H. STROWBRIDQE. If the Police Department would earn some such flattering commendation as the above for efficiency. Mayor Williams and the public would be much pleased. s Theatrical Magaates at UaUer City.
