'Boe Ulm for & Divorce, and Also Wants Alimony, Property and Attorney's Fees. X.ida C. Greeno says her husband, S. H. Greene, compelled her to sign a deed at the point of a revolver, and she also charges that he made her grub stumps, abused her, railed to provide for her, and made lier earn her own living. Mrs. Greene "wants a divorce and she filed a complaint yesterday in the State Circuit Court by her attorneys. The defendant Is an at torney at law and served two terms as Justice of the Peace In Portland. Concerning the deed, which covers a block at Et Johns known as the Greene homestead, Mrs. Greene avers that the defendant threatened to shoot her if she did not affix her signature to the Instru ment, saying he was ready for a shooting scrape, and displaying a revolver. The plaintiff states that although her husband is a lawyer and capable of earning a good income he has not provided well for his family, and has permitted her to work and earn her own living, and during her spare- hours has allowed her to im prove the appearance of their home by re moving stumps. She asserts that besides the block at St Johns, Greene owns 30 acres of land at Castle Hock. 'The court is asked to order him to pay $100 attor ney's fees for her benefit, and 550 per month alimony for her support. The liti gants were married In Portland In 1887. Mrs. Greene further accuses her husband of infidelity and names Laura Shaffer as Greene has also sued her husband to recover possession of the homestead at St. Johns, described as block 8, James Johns' First Addition. She avers that the property was paid for mainly out of her own personal earnings, and that she Intended to keep it as a homestead for "herself and child. On June 18. 1903, she alleges that the defendant forced her to sign a deed In favor of his mother, Par znella C. Greene, who lives In Iowa and threatened to take her life if she did not do so. Afterwards Mrs. Greene asserts that Greene secured a deed to the block from his mother, and now holds the title to It. Greeno will contest both suits, and has engaged Attorney Ed Mendenhall to ap pear for him. He will file his answers at the proper time, denying all the charges made against him and giving his version of the differences. The trial promises to be a sensational one. "WTMj BE WIDENED. Court "Will Have Houses Moved Off "White House Road. The County Court yesterday decided to take measures at once to have fences and buildings on the "White House road moved hack, so as to complete the work of wid ening the road from GO to 80 feet About $15,000 has already been expended on the improvement of the road, and after the buildings and fences have been placed on the new line, there will remain some macadamizing to be done. This will probably be delayed until the road fund is in better condition than at the present time, probably until next Spring. Furthermore, it is the announced policy of the court to entortaln no claims for damages, and the recent demands of Jo seph Hohse, of Rohse's Park, for compen sation because he has to move the fence surrounding his property, will be refused. The court takes the position that the time Jfor asking damages has long since passed, and those who failed to put in an appear and within the period when such claims were entitled to be received are now "barred. A house mover was dispatched to look over the field with the object of making a contract to move back the buildings. The court says that if persons owning prop- erty which is over the line do not move the buildings back, or permit the county to do so, they will be arrested and pros ecuted for obstructing a public highway. The court will resort to any measure with in its Jurisdiction to enforce the order es tablishing the road boundaries. Attorney Charles Schnabel, represent ing Mr. Rohse, from whom a strip of property Will be taken by the widening process, appeared before the court to ar gue the merits of- the claim of his client for damages. Mr. Schnabel resented the imputation made by Councilman Zlmmei 'man at a previous session of the court that Rohse's place was not respectable. Counsel said Rohse ran a beer garden Which was in every way an orderly place. This argument however, failed to im press the court, which decided that Mr. Rohse would have to move his fence back. The only remedy left Is for Attorney :Bchnabel to file a suit In the State Circuit Court GREEN-GOODS MEN ARRESTED. rScrr York Officers Catch Swindlers by Aid of Portland Attorney. The arrest of a green goods man and two of his partners' In New York Clty was caused T)y United States District At torney John H. Hall sending a green igoods letter, received in Portland by N. J. Blagen, to N. H. Boyle, postal inspector in New York. Mr. Hall yesterday received word from Inspector Boyle that the men mere in custody, and that their bail had ibcen fixed at $7500 each, but the Inspector did not advice Mr. Hall of the names of Ithp prisoners. The letter received by Mr. Blagen was 6imllar to letters of the same kind which have been received for years past It 'advised the Teclplent that he could obtain 45000 worth of counterfeit greenbacks for ($750. $8000 worth for $1000, $20,000 worth for $2000. The counterfeits were said to be bo well executed as to defy detection. The envelope bore a Now York postmark, but I Inside, accompanying the letter, was a card of Instruction stating if more infor mation was desired to telegraph to C. A. Benton, (Sol East street, Archibald, Pa. Mr. Blagen turned the documents over to United States Attorney Hall, who was gratified to learn yesterday of the arrests fTvhich were accomplished by the postal In spector. Mr. Hall has another letter of the same kind referring to other green Igoods men, which he will see reaches 'the hands of the proper officer to deal with the case. MUST LABOR NOW. sCbarlcs Shanley Sentenced to Rock, pile for Stealing; Clothes. Having in mind the rockpile recently es tablished by the county authorities. Judge Cleland yesterday sentenced Charles .Shan iley to nine months' Imprisonment in the County Jail at hard labor. This means that the prisoner is to break rock with the Crest of the gang so employed.' Shanley jpleaded guilty to stealing clothing and jother articles in the Oregon Lodging SHouse. Attorney McCant Stewart who was ap pointed to defend the man, Informed the tcourt that Shanley was a tinner and was unable to obtain employment because of the strike some time ago. Shanley, he Bald, went to work in a rock quarry, and also ran on a work train for the Southern Pacific Company. The court concluded that these facts showed a proper spirit but had nothing to do with the crime committed by Shanley, and that work on HhQ rockpile might cure any criminal ten dency which he might have. More Trouble for Wilson. District Attorney John Manning yester day filed an Information in the State Circuit Court against William "Wilson, proprietor of the Badger saloon, charging him with unlawful cohabitation with label Elliott The complaint was made by the girl's father, "W.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept 1L According to Louis Garthe, Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American, the people of Cuba are not at this time anxious for annexa tion to the United States. Mr. Garthe has Just returned from a four month's' visit to the island, wh'efe he has been studying general conditions and the inclinations of the people. Discussing some of his obser vations, Mr. Garthe said: "The Cubans are very proud of their government and there is less annexation talk now than I ever heard before. The Cuban people feel that they can govern themselves, and even the few men who admit that annexation might be a good thing, insist that if they come In at all they will come in as a free and Indepen dent state, as Texas did. The Cuban poli tician Is Just as smart as any other poli tician, and he realizes the difference be tween a sovereign state, which elects all Its own officers and has the say In the distribution of its Federal patronage and the condition of a territory, where the President at Washington appoints all the office-holders. "If the Cubans are to become a part of the United States, they propose to re tain the offices and all the patronage for themselves. I don't think any man will get much of an audience inNHavana Just now when he talks of annexation. If Reciprocity Treaty Falls. "What will follow If the United States Congress falls at the coming session to perfect the Cuban reciprocity treaty?" "If the American Congress chooses to violate the promise, which everybody be lieves the late President McKInley made to the commissioners of the constitutional convention and In consdderatlon of which the convention accepted the Piatt amend ment whereby they practically surren dered their Independence, the Cuban sugar planters will simply have to cut down ex penses of administration more and trust to some providence for an increase In the price of sugar. Sugar, I think, now. Is selling for 2 cents, and the big mills which have installed the most modern machinery, are making some money the wnall mills, 'Ingenlos,' as they are called, will go to the wall Just as they have been going to the wall for the last 23 years. All the ruined sugar estates that you see In Cuba are not by any means the wrecks of the last war. The competltlorNn the busi ness and the steady decrease of the price of Cuban sugar has, for the past 25 years, been crowding out many of the planters, and I suppose if there is no reciprocity the men who cannot equip their plants with labor-saving machinery will have to be out of business. Meanwhile, the vast trade with Cuba that ought to be ours Is going elsewhere. Small Colonists or Farmers. "I have read a great deal In beauti fully Illustrated circulars of the wonder ful opportunities for small colonists and farmers In Cuba. I have no doubt that a man can raise on Cuban soil all that the circulars say he can raise, but until there are some roads in Cuba, so that a man can get his produce to market after he has raised It, I don't think the average American Is wise to undertake farming on a small scale in Cuba. I don't see how it can profit a farmer if he raises a thousand barrels of sweet potatoes on his farm, if he cannot get his stuff to mar ket after he has raised It and that is the trouble now In too many cases. I be lieve that big corporations, with unlim ited money behind them, can make for tunes In Cuba by developing the wonder ful resources of that country, but It will cost money to open up the country and to get your product to the market, after you find It The roads in Cuba now are unfit for comment. Can Maintain Order. a he government has had recent oppor tunity to show that it is physically strong enough to maintain itself, which Is, after all, the supreme test of a government The patriots who freed Cuba have been clamoring for their wages, and the re public Is now trying to float a loan of $35,000,000 to pay them. About throe weeks ago some man made a very Incendiary speech in Havana, and It is feared that there might be an uprising of discontent ed veterans. In the eastern part of the island there did occur what was heralded in the States. I believe, as a 'revolution.' Four men who had possibly been In the army took to the highways, announced that they were going to revolt and called upon their fellow-soldiers In the army to join them In overthrowing the govern ment and getting their money. "Cuba has no army, but it has an or ganization called the 'Rural Guards,' a, body of men organized by the Americans on the plan of the old Texas Rangers; men who shoot straight and ride hard. A detachment of Rural Guards started out after the 'revolutionists,' and the next day brought three of them into town dead the fourth one came in that evening and surrendered, and so the revolution was over. The Rural Guards have now been Increased to some 3500 men, and every other 'revolution' will end in the same quick way. There are to be some municipal elections this Fall, and, after the approved manner of Latin-American, countries, it is quite likely that some of the defeated candidates will start little 'revolutions of their own. With the Rural Guards Increased, as they now are, all these revolutions -will have the same brief history." NOTHING TO ARBITRATION Rights of America- and Britain Are Likely to Be Left to Coznxnisisons. WASHINGTON. Sept 11. The appoint ment of an American-British Boundary Commission, to determine the boundary lines off the coast of Borneo separating the possessions in those waters of the islands belonging to the two countries, may be the eventual solution of the In quiry which the London Government has addressed to the State Department as to the sovereignty over certain of these isl ands. The communication received from the British Charge d'Affalrfes regarding the control to be exercised over these Islands which have frequently been a resort for pirates is still under consideration at the State Department and acting Secretary Adee will consult with the Secretary of the Navy before replying. So far as can be learned there is noth ing In the controversy over these islands which will call for arbitration. BUSINESS ITEMS.

BIO PROFITS ON PAPER MILWAUKIE MAY OPERATE ITS OWN WATERWORKS. Committee of City Council Estimates Probable Cost and Would Issue Bonds to Meet It. The water committee, at the meeting of the Mllwaukle Council on Thursday night, submitted figures to show that the city can make a profit of $11,861 In 20 years on an Investment of $6000 In a water plant Mr. Roberts read the statement He said that the committee had estimated the probable cost of installing the plant at $6000, which amount would have to be pro vided by sale of 5 per cent bonds. It was estimated that at the start there would be 30 faucets, at $1.25 each., which price was to be maintained for ten years. After ten years the price was to be reduced to $1 per faucet to be maintained until the 16th year, when the rate was to be 75 cents. The rate of Increase from the orig inal 30 consumers to start with Is estimat ed at ten a year, and at the end of 20 years, if the estimates were borne out there would be 270 consumers. The total Income is estimated at $34,400 for the 20 years, while the interest and operating ex penses were placed at $22,539, leaving a balance of $11,861 In favor of the city if it owns the water plant City Recorder F. H. Lecher then offered the Council ground for the plant on his place In Mllwaukle free of cost for the first ten years, and he also said that he would look after the pumping of water. Mayor William Shindler called attention to the fact that the Installation of the water plant by the city meant a munici pal Indebtedness, of which the people might not approve. His remarks were a sort of safety valve on the enthusiasm of the Councilmen. Councilman Kerr, spoke for municipal ownership as the most economical In the long run. It would mean that Mllwaukle would have to Issue bonds, and authority to do this would have to come from the Legislature, but Mllwaukle could afford to wait until thlscouId be obtained. Council man Keller also favored municipal owner ship. Councilman Roberts remarked that it was no small Job to get an amend ment to the charter through the Legis lature providing for the bonds required. He was , not sure that It was the best plam The figures In the estimate of the probable Scost and Income had been given so the people could form some idea of the cost of a plant owned and operated by Mllwaukle. There was some discussion as to the best way to find out what the people think about Incurring a debt in order to own the water plant Mr. Kerr suggested that it might be referred to the people at the city election, which will take place De cember 15. J. L. Johnson, who asked for a 30-year franchise, addressed the Council. He said that the company he represented would not undertake to build water-works unless given a 30-year franchise. All the towns In the Willamette Valley were supplied by companies owning not less than 40-year franchises. Mr. Johnson said his figures did not agree with the figures of cost and Income submitted" by the water committee in many important points, and Intimated that the estimates were overdrawn. Mr. Johnson then agreed to have his proposi tion ready for the next meeting of the Council, and on motion further consider ation of the water question was continued until that time. TRAPPED BY A BEAR. Conductor Dave Houston Has Tlirlll inf? Experience While Fishing. Conductor Dave Houston, of the South ern Pacific Railroad, who Is taking a ten days' vacation at- Seaside, had a thrilling experience with a big bear which he will not soon forget He only told a few of the 'incidents, as he desired to keep It quiet, but the story leaked out Conduc tor Houston Is a great fisherman, and never lets an opportunity slip to cast the line. He had hardly got settled at the seaside when he went out on the Necani cum River to have a fish all by himself. He made his way through the brush until he came to a log, one end of which pro jected out into the creek. "That's the very place," thought the conductor, and, ad Justing his line and pole, he crept out on the log, where he found himself com fortably perched above the cool water of Necanlcum Creek. Houston lighted his tried and trusty pipe and then cast his line. He fished and smoked perhaps an hour without getting a bite. Suddenly there was a movement In the bushes back of him, and then he felt the log" he was sitting on tremble. Instinct ively the conductor turned around, when to his amazement he gazed Into the face of a black bear. The latter seemed to be sizing him up and estimating how much of a meal the conductor would make, and whether he would "scrap" when it came tot the point For the conductor there seemed no escape. The bear sat com plaisant' on the shore end of the log, and It was not possible for Conductor Houston to get past the monster. The bear held him there for several hours before a hunter came along and killed the animal. The bear weighed 250 pounds when dressed. Conductor Houston now has a few more gray hairs in his head as the result of his experience. v IMPROVEMENT A MILE LONG. Contractors Gicbiscli A .To pi In Es tablish Camp on Union Avenue. Contractors Gleblsch & Joplln, who have secured the contract for Improving Union avenue from Alberta street, at Highland, to Dekum avenue. Woodlawn, have estab lished camp and are preparing to com mence work. This improvement will be more than a mile In length, and Is the most important undertaken this year on the East Side. It will open up an exten sive district northward from Highland to the city limits. Gravel for the Improve ment will be taken from the-street as It Is being improved. There Is plenty of good gravel under the surface of all that district No new gravel pits can be opened at Woodlawn without a permit. It has taken over ten years to get Union avenue widened to SO feet and the con tract let for its improvement to Wood lawn. When completed Union avenue will be the longest street on the East Side. Contractor O'Neil Is improving Union ave nue between Weidler and Morris streets, so that there will be 'a continuous im provement through to Woodlawn. MUST LEAVE MILWAUKIE. Marshal Keclc Notifies Gypsies to Move in Twenty-four Hours. Marshal Jesse Keck, of Mllwaukle, yes terday morning notified the gang of gyp sies camped Inside the limits of the town to vacate within 24 hours. Part of the gang left last Monday with two wagons, 6ne of which is supposed to be the wagon W. A. Hays lost but about 20 were left Their presence has never been welcome. Mayor William Shindler ascertained from Mr. Church, owner of the land on which they are camped, that they were there without any authority from him, and that he objected to them as much as anyone. The gypsies said he gave them permission to camp on his ground. If the gypsies do not comply with the order to leave. Mar shal Keck says that he will round up the entire gang and take them to Oregon City in a special electric car. 1 SUES FOR COMMISSION. D. J. Benlcey Seeks to Collect $102.50 From S. M. Burr. The hearing of the case of D. J. Beakey to recover $162.50 from S. M. Barr, of the Barr Hotel, commission alleged to have been earned . by the sale of the hotel fix tures to J. R. Tumey, was taken up yes terday "morning before Justice Waldemar Seton. W. T. Hume appeared for the plaintiff and Henry McGinn for the de fendant Beakey testified that he was au thorised, to sell the hotel fixtures with a five-year lease on the hotel; that he brought Tumey and Barr together and ef fected the sale for $4500. A copy of an advertisement was shown as evidence that Beakey was given the handling of the property. Mr. Barr denied that the sale was ef fected through the agency off Beakey. He testified that he did sell out to Tumey for $4000 and .leased the hotel to him at the rate of $400 per month, without any as sistance from Beakey, who, he declared, was In no way connected with the trans action. He also testified that he had cor respondence with Tumey two years before Beakey ever came into his hotel. As it was desired to secure some additional evi dence, the case was continued until next Monday. Charged With Defacing a Building:. Earl Elliott, Urtuff Knox, Joseph Mul holland. Otto Vandemelr and Peter Van demeir, boys of about 10 years of age, were arraigned before Justice Waldemar Seton yesterday morning on a charge of defacing" buildings on East Washington street C. M. Patterson was the complain ing witness. The cases of the boys were continued until next Tuesday at 1 o'clock, and they were allowed to go on their own recognizances. Patterson remarked' that conditions had become Intolerable on East Washington street, between Union avenue and East Water street because of the de predations of these boys. He says that they deface buildings and throw missiles at passing trains. Better Car Service Monday. Woodlawn will get a 12-mlnute car serv ice from next Monday. This was the re port of the committee on street cars at the meeting of the Push Club, held Thurs day evening. Since cars have been run ning to the Vernon Addition, Woodlawn's car time was cut down to 20 minutes, and the committee interviewed Manager Ful ler, of the Portland Railway Company, and. he promised that the 12-mlnute time will be put In force Monday. The com mittee appointed to wait on the water committee made a partial report It Ts desired to get a water main on Union ave nue to Woodlawn when the avenue Is im proved, which will soon be undertaken. Policemen and the Telephone. The lot of the policeman whose beat Is well out In the suburbs Is not an easy one. Besides the ordinary difficulties, he must spend a considerable per cent of his sal ary in telephoning In reports. There are few places in the outlying districts on the East Side where a policeman can tele phone a report to the headquarters with out being taxed for a nickel. Sometimes he must send in from ten to 20 reports while on duty, and for most of these mes sages he must pay, the sum total of which cuts a big slice out of his salary. C. A.

MILK ON SALE AT SCHOOLS Chicago's Latest Solution of the Im pure Water Problem. CHICAGO. Sept 1L The children in the Chicago public schools will no longer have to drink Impure water. If a proposal of the Milk Commission meets with the ap proval of the Board of Education. Pas teurized milk on sale at a penny a bottle at every school Is the solution of the problem suggested by the commission. This plan has been outlined by Mrs. Geo. M. Moulton, president of the commis sion, after seeing the popularity of the milk distribution among the pupils of the Thomas Hoynt schools, where the pas teurizing plant Is located. . The water has been shut off from the building while some repairs have been in progress. The thirsty children were "of fered the pure milk at one cent a bottle, and more than 300 three-ounce bottles were taken In the course of the day. Many plans have been submitted to provide pure water In the schools. Last Winter it was proposed to have plants put in to boil the 'water and filters were pro vided. All reforms thus far advocated have been discontinued because of the ex pense. DAILY 3IETEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND, Sept. 11, 8 P. M.

Those who defend coffee often say it Is only the cheap grades that hurt ono but It Is a fact that the highest priced coffee on the market Is just as Injurious to those with whom coffee acts as a poison as a cheap grade. "More than 20 years ago I became con vinced that coffee was slowly killing mo and it may interest you to know that I found out by careful experiments that the better the grade of coffee the more I suffered," says a lady of Harvey. 111. "So I gave up coffee and drank hot water only going back to coffee oc casionally and always having to pay for It in suffering of some kind. "About four years ago I visited the home of a friend one evening and some Postum was very daintily served to the company present and was unanimously pronounced delicious. When I learned how it was prepared I found that the reason I had not liked it before was be cause I had not boiled it long enough to bring out the crisp delicious coffee taste; ever since that time I have used Postum steadily. My family and I have found It most wholesome and pleasant and a food drink in every sense of the word, with na bad after effects, but on the other hand It is a strong rebullder and blood maker.
