TRUSTS OLD SWEETHEART German Friends Arouse Her From Her Dream and Show Her She Is Victim of Fraud Now Schenk Is in Prison. Far from her native home, separated from ner relatives by the broad ex panse of an ocean and a continent and unable to speak a word of English, pretty Miss Julia Yauger is in trouble. The comely German lass traveled alone from hr home near Klosterneu- Julia VauRer. Who Came rrom Ger many to Wed Andreas Schenk. berg to Portland, that she might wed the sweetheart of her youth. Ue wrote to her. It Is claimed, asking - her to come, and saying ho would marry her. Arriving In Portland Sunday night, she was met by the man, whose name is Andreas Schenk, and accompanied him to apartments in a rooming-house in the down-town district. She be lieved him to be a good man and trust ed him implicitly. Yesterday Miss Yaugcr's dreams of happiness were brought to a sudden end, when Warrant Officer Goltz ar rested Schenk, and caused him to bo locked up in the City Jail on a serious charge. Schenk is said to be a man of evil disposition, and it is charged he has a wife and family, now living in the East. He Is said to have married sev eral years ago, and three years ago separated from his wife and family at Chicago. He came "West, while his wife went to Virginia. It Is said they were never divorced. Schenk, according to the story re lated to Gfcrman people who learned of her arrival and of the circum stances, told Miss Yaugcr that in America a marriage ceremony was un necessary: that as long as he had paid her way from Germany and would pro vide for her here, it was legal for them to live as man and wife. The case will be called today before Municipal JuJg Hogue. MAY 00 IS THE OPENING DAY PORTAGE ROAD W1LI BE READY FOR TRANSPORTATION. Jatrt Spike Will Be Driven and For mal Exercises Will Be Held to Commemorate the Event. May SO will mark a new era in trans portation of products from the interior to Portland, for on that date the new Celllo portage road will be opened. Unless" some unforeseen contingency arises, it Is certain that the last plke will be driven and the road opened on that day. At a joint meeting of a committee of the Open River Association and the open river Committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday the date was definitely fixed for the formal opening of the road, and Im posing exercises will mark the occasion, larga delegations from both Portland and the Interior will attend the opening. A party will come from LeJviston on the steamer Mountain Gem, whllo another steamer will take up a large representa tion from Portland, composed of promi nent business men and representatives of the commercial organizations'. The an nual session of the Open River Associa tion will be held on the steamer, which will go up the river as far as the Big Eddy. Details have not yet been arranged, but addresses by leading men of the state will mark the driving of the last spike and the opening of the road. William D. Wheel wright, president of the Chamber of Com merce, has been delegated to arrange matters here, while the Open River Asso ciation will attend to the programme at Cclilo. Portland business men expect to be largely represented at the opening of the road, as it means much to this city, as well as to the interior districts. Much satisfaction is expressed by both districts that the successful accomplishment of the rroject is so near at hand. be about $27,000. The defendants will move for a new trial, and if that falls, will appeal to the Supreme Court. Toe suit was begun by Mrs. Hoffman In July, 1S9G, and has been to the Su preme Court and back. The first deci sion was in favor of Mrs. Hoffman. Hablghorst, Williams and the others were stockholders In the Portland Guaranty Company, now a defunct or ganization, which was formed to back the financial schemes of the old Port land University. In February, 1893, Sarah Wertheimer made a loan of $15,000 for the benefit of the university, and as security re ceived a note signed by Hablghorst and the others and some land was also transferred to her as security. She af terwards released the land and granted an extension of time on the note Mrs. Hoffman, as executrix of the wili of her husband, Lee Hoffman, de ceased, bought the note for Its face value in November, 1S9S, under au thority granted by the County Court. The note was not paid, and she sued to recover. The defendants contended that they were not liable, and were only sureties for the Portland Guaranty Company. Judge Scars decided that their signatures to the note meant something, and that they must pay.' An appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in favor of defendants, and a new trial was granted. The note was overdue when it was purchased by Mrs. Hoffman. GQNDUGTQBS START HOME THIRTIETH BIEXXIAD CONVEN TION COMES TO A CLOSE. WINS FROM THE SURETIES Sirs.

The last chapter of the 30th biennial con vention of the Order of Railway Conduc tors was closed yesterday morning, when long special trains, carrying over 4000 delegates and members of the order and the auxiliary, pulled from the Union sta tion and started on their long journey to all parts of the continent. The entertain ment committee of the local division were at the station and waved a farewell as the trains departed, keeping up the record of Portland's hospitality to the last. Wherever the visitors go and whenever Portland Is mentioned, there will be an outburst of enthusiasm. Portland's hos pitality was never shown to better ad vantage than during the stay of the rail way conductors. The Impression this made upon the delegates was creditable to the city and the state, and every dele gate will hereafter be Oregon's special press agent and will sing aloud the praises of the "Rose City." True to this name, residents of the city who were interested in the conductors invaded the station just before the trains departed and presented the visitors huge boquets of roses, fresh picked from the vines. Every person on the trains carried away floral tributes to the city's good-will. E. B. Coman, of Mt. Hood Division.
