CHILD FATALLY SCALDED
BOT OF FOUR YEARS DIES AT
ST. VINCENT'S HOSPITAL.
lasses Away After Five Days' Ter
rible Suffering No Report on
Case Made to Coroner.
While playlnw about the yards of
the Alnsllc Sash and Door factory,
Feventeenth ' and Fettyjrrove streets,
Jecemher IS, 4-year-old Willie do
Polk, the eon of Belgian parents, re
Kldlnx at Seventeenth and Thurman
streets, was so badly burned by es
caping steam that he died "In terrible
KKony at St. Vincent's Hospital last
Sunday.
The officials of St. Vincent's Hospital
habitually neglect to report violent
deaths occurring In that Institution, ac
cording to a statement given out at
the office of Coroner Flnley. and they
made no report in this case, hence
there has been no official Investigation
of the sad affair. There is no law on
the statute books of Oregon compelling
any one to report such cases to the
Coroner, and his office is frequently
Ignored and . burial made- before any
Information finds its way into his ofTce.
"Our office is continually Ignored by
the officials of ft. Vincent's Hospital,
who neglect to Inform us In cases of
violent deaths." said TVputy Coroner
Klnley last night. "This Is a case
where the Coroner should have been
notified at once, so that there could
have bven an immediate Investigation
of all the facts, and it could have been
established If there was blame attach
ing to any one. The laws of this
State are so constructed that this of
fice has no recourse after burial, and
we cannot act, when information
reaches us so late." '
When the little boy was scalded by
the steam that was escaping from an
exhaust pipe under the trestle work, his
screams attracted workmen, who
rushed to the scene and removed the
sufferer to the home of .his parents,
not far distant. Drs. William Jones
and J. C. Ross were summoned, and did
all they could to save the lad's life.
They had him taken to St. Vincent's
Hospital, where he died December 23.
The parents of the lad are Belgians,
who cannot speak a. word of English.
After the lad was burned, the mill
management Immediately altered the
steam pipe, so that a repetition of the
affair could not occur.

DIVORCE IN 15 MINUTES

The time record in the securing of a

Johnson and E. D. Johnson were husband
and wife. Fifteen minutes later they were

The action was brought by Mrs. John
son on the ground of desertion. In her
complaint she sets forth that they were
married October 10. 1900 at Newport and
that in June of 1905. her husband wilfully
deserted her. in just 15 minutes after
the complaint had -been filed in the state

Houghton's Bondsmen Ask Release.
Proceedings for. the release of "Chick"
Houghton's bondsmen were Instituted In
the State Circuit Court yesterday fore
noon. Lawyer H. C. King, in behalf or
Houghton's mother and A. J. Brault. the
sureties on Houghton's bond of $2100
asked that they -be released; from respon
sibility as Houghton had been surren
dered to the warden of the state prison.
The subject was taken under advisement
by Judge Sears.
Gasplpe Murderer Pleads' Insanity.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. Mental
incapacity in both father and son was
made the basis of the attempt of Louis
Dabner to secure a withdrawal of his,
former plea of guilty, made In connec
tion with the gaspipe murders, before
Judge Cook today. G. P. Hall, attorney
for the young man, admitted that the
Judge had carefully explained the con
sequence of declaring his guilt before
the court,, and said that his client had
speculated upon the chances of clem
ency that might be granted him, and
was moved to withdraw the plea upon
realizing the position he had placed
himself in. But, however that may be.
Hall asserted Dabner had acted blindly
upon the advice of a dull-witted father,
and was unable, moreover, to compre
hend the meaning of the warning of the
court. Judge Cook, on hearing the ar
gument, continued the case to January
8. He will probably delay deciding the
motion for a change of plea until after
the trial of Slemsen, Dabner's co-partner
in crime.
