TIIE MORNIXG OKEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1907. 10 WIFE RUNS DDI ELOPING HUBBY Leads Police in Chase of Erring Spouse and His Charmer. CAPTURE AT OREGON CITY Mrs. H. II. Wilson Causes Arrest of Her Husband and Mrs. T. W. Taylor, AVlio Sought to Klope by the Aid of an Automobile. In an effort to apprehend H. H. Wilson, a bookkeeper, the entire police depart ment was kept on the jump yesterday afternoon from 1 o'clock until 10 last night. The wires were sizzling with mes sages to town marshals, directing them to catch the allesred culprit, who was trying hard to make his way out of the mate with Mrs. Taylor, wife ot ex-Police Sergeant T. W. Taylor. His own wife, accompanied by Acting Detective lnskeep. went to Llnnton on the North ern Pacific train at 4 o'clock, found no trace of the hunted man anil returned. "While waiting for the southbound South ern Pacific at Oregon City, at 9 o'clock, the fugitive and his companion were taken Into custody by Acting Detective Price. Chief Gritzmacher was seated In his office, writing more telegrams to be flashed abroad, when news of the cap ture was telephoned in from Oreson City. Breathing a sigh of relief. Chief Gritzmacher exclaimed that, not for long months, had he been kept as busy trying to locate and arrest a man as he had been all day in the endeavor to head off Wilson and his fair companion. Mrs. "Wilson, who entered a complaint, in tended to end the unlawful elopement, did not know whether to be glad or sad. She had been wavering throughout the busy hours of the afternoon and evening, first being enthusiastic for prosecution and then wishing that the case be dropped. The. Wronged Wife Repents. , Once during the afternoon, Just after the departure of the Puget Sound limi ted train for the Sound, Mrs. Wilson almost repented of her act in swearing out the warrant for her husband, and begged at police headquarters that It be recalled, but the officers were obdurate, being of the belief that a crime had been committed. As It was clearly their duty to make the arrest, they held out against her, and used every means at their com mand to bring him to book. Mrs. Wilson appeared at police head quarters at 1 o'clock and explained that her husband had eloped with another woman, and that they were due to leave for Puget Sound on the limited train at 2 o'clock. There was no time to be lost, and Captain Moore advised her to hurry .to the office of District Attorney Man ning, where she quickly entered a com plaint, charging a statutory offense. Re turning to the headquarters building, she was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the CHINESE NEW YEAR BEGINS WITH ENOUGH NOISE TO SHAKE THE CITY Feasting, Exchange of Calls, Burning of Fnnk and Incense, Religious Ceremonies and Explosion of Fireworks Are Features of the Celestial Holiday. AFTER AN EVENING of busy prep aration and a few preliminary fire works on Second street yesterday, the news was gently broken to Portland at midnight that the Chinese New Year was "on," in good earnest. Many for mer San Franciscans living within a radius of a mile of Chinatown thought It was an earthquake, and some would be joker declared that Mayor Lano phoned in from his suburban home on Oatman road to inquire if the Japanese had attacked this port; but in reality. It was only a mild forerunner of what will follow tonight, tomorrow night and several other nights to come. For the Chinaman Is a great believer in the efficacy of pure and unadulterated noise, and In this greatest of celebra tions this item is not to be overlooked for one moment. All the devils that ever poked inquis itive red noses into the dark and nar row passages of Chinatown to lure poor 3-.ee into the wicked ways of the Mell can man will be put to flight by the noise route tonight. The chase will bo a wild one, but It is the duty of the Oriental, according to his time-honored Confucian teaching, to banish the devils on the New Year's celebration, so if there are many of these cloven-hoofed Individuals in the neighborhood of Sec ond street at present, it will be well for them to move on. After they are gone, and all debts have been paid, the genuine good time of the year will como. and there will be muchee heap joy among the tongs. There will be feasting, there will be exchange of tails: Incense and punk will be burned by the bushel. The joss is decorated as on no other occasion, all the rich "All Leady, Let Vr Cio! embroideries of the Celestial Kingdom being none too good to spread upon the altars. The shops are now gay with marvel ous trimmings of gay-colored artificial floweis, and beaded temple insignia. Expensive lanterns are hung outside every door, the quality and size of these frequently indicating the pros- clerk of the Municipal Court, Frank D. Hennessey, and when he came, a war rant was Issued and placed In the hands of the police for service. But a few minutes remained before train time, and it was a hop-sklp-and-Jump proposition for the officers to reach the depot in time. Every one connected with the case was rushing pell mell to get tnto action, and at last it was found that the much-wanted Wilson and com panion were not on the train although, to be certain. Detective Price went as far as L-innton, looking carefully through every coach. Fully convinced the pair was still in the city waiting for an opportunity to get away, the police worked the old. reliable "cut-off" game, which simply means the notifying by wi-re of every town marshal at places through which it is necessary to pass to get away from Port land. Mrs. Wilson look a very active part in the chase, doing what no other woman has ever done by boarding the Puget Sound limited train at 4 o'clock with Act ing Detective lnskeep and inspecting every coach to see if her recreant husband was there. He was not. and when Goble was reached, the Portland-bound Northern Pacific passenger was just pulling out. Mrs. Wilson tried to get up on the steps, but fell, and a brakeman saved her from injury by pulling her aboard. Wilson had not yet been captured when his wife and lnskeep returned to police headquarters, and she immediately be seeched C'nief Grltzmacher to "hit the wires" again, which he at once prepared to do. Before he finished his list of dis patches, however, word came that the arrests had been made at Oregon City. Keeks Kscape In an Auto. In a desperate effort to escape from the city without detection, the couple had engaged an automobile and went to Linnton, hoping to catch the train for the Sound from that point, but they failed and returned. The only hope left was the Oregon City route, and they had yie chauffeur take them thither. High hopes were dashed as they were stepping aboard the Southern Pacific southbound train, they were seized and pulled to the plat form by the officers: placed under arrest and were soon speeding toward Portland and disgrace, in charge of Detective Price. Wilson was armed with a heavy-caliber revolver, fully loaded, and this was taken from him immediately after his arrest, as Detective Price had been told by Mrs. Wilson to be careful. Price rode from the Union Depot to Oregon City on the tender of an engine in order to catch the first glimpse of the fleeing couple, should they be found along the router He spied them at the Oregon City depot as the engine went past, and he was soon down and after them. Mrs. Taylor, who Is considered a hand some woman of the blonde type, nearly fainted when she was placed under arrest, and the scene was embellishedwlth an abundance of the dramatic. She cried bitterly upon reaching the Portland po lice headquarters. Long and repeated efforts by Wilson to secure bail of each for himself and Mrs. Taylor failed, and they spent the night in the City Jail. Kather of Fred T. Merrill Dead. F. H'. Merrill, father of Fred T. Mer rill, of this city, died at Redwood, Cal., Sunday afternoon, aged 73 years. He had suffered from apoplexy. He was a member of the Baptist Church, and was well known here. George Roosevelt Very 111. BRUSSELS. Feb. 11. The American Consul-General here, G. W. Roosevelt, who has been under treatment for in testinal trouble, has suffered a relapse and his condition is critical. perity of the owners. Many of them cost as much as $30 or $40 each, and are very beautiful in coloring and de sign. Embroidered covers are brought out for the chairs, the dish of bloom ing Chinese lilies is everywhere in evi dence, and the brilliant azalea, which seems to be a favorite with the Chinese, is used quite as much as the lily for Chlneae Jifw Year Came In on a Cracker." decorative purposes. The best of every thing is brought out, and the occasion is made a memorable one. for the New Year's to a Chinaman equals a combin ation of all the American holidays, put together with a few extra "Glorious Fourths" thrown in for good meas ure. While several hundred dollars' worth of firecrackers were sent off last even ing just to warm things up, it will be tonight that the real firing will begin. The joss houses and restaurants will be open and the public will have an oppor tunity to satisfy its curiosity. Last night many went down and watched the preparations, and seemed to enjoy them almost as much as the Celestials themselves. A girl with a big red rose on her turban became much interested in watching several merchants at their dinner, their manipulation of chopsticks fascinating her. She had her face pressed close to the window when one of them started for the door to dis perse the crowd. She lost no time in taking her departure, but saw the humor of the situation and asked her escort if he thought they took her for one of the devils. In a store further up the street a little woman in a gray tailored suit ventured to put her hands on a count ing board which lay on the counter, but the growl of the lusty old account ant, who sat huddled up in the corner, nearly frightened her out of her wits. Many attempted to go into the joss house, but were denied admittance, as the general reception does not begin until tonight. If a Chinaman owes you, this is the time to collect. If you are a devil, keep out of his way. It la Chinese New Year. li -$M LANE NAMES CHIEF Gritzmacher Appointed Head of Police by Mayor. COUNCIL CLAIMS VICTORY Members Believe They Forced Mayor to Act by Withholding Salary for Chief Until Appointment Should Be Duly Made. Captain Carl C. Gritzmacher was ap pointed to the position of Chief of Police yesterday afternoon by Mayor Lane, and members of the City Council who have been active In their effort to force the executive to name a Chief declare they have won a distinct victory. Gritzmacher will serve as Chief of Po lice until July 1. when he will retire from the city's service, as announced by him MR. DOOLEY APPEARS SUNDAY Mr. Dooley was ill practically all of last week. Those who look forward to the genial philoso pher's reviews of current topics in The Sunday Oregonian will be glad to hear that Mr. Dooley (F. P. Dunne) will take up his pen again, so that his series will be resumed next Sunday. In The Oregonian of January 22. Imme diately after his appointment yesterday he repeated his Intention, thus eliminat ing him from all police problems after that date. Mayor Lane's letter, naming . Gritz macher Chief, was very brief, it simply read that from this date, the appoint ment would hold. Congratulations were in order, and the man who has served in the Portland Police Department for 32 years, working his way up to The top from the most humble position, was made to feel that he had the approval of the entire force. While the Councllmen who have been fighting to bring about the a-ppointment of a Chief of Police by refusing to ap propriate the salary until a Chief was named, feel that they have won a big victory. It Is expected in police circles that the Mayor has plans that will some what lessen the triumph of his oppo nents in that body. For one thing, it makes sure a comfortable berth' for Cap tain of Detectives Bruin, unless the Council renews its attack upon him in the courts and compels him to step out. The Council recently refused to allow salaries for more than three captains of police, and for a time it appeared that Bruin and Slover would be dropped. The Mayor, however, backed by his Execu tive Board, found a provision in the charter which gives them the right to tlx the number of captains, and they passed a resolution at the last meeting, declar ing that the four captains in the service were necessary, and that an additional captain should be had for the proposed East Side station, soon to be organ ized. There is a strong rumor in police cir cles now to the effect that Mayor Lane and his Executive Board intend to re taliate on the Council by declaring in the near future that three new captains are necessary to officer the East Side sta tion, and it is predicted that, if this is done, it will be a double blow and the biggest victory yet scored by the Mayor against his antagonists in the Council. The Council, it is said, avowedlv worked to oust Captain Bruin from the department, but as yet has failed to ac complish this end, and that officer still holds down a $123 a month job as head or tne uetective bureau. WAS AN OREGON PIONEER Mrs. Agnes M. Crawford Who Came to Coast in 1855. Mrs. Agnes M. Crawford who was laid quietly to rest in the peaceful cemetery at Butteville on Sunday, February 10, was a pioneer woman who in her own quiet way, did much for the upbuilding of the good or tne commonwealth. Born in Toronto, Canada, on March 4, 1S32, Mrs. Crawford, then Miss Barnhart, accompanied her parents to Oregon, ar riving by the Isthmus route in the Fall of 1855. The Barnhart family settled on the Willamette River, opposite Butte ville, and there on February 3, 1857, Miss Barnhart was married to John D. Craw ford, brother of the late Medorem Craw ford, and with him went through the terrible experience of the flood of 1861 losing everything in the destruction of their home at Champoeg. Mr. Crawford died in 1877. shortly after the family had moved to Portland, and where Mrs. Crawford resided continuously until her death the evening" of February 7. Mrs. Crawford had been in feeble health for some time, never having fully recovered from a severe illness last Spring. A life-long church woman, Mrs. Craw ford was one of the faithful who wel corned the late Bishop Morris to Oregon, in 1869, and she had many pleasant mem ories of Bishop Scott and Father Tackier, those pioneers of the church in Oregon. Mrs. Crawford is survived by one son George G. Crawford, of Tacoma, and by four daughters, Charlotte EV Crawford Mrs. Robert Warrack. Mrs. J. C. Jacob- sen, of Portland, and Mrs. J. R. Shaw, of Oregon City, while of her own genera tion one sister and three brothers survive, one cf the latter being Major Barnhart, one of Portland's early pioneers. MORE BIRDS FOR OREGON B. Fallows Would Pass Appropria tion for Songsters. B. Fallows, president of the Song Bird Club, comes to the aid of House bill No. 286. a measure for the appropriation of $5000 for colonizing foreign and domestic songbirds in this state. He shows that this work Is one worthy of support, es pecially when it is known that the vari ous songsters sought to be introduced here are highly useful in addition to adding to the pleasure of every resident of the state by their singing. Mr. Fallows gives statistics of the in sect life destroyed by birds of the vari ous kinds which it is desired to Intro duce. While he states the economic im portance of the society's efforts has been of secondary Importance, these are such that they should not be overlooked. He says the inestimable value to man of added bird species in this state through their power of destroying Insect pests is alone sufficient to warrant expenditures by the, state In colonizing tnem here. Mr. Fallows said: "As Oregonians we are proud of our fruit, especially our apples, which take rank' as the best in the world. Their production, however, entails on , the or- cnaraist ' great labor in comoatung me insect pests with which the trees are infected. The industry promises to as sume immense proportions in the near future, yielding a large and increasing revenue to the state. With the increased area planted will come a corresponding if not an increased ratio of insect pests. "To increase the bird family to aid and assist the orchardist in his battle with these enemies seems not only de sirable, but a self-evident and imperative duty, especially when It is known that the varieties to be imported are strictly insectivorous or weed seed-eating birds."

As the result of conferences that have been held for the past two weeks, there will no longer be two painters' unions in .Portland. The rival organizations, which have been fighting- for the sev eral past months, will become one, and the result promises the strongest or ganization the painters nave ever had here. Last September the painters went on striKe ror a hair holiday on Saturdays. The employers refused the demand, and a number of nonunion men filled the places. Tnese men later formed a rival organization, and a number of the union painters joined their ranks. The new union professed to be In ac cordance with the principles of organ ized labor, declaring that the old union had struck without the authority of the international body. At the time of the strike this sanction had not been gained, and it was clearly shown that tne old union was at fault. Cecil M. Haybl. Pacific Coast organ izer of the pointers' unions, was sent here a fow weeks ago to attempt to settle matters. He accomplished his task, the old union admitted its error, and the reunion was effected.

JURY CA10T AGREE Mrs. Huntsman's Suit Against Money Lender Fails Again. SHE WILL TRY THIRD TIME Sued for $10,000 From R. I. Ecker son, Who Caused Her Arrest on Charge of Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses. For the second time a jury in the State Circuit Court has proven unequal to the task of deciding on the merits of Cathe rine Huntsman's suit against R. I. Ecker- son, a money broker. After being locked up nearly 36 hours the jury in the case decided that It could not reach an agree ment and accordingly was dismissed yesterday forenoon by Judge Frazer. Notice of a third trial was at once pre sented by Attorney Spencer, on behalf of Mrs. Huntsman. Several weeks ago a jury disagreed on the same case. At that time it is said the jury stood ten to two for the plain tiff, while the second jury is said to have developed ten men who wanted to give Mrs. Huntsman $50 damages. The other two, however, held out for more, and as neither side would yield its position, dis missal ensued. Mrs. Huntsman asks for $10,000 from the money lender because of his action in having her arrested under a charge that is alleged to have been groundless. Mrs. Huntsman borrowed $350 from the broker at usurious interest. The turn! ture she offered as security for the loan had not been entirely paid for, and, learning this, Eckerson caused her arrest on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. It is' said he hoped thereby to force a settlement of his claim. Mrs. Huntsman was taken to the police station and suffered other humiliations which she rates at $10,000. DECISION'S TO BE RENDERED Number of Opinions to Be Handed Down in State Circuit Court. The following decisions will be returned In the State Circuit Court this morning: By Judge Sears P. T.

TAFT REFUSES TO PliEAD. "Stands Mate" When Charged With Forgery in State Court. W. H. Taft, erstwhile real estate broker and alleged forger, declined to plead guilty or not guilty when arraigned in the State Circuit Court yesterday morn ing. Making use of an obscure and rarely used privilege in such case, he "stood mute," leaving it to the court to enter up a charge of not guilty. Thus Taft re serves the right to enter a plea at any time in the - future he may see hi. Lawyer McGarry hints mysteriously at unexpected developments in the case which will materially change Its present aspect and this probably accounts for the plea entered yesterday. The case will be set for hearing probably today. Asks $10,300 for Loss of an Eye. The Peninsular Lumber Company is de fendant in a suit for $10,300 which was placed on trial in the State Circuit Court yesterday. The Jury was secured at 4 P. M. and the taking of testimony will be commenced today. Rankin asks for $10,300 to recompense him for the loss of an eye. While he was working for the company last June a piece of flying wood cut out an eye and he holds the company responsible for the mishap. Diver Recovers Locomotive. A construction locomotive, the property of Porter Brothers, a contracting firm who Is building a portion of the North Bank road, jumped the track at Fisher's Landing last Wednesday and ran in the river. The machine sank in 40 feet of water, and it was necessary to secure the services of a submarine diver to lo cate the engine. Fritz De Rock, a well known diver of Portland, was called upon, and last Sunday he found the engine. The river at this point is very swift and the water was cold, but De Rock went down and fastened an inch and a half chain about the engine. It was then hoisted by a derrick scow and found in good condition. Firemen Stifled by Smoke.
