Olson, master of the steamship Alliance, was on trial yesterday before the local Board of United States. Inspec tors. It was late In the evening1 when the taking of testimony was completed and It will be several days before the officials announce a decision.

For Cap tain Olson appeared Purser Harry Skin ner, F. H. Clark, S. G. Stevens and A. A. Ansorgr, the three latter being pas sengers on the Alliance at the time of the trouble. Captain B. W, Olson, master of the Alliance, was the first person called to the stand. He recited the incidents in connection with the arrival of the Alli ance off the bar December 2 and of, the causes whW.-h led up to the filing of the charges against Captain Bailey and of the latter's alleged negligence in deliver ing the message from Mr. Baumgartner on the morning of December 3. Captain Bailey was called to the stand end gave his version of the affair. He denied the allegations of Captain Olson, Both masters were cross-examined. Ralph Moody appeared for Captain Bailey and Lawyer William P. Richardson conducted the examination for Captain Olson. Witnesses from Astoria were compelled to leave for home on the evening train and their testimony was taken. Captain Cann, who was on board the Tatoosh . on the morning of December 3, was the only Important witness. With a few excep tions he corroborated the statement of Captain Bailey. The balance of the witnesses gave evidence in regard to weather conditions and as to even which happened after the arrival of the Alliance in Astoria. The witnesses for Captain Olson were the last to be examined. They all told very much the same story and corrobo rated the statements previously made by Captain Olson. , KKGULATE SPEED OF BOATS Fort of Portland Passes Stringent Law Hc&urding -River Craft. The following law has just been en acted by the Port of Portland Commis sion: "Wher-'HS. The running of steamboats ion the Willamette Kiver between Ross Island and Swan Island at a greater peed than eight miles an hour, and be tween Ross island and the Associated Oil Company's dock north of Llnnton at a greater speed than 12 miles per liour, occasions great damage to prop erty along the banks of said river and to vessels moored alongside of wharves located and abutting on eaid river, and to log rafts moored alongside of the ibanks of said river, and to the drydock of the Port of Portland, located near St. John, and to the dredges of the J?ort of Portland when In operation ; therefore, the Port of Portland, pur suant to the authority conferred upon it by law, makes and establishes the following rules and regulations for the navigation of steam vessels within the .harbor of the Port of Portland between Ross Island on the south and the mouth of the Willamette River on the north, namely: "No stenm vessel shall be navigated on the Willamette River between Ross Inland and Swan Island at a speed of more than eight statute miles per hour. "No steam vessel shall be navigated on the Willamette River between Swan Island and the Associated Oil Com pany's dock north of Unnton at a speed of more than 12 statute miles per hour. "Every steam vessel passing the dry dock of the Port of Portland at St. John and the dredges of the Port of (Portland when at anchor in the Wil lamette. River, shall be navigated under a slow bell at a speed not more than six statute miles per hour. "Any person who shall run a steam vessel on the Willamette River between iRoss Island and the Associated Oil Company's dock north of L.innton at a (treater speed than hereinbefore provided ahall bo deemed to have committed a nuisance, and shall be punished therefor lor each offense, upon conviction before any court of this state having jurisdiction of actions for the recovery of fines or pen alties imposed by state laws, 'by a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($.t0.00 or jnore than two hundred and fifty dollars t&.r0.00) or by imprisonment in the County Jail of .Multnomah County, Oregon, for not less than 10 days nor more than 30 clays, or by both such tine and imprison ment at the discretion of the court." Acting in accordance with the authority p ranted by the state, the Port of Port land Commission passed the above act without a dissenting vote. The preamble and resolution are explanatory and will Siave the effect of stopping steamboat racing on the Willamette River. The matter has -been under consideration for pome time, hut the action of the Port of Portland Commission was hastened by the action of several steamboat masters who went through the harbor at full speed last Wednesday morning and caused considerable damage by swells to the Ger man steamship Alesia. of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company.

RITTER GETS DIVORCE Spouse Not in Court This Time to Dispute Her Charges Suits Be gun by Barbara Greene and Nettie JL. Bernard". Seven unhappy couples were made into 14 happy singles yesterday morning. Judge O'Day, of the Circuit Court, heard the seven wives tell of their troubles. In several instances the Iongdrawn-out tale of woe proved too much for even the Judge who has become accustomed to listen to tales of the seamy side of life, and he. cut the testimony short by telling the lawyers to take their decrees. Matilda Ritter succeeded yesterday in obtaining a divorce from George Fred erick Ritter. This is the second attempt which has been made by the Hitters to break this particular materimonial alli ance, and each of them had been divorced sevesal times from other mates before they became husband and wife. Contrary to expectations Ritter did not appear in the courtroom in person, but Lawyer Seneca Fouts was present to see that the decree was duly granted. In a voice which was hardly audible Mrs. Ritter said that her husband supported her for only two months after the wed ding, which took place at Portland, De cember 2, 1906. They went to live in a flat at First and Harrison streets. She said her husband was then earning $3 a day, but said he had no money to spend on her living, that she must earn that by renting some of the rooms. She said he once locked her in her room and she was compelled to call a neighbor in order to be released, making her exit through a window. Once he was so violent with her that she had to call a physician. Ritter was sent to the drug gist's for medicine, which cost 60 cents. Before he would give it to his wife he demanded to be reimbursed for it, saying, "You will never get this until you pay for it. And this is the last you will get. When you get up I am going to take up the carpets, and . take my furniture away." Mrs. Ritter continued: "When he was hungry he would buy bologna, doughnuts and sour wine. These he would eat by himself, sometimes on the front porch, sometimes in the kitchen. When I wanted him to purchase groceries and promised to cook them for him, he refused. He accused me several times of stealing his gold watch. "I was compelled to nurse for a living. It was his habit to inform the persons for whom I worked that I wasn't fit to work as a nurse. They would discharge me. Now I can't get a position as a nurse any more." Mrs. Ritter was permitted to resume her former name, Drake. Before the suit came to trial the plaintiff and defendant had stipulated ttiat the wife was to re ceive none of the husband's property. Ritter some months ago sought a divorce before Judge - Frazer, but the case was thrown out of court. Ritter added to the interest of the case by standing close beside the judge while Mrs. Ritter was testifying, and in his German brogue vehemently denying all her as sertions which did not meet his mind. In telling of the cruelties heaped upon her by Edward Burke, 'Marie C. Burke said that in March, 1907, while they were living at Holbrook, he entered the house at midnight, and seizing his wife by the throat proceeded to beat her head against the bed. "When I called his attention to the wounds he was inflicting, he replied. That's just what I want. I am going to finish you this time, for you cannot call for help." Mrs. Burke explained- that it was a mile to the 4 nearest . neighbor's. Freeing herself from his grasp she traveled the mile in the darkness. She said the assaults1 had become a com mon occurrence, and that once she would have been killed but for the intervention of neighbors. The couple married at Van couver, Wash., In November, 1902. The divorce was granted. Clara X. Prahl was granted a divorce from Julius F. Prahl after she had told how he threw her to the floor and stamped upon her, sometimes varying the treatment by bumping her head against the wall. They were married at St. Helens, June 6, 1S95. Other divorces granted were as follows: Lulu Luckey from Jesse Ray Luckey; married in Portland, November 5, 1905, desertion; resumed maiden name, Brous. Emma Scheurer from William M. Scheurer; married February 27, 1901, he deserted November 1L 1906; resumed former name, Mrs. Emma Harder. Charlotte Nordean from John Nordean, married In Multnomah County, April 6, 1907, cruelty. Dora D. Palmer from Charles B. Palmer: married at St. John, April 22, 1906, cruelty. Barbara Greene has filed suit against Harry G. Greene tn the Circuit Court. She desires a divorce because her husband deserted her December 12, 1905. They were married in Portland, January 11, 1S?4. Habitual drunkenness is the charge Nettle L. Bernard brings against her hus band, Otis S. Bernard. She says she married him at Colville, Wash., April 28, 1901, and that he began to go on long sprees three months later. Unable to endure his abuse she says she left him June 23, 1907. BARKER ESTATE APPRAISED Deceased Lumberman Property in This County Worth $533,694. The estate of Columbus C. Barker has been appraised by A. L. Mills, Charles Crogster and C A. Wood at $533,694, this being the figure for Multnomah County property alone.

Smi.Jison for de stroying a meter belonging to the com pany, was postponed yesterday In the Circuit Court until June 6. The continu ance was had upon the motion of the at torney for the defendant.
