TIIE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1903. 10 PAY 150,000 AND ARE GIVEN DEED Hexter & Strause, Butchers: Acquire Property Said to Be. Worth $100,000. COURT DECREE FULFILLED Firm Obtained Option on Property for $50,000 in 1905 Owner Then Refused to Sell and Butchers Brought Suit. Louis Hexter and Lehman Strause, of the Arm of Hexter & Strause. ac Quired the property on the southwest corner of Park and Morrison streets yesterday for $SOx on an option Riven three years ago. and recently confirmed bv the courts after considerable lit 1 nation. The former owner is Sarah A. Merrill. and the property Is said to be worth now about $100. 00ft. The sale was made as the result of a suit brought In the Circuit Court over two years ago, and carried to the Supreme Court. A decision in . the case was rendered by the latter re cently. The order of the court provided that upon the payment to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the $50,000. the deed should be made out in favor of the firm, which conducted a butcher shop on the corner over two years ago. June 8. 1905. the firm took an option on the property for 60 days, the con sideration to be $50,000. By the Fame agreement they were to pay Mrs. Mer rill $125 a month rent. Complaint had been made by the neighbors, as well as the Merrills', who resided in the build ing, of foul odors arising from the shop and as a result the butchers agreed to improve the basement and drainage system from the building; and by keep ing only fresh meat to eliminate all odors. Within the 60 days Hexter & Strause demanded their deed, offering the $50,000. The deed was refused and they therefore deposited the money with a local bank. A year later, on July 25. 1906. Mrs. Merrill filed a com plaint In the Circuit Court asking that the contract made In 1905 be set aside, and alleging that the marketmen had failed to make the improvements and had practiced fraud upon her. This was later disproven by the testimony. Had the contract been set aside by the Court the butchers wouid have been ousted from the premises. In reply to Mrs. Merrill's suit they brought a counter suit alleging that Mrs. Merrill refused to give them their deed according to agreement because of Increasing real estate values, the contract having been made during the exposition. judge Fraser decided that the con tract was binding and Mrs. Merrill ap pealed the case. She was represented as counsel by Governor Chamberlain, while Hester & Strause were repre sented by Senator Joseph Simon. Mrs. Merrill was at first represented by Attorney M. B. Keefer. When he discovered yesterday that the deal was about to be closed, he filed In the Cir cuit Court an attorney's lien for $500. for attorneys' fees. Shortly afterward he had a long conference with Mrs. Merrill's husband, however, and with drew the lien. Deputy County Clerk Lounsbury received the $50,000 and turned it over to Mrs. Merrill's attor ney, giving Hexter & Strause the deed. AUTO OWNER SEEKS DAMAGES K. P.

Baumgartner Is seeking to recover damages from the county. A hearing was had before Commissioners Llghtner and Barnes In the County Courtroom yesterday morn ing. The testimony of Baumgartner'a witnesses was that a steam roller was left standing In the road. This was not seen by the chauffeur until the speeding machine was upon the roller, when a quick swerve carried the auto mobile Into the wagons, which had been left In the ditch. Not only was the car damaged, but two wagon tongues were broken. The chauffeur testified that the ma chine was traveling at 10 miles an hour, while the engineer of the roller said that he did not believe an auto mobile going at that speed could do as much damage. He said also that a red light -was left burning high 1ft the wheel of the roller, while the chauf feur says that he saw none. He says that there were four wagons, while the workmen allege there were but two. The automobile party was Just return ing to Portland, about 10:30 P. M.

The follownig appeared In The Morning uregonian on Satur day, August 8: , I should like, to ask Postmaster Amblfr what he would do If an unstamped Irttff addressed to Mrs. Orover Cleveland at Princeton, N. J., should be posted In his office V Inaulred W. R. Hlnman. Assistant Superintendent Division of Salaries and Allowances or tne hosimster-uenerar oi nce. I should address a letter to Mrs. Cleve land and Inform her such a letter had been deposited In my office and that I would forward the same on receipt or a 2-cent tamp. responded tne rural postmaster. Well, that merely serves to Illustrate how little the average Postmaster knows of the technicalities of his work." replied Mr. Hinman, "for there Is a provision in the department rules and regulations which pro vides that postage is net required on let ters addressed to the wife of a' deceased President." This incident occurred yesterday In connection with the annual convention of the Presidential Postmasters' Asso ciation In the Portland Commercial Club rooms. The article continues: 'After being trapped himself by Mr. Hlnman, the Mount Angel Postmaster was game, etc. It was hoped and even expected, n Justice to Mr. Ambler, "the average Postmaster," and to the public In gen eral, that The Oregonian reporter would present the facts as they devel oped. However, aa this was purposely or otherwise neglected, the truth is hereby set forth. At the beginning of the afternoon session of the convention Saturday, August 8, Mr. Hlnman addressed the convention as follows: "I wish to state that Postmaster Ambler, of Mount An gel, Is correct In his answer yesterday to my question concerning the letter without postage addressed to Mrs. Grover Cleveland." Now, this public acknowledgment of his own error on the part of the As sistant Superintendent of Salaries and Allowances is in marked contrast with his utterance on the day previous, that Mr. Ambler's answer merely serves to Illustrate how little the average Post master knows of the technicalities of his work." Mr. Hlnman's excuse foij his apparent ack of knowledge on technical points of postal law Is that he intended to use the name of Mrs. McKInley Instead of Mrs. Cleveland. The public will please accept the gentleman's excuse. By special acts of Congress the wives of deceased Presidents have been granted special privilege in mall mat ters. Section 610. P. X. and R.. of 1902. and Section1 510, Supplement of the P. L. and R-. read as follows: Section 610. P. L R. All mall matter addressed to Julia D. Grant, widow of the ate Ulysses S. Grant, and Lucretla R. Gar field, widow of the late President James It. Garfield, or sent by them under their re spective written autograph signature wfll. n pursuance of trie several acts of congress. be conveyed free of postage during their respective natural lives. Section 210. par. 2. Bup. to the P. L. & All mall matter sent by post by Ida S. McKInley, widow of the late William Mc KInley. under her written autograph signa ture, will be conveyed free of postage during her natural life. From the above it Is plain that Mrs. McKinley's franking privilege was re stricted to mall matter dispatched and in no way did it apply to mail matter received by her. It may be well presumed that the same token of respect will be conferred upon Mrs. Grover Cleveland by a spe cial act of the next Congress, but until that time her mall matter must be treated-ln the usual way. The Postmaster at Mount Angel is etlll of the opinion that it is far better to make a close study of the postal laws and other instructions issued from the Postofflce Department than to de pend upon verbal and too often pre sumptuous knowledge of others. - T.

K::mM&m Y 1 7 BUILD BRICK BLOCK Six-Story Warehouse for Blake, McFall & Co. PAY $65,000 FOR SITE Wholesale Paper-Dealers Acquire -Fourth-Street Frontage of "Dex ter" Be Property, Improved Which Will at Once. Blake, McFall & Co. yesterday conclud ed a deal for the Fourth-street frontage of the Dexter property. This piece is 125 feet on Fourth street, 105 on the sou side of Ankeny and 101 along the line of the Marshall-Wells Company building. The sale was effected through the agency of W. B. Streeter and the figure at which the deal was closed was a little over $65,000. This eale was referred to In The Oregonian a few days ago as having been made for the Mercantile Investment Company, who owned the half black, but at that time the purchaser's name was withheld, upon request, as future plans had not then been determined on. Blake. McFall & Co. announce their In tention to erect on the site a six or seven story building to be occupied by the firm as a paper warehouse and salesroom offices, etc. With the completion of the building of the Pacific Paper Company and the one now announced, the locality will become a center of that character of wholesale and retail trade, for already within a few blocks are located stationery stores and commercial printing offices, with others to be located before the close of tile year. The new building will probably cost from $60,000 to $70,000. Judging from the cost of similar buildings of recent con etruction. Until the architects have re ported on plans and specifications, how ever, a more accurate estimate cannot be made. Mall & Von Borstel yesterday reported the sale of the southwest corner of East Twenty-fourth street and Sandy boule vard for L. Olsen to P. J. Melis. It is said to be the purchaser's intention to build on the site at once. The purchase prlca was not reported. YEOX BUYS QUARTER-BLOCK Dr. Andrew C. Smith Sells Corner for $65,000. John B. Teon announced yesterday the purchase from Dr. Andrew C. Smith of the southeast corner of Sixth and Everett streets, the consideration be ing $65,000. This figure is about on a par with recent purchases in that vicinity. A lot at the -corner of Sixth and Hoyt was sold last week to J. F. Moore, of Fort Worth, Texas, for $30,000, and another on Sixth near Irv ing sold by' E. H. James for the same consideration. Dr. Smith bought on Seventh, between Gllsan and Hoyt, from Monastes & Burke, for $65,000. It is announced by these purchasers that the sites are to be built upon, with the exception of the property bought by Mr. Yeon. In that case, the Intentions of the buyer could not be learned last night. FIND NO TRACE OF STEVENS OFFICIAL- SEEKS IX VAIX FOR RICH BRIDEGROOM. Report That He Is Hiding in His Apartments ""Vigorously Denied at Madison-Park. Vigorous denial Is made at the Madison-Park apartment-house, Park and Madison streets, that T. M. Stevens, whose sensational matrimonial entan glements are causing him many trou bles, is occupying his apartments. Equally vigorous denials were made to officials by the proprietor of the house. Stevens is said to be spending his honeymoon out of the city, but persist ent rumors have been to the effect that he has simply been in hiding or seclu sion at his apartments. This, however. Is denied by the proprietor of the place, though there are reasons to believe that Stevens' honeymoon has not ex tended beyond the city limits. "The clever young man who tried to get funny in an afternoon paper is not as wise as he thinks he is," said the proprietor. "Mr. Stevens is not at the Madison-Park, and has not been here for several days." So insistent were certain officials In locating Stevens and so dubious were they of his departure from the apartment-house, that the proprietor took oath as to his absence from his estab lishment. So Mr. Stevens' honeymoon is free from annoyance and worry. However, W.' H. Stevens said yester day that the bride and groom would likely return at any hour. He ex pected them last night, and not later than today. Then,t he said, Mr. Stevens would likely explain the dilemma in which he Is supposed to-be situated. The District Attorney's office Is in vestigating various details in connec tion with the case. It is generally be lieved that Mr. Stevens will appear in the city today. Mr. Stevens succeeded in foiling the efforts of A. E. Clark, attorney for Mrs. Louise Powell-Stevens, for when at tachment papers were served on the United "States National Bank to tie up the money he had on deposit there, it was found that there was only $204 to his credit. However, Attorney Clark predicts that sufficient property will still be attached to cover the amount sued for. LAFE PENCE TO EXPLAIN Signs Big Bond With Judgments Pending Against Him. Lafe Pence, late Congressman from Colorado, and more lately promoter of various and sundry local schemes for mak ing millions, will have to explain Just how he comes to have property or assets worth $10,000 in Multnomah County. He will have to make this explanation before Justice of the Peace Bell and no matter which way he explains it may be un pleasant for him. Pence, as will be recalled, signed a bond of $10,000 several days ago for the release from custody of Jackson Reld, the lad who shot and killed George De Mars at the Exposition Grounds. The bond waa accepted and might never have been ques tioned except for one thing. There are no less than three Judgments standing against the man from Colorado, but the Sheriff has never been able to discover any tangible property upon which to base & levy. If he really has assets worth $10,000, the authorities want to know it In order that the Judgments may be satis. fied. If he hasn't the money then the bond is worthless and through swearing to It, Pence may get into trouble. The Constable is now looking for Pence In order to escort the bondsman into the Justice Court on supplemental proceed ings. But the Pence stamping grounds do not seem to be easily accessible, and thus far, after 48 hours of search, Pence Is still safe from the annoyance of having to ex. plain. SPEAKS AT CAMPMEETING 1 H.

Interpreters Fight Shy at Sicilian's Case Wild - Eyed Latin Hints Darkly About Ilr.uk Hand, and Portland Italians Decide to Keep Hands Off. JOE PHILIPPE, a wild-eyed, long haired fanatic from Sicily, escaped conviction of a charge of larceny. In the Municipal Court yesterday forenoon, be cause none of his countrymen would testify against him or act as Interpreter In his case. Making it known that be was a member of some mysterious black hand aggregation, Philippe muttered something In his native tongue to each of five prospective interpreters brought Into court and each of them hastily with drew from the oase, saying they dldn t wish to have anything to do with tne matter. Among those who declined, to interest themselves in the Sicilian's case were John Cordano, a real estate man, and Albert Ferrera, well known as a lawyer. While the prisoner s hints about belong ing: to a black hand organization were not taken seriously, yet It was the current be lief among local Italians that he is a fanatic and likely to bear deadly malice against anyone who might take side against him. The charge against Philippe wag that of stealing $60 from a room in the North End. Italian witnesses did not appear to testify and could not be found. Consequently the oase fell through. Philippe was given five days In which to enter upon some useful vocation, the al ternative being 90 days of hard labor at the rorkpile. Amusements What the Prat Affenta Sar Biff Show at The Oaks.

For the purpose of arranging for the purchase of 20 acres of land lying be tween property already owned by the institution, there was a meeting of the Regents of the Oregon Agricultural College in the office of Attorney W. W. Cotton In this city yesterday morning. Mr. Cotton was absent from the meet ing, but a number of the other regents attended. Among those in attendance were Governor Chamberlain, J. H. Ack erman. Superintendent of Public In struction; A. H. Buxton, president of the State Grange; and Regents W. P. Keady. Portland; J. T. Apperson. Ore gon City; W. W. Pierce. Hot Lake; J. D. Olwell, Central Point; B. F. Irvln, Corvallis; E. E. Wilson. Corvallis,; W. J. Kerr, president of the college facul ty; and Regent Mrs. Clara B. Waldo, Salem. ' Twenty acres of land lying along side and between the property already owned by the Agricultural College has been a source of hindrance to the progress of the institution. At the time the site of the college was select ed, title to this property could not be secured and consequently the college buildings and land surround it. It was decided at the meeting to pur chase the 20 acres, which will cost from $1200 to $3000 an acre. The purchase will be made at once and the property will be a valuable acquisition to the college. The Agricultural College is in splen did condition, according to J. is.. Weatherford, of the college, who ar rived In Portland yesterday. There will be between 1500 and 3000 students in attendance next year, he predicts, and in order td accommodate them it will be necessary to ask for an addi tion to the administration building. "I noticed that the recent good roads conference recommended that the col lege establish a chair of road-building In connection with our engineering de partment," he said. "As a matter of fact, we have had sucn a cnair ior a long time, but will increase its use fulness and employ more assistants." Average Crop In Union County. LA GRANDE, Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.)
