Myers will oontest, ap pealed irom the County Court to the Cir cuit Court, Is being heard before Judge Bronaugh. No additional testimony Is being taken, counsel for both Mrs. Georgia Frances Stevens, the plaintiff, and George T. Myers, Jr., the defendant, confining themselves to the. reading of the stenographer's transcribed notes. Judge Webster decided that the will is invalid, taking the position that the elder Myers, well-known throughout Ore gon as a wealthy salmon packer, and at one time prominent in Oregon politics, was insane when 'he signed ids will. He cut his daughter off with S20.000, giving his son the balance of an estate said to be worth upwards of UoO.000. She con tends that this was because he thought she was over-friendly with a Dr. Robin son, whom the aged Myers accused of causing hla wife's death. With the set ting aside of the will by Judge Webster, the property went In equal proportions to the two heirs. George T. Myers, Jr.,' appealed the case to the Circuit Court, and It Is probable that it will go to the Supreme Court. As the testimony in the case Is volumin ous, it is not probable that it will be submitted to Judge Bronaugh this week. Attorneys Henry E. McGinn and H. H.

Vonng Scow-Dweller Found With Valuable Property Belonging to' Wenlthy Portlanders. Samuel Dunn, 19 years old, a scow dweller, and characterized by the police as the worst "river rat" who has op erated along the waterfront for a long time, "was arrested at 6:30 o'clock last night by Detective Coleman for a series of burglaries In the aristocratic colony of houseboats jxist above the Inman Poulsen mill on the east side of the river. Numberjd among Dunn's victims are William Ladd. C. A. Ambrose, F. M. Stokes and George Eastman. The plunder stolen from his victims, who number many more than those already known, is valued at several hundred dol lars. This stolen property was found In Dunn's scow, near the mill, by Detective Coleman last night, and was seized and taken to the police station. The list In cludes clothing, tools. Instruments and furnishings. Various articles have been identified as taken from the houseboats of Messrs. Ladd. Stokes. Eastman and Ambrose. Mr. Stokes, who called at the police station after the arrest, having Identified fully $50 worth of property as having been taken from him. All of the houseboats broken Into had been tied up for the Winter and were un occupied. A recent visit of a caretaker revealed the robberies. It is thought that Dunn has been operating with a free hand for several weeks. Detective Coleman pained information which fastened suspicion on Dunn, and, accom panied by Mr. Stokes, the officer went to Dunn's scow last night armed with a search warrant. Dunn was arrested and taken to the City Jail on a charge of va grancy, pending the filing of the formal complaint of burglary. Quite a bundle of property Is in the hands of the police and will be held at the police station awaiting identifica tion. Dunn Is said by the police to have been idle for many months and they be lieve that he has perpetrated all the rob beries which have been of recent occur rence along the Willamette River. STOLEN TROUSERS FOUND Police), However, Hesitate to Direst Present Wearer. iBert Walling, a young man of 21, who came here recently from Denver, is In the County Jail because he was parading the streets yesterday afternoon decked out In a pair of striped trousers belonging to C. Wilson, engineer on the steamer Georgia Burton. The trousers were stolen from the Couch-street dock on Wednesday. But while Wilson has located the trous ers he stands no show of ever getting them back. For Wailing has them on. The only other pair of trousers he has owned In recent years no wrepose in the Wil lamette River, for it seems Walling dis posed of his worn out trousers on se curing the new ones. He says, of course, tht he bought them from some stranger. Wilson wants the trousers back, for they are fancy and cost quite a bit. The authorities are at a loss, however, as to what to do In the matter. Constables Wagner and Kleman, who arrested the supposed thief, found that if they got the trousers off Walling that luckless In dividual would have to go the way of old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard that time she went to get her dog a bone.

GOES MM Finds No Support in Council . for North End Crusade. COLLEAGUES HOLD ALOOF He Will Present Evidence Against Saloonkeeper Blazier at Meeting of Liquor License Commit tee This Afternoon.' Councilman Wills Is scheduled to pre sent his evidence against Ed Blazier be fore the liquor-license committee of the City Council at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and a lively session is anticipated. Thus far, Mr. Wills has found no support what ever among his colleagues, who appear to be out of sympathy with his recent de scent upon the North End. Prior to the raid which was directed by him on the Blazier saloon, and the arrest of -another saloonkeeper at his Instance, he had the hearty support of the majority faction of the Council, of which he was a mem ber. The Council has shown an Inclination to date to discredit Mr. Wills' efforts along the lines of reform, and has re fused to stand by him for the reason, one of the members says, "that Mr. Wills' political aspirations have led him to take up tho North End crusado as a means to win votes." Mr. Wills, however, de clares that his actions were the result of a desire to Investigate conditions, to see if rumors that had been wafted to him were true. He found things worse than he had expected, he says, and his denunciation of the police and of the Lane administration in general is em phatic. In the Municipal Court, Mr. Wills pre sented such strong evidence that 33 po ker players, arrested In the raid on Bla zier's saloon, instructed their attorney to enter pleas of guilty In their behalf. They were fined $5 each and Blazier was fined $i5. Mr. Wills now demands the revocation of Blazier's license, and It for the reason that he placed charges against the saloonkeeper that the special session of the liquor-license committee is to be held this afternoon. Councilman Wills failed to secure the revocation of the license of Max Zetosch, proprietor of a North End saloon, whom he charged with selling liquor to an in toxicated man. Municipal Judge Van Zante also acquitted Zetosch, who was defended by Isaac Swett, a member of Mayor Lane's Executive Board. Mr. Wills, in his written report to the li cense committee, said that the evidence was sufficiently strong for - conviction, but that he did not expect a conviction when he saw Mr. Swett, "Mayor Lane's right bower, and Mayor Lane's appoint ee (Judge Van Zante) on the bench hand ling the case." Another matter which Is said to have weight with certain inember3 of the Coun cil In these so-called "Wills cases," is that Mr. Wills was strong In support of the Cellars anti-women-in-saloons meas ure, to which the majority faction took violent exception. Mr. Wills, up to the time, had stood with the faction on near ly every matter, but he saw fit then to Bupport the Cellars ordinance, and later voted with othi.-s to sustain Mayor Lane's veto of the Rushlight amendment to the Cellars law, which was said by many to have been framed to annul the Cellars law. As matters now stand, It appears that Councilman Wills has very little, if any, support among his colleagues of the ma jority, with whom he formerly stood. Even the case of M. M. Matosln, keeper of a saloon in the North End, whose li cense was recommended by the liquor license committee for revocation, has been re-referred to the committee, which Is said to indicate that there Is no Intention whatever to revoke It, and which, fur ther. Is evidence of disapproval of the action of Mr. Wills in Invading the place on his memorable tour of the notorious district. SAYS POLICEMAN1 GAVE CIGARS TO BOY WITNESS. Lawyer Threatens Investigation of Policeman Who Worked Up Case Against Colored Women. Patrolmen Sims and Ackerman were accused of rewarding an 18-year-old witness in a Municipal Court case with presents of cigars, yesterday forenoon. The charge was made by "Attorney John F. Logan, who had been representing two colored women, charged with getting around the Lane reform barriers by os tensibly conducting a small cigar stand. The charge against the women was preferred by the two officers on a story told them by a red-cheeked, blushing farmer boy named Swales of Clackamas County. This unsophis ticated youngster went into the cigar stand, near Second and Fland ers streets, and asked for some to bacco. One of tho women es sayed to chuckle him under the chin, so he says, and the other said but at that moment he rushed outdoors in horror and there, right In front by a lucky chance or mischance, stood the two officers. In righteous Indignation the lad unwound his tale, the women were arrested and the officers were on hand to see that the practice of shock ing the finer sensibilities of farmer boys received a setback. Now, Mr. Logan Insisted that the 'of ficers were a little too zealous all the way through. He wondered why they were waiting in front of that place when the boy came out, and why he had gone to their place for a little to bacco when better qualities might be had at less cost up town. i The court imposed a nominal fine of $15. 1 Three minutes later Mr. Logan was hack in the courtroom to emphasize his suggestion that the youth had been in duced to testify as he did. Said he: "Aa I passed out the door I saw the boy and the officers there and noticed one of them handing htm a cigar. I knew they had framed up this case, but I didn't expect them to reward their wit ness right here under the nose of the court. And I believe there is a law against providing minors .with tobacco, anyway." The officers vigorously denied hav ing given the boy cigars. An investi gation of the incident may follow.

The Sixth and Hoyt-street corner of the market will be fitted up as a banking office and occupied as a branch of one of the well-known local banks, which will be very convenient for stallkeepers, as all banking facilities can be obtained without leaving the building. The bank will be open Sat urday evening's also for the accommo dation of its patrons. Plans for this building have been prepared by Goodrich & Goodrich, architects in the Fenton . building, and the construction work will be started as soon as the excavating is completed, as it is hoped to have the building finished before April 30.
