Improved Streets Needed. If the Jefferson High School is completed and occupied by February the students will have to be transported In mud-boats. There are no Improved streets leading to or around this splendid building, and none is in prospect of being improved very soon. Efforts have been made to improve Kerby, Sumner and Emerson streets, but it cannot be done this year. There is a disposition to hold off im proving any of the streets in North Alblna until after sswers are laid. The City Engineer, who Is preparing plans for the sewer system, says it will be March before the contract can be let and work started. It will take a year and a half to comrtete the work. Prominent residents insist that the Improvement ef the streets about the high school building ought, not to be held Iff for two or three years, even if the sewers are not laid. Road Taxes Stat in Milwaukie Through the efforts of Mayor Streib the entire sum, $1100. collected for road taxes in Milwaukie has been secured for the use of the Milwaukie road district. Of this sum 60 per cent was allotted to the district some time ago, but Mayor Streib insisted that the. district ought to have the whole amount collecced,, with the result that the Clackamas County Court allotted the remaining 40 per cent. City Auditor Dowling said yesterday that the money will be used to repair the streets and bridges of the district. The securing of the entire road money is considered a victory for the flavor and city, as it set tled the contention held in Milwaukie that road taxes collected ought to be used at home.

The mysterious disappearance of Elmer Buren, the chief witness against Frank Watson, accused of the larceny of $400 by the fake racing game, has caused the police to suspect that Buren has been reimbursed for part of his money and in duced to refrain from testifying against Watson. Buren could not be found when Watson's case was called yesterday morning In the Municipal Court. He had been living at the St. Charles Hotel. At this place It is not known where he is. He had been released the day before on $50 cash bail, having been detained as a witness against Watson. The swindle is an old-time one and one which has been worked with great frequency in this city during the past few months. Buren. who Is a tourist from Midas. New, was approached on the street by a total stranger who struck ap an acquaintance with- him apd these two encountered a third man. This last man told of a secret wire-tapping by which he got information on the result of the races before they were received In the poolroom where the bets are taken. Buren saw a bet or two made at fake poolroom which ostensibly won and was Induced to play himself. While he was taking out his money. Watson reached into Buren's pocketbook and taking out $400 insisted that it go Into the fake game. too. Buren was notified that he had lost the moment he had put up his money.

Steen's Former "Salesman Con firms Woman's Story That Em ployer Beat Her Cruelly. Arrest Is Result, E. R- Steen, a sewing machine agent who conducts a store at 383 East Morri son street, was arraigned . before Judge Bennett yesterday morning- in the Munici pal Court and held to await the action of the grand Jury on the charge of hav ing assaulted with intent to kill Miss Louisa Stoetz. of 153 Thirteenth street. The assault took place in the rear room of Steen's ' store on the evening of Friday, October 22. Miss Stoetz was seri ously hurt, the bones in her. lower Jaw on both sides were broken and she re ceived other serious injuries which con fined her to the hospital for two weeks, and at one time placed her in a critical condition. She was still weak and very nervous when she appeared In the court room yesterday morning, her head and Jaws swathed in bandages. Several witnesses were examined, most of them Steen's employes, who seemingly tried to shield their employer. Steen did not testify. The story of the assault hinged upon the fact that Miss Stotez, who had been friendly with Steen. had lent him $4000 for the purpose of engaging in the sew ing machine business, with the under standing that marriage between them wasP to follow, and that after a long time, during which he had paid her nothing, he repudiated the debt and de fied her to prove that he owed her any thing at all. Miss Stoetz testified that when Steen repudiated the alleged agreement, she called him a cur, and that he retaliated by raining blows upon heas she 6at in a rocking chair. Throwing her to, the floor, she said, he kicked her brutally until a great crowd collected in front of the store, when he threatened to kill her If she called for help. George Backum, a salesman for Steen, said that he had found Steen beating Miss Stoetz In an ' i .idescribably brutal manner on the floor, and that when he tried to pull Steen off from her and cause him to desist. Steen had turned on him and struck him repeatedly and driven him out into the street. Mrs. D. Green and Frank Tut f, other em ployes of the store, plainly showed their sympathy for Steen. Since the trouble betweei Miss Stoetz It has been shown that St sn made an assignment of his business. Judge Ben nett said that he thought the case one of deplorable brutality. YEON PLANS. SKYSCRAPER Fifteen-Story Store and Office Build ing Submitted to Contractors. Plans have been received here by John B. Yeon for a building which he is con templating building on his property of & quarter block at the northeast corner of Fifth and Alder streets. The plans are for a 15-story structure of steel and con crete construction and the cost is esti mated at .over 5500,000. Mr. Yeon stated yesterday that there was nothing definite about the erection of this building and was averse to saying much about it until he had fully made up his mind. He has had the plans prepared and has submitted them to the various contractors in the city fori provisional bids, but has explained to the contractors that there is nothing sure about his building. "I have not decided as yet," said Mr. Yeon. "I may build and if several mat ters still to be arranged can be settled I will go ahead with'the plans, but I would have to receive bids within the estimates and there are other matters which would have to be settled. I do not want to say I am going to build until I am sure. The tenants on the property hold no leases and re merely renting from month to month and if I decide to build I shall .be able to start after 30 days' notice. "If I build I shall erect a 15-story build ing, with stores on the first floor and offices on the upper 14 floors. Of course, the building would be fireproof and the plans would make it not only the largest, but the finest building in the city. But future developments will have to deter mine whether or not I shall go ahead with the plans. Rnfd Bros., of San Fran cisco, are the architects. They designed The Oregonian building here and many great office building in San Francisco." PERSONALMENTIQN. O. A. Bergcr, of Seattle, is staying at the Lenox. The Rev. F. M.
