CHANCE GIVEN FOR BONDS Previous Broken Promise Spoils Chance for Mercy New Law Is Invoked ' for First Time In -Multnomah County. In sentencing Robert Forrest, a sing er In a moving-picture show, to one year on the rockplle, as a result of his failure to support his wife. County Judge Cleeton yesterday put Into ef fect for the first time In this county the new law that can compel a neglect- ful husband to work for the county on he rock pile for $1.60 a day to pay for the support of his wife After the sentence was pronounced Judge Cleeton was induced to allow Forrest until Monday to secure a bond of $480 to Insure future support of the neglected wife. If the bond is not forthcoming at that time, the sentence Imposed upon Forrest will be enforced, and Instead of entertaining audiences In a moving-picture show the next 12 months, he will break rock under the watchful eye of a guard, and the money -he earns will not reach his pockets, but will go Into the hands of Mrs. Forrest. Previous Promise Broken. Forrest's appeal to the court for mercy resulted In his receiving a lec ture from the Judge concerning the re sponsibilities of married life. When arrested on a previous occasion for the same offense, Forrest had promised Judge Webster that if permitted to go he would pay his wife a certain pro portion of his weekly salary, and In re fusing to listen to Forrest's promises. Judge Cleeton said that he not only had broken faith with the woman he had promised to support, but that he had betrayed the trust put In him by the court also. "You are only 28 years old," said the court, "and you appear to be a man capable of doing better than you have. You must learn that marriage Involves serious obligations that you cannot throw off lightly. You have had the opportunity to Improve, and you have failed, and I cannot see that there Is anything remaining for me to do In your case except to send you to the rock pile." While the singer's pretty child wife, who is only 17, leaned forward intent ly, listening to all that was being said, some of Forrest's friends joined him in making a plea for another chance to keep his promise, but these appeals were ineffective, and the court re mained firm in the determination to make the man work for the county. At last the request for time In which to furnish a bond was made, and after carefully considering It, the court gave Forrest until Monday In which to ob tain a surety. Wife Cannot Work. It is charged by .Mrs. Forrest that her husband, although earning a good salary, has forced her to work as a housekeeper for her own support. It was not until she discovered that the prospect of a newcomer would cause her to give up her work that she ap pealed to the court for aid. For a time Forrest gave her $15 a month, but when he left the city and went to Eastern Oregon with a moving-picture show, she realized that he probably would escape from the jurisdiction of the court, and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest and he was- brought back to Portland. Since assuming his office. County Judge Cleeton has showed a tendency to be strict In cases of non-support, but yesterday was the first time that he has found it necessary to resort to a rockplle sentence.

HUGE SLUSH MADE IN ASPHALT BIDS Barber Company Makes Low est Tender for Paving Ever Known in Portland. BITTER CONTEST IS RAGING As Result of Contractors' War Price of $1.60 Square Yard Is Offered" on Job on Montgomery Street. Bitulithic Also Drops. Asphalt pavement at $1.60 a square yard, the bid of the Barber Asphalt Pav ing Company submitted yesterday after noon to the Executive Board, is taken as outward evidence of the fact that one of the fiercest paving wars in the history of the city is in progress. En gaged in this battle are the Barber Com pany, the Warner-Quinlan Company, of Tv'ew York, and the Oregon Independent Company, of Portland. The Barber Asphalt Paving Company has made the greatest ,cut in prices so far, and it is said the concern will lose about 7 cents a square yard if the Exec utive Board awards it the contract for the work bid upon yesterday afternoon. Its proposal was much less than those of all the others, and on three streets where competition was red-hot, fell below the estimate of City Engineer Morris $21,000. The Barber Company is the pioneer firm in the city, and Is allied with the great concern bearing its name which operates throughout the country. Eastern Company Tries to Break In. The Warner-Quinlan Company is a large firm with ' headquarters In New York, which has undertaken to "break into" the local field. It has maintained an agent here for several weeks and has bid twice on work each time, however, above a competitor. The Oregon Independent Paving Com pany is composed of local capitalists, and has secured some contracts. It has not met the opposition shown the Warner Quinlan Company, the supposition being it 4s not so formidable a rival. Mayor Simon, City Engineer Morris and Messrs. Corbett, Piatt and Smith, of the street committee" of the Executive Board, heard with much pleasure the reading of the bids at the meeting yesterday after noon. They are elated with what they consider the successful efforts of the ad ministration to reduce the price of" hard surface paving here, as promised by the Mayor shortly after he assumed, office. Competition Hot on Three Streets. There were three streets for which competition on asphalt was hot yester day, and the one upon which the Barber Asphalt Company put in its hid of $1.60 a square yard Is a residence street. On a four-Inch concrete base, this Is far" be low any proposal ever submitted; this even deducting the one-Inch difference in base on a business street, where the specifications call for a base of five inches concrete. This was on Montgomery street, from First to Sixteenth. The bid of the Bar ber Asphalt Company is $1.60 a square yard; total, $30,042; the Warner-Quinlan Company, $1.69 a square yard; total, $32, 561; Oregon Independent Company, $1.80; total. $34,701. On Fourth street, from Jefferson to Sheridan, the Barber Company bid $1.80 a square yard, total, $49,129; the Warner Quinlan Company. $1.89, total, $51,517; Oregon Independent Company, $1.95, total, $54,906. This is on specifications calling for a five-inch base, and is the cheapest rate ever quoted for this class of work In Portland. Amounts of Bids Made. On Sixteenth street, from Washing ton to Thurman. the Barber Company made the same bid, aggregating $45,436, and the Warner-Quinlan Company bid amounted to $46,740. The Oregon Inde pendent Company did not bid on this street- The Warner Construction Company, for bitulithic pavement, bid $54,000 for the improvement of Alberta street, and the Pacific Bridge Company, for the same kind of pavement, bid $74,000. All the bids were referred to the street commit tee and will be considered next Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mayor Simon and the members of the street committee have been endeavoring for months to lower the prices of all kinds of paving. The companies laying bitulithic are the' slowest to meet the reduction, and the Mayor has announced that no more contracts will be awarded for this kind of work until the rate Is lowered materially. With competition as keen as It is for asphalt, the Mayor de- K.f ffLf118 wiU be lald ln Preference to bitulithic unless the Warren Construc tion Company and the Pacific Bridge Company see fit to meet the rates of their competitors. TDe Board. yesterday afternoon awarded nr i!l,nelGieCh & JopUn the contract for building the north branch of the Brooklyn sewer for $247,000. This Is de signed to drain the southwest slope of Mount Tabor westward to Marguerite avenue, and is one of the.most Important sewers yet ordered. The successful firm Is the one which built the main Brooklyn sewer, accepted by the Simon admmls tration after the Lane regime had f1 ed over it for months This Is said to be giving satisfaction now SUES HUBBY FOR $300 Money Due Her for Agreeing to Live With Him In Question. h J?,, Was 8riven Permission Ty the Circuit Court yesterday to prosecute her suit against Fred Meier her husband, for $300, still due her .I,. ?V,ns asreed to return and live with him after they had separated A demurrer tiled by Meier's attorney at tacked her right to sue him for the money, and after It was argued before Judge Morrow yesterday he decided there was no legal reason why she should be prevented from trying to force the payment of the money. In order to get his wife to return to him, Meier had promised her that he would give her $1000, $700 of which he immediately paid in the form of a note that had been given to him by a third person and which he transferred to his wife. If Mrs. Meier wins her case, her hus band will not only lose the $1000 he has paid her to return to him, hut will probably lose her also as the result of divorce proceedings. Ten divorce cases, which were not contested, were heard by Judge Morrow yesterday, and In each case he said the decree would be granted. These divorces are: Nellie N. Keller, from George S. Kel ler, for intemperance; Sarah Malone, from Thomas Malone, for desertion Violet Kickusch, from Gus Klckusch' for desertion; Matilda Wharton, from Gerald Wharton, for desertion; Edith E. Lynn, from John W. Lynn, for cru elty; Susie Shipley, from Roy W. Ship ley, for cruelty; Leila Hastings, from James J. Hastings, for desertion; Nan cy S. Kramer, from Henry J. Cramer, for Intemperance, and Amelia E. Relly from Charles S. Relly, for desertion. Mary Andrews, in her divorce com plaint, filed against J. H. Andrews, asked the court to award the custody of their two children to their father, and that she might have the right to see them when she wished to do so. The children are a boy of 4 years and a girl of 6 years. Her divorce com plaint was based on the charge that her husband had unjustly accused her of unfaithfulness to him. Lulu E. Rlnehart sued James H. Rinehart yesterday for a divorce, on the grounds of desertion. They were married ln Texas September 3, 1884, and have six children, which the moth er asks to be given to her. HUSBAND'S LIFE WORTH $4500 Suing; for $7500, Mrs. Annie P. Sullivan Wins Verdict ln Court. Mra Annie P. Sullivan was awarded $4500 from Robert Wakefield and William Jacobsen by a jury last night in Judge Gantenbein's court, for the death of her husband. William Sullivan, from being struck by a falling pile while employed by the defendants. Mrs. Sullivan sued for $7500. Wakefield and Jacobson had the con tract for excavating for the new plant of the National Ice & Cold Storage Com pany, at East Washington and East First streets. The evidence showed that on April 7, 1909, Sullivan was killed by the falling of a pile, which had been leaned from the bottom of the excavation to the sidewalk above, and which was shaken from Its1 position by the Jarring of the plledriver. Negligance on the part of the contractors was alleged. MEETING TO BE CALLED COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO COSVEXE MARCH 18. Action to Be Taken on Recommenda tions of State Committee Con cerning Assembly. Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the Multnomah County ' Republican Central Committee, today will call a meeting of the committee for next Fri day night, March 18. The conference will be held in the assembly hall of the Portland Commercial Club. At this time the committee will be ex pected to formulate some definite plan of procedure looking to the holding of a county assembly or adopting some other plan for selecting delegates from this county to the State Assembly, which has been fixed by the Republl-. can State Central Committee for July 21. Ever since the state committee met a- month ago many members of the committee have been desirous of hold ing a meeting for the consideration of details preliminary to the State As sembly and determining the method for choosing this county's quota of representation in that gathering. Other members of the committee have Insisted that plenty of time remained in which these questions could be worked out and not in any way em barrass the assembly movement. There Is a general sentiment among the Re publicans of the county for the assem bly. The only point of difference is on the question of when the county committee should be assembled for the purpose of formulating a plan of ac tion. "Some members of the committee for several days have been urging me to call the fu'l committee together," said Major Kennedy yesterday. "They feel that the time has arrived when the committeemen should get together and talk over the situation, preliminary to deciding on some definite method of procedure. The purpose of the meet lng is to. take some action on the rec ommendatlons of the State Committee respecting the assembly." GOOD THINGS IN THE PORTLAND MARKETS BY LILIAN" TINGLE. AN OLD English country tradition says that Spring has come when you can pet your foot on three daisies at once. In Portland It is fairly safe to say that Spring has come when you can cast your eye on three bunches of asparagus and three Spring hats at once. There are of course many other signs the buds on the lilacs, the baseball-mlt on the small boy and the hop-scotch diagrams on the pavement; but none of these applies to the markets. The pre vlous sign does; end I saw It yesterday. t&esldes asparagus, costing 20" to 35 cents a bunch, there are new dandelions, field lettuce, watercress, chicory, leeks. Spring cabbage and cabbage sprouts, spinach. radishes and Spring onions, all doing their best to make you forget the cheaper Winter vegetables and lure you to open wider your careful pocketbook. Mushrooms at $1.50 are not for every one, nor are hothous peas, beans, cucum bers and peppers. Celery, sweet, potatoes and artichokes are getting scarcer, but there are good cauliflowers and celeriac for dainty dishes at comparatively mod erate prices. In the fruit market, alligator pears are new at 50 cents each, and choice pink rhubarb at 25 cents a pound. Rhu barb of not so choice a quality is to be had at 10 cents. There are good pine apples at about 40 cents each, and the usual supply of oranges, grapefruit and apples at prices about the same as last week. Eggs we are all Interested ln them, I think Oregon fresh eggs are now to be had at 25 cents a dozen, or two dozen for 46 cents. The adorable and variable omelet should return to Its honored place in the daily menu. Poultry, however, continues as- high priced as ever If not more so, and meat of most kinds is also inclined to be higher. Those of us who prefer a practically meatless diet will not mind this1 ln view Of declining egg rates, but there are some who will view with dismay the "flying porterhouse. " In the fish market smelt are still low in price, 6 or 8 pounds for a quarter, or $1 a box. Butter clams are new at about 5 cents a pound. Striped bass is again to be had, though It Is not yet plentiful. California smelt, shad and pompano are also limited ln supply. There Is a very little fresh salmon at 15 to 20 cents) a pound. Halibut is still rather high, cost ing about 16 cents. Black cod and red snapper cost 12 cents; and flounder, sole. perch and herring average 10 cents a pound. Few crabs are to be seen. Lobsters cost 40 cents and shrimps 20 cents a pound. A few terrapin are avail able at about $1 each. Work Begins on Condenser. , MONTESANO, Wash., March 11. (Spe cial.) The contract for the construction of the milk-condensing plant to be built here by the Seattle Ice Cream Company has been let to Robert Morgan, a local contractor.

AUTHORITY WILL SPEAK J. Campbell White, Who Has Visited Missions ln AH Lands, Will Tell of Hla Observations AH De nominations to Take Part. At the banquet March 29. which is to open the convention of the Laymen's Missionary Movement that Is to continue in session in Portland the two following days, the speaker will be J. Campbell White, known as. the greatest authority in the " United t States .on foreign mis sions. There may, and probably will be, other sepakers. but their addresses will be brief and the greater part of the time will be given over to Mr. White. Mr. White Is the National secretary of the Laymen's Movement, and will come to Portland with the party of 15 Eastern speakers who yesterday closed a big conventioin ln Los Angeles. He has made a life-long study' of foreign missions. It is said that he has visited every country In the world where Chris tian missionaries are at work. In all of the cities where Laymen's conventions have been held, Mr. White has discussed missions from the standpoint of his own personal experience, and he will do so at the banquet in Portland. It Is expected that this address will be one of the most instructive given during the convention. All Denominations Represented. Mr. White is a member of the United Presbyterian Church and is a brother-in-law of John R. Mott. the great organ izer of the student volunteer movement, through which the Young Men's Chris tian Association is sending hundreds of college men and women into the foreign missionary field. Practically all Protest ant evangelical denominations will be rep resented by the outside speakers who are to participate In the convention. President Johnson and Secretary Lovett, of the Portland convention, yesterday made an important change in arrange ments for the banquet. It was first in tended to hold it in the Armory, but It was realized that preparations for such a large dinner there would be very diffi cult. It has now been decided to hold it in the restaurant on the seventh floor of the Meier & Frank building. It is de sired. If possible, to secure the attend ance of 2000 delegates. If the restaurant will not seat all who desire to attend, arrangements have been made to enlarge it for the occasion, 200 0 Will Banquet.. In all of the large cities of the country, the attendance at the opening banquet of the Laymen's conventions has ranged from 1000 to 2000, and even more in the largest cities. It is not believed that It will be difficult ln Portland to sign up 2000 people for the banquet. Reserva tions for it will be made tomorrow morn ing in all the Protestant evangelical churches of the city.' A meeting of the co-operative commit tee of the Laymen's Movement, which is made up of ' members from all the de nominations, will be held this "afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the headquarters in room 627 of the Board of Trade building. At this session certain matters will be brought up that it is thought advisable to refer to the various ministers' meet ings that are held on Monday. ARGUMENT STILL GOES ON Mr. MacMahon Slakes Some Com ment on Broadway Bridge. PORTLAKD, Or., March 10. (To the Ed itor.) Mr. Dunlway, though vanquished. ia still arguing ag-airoct the Broadway Bridge, The opposition to this bridge from the Incep tion has been oonflnwi to the triumvirate Henry, K I em an and Dunlway. Mr. Henry, no doubt, believes that the termini of ail bridges on the K5aet Bide should originate ln Laurel hurst, and terminate at the southwest corner of Fourth and- Oak. streets; Mr. Klernan, of the fixed opinion that the prows of all ship arriving in Portland should butt up against a couple of lots owned on Oregon street, and Mr. tuniway. their perai stent and energetic attorney, fighting for the sole protection of the harbor, honor and posterity. It would seem that after the voters of the city last June voted for the construction of this bridge after the executive board and the Council, supported by the Mayor, approved the same after the pilots who have served on this river for 20 years alse approved of the construction and the plana of the bridge, snd especially after three Circuit Court judges, without any dissension, having listened to Mr. Dunlway argue for hours and hours, decided unanimously that not a syllable of Mr. Dunl way' a voluminous complaint had any merit worthy of consideration it would seem that after all this, future argument would be un necessary; but Mr. Dunlway will be arguing a gal net the construction of the Broadway Bridge long after it is in use. Sixty thousand people living north of Holladay avenue, who will soon be passing over this bridge, are of the opinion that Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) had In mind R. R. Duniway 187-January 21, 1910) when he wrote something like the fol lowing linee: In arguing, too, the judges owned his skill. For e'en tho' vanquished, he could argue still; While words of learned length, and thunder ing sound. Amazed th astounded hearers ranged around. And still they gazed, and still their wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew." M. J. MacMAHON. A Butcher and His Sentiment. PORTLAND, March 11. (To the Editor.)

"A monument built by and from Postum," Is the way an 111. man de scribes himself. He says: "For years I was a coffee drinker until at last I became 'a terrible suf ferer from dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and indigestion, and was a physical wreck. "The different kinds of medicines I tried did not cure me, but finally some one told me to leave off coffee and take up Postum. I was fortunate ln having- the Postum made strictly ac cording to directions on the pkg., so that from the start I liked It. It has a rich flavour and I made the change from coffee to Postum. without any trouble. "Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared and I began to get well again. My appetite became good and I could digest food. Now. I have been restored to strength and health. Can sleep sound all night and. awake with a fresh and rested body. Everyone who meets me com ments on my getting so plump and rosy. "I am really a monument built by Postum, for I was a physical wreck, distressed ln body and mind, and am now a strong, healthy man.

This butcher, undoubtedly, is a good authority on tripe and sparerlbs, but his conception of child training is "hashy." If there be one spot on earth a child should be spared, it is among such folk "as this carver. What sweet and pleasant dreams those hallowed halls Inspire! What sweet memories would be conjured up by that spot where the father practiced a little amateur surgery! The holy ties of matrimony would receive an awful jolt if these loving souls refrained from trying to fool society that they are really- man and wife. And to think, that innocent children shall be sac rificed, for the sake of keeping up the hum bug. The fetish must be preserved, even if creation and life suffers.
