The vile langruage was not always confined to the enclosures, but often was written on the envelopes. Mrs. Tszwell also received some of the epistolary barrage. Numerous com plaints to United States postal au thorities brousrht no action, and yes terday Helen Harvey appeared in per son to demand the "Yale laundry evidence." In letters she had often threatened to make that demand In person and at the point of a revolver, and she had sometimes made the cunnlnp: comment, "They can't do anything to me 'cause I'll plead in sanity!" Intrnlpw Quiet One. An Interview with Judge Tazwell rn hi3 chambers was gcranted the young woman. It was not tempestu ous, for at the side of Miss Harvey were Hperial Apont Cameron and Dep uty Sheriff Schirmer. She explained that she had come for the "evidence." The Judpe endeavored to show her as he had in letters before the stream was well under way and before it had taken on the semblance of Insane delusion that she had been present throughout her own hearing before Dr. S.

In the afternoon Heinz appeared at the courthouse alone, seemed inter ested in a ease in Judie Kavanauffh's court, and there was met by Miss Harvey. Both were taken into cus tody immediately and though they paid they were living apart, room keys taken from them were dupli cates. The case of Heinz is being in vestigated l,v Tom Word of the de partment of justice and it is possible thnr chnr-Lros under the Mann act may be filed against him.

Though found in sane she was allowed to etav for a time at the House of the Good Shep herd and then was paroled. She went to Seattle, where she was auriu found Insane and ordered to an eaylum at Sedro Wooley. She escaped from there and fled to San Francisco. LettlTM Sent ta Many. The woman said yesterday that she had been in Portland for 10 days. She had no weapon on her when searched by the matron at the county Jail. Her aliusive letters, couched in foulest terms, were .sent to women workers in the juvenile court under Judge Tazwell. operatives of the women's protective bureau, the wife of the man, who had complained first against her. and to the .iudse. Some of the recipients were badly frightened. E B,01ES DUE TOMORROW "WAU HEROES ARE RETURNED FROM OVERSEAS. Eenge, 19, who also had been di vorced once. Cedric Miller performed the ceremony.

BOND BIDS TO COMPETE COCXTT BOARD ADOPTS RULE OF Ol'EX SELLING IX FUTURE. People Are- Expected to Save Money as Results of Policy Inaugurated by Commission. Bond purchases by Multnomah county commissioners in the future will not be made through one con cern, without permitting competitive bids for the business. County Com missioners Hoyt and Muck decided yesterday, in the light of discussion following the order given to Morris Brothers last week to buy back, if possible, for the commissioners, a $50,000 block of the interstate bridge bonds at par or lower, in order that interest of $2500 a year might be saved. Commissioner Holman said there was no such thing as open competit'on in buying bonds, but Commissioner Hoyt insisted that several firms could procurer-options on blocks of bonds and that the county might save money by selecting the best buy offered in the particular bonds sought. County employes using private automobiles on cotmty work wtil be reimbursed at the rate of 10 cents a mile for the use of the machines on purely county affairs, the commis sioners decided. Repair work on the Broadway bridfre decking has left numerous un protected drops of a foot or more on the road surface and may cost the county considerable money if other autoists follow the lead of H.

Mil FAIR IS IPERED BV RUNS Race Track Deep With Mud at Gresham Show. MANY EXHIBITS SHOWN Oregonian Writer Declares One of Best Displays In History Spoiled by Adverse Weather. BT ADDISOM BEXXETT. Surely providence treated the Gresh am people shabbily in dishing out weather for the fair now in session. Tuesday was bad enough, but yester day was worse. The officials did manage to have a little taste of rac ing on the former day, but yesterday I think not a single auto was driven around the track, the mud being very deep. . It Is a great pity. It is not only the officials who are to be pitied, but the exhibitors, concessionaires and visitors, I think if the weather had been good it would have been one of the most successful district or county fairs ever held in Oregon, for they have ."the goods" to make a great show great in every department, but greatest In the departments where a fair ought to shine fruits and flow ers, vegetables and livestock. In some respects it is even better than the state fair. Not greater in extent but finer in selection. I doubt if the sheep exhibits now under the sheds at Gresham were ever equaled in quality by one of our state fairs. Writer Pulla Faux Pa. I said in my Wednesday morning story that I would tell about the sheep today, but I made a 'miscue in my dates,, and as I will not be here to wr"ite a story tomorrow. I will ask the one onthe job to take particular notice of that department and also of the boys' and jrirls' club work as shown in the school exhibits in the new school building and livestock sheds. School exhibits, .minus the live stock, are all housed in this new edi fice, 75 by 100 feet in size, and it is chock full. The following schools have exhibits: Creston. Lynch, Ce dar, Richmond. Joseph Kellogg, High land, Lents, Kerns. Sunnyside, Fail ing, Maplewood, Fu'.ton Park, Ockley Green. Gilbert, Gresham. East and Sandy schools, and consolidated ex hibit from Wilkes. Kockwood and Russellville schools. Miss Cawkine and Miss Cowgill of the extension de partment, Oregon Agricultural col lege, are in charge. The county com missioners will give a prize of $10 for the most - artistic display of a county school and the same fofcity school. It was not pleasant on the grounds yesterday owing to cold, wind and mud -which also ought to embrace a lack of sunshine. But I found sun shine and warmth In the magnificent gladioli display, of my old friend W. E. Crissey.- It is late in the sea son for the gladiolus family, so oniy about 60. different specimens are shown, but all different. At his dis play at the Multnomah hotel recently he had nearly 150 varieties. His "farm" is gaining great fame for the w varieties he has produced.
