BROKE LAWS
City Attorney William Stone and
Chief of Police Shaw are putting their
heads together these days, endeavor
ing to discover some means by which
they can corral and bring before the
bar of justice one Paul Wessinger, of
Portland, manager of the Weinhard
Brewery, and automobilist of consid
erable fame. Last week Mr. Wess
inger paid Oregon City a flying visit
in fact he flew through the busi
ness section of the city at a rate of
speed said to be greatly in excess of
that provided by law.
Owing to the fact that Mr. Wess
inger is said not to have violated the
state speed law, the limit of which is
25 miles an hour, local officials can
not have him arrested on a state war
rant. A city warrant is not good in
Portland, and then there is some dif
ficulty in obtaining a complainant
who can reliably swear as to Mr.
Wessinger's speed. This is the prob
lem that is worrying the city attorney
and the chief; but they hope to solve
it successfully before long.
OREGON CITY BABE
STOLEN BY TRAMP
MARSHFIELD, Or., June 5. The
15-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Smith, formerly of Oregon
City, was found early this morning ;n
the woods about a mile and a half
distant from the home. ' The child
was unharmed. It is believed the
child was carried into the woods and
left there by a half-witted tramp
named Bill Miller, who is now in
custody. Miller had been refused
food by Mrs. Smith. He denies his
guilt, but is recognized as the man
who visited the Smith home. Nearly
300 men had been engaged in the
search. D. L. Stanley, neighbor, who
found the baby, says he was guided
to the spot by a falling star. The child
was lost since yesterday afternoon.
BANQUET IS. PLANNED
A banquet will be served in Wood
men's hall June 10, at which dele
gates from the various brotherhoods
of Clackamas county and Oregon City
churches will he present. The main
; object of the gathering is to formu
I late plans for promoting local inter-
est in the World's Second Christian
; Citizenship conference to be held in
; Portland June 29 to July 6.' The Rev.
I J. S. McGau, field secretary of the
i conference, will deliver the main ad
dress at the banquet. Tickets may
be obtained from Dr. Ford, J. L.
Swafford or Charles Hagemann.
HEILIG THEATRE, JUNE 6 AND 7
A DONNA."
SALOON IS LURE -
TO THIRSTY AUTO
A bucking automobile cavorted mer
rily over the sidewalk on Main street
Thursday afternoon, tore a brick or
two out of the Noble block as if de
sirous of getting into Louis Noble's
refreshment oasis to quench its
thirst, and then subsided alongside
the building without materially in
juring itself or its occupants. While
on its rampage, however, the ma
chine created considerable excite
ment. Mrs. C. G. Huntley was driving the
car, taking lessons in managing the
vehicle, at the time. She had done
so well earlier in the day that the ex
perienced chauffeur who was with
her decided that she could safely nav
igate the traffic maze on Main strset,
and gave her the wheel. Just before
the machine started to "cut up" a
stretch of wet pavement was reached
and the auto began to skid. Mrs.
Huntley did her best to get the car
in control, but the steering gear
cramped, and the heavy machine
crashed into the sidewalk, climbed
over the curb, and butted into the
Noble building.
Mrs. Huntley was considerably
jarred, but was unhurt, and the car
showed no serious effects of its ad
venture. GLADSTONE WILL OIL
ITS OWN HIGHWAYS
The city of Gladstone has determin
ed to erect and maintain a road-oiling
plant of its own, and will shortly pur
chase oil and water sprinklers, which
will be used upon its streets and road
ways. It is believed that in this
way the thoroughfares of the town
can be kept in better shape than if
annual contracts for the work are
let, and that the oiling can be done
more economically.
LAW GIVES NO TROUBLE
No difficulty has been experienced
at the county clerks office over the
, provisions of the new marriage li
cense law, which provides that the
j groom must present a certificate of
j health sworn to by a physician. A
i number of licenses have been issued
j since the law went into effect, and
all applicants have presented the cer
tificates as required.

FOR LOCAL TALENT
Under the direction of Anna Sara
Bock, the King's Daughters of St.
Paul's Episcopal church will preseut
on June 17 and 18 a musical comedy
entitled "The Clackamas County
Fair." The play will reproduce the
old-fashioned county fair with all its
merriment and features, and between
150 and 200 people will take part in
the production.
Incidental to the action of the com
edy over 100 children will participate
m choruses and drills, while a group
of 50 young women and men will
form the regular chorus. Elaborate
stage settings will be provided, and
though none but home talen will ap
pear, it is expected that the sparkl
ing show will compare favorably with
professional productions.
There will be about 25 leading char
acters in the play, and as the subject
and plot of the comedy afford many
opportunities for striking character
work and for the interjection of much
local humor, it is generally felt that
the performances will be successful
in every way. There will be a maze
of beautiful costumes used in the
several dances and chorus numbers,
and a thoroughly enjoyable evening's
entertainment is promised. Rehear
sals commenced Wednesday."

PLAINFIELD, N. J., June 5. Rev.
Willis S. MacRorie, formerly pastor
of a Methodist church at Mlt. Horeb,
was arraigned in court today for trial
on an indictment recently returned
against him on charges made by a
young woman who was a member of
his congregation. Rev. Mr. Mac
Rorie was first arrested on November
22, of last year as a result of a com
plaint made by Mrs. Amelia Mason,
mother of nineteen-year-old Gertrude
Mason, a singer in the ML Horeb
church. The pastor admitted at that
time that he had taken the young
woman on numerous automobile
rides, but blamed his arest to the in
fluence of liquor dealers against
whom he had been active;
- The grand jury at that time failed

charges made by two other ministers
became a matter for consideration at
the Newark conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal schurch in Newark
last March by a special committee.
Mr. MacRorie has resigned his pas
torate in the meantime. The con
ference committee that probed the
case repored to the conference that
the charges were not sustained. Not
withstanding the finding of the com
mittee the grand jury again took the
matter up with the result that the
former minister was. indicted and
must stand trial on the serious
charges made by the young woman in
the case.
