DELIGHT CROWDS BOYS AND GIRLS IS CONTINUED GLADSTONE GETS INTO LINE BY PASSING STRICT ORDIN ANCE ON DOGS C. W. SWALLOW IS BITTEN BY PUP Deputies in Sheriffs Office Practice With Firearms So as to be Ready to Exterminate Canines Tha city council of Gladstone has ' introduced and passed to second read ing an ordinance calling for the li censing and muzzling of all dogs over the age of four months, it being pro vided that when such animals are at large they must be- provided with "a suitable wire muzzle that will meet the approval of the Clackamas County Humane society." It is also provided that it "shall be unlawful for any per son to remove the collar from any dog" and that it shall also be unlaw ful "for any person to interfere with the seizure of any dog" that the chief of police, who is made general guard ian of the dogs of Gladstone may pur sue. The introduction of the ordinance follows the general movement throughout this section to combat the spread of rabies, and is in lines with similiar ordinances passed n Oregon Cty and Portland. Gladstone's law, however, is more stringent than any passed in nearby cities. No new casas of hydrophobia have developed in Clackamas county, and as far as is known there are at pres ent no dogs afflicted with rabies astray. Some stock is quarantined following former incursions of rabid canines into the county, but the veter inary authorities are keeping a close watch upon all suspicious cases. Deputies in the sheriff's office are "practicing with revolvers . and shot guns in expectation of being called up on to rid the- county of all stray dogs that do not comply with the general restraining and muzzling order issued this week by the State Livestock Sanitary board; but so far have not been called upon to put their prowess upon display. .

"What is the use of having big ideas unless you have the monsy to carry them out," asked Frof. H. G. Merriam, of Beloit, in the second of his lectures before the University of Oregon summer school on "Oxford as an Educational Ideal." By "money" Prof. Merriam meant big money, for he was quoting Cecil Rhodes, and .trying to explain the type of man the South African empire bui'der hoped to develop among the youth of Eng land and America. Prof. Merriam was Rhodes scholar from the state of Wyoming. Rhodes wanted men, he said, with the power to realize a big ideal in a big ideal in a big way, and he picked Oxford as the university most likely to give the training that would make this possible.

ASTORIA'S FOUNDER ' BORN 150! YEARS AGO NEW YORK, July 17. One hun dred and fifty years ago today there was born at Waldorf, near Heidel berg, Germany, the son of a lowly butcher, who lived to stand , before kings, and to acquire the largest for tune ever accumulated by a single in dividual in America up to his time. The butcher's son was John Jacob Astor, the founder of the Astor family in America. He crossed the Atlantic at th9 age of 20 and from the day of Jiis landing he was an American. At first he acted as an agent for a Lon don firm that manufactured musical instruments and he became the first dealer in musical Instruments in the United States. By degrees he worked into the trade with furs, serving apprenticeship with a Quaker in the business.

Youthful America had its inning at Chautauqua Thursday. The whole af ternoon was turned over to the kid dies, and instead of the usual after noon lecture a grand "pageant" was given on the athletic field, in which several hundred little tots participat ed, and several thousand older folks joined most heartily, from the grand stand and sidelines of the ball field. One of the largest crowds of the pres ent assembly was on the grounds, and perfect skies added additional charin to the dainty drills, folk-dances . and games of the youngsters. The affair was given uner the direction of Miss Grace Lamkin, who has been drilling the children daily since the assembly opened, July 8, and their training has been remarkable in the short time. The program executed without a hitch, consisted of a grand pageant march; (2) folk dance by the butter flies and Brownies; (3) pennant march by the Hansel and Gretel group; (4) dance by the wood Nymphs; (5) free hand work, "touch down" by the Forresters; '6) snail march by the butterflies and Brown ies; (7) folk dance; (8) rose dance by wood Nymphs; (9) drill with flower sticks; (10) tournament, by Hansel and Gretel group; (11) dance, wood Nymphs; (12) game-ball hustle by the Forresters; (13) criss-cross ball and pyramid work by the forresters. The evening feature was a great lecture by Colonel George W. Bain, "A Searchlight of the Twentieth Cen tury." The news of Colonel Bain's auto accident has spread broadcast, and the eloquent Southerner received felicitations from all over the state. The Colonel is able to be about, though still extremely stiff as the re sult of a careless chauffeurs driving by a standing street' car. The auto passed over his foot and barely miss ed seriously injuring him. Commenting on his narrow escape, Colonel Bam said: Portland auto- ists should be more careful. They should make it a policy to run over only people having wooden legs and say eventually they will all have wooden legs in Portland." ' One of the features of the past few days since the real good weather be gan, has been the great number of automobile parties, constantly coming and going. An auto drive circling through the 75 acres of the pictures que park, gives at a glance a pan orama of the entire "white city" that picnic parties have not been slow to appreciate. All day Thursday Port land autos surged the grounds, com ing by way of Clackamas. At night there were almost 200 machines on j the grounds. A special auto gate is provided which leads in a beautiful driveway among the stately firs down to Auditorium avenue" where the in habitants of the tent city and the each evening before the program starts. .. - - Walt Holcomb and Prof. B.

MARIE Ell LEADS I PORTLAND RIOTING PORTLAND, Ore., July 17. (Spe cial) Dr. Marie Equi was the star performer in one of the hottest street riots in Portland's history tonight, and wound up by getting lodged in the county jail charged with inciting a riot, carrying concealed weapons, assauling a policeman and disorderly conduct. In the course of her metoric career Dr. Equi jabbed Patrolman Larry Evans in the arm with a hatpin and slashed him across the face with the same weapon. Dr. Equi and some 11 other women endeavored - to' deliver Socialist speeches at Sixth and Washington street about half past eignt. -' Five thousand people gathered to sie the fun, and 60 policemen, mounted upou horses and in the big patrol wagon, battered their way through the crowd dragged the women off thsir soap boxes, and hauled them off to jail. About eight mtan, also orators, were also taken into custody. Three of the women arrested were found to have concealed about their persons two-foot length . of gaspipc, loaded with lead. Dr. Equi had one of these, which accounted for one of the charges. At the police station she had her mixup with Patrolman Evans, and was only prevented from doing more damage by Patrol Driver Schafer, who throttled her. The disorder lasted about two hours and gave the police one. of the hard est fights they have so far had. THRILLING NOVELL BASIS OF "HOI" Based upon the thrilling novel -by Frederick Isham, a film entitled "Halt a Chance" will be presented as the feature at the Star Theatre today. The production is a Reliance feature in two reels, and abounds in thrilling incidents and situations. The story of the drama tells of the reformation of a convict in a British prison, and differs from many other "prison photo plays" in not being overdrawn or mor bidly exaggerated. The picture faith fully follows the action of the novel of the same title, and is said to be a mas terpiece of dramatic power. v Lighter vein will be added to the bill by two Keystone comedies, one of which deals with the adventures of a would-be "foxy" cattleman, and the other of which has a more modern and up-to-date setting. The " entire bill is well balanced, and should prove entertaining. Special music has been arranged for the program. MANY EYES TURNED Secretary Freytag, of the publicitj department of the Commercial -club, is beginning to baliave that Oregon City is known in many places, and that residents of other communities have been improssed with publicity matter sent out from here, and by the comments made upon the Clackamas county exhibit at various land shows. Thursday he received four letters in quiring as to opportunitias here. One letter came from Dayton, Ohio, where flood has recently swept away many families.- One came from the province of Alberta, in Ca.nda, and the writer complained that the Albertan boom had collapsed, and that he was seeking a community where moderate prosperity always reigned. Yet an other came from Olongapo, in the Philippine Island, and the last of the quartet came from Wisconsin. Information in regard to opportun ities in Clackamas county will be sent to all the inquiriers, and as they have taken the trouble to write for infprma tion, the chances are that there will be some new settlers. The writer from Alberta was inquiring in behalf ot three families. One of the other writ ers wanted information as to the chances for establishing a tailoring business, and the other two sought farm lands. MURDERER TO HANG PRINCH ALBERT, Sask., July 17. Arrangements are being made for t'ai execution of Emerie Kovoiach here to morrow. Koviach aijd Lewis Ratz were convicted of the murder of Charles Bruggenoote on the night of February 11 last The murder was one of unusual brutality. ' The two men killed Bruggencote at the lonely ruined shack where they lived" by beating in his. brains with a cucigei ana aiterwaras cutting nis throat and driving him along a trail into the open prairie, where they left the body. The two murderers were tried and convicted at the May term of court. Ratz is under sentence to hang one week from tomorrow for his share of the -crime.

C, July 17. Ma jor General Bell, commanding the Philippine department, warmly prais es Brigadier General John J. Pershing for the manner in which he conducted his campaign to disarm the Moros. It is not the first tima that Gen. Persh ing has been "mentioned is des patches," and when the history of the Philippines comes to be written it is probable that the firgher from Miss ouri will be given the credit for do ing the biggest share of the "rough work" incident to the pacification of the islands. General Pershing has been fighting" in the Philippines the greater part of the past tan years. In 190b he was singled out by President Roosevelt iu one of his messages to congress for his distinguished services in his fights against the Moros in the Lake Llano country. There, his senior of ficer being incapacitated, the com mand of a battalion devolved upon him. For seven months he kept open his base of operations, supplied his own subsistence, and with his men, fought every day and part of the night. Ha started at the lower end of lake and fought clear around its cir cumference, exterminating hostile na tives or making peace with their chiefs. Gen. MacArthur, then in command in the Philippines, recommended him for promotion to brigadier general as the only recognition commensuratt with his actual services. Thereupon the president jumped Captain Persh ing over the heads of 862 officers of higher rank and made him a brigadier general in the regular army. Except in the case of General Funston, who was made a brigadier from the volun teers after his capture of Aguinaldo, there is no other instance upon record where bravery and efficient service have been so promptly and so exten sively rewarded. PURSE CONTAINING $300 IS SAVED FROM FLAMES Firs swept the residence of C. E. Reiling, at Parkplace, Wednesday evening, and did about $800 damage. Neighbors came to the assistance of the family, and forming a bucket prig ade prevented the house from being consumed and the flames from spread ing. In the height of the fire Miss Reil ing dashed into the burning residence, at the risk of her life, and recovered a purse containing about $300. SOME HAY, THIS . First crop clover and grass that averages between five and six feet ia height has ben cut on the ranch of Joseph Haas, at Maple Lane, and is on exhibition at the Commercial club publicity department as an example of the fertility of Clackamas county soil.

RE MARKS TO ENTERPRISE BY - ROUNDABOUT ROUTE ENGAGEMENTS PREVENT INTERVIEW Matter of Action of State Board - Health Discussed at Consider able Length Old Charges Reaffirmed of The Rev. Henry Spiess, of Clack amas, came to The Enterprise office Thursday morning to register an ob jection to an arciole printed in Thurs day's Enterprise. All Lie members of the editorial force were out, and Mr. Spiess was invited r call later in the day and talk to them. He plead ed engagement in Portland, and de parted, apparently going direct to the office of The Courier, where he left with M. J: Brown a communication intended for this papsr. Mr. Brown, for reasons best knovra to himself, mailed the cmmunication to this of fice, wit'i a letter. His letter and the communication :he Hew Mr. Sniess ard herewith printed: Oregon City, Oregon. July 17. Enterprise: - Mr. Spiess asked me to deliver this letter to you and ass you to publish it in Friday'o Enterprise, and that he would pe.y any en-Mi3-? in connect ion. Yours, M. J. BROWN. Oregon City, Ore., July 17, 1913. Editor, The. Enterprise: Will you please make correction of the article in The Enterprise of July 15th, under the heading, "Dr. Norris not Ousted White" and its connec ti;n with my article in The Courier of July 10. - v The letter of Judge Beatie, you pub lished July 15th, was more than three months old at the time that Dr. Norris sent his letter to the state board of health. Judge Beotie did not write to the State Board of Health, and did NOT notify them that Dr. Norris had net resigned until he was forced to by a public admission in the meeting at Oak Grove July 2nd, and also after my article appeared in Tue Courier of July 10th. After these exposures he had to do something; , and you will note that Dr. White's letter to him was after the exposures, and dated July 14th. I hereby reaffirm every charge I made in The Courier article, which The Enterprise attempts to put in a wrong light. Will The Enterprise please state in what possible sense its article of July 15, under, under the bold headlines. and Dr. White's letter of July 14, answers my article and the charges in The Courier og July 10? They quote from my article in The Courier and then publish this letter: Portland, Ore., July 14, 19lS. Judge Beatie, Oregon City, Oregon. Dear Sir: , Answering your inquiry of to day, the board has taken no de cisive action in regard to the mat ter of Dr. Norris since giving the official information that Dr. Nor ris had not resigned. No official notice of the former hearing was ever sent to you. A special meeting of the board will be. held within the next ten days and a definite action taken one way or the other, and you will be promptly otified of that action. ! Yours very truly, CALVIN S. WHITE, State Health Officer, Does The Enterprise see no differ ence between dates of letter written in March and April and one written July 14th, several days after exposure and publication of the facts? Perhaps Judge Beatie sees and can answer. Will The Enterprise publish a signed article from me setting forth this matter as it really is? Since you have published the letter to Judge Beatie with comments, 1 respectfully ask if you will give your readers an opportunity to real official letters from the State Board of Health on this matter which I will furnish. Will The Enterprise please answer through its columns whether they will so publish these letters, signed by Calvin S. White and Dr. J. W. Nor ris? HENRY SPIESS. . The Enterprise has but little com ment to make. In regard to the sec ond paragraph of the communication from the Rev. Mr. Spiess, it may be advisable to state that the postmark upon the envelope which contained Dr. Calvin White's letter to Judge Beatie was "Portland, Oregon, July 14, 11:30 p. in." If this makes the letter "more than three months old," as the Rev. Mr. Spiess states, there must be something wrong with the calendar. As to publishing letters which the Rev. Mr. Spiess may have, The Enter prise is always glad . to print com munications from people who believe they have a message for the common good. In this instance, however, as Dr. White has announced that the State Board of Health would - take final action in the matter under dis cussion within the next ten days, The Enterprise believes . it might be well to wait until the board acts before reviewing what may have gone before. As Dr. White, speaking as secretary of the board, says no decisive action has yet been taken, but promises that it will be -taken shortly, The Enter prise can see no use in reprinting a mass of letters which may have no bearing upon the final settlement of the matter in hand. WATER TESTS CONTINUE Further tests of the water in the wells on the Englebrecht property, to the north of the city limits, were made Thursday afternoon by Coun oilman Tooze, chairman of the special water committee of the city council, and City Engineer Noble. Sample of ' the water were. sealed and sent away for analysis. . - MRS. EMMA ELEY-MADDOX HAS IDEA THAT SHE HAS MAR RIED TWO MEN , CASE PU7ZLES COURT AND LAWYERS Former Ceremony Believed Performed in Montana, But Bride is Hazy as to Important Details Whether or not Mrs. Emma Eley Maddox is a bigamist is puzzling her, her attorneys, Justice Sievers and her present husband, William Maddox, of this city; to whom she was married Wednesday in Portland by Judge Gat ens. Mrs. Maddox has an idea that she is a bigamist, and has asked two attorneys bo sift the matter to the bot tom for her. Whether she is a bigam ist or not, she has been bound over to -the grand jury on a statutory charge with her present husband, and the case presents a number of unqiue complications. Maddox, who is 27, ancUMrs. Emma Eley, as she called herself, who is but 19, went to Portland Wednesday, following their arrest here on a statu tory charge, and thinking they could get the case against them dismissed by wedding, obtained a marriage li cense from County Clerk John B. Coffey, and then sought Judge Gatens . to tie the knot for them. When brought into Justice Sievers' court Thursday for preliminary hearing, their attorney, J. E. Hedges, produced an elaborately embossed and decorat ed marriage certificate, and asked that the charge against the pair be dismissed. It then developed that Mrs. Eley- Maddox had been, according to her belief, married some time previous to a man who gave his name as Eley, but who had since deserted her. Follow ing the desertion she aksed John W. Loder, another Oregon City attorney, to secure her a divorce. Mr. Loder was unable to find any record of the marriage, and so could not proceed with the divorce proceedings. Mrs. Eley, however, told him that she had " been married by a "lady minister." She did not know where the ceremony had been performed, or on what date, but said she thought it was in some town in Montana. Her haziness as to details complicates the case still fur ther, and is not explained in any way by her, she simply says that she can not recall the exact details of the proceedings. After hearing as much of the case as possible, Justice Sievers was un able to feel that the marriage per formed by Judge Gatens was suffici ent to warrant his dismissing the ac tion, and so he bound the pair over to the grand jury under bonds. After surety was furnished, the couple left the court room,- agreeing not to at tempt to live together until the mys tery as to the previous marriage was , cleared up. Mrs. Eley-Maddox was formerly Emma Ladd of Clackamas Heights. Local authorities do not feel con cerned over the possibility of higamy having been committed, saying thai; as the marriage was performed in ' Multnomah county, it is up to Port land officials to take action in the matter. CHAMPIONS TAKE VICTORY EASILY The ninth game of the Chautauqua series, played Thursday afternoon at Gladstone Park between Claekamas and Oswego, -was won by the former by the score of 20 to 1.
