WAS-A JURISDICTIONAL QUESTION
Court Doubts Authority to Decide but
Finally Takes Case and Hears
Testimony Offered
by Defense
COATICOOK. Que., Sept. 8. Wil
liam Travers Jerome was acquitted
tonight of the charge of having gambl
ed on Thursday last on the station
property of the Grand Trunk Railway
here while waiting for the immigra
tion authorities to pass on the case of
Harry K. Thaw. In discharging him
the court apologized for the humilia
tion to which he had been subjected.
The hearing before Magistrate Hen
ry Mulvena, of Sherbrooke, lasted
less than an hour. It began at 7:35
o'clock and at 8:20 the court said:
"Sir, you are honorably lischarged."
An attempt to hold an afternoon ses
sion failed because the magistrate
felt he had no authority to take pre
cedence over James McKee, the jus
tice of the peace whosigned the war
rant for Mr. Jerome's' arrest.
Tonight, however, the magistrate
said he was convinced of his authority
to act and the hearing moved with dis
patch. FORMER TREASURER

DISTRICT ATTORNEY ADVISES
NEW OFFICERS NOT, TO
HEED MANDAMUS
IS THE ECHO OF RECALL VOTE
Holds That Suit Was Brought Against
Officials Not Now in Power
and Has no Effect at
Present
Deputy District Attorney Livy Stipp,
acting as county attorney, has advised
the members of the county court and
the county treasurer to ignore the de
cision of Circuit Judge J. U. Camp
bell in the matter of the Gladstone
road fund suit, which was brought in
the form of mandamus proceedings to
compel the county to refund to Glad
stone the unexpended portion of the
road tax collected within its borders
for the years 1911 and 1912.
The court ruled that the money col
lected within the Gladstone limits was
for the sole use of the improvement of
Gladstone's highways and ordered the
unexpended balance returned to the
municipality.
' Suit Against Old Court.
The proceedings were brought
against the county court composed of
Judge R. B. Beatie and Commission
ers N. Blair and Mattoon. While the
matter has been pending in the courts
Judge Beatie and Commissioner Blair
have been recalled, and replaced by
County Judge H. S. Anderson and
Commisioner J. W. Smith.-
Mr. Stipp holds that the present
county court, therefor, is not a party
to the action, that it cannot be man
damused on the original suit, and that
as they have never refused to give the
moneys in" question to Gladstone, and
have never had a day in court for any
hearing in relation to the matter, they
cannot be effected by the outcome of
the action.
Mandamus' proceedings, Mr. Stipp
holds, are directed against individuals,
and not against county officers in the
abstract, and therefor Judge Ander
son and Commissioner Smith cannot
be bound by court orders directed to
Judge Beatie and Commissioner Blair.
T HOUSE
PLAY STARTS SUNDAY
A realistic picture of life, or exist
ence rather, in a typical New York
tenement of the lower order, is Kindl
ing, which The Baker Players wii!
present all this week beginning Sun
day matinee.
Few persons in this .glorious West
have anv idea of iust what it means
to fight for air and food like some
wild animal from day to day as these
people do, and a play that portrays
the life as Kindling does is bound to
attract more than passing attention.
Then the fact that it was the play
in which the well-known star, Mar
garet Illington,- returned to the stage
and so suddenly re-establisned ner
self in the hearts of Broadway's criti
cal audiences, after going forth to
"darn socks and forget the glare and
glitter of the footlights," stamps it as
being something out of the ordinary.
After playing it constantly for two
years Miss Illington has turned to
something else, and Manager.- Baker
secured it for stock in Portland while
in New York last summer.
Kindling tells the story of a young
wife of the tenements, who having
become haunted with the idea that
her unborn child would be killed if
allowed to first see the light of day
in surroundings like hers, determined
to get it something better, and in car
rying out her purpose, was easily led
into an alliance with a worthless thief
for the purpose of robbing a wealthy
house in which she was 'employed
The clever detective work of Rafferty,
the discovery and following confes
sion at the little empty cradle, the at
tempt of her husband to take the
guilt upon himself and the final happy
ending are all wonderfully worked
out and Kindling is one of the most
interesting and thrilling plays of the
day. The usual Baker matinees will
be given Sunday, Wednesday and Sat
urday and the special bargain per
formance Monday night.
OVER EIGHT LIENS
Partial decisions were given by the
circuit court Monday in the suit
brought by A. Koutz against the Can
by Lodge No. 134, A. F. & A. M., on
eight liens that had been filed against
the $8837.75 home of the order. On
other cases, the court will reserve its
judgment and continued the case over
until Wednesday.
The suit was brought on the liens
filed against the .property for material
furnished. The lodge let the contract
to Arnt Anderson wno was paid ac
cording to the estimates of the archi
tect until it neared completion when
a certain per cent was retained. The
liens were filed for $1000 more than
the lodge had on hand to pay the debt
and it immediately refused payment.
Suit was then brought on the liens.
By stipulation, the plaintiff was
granted a decree for $650, J. C. Bayer
for $333 without costs of any kind, and

BACHELORS LAMENT FAIR
MAIDS' ARTS AND WILES
"Say, have you fellows noticed how
this club is losing its old ''bachelors
right and left?" demanded the Dhil-
ospher as he settled back in a Morris
chair at the Commercial club Monday
afternoon and chatted with a crowd
of newspaper men and. others who
were killing time in the c'.ub rooms.
Lighting a fresh cigar, he went on
to explain his sudden burst of confi
dence: "Within the last few months
there have been a lot of the members
of the old gang who have left here
and built little nests of their own.
Many of the fellows whom we thought
were confirmed in their wavs and who
had defied the wiles and arts of most
of the pretty girls here for years
have at least succumbed and have
gone out of the club rooms.
Rainy Hour Chats.
"Did you ever stop to figure out
how many of the bunch you used to
play pool with up here and with whom
you have chatted away the rainy
hours on an afternoon like this have
got little homes of their own and
never show up around here at all any
more?
"When a man's married, we seldom
see his face around these haunts af
ter that and he disappears from the
places where the bunch used to know
him. It's really funny what it does
to some men. Instead of spending
their spare moments around here at
the club and chatting with the fel
lows, he immediately beats it for
home the first chance that he gets
and seems really to prefer chatting
with 'that little wife of his to talk
ing with the crowd and old cronies.
. There's Bill.
"Take Bill Stone, for instance. Bill
used to be as confirmed in his bache
lor ways as any of the fellows here.
Why, we used to point at Bill as a
model bachelor and thought that he
had successfully out generalled any of
the girls in town. He was a fixture
here and he knew everybody. All of
the bunch were his friends and noth
ing ever happened at the club that Bill
wasn't either in or knew about.
"Just look how different it is now.
Why, Bill never comes around here
any more. He would be a stranger
in this place if he were to show up
here. Though he has been a bachelor
for such a long time, along comes a
girl and he falls like a shot, and now
he's gone and got married and has a
baby.
"Bill was the kind of a fellow that
you could point to with pride and say
that 'there is one fellow who never
chases around after the girls.' But,
look what's happened to him now.
Others Fall.
"Then there's Clyde Mount, Livy
Stippi Will Mulvey and a host of oth
ers who have been lost to the club
just because those fellows happen to
see a pretty face that got them and
has made them think that they ought
to have a little nest of their own. It
beats all how these fellows do go. I
wonder who will be next.
"From the way that, things have
happened, it doesn't look as though
there's going to be a bachelor left
around this place but me. Of course,
I'm immune. But the rest of you
seem to have got the girl habit and
in a little while I suppose that you
wi'.l leave the club the way that Bill,
C'yde and the rest of them have
dons."
To the chorus of "Nos" that greet
ed this prophecy, the philosopher
merely remarked, "And I wonder who
will be next?"
TO HAVE NEW WORK
Milwaukie schools opened Monday
with an enrollmen of 320 students.
Although this town has grown in the
past year, the attendance is about
the same as the preceeding year, the
reason being that a large number of
the students are still in the hop
fields.
Prof. Robert Goetz, principal of the
school, was in Oregon City Monday
and expressed himself as satisfied
with the conditions thereM He said
vthat he was decidedly in favor of
establishing a manual training de
partment for the boys of the school.
Last year this proposition was turned
down because of the expense, but, it
is said, that lately there has been
a decided public opinion in favor of
this new enterprise. Many people be
lieve that this step will be taken be
fore the end of this year of school.
! SHOES HORSES IN MANY
j STATES, LOCATES SHOP HERE

It is not an uncommon thing to see
a man who holds a record in a hundred-yard
dash or running a type
writer, but there is on man in Oregon
City who has a record in a class by
itself. That man is Mr. W. J. Whea
ton. Mr. Wheaton has shod horses in
36 states in the union, in .Australia,
New Zealand and the Philippines, and
has now settled down in Oregon City
in a shop of his own. He was form
erly in the employ cf J. F. Hodge,

Mr. Wheaton will restock his shop
and intends to establish the reputa
tion of an up-to-the-minute place of

Dancing Justice Goes J
J to Social Affairs J
I as a Duty I
. $
Oregon City has a justice, John
Seivers, who believes that part of his
official duty is to attend social func
tions and to take a prominent part
in the society affairs of the commun
ity. "A man in my position," say the
judge, "ought to get ou; and make
himself pleasant at every social func
tion in his community. He is a pub
lic official and the people want to
meet him. They want to know what
kind of a man he is, and there is no
better way for them to find out than
by rubbing elbows with him at a party
or a dance.
"Putting my theories into proctice,
I attend a large share of the social
functions that happen in Oregon City
or Gladstone. I have always believed
that a justice of the peace should
make himself prominent in the social
life of his community and I have put
that theory into practice at every op
portunity. "I believe that a justice has other
duties to perform besides the tying
of marriage knots, the issuing of writs
and papers, and the filing of com
plaints. The people of the commun
ity want their justice to do more than
send criminals to jail or bind them
over to the grand jury. They want
him to attend their social functions,
and I have always endeavored to at
tend as many as I possibly could. It
is one of the duties, as well as pleas
ures, that devolve on me as a justice
of the peace."
LABOR LAW MUST BE
ENFORCED AT PLANT
State Labor Commissioner Hoff has I
written to the Oregon City board of
water commissioners complaining of
the number of hours that some of the
men have been at work in the filtra
tion plant, and calls the board's at
tention to the new law that prevents
the men from working over eight
hours a day or more than 4S hours a
week. : .
In view of the provisions of the law,
the board has instructed Superintend
ent Howell to add another man to the
force and to see that those on duty
do not spend more than eight hours
on the shift. Under the arrangement,
each man will work six hours a day
for seven days in the week.
The board also bought 400 feet of
six-inch pipe and 1000 feet of four
inch pipe to be distributed in the dis
trict toward Mountain View where
the present mains are not large
enough to meet the demands. Pipe
will also be laid on Seventeenth street
west from Washington street to sup
ply the new houses in that territory.
SUDDENLY LOSES HER MIND AND
TRIES TO DISROBE BEFORE
MINISTER IN CHURCH
IS WELL KNOWN IN OREGON CITY
Worries Over Domestic Troubles Ef
fected Her While Here Son
Cited to Appear Before f
Grand Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8. Little
hope is entertained here today for the
immediate recovery of Mrs. Rosalie
Goulding, who was suddenly berefit
of her senses as she sat in the choir
of the Howard Street Methodist
church here last night.
The pastor, Rev. Dr. Carlos, had just
concluded a prayer when Mrs. Gould
ing arose and began to disrobe before
the startled congregation. Ushers
rushed to the choir loft and finally
quieted the woman. A moment later
Mrs. Goulding again jumped to her
feet and threw her wedding ring ai
the pastor. She was then removed to
the hospital for observation.
Considerable interest was expressed
here Monday over the report that
Mrs. Rosalie Goulding had gone in
sane in a church in San Francisco,
hurling her wedding ring at the min
ister. Mrs. Goulding was well known
here, where she was for some time
correspondent of the Oregon Daily
Journal.
While acting in that capacity here
she was assisted by her son, who
later sen a fake dispatch to The Jour
nal, in which ha charged that there
had been an attempt at jury bribing
in the Gault murder trial. For this
he was cited to appear before the
grand jury, but fled the city before
the subpoena could be served. Later
he returned for a brief visit and was
quizzed by the grand jurymen.
Mrs. Goulding was much ' worried
while here by household troubles. A
Portland furniture house attached her
home furnishings, and she found her
returns from newspaper work insuf
ficient to support her. Later she
moved to San Francisco, but the C.
O. Pick Transfer company attached
her belongings in Portland to satisfy
a debt." - . '
In Portland Mrs. Goulding was a
candidate for councilman-at-large at
the last primary. She got but a hand
ful of votes.
TWO CITIES SOON TO
E OWN CHART
West Linn and Molalla will hold
their first municipal eleccions during
the month when they will select the
officers who will start the machinery
of their city governments in motion
under charters that are later to be ap
proved by the people.
The county court has fixed the date
of the election in West Linn as Sep
tember 19 and that of Molalla as Sep
tember 22. At these times, the cities
will select the officers for their new
form oj government and will later
adopt a charter that is now being pre
pared by attorneys who have been em
ploy!. Both cities have decided on incor
poration under the state laws and
have determined to elect municipal of
ficers and have a charter of their
own. '

BANKRUPT FIRM'S MERCHANDISE
WILL SOON BE SOLD TO :
HIGHEST BIDDER
COURT TURNS DOWN COMPROMISE
Oregon City Merchant May be Able
to Make Arrangements to Re
sume Business Here in
Near Future
The stock of Barde & Levitt, on th
corner of Main and Seventh streets,
will probably be sold to the highest
bidder as soon as it can be advertised
according to a decision made Monday
by Judge Bean in the United States
district court of Portland.
After the failure of Barde & Levitt
last February, the firm made a' pro
posal to settle with its creditors at
45 cents on the dollar. This compro
mise was generally satisfactory, but
a few of the creditors were obdurate
and in a fight among some of the at
torneys for fees the whole matter
was held up until Monday, when Judge
Bean held that the manner which
marked the bookkeeping methods of
the firm, now in bankruptcy, savored
strongly of an attempt to conceal its
true financial condition. The court, it
is said, also was dissatisfied with re
ported stock juggling in the firm of
M. Barde & Son, of Portland.
Mr. Levitt, whose sudden failure
occasioned considerable surprise in
Oregon City, went into business here
several years ago and built up a fine
trade. About a year ago, however, he
joined forces with Barde and they
opened a chain of stores, maintaining
clothing establishments at Salem, Cor-
vallis and Hood River. These ven
tures did not work out satisfactorily
and the firm was plunged into the
bankruptcy court. Ever since the Ore
gon City store was closed, Mr. Levitt
has held on to his lease of the lower
floor of the Barclay building, which
is unusually well situated for a retail
store, and it is possible that he may
yet arange to resume business in Ore
gon City.
Lack of available working capital at
a critical period is said to be the pri
mary cause for the failure of the
firm. At the time it was thrown into
bankruptcy, its assets were placed at
$112,908 and the liabilities at approx
imately $140,900. It is probable that
the stock of each of the four stores
will be sold separately.
MOLALLA TO HAVE
BRIDGE NEXT YEAR
Molalla will have a new bridge over
its river as soon as the danger from
flood is over and the construction
work can progress without interfer
ance from high water. -.
The county court has listened to
tales of plans and specifications and
has decided that it will allow the ap
propriation for the bridge as soon as
the work can be completed without
interference or danger of damage.
To award the contract at this sea
son of the year would, in the judg
ment of the court, throw the actual
work during the period when the wa
ter in the river is at its heighth and
would endanger all of the sub-structure
erected during the work. As
soon as the flood danger is over, the
court plans to advertise for bids on
the cost of the work and to have the
bridge rushed through to early com
pletion. Talk Improvements.
Roads and bridges through the
county have been the subject of con
siderable discussion in the court room
during the last few days of session
and has attracted a great deal of at
tention from the members of the
court.
Among other things, the commis
sioners have considered the plan of
allowing the several districts tff use
the money that is raised within their
limits for actual work on their own
roads and to take none of that money '
for roads in other parts of the county.
Several arguments along this line
have been made to the board by those
who are interested in the improve
ment of the county highways and the
matter has been placed on the table
for future determination.
