8 THE MORNING OREGONI AN, FRIDAY,, APRIL 19, 1901. GREAT INTEREST IN DOGS AWARD OP ALL PRIZES THE SPECTALS. EXCEPT Increased Attendance at the .Second Annual Exhibit of Portland Kennel Club. Judging in the bench show of the Port land Kennel Club "was completed yester day, and all the prize-winners proudly wore the blue, red and white ribbons that indicated their superiority over the other dogs in their class. Interest in the show was greater than on the opening day, and crowds watched the judges in the ring at work with the dogs. Judge Cole finished the sporting dogs in the morning, and Judges Stewart and Nairn devoted the rest of the day to judging the collies and small breeds. At 3 P. M. today will be awarded the special prizes. which have been presented for the best? dogs in various classes.

The story printed In The Oregonlan about a month ago to the effect that Mrs. Jacob Danner, who Is divorced from her husband, had eloped with John.Wat rin, -who has a wife living on the East Side, is denied by Mrs, Danner's daugh ter, who is a nurse ln a local sanitarium. Miss Danner yesterday made the follow ing statement: "The story'that my mother had eloped with Mr. Watrln is entirely "false. My mother was ln this city at the time of the publication of the stories, and did not leave with Mr. Watrin. She left town accompanied by her younger daughter some time subsequent to Mr. Watrln's departure, and Is not now nor has she been with him. "My mother has been divorced from my father for the past 10 years. She left the city that she might have peace, and Some of tHe Jonathan Bourne Jr. -making -the e" ffort OF H UFE. be free from my father's annoyance and Interference. While here she was con tinually annoyed by him, her life being rendered burdensome. John Watrln signed a bond for my mother while she was in litigation with my father, and this so J arousea jars, watnn's jealousy tnat sne deserted her husband and brought suit, for divorce, which was denied her by Judge Cleland. "My mother is and always has been a hard-working, honest woman. She raised and educated her children, and has earned her own living for the past 1G years. She., has not disgraced herself now. So far as' leaving here Is concerned, she Is freexjfnd Independent to do as she pleases. She owes no one, and can go where she likes." Lecture Cost Him His Job. EMPORIA, JCas., April 18.

His relations with the president and faculty have been strained ever since his notable lecture,, and It Is thought influences were brought to bear on the regents against him.

Bovrers of Tacoma Wins in First Round of Men's Open Champion- Khip Mixed Foursomes. Golfers In bright-colored attire thronged the links of the Waverly Golf Club yes terday at the opening of the club's sixth annual Spring 'meeting. The day was perfect for golf, clear and sunny, and not too warm to make the gentle exer cise uncomfortable. All day over the links could be seen bits of color, bright scarlet or blue, or still more subdued tones In the golf 'coats of the men, while the women: appeared In white shirt waists or jackets of red. All the matches were closely contested, and as the victors re turned to the clubhouse from going over the course, the spectators sitting in the shade greeted them with hearty ap plause. The .events played yesterday were the mixed foursomes (handicap), the mixed approaching contest, clock golf, and the first rounds of the men and women's open championship of Oregon. At the clubhouse all day the attrac tion was clock golf, an innovation in Portland that proved popular. Sitting on' the veranda, the spectators could watch the contestants putting at the hole' on the sloping lawn, from the figures of the clock; The irregular distance of the hole from the putting points, and the slope of the green, made the' feat of holing the ball a difficult one, and-consequently In teresting to all the golfers. The men's prize was won by S. D. Bowers, of Ta coma, who scored 16," arid that for women by Mrs. T. Kerr, who made 15. Wirt Minor, Zera Snow and ,Dr. A. A. Mor rison also made good scores. The m'xed foursome handicap competi- ,. , j, . .t-- l .. to scorea no, ana v.. xauui jvy,io " ; Sibson, score 107, handicap 9, net 98. The tie will be plajed off next week, as tne match can not be arranged during the meeting on account of lack ,of time. In the mixed approaching contcct, Jona than Bourne, Jr., won easily, his scores of G, 6, 7, 10 not being beaten, the nearest being 5. Bourne's approach shots were always made directly In line with tho flag, "and seldom overshot the mark, as did most of the players. Mrs. Zera Snow won the-women's prize with a score of 3. Women's Open Championship. The first round in the women's open championship resulted as follows: Mrs. Koehler defeated Mrs. Kerr, 1 up. Mrs. Snow defeated Miss Sibson, 4 up and 2 to play.

Claims have been presented, and allowed aggregat ing about ?26,000, and there are additional claims amounting .to about $11,000. in "the caee of Brown & Maddox vs. Oregon King Mining Company In the "United States Court yesterday, a motion to strike out parts of the complaint was sustained by Judge Bellinger and leave wa& given to amend the answer. L. C. Wllhelm was appointed adminis trator of the estate of his son, A. J.

The company has offered to compro mise for $100 damages. , The suit of Nels Pierce against the British 'ship Langsdale to recover dam ages in the sum of $5000 for Injuries sus tained by falling down a hatchway on board that ship, was on trial In the United StatesCourt before Judge Bellinger yes terday; Pierce was employed on board the Langsdale and fell Into the lower hold, breaking his left arm and wrist, so that, "as he alleges, he can never Tvork again. WHERE COMPLAINT LIES. Principal Objection to the New Propr . erty Redemption Law. H. E. Noble, in his comments on the law for the sale of land bid In by qountles, states that the complaint most made is that the delinquent taxpayer Is too much favored by remitting yie pen alties, 'when the fact is that there Is little or no complaint by the authorities on that score. Where taxes have been due for years past, It was considered no more than right that a penalty should be .exacted,, but the county officers are not stubborn about It, and recognize al ready, that the new law is working well and that the remission of the penalty Is resulting In a rush of people to pay back "taxes. The principal objection to the new act Is to that portion of It which provides for i the sale of property bid In by coun ties, on the first Monday after July 1 next, to the highest cash bidder, the sale to begin with the. latest year and proceed backwards In Inverse order, and that no property shall be bid In more than once, and that after sale, etc., no tax shall h. n Hpti ntrnlnof tha nrnnartv avran n I --. " o-"." m- ...., x... - i general effect. Through this means by bidding ln property for one year's tax when there may be taxes due for half a dozen years, the delinquent taxes are all wiped out ' This Is the feature of the bill which Is ln the Interest of Mr. Noble and other purchasers of tax titles. A property-owner can also bid In his taxes ln this way. In fact, one man who owes $3700 back taxes has already seated in the County Clerk's office that he thought he could bid in his property at the sale for a great deal less. With spirited oppo sition at the sale he might not succeed in doing so. The authorities object to this part 'of the measure because they believe they can do better by holding on to the rolls and collecting the taxes themselves. When the title to a piece of property is being perfected and taxes are paid the county gets all of the back taxes ln, and If the penalty Is lost It will not cut very much figure. At the July sale It Is possible for the property to be bid ln for even less than one year's taxes, as the law simply says the highest cash bidder. These taxes re ferred to are not necessarily mortgage taxes. There Is as much straight taxes delinquent as mortgage taxes or even more. Concerning the mortgage compa nies, it is expected that where they own the property by having acquired it through mortgage foreclosure, they will protect their interest at the sale or other wise as to mortgage taxes or any other kind of taxes due. The $30,000 collected ln the past few months Is all moneys collected for the county, city, school districts, etc.. and ndt -for Individuals. The Clerk of the County Court has also collected consider able for 'brokers on account of delinquent taxes bid ln by them, with, penalties. This is done right. along, as the office of the Clerk of the County. Court, being the place where the delinquent tax rolls are kept, Is naturally-the place where attor neys and others "go to make " settlement of old tax accounts. The books show to whom property was sold at delinquent safest and It Is no more than proper for the Clerk to receive the money for brok ers when redemption Is made. The broker having paid the .county what is due, Is entitled to haVe it collected for him when offered, with the interest The Clerk col lects a large share of the redemption moneys. ' County Judge Gray, of Clatsop County, expressed the . sentiment . of his section w,hen'he said that they were willing to sell the delinquent tax property to brok ers or anybody else, but expected all of the taxes due on the property, and not a very small portion of them.

COMPLIMENTS TO MR. NOBLE. M. L. Pipes Makes Use of a Classic Line' antl Translates It. Asked about Mr. Noble's letter, pub- i lished yesterday, M. L. Pipes said "Yes, I have observed Mr. Noble's fling at me. I did not know when The Oregon lan. asked me about this law that Mr. Noble was interested ln it It is not surprising that he cannot conceive of an .opinion about, anything that does not in volve, a 'private snap.' .1 did not even know of the existence of the law or the original bU until the day The Oregonlan asked 'me .about It. If I could have had any doubt that the law covered a graft. Mr. Noble's solicitude for It has removed the doubt This new role of public guardian, which lie now assumes for the first time, recalls a classic line: Tlmeo Danaos et dona ferentes, which being translated means: 'I am afraid 'there is a nfgger ln the woodpile.' " Mr. Bernstein's Rejoinder. Alexander Bernstein, when questioned by an Oregonlan reporter In regard to the statements In Mr. Noble's letter,, said: "Only at The Oregonlan,s request I give my views concerning the recent law regarding sales of delinquent tax certi ficates held by the county. I have no Interest ln this matter. The original law was sucrcested' and advocated by all the Ne west The .most complete assort ment ever hown by a high class clothing house.

PRICES RANGE FROM Great Special Sale In Men's Box Covert Overcoats some worth $18 and $20, only SAM'L THIRD AND MORRISON, County Judges of the state after dis- cusslon in their convention. I was not instrumental directly or indirectly ln the framing or drawing of the original bill which. Mr. Noble so warmly criticises. nor tht ln.w ns finnpferl which he so ard ently favors. He may be right in his criticism, and If so, it only fortifies my views concerning the late 'reform Leg islature. The substitute of one graft for another is no Improvement, and but a weak defense." JUSTICE TO SENATOR SWEEK His Conection With Certain State Lairs. New An Injustice was done to Senator Alex Sweek in the Salem correspondence of The Oregonlan, Wednesday, ln the state ment that his relatives were Interested ln the passage of a bill .Introduced by him January 15, one provision of which made taxes uncollectible if not collected within five years after being levied. The bill was printed In The Oregonlan of January 9, five days before the Legisla ture met, and five days before the Su preme "Court rendered its decision valid ating the mortgage taxes. "Under the" circumstances," said Sena tor Sweek, yesterday, "I do not see how any person can form the impression that the bill was intended to 'have any" effect upon & ..decision that was rendered five I days after a "synopsis of tne diu was published In The Orpgonian. The bill was .drafted by P. X.. Willis, of Portland, acting fqr the Taxpayers' League, with advice from Representative Nottingham, Deputy County Assessor Maxwell, and myself. The five-year clause was not In tended ! to be retroactive, but when the Supreme Court decided the mortgage cases the Senate committee on taxation realized that the provision opened an avenue for contest in the courts and struck It out. The bill as finally passed was known as Senate bilf 201. It was redrafted by me and does not contain the five-year provision. "I know nothing about the Senate pro- M1NIOR wA-j Ett THE LAO). cedure on House bill 11, which permits property-owners to redeem their property by paying delinquent taxes and costs, without the penalty. I paid no attention to It while it was ln the Senate, as I had other Important work on hand. It was re-drafted by the Senate committee on taxation, the chairman of which was Senator Booth. I., was Intimately assocl- ated with Senator Booth during the ses sion and found him a hard-working, con scientious legislator. I am confident that he would not recommend any measure except ln good faith. I consider the law a good one, as it protects the Interests of the county in the matter of costs on the property to be sold, and for the additional reason that It enables poor people to redeem property that they lost ln hard times. A similar law was en acted "In' Washington after the hard times and it worked good results. Wherein are the Interests of the county endan gered? The law provides that the prop erty' shall be sold to' the highest bidder. The county, If It wishes to protect Itself, from loss through the schemes of any person, has the right to be represented at the sale and to become the highest bidder. In a general way, the law alms at a general cleaning up of accounts, something like the National bankruptcy act. I think its operation will be found beneficial." Wheeler County Stock Notes.

The championship cup was. won pn that occasion by a JPortland team, con sisting of Messrs. Broomell, Barin, Mc Mlchaels and Huston. Last year the njeetf ng was to have been held at Seattle, but for some reason It did not material ize, and Tacoma offered to take over the affair, but was not allowed to do so. The players left ln good spirits and ln hopes of retaining possession of the cup. The women players modestly desired It to be understood that they were not adepts at the game of whist, but merely went along to. give countenance to and .encourage the men, but It Is understood that they are really very fine players.
