Briscoe, a, charcoal burner, of Tigardvllle. was fined $20 by Justice Kraemer yesterday for assault and bat tery on Henry Leckler, a neighboring farmer. The trouble occurred last Satur day over Briscoe's right to drive over a Toad running through Leckler's land. The ruts In the road had been fixed by Briscoe several times so that he could pass J through, but Leckler would dig them out again so -as to make the way impassable. The two met. one armed with a shovel to dig the trenches out, the other with a pitchfork .to till them in. The complain ing witness, Ieckler. who is .an elderly German, "was badly beaten about the head by Briscoe, who tised the fork handle, ho said, in self-defense. The only witness of the affray "was a Chinaman, whose testimony was Interpreted by another Ce lestial, who probably -understood Chinese all right, but whose English was wretched, a-nd the Jury had quite a time making .out what the witness was testifying to.

Yesterday noon, street-car No. 17 col lided with an ice wagon belonging to the Holmes Coal & Ice Company, at the In tersection of Fifth and Oak streets, and both car and vehicle were somewhat damaged.

Merwin. was watching the north-Txmnd car, and attempted to drive across ahead of It. when the south bound car struck his nigh "horse with cort eldorable force, pushing both team and -K-ason a distance of 20 feet before it could Jjo stopped. The horse was considerably I bruised about the bind quarters and cut 4-about the head, the forward dashboard of the cpr was crushed In, and one of the "windows .shattered. There were no pas sengers In the car at the time. The motorman and conductor .blamed the teamster for trying to dash across In front of the car; the teamster Jawed the carmen for running fast without ring ing a belL" A big block of Ice that had been jolted out of the wagon stood melt ing on the street, to mark the point of collision, while several other south-bound cars, were obliged to halt until the brakes could be pried open on No. 17, and the car started for the repair shop. Quite a crowd gathered and started hot arguments- as to vrho was to blame In the matter. PLANT WILL BE OVERHAULED Port of Portland Commission Awards Contracts for Repairs.

The case of" Patrolman Qulnton, sus pended from the police force for Insub ordination, will come up before the Po lice Commissioners Monday evening next. Mr. Qulnton, In speaking of the matter yesterday, said the trouble between Chief McLauchlan and him originated over a very trivial affair. A weekly paper had contained a squib accusing him of carry ing an umbrella while on duty. The Chief saw it, and called Qulnton down in regard to the umbrella. "I had never carried, an umbrella while on duty during my nine years' service on the police force," Mr. Qulnton said, 'and I thought the Chief was joking me about the matter. I replied Qulnton said, "and I thought the Chief and was thus suspended.- I was wrong, and should have kept my temper. I shall be satisfied with the result of the board's deliberations In the matter, howe er. If the Commissioners decide Jo look over the offense and reinstate me, I shall be pleased, while on the other hand, if they conclude to fire me, I wilMiave to stand It. I never had any trouble with the other members of the force, as has been hinted In one of the newspapers, nor do I think the Chief was displeased -slth me previous to this incident."

Evidence Tliat Charles JET. Hill, of Belknap Springs, Swindled7 the Government ior Two Years. Charles H. Hill, formerly postmaster" at Belknap Springs, on the McKenzIe River, was tried In the United States Court yes terday before Judge Bellinger and a Jury, on a charge of fraudulently Increasing the amount of stamps canceled at that office, In order to increase his remuneration. The jury, after being out a short time, returned a verdict of guilty. The proof against Hill was positive. It was shown that within a month or so of wh.en an account of the stamps canceled at the of fice had been kept, and the amount was 81 cents. It had been Increased to $16 6. NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR GKESHAM. Pdstal Inspector Clements was sent to in- I vestigate the matter and had ascertained I that this fraudulent increase of the amount of stamns canceled had been kept up for sbme time, and that Hill during' two years had increased his salary some $269. The worst "feature of the case Js that thexQfftce was what Is called an ac commodation office, "'maintained for kthe benefit of the springs and the visitors there, the mall service costing the Gov ernment many times more than the rev enue 'from the office. AS TO WAGONS -HAULING .EARTH, Appealed Case q City Against Con-' tractor C00U Argued, The case of Charles J. Cook, - a con- J tractori agalnst the City of Portland, to tno ordinanceJ makng it ""a mlsde.- meanor to drive, dirt wagons over certain streets was argued before "Judge Clelanrt yesterday and taken under advisement. The object of the" .ordinance is to pr vent earth from these wagons being scat tered along the principal business streets. Cook was convicted and fined In the Mu nicipal Court for violating the ordinance, and he carried the case to the higher court on a writ of review. Ed Mendenhall. attorney for Cook, ar gued that the- legislature has not glypn j the City Council power to pass sucn an ordinance, that It Is unreasonable and creates unjust discrimination, preventing one class, of citizens from exercising privileges enjoyed'by-others. He said'the ordinance- was unconstitutional. , - Fred W. Mulkey" representedthe city as counsel. Mr. Mulkey contended that the Council had power to make regula tions governing the use of the streets,' and the power to regulate carries with it the , power to .prohibit within certajh districts. The ordinance was reasonable, and there were a number of streets upon which to haul earth. Cook or others were not p're vented froih hauling dirt, but might sometimes have to take a somewhat circuitous route in so doing. There was no property right In cty streets, and there was no discrimination, because the ordinance applies to all per sons of the same class. DIVORCED "WIFE'S RIGHTS. Arguments In a Suit to Collect From Beneficiary Order. The question whether a divorced wife can collect Insurance from the A. O. U. W. on a policy Issued to the husband In her favor was argued before Judge Fra zer yesterday,, and will be decided after the court has examined the authorities submitted. The plaintiff Is Bmille Wat son, formerly the wife of Bernhard Klein, deceased. She obtained a divorce from him before his death, and married a man named Watson. All of the payments on Klein's .bene ficiary certificate were paid, and he made no change In the clause which designated this plaintiff as the beneficiary. The so ciety, however, contends that by the rules and regulations of the order a di-v vorced wife Is not entitled to receive In surance, and that Klein signed a writ ten application .which provided, among other things, that "compliance with all the regulations and requirements which are or may hereafter be enacted by the order is an express condition upon which I am entitled to participate in the bene ficiary fund " George H .Durham, attorney for-rthe defense, argued that on this showing Mrs. Watson was not entitled to the in surance money. George C. Stout and William Reid.'atr torneys for Mrs. Watson, argued that the by-law providing that a divorced wife Is not entitled to receive Insurance was passed by the order after Klein took out the certificate In 'her favor; that he never changed it. and the society contin ued to receive all dues and assessments due from him, and must pay the Insur ance. A decision by the Oregon Supreme Court was cited, which counsel said sup; ported their theory, and Judge Frazef promised to read It carefully. Counsel said laws will not be construed to be retrospective unless It is clear they were intended to be so, and this rule of in terpretation of statutes has frequently been applied In construing the by-laws of associations. ' TOO LARGE FOR THE BUILDING Oregon's Big Logs at Buffalo Moved With 'Roller and "Windlass. Buffalo Courier, May 24. Winches and rollers have- solved the problem of moving Oregon's two big tim bers from the railroad cars to their place In the forestry exhibit. These timbers have been the cause of H r,ot0hl mnv omnr, .rnnclflnn of ficlals, and for some time It looked a? If they would have to remain on the tracks or be shipped back home. This the Ore gon commissioners' declared should not be done, as they had been brought by the direct request of Director-General Bu chanan, who had promised to move any thing In the wayof a log that Oregon could furnish. Colonel Dosch, who hasihe general- su: I erlntendence of Oregon's exhibits, says he did not bring the biggest he could find, but when the two he did., bring arrived here the Director-General was nonplussed. One of them is a sawed log Si inches square and 74 feet long. The other Is still in its rough stater Is not so .long, but has a diameter of seven feet. ' As the railroad tracks could not be ex tended to the forestry building, the only feasible plan for moving the big timbers was to put them on rollers and move them with a powerful windlass. TheJiewn stick was moved yesterday. It is too large to-go in" the building, but occupies a place alongside. RAILWAY TIE BUSINESS. It tUe Sandy Were Improved, Traffic Wauld Be Increased. A. very large business has been done In railroad ties In the eastern part of Mult nomab County for some years past, and the wearing out the' roads in that section by teams hauling these ties has been a source of constant "worrlment to the Board of County Commissioners. Now a great many ties are rafted down the Sandy and loaded on the cars at Troutdale. There are four mills on the' Sandy sawing rail road ties exclusively, and the Star Sand Company, of this city, has just built 450 feet of side track on their property ad joining the Union Meat Company's prop erty at Troutdale, and has moved their tie elevator there and put In stronger ma chinery! so that they can elevate 4500 ties out of the river onto the cars In a day. There are three drives of ties on their day down the Sandy now, and by Satur day there will be 150,000 ties at Troutdale. There will be six weeks or two months when ft will be safe to drive ties down the Sandy, out they must be gotten out of the iway before the freshet, which oc-1 curs ln August or September, when the' snow melts around Mount iiooa. If the,Sandy were Improved several more tie mills which have about exhausted the timber In their vicinity would move to the river.' The' County Commisslo'ners, by spending a few hundreds dollars in im proving the Sandy would relieve" the coun- I ty roads of a large part qf the tie hauling irainc, -ana save mucn money unrepairs. The business of supplying railroad ties for the market Is assuming large propor tions in many places in this region, and there is a regular gang of drivers or rafts men, who do nothing but raft ties. They go from one stream to another, spending a few- days in Portland between Jobs,' and they receive about 3 cents per tie for raft ing. There are but few ties cut which are not sold to- some railroad or other. Some, roads" have use for second-class ties, an,d many which cannot be used by railroads afe sold street railways The railroads pay about 24 cents for ties. Some mills in the eastern part of this county have to pay 8 cents for hauling their ties to 'the railroad, while the mills which can raft their ties save about 5 cents of this cost. ' MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHTS. Iet Brotherly lKve Prevail, and None of the Dead Be Forgotten. PORTLAND, May 29. (To the Bditor.) Today we assemble to give honor to the departed dead, and today we follow the beautiful custom of decorating 'the graves of our. departed comrades a noble and deserved tribute to the courage and pa triotism that upheld, ' In our country's need, the glorious emblem of liberty that waves aboyg our heads. The friends that wo mourn -for are gone, but the senti ments that Impelled them to lay down their lives are enthroned In "the minds of their children and descendants, and while God gives power to the "American heart to cherish the sentiments that have made this country the synonym of liberty and freedom, so we will find others to emu late, If the occasion arises, the glorious and inspiring example shown by these great heroes. As we look around, and view the bounteous productions which Na ture has provided, and which the hard ships and trials undergone by- the old soldiers have made accessible to us, a -feeling of gladness must permeate our bodies, and a, thrill of joy fill our souls, as we look to' heaven and give thanks for the blessings we enjoy. As the years roll by, the great army I of loyal veterans is rasi, Demg cauea iu tlje standard of their supreme Command er; its ranks are becoming thinned and diminished.' The reunions at which the .veterans loved to gather know themno' more. Soon their earthly muster will be a thing of the past, but they will hot Tie forgotten, for while the grand old flag for which they fought and bled remains 'tb gladden the human sight, their mem ory will remain loved and venerated. i 'On this day of forgiveness, let us not iorget our brothers of the South. What ever mistaken feeling they once enter tained, time and death have eraced; let us meet them with a heart full of Christian and brotherly love, and, clasping hands over the graves of the heroes of both North and South, endeavor to t cement stronger the feeling of duty "and loyalty we, as Americans, owe to the Union. !

Let WaeelBea'a Associations Agree .on the Routes -and the Board"' - "Will Do the Rest. y The Board of County Commissioners yesterday declared that they are willing to assist the wheelmen In the construc tion of bicycle paths in the city limits after the bicycle associations have decid ed what paths they desire. At the Com missioners' meeting yesterday it was agreed that the associations request the Common Council to grant permission for paths on certain streets, and then bring the matter before the Commissioners, ,who will then determine what can be done. The courtroom was filled with bicycle riders, and among the representatives of the associations were E. C. Bronaugh, C. E. Rumelln, T. Brook White,' R. C. Wright and R. G.. Morrow. Mr. Bronaugh, representing tho Tax payers Council, addressed the board, saying: "It was called to our attention that the Commissioners have ordered paths constructed outside the city, and we ask to have the situation relieved Inside the city limits. Speaking for the Common Council, I can say the Council has approved the building of patha to thq bridges. The city having given Its consent, we think, in justice to the peo ple we represent, these paths should be built before more are built outside- the city." "How would you construct these paths?" asked Judge Cake. "We -have not taken up that matter yet," .answered Mr. Bronaugh, "but we have discussed the general proposition, and believe the paths can be laid out all right." Judge Cake remarked that there was no question .about the court agreeing to the advisability of having paths In the city, and he suggested that the represen tatives of the bicycle organizations dis cuss the matter together, after the for mer had decided where they would like to have the paths constructed. R. G. Morrow, secretary of the Multno mah Bicycle "Assocla'tlon, submitted, the following communication: - "Portland, Orf. May 29, 1901. "To the Hon. County Commissioners: "On July 19, 1900, the City Council, , by Its ordinance No. 11,669, give permission and authority to the County .Commission ers to construct and maintain certain bi cycle paths in this city,, in a manner and of such material as shall he approved by the Board of Public Works and the City Engineer. ' ' "Inquiry at the office of the City Engi neer shows that no application has ever been made for plans or specifications in order that you may proceed with the con struction of these paths. "The paths mentldned In the .ordinance" among others, are the approaches to the' different bridges. Every rider knows, for example, that the road from Third street to the BurnsJde Bridge is as rough as that of Old Jordan, and this ls( one of the places 'you now have permission to Improve -in the matter of a good path. "The Multnomah County Bicycle Asso ciation, composed of .riders who are pay ing their wheel licenses, now respectfully protests against further expenditure of money on country roads until these more' important city paths are built, where i the riders number a thousand to one on the other referred to. "We believe the Commissioners to be our trustees for the expenditure of the bicycle path funds," and that they are, equally Interested .with us in doing justlcef'to those, 'and, speakjng for the riders who have paid this morning who contributed " to that fund, we believe we should have a voice In Its expenditure, and we wish It to go where it will be of benefit to the greatest possible number of. riders; and we ask in behalf 'of all rid ers that you take steps for. immediate construction of the city paths. Respecu fully submitted, "THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY, BICY CLE ASSOCIATION." . , Mr. Morrow laid particular stress on the necessity for a bicycle path for three blocks on Crosby street, at the east ap proach to the steel bridge, where there Is absolutely no accommodation for wheel men In muddy weather.
