12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FEIDAY, MAY 1, 1905. "LOOK" SAYS CREAGH "isn't this a beastly suitt" asks the: famous horseman. Jlb& He Svrears Tbat He Will Fight to the Last B-ltcb. Before He Pars Hii Tailor Another Cent. John- Creagh, famed far and near for horsemanship, huntsmanshlp, sportsman ship and other masculine graces, swears by the great hornspoon or In trays Just as emphatic that he won't pay another cent on that suit of clothes. Mr. Creagh -wears the suit every day he does not send It to the tailor's for re pairs. The cloth has a very charming design, speckled -with pepper and salt, but It falls to be Bannockburn tweed, 24 karat fine. At least this Is what Its mar tyred wearer says. "It's beastly; Its disgraceful," he de clares. "See that patch? Had to do It to keep the trousers from pulling asun der," and Mr. Creagh exhibited the seat of the offending garment as prima facie evidence. "That patch cost 35 cents," he lamented. All the fine contours of Mr. Creagh's Apollo Belvedere form are lost under its baggy, sinuous folds. How that gentle man with his delicate sense of dress and his more delicate sense of sartorial pro priety could clothe himself In such in artistic garments makes all his friends open wide their eyes. They wonder who is at fault Creagh or his tailor. Mr. Creagh says he is In duty bound to advertise to the public the poor tonsorlal art of Ervin & Co., tailors. So there you are. And so there is Mr. John Creagh. This Is wfiy Mr. Creagh will not be the Beau Brummel of Port land until that suit of clothes wears out. This Is why the tailors have sued Mr. Creagh for $25. half the alleged value of said suit of imported Scotch tweed or Bannockburn tweed, being the coat, waistcoat and trousers, together with the best quality of lining. Therefore, Mr. Creagh has two suits, one of which he is wearing on his body, and both of which are wearing on his mind. He has already paid $25, 510 more than his alleged value of the clothes. Be ing "robbed" of that number of hard plunks of the realm, he is chafed in his mind as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field. A reporter called on the gentleman yes terday. The visitor was met at the door by a secretary or clerk or what not other dignitary, who mounted guard like Cer berus. The reporter went through a more minute examination than his mother used to give him when she washed his face years ago. After a short, suspicious cross-examination, the reporter's mission was divulged, and Mr. Secretary went into the secret holy of holies of Mr. Creagh. "When he emerged the visitor was ushered into the audience which he sought, and Mr. Creagh submitted to an Interview. "Have a seat; have- a seat," said the host, graciously. "Here's some paper. You wish to write, don't you? No?" and Mr. Creagh sighed. "How long," asked the visitor, "will Er vin & Co. have to whistle for their mon ey?" Tailors Will Have to Whlntle. "A mighty long time," was the firm re sponse. "I'll fight to the last ditch. I'll, I'll" After a pause the injured gentle mon resumed: "When a man owes, me $50 and can't pay I'm as patient as any creditor. But let a man try to cheat me out of $3 and well, I won't stand it, that's all." "Then you are a thorough American?" "I? Oh, no; I'm Irish. I'm Irish. That's why I won't bo cheated," and Mr. Creagh raised himself on his tiptoes as If he were very proud, indeed. It was quite apparent that the warmth of the reception was cooling down sev eral degrees and that a ruse was neces sary. Mr. Creagh's superb horsemanship was adopted as the topic for the ruse. It worked like a charm. Mr. Creagh flushed up and smiled all over. "You never saw me ride?" he responded, Innocent of all vanity. "Come out to the Hunt Club some day, some day when we have a paper chase," and the gentleman's eye sparkled, his nostrils dilated and for the moment he was astride Lady Mollle riding like Jehu, son of Nlmshl. Then his eye fell on his clothes again and he came out of his trance. "I never rode a horse," he resumed, "with these clothes on. I have two riding eults." "Is this the only business suit you have?" "Oh, no, I have three. I send out one every week to be cleaned and pressed. Costs $1 a month, you know." Say Trousers Are Too Short. The suit which Mr. Creagh wore looked as If It hadn't been creased for some time, eo full was It of wrinkles, and bags and sags. "When I pull up my trousers," ho said, "like this, the way they ought to be, you seo they won't reach any further down than the tops of my boots." Then Mr. Creagh let his trousers drop again with the result that the eymmetry and sightliness of the re gion where his lower extremities are hitched to his body, were completely con cealed. It will be Interesting to the aver age reader to be Informed that Mr. Creagh's legs are about six inches longer than his trousers. Hence the tailor who did such indignity to the person of Mr. Creagh is a miserable wretch or Is no lover of the art beautiful. "See this seam?" resumed Mr. Creagh, tracing it down the Inside of his leg. "Now watch it as I lift my leg." The seam stubbornly refused to follow the femoral artery and even came out on the upper side of the leg. "Isn't that beastly?" he commented lugubriously. "Isn't it dis graceful? And see this patch. I had to have it put there to keep the trousers from falling asunder." Mr. Creagh then performed some more antics. "See me lift my arm," he re marked. "Look how it lifts the- whole coat with It. Look at the wrinkles at the shoulder. "Why, I can't lift my arm. See how the scams ?et all out of place. Bah! It's beastly. It's nasty. It's a disgrace ful job. . "See the lining," he continued, whirling around on his heel and throwing open his coat. "It's all turning green. Green, mind you, green. And they said they would put in the best lining and use the best Bannockburn tweed, all for $50." "Isn't this Bannockburn tweed?" "That." snorted Mr. Creagh In reply, "that is a cheap American Imitation, my other tailor says, made at Philadelphia." Mr. Creagh looked exceedingly Injured as if an irreparable outrage had been perpe trated on his person. He Will Flsht to Lasit Ditch. "I'll never pay another cent," the gen tleman exclaimed valiantly, "not an other cent. I'll fight to the last ditch." "Will you take It to the Supreme Court?" "Well, no; the Circuit Court is as high as I can go. Tou see It's only $23." "What are the clothes worth, Mr. Creagh?" The gentleman's mustache twitched dis dainfully, his ruddy face grew ruddier and he -exclaimed: "I could get a better suit ready made for $16 and I've already paid $25. I offered to compromise for $10 more but Ervin & -Go. wouldn't accept. Then they assigned the account to a man named Schultz and "he brought suit. "Who Is Schultz?" "Oh. he's nothing but a common jour neyman tailor." "Have you worn the clothes very much?" "Not over two months In all, but you see in what beastly condition they are. I got them about six months ago. At first I wore then only on Sundays and even ings, but they soon got too beastly for that. I took -them back to the tailor's sev eral times to get them put into better shape; but you see how they are." "Perhaps they are suing you on ac count of your fame as a horseman." Mr. Creagh was Immensely pleased at this suggestion. "I gave the order for the clothes last September," he went on. "I paid $10 then. It took them .one whole month to make the suit. Then I paid $15 more. Those trousers are horrible. They look like a pair of, of" "Bloomers?" suggested the reporter. "No, I mean those blue things called over over " "Overalls?" "That's It; overalls. They look like over alls. It's a shame. It's beastly. And they don't come down to my boots when I lift them up." "Do you say boots or shoes in the old country?" "Boots, young man, boots. I said boots. That's what you should call them here." "The cloth is handsome, anyhow," ven tured the young man. "But look at It. Why, if you hold it up to the light you can shoot straws through it. If this was Winter time I couldn't wear It at all," and Mr. Creagh shivered dismally just as if the bleak blasts of December were finding the holes in it. "Do you think I could?" Learned counsel will argue for both par ties to the suit in Justice Reld's Court. The foregoing indicates that Mr. Creagh has his Dutch up, or rather his Irish. Now he has another tailor. Meanwhile he wears a suit that hangs on blm as if he were a scarecrow. THREE ACTS OPPOSED. Talk of Invoking: the Ref erendam oa Them. EUGENE, April 30. (To the Editors It will be of Interest to the readers of The Oregonian to know that the efforts being made by the mining companies, mer cantile companies and other interests in different parts of the state to have re ferred to the people at the 1004 election the question of repealing the portage railroad, corporation tax and exemption laws, passed by the last Legislature, afe meeting with success. I have Just come from Ashland, stopping at every Import- THE JACKSON-CALHOUN QUARREL Interesting Historical Account of Their Political and Per sonal Estrangement; Peggy Eaton's Share In the Affair. By special arrangement with Pearson's Magazine, The Sunday Oregonian of May 3 will publish the story of the famous quarrel be tween Andrew Jackson and John C. Calhoun. Peggy Eaton's share in it is entertainingly set forth. Jackson's one defeat by society women of Washington is by no means the least interesting part of the recital. The story is written by Edward IT. Vallandingham in a non partisan spirit, and will appeal to every American reader. ant town and city, and have found mucll Interest everywhere, and hundreds are signing the referendum petitions. Through this Immediate section there is but one opinion, and that is that the laws should never have been passed, and all are anx ious to see the questions submitted to the people, and, if they are lost at the polls, it is the general opinion that the matter should be tested in the courts. There is little doubt but that as the masses of the people, the working people, fully under stand the Import of these laws, they will at the polls order them stricken from the statute books. L. B. Beeder, ex-Speaker of the House, .who was with me In Southern Oregon two weeks ago, while discussing this question on the train, said: "Politics in Oregon today is simply a scramble for office. We would be much better off If the Legislature met only once every ten years. I am familiar with some of the Jobs put up by the Legisla ture by which Geer was thrown down for United States Senator against the ex pressed wish of the people at the last election, under the constitutional amend ment; Moody was called back from Wash ington, after having done more for the state than any Representative we have ever had there, with the possible exception of Tongue: and which gave us the Port age Railway, corporation capital tax bills, and took from the poor man his right of exemption from taxes and execution on his tools and household goods. It was a political trade, pure and simple, without regard to the Interests of the people." It Is Important for all to remember that the signing of these petitions renders all three of the bills Inoperative until after the election in June, 1901. It Is also well not to forget that the signing of the peti tions does not bind a man as to his vote at the polls, and that to submit the ques tions to the people harms no one. Already ! in Southern Oregon the assessors are at work under the new law as. laid down by House bill No. 292, and, unless that bill Is repealed, the worklngmen will have abso lutely no exemption from taxation and execution. The people down In this end of the state ask why it Is that if our last Legislature was so anxious to spend the people's money for some public work they did not hit upon a project that would be a per manent and a lasting benefit to all in the state. Why was not some money appro priated for the improvement of the bar at the mouth of the Columbia River, or the channel of the "Columbia River be tween Astoria and Portland? It would be just as sensible in the light of the Gov ernment work now under progress there, I as the Portage Railroad project. One hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars could well be spent by the state In aid of the Port of Portland's work In improving the Lower Columbia River and the Wil lamette River Harbor, where the Govern ment is doing no work. This would be business sense, but that commodity, busi ness men here think, was lacking among the members of tho last Legislature. W. C. COWGILL. NEWTON J. HENTON DEAD Was Prominent Citizen and City Re corder of Albany. Newton J. Henton, who served as City Recorder of Albmy, Or., from 1SS0 until 1S99, died at his residence at 392 Jefferson street, in this city, yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, of tuberculosis of the bowels.

Will Contest Her Divorced Hashaaa'a Salt, AlthoaKh Pre visa Decree ATrards Bar to Him. The legal contest between Dr. A. H. Wltham and his former wife, Clara WItham, for the custody of one of their children. Ernest Arthur Wltham. 10. years old. does not bid fair to'come to a speedy termination. Mrs. Wltham is prepared to fight for her rights. She obtained a divorce from Dr. Witham in October, 1S97, because of cruel treatment. They had three children, two girls and a boy, and she permitted the father to take the boy to bring him up and educate him. She asserts that he did not do this, but sent the child back to her at the expiration of 18 months. Now Dr. Wltham wants Ernest, and Mrs. Wltham says that as she has had to care for the child during the last four years, as well as the other two children, she will not give him up. She further states that Dr. Wltham who married Immedi ately after the divorce was granted, and has no offspring by his second wife, Ms wealthy and able to provide for all of his children, and does nothing for them. She admits that he sent a very small allow ance to help keep the boy. Tho matter came up again before Judge Cleland yesterday afternoon. T. J. Clee ton. attorney for Mrs. Wltham, argued that the return of Ernest to his mother by Dr. Wltham amounted to an abandon ment of any rights the father might have to the custody of the child provided for by the divorce decree. The attorney also maintained that Dr. Witham did not sup port the child. E. P. Mays, attorney for the father, disputed these statements, and after some little argument on both sides Judge Cle land granted the attorneys until Monday to make up their pleadings, when the case will be set for trial. The proceeding of l the father Is one of habeas corpus, based on the decree of the State Circuit Court at Prineville, in the divorce suit, award ing him the custody of his son. WOULD TORN' TABLES. Man Sued for Divorce Asks That Wife Par Him Money. William McFeeters. In answer to a di vorce suit filed by his wife, alleges that he transferred all of his property, valued at $4000, to her in Iowa about five years ago, and that afterward she left him. He states that he became ill, and she was very kind to him and told him that In his feeble condition he was liable to be defrauded of his holdings and had better turn over to her what he possessed, which he did. McFeeters further asserts that she subsequently leased the property and bought a place In another town. Later she went to visit her sons, and he visited relatives. He denies having deserted her, and says she abandoned him, and told him at her brother's home she would never live with blm again. -He alleges that she has a piece of property which he gave her which brings a rental of $3 per month. He asks for a divorce and also a decree giving him this Incomo for life. GAVE PROPERTY AWAY. And Noiv Creditor of Estate Wants to Get Her Money. John August Kuck, an old resident of Portland, shortly prior to his death, dis posed of all his real property, and gave the proceeds, ar-ountlng to about $9000, to Mrs. Annie Gourley, wife of Albert Gourley, a teamster. This statement is made by Mrs. Augusta Zeller in a com plaint which she filed .yesterday In the State Circuit Court against Mrs. Gourley to recover $S22 for nursing and boarding Kuck from September 6, 189S, until August 27, 1900. Mrs. Zeller now lives at Mount Tabor, and previously she resided with her hus band on Overton street, near Twelfth,' in a small house owned by Kuck. She al leges that she took care of Kuck for 23 months, and that the board furnished and services performed were reasonably worth $950. From this $138 is deducted for rent, leaving a balance of $S22 due. Kuck died on April 17 last, and the complaint recites that not long before he passed away he sold all of his property for nearly $9000 and gave all of the proceeds to Mrs. Gourley. The gift is alleged to have been made without consideration and against Mrs. Zeller's rights as a creditor. She says she presented her claim, but Mrs. Gourley re fused to pay it, although she paid the fu neral bill. It Is stated that from August 27, 1900, when Kuck ceased boarding with Mrs. Zeller, up to the time of his death, April April 17, 1903, Mrs. Gourley took care of him. Robert J. O'Nell appears as at torney for the plaintiff. Are Not Satisfied. Cases appealed from the Municipal Court were filed In the State Circuit Court yes terday as follows; Leo Brown, sentenced by Judge Hogue to 180 days In the County Jail for stealing $10 from George Jackson. Gus Routh, fined $100 for conducting a saloon without a license. W. H. Marshall, same offense, fined $100. Adam Gettman, fined $30 for embezzling $15 from his employer, R, C. Fritz. The appellants are all at liberty on bonds. The cases will be-set for trial at the May term of court. Death Sentence Today. George Smith was to have been sen tenced to death by Judge George yester day morning, but owing to the absence of Charles A. Petraln, Smith's attorney, the matter was continued until this morning. Court Notes. Laura H. Northup has sued S. C. Lyle In the State Cfrcuit Court to foreclose a mortgage for $700 on four lots in Columbia Heights executed to Nellie B. Gates. Mary Butler and Bettle Landrus, colored, charged with stealing $460 from Albert Eaton, were arraigned before Judge Cle land yesterday and were granted until Monday to plead. District Attorney Man ning, when he filed the Information against the women, asked for their arrest on a bench warrant, and they are now in the County JalL The suit of Frank and Richard Liese against Edward Llese, which was a part nership dispute, was dismissed in the State Circuit Court yesterday. The liti gants are engaged In the hide business, with a capital of $10,000. The complaint charged that Edward Llese was dissipat ing the bank account of the firm by draw ing checks payable to himself. The par ties seem to have settled the difference between them. Owing to the absence frqm the city of County Judge Webster, the-hearing of the petition to revoke the liquor license of Captain Schneider, set for yesterday, was contlnnued until Monday. Al Mendenhall, WE HAVE MOVED AND READY FOR BUSINESS AT I 246 WASHINGTON ST. COMMERCIAL BLOCK, Bet.. Second and Third THE KILHAM STATIONERY CO. attorney for Captain Schneider, has filed a demurrer to the petition, contending that tho license cannot be revoked, and Is good until it expires next November. The complaint against Schneider Is mere ly that his petition for a license, which he filed six months ago. and which was granted at that time, did not contain the names of the majority of the voters In the precinct. A remonstrance could have been filed before the "petition was approved by the court, but this was not done The license was for one year. BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER Several Pernons Identify Dead Mas. as Pat Pendergast. The body of a man supposed to be Pat Pendergast, of this city, was discovered in the river at the foot of Fifteenth street yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. While moving a scow tied- at the com pany's dock, Billy Martin, an engineer on the Star Sand Company's derrick, first noticed the body, lodged In some drift wood under the dock. Coroner J. P. Fin ley was notified and Immediately removed the body to the morgue. Several persons who saw the body taken from the water said they recognized it as that of Pat Pendergast, but, as the re mains were in such a decomposed state, it Is possible they may be mistaken in the identity. Pendergast "came here from Montana about 1S90, and for some time was the proprietor of a small blacksmith shop In the North Endy -of the city. Whether death was by accident or sui cide Is not known. Pendergast was a heai'y drinker, and may have fallen Into the river while in a state of intoxication. The Coroner's Inquest will be held this afternoon, and interment will follow im mediately. The deceased is not known to have any relatives, and In all probability the remains will be burled at the County Farm. CHILDREN WILL ATTEND.
