LATE HOURS AND FAST LIVING Witnesses Say Younsr Dentist Did Not Slacken HIk Pace -Even During: Wife's Illness Mother-ln-Iia-tv Denies Meddling:. The defense had ita inning yesterday in the Davls-Nicolai damage suit. Judge George refusing to grant the motion for a nonsuit. Dr. W. H. Boyd testified that he at tended LrJcy Davis at the time of the birth of her child and succeeding illness, and that Davis was out late at night, and his absence from home had a disquietlns effect on the patient. Dr. Boyd admitted that Davis never paid the bill, and denied owing Davis for dental work performed for members of his family. Mrs. H. Kenny, a nurse, testified in a similar manner. Mrs. E. E. Robertson, who before her marriage was employed as a domestic in the Davis household, testified that Davis stayed out late at night, once until day light. At one time she had to almost pull him out of bed to make him get up for breakfast. "I told him," said the wit ness, "I wasn't surprised at his being .sleepy,- staying out as late .as he did, and he answered, 'Don't you say a word about it to Mrs. Davis,' and that's a God's fact," concluded 'Mrs. Davis dramatically. Dr. William Elsen was called, but de clined to testify concerning the facts sought to be elicited from him, on the jjround that it was a professional secret. Harry Nicolai testified about the late hours kept by Davis, and that Davis as sociated at Long Beach with Lydla Smith, who 'was otherwise known as "the widow." John A. Kissel, a half-brother of Mrs. Ivlcolal, who Is clerk and bartender In a hotel at Sumpter, testified that Davis, while at that place, drank some, and he also stated that Davis told, him a story about a great time he had at Baker City and that women were in the patty. A deposition from a witness at Nogales, Ariz., was read, which tola that Johnny Davis, while at that place, worked behind a roulette wheel, also as a bartender, and that he drank some and was seen' with women. It also appeared by this deposi tion that Davis father-in-law, Theodore 2CicoIaI, sometimes drank with him, and spoke of buying a saloon at Nogales and setting Davis up in business. Mrs. Hanna Nicolai occupied the witness stand yesterday afternoon. Her evidence consisted largely of denials of charges made against her by Davis, or that she had done anything to cause her daughter to leave him. She said there was no hos tility on her part. 6he did not desire to break up the family, and told her daugh ter to consider well before separating from her husband. HAS EPILEPTIC FITS. Martin Allen, Charged With High Tray Robbery, Is Afflicted. "Most states take care of this class of people in institutions provided for crim inally insane," said Dr. Harry Lane in Judge Cleland's court yesterday refer ring to epileptics. "It is wrong to place them in the asylum, among good people who are insane but not. criminals. There is no place in Oregon, and that is to the shame of the state, to take care of such people." Dr. Lane gave this testimony at the trial of Martin Allen on a charge of highway robbery. Allen Is accused of having held up J. W. Putney near Univer sity Park, several weeks ago with a rifV and taking 25 cents from him. T) arrest was made soon afterwards t lflcer B. N. Smith and the prisoner we Identified by his assailant. Dr. Lane was informed by Jailer Jackson that Allen has bad fits in the County Jail since his incarceration, and also received family history to the effect that the young man suffered with epilepsy. Accepting all this as true the physician expressed himself as follows: "His mind is diseased, and it is dangerous for him to be outside. He might do anything at any time. He is the most dangerous man in this room." The doctor further stated that It was death to put such persons In the peniten tiary. One might be at work In the foun dry, for Instance, and be seized with a fit at any time, and fall into a fire. Dr. Lane also testified that Martin Allen has a typi cal epileptic head. He never saw htm have a fit, but had been told by Allen that he sometimes had four or five fits in a day, and other days not any. The doc tor said the cause of these fits Is un known. Sometimes a blow on the head, or pressure on the brain might cause them and they would cease or become less fre quent with the removal of the pressure. In some cases people had fits without any known cause at all, and sometimes there was insanity with epilepsy. A witness named Kimball was called for the defense, and testified that Allen was considered somewhat "off" by his acquaintances. The mother of the prisoner, who resides at Kern, Cowlitz County, was also called as a witness, but was unable to tell any thing concerning her sod bai'ing had fits except from hearsay. Harry Kretzer testified that Allen was hired by Chris Simpson to watch a hay stack at the race track, which was being torn down by boys, and Simpson fur nished Allen with the rifle which was exhibited in the courtroom as having been used in the hold-up. Kretzer stated that the instructions given to Allen by Simpson was only to shoot up in the air to frighten the boys. District Attorney John Manning, who is prosecuting the case opposed the defense of criminal insanity because of epileptic fits, saying it was merely a scheme to get Allen off. B. S. Pague appears as at torney for the defendant. The case will be submitted to the jury this morning. THEIR. MARRIAGES A FAILURE. Mlsmatcd Couples Are Separated by Decrees of Divorce. Judge Cleland separated a number, of mismated couples yesterday. The bonds of matrimony existing between Orin R. Baker and Alfredla O. Baker were dis solved because of the desertion of Baker by his wife. They were married at Mis soula In January, 1895, and he testified that she left him on September 4, 1900. and the last time he heard of her she was in Wallace, Idaho. Minnie Balmer testified that she was married to George Balmer in San Francis co on May 15, 190L Three months later he was called on a strike and commenced drinking, and was drunk for a week at a time. She said he became utterly worth less, falsely accused her of infidelity, and did not support her. One day he told her that he would finish her when he came home, and said he did .not need any weapon, but could do the work with his hands, meaning that he would strangle her.

Blanche Gordon was granted a divorce from Andrew Gordon, the (well-known confectioner.

The people of Sellwood want a park, and have taken up the matter of securing grounds on the "Willamette River, between bpokane and Umatilla avenues. A meet ing of the Sellwood 'Improvement Associa tion has been called for next Friday even ing, September 25, to consider " this and other qiiestlona D. M. Donaugh, president of the asso ciation, says that an effort will be made to get the Oregon Water Power &. Rail way Company to allow Its grounds be tween bpoicane ana umatuia avenues to be used as a park. It would be necessary to get the streets vacated through this ground. There Is alreaay a nice grove there. By putting In water and making some improvements, an attractive park could be made. It is on the lino of the new branch of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, and the landing of the new Sellwood ferry will be at the foot of Spokane avenue. It was expected that the railway company would put its ma chine shops and carbarn between Spokane and Umatilla avenues, but It Is announced that these buildings will occupy a, portion of City View Park grounds. Subscrip tions to the amount of $1500 were raised as an Inducement to the company to locate on the former grounds. The matter of using this money to secure a park will be considered at the coming meeting of the improvement club. "We will make a vigorous effort to get a park," said Mr. Donaugh. FAVORS MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. Milvrnultie Conncilmen Believe 'It Would Be Economy In the End. "I am In tavor of the city owning the water works, aqd believe it would be economy In the end," remarked Council man C. Kerr, of Milwaukle, yesterday. The matter Is pending before the Coun cil, and among Councilmen there is a dif ference of opinion, at least two other CViunpllmpn arculntr with Mr. Kerr. J. L. Johnson has asked for a 30-year franchise for a company which he represents. May or William Shindler is somewhat con servative when it comes to going in debt, and hesitates about approving tlie Issue of bonds to build a plant. Mr. Kerr said fur ther: "If a private company can make a profit out of the investment, I don't see why the place cannot do the same thing. I am in clined to think, however, that the esti mate of $5000 as the first cost is too small, and I believe that $10,000 would be nearer, but what if it should be that sum? We could get the money easily enough. To a private company we would have to pay t.wice as much as we would if the city owned and operated the plant. "But on the whole we know very little about this matter of building water works. We should have the advice or an engineer. Everybody thinks there Is no trouble about laying pipe. Anybody can do that, but that Is not all there Is about water works. We shall neea to know about what size pipe is needed, the pressure and quantity of water required, all of whlcn is a problem for an engineer to work out. It will not do to go into this business without knowing what we are about. I am not afraid of the debt we might have to incur in getting a water plant, for the rates would take care of that." Mr. Johnson promises to place before the Council at Its next meeting his proposi tion In full. It is probable that the peo ple .of Milwaukle will be given an oppor tunity of voting on the question whether they favor or oppose municipal ownership of the water plant at the city election In December, when a new set of officers will be chosen. - South Mount Tabor Railway. Ralls have been laid to the corner of West avenue and the Section Line road ori the South Mount Tabor extension of the Hawthorne branch of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company. The track Is being ballasted, and cars will probably be In operation In two or three weeks. This branch will give South Mount Tabor electric railway connection with Portland, and it is expected that the line will be extended to Multnomah Hall eventually. East Side Notes. Newton McCoy has returned to his home at 654 Hancock street.

Mayors of a score of the most important American cities have accepted invitations to the centennial banquet, which, will close the Jubilee week. A number of other distinguished men in public life also have sent acceptances. Among the Mayors who have Indicated that they will be present are: Rolla Wells, St. Louis; James A.

The Industrial committee has notified all the merchants along the line of march re garding decorations for Tuesday, Septem ber 29. More than 60 floats are under con struction. Ground was broken In Lincoln Park yesterday for the Fort Dearborn blockhouse, to be finished In a week. No Rnsh About Moving Postofllce. The Postofflce officials and employes have In mind the fact that they will have to move before long, but are not expecting to have to gat up. and dust in any hurry. While the 'Portland Cracker Company has commenced evacuating the. Snell-Heltshu building, progress Is slow. As there are five floors packed with goods it Is thought hardly probable that the building will be ready to move into before November 1. As the proposed extension of the Post office building will cover most of the ground between the present west front and Sixth street, the greater number of trees on that side of the Postofflce grounds will have" to be removed. A handsome holly tree and young larch which are a little to the north and south lines of the build ing will also have to go, as they are so: situated as to be n the way of jthe work men. There are two very handsome dwarf yew trees which will also have' to go. These attract much attention on account of the dark color of, their foliage and- the singular appearance of the red fleshy re- ceptacles surrounding the seeds, which look like some high bush huckleberries. The janitor has been Instructed to secure the preservation of these trees, and sev eral very handsome young cedars, and they will probably be transplanted to the. Custom-House grounds. One of the large tamarac trees which could hardly be transplanted will probably be cut down. There is a bench mark of the United States Geological Survey in the grounds and two stone pillars set by the same sur vey, to enable purveyors to test the ac curacy of their compasses, which will have to be removed, as the addition to the building will cover -the ground they are. placed in. . There will be plenty of time probably to do all these things before work on the building 13 commenced.. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Swarthqut, of Cen tralla, Wash., are at the Perkins. Edwln S. Booth, one of the leading law yers of Butte, Mont., is at the Portland. Dr. Maxim Schumann has returned from a long Summer's outing' In the mountains. A. B. Hammond, of San Francisco, pres ident of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, arrived yesterday and Is at the Portland. Sheriff T. D. Taylor, of Umatilla County, and J. A.

They came to bring an. insane patient to the asylum. jjamcs Monaghan and his daughter, of Spokane, are at the Portland on' their way home from San Jose, Cal., where they have spent some days. Mr. Monaghan Is one of the original owners of the Cariboo mine at Camp McKlnney, B. C, but sold his Interest for a good round sum to a Canadian company some years ago. "Spokane is in a healthy condition, for mining is active all around there, but farming and the lumber industry also help to keep It growing," he said. Among the arrivals at the Portland yes terday was W. B. L. Behr, of London, England, who Is largely Interested In the Importation of canned fruit from Cali fornia to Europe, and Is looking over the field In Oregon. "We do not ship any fruit from Oregon because there is no de mand for Oregon fruit so far. The Eng lish market Is full up just now. It varies every season, for It depends on climatic and social conditions. A bright, warm Summer and many social affairs create an active demand. England is still suffer ing from the business depression caused by the Boer War and many of the leading families are still In mqurnlng for those killed in the war. Taxes are also high on account of the war debt. All these things have their effect on our trade." A party of 25 well-to-do farmers and merchants of Dufur, Wasco County, has been spending the week at the State Fair at Salem and many of them arrived at the Perkins yesterday to spend another week In Portland. Those who are now here are: State Senator and Mrs. T. H. John ston, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Vanderpool, Mr. and Mrs. M. Slgman, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Vanderpool and their daughter, Mrs. L. Moad, Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Hessler, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. S. Ward. "The country around Dufur raises the biggest crops in Oregon," said Senator Johnston, "and we have sold our wheat at good prlccs-6S cents and over. . Johnston Bros.' crop averaged 46 bushels, and Mr. Sigman's 48 bushels an acre. The soli Is naturally rich,' and we '.husband Its strength by Summer fallowing it and feeding stock on it during the fallow year." - NAMPA, Idaho, Sept. 18. (Special.) B. H.
