cool all day. The association has kept
the sprinklers going-, and it would be
bard to And a more pleasant spot. The
morning-, as usual, was spent among
the classes.
Dr. O. 3L Babbitt, of the Portland Y.
!M. C. A. and the instructor of the junior
class of physical culture, has about SO
pupils every morning-. He drills them
on the platform in the woods. He is
drilling them in a course of Indian
clubs and dumbells, and great interest
is taken in this class. Class evolutions
and games form the recreative part of
the course, but most of the time is
given to the exercises.
Miss Marceline Cross, the Chautau
qua postmistress, is a very busy young
woman. Her office, just inside the
gates, is a general bureau of informa
tion. She very obligingly takes care
of parcelb and bundles, and also has
charge of the public telephone. .
The afternoon's entertainment was
opened by Miss Johnson, who sang
"Heart's Springtime," and as an encore,
"When Love Is Kind."
Mrs. "White gave another of her lec
tures on art. She made a touching plea
to the wealthy man to see that he se
cured American paintings when he was
beautifying his home, and told of the
fakes that were perpetrated on the
American public In European countries,
how Americans were painting copies of
the famous masters in Paris and in
Italy, and that these copies were so
good that they were foisted on the un
suspecting buyer as originals. She
spoke in glowing terms of Paxham, the
Montana artist, who first won fame
through his Sitting Bull pictures. He
was the first and only one to paint Sit
ting Bull in his wild state. She herself
was the one to Introduce his pictures to
a dealer in Chicago, who remarked
when he saw some of them, "Jimminy,
I didn't know ther was a. Western man
who could paint Indians like that" She
mentioned Stewart, who first Intro
duced her to Mount Hood. "It was not
the American people who appreciated
the truth of the high coloring of his
picturos. but Europeans They had
been out to the West and wanted pic
tures of this country. Brush work was
what the teachers ought to teach In
the West to enable the Western artist
to put Individuality into his work."
Some of the Chautauqua ladies had
placed large wreaths of sweetbriar on
the table, and Mrs. White, fondling
them, remarked that they reminded her
of her English home.
This evening Lou J. Beauchamp. of Co
lumbus, O., lectured on "Take the Sunny
Side." The Chautauquans have had a fair
share of sunshine both day and night the
past few days, but Mr. Beauchamp had
perhaps the biggest audience that has
been in the auditorium this year; and
his audience was not disappointed. He Is
a rapid talker. His words come as fast
as shots from a Maxim gun and his sto
ries and illustrations are Intensely funny
and at, the same time full of good ad
vice. He said there were two places
where this sunshine of life could be made
practical, in the four walls of a church
and the public schools. "Have some sun
shine in the church." he said, "and the
day they took the Bible out of the public
schools crime bocame more prevalent."
Mr. Beauchamp touched upon the loose
divorce laws of AmerlcaT The figures
which lie quoted as to the difference in the
number of divorces In this country and
Canada were appalling. "What we want
is the old-day religion back and it
wouldn't take so much ice cream to run
the churches."
The baseball game today between Van
couver and the Y. M. C. A. ended in favor
of Vancouver, 13 to 5.
Mrs. M. L. Woodcock Is an admirer of
President Roosevelt as well as an ardent
Republican and political strident. She
asked the President to indorse the Chau
tauqua, and at the same time asked him
for a picture of himself. Here is the
reply she received from the ever-patient
Secretary Loeb:
White Housi. Washington. July 13, 1004.
Dear Madam: Your letter of the Cth Instant
has been received, and the President thanks
you for writing. He requests me to express
his best -wishes for the success of the Chau
tauqua. I regret that we have no lithographs of the
President on hand, but your request has been
brought to the attention of the Republican
National Committee.
Very truly ours. WILLIAM LOEB,
Secretary of the President.
SPEAKS TO EAHR0AD MEN.
Dr. Thomas McClary.GIves Address
, ' at the Y. M. C. A.
Dr. Thomas McClary, of Minneapolis,
was his humorous self again last night
when he addressed the railroad men and
the general public as well, at the Y. M. C.
A. auditorium on "The Christian Influence
of the Railway." Those who regularly
attend the Y. M. C. A- lectures and had
heard Dr. McClary give a masterful ser
mon on "True Christianity" there last
Sunday and had not heard him at Chau
tauqua, were somewhat surprised at the
wealth of humor he has when be really
gives himself up to It
His lecture resolved Itself into the
duties the railroad employes owe to the
public and the kindness and courtesy that
Is due them In turn. This field offered
opportunity for a panegyric on the gentler
as well as the sterner Christian qualities
and gave ample opportunity for Dr. Mc
Clary to amuse himself with the little
foibles of human nature such as the gen
eral hoggishness of passengers.
Dr. McClary Is a friend to railroad men
and has always been known as the "Rail
road Chaplain."
TO 3HD CITY OF VAGRANTS.
Chief of Police Gives Rigid Orders to
His Force.
With the idea -of ridding the city of a
horde of vagrants, petty thieves and rene
gades. Chief Hunt has Issued orders to
the entire force to keep on tne constant
lookout for men of questionable habits.
The order has already resulted in the
arrest of a dozen men of shady records.
Five of the number were taken, in during
the early hours of the morning by De
tectives Hogeboom and Vaughn, and the
others were captured later In the fore
noon by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan.
It Is believed by the chief that there Is
a large number of men who are merely
waiting the Lewis and Clark Exposition
under the belief that they will be able
to carry on profitable depredations during
that period with comparatively small dan
ger of apprehension. By spending sev
eral months in the city they would be
able to get the lay of the land and know
exactly how to proceed when the proper
time arrives. The twelve men arrested
yesterday are not a pleasant sight to the
eye. Eight of them are known to be con
firmed opium and morphine fiends. They
were caught in tho Red Front lodging
house on First street. Those that appear
the least offensive will most probably be
given an opportunity to leave the city at
once and the others will be turned loose
on the rockpile before being run out of
the city.
Band Concert at Yacht Club.
On Saturday evening, from S to 10, a
concert and reception will be given by the
Oregon Yacht Club at the club moorings,
just south of Inman-Paulsen sawmill.
Through the kindness of J. D. Meyer,
chairman of the Park Band committee.
Brown's Park Band of 40 pieces will fur
nish the music. The yachts, clubhouse
and floats will be decorated -with lanterns,
and this, with the full moon and a plenti
ful supply of redflre will make an attrac
tive scene. The general public is Invited,
and no admission will be charged. The
object of the reception Is to bring the
yacht club In closer tough with the pub
lic and show the Portland people some of
the natural beauties of the river. Tho
Oregon Yacht Club can be reached by
cars of the City & Suburban Railway
Company. Additional cars will be run on
the Brooklyn branch to accommodate the
crowd. The car should be left at Grand
avenue and Ellsworth street.
Killed In the Hay Field.
BOISE, Idaho. July 20. A special to the
Statesman from Cambridge says:
Leonard Greener, a member of the firm
of Greener & Bros., and a wealthy stock
grower of this county, was Instantly killed
at 10 o'clock this morning by a team run
ning away with a hayrack.
Liquors on the
Prohibition Wail Over Flow
From the New Voice, Prohibition Organ. I
T. LOUIS. Mo., July 9. (Staff Corre- I
spondence.) It requires nearly 2000
bartenders and waiters to serve the pat
rons of the World's Fair on the grounds
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
the present time. These bartenders and
waiters serve the crowds from 54 beer
halls, drinking bazaars and restaurants
whose chief sale is beer.
The entire Exposition Is hardly more
than a gigantic beer preserve. Many of
the best attractions are hidden behind beer
halls. Beer and wine exhibits, all out of
proportion to the legitimate industries,
appear everywhere, in nearly every por
tion of the great show.
In the carload after carload of stuff
dally dealt out by the nearly 2000 waiters
and bartenders, no such prodigious tor
rent of beer has probably ever been on
view In the history of the country, save
perhaps during the Spanish War under the
regime of the Army canteen.
In tho forming of the great Exposition,
the St. Louis brewers made an immense
contribution to the managers something
like $400,000. This contribution was made
with the understanding that the beer in
terests would have a sort of "right of
way" In opportunities to "get their money
back." How faithfully the Fair managers
kept their agreement, a most casual tour
of the grounds reveals. The brewer men
are "getting their money's worth."
And besides, they are all operated on a
quasi-blind-tiger basis. For when the
question of license came up, the noble
court was disposed to be "accommodat
ing." It was solemnly decided by a St.
Louis disciple of Attorney-General Griggs
that it was not necessary for each of the
54 beer halls on the grounds to take out a
license that if the Exposition simply took
out a single "blanket license" for the en
tire grounds, it would be unnecessary for
the 54 patriots to do likewise.
And so the whole institution was prac
tically turned over to the brewers, to be
squeezed like a gigantic lemon.
As the visitor crosses the "Jollet" bridge
to the entrance of the Education building,
the first exhibit that he encounters is that
of a Milwaukee brewery school. The word
"Jollet," with its famous penitentiary, has
a most sinister relationship with the
brewery "school." At the opposite side of
the Educational building is a model jail to
take care of the products of the brewery
school while on their way to "Jollet."
On another part of the grounds between
the Fine Arts building and the Boer War
exhibit, is another exceedingly instructive
"educational exhibit." It consists of a
model country schoolhouse in a little grove
a quaint, neat little building, with a jan
itor to sweep it out. Only a few feet
away and in the same grove, is a mam
moth beer hall with great signs displayed
extolling the merits of "A. B. C." beer.
Everybody should take their children
around to these two "educational exhib
its" and explain to tho little ones the
merits of "A. B. C." beer.
In the Transportation building another
strange phenomenon presents Itself. An
exhibit is made of a mammoth modol
brewer's car and beside it stands meekly a
model gospel wagon. The gospel wagon
Who Wants a Kentucky Bride?
HO WANTS A WIFE?
If you feel capable of living up to a
young lady's ideal of what a model hus
band should be, here's a sweet maiden, 22
years old, "beautiful." so the people
say,' " and anxious to find her "Ideal."
And she comes from Kentucky. And
what's more, she makes her own dresses.
But she weighs 194 pounds. But then
she "looks to weigh less on account of
compactness of muscle." Perhaps the
"ideal" had better have a little muscle,
too.
Mayor Williams yesterday received the
following letter:
To the Honorable Mayor of Portland, Or.,
from Miss Angela Pierce, Louisville, Ky..
July 14, 1004.
Honorable Mayor-Dear Sir: Hearing there
are a great many unmarried men In Portland,
would like to secure services." We have a
great many fine men here In Kentucky, but I
have never found my Ideal. I want a gentle
man of high moral character and good prin
ciple. MiMt be refined and neat In appearance,
and true to himself without being selfish. In
ANOTHER LUMBER CRAFT
CRUSADER CHARTERED TO LOAD
HERE FOR CHINA.
Hamburg-American Company Pro
tests Against Loading Contraband
Its Vessels at Portland.
on
Another tramp steamer has been
chartered to carry a cargo of Oregon
lumber to the Orient. She is the Cru
sader, a British vessel, that has never
before visited this port. The steamer
was chartered by the Pacific Export
Lumber Company and is duo to arrivo
here August 15. She will take to China
about 2,700,000 feet.
The Crusader is now crossing the Pa
cific bound for Vancouver, with a cargo
of Java sugar consigned to the British
Columbia Sugar Refinery. She loaded
her cargo at Cherlbon and was last
reported at Moji, where she coaled for
the trip across, sailing from the Jap
anese port June 27. She has a net reg
istered tonnage of 2744 and is com
manded by Captain Brown.
The Pacific Export Company now has
here the big British steamship Totten
ham, taking on a lumber cargo at In
man Poulsen & Co.'s mill for Tslntau.
Only fair progress has so far been made
in loading the vessel. At the Portland
Lumber Company's mill, the Pleiades
has taken on 1,200,000 feet of the
1,800,000 feet that she Is to transport
to Manila for the Government, and as
soon as the remainder is aboard, she
will load the half million feet that tho
Pacific Export Company is to send to
the same port.
LARGEST SAILER AFLOAT.
New Preussen Makes Record Passage
From Germany to lquique.
A trip of the sailing vessel Preussen.
which left its German home a year ago,
attracts the liveliest attention. Gener
ally speaking, the opinion provalls that,
on account of the progress made with
steamers, sailing ships are doomed. For
this reason the results of recent efforts
to utilize large sailing vessels In trans
oceanic traffic deserve special mention.
The Preussen has storage room for over
5,000 tons of freight. According to re
ports. It has fully justified expectations,
and furnished proof that sailing vessels
are not yet to be left out of consider
ation. The trip to the Chilean port lquique,
a distance of 12,000 nautical miles, was
made in 57 days, n, new record for sail
ing vessels being thereby established.
It must be borne in mind that the
weather was not always favorable, and
that the trip around Cape Horn was
extremely tempestuous.
The Paris Cosmos remarks, with ref
erence to the voyage of the Preussen,
that "if one considers the expenses of
this vessel on such a trip, compared
with those of a steamer, it becomes evi
dent that sailing vessels will never
disappear."
Only two obstacles arc met, say Ger-
Fair Grounds.
of Beverages at Exposition
appears somewhat ashamed of Its com
pany, but it is fastened and cannot get
away.
Back of the Manufactures building Is
founded a "Model City." At one end is a
beer garden, and at the other is a bucket
shop in full operation. Just outside the
"city limits" Is located the headquarters
of the W. C. T. U. The brewers forgot to
"chuck In" a Y. M. C. A. building.
In the splendid Philippine exhibit, two
more beer gardens are located among tho
Tagals and the Igorrotes. The whole res
ervation is fenced in. and It costs 25 cents
to get beyond the stockades. The two
beer gardens within the lnclosure are
doubtless designed to prevent the "sav
ages" from drinking at the outside "re
sorts." Tempting displays of Manila beer,
vino, anlsado and divers other horrid
things appear in the native exhibits.
Even Washington University buildings,
taken possession of for "Administration"
purposes, are made to harbor more "beer"
Interests. And why not? For did not
Adolphus Busch, In 1900, donate the money
to build the "Busch Annex" building of
the university, and did he not get the
privilege of operating a saloon on the
grounds during its construction to furnish
the workmen with beer? So now, in def
erence to the celebrated brewer, the "Ad
ministration restaurant," built on the
University grounds and directly in the rear
of the "Busch Annex," Is turned Into a
beer hall for the sale of Busch's liquor.
Opposite the Agricultural building, on
University Way, Is located the "Model
Poultry Farm." It Is squeezed in between
two beer halls, one of which parades it
self as a "chicken restaurant." The
"chicken restaurant" Is a cheap place
where dead hen soup Is served to take the
taste of bad beer out of the customers'
mouths. The Exposition idea of a "Model
Poultry Farm" seems to be a lot of in
different hens huddled in between two un
licensed beer joints.
Even on the "big hill," tho "West Ter
race" of "Festival Hall" is turned into a
snake hole for the sale of bad beer. Every
morning at S o'clock, as a prelude to the
opening of the beer hall, there Is given a
sacred organ recital in Fostlval Hall. The
organ moans and complains for an hour
or so and then the boozing ken in West
Terrace opens and trouble begins.
In the Agricultural building proper from
20 to 25 per cent of the whole space Is tak
en up with exhibits of intoxicants of
various sorts and from various countries.
John Dewar & Son, from Perth. Scotland,
have a reproduction of the "House of the
Maid of Perth," whatever that Is. This Is
the whisky firm from whom Andrew Car
negie bought a barrel of whisky years ago
and presented it to President Harrison.
Harrison never told how the stuff tasted.
It is said to be the same sort of whisky IS
cases of which Bishop Potter brought
from England a few years ago and tried
to evade payment of the $40 duty on It.
The bishop has since resigned tho presi
dency of the Church Temperance Society.
This whisky evidently cured him of tem
perance. It must be a very attractive
drug.
There are Portuguese wines by the rood;
wines from Peru, Argentine Republic,
Austria, New South Wales and nearly
every wine-producing country on earth.

Captain - of the Aragonia Says He
Will Take No Contraband of War.
The Hamburg-American Steamship
Company, owners of the steamer Ara
gonia, through Captain Schuldt, her
master, have filed a formal protest with
the Portland & Asiatic Company
ngainst loading any contraband cargo
for Oriental ports. Thl3 protest will
probably have no effect on the loading
of the vessel and her sailing on sched
ule time. The captain was notified by
officials of the Portland company that
if he refused to accept any of the
freight offered, he would have tq sail
from this port empty. He put himself
n wire communication with the agents
of his owners at New York and Is
awaiting further instructions.
When the steamship Arabia, of the
same line, was in port last month, her
shipper made the same kind of a pro
test, but It was of no avail, as th.e ves
sel sailed from here with all the
freight that was offered.

IN MEMORY OF GKEAT ZIONIST
Services Are Held in Honor of
Theodore Herzl.
Dr.
Memorial exercises in honor of the
memory of the late Theodore Herzl
Were held last night at the Talmud
Torah synagogue. Dr. David Levino
conducting the Hebrew service. Dr.
Levine spoke eloquently in eulogy of
the character and work of Dr. Herzl,
giving meanwhile a sketch of the raoJ
characteristics of the Jew.
"The Jew of the century has been a
puzzle," said Dr. Levine. "We are a
peculiar people, a people going through
the world, an interrogation point with
out any answer. While all other na
tions exist because of circumstances,
the .Jew exists In spito of them, seem
ing to go through tho world by reason
of sheer stubbornness and an unwill
ingness to cease to exist. He has not
cultivated brain or brawn: he has been
locked fn a iShetto, with apparently no
environment at all, and still he .has
existed. He has realized that the real
environment In which wo live is not
the mere air we breathe, nor th
ground on which we stand, but human
thought. Our minds are really the en
vironment In which we live. God's
plan Is that only those shall live who
live In the pure atmosphere of religion.
God's wisdom has been vindicated: his
way Is best, yet thousands are bowing
their heads In grief. Where will come
a leader for Israel? A prince, a great
man has fallen today."
D. Soils Cohen and Isaac Swett spoke
briefly, each expressing grief at tho
sudden bereavement suffered by mod
ern Israel In the loss of one who gave
his life to the service of his people.
At a public meeting of the Portland
Zionist Society, the Lovers of ZIon and
the Junior Zionist Society held last night,
the following resolution were adopted and
ordered spread upon the minutes of each
society and forwarded to the Federation
of American Zionists:
On this day, when Zlon weeps for her van
ished glory, added to her anguish Is the fresh
wound for the loss of the leader of her scat
tered people who gave his life that light and
hope might brighten the path of his distressed
brethren. We who. happy In hi- strength and
vigor, hoped fondly for the realization of his
lofty purpose, now join In the sorrow which
extends throughout the world wherever Zlon's
lowers dwell. Theodore Herzl Is dead. Zlon
is In tears.
Resolved, That the memory of Theodore
Herzl, the .etandard-bearer of our cause, the
lofty patriot, tho fearless advocate, the ripe
scholar, nnd the earnest Jew, will remain with
us and be transmitted to our children, a herit
age of Israel forever, as the name of one fit
to be classed with the leaders and prophets of
ancient days.
Resolved. That the highest tribute we can
pay to the memory of this precious life In
Israel, cut off In Its prime through the In
scrutable wisdom of the Divine Ruler, Is ear
nestly and enthusiastically to devote ouraeHes
and the societies we represent to the cause
which he established as a living purpose among
the nations and to the service of those, the op
pressed and persecuted among us to whom he
labored to gle freedom and a home.
May the peace of God descend upon the
stricken family of Dr. Theodore Herzl. and In
the glory of his life and the perpetuation of his
honored memory, may they find that kindly
healing which shall bring them comfort In their
grief.
At the Congregation Ahavi Sholom,
Third, near Harrison street, Isaac Swett
last night delivered an address on "Dr.
Theodore Herzl and Zionism."

Stltt and Michael Fresh to recover $3400
on account of the destruction by fire on
March 19, 1904, of a hotel at "Westport, al

shortly before the fire Stltt made some
kind of an agreement to purchase and
did buy the hotel property for $2220, which
was the full value of the place. There
was a lumber mill at Westport employing
a large number of men, and this mill It

liam Llnd, a contractor, who was arrested
and fined in the Municipal Court for dig
ging gravel at Woodlawn.
Llnd through his attorney, M. L. Pipes,
took this means of avoiding the payment
of the fine and beating the case, and suc
ceeded. After passing upon various legal
points involved. Judge George discussed
the ordinance as follows:
AH .an applicant has to do Is to publish
where hla proposed grael-p!t will be, and then
the City Council becomes the absolute and arbi
trary Judge, according, solely to Its own idea,
whether the owner shall so use hla property at
all under any condition whatever; and in eent
the City Council does not see fit to allow an
owner to open, then If he digs any ground, or
opens up a pit, however slight, or removes
any of his ground at all, he becomes a crim
inal and punishable by fine and Imprisonment.
howeer Innocent he may be of any harm to
others, or however much he may reallj Im
prove the looks- or valuo of his propertj, or
howeer little he may annoy others. While,
on the other hand, if the gravel-pit owner had
already started before August 7, 1893, notwith
standing he may be digging a dangerous and
Increasingly dangerous pitfall, and notwith
standing he Is producing an ever-increasing eje
sore to the public. It is all right, and he can
pursue hla endangering and unsightly excava
tlan and pitfall at his own pleasure, without
regulation, let or hindrance, and, for that mat
ter, when an applicant in luck passes the In
vestigation of the City Council and gets nls
permit, he then, under sanction of this ordi
nance, can deface or injure the landscape for
the public, or dig a pit of any depth or danger,
an where In the city at his own unrestrained
pleasure, so far as the ordinance is concerned.
It Is also a question whether the provision
constituting the City Council a tribunal to hear
and determine whether one applicant shall be
permitted and others denied, constitutes a
proper tribunal, to enjoin practically, In fact,
the opening of any graiel pit in the city, and
whether It la not an encroachment on the Ju.
dlcial function of a court of equity. Can the
City Council by ordinance constitute Itself the
sole Judge In the premises whether or how to
enforce Its own laws at Its own pleasure In
any Individual case? Certainly, It ought to
make Us own ordinances applicable generally
alike to all and not attempt, itself, a function
of both lajman and court In all Instances.
The court thinks this ordinance void, and the
petitioner should be discharged.
AVALANCHE OF DAMAGE SUITS
Court's Decision May Cause Property
Owner Big Loss.
All the lodgers in the Tremont House,
whose effects were thrown upon the street
and who were summarily ejected on April
21 by Deputy Sheriffs, will be entitled to
recover damages from the owner of the
property, J. H. McClung. This opinion
was expressed yesterday morning by
Judge Sears. If they all sue McClung for
damages, the total of the claims will
amount to a large sum, as there were
about 40 of them.
W. B. McPherson, the lessee of the
place, was served with notice to move
out, but he refused to obey, alleging that
his lease was still good. As the court has
decided in his favor, he will also probably
demand damages for having been forcibly
ejected.
The Tremont House Is on the corner of
Seventh and Everett streets. McPherson
had a lease for two years, with a clause
that it could be terminated upon 60 dajs'
notice. He was served with notice to
move, but asserted that it was not legal.
His rent was raised $20 per day, and he
contended that this did not amount to
notice to vacate, because he could remain
In possession if he paid the Increased rent.
Various other legal points were presented.
McPherson lost In the Justice Court, and
appealed. In deciding tho case Judge
Scars said that legal notice to leave the
premises had not been given to McPher
son. As an Intimation that his removal
was desired, the rent was raised to $20 per
day. This amount was unreasonable and
McClung had no right to try to force Mc
Pherson to surrender his lease by such
means. The building was leased from
month to month, and notice to vacate
ought to be given at the expiration of
each month. The court ordered that Mc
Pherson be restored to the premises.
Thomas McNamee, the new lessee, Is now
In possession.
Ownership of Wheat Crop Disputed.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Bellinger
heard the argument on demurrer In the
case of Phllomene Smith against Hy Yu
Tse Mllkln. which Involved the right of
Samuel Pambrun and Matt Mosgrove to
harvest a valuable wheat crop on 160 acres
of land in TJmnUlla County. In this case
Hy Yu Tse Mllkln claimed the land, and
Phllomene Smith, who Is also an Indian,
alleged that he had selected it and was
entitled to allotment from the Govern
ment. He brought suit and won in the
lower court, and also in the United States
Supreme Court. Pambrun and Mosgrove
have possession of the land through the
defendant. Pambrun and Mosgrove were
not parties to the original suit. The court
decided that the question of enjoining
them from harvesting tho wheat or de
claring them to be trespassers on tho land
cannot be parsed upon until a new case
Is filed, and dismissed the application for
an injunction. After a new bill of com
plaint has been presented, then the ques
tion of the Jurisdiction of the court may
have to be passed upon.
Question of Jurisdiction.
The Important question whether the
United States District Court has jurisdic
tion over lands allotted by the Federal
Government to Indians in reservations
was presented to Judge Bellinger yester
day in the suits of Alice Patawa, Pe Wa
To Sin Mi. Ellen Pare et aL. Joseph Guy
ott and others against the United States.
These plaintiffs desire to know If the
court has jurisdiction to decide whether
they are the heirs of allottees who have
died, and entitled to the lands. Legally
the question is, "If the Indian owners
have died, can the United States District
Court decide who are the lawful heirs, or
must the state courts do so?"
The cases presented yesterday refer to
the Umatilla reservation, but the decision
will apply to like cases in all Indian res
ervations. United States District Attorney John H.
Hall, who appeared for the Government,
contended that the United States District
Court has no probate jurisdiction, and
that County Courts have authority to de
cide these cases, as well as all other pro
bato matters. Mr. Hall said If the United
States District Court handled these cases
it would take up a great deal of the time
of the court, and would overburden a
poorly paid United States district Attor
ney. Judge Bellinger said this would not
weigh anything with him in rendering a
decision. The cases were taken under ad
visement. The attorneys from Eastern Oregon who
were in attendance In court were: R. J.
Slater. J. T. Henkle, Judge J. A. Fee and
T. G. Hailey.
Not All One Sided.
Ada Smith has filed an answer and
cross-complaint to the divorce suit of her
husband, Ralph C. Smith. She says he has
repeatedly struck and choked her, pulled
her hair and tore her clothing, and has
repeatedly locked her out of the house.
She alleges that he never properly sup- j
ported her and failed to provide suffi
cient fuel. She also asserts that during
most of her married life they lived at
Woodlawn and Smith made a habit of
going away at night and leaving her
alone. She makes numerous charges of
cruel treatment.
Court Notes.
Not a true bill was filed in the case of
Carl Wlntersteln charging him with shoot
ing a dog owned by J. W. Hunt.
District Attorney John Manning yester
day filed an information against Jack
Deloe charging him with assault and bat
tery on Charles Derry.
Arabella Bannister has sued Nathan
Bannister, to whom she was married at
LaFayette, July 5, 1S6S, for a divorce, be
cause of desertion. The defendant is now
residing at McCormlck, Lewis County,
Wash.
BREWERS ASK MORE PAY.
Union Men Want Wages Raised One
Dollar a Week.
The union brewers of Portland and
their bosses are having somo troublo
coming to a decision on the scale of
wages for next year. This being the
time of year when there Is the largest
quantity of beer sold, the brewers have
set It as the time for tho signing of
the annual contract with their em
ployers.
The question now Is whether it is
reasonable for the brewers to demand
$21 Instead of $20 a week wages. In
California, where there is a similar
strike on, the brewers arc asking $22.
This fact and the increased cost of liv
ing are the reasons given by the brew
ers for their action. The employers say
that they aro in a rather precarious
position on account of the passing of
the local option question, and do not
feel like raising wages, but rather like
lowering them.
There is not likely to be n- beer fam
ine, however, as the yearly contract
does not have to be signed immediately,
and the question has been referred to
the National headquarters of tho Union
Brewery Workers of America at Cin
cinnati, and the decision of that body
will be discussed here when made be
fore a decision Is arrived at. At any
rate, if there Is a strike, it Is not likely
to come till the Summer is well along.
