Crawford. Mrs. Lyle Is a sister of ike Oeceased and pf R. M. Crawford, and sbe took legal steps to obtain her share of th jroferty and to set aside the deeds. Each Seeks to Be Guardian. Now that sh Is very old and in need of a gvordt&a, Mrs. M. 3. Woodcock, a niece rosMtog in Corvallis, filed a petition ask tog that she be appointed, and this peti tion is also signed by John Simpson, of CorvftiHs, and George Simpson, of Albany. Menfeews of Mrs. Lyle. and R. M. Craw ford. In opposition to this is a petition rfxnted by Mrs. Kate Protzman. a step KMghter. asking that she be made guar dian, and accusing the others of acting fa the interest of themselves and R. M. "Crawford, and to deprive Mrs. Lyle and ber heirs of taoir portion of the estate of John A. Crawford. The hearing is before County Judge Webster, who Is taking tes timony so as to determine if there is any foundation for the charges made by Mrs. FrotsRHUt. Romovcd as Administrator. Soon after the death of his brother, R. M. Crawford was appointed administrator f the estate, and he illod an inventory Mating that the property was worth only Stm. Mrs. Lyle sued to have R. M. Craw ford removed as administrator, and suc ceeded. In October. 1901. she also began futit in the State Circuit Court of Linn Count to et aside the deeds conveying practically all of the property to R. M. Crawford by J. A. Crawford prior to his death, alleging that they were procured tnrooph fraud and without consideration. This action Is still pending. Mrs. Lyle has for some time past been making her home with Mrs. Protzman, her stepdaughter, In this city, and is now unable to take core of herself or manage her affairs. For this reason Mrs. Protzman desires to be appointed guardian and to defeat the oth ers, who. she says, are standing in to gether. Judge Webster will decide after hearing all the facts. Carlton E. Sax, of Albany, appeared as attorney for Mrs. Protsntan. and M. L. Pipes, of Portland, and "IV. R. Bttyou, of Albany, for the oth- WIIcox In the Boss House on August 4. O'Connor recently pleaded guilty before Judge Fraxer, aad was sentenced. Berry and Wilcox called on the Chief for thp return of the money and watch, and it was nowhere to be found. The money Is said to have been turned over to John F. Logan, attorney, as counsel for the accused, and the watch has mysteriously disappeared. The hearing of the case may disclose some interesting facts. Cities Asked to Join Portland. Letters are being mailed to all the Mayors of cities In the Northwest. In viting them to participate In Portland day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The letters state that aH the cities participat ing in this monstrous celebration, the biggest of the entire Exposition, will re ceive very valuable publicity as munici palities. The management suggests that the dif ferent cities provide suitably decorated floats emblematic of their principal In dustries, to take part in the grand parade of Portland day. It recommends the ad visability of a local committee being appointed by the Mayors, to prepare for the participation. The letters state that representatives will visit all of the dif ferent cities that have been invited to co operate in the celebration of Portland day. Similar communications have been sent to all of the state commissions at the Ex position. Besides the parade on Portland day. it is planned to have exercises, at which many prominent men will speak. The City of Portland will make two flights during the day, and at night there will be a grand sham naval battle, which will be known as "The Battle of Manila." r Four Divorces Are Granted. Four divorces were granted yesterday by Judge Frazer, all for desertion, and all devoid of unusual features. Raleigh G. Drake testMed that Stella May Drake abandoned him in October, 1902 without cause. They were married in 18&9. He was granted his freedom. Elsie Streich 'was dlvorced'from Ferdi nand Streich, who left her in June, 1504. They were married In Portland In Sep tember, 1903. She was allowed to resume her maiden name, Roberts. Bstelle Shaftner. whose husband, "W1H iam Shaftner, deserted her In Los Angeles in 1903, was granted a decree dissolving the matrimonial bonds. Matilda L. Johnson was divorced from Edward S. Johnson, a restaurant-keeper at 143 Seventh street, and was allowed $35 a month alimony for the support of herself and minor child, who Is an invalid. The litigants were married 20 years ago. Mrs. Johnson testified that three years ago her husband refused longer to live with her. Her statement was corroborat ed by two witnesses. HISTORY OP THE CRAWFORDS Followed Irish Law of Primogeni ture In Their Property. ALBANY. Or.. Sept. 22. (Special.) To understand circumstances surrounding the litigation between Mrs. Margaret Lyle and Robert M. Crawford, it is necessary to know something of the history of the Crawfords and how they have carried out in effect the law of descent In their native land. Four brothers Thomas, William, John and Robert M. Crawford came from Ireland to California in 184S. During the mining excitement of '49 in the California fields Thomas and William, the two oldor brothers, amassed quite a fortune. Later they operated a mine in Northern Califor nia for a time, and in 1SS2 came to Ore gon, locating in Albany, where they start ed a nouring mill and warehouse and were rated the richest men in the country. Thomas; was shot and killed years ago by A. J. Fox. and his brother William suc ceeded to the possession of all the prop erty. lAter John and Robert Crawford came to Albany, and John, the next in line, became identified with William in the Crawford Interests, and before the lat ter's death assumed entire control and possession of the property. Robert Craw ford spent years In the mines In Idaho, but when John was loft alone with the property Robert returned to Albany and gradually took the work of caring for tho property out of tho . hands of his older brother. Several years bofore John's death practically the entire estate was transferred to Robert, and when John died the estate to be administered was of small value. Mrs. Lyle, a sister, came over from Ireland early, and until two years ago made her home in Albany with her brothers. Two other sisters have been here, one dying without isEue. the other. Mrs. Simpson, leaving children who are now interested in the litigation. Soon af ter Mrs. Lyle moved to Portland to live with her adopted daughter, Mrs. Kate Protzman, she instituted a suit to set aside the deeds from John to Robert Crawford, alleging undue influence, fraud. otc. Robert M. Crawford was removed as administrator of his brother's estate, and John Simpson, a nephew, was appointed administrator. The gist of the story is here. From the foregoing it will be seen that the Crawfords, by deeds, etc. ef- fectually carried out the law of primo geniture to wnlch they were accustomed in the old country. Tho property went to the oldest male hoir every time, and un der the same influence Robert Crawford would leave his property to tho Simpsons. If Mrs. Kate Protzman, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Lyle, could be appointed guardian of Mrs. Lyle, she could Institute litigation that might restore to the John Crawford estate for administration prop erty worth thousands of dollars. Hence she filed a petition to be appointed guar dian of Mrs. Lyle. On the other hand, if Mrs. M. S. woodcock, of Corvallis, niece of Mrs. Lyle, and said to be aligned with The SiaDutn Interests rnnlr? ie annnlntnl guardian of Mrs. Lyic, there would not oe fK much likelihood of damage: hence her petition. The estate Involved is of great value. Not only does Robert M. Crawford own valuable milling water. front and residence property In Albany. but he Is also the possessor of numerous valuable farms In the surrounding coun try. and Is said to have thousands of dollars to his credit In the banks. Most of the money has been transferred to idano banks, while the exact amount Is unknown. It is reported to go vfar past me iw,w mark. The Santlam canal. once a part of the Crawford estate, was old for 5150.000. Great interest is mani fested here In the litigation. Struggle for Child's Custody. An interesting chapter will doubtless be disclosed in the legal battle of Lela Louisignont for possession of her Infant daughter who was given Into the posses sion of Mrs. Rosanna Green to care for. The mother filed a habeas corpus petition and Mrs. Green, through M. B. Meacbam, attorney, yesterday, filed an answer, stat ing that Peter Louisignont, the father of the petitioner, asked her Mrs. Green to find a home for the child, and she gave the baby to Mrs. Sadie Tates, of Sheri dan. Mr. Meacham stated that sometime ago somebody called up Mrs. Green by tele phone telling her he was Judge Frazer, and that she must return the child to its mother at once. Peter Louisignont, the father of Lena Louisignont, Is a resident of St. Helens. Judge Frazer set the case for hearing Monday afternoon. Sue J)r. Miller for Damages. Herman Metzgcr and Josephine Metzger, his wife, yesterday began suit in the State Circuit Court against Dr. Byron EL Miller, to recover 9700 damages on account of an automobile accident on August 1, on Washington street, near Nineteenth. The plaintiffs wero driving a horse at tached to a buggy, when the automobile approached, and it is alleged that Dr. .Miner ran the automobile into the horse, frightening tho animal, causing It to break tho harness. It Is averred that Mrs. Metzger was thrown from the buggy and seriously injured. Damage to cloth ing, doctors' bills and shocks to the nerv ous systems of Mr. and Mrs. Metzger are set forth. Ordered to Restore Property. Upon the application of Gustar Ander son, attorney, an order was issued In the State Circuit Court yesterday requiring Chief of Police Grltzmacher to appear and show cause why he does not deliver $15 to Leroy Berry, and a gold watch to Harry Wilcox. The property was taken by the police from Frank J. O'Connor who stole Jt from the room of Berry and Nease Pays His Fine. M. G. Nease, manager of the Warwick Club, who was fined WOO over six months ago by Judge George for conducting a poolroom, paid the fine in the State Cir cuit Court yesterday, with costs amount ing to a total of $295. The case went to the Supreme Court on appeal to test the law, and the mandate was receh'ed here several weeks ago, and was entered on September 15. Henry B. McGinn, 8peclal Prosecutor, caused a bench warrant to be issued for the arrest of Neaee on Wednesday. Nease promised the Sheriff to call and pay, and kept his word. Refused to Take Off Hat. For refusing to take off his hat df tur ban style 3'esterday afternoon in Judge Frazer's courtroom, George Heraklidas, a Greek acrobat, was ordered ejected from the room by the bailiff, but after some delay he complied with tho order, and was permitted to remain. He came for citizenship papers and was admitted on the evidenco of C S. Davis and another witness, who pronounced him a good man and thrifty. He said it was not the cus tom in his country to remove his hat. Verdict Against Port of Portland. A verdict ior $1500 damages against the Port of Portland and in favor of Cassius W. and Leioy C Weir, on account of damages to the steamboat Cash in the Portland drydock, was returned yesterday by a Jury in Judge Cleland's court. The "Weir brothers complained tha the boat was allowed to drop because two bilge blocks slipped, and was twisted and was repaired at a considerable co6t. They sued for $4000. ERTROOSTERSTODAY Ceremonial Feasts at Igorrote Village. MOST WONDERFUL PEOPLE A Race of Aborigines, Yet They lead a Pastoral Life Arc War riors, -Yet Peaceable and Fun-Loving. The Igorrote Villagers received yester day a large consignment of dogs of various breeds, including a fine looking Shepherd, which was at once adopted-by the natives as a pet. Among the lot was a dach shund, of doubtful pedigree, whose length and general build caused considerable ex citement in the colony, as this breed Is unknown in Igorrote Land. The people here are not yet decided as to the prob able merits of dachshund cutlets in com parison with their time-honored cur chops. The majority look with favor upon this new addition to the Igorrote bill of fare, holding that because of Its extreme length It will produce a greater num ber of rib roasts, while others are Inclined to the opinion that It is not really a dog, but a cross between a prairie dog and a lizard, and not fit for human consumption, as Its flesh must be coarso and lacking In that fine and pecu liar flavor which tickled the palates of their fathers and their father's fathers. Bocause of this lack of harmony in the otherwise united and well-satisfied na tives, the dachshund Is not doomed to an early death to grace a feast for the men from Bontoc, and it is likely that this 'near-dog" variety will be reserved until the supply of more delectable animals runs short, and the Igorrote craving for his national dish overcomes his deeply rooted objections to inferior substitutes. Corresponding Secretary Shanahan, of the Oregon Humane Society, was invited to witness the great dog feast held yes terday, in connection with the celebration of the completion of the Igorrote village. to determine whether or no the cxecu-tioner-in-chlef upon these ceremonial oc casions does his Job with tnat celerity of movement and manual dexterity which la necessary to escape the cnarges of cruelty s prescribed by the Oregon statutes and he dictates of American humanity. The feast lasted all day, and far into tho night, and will be followed up today with the sacrifice of three roosters, with which ho many huts will be christened, so to speak, and all evil spirits exercised by the magic quality of the blood. During the morning, fantastic straw Images will bo erected on the roof of the shacks to prevent the evil spirits from ever re turning, and to receive the "anlto" or spirit of the departed roostors. for Igor- rotes believe that all living things have anitos. While the early news published concern ing these people left the Impression that they were mere dog-eaters, the Portland people have been quick to discover that there Is much more to the exhibit and tho people than dog feasts, which should be eliminated entirely. It Is an educa tional display, which-elicited the highest praise from President Roosevelt. Vice- President Fairbanks and their families, In t- Louis last year, and in bringing it here an honest effort has been made to see that its best features should be en hanced. The village has caught the popu lar rancy. It Is unique. Instructive and altogether out of the ordinary, and ac tually portrays primitive man. Tho in teresting little brown people have al ready made many friends among the patrons, and with theJr fine sense of hu mor are daily adding their quota to the "gayety of nations" as exemplified at the Centennial.

Mrs. David Blakely, of Monroe street. Alblna, who was critically ill for -some time, is now on the road to recovery. W. D. Brown ell. of Spokane, in charge ox the Joundry department of the Wash intton Water Power Company, Is in .the life and Character of the Preacher Arc All Important, Declares tho Speaker. The synagogue of the Congregation Ahavai Sholom at Parkland Clay streets, was packed to the doors last night to hear the first sermon of Rabbi Wolff Wlllner. The doctor Impressed his au dience very favorably with his quiet and dignified delivery and manifest earnest ness. His continuous and fluent flow of excellent English pleased all present His topic was "The Declaration of Princi ples," and he enunciated the fundamental principles of the spiritual guide. Basing his remarks on the verso In Malachl regarding the priest's duty he reiterated the sentiment of the rabbis of old that the message delivered by the preacher to his congregation could be effective only then when the preacher like a true messenger of God practiced and performed all the duties put upon him by the one who had sent him. The first requisites of the minister therefore were sincerity and good character. "Eloquence," continued the doctor, "is required but not all important, life and example set In the daily work of the preacher give better lessons than more rhetorical flow of language. "The main topic of controversy In the Jewish church hitherto, consisted In mat ters appertaining to ritual and ceromony. but during all this time the religious school has been neglected. This is not as It should be. The roligious school is tho foundation of the synagogue and un less the children are properly taught Judaism cannot exist. "The second consideration of the rabbi must be the keeping track of the young men and women after they have left the religious school. It Is a mistake to be lieve that confirmation should end the religious instruction. An adult on re collecting the lessons taught him as a child considers the instruction that he has recoived childish. Truth, however, remains the same. The method of pres entation must -vary with the intellect and experience of him that receive It, but the adult having received only childish in structions and not having continued In the several steps through youth and age until his present riper stage of mind loses tfcjv onnoction and therefore be comes skeptical for want of proper In struction. It is evident therefore that the rabbi must take steps to keep the young men and women In touch with Jew ish truth and continue In methods best suited to every age to Impart instruction. "As to divisions and parties within a congregation or a community tho rabbi should be impartial, not taking sides with the one or the other for personal reasons of friendship or wealth, but must always be on the side of the right as behooves one of the hosts of the Lord." Rev. R. Abrahamson conducted the serv ices in his usual Impressive manner. Dr. Wlllner will deliver a sermon at this morning's services on "Judaism In Dally Life," at 10 o'clock. Holiday services will be held at the Congregation Ahavai Sholom Synagogue, on Sunday morning at 6:30, Friday morning, September 29, at 6:30, Friday evening. New Year's services at 7:30 oclock. IV. C.

Miss Mary Case and Miss Grace Gilbert will assist In WbtJoyiSeyBmng To Every Home as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions or well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici ally and presented in an. agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Calif omian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial tor the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. the musical programme. Mrs. A, A. Han ley will read an original poem. GUESTS OF THE FALKE Governor Chamberlain and Party Entertained Aboard Cruiser. Governor Chamberlain and his staff.

The returns given out late at night are not always correct, the official recount not being made until the next day. Only 200 admis sions are needed to reach 2,000.000, and It may be that the official re count today will show that the two znlllioB mark was passed last night. ernor's salute of twenty-one guns was fired as Oregon's chief executive and his staff boarded the ship. In the evening the officers and crew were entertained at tho Arlon Hall by a soclni dance. M00RES ALSO CONFIDENT Like Huston and Toozc, Thinks Ho Has the Nomination. Close on tho footsteps of S. B. Huston and Walter L. Tooze, candidates for Rep resentative In Congress in the First Dis trict, who have been visiting Portland In the last few days, came C B. Moores, of Salem, yesterday, who like each of the others. Is confident of his own nomination and does not see upon what the others base their expectations. Mr. Moores regards Huston as hl3 strongest opponent. He declared that he was In the fight to stay, and that he would not withdraw for Mr. Tooze; in fact, he rather thought that Tooze was the proper man to get out of tho way. Two candidates in the same county. Ma rlon, he admitted, made it moro difficult for that county to win the prize. Still Marion was a large county, and able to come out on top. "I obsorve." said he, "that Mr. Tooze thinks the primary campaign should be waged on principles instead -of on person alities. It seems to me, however, that the the question of a candidate's merits or demerits is pretty much everything in a primary campaign." Mr. Moores promises to get out on the stump Just as lively as any of the candi dates, when the campaign shall fairly open. When asked whether he was sure .of the nomination, he quickly replied that he was. and then more modestly said that he was not making a brass-band cam paign, and that he was reasonbly confi dent that he had tho lead for the nomlna tion.
