facts of a sensational charactor concern

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

upon these ceremonial oc
casions does his Job with tnat celerity of
movement and manual dexterity which la

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

ready made many friends among the
patrons, and with theJr fine sense of hu

The fifth day of the Temperance Con

eral discussion of the Prohibition alliance
This topic Is the theme of the white rib-
bonors who confidently expect to conquer
the liquor traffic within a few years.
The afternoon was given over to the
hearing of the arguments advanced by
several authorities on the question, who
succeeded in Interesting their audience to

a lengthy preamble: "Resolved. That we.
as citizens of the United States, in this

United States, that he break the official
silence of the present and past adminis
trations for more than 40 years upon this

that has characterized his statesmanship

PERS0NALMENTI0N.
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

Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be

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

blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem

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.

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

dent that he had tho lead for the nomlna
tion.
