Horse Killed sr Live Wire. A line
bay horse owned by Albert Ordway -was
killed yesterday morning at the Intersec
tion of Hawthorne avenue and East
Twentieth street, and Ordway narrowly
escaped losing his own life and also his
other horse. Mr. Ordway was driving: his
team to a lumber wagon west on Haw
thorne avenue, and turned on the street
extending through the Ladd Field, when
a very slender wire that hung across a
large electric street-car feed cable came in
contact with the horse. The wire had
scarcely touched the animal when the
horse dropped as If shot to the ground,
where he lay with the wire entangled
around his hind .legs and back, carrying
fully 500 volts, which was surging through
the horse's body. The other horse was
standing close by. but had not yet been
touched. At the risk of his life, Mr. Ord
way succeeded in unhitching the unin
jured horse and getting him out of dan
ger. All this time electricity was slowly
burning the horse's hind legs and body, al
though the animal was not yet dead. After
some little delay the cable carrying tne
heavy voltage was cut. but It was then
too late, as the horse was dead. Mr. Ord
way eaid he valued his horse at S25Q; as
he was a large and powerful animal.

Narrow Escape From Fire. The
Wcathcrly Creamers, on East Morrison
street, had a close call yesterday from
a fire that might have "destroyed the
building. The case is a very singular one.
It was found that in some way the elec
tric wires that feed the electric motor In
the rear of the building got crossed. The
metal casing around the motor was melt
ed with the heat, and the woodwork was
burned and blackened by fire, but the fire
"was Jn some way extinguished, but how is
not known, unless it was smothered by
the smoke. Whe,n discovered," there was
no fire to be seen, but the work of the
electric current was very apparent

DARRACH'S
SHAKESPEAREAN
RECITAL
THE second of a scries of three
Shakespearean recitals by Mar
shall Darrach was given last night at
tho White Temple before a large and
appreciative audience, which turned
out In spite of a "heavy drizzle. "Julius
Caesar" was rendered by Mr. Darrach,
who proved even more impressive and
effective in tragedy than In the com
edy, "Twelfth Night," which he re
cited Thursday night. His Interpreta
tion of such parts as Julius Caesar,
Brutus, Marc Antony and Casslus was
powerful. His version of Antony's
oration over the body of Caesar was
especially well delivered. Durlns the!
many intense scenes .air. uarraen nun
the attention of his audience so closely
that the dropping of a pin could have
bften heard. His greatest test was
that of passing- from mighty states
men and men of war Into the gentle
Portia, wife of Brutus. This he ac
complished with rare power and
charm. The third and last recital,
"'Hamlet, will be given by Mr. Dar
raclf this afternoon.
OBJECT TO FIUIL REPORT
WIDOW AXD CHILDREN' OF
IOUIS SECILTEJI COMPIiAIX.
Declare That Executor Max Smith
Did Xot Ad Wholly" In In
terest of Estate.
Objections to the' final report of'Max
Smith as executor of the estate of Louis
Sochi cm. deceased, were filed In the Coun
ty Court yesterday by Christina Sechtcm.
the widow, and- Oljra. Hilda, Albcrtina
and Louis Scchtem. the children. The re
ceipts of the estate were over JW.OH and
the balance on hand, as shown by Che
report. Is $33. The property was heavily
In cumber c-d with mortgages, and was sold
to satisfy indebtedness, and moneys were
used to pay running expenses, and for
other things.
The heirs- pbject to many acts of Mr.
Smith, and allege that they were not per
formed wholly in the Interest or the es
tate. Objection Is made to the sale of
certain property to James Gleason on the
ground that the purchase was made In
the interest of Max Smith, who ever since
has been and still is In control and enjoy
ment of tho- fame.
The foreclosure of a mortgage on the
homo property by August Klosterroan. It
Is alleged, was due to Jhe fault and decep
tion of Mr. Smith. It is averred by the
objectors that there was sufficient prop
erty to pay all of the Indebtedness, Includ
ing the mortgage debt, and that Smith
said he would do so. but failed, and Mrs.
Sechtcm redeemed the home by giving ier
individual note and xnorteagc.
Objection Is made to the sale of prop
erty to Jacob Ungcr, subject to a mort
gage for UZ00. as unfair, and for less than
Its actual value, and also to the transfer
of certain property to Henry Welnhard.
Other similar objections are made, and
also to the expenditures made as detailed
In the report. Mrs. Christina Sechtem
was executrix, but says she took no par
ticular part In the management of affairs,
nnd that Mr. Smith conducted the busi
ness of the estate, sold the property, paid
the debts and handled the money. Dufur
& Rlddell are the attorneys for the heirs.

WOMAN'S CHIMES
According to Detective Ryan
They Are Majiy.
OFFENSES IN BAY CITY
Will Return to San Francisco Tonight
Under the Charjfe of an Of
ficer "With Requisi
tion Papers.
Vrt E. S- Gordon, known also as Mrs.
"Bertha McCord. whose maiden name was
Bertha E. Lcrch. a fugitive from Justice,
accused of beatinjr boarding-house-keepers
and. hotel proprietors, of forgery and
of Innumerable other offenses, will leave
tonight for San Francisco with Detective"
T. It. Byan. . , 4
Detective Ryan arrived from aalcm last
night, where he obtained requisition pa
pers from the Governor yesterday. He
left San Francisco Tuesday night for
Portland. Detective Ryan Is well ac
quainted with Mrs. Gordon. He believes
that the woman Is capable of almost any
thing, and says the stories, except the
counterfeiting one, told about her do not
surprise him.
"She Is not capable of engineering any
counterfeiting scheme." said Detective
Ryan last night, "though she may be an
accomplice of a band of spurious coin
makers, but I can hardly believe that,"
Mrs. Gordon will be taken back to San
Francisco on a fugitlvc-from-Justlce war
rant, but will face other charges which
are held against her If she escapes pun
ishment on the original charge.
Mrs. Gordon has not only swindled her
own father. A. Lerch, of Sacramento. It
Is alleged, but th6 proprietor of the
Grand Hotel In San Francisco as well,
who Is minus JT5 on account of givinc: the
woman accommodations at his hostelry.
Mrs. Gordon has also, up to date, not set
tled with the management of the Portland
Hotel, where she owes a bill for a month s
room rent. She Is also said to have forged
two checks on the Bank of California for
$300 each, having signed the name of her
husoand, E. I. Gordon, so cleverly that
the signature fooled the bank officials.
She admitted, In a letter to Dr. Vo
wlnckle. which she wrote before decamp
ing, that she was not the wife of E. L
Gordon, and had only asumcd his name
to .help her out In personal transactions.
Through making such an admission sho
has got E. I. Gordon Into a peck of trou
ble, and a warrant for his arrest Is now
out and is In the hands of the San Fran
cisco authorities on a charge of complicity
In aiding "Mrs. Gordon to beat Dr. Vo
wincklc out of a note for K03. The last
seen of Gordon he was In San Francis CO'
about two weeks ago, but all trace of him
has now been lost.
Mrs. Gordon, devoid of paternal devo
tion, also hoodwinked her own father, A.
Lcrch, who went his daughter's bond for
her appearance before a Judg 'in San
Francisco before whom she was to be
tried. She Is said to have bad drawn
down $750 of the $1000 bond money by
clever forgeries.
There remains no doubt that Mrs. Gor
don -was married In Vancouver. Wash.,
to EL S. Gordon.. but the name of E. S.
Gordon Js- not a myth and Is only a
strange coincidence which Involves the
name of E. S. Gordon, a wealthy lumber
man of Coos Bay. "Mrs. Gordon Is thought
to have been struck by the coincidence In
names, and to have proposed the marriage
to her present husband in the hope that
money could be extorted from the Coos
Bay Gordon whom she is supposed to
have learned about In California.
The strange adventures of this woman
will probably come to an end when she
arrives at San Francisco. She says that
she will be glad to leave ''Portland and
return to the Bay City.
BACK PAY F0R EBERMAN
Executive Board Recommends It Be
Granted.
At the Executive Board meeting' yester
day, a reminder of the R. L. Ebcrman
case cropped up In the shape of a claim
for salary from the patrolman during the
time he was under suspension for belng
mixed up In a row at his Scventh-Btrcct
lodging-house, last Summer.
Tbe police committee of the body dis
missed Eberman from the force on ac
count of this episode, but on appeal to
the Municipal Civil Service Commission,
the finding of the police committee was
reversed and Eberman restored to duty.
His salary for the period of hfs suspension
amounts to about $3$, and upon the advice
of Attorney McXary. a resolution was
adopted recommending that the Council
appropriate this sum for him.
Peter Rasmuseen was appointed a spe
cial policeman for the Title Guarantee &
Investment Company's bank, and J. "W.
Inskcep was named as a- special for ten
days to assist Patrolman Kay.
Frank 1. Gillln. a lad derm an of truck
company No. 3, was ordered discharged
from the fire department for neglect of
duty. According to Chief Campbell, Gil
lln was in the habit of doing pretty much
as he pleased around the department,
coming and going whenever the spirit
seized him. Last January he was lined
i for being absent, but even this pro
ceeding did not produce the desired result,
so ho was let out peremptorily, as It was
hinted that any further leniency might
have bad moral effect.
Emll L. JCelsel was appointed a tempo
rary machinist In the fire department, and
at the request of C. A- Cogswell, clialr
man of tho street-cleaning department,
six more men were added to that force.
The wages of C De Groat. James Hayden
and Alex Mitchell were also Increased J3
a month each temporarily for extra serv
ices In the street-cleaning department.
City Attorney McXary rendered an opin
ion that the Are department could legiti
mately expend X) in the purchase of a
machine lathe, and the Council was asked
to make the necessary appropriation.
Bids for sewer work were opened as fol
lows: Sewer In Missouri avenue J. B. Slem

spectively, providing their bids were
found to be regular.

The Insurance
Investigation
How much. has heen ac
complished in safe-guarding
policy-holders from still
more plunder and corrup
tion. I n Everybody 's for
March, Lawson says:
"While jVicCall, McCurdy
and Alexander have heen
deposed, the other organiza
tions and their methods re
main. These men have gone
down before the storm as
carcasses thrown to the
wolves to distract attention
from the real culprits.. What
is worse: all check has heen
removed from the giant,
grafters of the 'System'
who have tightened their
hold on policy-holders' mil
lions more surely than ever
before, and are supreme in
their power."
The remedy for this see
Lawson 's "Black !Mag on
the Big Three" in Every
body's for March.
